"Where did my cigarettes go?" Amande asked looking confused when her cigarettes weren't next to her on the bed where she had left them.
"No smoking." Chopper said seriously causing Amande to look over at him, only to see her pack of cigarettes in his hand.
"How did you even?" Amande questioned looking from where her cigarettes had been to where they were now.
"Nami and Robin taught me how to be sneaky." Chopper said shrugging it off and putting the cigarettes behind him on the table.
"But no. No smoking for you anymore. Cigarettes are very bad in general, much less for a pregnant woman." Chopper said seriously as he stared at her although he wasn't very frightening in his small form.
"Let me put it like this. If you smoke while pregnant or around a baby, you can cause irreparable harm to the child. You could even cause them to die as a baby because of the damage the cigarettes would do to them while they were in your body. In the time we're from you gave up cigarettes after Sabo was born because he had weak lungs from you smoking for the first several months of your pregnancy." Chopper said making Amande's mouth, which she had opened to say something, snap shut as her hand flew to her belly.
"Cigarettes did that to my baby?" Amande asked her voice a bit softer than normal and making Ace look away, distracted from trying to figure out who made his brother smarter by the tone in her voice.
"Please sister. Just listen to the doctor about this. You cried yourself to sleep for months after he was born because you blamed yourself. I don't want to see you go through that again. I don't want to see the guilt and horror on your face as you listened to make sure your baby was breathing because of how his lungs were." Brulee said moving over to sit beside her sister whose eyes widened at that and she paled drastically.
"Right…no cigarettes." Amande said nodding her head in agreement almost dazedly. Why hadn't she ever realized that cigarette smoke was bad for babies before? She spent plenty of time with her younger siblings and her numerous nieces and nephews while she smoked and none of them ever seemed to have a problem…oh but she had only started smoking five years ago as a way to help with her scratching. Most of her siblings and nieces and nephews were beyond the baby and toddler stage by then.
"Don't worry. We won't let you relapse into smoking and we won't let Sanji, he's the cook, smoke around you or the baby when Sabo decides to come out either." Luffy said with a smile as he reached over to place a hand on Amande's shoulder while Ace sat on her other side and hugged her close.
"Don't worry. This baby is going to be so loved and spoiled. We won't let anything happen to him." Ace said kissing Amande's neck as she laid her head down on his.
"And hey since Ace isn't going to die this time…maybe Sabo will have a few siblings huh?" Brulee asked teasing her sister who smiled slightly at the thought of several beautiful little healthy children running around calling her mommy and the man next to her daddy.
"Let's wait until Sabo here is with us and see how things go." Amande said making Ace give a small hum of agreement as he merely held the older woman close, both of their hands held over her stomach.
"Speaking of me not dying…how did I die Luffy?" Ace asked glancing at his brother who frowned and tilted his hat down a bit.
"Blackbeard. You got into a fight with him and his crew, they caught you and handed you over to the Marines while exposing you as the 'Pirate Prince' as the reporters called you afterwards. There was a full scale war between the Whitebeard Alliance and Marines at Marineford. I broke into Impel Down to try and get you out before that but was…delayed thanks to Magellen. When I broke out I had over 200 prisoners with me and we assaulted Marineford as well. I managed to free you with some help, but when we retreated it one of the Admirals made several remarks about moustache-ossan that pissed you off and you tried to fight him. When you were distracted he went after me while I wasn't paying attention. You dove in front of me and took a magma fist through your back." Luffy said summing it all up before he undid the vest he wore to show the burnt scar across his chest.
"You protected me but my mind snapped at seeing you die in my arms. I was…unresponsive…barely conscious even…everyone else protected me and got me to safety while moustache-ossan dealt with the marines. You, Moustache-ossan, and I don't even know how many others all died that day Ace." Luffy said staring his brother straight in the eye and making Ace pale at the scar on his brothers rubber body while Amande frowned and tilted her own hat downward a bit to cover her eyes.
"But I'm not letting it happen again. I want you to give me the Den Den Mushi number for moustache-ossan and then after I free Alabasta from ol' Sandy I'm going to give him a call. If he gives me permission I'm going to kill Blackbeard the minute I see him, if he doesn't but Blackbeard attacks me first…I'm going to kill him then." Luffy said his voice dead serious and earning nods from Brulee and Chopper both.
"If somehow I fail to kill him before you get to him, if you're going to go after him again that is, just remember he ate a logia fruit that cancels out other peoples powers. The dark dark fruit, leaves his body vulnerable but it cancels your fire and my rubber and everyone elses devil fruit powers." Luffy advised his brother who nodded seriously at that although he pulled Amande just the slightest bit closer, one hand resting protectively over her belly.
"Good now that that's all settled…" Here Luffy grinned as he ran to the doorway.
His resulting shout had his brother and Brulee sighing, glad that he was back to normal.
"Sanji! Put out that cigarette around our guest! I'm hungry!"
