hmfan: I enjoyed getting positive feedback for the last chapter. A little dirtiness at the beginning this chapter, too. Let's keep in mind they're basically teenagers, so they probably have a high sex drive.

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been trying to catch up with college. I have a lot of ideas, and I'm almost all caught up with the series.

Surprise Dilemma

Over the past couple of weeks, the betrothed couple had yet to alert their family members that they were to be wed. Nami passed by the Den Den Mushi a few times, but never got the guts to tell her sister that she was getting married soon. While, initially, she assumed Nojiko would be completely okay with the idea of the wedding, she didn't want to hear any judgment she might have. This was slightly out of character for Nami to be so eager to marry. On top of that, perhaps she wouldn't be okay with missing the ceremony. The sisters talked about it a few times as children. She never pictured marrying anyone like her captain, and Nojiko would indeed remind her of that fact.

On the other hand, Luffy couldn't think of a good reason to tell his grandfather about the wedding. In fact, he already decided to keep quiet about the entire thing forever and always. Garp taught him that he wasn't ready to marry until he became a Vice Admiral in the marines. He told him this even after he decided to become a pirate. Of course, he'd never in a hundred years join the marines, but regardless, what would he want to do with a marriage between two pirates? Would he like someone like Nami? His opinion hardly mattered, but he didn't think to contact Sabo.

All in all, they had done zero wedding planning.

Instead of contacting their relatives, they happened to be very busy people. The couple had been making love pretty regularly. If you asked them, they'd tell you that it was only getting better. So how could they possibly stop doing it every day? Somehow, after doing it so regularly, they managed to not get caught. Luffy had come close to spilling their various secrets, but he never let on what they did behind closed doors. Perhaps, they didn't even have to close the door. As they became more comfortable with the activity, they had sex a little less often. Apparently, the longer you can delay intercourse, the more intense the climax will be.

It had been 56 hours since they last slept together.

Luffy's brow furrowed as he studied the mikan tangerines he held in each hand. She definitely had a similar smell, but why? He squinted his eyes as he thumbed over the bumpy, cold peels. Her breasts were bigger than tangerines, and they were softer, too. He wanted to touch her again while he held a tangerine in one of his hands, but she said they could only have sex at night when everyone was sleeping. Until then, he knew he had to stop thinking about her like that. Luckily for him, his stomach growled. Hunger set in, and he dropped the fruits to find Sanji. The fruits should have kept rolling. However, they stopped just past the bushes. Someone had stopped him before he left the garden area.

"Don't drop my mikans," nagged Nami. She crossed her arms. "What are you doing over here anyway?"

With a weak grin, Luffy leered over at Nami's agitated disposition. He liked the way her arms elevated her breasts. "I don't know," he shrugged, "Why are your boobs so fat?"

His navigator didn't get offended, but she became flustered. "All boobs are made of fat," she retorted. She didn't expect Luffy to become more suave or romantic after their sexual encounter. In fact, his lack of tact comforted her. She welcomed the change of their relationship, but she didn't want Luffy to lose his innate qualities. Aside from his candid comment, she could tell that her breasts attracted his attention. Grabbing them with her hands, she taunted, "Why? Do you not like them?"

Luffy's mouth watered. "I like them," he nodded. His fingers twitched as he hovered his hands above her chest. "They look delicious," he remarked. He shook his head because he knew they had to wait. Meanwhile, he could appreciate Nami's body without lusting after her. "I only feel like this around you," admitted the captain. He couldn't recall another person in the sea who could make him feel the way she did. His heart raced again, so he placed her soft hand on his exposed chest.

Nami blushed. She didn't like showing her weakness like that, but Luffy had already seen her in her most vulnerable moments. The same straightforward behavior could also make her melt. "I see," she stuttered. Not even Hancock? Even Nami could admit that Boa Hancock was sexy, but for Luffy to admit that even the Pirate Empress paled in comparison, his words made her feel special. Now, her heart raced faster than his. Her captain's idiosyncrasies were something inalienable from who he was.

"It also feels the same on my musuko," Luffy laughed as he guided her hand to touch his crotch. His dick throbbed like his heart. She probably didn't like that he put her hand right there, but that usually didn't stop him. "I can't wait 'til tonight. I want to do it right now! See, you want to do it, too, or else you wouldn't look at me like that," chuckled Luffy. Just by the look of Nami's perky nipples, he knew that meant she wanted to fuck.

While she knew it'd be best to reject him, her hormones said otherwise. Regardless of how crude he'd been, his previous compliments had Nami smitten. She kissed him, and he kissed back after a few moments of lingering passion. Her body grew hot with each passing moment. Carefully, she pulled him back into the thick trees of tangerines to covertly seduce him. Jumping up, Nami wrapped her legs around his waist without breaking from their passionate kiss. Physically, she expressed her love by caressing his back.

The navigator got lost in passion, and she didn't think of the fact that they were making out in the middle of the day when everyone was awake. She didn't think of how fruits were dropping to the ground and calling attention to their hot and passionate session. All she cared to think about was where she would put her hands next. Already, her loins stirred for him, and she lusted for the opportunity to jump him again. Why did she feel like that so quickly?

While Luffy didn't understand why Nami suddenly jumped on him, he didn't stop to protest. He just wanted to know how far he could go with her, but what he thought didn't matter as much once his navigator started to shed her pants from her body. Her exposed hips and pussy called his dick to attention. It thirsted to experience the events of last night. Was this okay? He gulped once she dexterously unleashed his cock. Hopefully, she didn't get mad once she saw how much he enjoyed this sort of attention. Before he could explain, she slipped onto his dick. "Guh," he moaned. The slapping noises they made got him going. Before he could check to see if this was okay, he began to thrust into her. He heard her soft moans in his ear as he reached a quick rhythm. Managing to suck on one of her nipples, Luffy continued a bit more roughly.

Maybe they liked the breeze on their backs, or maybe they enjoyed the aromas of the sea. Their sweaty bodies clung together in the heat. They wanted to go for longer and share this sexual ecstasy. However, as a wave splashed against the side of a ship, they reached a climax together. They had already pressed their luck enough as it was.

Franky had only come up to look for Luffy. It was lunchtime after all, and he thought he'd take the time to alert the captain that the food was ready. Although he hadn't been a virgin for a long time, nothing could have prepared him for witnessing the last moments before Luffy and Nami orgasmed together. The scene left him speechless. He couldn't see everything, but he could put the pieces together and figured they were copulating behind the bushes. "Ow!" he exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. Young love must have been just as raunchy as he remembered it to be. Part of him was shocked, but overall, he was proud to see Luffy unleash his masculinity.

Not too far behind him was Usopp who was more upset than proud. "What?" he exclaimed. Suddenly, he felt sick upon catching Luffy and Nami in the act. This was just wrong. They can't do something like that on the ship! Sex should be banned. "Luffy!" cried Usopp. What did this mean? Franky pushed him back to silence him, but the sniper groaned anyway. He flailed in a panic after his pleas fell on deaf ears. Whatever they were doing, he needed to stop them. "I thought you were going to talk to them," he said.

Right. The shipwright was supposed to speak to Luffy. "Got it. Okay, I'll talk to him," Franky assured Usopp so that he'd shut up. "That hentai," he exclaimed kind of proudly.

By the time Franky let Usopp go, Nami had already slipped away. Luffy pulled up his shorts and let out a big, long sigh. Usually, he didn't sigh like that until he finished a giant meal. His grin didn't falter as he pushed his straw hat onto his head. Now, Franky could finally confront the captain. This was the best time to do that. "Yo," he greeted, "Wipe that stupid, hentai grin off your face." He knew not to say he was proud, but that's what he felt at that moment. The virility of youth shined brighter through Luffy than anyone else he'd seen on their ship.

"Oi! Franky, Usopp!" Luffy greeted them back. Good thing they didn't see what he did with Nami, or else she'd get really upset. When he looked over at the two, he realized Usopp was hiding his face. "What's going on?" he asked.

"I should SUPER ask you the same question!" retorted Franky. He grabbed Luffy and took him to the men's quarters where he knew Nami wouldn't follow them. Luffy dropped his weight to the floor as Franky dragged him near their barracks. Shutting the door behind them, he realized Usopp followed them in. For whatever reason, he was fuming. Franky assumed Usopp blamed Nami for taking advantage of Luffy, for the sniper suspected her since the beginning. "Chill out, Usopp," he assured him, "Luffy answered the call of nature."

Ignoring Franky, Usopp snarled, "Luffy!" Of course, he answered the call of nature. That's the only thing he ever listened to. Although a million words could have flooded out of his mouth at once, he held his tongue until he could think of all the things he wanted to say. Despite the Luffy's weary stare, Usopp saw more than boredom in his eyes. He saw gales of conviction brewing in his captain's spirit.

"Luffy, Luffy," Franky repeated, "I didn't even know you had it in you. Sex is a beautiful thing, ain't it?"

Vigorously, Luffy nodded, "Sure is."

Usopp's face reddened. What a repulsive lesson. "Wait a minute! What do you think you're saying?" he exclaimed. If he didn't intervene soon, the straw-hatted captain would get the wrong ideas about how to treat women.

Franky huddled Luffy over to a corner. "Usopp is still a virgin, so you have to be careful what you say in front of him," whispered the cyborg.

"I see," replied Luffy. He glanced over his shoulder to stare at Usopp.

"I'm saving myself for someone special," said Usopp as he covered his face.

"What's a virgin?" grinned the captain.

Slapping his forehead, Franky sighed. Just as he assumed, Luffy was still a virgin in his heart. This is why he needed to be properly taught the ins and outs of what actually happens. "Well, did you put your cock in her pussy or did you do other sorts of things?" Franky asked.

Luffy couldn't stop smiling as he responded to that ridiculous question, "What else would we do?"

After hearing their shipwright list dozens of sexual activities, Usopp temporarily passed out while Luffy became engrossed in the possibilities he could potentially explore. Who knew you could have sex in the butt? That was crazy to him, yet somehow appealing. He'd have to ask Nami about it next time he saw her. She had a very cute butt. And of course, she would want to eat him. Eagerness set in as his fingers gripped the air. "Wah," exclaimed the Strawhat. His eyes grew bright.

Looking around the room, Usopp sought someone who could be calmer and collected about this situation without snot dripping out of their nose. Luckily for him, Zoro rested a short distance away from their discussion. Roanoa Zoro had been trying to ignore the entire conversation, but unfortunately, two of the loudest people he had ever met were in the same room. He tried not to stir as Usopp slapped his back to get his attention. Although the swordsman's instinct told him that if he interfered, the noise level wouldn't get any better.

Zoro replied, "What?" While he understood the situation, he didn't really understand why the sniper had a problem with any of it. However, as Usopp explained the situation, the Pirate Hunter realized how the noise level could get a whole lot worse if Usopp's nightmare came true. Not only that, but Nami and Luffy were his nakama. "Luffy," he muttered, "She's going to get pregnant. If she does, then what are you going to do?" If Luffy had a baby, there was no way that could turn out well. Not to mention, the captain hardly liked kids.

"Pregnant? How do you know?" wondered Luffy out loud.

Everyone yelled at once, "That's what happens when you have a lot of sex!"

"Like, she'll have a baby with me?" Luffy scanned around the room to see everyone confirming his question. Usopp violently nodded with tears flying from his eyes. A kid? He could almost see them before him. His son would learn everything Luffy knew, and he would be his family and Nakama. While kids were annoying and needy, his love for Nami motivated him to lean towards wanting a family. She liked having a family, right? The only thing he hoped his kid wouldn't inherit is his voracious appetite for meat. There was only so much food to go around. Maybe they could go hunting for food together just like he did with his gramps. Would he have dark hair like his family or would he have orange hair like Nami? The possibilities! He'd be the pirate prince just like Ace was.

Before Luffy could finish that thought, Zoro stopped him. He could see the grin on his face out of his peripheral. "Don't get any ideas. Can you take care of a kid on this ship?" he interrogated him.

"Yup."

"Well, that settles it." replied Zoro before he covered himself with a blanket.

Franky gave a thumbs up. "Okay, the talk is over. Congratulations!" laughed the cyborg.

Usopp stood up and silenced everyone by raising his hand. "Luffy," he growled, "It's too dangerous to bring a baby with us. We're ambushed or pushed to the brink of death once a week."

"Yeah, but Momonosuke..." Luffy began.

"No!" yelled Usopp, "Momonosuke was not an infant; he had powers; he wasn't with us for that long. Luffy, you have to think about this sort of thing. You can't just jump into parenthood like it's nothing." The sniper tried to calm himself, for he didn't want to get out of control like he did in Water 7. However, his blood was boiling over. He noticed that he got the attention of Zoro and Franky. "You'll have to leave your son behind and maybe Nami," Usopp cried, "Just like my father left me." Sincere tears built up in the corners of his eyes as tensions built up in his chest. He would never want to pardon the situation of setting off to sea with a child longing for their parents on a distant, remote island.

Everyone knew he had a point. Luffy realized he probably needed to contemplate this more. He didn't want to upset Usopp or leave Nami. He then asked, "But then what am I supposed to do? I can't even play with her boobs or touch her butt or put my fingers in her..."

"Stop!" Usopp blushed, "I don't need to hear that!" Although the situation sounded somewhat tantalizing, there was no point in building up a fantasy about the impossible at this point. After shaking his head a few time, he grinned. At least, now, Luffy understood where he was coming from. However, he didn't feel equipped with the essential knowledge that Luffy was looking for, so he just said, "Uh, just stay away from her at night. Resist her advances if she asks you. Maybe focus on loving her in a way that's not bedroom stuff."

Frankie interjected, "Luffy, just go to ask Chopper about how you can have sexy times with Nami without knocking her up."

Luffy emerged from the men's' bedroom and slipped into the mess hall to avoid Nami - his fiancee. On top of that, he was hungry. Usually, Sanji served breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the maidens of the ship. Therefore, Nami hardly ever ate at the mess hall. Fortunately, only Brook, Sanji, and Chopper were eating at that moment. Luffy took a deep breath and plopped down in front of a saucer of juicy meat. Already, he was thinking about Nami. Was he actually supposed to stay away from her? He sulked as he scarfed down a turkey leg.

Brook stared at Luffy, "You have so much virility today, Luffy. Did something special happen?" Something had to have happened. Sanji spat out his drink. He had the glow about him that radiated from his tanned skin. While he noticed there was happiness on the surface, deep inside he could see that he was actually conflicted. It had to be a woman as special to him as Nami. On top of that, Brook wanted to hear all the juicy details if anything actually did transpire. All of the naughty, succulent details about the hot sex Luff got to have with Nami. He laughed, "Yohoho! Luffy, if we're friends, you would tell me, right?" What if he never said to him all the wonderful thing he did?

As much as he didn't want to admit it, Luffy did have an after sex glow. In fact, he must have had sex within the last 5 hours. And if that was the case, he must have been having sex for the past few weeks. "Brook, that's ridiculous," commented Sanji, "Luffy has nothing to tell. He would have told us - his Nakama - everything."

Luffy gulped, and instantly Sanji and Brook glared at him.

Chopper blinked twice. He smelled the tension, but he couldn't figure out what the big deal was. Luffy didn't seem any different. If anything, he was slightly depressed. "Uh, what's going on, everyone?" asked the reindeer, "How does Luffy look different?"

"When a man has sex for the first time, he becomes more manly," began Sanji, "And we're asking our dear captain if he's engaged in sexual activities with our precious navigator."

"Yup," Luffy answered proudly until he immediately corrected himself. "I mean - no." That wasn't fair. They knew he could hardly lie about anything. After these past few weeks, it was a miracle he'd been able to keep his mouth shut at all. Already he was being shaken by Sanji who demanded answers and interrogated by Brook who wanted details. Nami would kill him. She was actually going to murder him once she found out other people knew, but the first time wasn't just his fault. Hopefully, she was angry as opposed to hurt. He could handle an angry Nami. There was nothing he could do about it at this point, so he turned to Chopper, "Franky told me to talk to you about how I should sleep with Nami next time."

The doctor backed away slowly as he stared at Luffy. He wasn't sure what to say, but he needed to talk to Nami first. "Maybe later!" he laughed as he dashed into his office to avoid the scene. Of course, he knew what sex was. He may not have known all the ins and outs, but from a medical standpoint, he had a grasp on the implications of intercourse on the female anatomy. If Luffy had been having sex without contraceptives, he needed to talk to Nami. Surely, she had been on some kind of birth control. She had always been one of the most sensible people on the entire ship, so why would this situation of all times be the exception?

Nami sat in Chopper's office as he pulled out a few books on the topic he wanted to discuss with her. She squirmed when she read that one of the books was titled "Gynecology." When he finally sat across from her, she gulped, "Uh, Chopper, what was the emergency?" Hopefully, he didn't find out that she slept with Luffy. That would be a disaster. While her lover surprised her by keeping their sex secret for so long, she figured he could tell at any moment. That moment could have been today. Suddenly, she was sweating bullets - especially, after the doctor didn't give her much of response. "Chopper," she repeated.

"It's nothing really," the caribou smiled as he turned to her, "I'm sure it's nothing. You're responsible, so I was panicked. I thought since you and Luffy were getting married soon, I'd talk about your options for birth control." He didn't want to let on that Luffy revealed their sexual activity earlier. They were all still Nakama, and he felt he shouldn't tell on his friends. However, the longer Nami sat there without saying anything, he realized that he put her in an awkward position. Her face was beet red, so he pulled out a thermometer from his drawer. "Do you feel sick?" asked Chopper. Hopefully, he hadn't waited to late to have this talk.

How could Nami sit there and not tell the doctor of the ship the truth? She confessed, "I had sex with Luffy."

Chopper took a deep breath before he said, "What kind of contraception have you been using? You can trust me. If the one you're using isn't working for you, then I could direct you to some other options. You definitely need more than condoms." He flipped through the pages of his the book on pharmacology and herbalism.

"Nothing."

"What?" he laughed. "I asked what you're doing to prevent pregnancy."

"Nothing," whispered Nami, "The last island we stopped at didn't have anything like that, and I don't really know what to look for."

"Have you been doing it all this time with no protection? We can't start any kind of birth control until you know for sure if you're pregnant," he huffed. A lot of emotions coursed through his veins. This was bad - very bad. This situation was worse than he feared. He was naive to not have any kind of herb or medicine to prepare for this situation, but just a few weeks ago everyone was responsible. "What were you thinking?" he growled. Suddenly, he had difficulty quelling his anger.

Nami crossed her legs and slouched. She didn't expect Chopper to be this upset. "I don't know. I wasn't," she whimpered, "I can't be pregnant. He only came inside when we lost our virginity, and then, he came inside again when we doing it standing up. Then he came inside me today, but my period is tomorrow." As she went through her list, she realized how silly she probably sounded. Only some of that reasoning sounded like it made sense, but she knew that her judgement was deeply flawed when it came to sexual matters. Based on Chopper's agape mouth, she must have been a lot more incorrect than she initially assumed.

At first, the reindeer only flailed his arms instead of talking, but finally he was able to say, "No! That's not how that works."

"It's not the end of the world if I get pregnant," she muttered.

It wasn't the end of the world? Were all humans this irresponsible when it came to sex? Of course, reindeer had a tendency to be absolutely neglectful. Chopper frowned, "Nami, I shouldn't have to answer that." He knew he came across as a little too choleric, but even after all the circumstances, she still didn't seem to take this seriously.

She hoped he laughed or smiled instead of leering over at her with contempt. Maybe, if she ever had a boyfriend and wasn't enslaved to the Arlong Pirates, she would have better knowledge about sex. At that moment, she denied the possibility of being pregnant. Twenty was too young to have a child, and Luffy, being several months younger than her, was even less prepared. However, he wouldn't hate her if they did have children eventually. Right? "What should I do now?"

He managed to regain his composure as he took a deep breath. "I'll give you this concoction to pee in tonight. If your menstrual cycle begins tomorrow, then this result should be accurate. Start the birth control tomorrow if it's negative."

"Negative? How do I know if I'm," she paused, "Pregnant." That word was hard for her to say. She had a wedding to plan and someone to love. This medical dilemma posed quite the detour.

Chopper had to flip through the book he read to make sure he gathered the right ingredients from his cabinets. "The mixture will turn pink if it's positive and blue if it's negative," he read, "It takes 12 hours, so it should be ready when you wake up tomorrow morning. I'll talk to you and Luffy when you find out you're not pregnant. Okay?"

Her head was spinning, but she still nodded, "Okay." With that she slowly drifted out the door to the deck. Luffy might get too excited if she found out they might have a child. He'd probably start planning ahead about all the adventures they'd have as a family. Didn't Nami always want to start a family? A pirate ship was probably the worst place to raise children, but they'd be safe with her captain as their father. Maybe she was getting ahead of herself, but when she tried to exit the office, she creaked open the door to the mess hall where her lover conversed with a few of their crew mates. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him, for he was on her mind.

Nami heard Luffy brag about his love for her, so she put her ear to the door to hear more. His loud voice easily carried through the wooden barrier. Hopefully, he wasn't bragging about their steamy sexual encounters. She smiled.

"I won't have sex with her anymore if it means we could have babies. I don't even like kids," he laughed, "They'd only get in the way, and I want to be King of the Pirates."

That was their reality. So many tears fell down in bulbous droplets to the floor. This was all her fault. Tightness grew in her chest as she fell to her knees. Lately, she's felt a bit light-headed. She didn't remember what happened after that, but Chopper seemed concerned as she ran to her side to help her to the bed.

hmfan: Again. I'm sorry this is so late, but it's a little longer than usual, so that's good, right? Tell me what you think should happen next. I got caught up with the anime.
