Zoro let out a sigh. He closed the door but not all the way, then walks downstairs to Sanji who is tired just like him. The books warned them but they didn't know how tiring taking a care of a baby is. It's been a whole month and they still aren't use to it. They want a break but no one besides Law know that they have a baby. Who can they ask?
Today wasn't bad only because they left the house for the first time in a month. The whole time Sanji would go out and do the shopping, even left to go to work. Since it's finally the first month check up they left to go to the hospital to meet Law. They all agreed to Law becoming Olivers doctor. It's best this way, since he's familiar with the family history and wont ask unnecessary questions. How could they answer if the doctor were to ask where Oliver came from? Zoro can't lie and wont be able to keep up with Sanjis lie.
Luckily they both are healthy, Oliver is growing as he should, slightly smaller than normal but healthy when considering the circumstances of his birth. Zoro is healthy too, he's healed fine, body changing back to before he got pregnant. Of course Law suggest they wait another month before having sex. To make sure Zoro's body is really ready for any sexual activity. Just in case Zoro accidentally gets pregnant. They should wait. And it's cute that Law thinks they have time to do anything besides kiss and sleep in the same bed. They have become slaves to Oliver.
Sanji smiles at Zoro as he sets the plates down for their late lunch which should just be considered dinner at this point. "He's asleep?" Like he needed to ask. Zoro wouldn't have come down if he couldn't get Oliver to sleep.
"Took a while. Must have been excited about getting out the house." Zoro smiles. So was he, going out during the day, ever since he started working from home he only went out at night and stayed home during the day. Today would be the first time in a long time that he went out when the light is out. "I was a little excited to." Zoro answers with a smile.
"It's been a month, Law said that it's fine to take him outside, he's got the vaccines he needed, so why don't we go to the park?" Sanji suggests setting their food as fast as he could. Zoro smiles, that sounds good. He could do that.
"That sounds fun, we can-" Zoro stops to look at the baby monitor at Oliver whimpering. "I'll be back." Zoro says, head down in defeat. Sanji nods, they gave Oliver his pain medicine for the vaccine after the doctor visit and they learned that they should have given him the medicine before because it takes an hour at least for the medicine to take affect. Right now Oliver is not happy about the pain and the medicine hasn't fully hit yet.
Sanji sets down his and Zoro's plate on the table just as the door is knocked on. Sanji quickly runs to the door to answer it not wanting the person to knock again and louder in fear of disturbing Zoro and Oliver. He opens the door and before he can react or greet the guests the person in front of the group pushes the door open and walking past him.
"Zoro! Zoro! Get your ass here! Why haven't you been answering my calls! Or emails! We've got work to do!" they yell from the top of their lungs. Sanji could only stare in horror and shock as the orange haired woman, his friend, barge into his home yelling at the top of her lungs. Nami look around the place with a frown on her face. She walk all the way to the window. The others, being Robin, Usopp, Chopper, Franky all came in slowly past Sanji who shut the door behind.
Now Sanji would never harm, physically or emotionally, a woman but maybe this time will be alright because how dare she push past him, which isn't the problem but she also yells for Zoro at the top of her lungs. For one Zoro is busy and two she could wake up Oliver which was a challenge to even get him to sleep even though the medicine hasn't reached its peak. They have enough on their plate as it is. Sanji turns with a frown. Ready to yell at her for disturbing the peace. He doesn't get to.
Zoro comes running out, looking over the loft area with a frown. "Who the fuck is yelling? Do I need to send someone to the hospital?" Zoro threatens looking down at Nami and the group but mostly Nami. Sanji calms down. Zoro will and can do the threatening and lecturing for him. Already, just his presence seems to do the trick. Namis frown turned into a scared expression. "What the hell are you doing here and why are you yelling?" Zoro demands, face angry and ready to teach someone a hurtful lesson.
"I..." Nami starts but she felt her legs shake and her hands tremble. Zoro look more scary than usual. He is out for blood today. Her timing must not have been the best. She couldn't think of anything to say which is funny because she came here for a reason, they all did but it won't come to her. She is scared mindless. "I-I c-came-" she starts stuttering for an answer butt gets interrupted by a small whimper. They all look around for where the noise is coming from, all except Zoro and Sanji. The blonde lets out a defeated sign while Zoro's glare gets deeper. He turns and goes back into his room as the whimper turns into crying. Full on baby cry.
With Zoro gone they turn to Sanji for answers on the obvious cry of a baby. Sanji walks further as they hear Zoro try to soothe the baby back to sleep.
"W-who's baby are taking care of?" Usopp asks but the look on his face is still unhappy about the whole situation. This was the only answer he could think of for the situation they are in. They had to be taking care of someone else's baby.
"Ours." Sanji growls as he moves to get their plates and put them in the microwave to keep them warm.
"You sound upset." Robin tells him.
"Of course I'm upset. We haven't had lunch yet so we were about to eat it, then Nami comes in yelling and waking our baby up." Sanji glares in their direction but they know who it is for. Nami shrinks. She didn't mean for this to happen, she didn't know but that's just an excuse. One she doesn't think they will accept. If even Sanji is mad at her then it's serious.
"S-sorry."
"Why are you here?" Sanji asks, which startles everyone. He ignored Nami apology. He would never do that, even if it was her fault, he always accepted her apology.
They look up, Zoro came out upset but he held in his anger, not wanting to yell or shout. But he got more angry the more he had to hold it in, he wants to shout and stomp. All at Nami. He's so mad, he's never been this angry before and he doesn't know where all this anger is coming from. It's an accident, he knows but that doesn't stop his anger, it doesn't calm him, how could it when she woke up Oliver who is in pain and sleeping is the only time he's not hurting. "Who do I need to punish?" Zoro threatens. The faces of their guest turn pale. The boys sweating a little. Not wanting to get punished they all look at Nami who jumps in her skin at the eyes on her.
Traitors. She looks at him for a second then turns away. The look in his eyes are the scariest she's ever seen them. Like he's staring into her soul and learning her weakness so he can torture her. It is so scary. She swallows the lump in her throat, trying to calm her shaking legs. "I'm sorry, Zoro." she says gripping on the hem of her shirt. She's never had to apologize, the blonde away lets her get away with things. Not this time it seems.
"Shut up about your apology, it doesn't reverse time. What do you want?" Zoro gets closer. Sanji moves to get their plates out of the microwave checking for how warm it is.
"I- I tried contacting you for business but you wouldn't answer. My emails or my calls."
"I'm on paid vacation. I already got approved, Usopp should know this." Zoro looks at the long nosed man who jumps in his skin at both Zoro's and Nami gaze.
"I do know but I thought Nami also knew. I thought we came here to hang out." Usopp adds holding his hands up, he's innocent. "It's been months since we saw you." Usopp adds.
Zoro frowns at Nami. How did she not know? "What about you?" He asks Robin who flinches.
"Yes, I did know too. I also thought we came here to see you and Sanji. It's been a long time." She smiles her usual smile.
"Zoro, let's eat before he wakes up again." Sanji says showing his hands that held their plate of food. Zoro nods.
They watch as both Sanji and Zoro scarf their food down. It is their first, almost, uninterrupted meal. One that they didn't have to stop to feed or change Oliver only to come back to the table to their food cold. Having to eat a cold meal. Both of them finished their meal semi peaceful. They get up, Zoro picks the plates up and goes to wash them while Sanji grabs them cups and pours them some juice. They drink fast, Zoro handing his empty cup to Sanji who rinses them out but leaves them in the sink. Zoro goes to the refrigerator to grab his water bottle. He starts drinking like he is dehydrated.
"How long have you had your baby?" Chopper asks.
"A month."
"Do you need a doctor for your baby because I could-"
"No, thanks for the offer but we already have a doctor for him." Sanji smiles.
"Oh, who?" Chopper asks a little hurt.
"Zoro's family doctor. He knows more, about us." Sanji smiles.
"It's fine Chopper." Zoro says walking by, to the couch as he let out a yawn, stretching his arms over his head. Robin narrowed her eyes at Zoro as his shirt rode up. She saw on his stomach area very obvious stretch marks. It's common for people who have lost too much weight at once to have them.
"Can we see him?" Nami asks hopeful.
"He's asleep." Zoro says.
"Right." Nami sinks.
"You wanted to hang out, what did you want to do?" Sanji asks sitting on the couch with Zoro.
"Just talk." Usopp joins them. "Thanks for the advice. Kaya and I adopted a kitten. A coworker of hers has a cat and she had a litter so we adopted one from her. I have pictures." Usopp pulls out his phone to show some pictures. "where is Lady?" Usopp asks as he pulls up some pictures, the best.
"Oliver. She likes to sleep with him. He's warm."
"You named him Oliver?" Nami smiles. "That so cute."
