Elsewhere, in a completely different high-end apartment complex. A certain tall, freckled-faced man walks into the living room wrapped in his robe and a box of tissues under his arm. Nojiko was in the kitchen preparing soup, then walked over with a glass of water and prescription pills.

"Is Belle asleep?" Nojiko asks her husband.

"Yeah, I fell asleep with her, but I woke up just now and used the restroom."

"How adorable, It's a good thing you just woke up, I'm making you some soup right now. Here you can take this once you eat." Nojiko hands him the glass of water and medication.

"It's a bummer I can't walk in the show this week. Is Nami upset? I know how important this is." Ace asks Nojiko, who made herself comfortable on their sofa.

"She said to get well soon." Nojiko smiles at him. "Don't worry hon, your health comes first."

Ace sits down next to her, "I was going through my old things and found these college photos." Ace takes out some photos from his robe. "Here, I was playing beer pong with my frat brothers. I remembered losing, I was completely wasted that night."

"Beer pong?" Nojiko asks in confusion.

"Babe, you never played? I guess I have to teach you. We can put it on our bucket list."

"We didn't have raging parties at my college."

"That's because you and Nami didn't go to public college. Going to college was the best years of my life. After you and Belle of course." Ace smiles warmly at the photo before placing a new one in front.

Nojiko gasps at the photo Ace now shone. It was a picture of Ace and his fraternity. "What's wrong?"

"I know this face! Who is he?" Nojiko points out Luffy in the picture.

"Luffy? He's my frat brother, we lost touch with him after the first year. He dropped out of college and changed numbers. He doesn't have any social media either so we haven't been in contact for a really long time, have you seen him before?"

"I've seen him at headquarters! He came out of Nami's office one day!" Nojiko's eyes widened at the sudden connection.

"Does she know him?" Ace asks out of curiosity.

"Yeah, she does."

"Hm, small world. If she has his number you think she can give it to me? I want to see where he's been these past years." Ace takes out a new photo.

"Yes, of course."

The night was young, Arlong sat comfortably in his hot tub with four other women, two of them sat next to him. The women were recognizable, they were the women from the mermaid Cafe, the strip club. They were drinking alcohol and laughing with each other. The cheerful mood was interrupted by one of Arlong's men barging into the private room.

"A-Arlong sir, I have news you'd want to hear." The long blonde-haired man with pursed lips spoke.

Arlong turns his head in annoyance, glaring at him. "What is it?" He says gritting his teeth.

"We got eyes on Karlsson, she was with the same guy who attacked us at the club all day today, he's in her penthouse right now as we speak."

"Show me him." Arlong holds his hand out.

The blonde man gives Arlong a towel to dry his hands then hands him an iPad. On the iPad, there were several photos with Luffy, Nami, and Sunny. Luffy and Nami leave the restaurant dressed in designer outfits and shopping at Cri Min.

"Hmm, he looks familiar." A woman with pigtails on Arlong's right mentions. "Fillonce haven't we seen him before?" She asks the woman on the left of Arlong.

"Ah, yes. He was at the club a few weeks ago with his friends."

"His name…" Arlong says in a low menacing voice.

"Huh?" The woman with pigtails asks.

In a swift moment, Arlong grabs a hold of her throat. "Ishilly!" The other woman cries.

"What's his name?!" He tightens his grip on her throat.

"I….I d-don't remember…" Ishilly tells him, trying to cry his hand off of her throat. The tie on her bikini top starts to loosen.

"Real names aren't used inside the club, we don't know his name, please let her go," Fillonce begs him. Arlong lets go of Ishilly and slap Fillonce.

"Bullshit!" He roars at her. Ishilly's top falls off and floats on top of the water. "If one of you doesn't speak up now, I won't guarantee you'll make it out of this room alive."

The two other girls that accompanied them in the hot tub comforted their friends. A green-haired woman cradles Ishilly while a lilac-haired woman holds Fillonce.

"H-his name is L-luffy." The green-haired woman speaks up.

"Camie…" Ishilly looks at her green-haired friend Camie.

"What's his last name?" Arlong glares at her.

"I...I only know Luffy. I w-was there at Cri Min while t-they were shopping."

Arlong looks away and grits his teeth in anger, his fist balled, he steps up out of the hot use and is given a robe. The blonde man looks at the girls in pity, but turns away and walks away with Arlong.

Arlong walks down the hallway of his mansion with his blonde-haired dog, Chew.

"Chew, get me on the phone with Nezumi." Arlong orders.

"W-what?" Luffy looks at her stunned

"I'm pregnant...with your child." Nami looks at him intently, her arms locked behind his neck. Her breath is getting shorter with the anxiety building up. She couldn't read his face.

She gets off of him and sits next to him instead. "Look...I know I should've told you sooner but-"

"You're pregnant?" Luffy asks her again in disbelief, a goofy smile inching to stretch across his face.

"Y-yeah…" Nami was taken aback by a kiss. Luffy pulls away and holds her hands.

"What do we do first? You're keeping it, right? Do we need to see a doctor tomorrow? This is so exciting!" Luffy runs his hands through his hair, the smudged red lipstick on his lips didn't stop him from smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing him smile so big made Nami's heart flutter, she didn't expect him to take it this well.

"Woah there, you're asking way too many questions." She tucks a piece of hair behind her ear. "I am keeping the baby. I love children. If I weren't a celebrity figure I'd be working at a daycare or elementary school. Secondly, we can set a time to visit the doctor after this week. Right now, we have a fashion show coming up and I need to give you pointers since it's your first time."

"No, we need to go to the doctor tomorrow, forget the show we have a baby on the way." Luffy objects.

"Forget the show?! This show is my life! We can think about the baby later, okay?" Nami gets up from the couch and makes her way to the kitchen.

"This isn't just your life, you have a new life growing inside you. I don't wanna argue with you, it's gonna stress out the baby."

"Oh please, the baby hasn't even formed yet. I'm at least three weeks pregnant. I get that you're just worried, but I'll take care of myself and the baby until we see a doctor. Okay?" She gets herself some water and gives him a reassuring smile. "Now come on, let me see you walk, everything has to be perfect for this weekend."

Luffy looks at her and returns the smile, "Fine, you win." He gets up from the couch and walks over to her.

"Hey, Alice? Turn the living room lights on."

The smart house obeys its command and turns the living room lights on, Nami takes Luffy's hand and walks him over to a spacious part in her living room. "You stay there." Nami stood him still and she walked away from him, keeping a good distance from him.

"Alright, stand up straight, look confident, don't look at me, look past me. Never look at the audience unless instructed. Don't swing your arms too much, keep your posture straight and take that goofy grin off your face, you can't smile when walking."

"You look so pretty over there being pregnant and all."

Nami blushes, "s-stop, be serious Luffy. I'm serious so you have to be serious. We have four days to get this right."

"Okay, okay."

"Now walk to me." She places her hands on her hips.

Luffy walked towards her, his posture wasn't that good, he kept looking at Nami, he tried to fight the smile off his face and his arms were swinging too much. Nami sighs and rubs her forehead. They had a lot of work that needed to be done in these four days.

"Luffy did you listen to anything I said? Go back from the beginning." Nami instructs.

With the sunlight of dawn creeping into the penthouse windows, the two expecting parents were cuddled onto the couch, asleep from the tiring activity last night. Nami, who laid on top of Luffy, propped herself onto her arms and looked to see the early morning light. His arm wrapped around her waist to make sure she didn't fall off, securing her on top of him.

"Luffy." She says to wake him up.

They had big plans for today, first Luffy needed to get his belongings and go to-

"Mmm…" Luffy groans.

"Get up, sleepyhead, we have a lot to cover today." Nami wiggles her way out of his arms after he loosens his grip. She stands up and fixes her dress, Nami picks her phone up from the coffee table to give Sunny a call.

"What are we doing today?" Luffy rubs his eyes, still tired from walking all night.

"Well, I'm calling Sunny to take you to the station and back home. We'll meet later at the venue for fittings and rehearsals."

"Well what about-"

Nami places a finger on her lip to silence him, "good morning sunny, sorry to wake you so early but can you get dressed and chauffeur Luffy around for a few stops? We'll meet later at the Zou dome for rehearsals and fittings." She speaks on the phone with Sunny.

"Okay, you'll be here in twenty? Okay, I'll let him know. Thanks a bunch."

She ends the call. "Now, Sunny will be here in twenty minutes. I don't have any underwear or anything for males, but I do have extra toothbrushes in my guest bathroom."

"Do you need anything to eat? Is the baby hungry?" Luffy gets up from the couch.

"You cook?" She asks, seeing him walk to the kitchen.

"No, but I can try."

"I appreciate the effort, but I'll stick to professional chefs. I'm gonna take a shower to get cleaned up, I'll let you know when Sunny's here." She says before heading to her chambers to get ready for the day.

Luffy stomach's growls due to his low hunger. His hands tremble, reaching for the door to the refrigerator. He didn't want to attempt cooking here, he'd rather try to cook back at home where he wouldn't feel guilty for messing up someone else's.

"So...hungry." he sighs in defeat. Before he could lay back on the couch for ten minutes, he decided to practice his walk that he's been trying to perfect all night. Practice makes perfect after all.

Nami strips out of her dress and turns on her shower her hair and makeup a total mess. Her lipstick smudged from making out with Luffy last night. Luffy...hm…she thought about the handsome man in her living room. They stayed up until twelve in the morning trying to get him runway ready. He's no pro, but he's not an amateur anymore either.

What is he to her? Not just a one-night stand anymore, but now the father of her child. She places a hand on her stomach. She totally forgot she was pregnant, but the reminder was the look on her boobs. She sighs letting the hot shower steam up the bathroom.

A nausea feeling started to overcome her body, she felt sick to her stomach. She walked over to the toilet in case she needed to hurl. She knew for a fact that morning sickness was a pregnancy symptom but didn't know when to expect it. After taking a few deep breaths allowing the sick feeling to go away she got into the shower.

Twenty minutes or so went by and Nami's phone rings on the bathroom counter. Nami turns the shower off and wraps herself in a towel. It was Sunny, who was outside downstairs. Nami slips into her house slippers and walks out of her chambers to meet Luffy.

After Luffy had practiced walking for a bit, he got cleaned up in the guest bathroom and chilled on the couch watching some good old Dragon Ball Z. The doors to Nami's chambers caught his attention, the sun was now coming up and the light shone brightly into the penthouse. His breath nearly got caught in his throat seeing Nami in a short white towel and her hair damp. Her gorgeous long legs definitely looked like the legs of a model, she had the phone in her hand.

"Sunny's downstairs. Are you ready?" She asks him.

He nods his head, unable to speak.

"Okay, I'll see you in a few." She smiles.

Luffy gets up and turns the television off. He goes over to the entrance to put his shoes on.

"Oh and Luffy?" Nami comes to meet him at the door. "Please don't tell anyone I'm pregnant. I don't want the news to surface. Not yet at least."

"Aw, not even my friends?" He gives her a puppy dog face.

She reaches behind him and opens the door. "Nope, not even your friends. Sorry."

Luffy backs away slowly out of the penthouse, still giving her a sad puppy look.

"Need some cheering up?" She playfully asks him.

Luffy face immediately lit up thinking she'd give him a goodbye kiss but it was something better.

"Happiness Punch!" She says.

Luffy eyes bulged from his head at the quick sight of her naked body, with terrible timing, the heavy door closed on its own. He could hear Nami giggling at him on the other side of the door and putting his hands in his pockets, slowly walking to the elevator with a goofy smile on his face.

"Damn." He cusses to himself.
