Having missed her so much Sanji kept Luane to herself after they made their trip to an amusement park. Sanji seemed really happy to have Luane back but it makes sense, he understood that. Having someone you care for deeply and having been with for so long all of a sudden being gone. You start to feel uneasy. So now that she's back, he's estantic.

Zoro sat up off the couch of watching Arin make level on Mario maker so Luane can try to get through it. It's something they've been doing, they each make a level for each other then play it. If it's hard to get through then they lose. The whole point of the game is to make levels that you could reach the end of. Zoro takes Lili and heads for the kitchen but on his way he hears the door ring. Not wanting to leave Lili alone by herself anywhere he goes to the door.

He opens it to find a very shocking person there. "Sanji's not here." He says making sure she knows.

"I know. I actually came here to talk to you." She says with a smile.

"Me? Why?" What could he possibly talk about with Sanji's sister?

"Advice on something."

"On what specifically?"

"I would like to talk about this sitting down if you don't mind." She says kindly. Zoro stares at her for a while. He also doesn't want to be standing here and talking.

"Then come in. I'm about to start on lunch so we'll talk in the kitchen." Zoro says showing her the way. Zoro sits Lili down while Reiju sits close. Zoro gets the pots and pans out and ingredients. Taking a peak at her here and there. She played with Lili a little. "So what is it that you need advice on?"

"I don't know if Sanji told you but Luane doesn't seem to want to leave him and I don't want to force her to be with me and my partner but having her there, my partner has come to want children."

"And you don't or you do?"

"I do. Which is why I wanted Luane but she doesn't need me or want."

"And where do I come in this?"

"Well, me and my-"

"You could just say Pudding." Zoro interrupts. "You and Pudding want to adopt." Zoro guesses. That's the only reason he could see for her wanting to talk to him.

"Yes, we do or - how did you know I'm married to Pudding?" She asks shocked.

"Luane told us. She met Pudding." Zoro starts laughing as he remembered Sanji's face. "The cook was so shocked. The face he made always makes me laugh."

"Well, it's adoption or we find a sperm donor. I wanted to talk to you about adoption."

"What about it?"

"Just the process. How long it took. What we have to do?"

"It was different for me."

"Because you weren't dating Sanji at the time?"

"Did Luane tell you that?"

"No I guessed from the last time I was here."

"At the time I was single and I'm a cop. Also the place I adopted them from isn't you normal adoption center."

"I see."

"I do know people that can help."

"Thank you. What do you think I should do about Luane."

"You're asking me?" Zoro asks looking at her. He saw her head facing down. He turns back to the cutting board. "What about Luane?"

"Do you think she'll be mad at me?"

"Why would she be?"

"I'm her mom and I wasn't there for her, and her I am wanting to adopt a child."

"The question should be who are you to Luane? If you are some random woman who gave birth to her then she might not care."

"And Sanji?"

"He has Luane. She's all he cares for."

"Besides you and your kids."

"True. But Luane will always he his number one."

"How was it? Adopting."

"It took a long time but I was happy to know that they're finally mine."

"Are you sure Sanji is okay with it?"

"If you tell him I'm sure he'll be fine. I told you, he's got Luane. He's raised her, she's his. He's not gonna be mad as long as he has Luane or at least the ability to see her but since you are not taking her away he should be fine." Zoro gives her a smile. "As long as you're happy."

She stares at him shocked. "What?"

"Sanji was shocked, and a little worried. He didn't tell my anything just that during his engagement with her she hurt you a little. He was worried about you but you seemed happy from what Luane told us. As long as you're happy then he doesn't mind."

"He was worried?"

"He didn't tell me anything specific. He told me the small run down of what happened. He was Puddings fiance, he wasn't happy about it but to keep Zeff save he went through with it. He also couldn't complain about it either. He was getting married, it may have been forced and arranged but he didn't have anyone special at the time. But when he learned the truth on the wedding and how she hurt you he didn't want to go through with it. He also knew about her sad backstory but he couldn't love her after. So to hear you married her, he was worried."

"I guessing you had something do with him being behind the idea of 'as long as I'm happy.'"

"I was adopted too. When I learned my sexuality, I'm gay, I was afraid to tell my father. I ran away to a curtain favorite place of mine. He found me and we talked about. He told me he didn't care who I loved as long as I was happy." Zoro smiles fondly at that memory. "And I was."

"I'm guessing not with Sanji."

"No with someone else." Zoro says.

"I'm sorry."

"I loved him, and I was happy."

"I'm sorry. For whatever happened."

"It's alright, I was happy and now I'm happy again."

"Sanji and Luane seem happy with you. So do your kids. It's been a long time since I've taken care of a baby. How did you choose them?"

"I didn't really choose them. I was taking care of them and it fit. They both seemed to fit with me. It was like a puzzle piece. Are you going to adopt an infant? Or a child?"

"We haven't discussed it yet but what about you?"

"With Lili I'll be with the only one she knows when she grows up but with Arin it's different. He'll remember his parents, but he'll know he's not alone. I made a promise to keep him safe and that's what I'll do." Zoro says

"So it's up to us?"

"Don't worry. You'll know because it'll feel right."

"Thanks for the talk."

"Sure but why didn't you ask Sanji."

"He didn't go through what you did to adopt, I just gave him guardianship. I wanted to know the process."

"It'll take a while but if you really want it then the wait is worth it." Zoro says.

"Thank you for that. I'll talk to Sanji about it, I hope he'll understand."

"I'm glad to help."
