UGH! You would NOT believe the week I've had! I got so horribly sick! I had hardly any sleep for a week and then that weekend I was around kids 5 and under, and obviously one of them must have been sick cuz the next day I had to leave work early and go home due to my temp being 103. I was puking, had strep throat, couldn't stand cuz my legs would give out, had major vertigo, and was passing out into sleep constantly. Now my throat is super raw from all of that and I still have to study for my finals…. But! Only 3 weeks left until summer vacay! That means more story updates! Yay!
I thank you guys who are sticking by me! I really am sorry! Maybe in the future once everything has calmed down I will take them up again, but until I finish these requests, finish up my other stories, and at least get a bit into my new ones, I just can't do it. I thank everyone who's given me encouragement, I will try my hardest to get these done so you won't have to wait long before I take them.
Again, I am NOT taking requests. Just to make things clear cuz I'll still get PM's on requests. The one I took randomly from my PM was just a fluke because I really liked her idea. I'm happy to answer any PM's, but if it is a request, I will not do it, and I probably won't answer other than "I cannot take this". I hope all of you enjoy the stories though and have a great day!
This request is from III for a LawXRobin Lemon! I hope I got your idea conveyed pretty well in the story! I tried to work with your idea and do a more modest Robin in this one! I'm sorry she came off as otherwise in some stories, but some that's how they wanted her. So please enjoy and read to your hearts content.
The next story is a sequel to Tangerines! The shanksXNami pairing. I have actually gotten a lot of messages on how many people were waiting for this! XD So you won't have to wait much longer! The request was made by Mugi-Wara-Crew to begin with! I'll try to work fast!
27 left after this! In all honesty, I probably will take requests again in the future because I want to reach 100 chapters! Anywho! Don't let the no requests stop you from PMing me! I love to hear from all of you and to actually talk and get to know my readers and what they like! I'm friendly and don't bite! Promise! XP
"Dr. Trafalgar, you have a patient who is waiting to see you." A nurse said, cracking his door so he would hear her.
Law cracked his eyes open at her voice and let out a groan. He took his hat off from his eyes and placed it on his table. He then took the electronic cigarette from his mouth and turned it off, setting it down by his hat. A simple break was all he asked for from time to time…..but all the nurses knew his breaks would be a day long one.
"Tra-guy!"
Law tensed at the voice he knew all too well. A young highschooler bombed past his door and jumped towards Law, wrapping his arms around his neck and jerking the doctor almost out of his chair. Law barely grabbed onto the table in front of him, keeping him in his moving chair. He turned a glare over to the boy who was smiling at him with a smile that was breaking his face, feigning innocence.
"Luffy," Law sighed, putting a hand on the boys head and pushing him off so he could right himself once more. "How many times have I told you not to just barge in?!"
"But I'm sick!" Luffy pouted, but a smile broke onto his face again and a small laugh came out.
Law stood up from his chair, a dark cloud circling around him as he pulled over a scalpel and acted like he was going to come after Luffy with it. The boy made a horrified face and quickly jumped up from the ground, racing away from the murderous doctor who was not in the mood for a child's game. The door opened quietly and a tall woman with black hair and blue eyes stood in the door way, looking down at a clipboard that held information. Luffy spotted the woman and smiled, racing towards her before Law could stop him.
"Robin!" Luffy shouted, jumping up and latching onto Robin in a big hug.
Robin looked down at Luffy who was using her as a shield against Law. She glanced up at her partner and smiled, patting Luffy on the head. "You shouldn't provoke him like that Luffy. He is in charge of your health whenever you do something reckless and get hurt."
Luffy genuinely pouted this time as he sighed and plopped down into a chair.
"Explain to me again why he can't become your patient?" Law asked, slapping a cold bandage onto Luffy's forehead. The kid held his throbbing forehead with pain etched on his face, but the cooling instantly took effect and made him sigh in relief and slump in relaxation.
Robin patted Luffy's head and let out a small chuckle. She looked at Law with a 'you-know-why' kind of look. "I'm an OB/GYN. He wouldn't fit into that category since he's not a female."
"I'll trade you jobs." Law said with a smirk, before twitching an eyebrow at Robin teasingly.
She shook her head with a giggle and walked over to him. Her hand placed on his shoulder as she put the clipboard in her hand behind her and leaned forward, placing her face in front of Law's. "I can't let you do that."
Law stared directly at her, a spark in his eye. "And why's that?"
"I can't have you looking at other females like that anymore." She said with a smile. Robin glanced over at Luffy who was watching them intensely from his seat, hanging onto the front as he leaned forward with an intrigued smile on his face. She put up the clipboard from her back and placed it between Luffy's sight and them. She closed the distance between the two of them, letting their lips hit against one another. The kiss was short, but sweet, and a small sound escaped their lips as they pulled apart. "You're only allowed to look at me."
The clipboard dropped and she straightened herself back up, looking at Luffy with an innocent smile as he grumbled in disappointment. She set the clipboard down on Law's desk and signed off on the last paper before releasing the information to him. She walked towards the door and opened it, nearly walking out before stopping and looking back at Law for the last time.
"Besides, you're the one who chose pediatrics. That includes all kids up to 18. So you get to have him as a patient." She stated, flashing a 'be-nice-to-him' look towards Law before pasting the smile back on her face and waving to Luffy.
It was kind of a joke between them. He was always saying he wanted to switch, implying he wanted to see the girls, and Robin always told him no because he could only look at her that way. Though they hadn't even had sex yet. It sounded odd for the two of them at their age, but though they had been in a relationship for 3 months, they still haven't done it. Robin wasn't ready for any of that yet, and Law asked one time why and instantly regretted it. Obviously a man in her past hurt her pretty bad when he left, and she was scared that she'd get to close to him and he'd leave too. So, he wasn't going to argue against it. He was going to wait until she trusted him enough to do it.
"Oi! Luffy! We know you're in there!" A female voice called out, rapping on the door to Law's office. An orange haired girl peeked her head in and looked at Law with an apologetic face, and then over to Luffy with and exasperated, irritated one. "You can't skip out on doing homework! Finals are coming up soon and you need to study or you'll fail this grade!"
"No!" Luffy shouted as Nami grabbed the back of his uniform and dragged him out of the clinic.
Law shook his head, leaning back once more and placing the hat on his head and ecigarrette back into his mouth. He tilted backwards and let out a puff of steam from the cigarette, going right back into his break from before. "The same thing, everyday."
"Tra-guy!"
Law decided it was no use fighting against the hyperactive boy today, instead he figured he'd try a different route. He leaned forward and placed his finger tips together, looking at Luffy with a plan in his head. "Why don't you bring your study group here? That way if there's something all of you don't know, I can help."
Luffy jumped in joy as he clicked his cellphone out and began calling all of them. Soon they were all there camped out in his office once his last patient left. He had to wait for Robin anyway, so he would just lay back on the bed in his office…but he didn't know the trouble he put himself in.
"Tra-guy! We need help!" Luffy shouted, waking him up.
"Already?"
It was the first question and they were already having trouble…what did he get himself into? Question after question they were puzzled about things, and some of the questions didn't even relate to what they were supposed to be working on, leaving him exhausted. The door swung open and Robin let out a surprised 'oh' at the guests there. Law quickly shuffled over and grabbed her wrist, putting her hand in the air so he could high five it.
"Tag, you're it." He said in a groan. "I need a cigarette break." He slowly slinked out towards the outside where he could smoke, spotting a few female nurses bunched around back there. He walked over to his car so the smoke of his cigarette wouldn't waft into them.
"Ne, ne, didn't you hear? Dr. Robin is pregnant!"
Law nearly choked on his cigarette as the sentence hit his ear. He recovered himself quickly and leaned against the car acting like it was none of his business, but he couldn't stop his ears from keeping a keen interest on them.
"No way!"
"How do you know?"
The woman who first said it was a short woman with long brown hair and bright green eyes. If Law remembered correctly, her name was Layla. She was a nice woman who got along with everyone; patients and coworkers alike. It was odd seeing her passing around such gossip, but, what else were they going to do in their time?
"I heard Dr. Robin having conversation the other day with one of her clients husbands. Next thing you know she hugging on him and they kissed!" Layla said, making the other two nurses gasp in shock. "And then she told him that she was pregnant!"
"No way!"
"I thought her and Dr. Law were…..!"
"SHHHHH!"
The second nurse, clamped a hand over the thirds, spotting Law over by his car, but he was staring up at the sky, acting like he could hear them.
"What if he hears you?"
"So you mean Dr. Robin is cheating on him?"
Layla nodded her head with a saddened expression. "He's a married man at that! If she's willing to sleep with him, there's no telling how many others there are. And they can't tell their wives because they're already pregnant with their kids!"
Law pushed off his car, making the nurses hush quickly. He could feel their beady eyes on him as he threw his cigarette butt to the ground and dug it in with his heel, stamping out the ember. He walked over to the door leading back into the clinic, but not even the sound of crunching rock beneath his feet could be heard in his ears. Law walked back into his office, and a shout of joy was heard, snapping him back to reality.
"I have a little more paperwork to do. Can you wait longer?" Robin asked, as she controlled the shouting Luffy to calm down. She kissed Law on the cheek, but Law jerked away, the doubt in his mind that she was still his. What if it was all a ploy? A look of hurt went over Robin's face, but quickly she plastered on a smile and walked out.
"What's wrong? Trouble in paradise?" Nami asked, spotting Law witting with a defeated kind of look on his face. She wasn't like the rest of their group, if anything she was like the leader, keeping them under control. The others were shouting and goofing off in the background, as if it were a party.
Law sat up a bit and looked at Nami, seeing in her eyes that he couldn't play this one off with a lie of 'he's fine'. "Just something stupid."
"Is this about Robin not sleeping with you?"
Law nearly fell out of his chair in surprise. "How do you…."
Nami smiled at him. "Robin and me talk a lot. She's explain to me that you two haven't done that in your relationship."
"Why are you and here so close?" Law asked, finding it uncommon that a doctor would that friendly with one of the clinics patients; especially since it wasn't one of her own.
Nami dropped her smile to an embarrassed one as she rubbed the back of her head and let out a small chuckle. She put her hand on her stomach and patted, showing Law the answer.
"You mean you're…." He said, eyes wide as he looked at the young girl, finding it shocking someone so young would be pregnant. "Who…?" He saw her glance over at Luffy quickly before looking back at Law and smiling. "Wow…." He said, completely flabbergasted by the news. So the immature kid had a girlfriend and a serious relationship. Who knew? "So you know about her being pregnant?"
Nami seemed taken aback now as she had to catch herself from tilting backwards. She blinked rapidly a few times, staring at him in disbelief. "Pregnant?! But I thought she said you two hadn't slept with each other!"
The room went silent as Nami's shout cut through everyone. Law smacked himself in the face, making him even more irritated and embarrassed that everyone now seems to know about his predicament.
"It's getting late." He stated, standing up and opening his door. "You guys should go home and sleep."
One by one they gathered their things and began to walk out, but just as Luffy was ushering Nami out, she stopped. Instead she ushered him on, arguing against his protest and pointing for him to walk away. She turned to face Law and looked at him directly.
"Listen, I don't know what's going on. But I know Robin's been through enough pain from her previous relationship. Before you jump to any conclusions, you should ask her." Nami said, looking at him seriously and giving a small bow before walking out. She grabbed Luffy's hand and twined her fingers through, letting him pull her close before they began to walk off.
Last night had been rough. The tension between Law and Robin was thick, and when he dropped her off at her apartment, all she did was give a small smile towards him and whispered bye. It was obvious that both of them were going through an internal battle. But was it over the same thing?
Law could hardly sleep last night, and dark bags were quickly surrounding his eyes, leaving him weak and tired. A small knock on the door made him sit up and look. Layla peeked in with an apologetic look, her small stature making her look almost childlike.
"Um, Dr. Law?" She asked, stepping into the office and shutting the door behind her.
"What is it?" He asked, not sure what she was going to do.
"I'm sorry that you had to hear that yesterday. I forgot you were over there." Layla said, her eyes looking directly at him. He found that odd. She said she forgot he was there, but the other two didn't even know he was there, so she saw him walk out. And the way she was acting wasn't that of someone who was apologetic, but someone who was proud.
He leaned back in his chair and linked his arms behind his head. Something wasn't adding up about all of this. A small hand placed itself on his leg, making him tilt his eyes down to look. Slowly Layla was creeping onto his lap, placing her knee between his legs as leverage and her hands grasped the back of his chair, trapping him in front of her.
"Y'know, it isn't fair that she did that to you. I don't see how someone could cheat on you. I really don't see how someone wouldn't sleep with you." She said, her face nearing his closer and closer. "I've always liked you Dr. Law. I don't think you deserve Dr. Robin. I'd be much better."
"So that's it." He breathed, grabbing one of her wrist and pushing it from him.
It knocked Layla off balance from him and made her trip, nearly causing her to crash to the floor. Law kept her up though, letting her go once he finally stood. He looked down at her in irritation, making her look at him in shock. She walked backwards, but stumbled over her own feet and crashed into the floor, knocking over his container of candies and making a loud noise.
"Whats….!"
Soon the other nurses were there with a few patients who were waiting for their appointment. Robin quickly came up behind the group, spotting Law standing there and Layla on the floor. He didn't harm her did he? No! He wouldn't do that!
"I was wondering why it sounded odd." Law said, puffing out a cloud of steam once more. "It was you spreading an untrue rumor to the other nurses, hoping it would get passed around. You knew I was outside by my car smoking and you took the opportunity to spout something out." He took a step towards her, making her clamber back up and shake her head in argument. "I don't even know how you knew about our situation between our sex life, but you used it against us."
"No! I didn't!" Layla argued futilely. The attention from the nurses and patients all staring at her was making her nervous, and she was growing more and more embarrassed at being found out.
"Law…" Robin said, pushing past all the people in the doorway and placing a hand on his arm. She stopped him from nearing Layla anymore and made his eyes soften.
His arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into a kiss. This kiss wasn't a small and quick one like normal; it was heated, and though it only lasted a few seconds, it felt like time stopped and they were there forever. He pulled back and looked at the glazed look in Robin's eyes. He picked up his other hand and ran his thumb along her bottom lip, clearing the small bit of saliva that stuck. Finally he looked back towards Layla with a narrowed glare.
"Spreading a useless rumor of Robin sleeping with her clients husbands? That's low, even for you." This caught Robin's attention and made her look at Law in exasperation. "And saying she was pregnant with one of their kids? That was adding just another level because of our situation."
Robin panicked. Was that why Law jerked from her? Did he believe that rumor? Was he going to leave her? She could let him go! She didn't want him to leave! She grabbed his white coat desperately and shook her head. "But I'm not….!"
Law put a finger to her lips and smiled, showing everything was fine. "I know." He looked at Layla and sighed. "Robin's not pregnant. The agreement was based off of both our decisions that we wouldn't have sex until both of us are ready. I know Robin well enough that she wouldn't just sleep with another man, and especially not with one of her clients husbands. She cares for them too much!"
Layla grew more and more embarrassed with every accusation he pushed on her, and her anger flared from her gut, burning hotter and hotter. Finally she wasn't able to control it with just clenching her fists by her sides.
"Fine! I lied!" She shouted, raising her hands into the air and glaring at Law. "But that woman isn't good enough for you! I'm the one who's always helping you! I'm the one who was in this clinic with you from the very start! Yet when she joined the clinic you went to her! It's not fair! I'm the one you should be with, not her! You don't even hardly remember my name!"
Her anger had fried her brain enough she couldn't contain herself from blurting it all out. She stood there out of breath and angry, and then it hit her, her whole confession on her lies and why she did it. Her face went up in a puff of smoke as she glanced over at the patients and nurses whispering to one another. She wanted to cry.
A large hand placed itself on her head, petting her hair to calm her down. "You got it all out?" She knew that voice all too well. Law stood there, comforting her gently. His angered look gone now. "You're right. I didn't ever remember your name. All I know is that you were an excellent worker who got her job done quickly and efficiently, and was kind to everyone." He shrugged his shoulders, going with the truth that she spouted. "But, I can't stop how I feel for Robin. You're right that she caught my eye. I couldn't stop myself from going after her. Just because we haven't slept with one another doesn't mean our relationship is bad. It means we have enough trust in one another that we'd wait." He glanced over at Robin who was blushing madly behind him. "I'm in love with Robin. I kept my job in pediatrics because I knew I'd be able to always be next to her." He turned his attention back to Layla. "I'm sorry I couldn't reciprocate your feelings, but I'm sure you'll find someone you can love like I do Robin."
How could she argue against that? Never has anyone seen law smile so brightly and big? She let out a deep breath and wiped at her eyes, making the tears go away. She breathed in and smiled, giving a small nod of her head.
"You're right. I'm sorry." She said simply, giving a deep bow in apology and walking out of the room quietly.
The other two nurses read the mood and quickly snapped out of it, shushing everyone and ushering them from the door so they could close it. The two doctors obviously needed to talk about something and have the room to themselves.
"That was….?" Robin asked, somewhat getting the picture.
"Supposedly you were pregnant with a clients baby." Law said, walking towards her.
"What?! But I would never!" Robin argued, but stopped as Law wrapped his arms around her waist and put his forehead against hers.
"Is that the only thing you got out of that?" Law asked, his gray eyes piercing into hers deeply.
That's right, he finally said he loved her. Not once, but twice. Robin's heart fluttered in glee and her face flushed again. Her had clutch the front of his shirt, pulling his body against hers.
"I love you too Dr. Law." She teased, pushing towards him and kissing his lips. "If we get the rest of our patients done, we could always close early and head home to do something." Robin said, a coy smile on her face.
Law chuckled, but a smile couldn't be torn from his face. "Let's get to work then!" Robin laughed and pulled back from him, ready to leave. But Law stopped her again. "Oh, by the way. When were you going to tell me the kid was going to be a dad?"
Robin's eyes widened and she giggled. "When I was going to tell you Nami's making me the godmother!" She said quickly before racing out of the room.
Law shook his head but still continued to smile. Seems they were going to have a lot on their plates in the future. But, it was worth it if she was by his side.
