Zoro found himself awake. He blinked a couple of times to really wake up. There was no light coming in meaning the sun hasn't risen yet. Zoro saw a small silhouette coming closer to him until it was up to his face. He didn't see anything else until he felt a small index finger poke his cheek. "Mommy?" He heard being whispered to him. He smiled and started a small laugh being quiet to not wake up Sanji next to him. "It's almost time." Megumi whispers moving carefully to let Zoro get off the bed. Zoro slowly got off the bed and moved slowly so he didn't bump into anything or trample Megumi.

Carefully he got a big, thick, and heavy blanket. Its New Years. They stayed till midnight but got tired so they went to sleep but Zoro and Megumi have a tradition to see the sun rise. Sanji seemed really tired, evident by how he fell asleep as soon as his face hit the pillow.

Once out of the room Zoro closes the door but not all the way. With Megumi they make their way to the balcony. Zoro picks Megumi up, holding her in his arms as he wraps them in the blacker. When they are nicely bundled Zoro opens the sliding glass for and walks put the balcony. It was covered in snow but Zoro got some new shoes on and swiped it off. Zoro closed the glass door in inch away front fully closing. He walked until they were in the middle waiting for the sun to rise.

Megumi hugged Zoro, her arms wrapped around his neck as they wait in silence. "Mommy." She voices in the silence, "this year was fun." She looks at him with a smile. Zoro smiled back at her.

"I had fun to. What was your favorite?" He asks. Megumi looks away to think. Zoro hugged her closer, wrapping the blanket more around them as the cold wind went by.

"I can't choose. Everything was fun. Finding daddy. Playing with Luffy. My birthday. Spending more time with Grandpa." Megumi says. "What about you?" she asks looking at Zoro curiously.

"Finding daddy was nice. Seeing papa Zeff was fun. Talking to the others is fun too." Zoro says. There was a lot of good things that happened this year just as much as the bad. Getting attacked at home was not something he wanted to happen but it did he was glad and lucky that Sanji was in his life then, so were the others, who knew what would have happened if they weren't there? Then they moved into Sanji's apartment. Which had helped him immensely. There was a second person to take care of Megumi and he was able to find another job. Because of Sanji he was able to worry less, and Zoro knew that it lessened what ever Megumi had on her shoulders. Because of his job at the club Zoro always felt Megumi was forcing herself sometimes and now she's not which is what he's glad about. She always acted a little mature but now she's more childish. "Excited for the new year?" He asks. Megumi nods.

"I want it to be more fun than last year." Megumi says with one of her bigger smiles. Zoro loved seeing on her face. It means she's happy and that's how he wants to always see her.

"Me too. What do you want to do this year?"

"I want to go to another amusement park with you and daddy again." Megumi adds, "I want us to do go to the aquarium with daddy."

Zoro nods, "I think we could do that. I'm sure daddy would love to do that." Zoro smiles, there was no question about it, Sanji would plan their day to the aquarium immediately. Sanji would be excited about it just as much as Megumi would be. Thinking about it now, he's the same. They just talked about it and already he's can't wait for that day.

"What are you guys doing?" Sanji asks peeking his head out. Zoro and Megumi gave him a smile.

"We are waiting for the sun to rise." Megumi says.

"Did we wake you up?" Zoro asks.

"No," Sanji shakes his head. They didn't wake him up. He felt cold and woke up. When he turned to see Zoro he saw the empty spot. He saw the empty spot and searched for Zoro to see him and Megumi on the balcony. He stopped to hear them talking. He didn't want to be left out and he didn't want to be eavesdropping. There was no need to do that. "Can I join?" Sanji asks. Zoro nods.

"Sure." Megumi answers moving the blanket to let Sanji in the blanket too. Sanji joined them wrapping the blanket around them, making sure both were warm. Then he wrapped his arms around Zoro's waist. He felt warm again, and he loved it. He didn't like feeling cold. "Daddy, what was your favorite time last year?" Megumi asks looking at him, bending over to looks at Sanji on the other side of Zoro. Sanji rest his head on Zoro's shoulder, turning to look at them with a smile.

"Meeting you." Sanji says. Zoro just laughs.

"Even though she kicked you." Zoro says as he laughs again.

"Right." Sanji says, he forgot about that. "Then the day you guys moved in." Sanji says. That was when things really changed. From his feelings to his understanding of who Zoro is as a person. It all changed when Zoro introduced Megumi to everyone but this took a turn when they moved in with him.

"What do you want to happen this year?" Megumi asks. Zoro smiles, she's just asking him what he asked her. Sanji smiles too, thinking the same things as Zoro.

"I..." He remembered a night ago or two when he asked Zoro about marriage. He would love to marry Zoro. But maybe that's to soon. "I don't really care as long as you both are there with me." Sanji smiled bigger at Zoro's blush but Megumi just nodded, like she agreed.

"It's a new year." Zoro says as they watch the sun begin to rise, the orange glow lighting up the blue sky. "Let's see what happens." Zoro looked over at Megumi. "Want to go back to sleep?" He asks her. She nods giving him a nod.

Sanji moved to let Zoro back in, he followed behind. He watched Zoro put Megumi back in her bed. Then he followed Zoro back into their room. "What about you?" Sanji asks as they get ready for bed.

"I don't care. As long as we are together I'm fine with anything." Zoro smiles.

They give each other a kiss and go back to sleep cuddled in each other arms. He'll never get use to this and he doesn't want to.
