(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
Oven took the book while Sanji just sighed and got comfortable with Luffy hanging onto him and being nearly perched in Sanji's lap.
"Mm? What?" Brulee began to wake up, only to nearly shriek when she saw her mothers sleeping face in front of her over the heads of her siblings."
"In my defense I'm used to sleeping alone or occasionally cuddling with Broye!"
"Oh you're awake." Oven said from behind Brulee where he had pulled her close to his chest.
"Brother? What? Why are we in mama's bedroom, much less her bed?" Brulee asked looking at her siblings confused. They were all curled up into a big pile on one of the pillow with Mama's hand preventing any of them from rolling off the bed, as if she were cradling them.
"Well you were cold still so I stayed with you but our siblings wanted to make sure you were okay. We decided to have a sleep over but Mama wanted to keep an eye on you too so we stayed in her bed last night." Oven whispered so that they didn't risk waking up any of their still sleeping siblings or mama."
"Shishishi! Sleepovers are always fun!" Luffy said grinning widely.
"But what about our baby brother? What did I miss on the report?" Brulee asked moving to get up, only for Galette to keep her pinned down with a sleepy grumble and an arm around her sisters waist."
"Half of us are morning people. The other half though…"
"Wake me up early and I will stab someone!"
"Not much and Mama gave Tamago until this morning to double check the information while you recovered." Oven said while Daifuku stretched slightly from where he was curled up around their legs.
"You should have told us that using your powers so much strained you like that." Daifuku scolded his sister who just shrugged a little bit.
"When I first got my powers I thought it was just because I was still learning. It wasn't for a few years that I noticed it only happened when I went long distances or to new mirrors. I can go around the islands under mama's command no problem, it doesn't even strain me a little bit. But using it to go to the East Blue on top of using a new mirror…" Brulee admitted while Galette opened one eye sleepily and pinned her sister with a glare.
"It's three in the morning. Shut up and go back to sleep." Galette grumbled earning a small snicker from nearby.
"Actually its' five now." Amande corrected her little sister amused, earning a small smack to the shoulder from an equally drowsy Mont-d'Or who obviously agreed with the Minister of Butter."
"Most of the younger siblings and a few older ones are not morning people." Amande said chuckling.
"Still too early. Go back to sleep." Galette said cuddling close to Brulee who just realized that she was laying on top of Perospero.
"He refused to let go of you too. We were all really worried little sis." Oven mumbled at Brulee's look of confusion.
"Sorry." Brulee said feeling guilty but strangely pleased as well. She sometimes questioned if her siblings actually cared about her, she knew in her heart that they did but sometimes her mind said otherwise, and this was proof that they did care. They… and Mama."
"Of course we care!" The Charlottes were clamoring to reassure their sister of that and she blushed but cuddled close to her siblings.
"I love all of you. Don't ever doubt that." Big Mom said seriously to her children who looked halfway like they were ignoring her or not believing her.
"Don't apologize sis. We should have paid more attention and noticed that something was wrong." Perospero was the one to say, earning an agreeing hum or grunt from most of the older siblings that were awake.
"You're one of the tallest without being part snake neck or long leg, but you're also the skinniest. I can feel your bones when I hug you sis. That should have been a major warning sign that something was wrong."
"It should have been." Broye said with a grimace at that, she should have noticed long before any of their other siblings did. After all she was Brulee's twin and one of the ones Brulee spent the most time with.
"Perospero said softly as he cuddles his sister who was a little taller than he was. She was eleven feet and like nine or ten inches tall. He was ten foot eleven himself, so it was a bit awkward to cuddle her like this with the height difference but it was okay. He didn't mind. He just wanted to make sure his little sister was truly okay.
"It's time for breakfast. Make sure the kitchen knows to prepare something not candy or sweets for Brulee." Big Mom said her voice soft but still naturally loud, waking any of her still sleeping children easily and causing Daifuku to nod as he stood up and jumped off the bed.
"On it Mama." Daifuku said taking off out of the door while all of the siblings began to stand up or stretch a bit, a few jumping off of the bed as they did so.
"Where do you think you're going Brulee?" Perospero asked when Brulee began walking towards the large mirror in Big Mom's room."
"My house in the mirror-world most likely since I was either unconscious or out of it when the doctor said no devil fruit usage." Brulee said shrugging slightly at that when everyone looked at her confused or curious.
"Back to my house in the mirror world so I can shower and change cloths." Brulee said looking at him confused only to yelp slightly when her mother picked her up and settled her back on the bed next to her siblings that were still there."
"A mama bird returning the baby to the nest." Robin said looking amused and making Brulee blush slightly and stutter.
"Doctors orders. No Devil Fruit usage for two weeks and there's no reason to go back to the mirror world just for that. You still have your room in the castle after all. You can use the shower there and change into any cloths that you left in the closet there. If need be I'm sure some of your sisters have cloths you can borrow." Big Mom said sternly to her daughter who looked surprised but nodded slightly."
"Hell yeah free excuse to steal clothes." Brulee said grinning and trying to lighten the mood.
"We need an excuse?" Luffy asked looking confused by that.
"Come on sis. I have some cloths you can borrow." Smoothie said, being one of the only ones whose cloths would actually fit and dwarf the Mirror user.
"I was hoping to raid Brother Peros closet for one of his dresses or skirts." Brulee teased her brother who scowled up at her although he seemed relieved by the playful teasing.
"How many times do I have to tell you that those aren't dresses and skirts! They're formal attire suited for-"
"They're skirts." The rest of the Charlottes chimed to their older brother who sulked and pouted.
"They're dresses and skirts son. The only one you're fooling is yourself." Big Mom said amused and making Perospero look betrayed.
"Mama!" Perospero cried in betrayal as he looked at his mother dismayed. Brulee burst out laughing at that, making all of her siblings smile or chuckle a bit as well, while Perospero smiled but hid it as he pretended to sulk. Inwardly he was glad that his sister was feeling better."
"Thank you Peros-nii-san." Brulee said moving from Oven to snuggle against Perospero who smiled softly and tucked her under his arm.
"Come on sis. I have some cloths that will fit you and some shampoo and soap you can borrow since all of yours is in the mirror world." Amande said smiling at her sister as Brulee moved to the edge of the bed again, only to yelp when Perospero grabbed her and put her on his shoulders.
"Brother Peros! I can walk." Brulee said squirming in her brothers grasp while Oven was already beginning to check his sister over as if looking for injuries again.
"Hmm…nope. You might do something to strain yourself again." Perospero said making Compote and Amande exchange amused looks as Brulee sighed slightly."
"They're being overprotective again." Brulee said sighing slightly at her siblings antics.
"You all are going to act like you did when I first got my scar aren't you?" Brulee asked even as her younger siblings were led out of the room by a giggling Galette.
"If you mean you're going to have to deal with us being clingy and possessive and overprotective…yes." The fourth daughter, Amande's twin sister Éclair, said grinning at her younger sister."
"Do they mean Hachee? Or Effilee?" Galette asked wondering why the hell someone would think Éclair was Amande's twin. There wasn't any sibling named Éclair.
"Go on children. Get ready for breakfast. We'll be hearing more about your brother after we eat." Big Mom shooed the children from her room as she spoke, causing Brulee to hold onto Perospero's head to keep from falling off of his shoulders. This was extremely awkward for her given the height difference, and she couldn't imagine how awkward it was for him for the same reason, but he refused to put her down."
"Rules of piggy backs. Do not drop your little brother or sister." Ace said matter of factly.
"Yes mama." All of the children dutifully responded as they filed out of the large doors, all heading towards the area of the castle reserved for the Charlotte children that stayed in the chateau.
"So…what do you think we'll learn about our little brother today?" Compote asked as the elder children went up to the higher floors where their rooms were located.
"Maybe how he survived the would be execution attempt by Buggy." Oven suggested even as Daifuku met back up with them.
"Execution attempt?" Brulee asked her voice sharp and cold all of a sudden and making her siblings shiver a bit."
"No one fucks with my siblings." Brulee growled.
"Out of all of them Brulee was the most protective of their younger siblings, and even though Perospero and Amande had an inkling as to why…none of them knew for sure."
"I think most of us older siblings have an inkling." Compote said gently as they older ones glanced at Brulee who pointedly did not look at them.
"Sister nothing strenuous and no Devil Fruit usage remember?" Compote tried to sooth her sisters rage a bit or at least calm her down so she didn't have another attack.
"If I find out that some arrogant clown harmed a hair on our brothers head I'll make sure I do worse to him, than Oven-nii-san did to that guy from when I was twenty three." Brulee said coldly and making everyone wince."
As they did now.
"Brulee, Oven, and a few others along with some Chess Peacekeepers had gone on a mission to the Paradise half of the GrandLine when Brulee was twenty three to get a rare ingredient. One marine with a strange Devil Fruit, even by their standards, had taken Brulee by surprise when she was separated from Oven and slammed Seastone cuffs onto her wrists."
Brulee's eyes went hazy and her breathing was beginning to become panicked but Luffy launched himself at her and tickled her like crazy, distracting her and making a few people look relieved.
"The man had been planning to rape Brulee and had ripped her dress…he was about to penetrate her when the Chess Peacekeepers found them and managed to keep him distracted and away from Brulee until Oven arrived to investigate what was taking his sister so long.
Oven saw red when he saw what the man had been about to do…and then Brulee saw red when she saw Oven literally burning and melting the man who had dared try and violate her."
"Of course I did. How dare some filth try to defile my little sister." Oven nearly spat flames at that as he glared darkly at the ground. If he or the Chess Peacekeepers had only been a minute later…
"Without even bothering to try and find the ingredient anymore, Oven bundled his sister back up onto the ship and immediately headed back home. As soon as he explained why they returned without the ingredient, Big Mom had Brulee in her grasp and was looking at her trembling and traumatized daughter worried."
"I remember that…" Broye murmured quietly, remembering how she had felt as if she were about to lose her twin for being a victim.
The older ones who remembered that all were glad that Luffy was still tickling and distracting Brulee through this while the younger ones looked stark white and horrified.
"Sister. Where is your mind?" Perospero asked breaking Brulee from her thoughts before she could remember any more of that time, and making her shake her head to clear away any lingering thoughts of it.
"Probably got stuck in a mirror." Oven teased gently, glancing worriedly at Brulee. He knew where her mind had been, his had been there too before Perospero's question.
"Better than being melted like yours." Brulee responded without missing a beat, earning a snort from Amande and Daifuku both."
"Reign in the fangs there sister." Oven said with a smirk towards Brulee who was now trying to tickle Luffy in return.
"Stay in the present sister. Stay here with us in the now, not in the past." Perospero said making Brulee relax and nod a little bit, it did no good dwelling on that day and what had almost happened. What could have happened had the Chess Peacekeepers not been far from her.
"Fine but if I learn someone nearly killed our baby brother when we weren't there to train or protect him…I will go nuts." Brulee said her voice deadpan and matter of fact at the same time.
"Only after the doctor says you can sis. We don't want you having another attack." Compote said calmly.
"Not to mention that your recovery will give us time to track them down and plan how to best hit them where it hurts. You're not the only protective one after all." Amande said flicking the sword out of it's sheath just a little bit and causing Brulee to look at her curious."
"Did…Did Amande-nee-san sleep with her sword?" One of the decuplets asked staring at their older sister.
"Sister Amande? Did you sleep with your sword?" Brulee asked causing the snake neck to pause with a small blush on her face while Compote began snickering.
"No." Amande lied quickly earning a look from all present siblings. Seriously? She tried that on the ones that knew her best and could tell when she lied even without their Observation Haki?"
"She did. She almost always sleeps with her sword." Hachee said with a smirk towards her quadruplet.
"You were cuddling it like a teddy bear Ama." Perospero said using Amande's childhood nickname. Brulee busted out laughing again at how red Amande turned even as she shouted at their big brother, which was out of character itself.
"Shut the fuck up Peros!"
"It's okay. Zoro sleeps with his swords too and Usopp sleeps with his sling shot." Luffy tried to reassure Amande as he bounded away from Brulee and ended up perched in her lap.
"Personal space Luffy!" Nami called to her captain who pouted and then launched himself at Zoro who caught him with ease and just let Luffy cling to him.
