"Oh Zoro, *sniffle* I've decide to stay with my sister a little longer," she said.

"Really!? How much longer?" he asked.

"Just a day, so I'll be back tomorrow. Think you can wait that long?!"

"Sure," he said, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his voice.

"Bye Zoro *sniffle*," she said hanging up.

"Was that him?" Nojiko asked.

Nami nodded.

"So you're only staying a day longer?"

"Any longer would make them suspicious," Nami clarified.

"Well we'll go to the GP this afternoon just to be sure," Nojiko said.

"Okay. I'm gonna go get dressed," Nami said standing up and walking out of the room.

"It's too early in the pregnancy to be completely certain but the blood test and urine sample have come up positive," the doctor gave her a sympathetic look before leaving the two sisters alone.

"This means putting collage on hold doesn't it?" Nami said turning to her sister.

Nojiko smiled weakly.

"I'm afraid so."

Nami groaned holding her head in her hands.

"You should call Zoro. He'd want to know," she said.

"I will tell him. I just want to do it face to face," Nami sighed.

"Okay," she said softly. "Let's go home."

Zoro threw another pebble and it skimmed over the surface of the lake. He'd have to wait another day. Not only that but there was something wrong, he was sure that Nami had been crying before she'd picked up the phone. He leaned back onto the bank and closed his eyes.

"That bad a day?"

Nami threw her things into her bag, not particularly caring whether they were neat or not.

"You sure about this?" Nojiko asked as she lent against the door frame.

"Yeah," Nami answered zipping up the bag and throwing it over her shoulder.

"You have no idea," Zoro replied as the owner of the familiar voice took a seat beside him.

"Haven't seen you since last week. What you been up to?" Usopp asked.

"Waiting," he answered tucking his arms behind his head.

"For?"

"Tomorrow."

"What's happening tomorrow?"

"Nami's coming back," he answered.

Nojiko released her from the tight embrace.

"If you've left anything I'll bring it when I come next week," she said.

"You sure about that?!" Nami asked.

"Yeah I'll help you with whatever still needs doing and I'd love to see Zoro again," Nojiko said nudging Nami as a smirk covered her face.

Nami winced. She was unsure how Zoro would act to this new found knowledge that she was having his kid.

His hand knocked rapidly on the door.

"Franky!" he yelled through the door as his knocking became more desperate.

The door suddenly opened revealing a rather surprised Robin in a dressing gown.

"Sanji-kun?" she smiled crossing her arms.

Sanji's eyes widened as he took in his raven haired friend's body.

"I was just in the bath," she explained.

Sanji blinked furiously trying to focus on the reason he'd come.

"I need your help," he said.

"Sure," she answered. "What is it?"
