Ok, so the babies were finally born. Let's see how the mermen each react to the new additions to their crew.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, but I do own my two characters and now, the babies.

"A baby girl, a baby girl? Why the hell did you give me a girl?" Arlong sat near the bed Nami was lying in, the new baby in a separete bed that was on the other side of her, she was fast asleep.

"It isn't my fault." Nami stated.

"You're the one who gave birth to it. I can't have a girl continue my legacy."

"You should have thought about that before you decided to get me pregnant. Why can't you just accept her? She has half of your blood." Nami's hand went to gently touch the soft baby's cheek.

"I'll accept her when she can prove herself to me." Arlong stood up and left the room. Nami just shook her head and continued to look down at her baby was glad that the baby looked like a human. But you could still see the traits of a mermen in her.

Since Nami was human, the baby wasn't born with fins for feet. But she did have webbed hands. And her baby also had some gills. 'I wonder if she'll get the same kind of sharp teeth.'

Her hair seemed to have the same wild and uncontrollable shape as her father's and it was just as long as his; the color of her hair was a combination of black and orange, orange at the very top of her head and as it went lower it turned to a shade of black.

Nami wanted so badly to see the color of her baby's eyes. She didn't know why but…she just needed to see if the eyes would have the same hidden anger and torment as Arlong's.

Gently, she picked the baby out of the small bed and held it to her bosom. Her eyes soften at the site of her own child. How could Arlong hate something that was just too beautiful? The baby started to stir in her sleep. Nami got so excited to look into the baby's eyes. She wondered how the baby would react to her.

The baby's eyes started to slowly open. Once fully opened, Nami gasped. She saw how the eyes were big and round; they were dark dark black but they held a hint of innocence in them. A sigh of relief was let out.

"No anger, torment, or emptiness. Even if there were, you'd still be perfect in my eyes baby." The baby girl looked up at her mother and…she smiled. Nami felt as if she was getting ready to cry. "Hi my baby girl, I'm your mommy." Nami wondered if the baby could understand her. With the way the baby was waving it's arms around and reaching up for Nami's face, it probably could.

"I can't keep calling you 'baby' forever. What to name you?" Nami's mind began to wonder. There was no way Arlong would actually be a part of naming the baby so it was all up to her.

"Mariko." She whispered to herself. That name sounded perfect to her. For one, it reminded her sligtly of her sister she had to leave behind, Nojiko. And if she remembered correctly, the name meant 'circle'. She wasn't sure how the meaning applied, it could have applied many different ways. But to her, it reminded her of how she felt. When she first found out she was pregnant, she was slightly excited, even if she did refuse to show it. But as time went on, she had begun to hate the baby; she wanted it to die. Now, she loves it even more. So she just did a complete 360.

"That's your name, Mariko. What do you think?" The baby made little gurgling noises. "I'll take that as a yes." She giggled.

Kuroobi had gone into the room Rae was in, to see if she was doing ok after a very painful birth. The baby in his arms was fast asleep. He walked into the room, being as quiet as possible, just in case Rae was asleep. She wasn't.

"Hey Kuroobi, what took you so long?"

"Actually miss me?"

"No, but I did miss the baby." She held her hands out, indicating to Kuroobi that she wanted him to give her the baby. He did so. "She's so adorable."

"Human." Kuroobi said.

"So what if she looks more human? All of the mermaids out here look human, if it weren't for the fins they have."

"I didn't say there was anything wrong. I'm just saying it. She does have my my skin color." That was baby did have the grayish skin color like Kuroobi. Rae looked down at the now awake baby. The baby seemed to be more cheerful than any other she had seen. It was moving around like crazy, trying to decide who it wanted to be held by. Finally, she reached her arms out to her father, Kuroobi. He was a little shocked at this.

"Hey, don't keep your daughter waiting. Hold her." Kuroobi took a seat next to the bed and held his hands out for the baby.

"She isn't scared of me. That's a little bit of a shocker." Kuroobi looked into the eyes of the baby and realized that they looked just like her mother. A beautiful color of blue. The hair was long, straight black. And very soft.

"Hey look, webbed feet."

"And webbed hands." Rae grabbed onto a hand of the baby and kissed it gently, making the baby giggle. "Where are her gills? I'd figure she'd have gills."

"I guess that part of my DNA just didn't get into her." Rae was a little relieved at this.

"I just remembered. We have to name her."

"You're actually really going to let me help you. You must really be learning how to love me."

"Nope. I still hate you with every being of my body. I just feel that our child needs to know that both of her parents love her, and I don't want her to know that her parents hate each other."

"Correction, I love you." Rae sighed and rolled her eyes. She continued to think of a name for the baby. "She's so hyper and happy and…Bliss."

"Bliss?"

"It means joy, cheer, intense happiness. It's perfect." Rae leaned over towards Kuroobi and the baby. "What do you think? Do you like that name? Bliss?" The baby just smiled up at her.

"I didn't even get a chance to think."

"Too slow."

"Wow, I didn't know there was such a strong sense of pain until today." Sun laid her head down on a pillow behind her, keeping an eye on the two sleeping bundles in Choo's arms.

"On a scale of one to ten?"

"One hundred." Choo chuckled at her.

"I can't really sit up right now. So what do they look like?"

"Well, our son has your hair. Very soft, his eyes are…I can't tell. He's asleep. He has gills right on his neck. Webbed hands and feet and is your skin color."

"Does he have your big lips that go ten inches in front of your face?"

"First off, my lips only go five inches in front of my face. And second, yes he does."

"Great, now the only reason why my son will ever get pursude by women is because they will want to kiss his lips."

"What's so bad about that?"

"Shut up. Now what does our daughter look like?"

"She has my blond hair. Her skin color is a light shade of blue, like mine. Her lips are long but they have that defenite shape. No gills, webbed hands and feet also. Eyes remain a mystery."

"Not for long. They'll wake up when they're hungry."

"Which reminds me." He got closer to her and bent down till his lips were so close to hers. "I'm hungry for some lovin."

"You ain't gonna find it here. Now get away from me, I'm tired." It was at that moment that one of the babies started to cry outloud.

"You woke up the baby."

"I did not. You did." Sun grabbed onto her little girl and rocked her gentle. The baby become calm once again and looked up at her mother. "She has your eyes. Black." She looked down at the now calm baby.

"Siria." She looked back up at Choo.

"Huh?" She questioned him.

"Siria, it means 'sun-bright, glowing.' I want to name her that."

"Ok sure, Sounds very pretty. Now what to name my baby boy?" The baby in Choo's arms opened it's eyes and looked up at his father. His eyes had the curious look in them He reached his hands up to his father's lips. With his small hand, he grabbed onto his father's lips and gave it a good squeeze. "Now that's funny." Sun started to crack up from the strange look Choo was giving.

"Hey, they're red. And this hurts." He stated blankly. He went to unclasp the little hand from his lips and held it in his own hand. The baby boy continued to look up at his father, then at his mother, then back at his father. It didn't take him long to finally figure it out. He let out a little squeal of excitement.

"Aw, he's so cute. Gimme gimme." Sun moved Siria over to her right arm so that she could hold her boy in her left arm. Choo carefully placed the baby in that arm.

"Cute. Strong. It's gonna be hard to think of a name for him."

"I told you we should have picked out names earlier."

"You said nothing of the sort."

"I still blame you."

"Fine, how about Giles?"

"NO, that means 'small goat'. My son is not a goat."

"But he is small."

"No."

"Gus?"

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"If I wasn't holding these two, I would slap you silly."

"Geez, stubborn woman. Why do I love you again?" Choo looked from her eyes to her lips to her neck to her…well, you can figure out what's lower than her neck. "Oh yeah, you're hot."

"Stop imagining me and keep thinking."

"I got it. For sure, I know you'll like this one."

"What is it?"

"Kenn, it means 'bright water'. What do you think?" Sun took a while to think, she looked down at the baby in her arms. He was so different in comparison to his sister. If his sister's name had something to do with fire, then his name with water would be perfect. "I like it. What about you? Do you like Kenn?" The little Baby boy grabbed onto the clothes that covered his mother's chest and slightly pulled on it. "I'm gonna take that as a yes. And that you're hungry. Choo, leave."

"You got nothing to hide from me, There isn't anything on your body that I havn't seen."

"Must you remind me?"

A MONTH LATER

Nami asked one of the many servants of the house to lay a blanket on the floor of the room. Once done, her and Mariko sat down on the blanket. She put the baby down gently on her stomach and let her crawl around a little.

"Hm." Nami looked up at Arlong, who had just walked into the room. He eyed her and the small baby crawling around. Small Mariko crawled towards the leg of her father, who just shook his head. He walked around the baby to go seat behind Nami. He pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Mariko continued to crawl around on the blanket, every once in a while she would crawl over to her mom and Nami would gently pick her up. The baby would look up at her with those innocent eyes which would case Nami to just smile down at her and kiss her forehead.

"Hello?" The little 'seemingly happy' moment was disrupted by Choo, Kuroobi, Sun, Rae, and the little babies arriving. Arlong released Nami, stood up to join his men, and waved a quick good-bye before all of them left the three girls and the babies.

"He still being a jerk towards Mariko?" Sun knelt down and placed both of her babies on the blanket.

"Yes, he barely even acknowledges her. The poor thing."

"Well, he was expecting a boy, so it might take him a while." Rae put down her own baby girl on the blanket. The three continued to watch how all the babies reacted towards each other. Mariko sat up as best as she could, Bliss sat across from her. Theirs hands went up to meet the other's, Kenn and Siria crawled towards the two. Mariko started to tip over slightly and she landed right on Kenn. Bliss turned towards Siria and was jumping up and down slightly from excitement with the new playmates.

"How cute." Nami giggled from the way the babies played. Sun watched her baby boy, who seemed to be smiling like crazy. 'Must be from being around just girls.'

"He's going to be a pervert, just like his father. You know that right?" Sun nodded towards her sister.

"Guys, You know we can never leave now, right?" Nami and Sun looked up at Rae, wanting to know more of what she meant.

"Yes we can. We just have to wait until the babies are older and…"

"And what? Run away? We can't. They'll hunt us down, and they might harm the children."

"Choo would never. He may have a killer's heart; but he won't harm that of his blood."

"I'm not worried about yours and my babies. I'm worried about already hates her enough, we don't know what he would do if we just run away like that. Guys, face it. We might as well just learn to just love them." Nami grabbed onto Mariko. She craddled the baby so tenderly in her arms.

"I love her so much. Now that I can actually hold her in my arms for real, I feel such a strong motherly love." Little Mariko looked up at her mother and gave her a small, lovely smile. "I give. I admit it, I give up."

Sun laid down on her stomach, landing in-between her twins. Kenn crawled right up to her, laying right on her arm. Siria went and climbed onto her back, settling on her stomach. "I do too."

"Me three." Rae picked up Bliss, settling her on her lap and played patty-cake with their hands.

"For their future." The three of them said in unison.

I made it sound like it was the end. NO WAY. I'm having too much fun writing this. I will be very busy for the next few weeks, so this may be my last update for a while. Stupid school work and Dual Credit.

Although, it wasn't fun trying to find names for the babies. But I think I picked out just the right ones. what do you all think? Please read and review. Please???
