Law awoke with Lacey snuggled up to his chest. He couldn't help but smile as he moved the purple girl's hair out of her face. Getting up careful not to wake his lover Law took some clothes and went off to have a bath. Just about to get in the bath there was a knock on the door Law decided to answer it and was greeted by a sleepy Lacey who was still wearing his t-shirt and holding a towel. Law just smiled and ushered her in. The two bathed Lacey tracing his many tattoos with soap and washing his hair for him. Law helped Lacey wash her back and hair before the two climbed in the bath. Lacey rested her head on his shoulder. "I missed you." Lacey said looking up at the captain. Law smiled as he moved the wet strands of hair from her face and lifted her chin and kissed her softly on the lips as he pulled away he whispered on her lips "I missed you too." The two talked about what had happened during their time apart. "You never told me you had a brother." Law stated.

"You never asked" Lacey replied

"You never even told me your second name, always changed the subject"

"I wanted to be known for me, not for who my family is Law you understand right?"

"I guess that makes sense. But you can tell me anything you know."

"I Know" Lacey said smiling as she hugged him from the side "We should properly go see everyone"

"Yeah you're right."

Law and Lacey both dried themselves and got dressed and joined the rest of both crews on the island for breakfast. Sanji couldn't help but stare at Lacey in her clothes which held Laws mark he thought she was beautiful and couldn't believe she was with someone as cold as law, especially as her personality is like Luffy's. Her hair was a light purple colour and looked a lot like Luffy's just slightly longer with the underneath of her being long and reaching her waist. Her left arm was covered in tattoos of several different flowers. Luffy was the first to comment on her outfit saying something about all the crew wearing the same thing.

"We head off tomorrow" Law stated looking from him crew to the straw hat crew. Lacey looked at him slightly upset that he had planned this without telling her. She sat down to have breakfast while Luffy began taking people's food and stuffing his face Lacey just laughed at her brother antics as she ate. "Remember when gramps told us we have to eat lots and we ate all the food and gramps and Ace got none." Luffy laughed as Lacey started remembering about the times when they were young and Garp telling them they had to eat a lot whenever they could as they don't know when their next meal would be while Garp and Ace argued Luffy and Lacey ate all the food leaving none for Ace and Garp.

Lacey sometimes regrets not leaving around the same time as Luffy if she had she may have seen ace again. 'Ace I'm sorry' Lacey thought. All these memories of Ace and the feeling that she could have helped or even seen him again hurt her why didn't she leave when Luffy did, Luffy even offered to take her with him. Lacey suddenly didn't have much of an appetite and her eyes started watering Lacey excused herself and wondered into the forest. Tears fell from her eyes. She hadn't cried for Ace even after she heard he had died she didn't shed a single tear. Maybe she was trying to be brave and put on a brave face for Dadan or it had been so long she was used to being away from him. The truth was it hadn't hit her that she had lost her older brother until she told Luffy she left after hearing about his death. She hadn't talked or thought about it until then she was saving herself for being hurt. Tears continued to stream down the young girls face as she thought about her brother and the times they spent together and how he died protecting Luffy. At least she still had Luffy she still had people who loved her but Ace's death was finally hitting her like a ton of bricks. She sat up against a tree while the tears poured from her eyes. She heard footsteps and tried to wipe her tears away.

"Lacey?" Law asked looking concerned at his lover "Are you ok?" Law kneeled in front of the girl lifting her chin up so he could see her face.

"I'm fine" Lacey said trying to smile but more tears fell from her eyes. Law had never seen her cry he wrapped his arms around her letting her head fall against his shoulder as he rubbed her back. He just let her cry in his arm for several minutes before she pulled away wiping the tears away. She smiled slightly at Law before kissing him on the cheek.

"Thank you" Lacey said as she brushed her hand against his face

"What's wrong?" Law asked as he looked at her

"Ace...Ace is dead" Lacey said quietly as she began to cry uncontrollably she had never said out loud that he was dead before. 'He died years ago why is she still this upset? She never grieved did she, she put the fact he died to the back of her mind and forgot about it Luffy must have sparked a memory that made her remember Ace and the fact he died, she's grieving as if he just died because to her he has just died.' Law thought as he pulled Lacey closer to him for another hug.

Law sat holding his crying lover for what seemed like hours but was really twenty minutes. She pulled away kissing his cheek as she did so. "It's ok Lacey." Law said wiping her tears with his finger.

"I'm sorry" Lacey whispered

"Don't be. Let yourself grieve. Just remember I'll always be here for you, and you have Luffy. Maybe talking to Luffy will help?"

"Maybe"

"I'll get him" Law said as he hugged her one last time before wondering off to go and get Luffy. It wasn't long before Luffy came running through the woods way in front of Law who was trying to show him where his sister was.

"Lacey!" Luffy yelled as he hugged his crying sister "What's wrong?" Law left the two siblings to talk.

Lacey and Luffy talked about Ace and memories they all had together it was painful for both but Lacey found it helped and Luffy found it nice to talk about his brother, he hadn't spoken about him since his death. The two talked for hours and Lacey finally stopped crying both their stomachs started to rumble. They both returned to the shore and were given food that Sanji had saved for them both since they had missed lunch and Law insisted on not disturbing them. After eating Lacey stood with Law, Law looked down at her red puffy eyed lover and smiled glad she was feeling better and had stopped crying.

"I'm ok. Thanks for getting Luffy" Lacey smiled as she tiptoed and kissed her lover softly on the lips. Law put his hands on her hips and brought her body closer to him.

"I'm glad you're ok" Law said brushing her hair out of her face "I don't like seeing you upset, I love you and I love when you're happy"

"You love me?"
