Sanji stirred awake. He felt really warm, something he's been feeling more this season. Usually he's cold when he wakes up, especially during winter. He blinked a couple times before fully being awake. He turns around the room. It wasn't his room. For a second he forgot where he is, until his eyes land on his and Zoros luggage on the garbo storage bench at the foot of the bed.

Sanji felt his arm tingling, he turns to see Zoro wrapping himself on him. Sanji turned his body as much as he can to the night stand. He picks up his phone to see the time. It was early, usually Zoro and Megumi would be up with breakfast done. He wondered if anyone is awake. The thought to check crossed his mind but he didn't want to get out of bed, the warmth that Zoro brought was hard to give up.

Sanji grit his teeth as he felt his arm tingle with what felt like static again. It didn't hurt just felt uncomfortable. Carefully he moved Zoro off his arm, turning until his body faced the other man. With his right hand free he shook it until it stopped the static feeling, when it vanished he rest his head on it as he used his left arm he held Zoro close. Zoro wrapping himself more around Sanji. The blonde just smiled. Who would have thought Zoro is a cuddler in bed? Sanji didn't but it's nice and he loved it.

Sanji rest there for awhile, enjoying the warmth, he knew he's going to have to wake up and get out of bed for breakfast. Or does he? They are under a roof with almost nine other adults, Luffy is questionable but other than him the others are capable of making breakfast themselves. They don't need him.

"Mmmm?" The blonde heard Zoro hum. He must be waking up too. He felt Zoro reach up and rub his eyes as he looked around. "What time is it?"

"A little after eight thirty." Sanji answers. He looks down at Zoro who didn't seem to be in a hurry to get up.

"Is everyone awake?"

"Not that I know of." Sanji answers. He moves down and lays kisses on Zoro's neck, the marimo letting out soft moans at the feeling of the blondes lips on his neck, right were his vein is.

"Then we should get up." Zoro says.

"Do we have to?" Sanji asks, smiling as he stuck his tongue out and licked the spot that he was kissing. He felt Zoro's whole body shake.

"I would love to continue this, but we don't want Megumi to disturb us do we?" Zoro asks. Sanji pauses and looks at Zoro's face. He frowns at the memory. Sanji had woken up with some morning wood and Zoro had offered to take care of it for Sanji. It was getting steamy and good, then Megumi threw the door open and jumped on the bed talking about a new day of winter break. Who was she going with that day? Was she going with Sanji to the Baratie or the All Blue? Or was she going to go with Zoro to Ohara? Either way she was excited. Zoro couldn't help the laugh that left out of his mouth as he saw the look Sanji gave. He was so disappointed. He had to take a cold morning shower.

Sanji sighs. "You're right." Sanji moved off of Zoro. "We better get up and get ready." Sanji, extremely disappointed, gets his clothes out. Zoro joins Sanji and gets his own clothes out. They both get dressed then head down stairs. No one was awake.

For a second Sanji thought it was just cause this place was big, that's why he couldn't hear anything from their room. They made their way down to the kitchen. It was empty. Sanji looked at Zoro who just shrugged. "Breakfast?"

"Sure. I'll make it." Sanji answers. He felt a little anxious with being in someone else's kitchen, but they were awake and he felt like Robin and Franky wouldn't be too upset about them making something to eat since they were awake and no else is. It should be fine. Zoro got up to help Sanji make breakfast.

While they were finishing up they heard a crowd walking in. "Your up!" they heard being shouted, they turn to see everyone up at the same time.

"Hope you don't mind us taking over the kitchen. No one was down here." Sanji says.

"It's fine, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too much to ask making breakfast for everyone." Robin smiles.

"Might as well." Zoro answers. They all cheer and go into the dinning room to wait.

As Sanji worked his magic, Zoro went into the dining room with plates for them. He handed them down one by one as they all make small talk. "I don't think I've ever slept this late in." Nami says sliding the plate to the next person. Passing plates around the table.

"I don't know if it's because we were up late or if we are all tired from our jobs." Usopp says.

"I'm not saying that's it's because we were up late, it makes us sound old." Nami says.

"We all have been working our asses off since graduating." Franky points out.

"So what do we do today?" Luffy asks them.

"Mommy! Daddy!" They hear echoing around the house. The others stare at each other then Zoro who only had a smile on his face, so did Sanji, not that they could see it.

"We're here!" Zoro and Sanji yell.

Robin started to laugh. Then the others join. "Is morning always like that for you?" Brook asks Zoro.

"Kind of." Zoro shrugs. "Especially when she goes to our room and doesn't find us there." Zoro adds.

They heard a small thundering, and turned to see Megumi running to them with the excited dogs. "I thought I was dreaming." Megumi runs to an empty seat and climbs on. "I forgot we are here." She says smiling at Zoro. Zoro just smiles. He forgot too.

"Breakfast is ready." Sanji announces as he walks in holding plates of their breakfast.

They all talked and ate breakfast together, as a big weird family.

They all sat with each other, Sanji had prepared and cut up some cookies, baking them then let the others decorate them. Zoro looked over at Megumi with her tongue out as she concentrated on her cooking decorating.

"Here's another batch." Sanji says scooping the baked cookies onto another tray full of more finished cookies.

"Thanks daddy." Megumi smiles. "Like my cookie?" She asks showing him.

"It's nice." Sanji says. He could tell it was of people but not of specifically who.

"Then you could have this one." Megumi hands him. He opens his mouth and Megumi shoves the cookie in his mouth. He gags a little but recovers, giving Megumi a smile.

"Good." Sanji smiles. She looks over at Zoro to see him working.

"What are you making mommy?" Megumi asks with her hand on his bicep as she looked at what he was doing.

"I'm doing a cat." Zoro says showing her.

"Wow, Zoro that's actually really good." Usopp praises.

"Thanks." Zoro smiles.

"Can you make me one too?" she asks.

"Sure. What do you want?"

"I want a tiger. Like from the stories you use to tell me."

"Okay. I need the green frosting, and white." Zoro looks around for the frosting bags. There were a bunch on the table. Megumi helped grab the frosting and gave it to Zoro.

"You use to tell Megumi stories?" Sanji asks sitting down, finally joining the group.

"Yup, mommy told me stories every night." Megumi answers. Sanji looks at Zoro as he focused on the cookie.

"She ran out of books once, so I had to make up stories for her for night time." Zoro answers.

"That's adorable to think about." Nami says. Robin stands up.

"Looks like it's my turn to bake."

"What are you making?" Megumi asks, curious.

"Gingerbread houses for us to decorate." Robin answers with a smile. Megumi stares at her. She's going to see a real gingerbread house, and maybe help decorate it.

Sanji sat watching Zoro make the cookie. It was a white and green tiger with three golden earrings, like himself. "Here Megumi." He says, handing it to her.

As they continue to finish decorating the cookies Sanji noticed Megumi hasn't touched the cookie Zoro decorated for her. She kept it next to her, not even taking a bite from it. They even moved from the dining room to the living room to watch a movie and decorate the gingerbread house.

The cookie stayed with her until one of the dogs ate it. Zoro starred as she yelled 'no' while the others were cleaning up after lunch. "My cookie!" Megumi shouts.

"You could have this." Usopp hands her one of the few cookies he decorated but didn't feel like eating it. Megumi stared at it, then up at Usopp. They all felt bad about it. They all watched as her lower lip started to quiver. Was she about to cry?

Megumi shakes her head. "No thank you. It looks like crap." She says as the cookie Usopp offered didn't look like anything because he was left with little frosting. She then turns and face plants onto the couch, scooting more until she's firmly tucked into the couch, face firm into the pillow. In the background Nami couch be heard laughing her ass off at Usopp's shocked and hurt expression.

"Megumi no saying bad words." Sanji says going back to the kitchen. Zoro sits up off the couch and goes to get a cleaning wipe so Megumi could clean her hands that have been holding onto the cookie since Zoro decorated it for her.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Chopper asks Zoro.

"Like what?" He asks back. "She shouldn't have been carrying it around for so long. If she didn't want it touched then she should have put it away or ate it herself. I'm shocked, I thought it would have fallen and broke, not be eaten by a dog. She'll be fine once she sulk about it and forgets." Zoro says. He goes to Megumi and pokes her back. "Before you continue wash your hands." Zoro says. Megumi twist around holding both her hands up. He hands her the wipe and watches as she cleans both her hands. Zoro knew she really like the cookie but what's done is done. She hands the wipe back to Zoro and turns back down to the pillow. Zoro rubs her back before throwing the wipe away, then joining Luffy in playing more games.

"You're really not going to do anything?" Nami asks Sanji in the kitchen, with Franky and Brook cleaning. Sanji shrugs.

"How many times as a kid did you lose or break a toy?" Sanji asks.

"Lot's."

"This is just like that. What do you expect me or Zoro to do. Dissect the dog for a cookie. We already decorated all of the cookies I made. I'm not going to prepare and bake a whole batch of cookies just so Megumi could get one. She'll get over it." Sanji answer.

"We can't spoil her too much." Brook adds.

"I guess. It's just, I... really thought Zoro would do something."

"We love her. Zoro and I would both kill for her but at the same time she's got to learn and grow."

"She's got to grow through touch lessons sometimes right?" Franky asks. Nami just nods. She guesses she had the wrong idea about how Zoro is as a parent.

And forget she did. She played some games with Luffy and Usopp. Ran around with the dog that ate her cookie. Drew some pictures and watched a movie, many movies as they waited for dinner and after dinner.

Sanji saw Megumi yawn. He check the time to see it was a little late and time for bed. Sanji nudged Zoro with his elbow. When Zoro turned to him he tapped his wrist. Zoro got it and looked at the time to see it's late, not as late as yesterday but still late. Zoro stands up getting the others attention. "It's time for bed Megumi. Let's go take you a shower." Zoro says. Megumi nod as she walked to him. He picks her up and leaves. Sanji joining them.

They all dipped into the bath after they washed themselves, sighing from the hot water. It felt nice. They relaxed and it was quiet. They didn't even realize how loud being with the others was. It's fun being with them, the loudness, chaoticness, the excitement of being with them and letting go but it's nice to be alone, at least with their small family of three. Peaceful with silence of the water dripping.

Sanji raised his head and opened his eyes when he heard Zoro laughing. "What's so funny?" He asks. Zoro smiles down at his arms.

"Megumi fell asleep." He laughs a little as he held onto Megumi so she doesn't drown. Sanji looks to see Megumi did have her eyes closed and her head fell on Zoro shoulders.

"I think it's time to get out and go to bed." Sanji says helping Zoro with a sleeping Megumi. Sanji carried Megumi out, Zoro dried himself quickly then took Megumi as Sanji did the same. Since Sanji dried Megumi as Zoro dried himself all Zoro needed to is put Megumi into her pajamas.

When they got out they saw the others getting ready to take a shower themselves. They saw the three and smiled. Nami went up to Zoro and poked Megumi's cheek. "she fell asleep?" She asks.

"Yup, that just means she had fun." Zoro smiles. Sanji just smiles.

"Good night everyone." Sanji says with a wave.

With that they leave. Setting Megumi in her bed before hitting the hay themselves. Exhausted from a rather tame day. They didn't work, but it was still tiresome.

Tomorrow though might be more tiresome.
