Nami looked over at Megumi then back down. Then Robin did the same. After her is Franky. Lastly is Chopper and Usopp.
Megumi looked really sad. Which they knew why. Megumi woke up happy and changed, only to come down to join everyone for breakfast only to see that her parents weren't there. Megumi waited in the living room for them as Robin and Franky got breakfast ready. It was heartbreaking to see her waiting, like seeing a puppy waiting for their owner. It got worse when she had this look on her face as she looked to the opening way, hoping her parents will walk through. She sadly didn't know where her parents room was. And the look she had on her face got worse when breakfast was served.
They had wanted to check on them for her but didn't want to risk on walking in on something they would rather not even imagine happening. It was best to wait for them to show up. It's not like they left her here. They were just having grown up time.
In reality they were just sleeping in. But the others didn't really seem to think of that as a possibility. They weren't going to think about it to much because they didn't want to.
As breakfast came to close they heard some talking from the two people that were missing. "I'll ask Zeff. I'm sure he'll agree to it." Sanji says as they walk into the dining room.
"Ask him, if he doesn't agree I have a back up plan." Zoro says.
"You guys are late." Robin points out.
"Sorry, we slept in." Sanji answers. Zoro and Sanji letting out a yawn. Still a little tired. Nami raised her eyebrow at the obvious bite marks on Zoro's neck and Sanji's too. Were they trying to fool them?
"Really?" Nami let's out. Zoro looks at her.
"What think we're lying?" Zoro says sitting in the seat next to Megumi. Megumi jumps on Zoro and hugs him. She looks at him and gives him a smile before her eyes land on the bite marks.
"Who hurt you?" Megumia asks. Zoro looks at her confused before remembering Sanji's bite marks.
"It's alright. It just daddy." Zoro says dismissing it. Or trying to. At the time Sanji came in with two plates. Megumi glared at Sanji for hurting mommy. Sanji was taken a little back by this. Though it shouldn't be that much of a shock, Robin had told them that kids born to carriers are more protective of their mothers. Should have been evident when they first met, Megumi start kicking Sanji when he seemed to hurt Zoro. At least her perception of hurting. Zoro gives Megumi a smile that she did not see as her lazer focus is on Sanji. "Megumi, it's okay. This just shows daddy loves me." He says and blushed as soon as it came. He heard the others laugh at him, didn't even look at Sanji for his reaction. The blonde did give a huge smile to everyone, especially to Megumi, along with a nod.
"Oh." Megumi looks back at Zoro, then the bite marks. She seems to think for a second before leaning forward and biting Zoro herself. She smiles. "There, showing my love for you too." She sounds so proud of herself. Zoro rubs the spot with a smile to her.
"That makes me happy but only daddy okay." Zoro says. Megumi pouts but nods.
"How can I show I love you?" She asks.
"Just tell me. I love you." Zoro says kissing her forehead. Megumi smiles.
"I love you too." She hugs Zoro.
Megumi sat in Zoro's lap as he and Sanji ate their breakfast.
After that Megumi finally let go of Zoro now that she knows he's safe and here, to play with Luffy and Usopp before they leave. Sanji and Zoro took a nap on the couch where Megumi could see. They didn't have long there until it was time to leave for their own home.
After their nap and lunch Sanji and Zoro, along with the other adults got ready to leave. Packing their things, putting their presents away. Sanji and Zoro more than the others. With their things put away in their cars they said their goodbyes as the following day they all have work, minus Megumi who is still on break. They sadly also couldn't all meet up until after News years as they would mostly be busy leading up to the thirty first of December. Sadly, that was just adult life. Nothing they could do about it.
As the family of three made it home, they got all their things inside, left the presents and bags on the floor and congregated in Sanji room to take another nap together. Megumi included. They all cuddled together for warmth and wrapped in blankets as they slept in. Nothing to worry about, and nothing to do for the rest of the day besides unpack and put their things away, but they'll get to that.
Sanji and Megumi were the first ones awake. Good timing too Megumi was hungry and it was lunch. They smiled at each other and snuck off the bed, careful to not wake Zoro up. They both let the man sleep, he needed it. So Sanji took Megumi into the kitchen and they made rice balls and sandwiches for each other. They ate them happily, Megumi explaining what her favorite part of spending her time with the others was. Sanji told Megumi his, thought it was the second best part. He can't tell her the best part.
When Zoro finally woke up and joined them Megumi and Sanji had put all the things away and were watching cartoons together. Zoro joined them in watching it as he ate the few rice balls and sandwiches saved for Zoro. When he finished those and all cuddled in a blanket watching the t.v until Sanji got up to make some hot chocolate for them all to enjoy as they laze around.
They stayed in their living room until it was bedtime and it was time to take a shower and get ready for bed. Which they all did. This time Megumi joined them in Sanji's bed sleeping the night away.
