Well, it's finally come to this...The final REAL chapter...I really appreciate all of the overwhelming support and such, being such a young and inexperienced writer! (I AM only 14 years old after all!) :P

It's so nice to write something that many people enjoy, and I do hope that I continue to intrigue you all with my future writings! WELP! ONWARDS!

TWO WEEKS LATER

Everyone had mostly gotten over the shock of the very rushed and unexpected proposal by now. Surprisingly enough, everything was back to normal. Luffy had announced that the wedding wouldn't take place until he became the Pirate King, so everyone just laid back and waited for another island to pass by.

In fact, it was almost as if Nami and Luffy weren't fiancees at all. Other than a couple sweet moments between them, and countless teasings and jokes, they just treated each other like a Captain and his Navigator should treat each other.

Usopp, however, was very timid after all of this, almost like something was about to explode every time he saw something. He noticed the subtle, little differences in everyone's behavior. Luffy seemed a bit more mature, especially around Nami. Zoro and Sanji flat-out ignored each other while Robin giggled at the mere sight of them. Even Chopper went out of his way to follow Luffy like a shadow.

Usopp sighed. He had always thought Luffy was asexual. Heck, it made him gag to even THINK about any of the crew falling in love, much less marrying. But, if it made his Captain happy, he would fully support it...He thought. He smiled and began playing cards with Chopper.

"Oi, Nami?"

Luffy tugged at Nami's sleeve impatiently before she huffed and looked back at him.

"What?"

Luffy looked around anxiously and very noticeably tested his breath. Nami smiled a bit at this.

"What do you want Luffy?"

Luffy smiled at her warmly.

"Do you think we can talk in private for a second?"

Nami raised her eyebrows.

"Sure."

Luffy grabbed her hand and walked her to woman's quarters. He opened the door and stopped for a second.

"Eh?"

Zoro and Sanji were sitting on the bed talking when they both looked up at the two and fell off the bed.

"W-What are YOU two doing here?!"

Nami let go of Luffy's hand and leaned against the door with an evil smirk.

"We're the ones who should be asking that..."

The two men coughed, looked at each other in embarrassment, then rubbed their heads.

"Oh...Uh...We were just talking...about...uh...how much we hate each other's shitty guts!" Sanji replied frantically.

"Really Love Cook...That was the best you could come up with?"

'SHUT UP MARIMO! YOU JUST RUINED IT!"

"I ruined WHAT exactly?"

They both stormed out of the room, leaving Luffy and Nami staring after them oddly. After the confusion died down, Luffy closed the door and sat on the floor with a sigh. Nami sat on the bed.

"So, what did you want to tell me?"

Luffy looked around the room and then focused on the floor.

"So...um...what exactly do 'married' people do?"

Nami smiled hesitantly, then rested her head on her chin.

"Why do you want to know?"

Luffy coughed.

"I dunno...it's just everyone makes such a fuss about it; but nothing awesome has really happened yet...I dunno.."

Nami rolled her eyes.

"So...you're just bored then?"

"No! It's not that! It's just..." He scratched his head. "I don't know..."

Nami chuckled and lifted her head. She then stood up and pointed out the door.

"Well, first off, let's go outside! It's stuffy in here..."

"Aa...It's kind of weird too..."

"...be quiet you idiot..."

They walked back outside and looked around. Everyone was off doing their own things. Luffy motioned toward the Sunny's head. They climbed up to it, and sat on the head. There was just enough room for the two of them. They both stared into the vast blueness for a long time before Nami rested her head on his shoulder and spoke.

"You know...I feel that you know a little more about this stuff then you let on..."

Luffy smiled and put his arm around her.

"I have an acute instinct I guess..."

"I guess..."

Luffy grinned and began to laugh. Nami looked up at him oddly.

"You know...I really didn't understand everything that Chopper told me that day. But...there was one thingy." A thought bubble appeared over his head with an image of the Sunny filled with mini, child-like versions of him. Nami stared at this for about a minute before she gave him a "really" face. Luffy giggled.

"I like children! They're funny!"

"...what's this about children?...you moron..."

"Aw! What's so weird about making a bunch of little tiny Nakama!?"

"...just no..."

Luffy pouted and looked toward the sea again. Nami just thought to herself. God no...get that image out of your mind...Nami shook her head and stayed silent for a moment.

Luffy stopped pouting and looked wistfully at her. To him, she had changed so much. She didn't seem scary anymore; she was really REALLY pretty, and nice...It had been about a month since he first noticed that, and it seemed normal now.

Nami watched him stare at her with that longing expression, then lifted her head, crawled into his lap, and grasped at his collar, pulling his head to hers. Luffy laid back on the Lion's mane nonchalantly and pushed her head gently to his with one hand, deepening the kiss. They locked passionately for a long while, not caring about anything else. After they both were satisfied, Nami leaned back and sat in front of him, their legs intertwined.

"Nami?"

"Eh?"

"This is what married people do, right?"

Nami smiled and tilted his hat away from his face.

"How would I know? I've never been married..."

"Me neither."

"Of course you haven't...moron."

Luffy looked up at Nami's face, their noses nearly touching, and snickered happily. Just as he was about to say something, Nami let go off the hat and hopped off the head.

"Let's go join the others. Dinner will be ready soon."

Luffy gave a saddened expression, then grinned.

"Alright! If you go I go!"

Luffy dropped down next to her with a plop. Nami giggled at the sound effect and started heading toward the kitchen, when and hand suddenly grasped hers and spun her around. Before she realized what was happening, her hand was intertwined with his over his head and she was being gently pushed closer to him with the crook of his arm. Nami was surprised by this; it was very...gentleman like. Her thoughts screamed out "EHHH!? LUFFY A GENTLEMAN?!" but the feeling was incredible. He leaned in very dramatically and gently kissed her for a good five seconds. He slowly brought his head back and lowered her arm. Nami was in shock.

"L-Luffy..."

He smiled softly and whispered in her ear.

"That one I learned from watching Shanks..."

Then he grinned, back in character, and let go, running toward the kitchen. Nami stared at the open air for a long time before regaining her senses.

"Who would've thought?" She whispered to herself. "That moron can actually be hot..."

She wiped her sweaty hands on her skirt and tried to cool her blush before walking into the kitchen.

XXXXXXXXXX

Most of the food was eaten, and everyone was laughing loudly. Robin kept a close watch on Zoro and Sanji, who were glaring at her with fire eyes.

"This is awesome!" Laughed Luffy. "The food tasted even better than usual today!"

Sanji stopped staring at Robin and grinned at Luffy. Luffy grinned back with a "Hee", which made Nami very happy. It seemed like Luffy and Sanji's relationship grew even closer after he left the crew. She smiled softly to herself and sipped a glass of Sake.

Once everyone scuttled out of the kitchen to do their own things, Nami noticed Luffy headed to the deck with Chopper, talking about something. Luffy was laughing and sparkling stupidly while Chopper kept facepalming and lecturing him. Nami suddenly became curious. What were they talking about?

Finally Chopper left flustered, leaving Luffy by himself. The boy giggled happily at his thoughts and skipped joyously toward Nami.

"Hi!"

Nami raised her eyebrows at his la-la behavior, then waved.

"Hi! What's with that stupid grin of yours?"

Luffy giggled again and tugged his hat over his eyes. Then he peeked back up at her with one eye showing.

"Little Nakama!" He grinned and skipped merrily away whistling. Nami stared after him for a second, before she massaged her temple.

"Are you kidding me?" She sighed to herself.

XXXXXXXXXX

"OI! DARTBOARD! GET YOUR FREAKING CIGARETTE OUT OF MY FACE!"

"SHUT UP! GET OUT OF THE WAY THEN!"

"Oi...You two are fighting a lot more lately..."

"SHUT UP USOPP!"

Just then, Chopper walked in stressed and plopped on the floor next to Robin. He stared up at her unhappily.

"...Robin why did you put that image in Luffy's mind?"

Robin smiled and looked away.

"I have no idea what your talking about..."

"I just talked to him, and he told me that you mentioned 'Him having children with Nami' Then he got all weird and sparkly and said he thought kids were funny..."

Robin giggled and looked the other direction.

"I've just been having so much fun the past month..."

"Oi...I think there is one more person in this crew who wants to throw you off the deck now..." Chopper muttered.

"GET YOUR SMELLY FAG OUT OF MY FACE!"

"WHAT THE HELL?! IT'S A SHITTY CIGARETTE YOU DUMBASS!"

"I KNOW THAT! I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU!"

"YOU'RE THE FAG, YOU MARIMO!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FAG!?"

Robin grinned.

"It's not very nice to use that word, love-birds..."

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU WOMAN!"

Chopper sighed and plipped away, trying to calm his innocent mind down.

XXXXXXXXXX

Night came, and Nami couldn't sleep. Among some leftover feels from the tragedy from a month ago, something new topped it.

"I like children! They're funny!"

She sat up in the bed and pinched her nose. Why did she suddenly feel so happy that he said that? It was wrong...and almost scary. Heck, he didn't even know how it happened! She calmed herself and looked down at her pillow. She stared at it for a while before she heard the door open.

"Can I come in?"

Nami looked up and saw a bed-raggled Luffy, dopey and droopy. Nami hesitated for a second.

"Yeah. Come right in."

Luffy nodded in thanks and shuffled sleepily over to the bed, then plopped right next to her. Nami looked at him, half-confused and half-alert, then tucked a strand of her behind her ear.

"What's up?"

"I can't sleep..." He said while yawning. Nami nodded in sympathy.

"Me neither...I have too much on my mind.."

"Same here...And the weird dreams have come back..."

Nami stiffened and remembered when he had first mentioned them back at the island. How anxious he was to stay awake after having them. She swallowed.

"Weird dreams?"

"Aa..." Was all he said. He stared at the floor awkwardly and tussled the hair under his hat. They sat there in silence for a long time.

"Oi...Nami...when I become the Pirate King, can we get kids?" He said quite suddenly. Nami flinched at hearing this.

"Nami?"

"We'll see..."

Luffy seemed satisfied and he grinned.

"OK! What will we name them!?"

"YOU'RE BEING TOO HASTY YOU IDIOT!" She yelled. Luffy lowered his head in fright and Nami felt a pang of guilt.

"...Luffy?"

"How about if we get a girl we name her Nojiko?"

Nami stopped at this and looked thoughtfully into Luffy's shy eyes. She thought for a moment. Where did all this talk about kids come from?! Then, she looked back. Nojiko...He'd name his own kid Nojiko... She smiled.

"Fine...But if it's a boy we'll name him Ace...got that?"

Dead silence from Luffy. Nami cocked her head, worried that she hurt him. Then Luffy rubbed his neck and pouted.

"Aw...If it's a boy I'd name him Rufi..."

Nami sighed in relief, then facepalmed.

"...That's pretty much your name idiot..."

"FINE! Luffy then!"

"No..."

"Ruffy?"

"No..."

"Yfful?"

"...The hell is that?"

"IMAN!"

"...Is that my name backwards?"

"Yeah..."

"...No, just no..."

Luffy laughed and glanced at Nami. There was a small sadness, yet joy in his eyes.

"Just kidding! I like it. Ace it is..."

They stared at each other for a long time before Luffy suddenly laid down on the bed, arms behind his back.

"Can I sleep here tonight?"

"Certainty."

Luffy let out a happy breath and closed his eyes happily. Nami watched him relax for a moment, before he smiled.

"Ah...Your bed is comfy..."

"Thank you..."

"No problem.."

Nami then realized how tired she was and gently lay down beside him. She noticed Luffy beginning to fall asleep. Then he scooted closer to her and nuzzled his head on her shoulder cutely. As she fell asleep, she thought to herself with sad happiness.

"Nojiko...Thank you..."

There you go...Hopefully it was a fitting ending to this fic! I have to say, it was really tough to think up of a good end!
