Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, but I do own Sun and Rae. And now I own the babies!

ABOUT 8 MONTHS LATER

"Arlong, for once, please spend some time with Mariko." Arlong looked up at Nami, his soon-to-be wife. In front of her, was his 8 month old baby, Mariko. The three of them were sitting by the ocean behind their big mansion like house. Little Mariko was sitting on Nami's lap, her hands being held by her mom's, and she was bouncing up and down.

"No." Arlong answered plainly. He continued to stare at the giggling bouncing baby on Nami's lap, giving her his most evil glares.

"Don't glare at her like that." Nami released one of her baby's hands. She then curcled her hand into a tight fist and punched Arlong right on his arm.

"Ow." 'When did she become so strong?'

"You're such a jerk. Mariko hasn't done anything wrong at all and you still don't accept her. How can you be mean to this little beauty?" Nami looked down at her daughter, giggling when she saw that Mariko was sucking on her tiny little fist.

"She's nothing but annoying."

"I bet if I had giving you a boy, you wouldn't be saying that." Arlong growled and stood up in a hurry. He walked away from the two girls, leaving behind a very angry Nami.

"You're father. Seriously!" Nami tugged on her daughter's hand, making her release it from her mouth. The only thing that has changed on Mariko for those past 8 months is that her hair had gotten a little longer. In order to keep it from being that big of a trouble, Nami had to take her to get it cut. That had been a big challenge.

"You're so adorable." Mariko looked up at her mom and reached for her mother's hair. She grabbed onto a small strand and pulled, very hard.

"Ow, but you have your father's strength. Don't pull my hair." Mariko released her mother's hair.

"M..m..ma…"

"Are you trying to say something? What is it baby?" Nami got excited, for if Mariko was to talk it would be her very first words. Unless you consider those little gurgling noises words.

"Ma..Mama. Mama." The baby bounced even higher on Nami's lap. "Mama, mama, mama."

"Yes, yes, I'm your mama. Mariko, those are your first words. Oh oh oh, I got to go tell your aunts." Over time, Nami considered herself to be an actual sister of Sun and Rae. And they considered it too. So now, they call Nami their sister and Mariko their niece.

"First word, mama. Oh my goodness. Mariko, I'm so proud of you." Nami stood up from her position, holding Mariko closely to her chest.

"Why are you two always over at my house?" Choo and Kuroobi were sitting on the couch in Choo's living room. Rae and Kuroobi were visiting, as you can tell.

"Because Rae always wants to be with her sister. And what she wants, she'll get. Or else I own't get what I want." Choo and Kuroobi nodded as they watched Sun and Rae playing with their babies.

"Kenn is so protective of the girls."

"He is. That's one of the traits he got from his father. You know how Mermen are very supportive and protective of their certain friends."

"True. They are." The two baby girls, Siria and Bliss, were both trying to sit up on their own. But due to a lack of balance, they would sometimes fall over. Kenn, on the other hand, wouldn't let it happen. He was crawling around in a constant circle; he would stop behind them when they would start to fall, so they always fell right on top of him.

The three children had grown quite a little, Kenn was the biggest one of them now. His hair had gotten a little longer, but for some strange reason would spike up. His lips stayed the same length, giving him that full mermen strange look. His skin color seemed to have gotten just a little darker, surpassing his mother's color. Even his red eyes challenged hers.

Siria's blond hair was already past her ears, never losing the shine that it naturally held. Her lips had shrunk a little, not in size but in length. Her eyes had grown a little bigger, giving her that totally innocent school girl baby look. Her skin still remained that certain blue color.

Bliss, was the only one who's appearance didn't change in the least bit. She was still the same way as the day she was born.

"Honey, come over here." Sun looked behind her to see Choo was holding his arms wide open, indicating that he wanted her to come sit on his lap. Kenn and Siria looked up at their parents, both of them clapping their hands with excitement. Sun sighed as she got up from her position on the floor and walked over to Choo.

"I really really loath you." She turned around and sat on Choo's lap, letting him wrap his arms around her waist. She sighed as Choo's hands began to roam over the front part of her body.

"I love you too." The whole happy/hate moment was interrupting by an excited Nami and an angry Arlong. "Hello sir." Choo and Kuroobi immediately greeted their captain.

"Let's go." Was all that Arlong said before turning and leaving the room. Reluctantly, Choo let go of Sun, letting her stand from his lap. Him and Kuroobi went over to the spot where the babies were.

"Bye kids." Choo kneeled down really quick and patted both of his children on their heads.

"Laters." Kuroobi did the same thing to his daughter, Bliss. The three mermen soon left the house, letting the three girls breath a sigh of relief.

"I thought they'd never leave." Sun went back to the circle, being careful to not sit down on her moving children. Siria immediately crawled over to her mom and reached her hands up to her. Sun grabbed onto her daugher and settled her right on the center of her lap.

"Guys guys, guess what, Mariko said her first word."

"Really?!" Sun and Rae both exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, Honey, who am i?" The small baby in Nami's arm crawled onto the floor and towards Bliss. She then sat up on her own and pointed at her mom.

"Mama." She smiled and giggled, causing Sun and Rae to squeal.

"How cute. That's so awesome."

"Way to go, sweetie." Mariko soon lost her balance while sitting and started falling back. Quickly, Kenn crawled over to her, stopping when he was right behind her. Mariko fell right on top of him. Bliss and Siria now thought they were all playing, so Siria left her mom's lap and Bliss jumped right on top of Mariko. Siria jumped on the very top, making it hard for Kenn to start moving.

"Nice of you to join us today, boys." Jimbei stood in front of a group of new recruits for his crew. Arlong, Choo, and Kuroobi went to stand right next to him. Hachi was busy passing around a few usable training weapons.

"Hello, weaklings, I am Jimbei."

"All hail Jimbei." The new recruits put their fists to the place where their heart was located, showing their loyalty.

"Newbies, I am Arlong, and these are my men: Choo, Kuroobi, and Hachi."

"All hail Arlong and his crew."

"So, you worthless bunch, you want to become an actual pirate on one of the most famous and feared crews in all the Grand Line." Jimbei walked side to side in front of the new recruits.

"Sir yes sir."

"Do any of you know what it takes to even be considered to be a recruit?"

"Sir no sir." Jimbei turned towards Arlong, nodding his head. Arlong walked forward to and would zigzag in-between every single recruit. He would stopped in front of them and either list a good or bad quality.

"Too small of muscles. Weakling."

"Good eye contant. Makes good use in battle."

"You are struggling to hold up a puny sword. Weakling."

"You…You…What are you doing here? You look way too young to even be considering an army duty." Jimbei shook his head. The boy that Arlong had stopped in front of was the youngest out of all the recruits. Truthfully, he was the same age as Arlong was when he first joined a pirate crew. Extremely young.

"Oh.." Jimbei went to stand behind Arlong. "Recuits, in back of us are some of the greatest fighters you will ever meet. Those who have practiced and/or mastered Mermen Karate, go with Kuroobi. Those who are skilled in swordsmanship, go with Hachi. And those who don't know what the heck they fight as, go with Choo. Dismiss."

"What do you want me to do?" Arlong asked Jimbei.

"You're coming with me. We need to have a big talk." Jimbei and Arlong moved a little further from all the people.

"What do you want?"

"Did you and Nami get in a fight this morning?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Well, maybe because everytime you and her get in a fight over your daughter…" Arlong growled. He hated it when everyone would refer to Mariko as his daughter. Frankly, he didn't want to be reminded. "Sorry, over Mariko, you come here all angry and get way off subject."

"Ok, fine, I did. She wants me to spend more time with Mariko, but I can't. She's just too..I can't even find the word for it."

"Does this have to do with your past?"

"Don't mention my past. Just leave me alone." Arlong brushed past Jimbei,leaving the whole group ordeal thing. Jimbei sighed to himself. Arlong's past wasn't exactly a pretty one. Arlong's own parents never showed him the love or support needed for when he would have children. His father judged him based off his strength and agility in battle.

' Maybe it's time that I talk to Nami about the little matter.'

"So then Kenn got so upset that he picked up a big spoonful of his food and threw it right at Choo's face." Rae and Nami quietly laughed, being sure not to wake up the children, who were sleeping on a blanket on the floor together. Siria and Kenn were holding hands; Bliss was sucking on her thumb; and Mariko was sucking on her whole fist.

"You should have seen his face. Siria, Kenn, and I were laughing so hard that all three of us nearly fell out of our chairs."

"You're lucky." Nami cut in. "You both. Kuroobi and Choo seem to try hard to be a part of their children's lives. But Arlong…he won't even spare a glance at her. And when he does, it's a horrible glare."

"You really care for your daughter, don't you?"

"I never had a father. I, at least, wanted my children to have a father who would love them. Now that I finally get a child, her father ends up being a lustful jerk."

"But at least she has a loving mother, loving aunts, and loving cousins. Let's face it, Mariko has enough love from all of us, she doesn't need Arlong." They were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door, Sun stood up to go answer. When she came back, she was followed by Jimbei. He looked down at the childre, realizing this was the first time he had seen them in a while. Carefully, he stepped over them and headed for an available chair that was right next to them.

"What brings you here?"

"Arlong."

"What did he do now?"

"It's more along the lines of what has been bothering him." Sun and Rae took a quick look at each other and then towards Nami. She grabbed onto both of their hands, showing them that she wanted them to stay.

"And?"

"When are you going to tell him about his son?"

"He doesn't have a son. Our son was dead right when he was born."

"Don't remind me. That was really a horrible sight. Anyway, I'm tired of that slacker constantly getting distracted with his own thoughts."

"What could he possibly be thinking? Why does he need a son anyway?"

"Ok, where to begin. Arlong was raised mostly by his mother, his father barely played a part in his life."

"Who does that remind you of?" Rae whispered to Sun.

"I heard that you two. Anyway, his mother was constantly bed-ridden, for reasons unknown. The only thing Arlong probably remembers from his childhood is watching his father rape his mother over and over again."

"What?"

"Arlong wasn't born from love. He was born from a series of rapes."

"Again. Geez, it's like he's a little clone of his own father." Rae whispered over to Sun.

"Will you two just shut up and let me talk?!" Jimbei bared his sharp teeth at Sun and Rae.

"Ok ok, don't yell at me." Rae yelled back at him.

"You've drifted off the main point, Jimbei. Why does Arlong want a son so badly?"

"It's a tradition in his family for the woman to bare a first-born son, or else dreadful consequences will be followed."

"UH, what kind of consequences?"

"He'll have to eat you."

"WHAT?!" The sleeping bundle of babies on the floor immediately woke up from the loud yell Nami made. The girls sighed and stood up from the couch, heading over to the floor. They picked up their babies and started to rock them gently, trying to hush the loud wailing cries.

"Jimbei, will you help me with Kenn? I have a hard time holding two babies at once."

"Just because I let you girls stay here with my warriors doesn't mean I've accepted you. So no." Sun rolled her eyes towards Jimbei and struggled to hold two crying babies in her arms.

"Mariko, Mommy's sorry she yelled. Please go back to sleep."

"Bliss, be a good girl and go nighty-night."

"Kenn, Siria, it's ok. It's ok."

"You three look busy now. Nami, I'm giving you an order. Tell Arlong you're pregnant again."

"But we havn't had sex since Mariko was born."

"Then have sex tonight and tell him in a few days that you're pregnant. I've had enough of him messing up. I don't care how many times you have to get him in bed. Just do it!" Jimbei stood abrudtly, leaving behind a shocked Nami, surprised Rae and Sun, and wailing out of control babies.

"Guys, I'm doomed."

"Those newbies are so hopeless."

"They'll die in battle right on the first day."

"Wouldn't that be depressing?" Sarcasim was laced all over Kuroobi's voice, the past remark made Choo and Hachi chuckle. For the past few hours, they had to train the newbies in a series of different battle techniques.

"Is today's sessions over?" Arlong appeared to the group, all four getting ready to head back to their homes.

"Yes, no thanks to you." Kuroobi pointed out. "Where were you?"

"Jimbei needed to talk to me."

"Is it about Mariko?"

"Yes. And, hey, have I been acting weird and ignoring my duties?"

"Yes." All three answered him. They got closer to their homes, all a little thankful that they lived just a few houses away from each other. But first, Kuroobi and Arlong had to go pick up their girls and children from Choo's house. Hachi had left the group earlier, going his own separate way for the night.

"Hey, I'm Home." Choo called out, getting no answer in reply. At first, he and the others were a little worried. Thinking that somebody had broken into the house, they rushed into the room where the girls usually hang out. To their surprise, nothing was wrong. They were all asleep. Sun slept on the floor, with Kenn and Siria laying their heads on her stomach. Rae was asleep on the couch, holding Bliss and…Mariko? Where's Nami?

"Honey, wake up." Choo knelt down and gently shook Sun. She groaned as she opened her eyes, her arm instantly going up to shield them from the light that was shining down on her.

"What?"

"Shouldn't the kids actually be in their own beds?" Choo gently picked up his son, leaving Sun to carry Siria. Arlong looked all over the room, seeing no Nami in sight.

"Where's Nami?"

"Oh uh…she is…she didn't want me to mention it. But she has a surprise waiting for you at your house. She already asked Rae to take care of Mariko, allowing you two to be alone for the night."

"Oh. Perfect." Arlong smirked to himself, leaving the room and house without a word. During this whole thing, Rae had woken up. She had Kuroobi hold Bliss while she held Mariko.

"We'll be going now. See you tomorrow sis." Kuroobi and Rae left the house. Choo and Sun went over to their babies room, laying them both in their own little cribs.

"Now that everybody is gone…" Choo wrapped his arms around Sun, pulling her closer to him and away from the crib. "Why don't you and I have some of our own little fun?"

"I don't want to. Too tired." She stomped down on his foot and covered his mouth before he could make any sort of loud noise. "You're sleeping on the couch tonight. There are some pillows and just use the blanket that's on the floor." She left the room before he could protest and locked the door to their room.

"What did I do now? I swear, this is the fifth time this week."

Nami set up candles all over the room, all of them perfectly glowing and filling the room with a scent of flowers. Arlong wouldn't really like it but those were the only candles she could find at the time.

She gulped as she heard the door to the house open. She rushed into the closest, putting on the finishing touches to her outfit. Just when she closed the door, Arlong walked in, feeling excited.

"Nami?" He called out.

"I'm in here." She replied back, trying to hide nervousness in her voice. She felt her heartbeat get faster. She heard his hands grab onto the handle and pulled it open slowly. His eyes immediately started to travel up and down her body.

Nami was wearing merely a transparent nightgown, the color of a light sensual green.

"What's the occasion?" He grabbed onto her wrist, pulling her closer to him.

"Uh..well, nothing really. Just…" 'I really can't do this. The way he's looking at me, it's like a hungry wolf that hasn't eaten for four days.' He pulled her towards the bed, letting himself fall first so that Nami could be laying on top of him.

"Just what? Couldn't resist me anymore?" He let his hand graze gently across her cheek, making her shake from the touch. 'Have sex with him. I don't want to. I can't.' She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt Arlong's hand travel up and down her back. She noticed how it tried to slip in-between her nightgown. It was then that she cracked, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Arlong, I have a confession to make." She pushed herself off his chest to sit right next to him on the bed. "Jimbei came and talked to me today. He mentioned how you have been making so many mistakes with the assignments he asks you to do."

"What does that have to do with this?"

"I'm getting to that part. He said that the only reason you're messing up is that you're still upset about not having a son. Truthfully, you did have a son. But he was a stillborn baby, no life at all. And Jimbei wanted you and me to have sex so that I could get pregnant and give you a son."

That's a twist! Whoa, how will Arlong react? Read and review. Please??????
