Red Reconciliation
By Arakiisjogenius
Uta decided she couldn't just let her daddy off easy. Izuku had helped her realize her dad had left her out of love, but she had to pay him back a bit.
"Hi daddy."
The voice over the Den Den Mushi shocked Shanks into silence. Especially since it called him daddy.
"Dad, I know why you left me behind. As in I know the real reason..." A small sob came over the call. "I'm so sorry that I destroyed Elegia, I'm sorry that I've hated you all this time, and I want you to know."
Uta gulped.
"I LOVE YOU!"
The dam broke.
Shanks grabbed the receiver and cried his eyes out.
"I'M SO SORRY! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THERE ISN'T A DAY I DON'T MISS YOU OR REGRET LEAVING YOU BEHIND! YOU WERE THE WORLD TO ME, YOU STILL ARE!"
The rest of the Red-haired pirates cried and yelled their own apologies and declarations.
Yamato and Harumeg watched as the most famous idol in the world was reduced to a puddle of tears and snot as she let loose her repressed hatred, sadness, and love.
Yamato looked down with a sigh. "I wish I had a good relationship with my dad."
Harumeg nodded sadly in agreement.
Izuku worked on instinct and grabbed both girls in a hug.
Rebecca, Reiju, and the mermaids watched off to the side.
"Hey, Reiju-nee?"
"Yes, Rebecca-chan?"
"Is it true that they're all gonna get married one day?"
"Yes, but Yamato still doesn't know she loves him yet. They already have a baby though."
Said baby, Inko-chan, gurgled happily as she crawled over and swept the three into a hug.
"Inko, Inko-chan be careful with daddy. Hold on, dad. We adopted a baby wotan and she loves hugs. Careful."
"So that's the baby Yamato was heard talking about?"
"Yeah, she's our baby~. I'm Uta-oka-chan now, so now you're Shanks-Ji-chan." Uta stuck her tongue out playfully.
"Already! We haven't gotten to meet up again yet and you drop this bomb on me? You are too young to be a mother young lady!"
"Too bad~ I love her too much now. I plan on taking care of this giant goober, and a couple more at this rate. My boyfriend does have people to bring back and I plan on helping as much as possible~."
"What?!" Shanks only stopped himself from screaming as he knew there was a baby near his daughter and he didn't want her to fear his voice.
"I'm kidding. I'm not going to become some baby factory."
Uta suppressed a smirk as she went for the clincher.
"Yamato and Harumeg are going to be having most of the babies but I'll be Uta-oka-chan to each one~. Oh, time to put Inko to bed. Bye, dad I love you."
Uta hung up the snail and giggled. She would call him again and apologize for the prank, but it really was time to put the baby to bed.
'Although,' Uta giggled as Izuku hoisted Inko up with Black Whip and Harumeg and Yamato gave the literal giant baby cheek kisses. 'It might actually come true.'
"Eh, I have a couple of years to figure this out."
Izuku turned back curiously, bringing Inko's face up to Uta's.
"Just thinking out loud," Uta placed a kiss on the baby's forehead.
