A/N: If Sabo comes, how the hell am I going to fill in the plot holes between this fanfic and the manga? lol I'll just say something in passing if he does show up. Lots of dialogue.

I'm going to do something that's out of my element, but I did it because it would be fun. If you don't think it's fun, then that's fine - just skip the last part.

Family Reunion

Between planning for her wedding and caring for her daughter, Nami simply wanted a restful night of sleep. As she laid down on the bed at her inn suite, she contemplated the events that would unfold over the next few days. Nojiko and Genzo would arrive at Hitsuji Island within a day. Then, the day after they arrived would be the day of the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, Garp would either take Mikan or leave her, for Nami had yet to decide the fate of her new family. Just a week ago, she almost knew that she would be able to let go of her daughter, but tears came to her eyes whenever she held Mikan. If her young baby could talk, deciding what to do would be a lot easier. Nami tossed and turned every night over the thought of making the worst decision.

Before she could throw herself into an endless loop of guilt and tears, her solution placed a firm hand on her head. "Nami," Luffy moaned, "Mikan is sleeping too much."

"That's what babies do," Nami sighed as she tried not to smile. Even when Luffy annoyed her, he made her smile.

Climbing into bed with her, Luffy pushed his face into the pillow. "I want to sleep with you," he stated.

"I told you. We're gonna wait a few more days. Why do you only think about sex?" asked Nami as she pulled the blanket from him.

The captain frowned. He had assumed Nami would trust him more. "I don't mean that kind of thing. I'd be okay if we never did that again." He exaggerated that last part, but sex had truly not crossed his mind over the past few days. Nami had sex appeal the entire time, but other matters plagued his psyche. Much like his partner, he worried about where Mikan would be by next week.

Smirking, Nami wanted to test his sure statement. Running a finger down his chest, she stopped right above his waist. She teased, "Luffy." Without checking his expression, she gripped the brim of his denim shorts until he stopped her. Finally, she glanced at his widened, bull-like nostrils and heaving chest. His red face probably meant he was somewhat annoyed or annoyed or both. Sweat slid down the side of her head. "S-Sorry," she apologized.

Quickly straddling his future wife, Luffy narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Nami. Maybe he had a harder time controlling himself when they were in bed together. "I just wanna sleep in bed with you, but if you touch me like that, then I can't think about anything other than sex," huffed the pirate as he tried to avert his eyes from her voluptuous curves.

"Don't say something stupid like that then. I want you to want me," she argued. "I'm just trying to be responsible for once. Sex would probably help me relax tonight, though." However, this conversation was not supposed to escalate into an argument. Maybe this entire moment had an underlying air of sexual tension.

Luffy loosened his grip on her wrists. Of course, he did not use his full strength, but when he became emotional, he had difficulties gauging his power. "Sorry, I'm not mad," he deeply frowned again. "You're sad that we didn't have the baby on purpose? It's not your fault. Is that the reason you don't want to have sex with me right now?"

How did Nami's lover always know the right words to say? The corners of her eyes watered as she shook her head. "No," she said, "I also want to think about our love. I don't want to become obsessed with sex all the time. I want to fall deeper in love with you."

Nodding, Luffy understood. "Got it." Truly, he had no problem with avoiding sex, but the fact that his navigator could harbor anguish bothered him the most. Her loving and lustful kiss comforted him. In fact, the kiss continued for several minutes. Her hands traced his sides and pulled him closer to her. This was a test or another tease. Either way, if she went any further, he would spring from his shorts. "Nami," he begged.

Without thinking, Nami continued kissing him. Maybe she should have resisted playing with a fire like this. This restriction she placed on herself enticed her even more than usual. "You save me every time," whispered the quivering woman. "I want to do it right now." She could blame her hormones, too.

"Okay," he agreed with a gulp. This sudden change in mood had to be a trick, but he could not resist. Her bra-less breasts yearned for him to touch them.

"Luffy?" shouted a familiar voice from outside the room.

Sweat dripped from Luffy's hair as he ignored the call and inched his hands closer to his fiancee's chest. Hot breath escaped his mouth until the door burst open. Without looking back, he finally groped Nami's breasts.

Nami jumped once she saw Garp in the doorway. She pleaded, "Ah! Luffy, stop!"

Now, from Monkey D. Garp's perspective, seeing Luffy on top of a screaming young woman definitely appeared sketchy. Quickly he yanked his grandson to the ground. "What the hell are you doing?" he boomed. Grabbing his fist with his opposite hand, he managed to hold himself back from punching the pirate. When he noticed that the woman had orange hair, his face remained red with rage. She must have been Nami. "Just because you're getting married doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want!"

Sitting up, Nami glanced down at the nearly unconscious Luffy. "It's fine," she sighed. He wasn't supposed to be there until the next day. In a daze, she looked at the towering older man. The blush deepened on her cheeks, she admitted, "He wasn't taking advantage of me. I just wanted him to stop when you got here."

"Oh," blinked Garp. He tightened his teeth. Not sure how to react, he picked his nose. "Nami, it's good to see you again. My grandson is a lot to handle."

Luffy jumped to his feet and balled his fists. "Jii-chan, I can touch Nami as much as she wants. She really wants me to have sex with her right now, so you have to get out," ordered the captain.

Before her boyfriend could say anything else, she forcefully punched him back to the ground. "My family is here, right? I'll let Sanji know that he has to set some other plates for the table," she smiled as she straightened her shirt and walked up to the Vice Admiral. "Thank you."

Without much warning, he embraced her. "I see you can put him in his place with your Fist of Love. I like you," Garp laughed.

Nami guarded her belly as he lifted her into the air. "I'm glad," she nervously chuckled. The Marine could not find out about her pregnancy yet, so she needed to have a talk with Luffy. "I'll get dressed and meet you all outside in the dining hall."

"Oh, okay," Garp said as he placed her on her feet. "Where's my Great-granddaughter? I'd like to see her."

"I think Sanji and Robin are with her around the kitchen down the hall."

Walking away, he looked over his shoulder to say, "Alright. I'll see you at dinner!"

Once Garp left the room, Nami turned to Luffy's twitching body. "We need to talk," she sighed for the tenth time that night.

Around the bustling table sat many people from Luffy and Nami's pasts. The captain sat on one end around his friends and family from Foosha Village, and the navigator sat on the opposite end - surrounded by her family and friends. Their crew awkwardly ate between both parties. Everyone shared smiles and laughs, but the Straw Hats nervously waited for Luffy to spill their giant secret.

The lovely navigator asked Sanji to only serve her virgin drinks so that she could keep up appearances, but the pending reveal ruined her appetite - including her thirst.

Earlier, Nami had cried when she saw Nojiko and Genzo. She had many stories to tell them, but by the number of people around her, she could hardly get out one. Nojiko did not seem to mind.

"Nami, you look a lot like I did when I was younger," commented Dandan from across the room.

Was that supposed to be a compliment? Nami's eye twitched. "Thank you."

Genzo shook Luffy's hand and grinned, "I trust you to take care of her. I knew this would happen some day."

Although he respected Nami's father-figure, Luffy hardly paid attention to Genzo as the captain glared at his grandfather. The old man held Mikan, so naturally, malice grew in Luffy's soul. Hopefully, Nami would come to her senses. They made a signal just in case they needed to ditch.

Cutting from the conversation once again, Nami furrowed her eyebrows to study Luffy. She squinted her eyes to repeat her silent message. "Don't tell anyone that I'm pregnant," she urged with a stern glare.

Nojiko fawned, "Oh, Nami, you and Luffy make such loving eyes at each other. You just can't take your eyes off of him, can you?"

"I could make those eyes at you, Nojiko-san!" shouted Sanji. When one door closes, another opens. Hearts filled his eyes.

Zoro yawned, "Ero-cook, shut up." He had finished his meal, and he wanted to wander off somewhere.

Usopp conspired with Chopper. "What kind of colors do you think I should use for the fireworks?" he whispered.

"Any color is fine," smiled the doctor. This would be the first wedding he ever witnessed. "Luffy will like anything."

Although Robin could read the tense situation of secrecy, she could also see that the love between her captain and navigator never faded from their eyes.

The two musicians plotted to play a song of some sort. Franky nodded at Brook as he strummed a few notes on his guitar. "I think that I should super take care of the lyrics," he noted.

Brook laughed, "Yohoho!" but then, sweat slid down his face once he realized that Franky would not laugh as well.

"Mikan looks a lot like you when you were this age, Luffy," Garp boasted as he cradled the small child in his arms. She reached up to his gray beard.

The Straw Hat captain's glared at how his daughter giggled in his grandfather's arms. Rubbing his bare chin, he wondered if he should try to grow a beard again.

Continuing, Garp boomed with laughter. "Earlier, I was surprised at how great of a dad you were with her. You've really grown up," he noted. Hopefully, they could repair their broken relationship over the next few days. For now, the proud grandfather awed at Mikan's potential. He could feel that she would be a great person one day. If he had it his way, she would not get involved in combat at all.

Luffy snarled as he tightened his teeth. He jumped at the moment to defend his fatherhood and his family. "Of course I'm a great Papa! And I'll be a great Papa when Nami has our," he began, but before the captain could finish, several of his crewmates tackled him to the floor.

Among them, Usopp covered his mouth. "Luffy," he loudly whispered, "You're not supposed to tell anybody. Nami's gonna get mad at you."

On the other side of the table, Nami sweat bullets. Running her fingers through her hair, she knew all along that Luffy would somehow spill everything before he finished eating. Fortunately, her friends stopped him in time, but he that would not stop him from proudly spouting his future fatherhood. Leaning over the table, she sighed. What would people say?

Nojiko placed a hand on her younger sister's shoulder. "You look like you could use a drink, Nami," she commented on her grinding teeth and tight fists. So then, she grabbed the closest liquor bottle that she could and poured it into Nami's cup.

Lying her head on the surface of the table, Nami answered, "I can't drink." By the pit of her instincts, she confided in her sister. After all the planning, the navigator never expected that she would drop a hint about her condition. Quickly, she had to correct herself. "I have to think about the wedding, so that's why I don't want to drink a lot. By the way, it's still not going to happen for two more days."

"You're pregnant? Again? Nami?" Nojiko exclaimed.

Nami outed herself! Jumping up, the young woman gazed around at all the dropped jaws and wide eyes. Silence swept through the room. Her crew quietly braced for the verbal reaction of the group by tightening their posture. They would defend their friends no matter what happened at that point even if doing so meant they would have to fight Luffy's grandfather. They almost expected something like this to happen. Secrets and Straw Hats never worked out in the end anyway.

Then, Luffy, who sat at the other end, beamed a large grin towards her. He chuckled, "Yup, I put another baby inside her already."

Garp did not take long to chime in his opinion. "The more, the merrier!" he laughed from his gut.

The celebration resumed with added excitement. The pirate crew collectively let out a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, you two!" Genzo cried out in joy as he placed a hand onto Nami's back. "I can feel the love between you."

Even though Nami inadvertently confessed her pregnancy, she glared at Luffy for confirming her condition. At least, everyone seemed to handle the news well. However, he was no longer at the end of the table. Searching around the room with her eyes alone, she yelped when she felt his rubbery arms lift her from the ground in a bridal carry. "Luffy!" she exclaimed.

"And if anybody messes with any of them, then I'm gonna beat you up!" the captain declared as he blew steam from his nose and ears.

Everyone laughed.

After dinner, Garp handed Mikan to Nojiko per her request. Even then, he had difficulty letting her go, but he needed to talk to his grandson. The Marine thoroughly understood the climate of his relationship with the pirate. He feared their connection would fade after the events of Marineford, so the call about Mikan pleasantly surprised Garp. He looked forward to raising her for the rest of his days, but certainly, he wanted to attempt to mend his conflicts with Luffy. But, how could he? He already let Ace - their family - die. The scene haunted him for the past two years.

He found the new father in a room a few doors down from Nami's. The green-haired swordsman, the blond chef, and the furry chimera held him down. Coby stood at a distance. Garp warned them that he wanted to talk to Luffy, so they helped facilitate a peaceful discussion. Sitting down at the small table in the center of the suite, he crossed his legs and nodded towards everyone.

His resentment caused a tinge of pain in the old man's chest. "You can let him go now," said Garp.

"I'm not gonna kill him," promised Luffy.

One of his friends with the long nose sighed, "You say that, but you had murder in your eyes at dinner."

"You'll ruin the wedding for Nami-san if there's a fight," said the blond smoker.

"Just don't do anything stupid without us, Luffy," warned the swordsman.

The reindeer frowned, "You promise, right?"

"Yeah, I can talk," he agreed once more.

Everyone left except for Coby.

"You can leave, too," advised Garp. Once the Monkeys were alone, he took a deep breath. "I know you're still mad at me. I don't like how things turned out. I still love you and Ace. I love Nami and Mikan now, too. But, Luffy, we're on opposite sides. That's how things have always been."

Luffy took a deep breath, too. When he exhaled, he yelled, "How can you say you love anybody? You let him die. You could have protected him if you really cared. How do I know you're not gonna give Mi-chan to the Marines?" No, he knew that his grandfather would never go that far, but at least, the captain did not immediately punch Garp when he claimed that he cared about them.

Closing his eyes, the patriarch nodded, "I would never do that, Luffy. I saved Ace from execution once, but he chose to be a pirate and break the laws I tried to teach you two boys. I knew you come and save him, and I thought you would get away, too. When Akainu killed Ace, I wanted to murder that bastard. My heart breaks every day because I miss Ace - my grandson." Cutting away from the conversation, his voice broke when he continued, "If only you two became Marines, then we would all be together. You two were strong, so you would have probably become Vice Admirals or even Admirals by now."

Luffy had never seen his grandfather cry before that moment. In fact, he had only ever comforted a few people in tears throughout his lifetime.

"I don't want that to happen again. I want Mikan to be safe. I don't want to fight her or any of my kids ever again," Garp pleaded as he bowed to Luffy on his knees. "Please forgive me, Luffy." He retired to become an Instructor, so he planned to keep a close eye on both Mikan and the future baby at Fusha Village.

Speechless, the pirate was not sure how to react. He observed his old man's head pressed against the wood floors. "O-Oi," stuttered Luffy. "Jii-chan, what're you doing?" However, then the thought struck him - what if Mikan had to fight Luffy? What if she became a Marine? He would be Wanted by the government until the day he died, so naturally, any Marine would try to stop him from pirating.

Garp kept his head down when he continued to beg, "Please, Luffy."

The sight of his grandfather groveling disturbed him. While he may have never directly looked up to him, Luffy figured that he would have put up a bigger fight. Maybe he rued the events of the war after all. Slowly, he nodded with tears falling from his eyes, "Okay." Luffy hardly held grudges, but he had been on high alert because Garp wanted to take Mikan away.

The grandfather and grandson would probably never become best friends. However, they could at least go back to the way things were - mutual disdain.

"Nami, will you forgive me as well?" asked Garp as he turned his head to look at the door.

Slowly, the door creaked open as the orange-haired woman stepped inside the room. "If Luffy forgives you, then I do, too," she frowned after catching sight of the tears falling from her lover's face. Closing the door behind her, she took a seat next to him.

Luffy's eyes widened as he noticed his future wife enter the room. "You were listening?" he asked as he wiped his eyes.

Nami nodded, "Yeah, of course." She balled up her fist. "I haven't decided what I want to do, Monkey-san."

Sitting up, Garp woefully nodded, "I understand, but know that I will take good care of her. I'll teach her everything I know, and I'll be gentle, too. It's your decision, though. You're her mother."

The day was approaching like a storm on the horizon, and she would have to make the right choice soon enough.

Then, the Marine got an idea. "I know! You can come with me, Nami - just for one year. Luffy's mother stayed for a year before she left, too," suggested Garp with a grin. He pointed to her belly. "You could have your other kid at Fuusha Village, too!"

"No!" Luffy answered before Nami processed the proposal. His face grew red as his brow immensely furrowed. "You can't take Nami away from me, too! She's my Nakama. She's the only family I'd have. I love her a lot, and I want to be with her forever. That's why we're gonna get married."

"That's for her to decide, right? Right, Luffy?" Garp asked.

Tears dropped to the floor from all corners of the room, so Nami knew that she probably could not properly make that kind of decision. Luffy did not remember his mother well. If Mikan left her, then she would probably know nothing about her mother. "I don't know what to do," she wept. "Can we not talk about this right now?"

"S-Sorry," apologized the Marine. He wiped his face and stood to his feet. "You're beautiful even when you cry, Nami, and your strength reminds me of my wife."

Hugging his arms around her body, Luffy protected his girlfriend. "You want to marry her, Jii-chan? You can't!"

"No," laughed Garp.

Nami cleared her face and pushed Luffy. "That's not what he's trying to say," she yelled. However, she had to wonder if Luffy's grandmother was still alive. "Your wife?"

Sweat dripped drown Garp's face. "She was murdered a long time ago, but I remember her like yesterday," he explained. Once he realized that he had stopped talking for a solid minute, he looked back at the couple. "Ah, I'll tell you about her another time." With that, he exited the room.

Luffy shrugged when his beloved navigator looked at him. "He never talked about my grandma before."

Nami lied her head on Luffy's shoulder. "I see. Thank you for talking to him."

"Yeah," he said without changing his facial expression.

Then, she remembered that her sister wanted to see her. "Oh, I'll see you later. Nojiko asked me to come to her room," explained Nami as she stood up to leave. "Take a bath, okay?"

"No," protested the captain.

"It's a bathhouse, so we're already paying for it with the wedding. Plus, the other guys were getting ready to go out there."

Reluctantly, he agreed.

"Who the hell is that?" exclaimed Nami as she ruffled her own frazzled hair.

A young kid slept on the bed behind them. "Shush," Nojiko urged as she covered Nami's mouth. "Promise not to get mad at me."

The navigator could not promise anything because she hardly knew who the brown-haired kid was. "I promise," Nami lied. "Now what the hell is going on, Nojiko?"

Sighing, the purple-haired woman knew that Nami had not truly calmed down, but she proceeded anyway. "A few years ago, this tall, strong man came to our island. He seemed polite and nice, so no one had any issues with him. He said he could only stay for a day while he ate a few meals."

"What does this have to do with the kid?" asked Nami. The corner of her mouth twitched as she lowered her brow.

Nojiko laughed, "Well, he mentioned Luffy, and so, immediately, the town lit up and asked him all sorts of questions. They wanted him to stay another night, so he did. On that second night, we talked all night. He was good at telling stories - better than you." She smiled.

Nami did not smile back, for slowly, she began to put together the pieces. She more closely analyzed the boy's face once she walked closer to him. Brushing back his hair, she recognized various facial features of his - his dark eyes, his freckles, all of him reminded her of the mysterious guest.

"After he left, I hoped that he would come back, but he said that he couldn't make any promises. A few weeks later, I got really sick, but apparently, I was just pregnant," Nojiko casually admitted.

"I see," responded Nami. Her sister only confirmed her suspicion. The initial shock had mostly faded from her jittery hands. "Ace." She could not tell the difference between this kid and Luffy's brother - other than their age difference.

Approaching them, she nodded. "I never got a chance to tell him. Blackbeard caught Ace by the time I knew that I was pregnant. I don't know how I would have told him." A wave a grief swept through her body. "Since Cobalt is the Pirate King's grandson, the government might try to execute him and-or me. I haven't even told Monkey-san yet."

"He won't do anything," Nami assured her. After the heart-to-heart that she shared with her future in-law, she trusted him. "It's okay, but why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know - why didn't you tell me that Luffy knocked you up? Plus, Marines know how to tap Mushi lines," Nojiko giggled as she held up a single finger to explain. "I'm sorry, though. I should have told you. I guess I just felt irresponsible? I didn't want you to look down on me."

"Me, too," replied the younger sister as she pointed towards herself. "I'm only twenty-one, and I already have a baby with another one on the way." Speaking of which, Nojiko should have had Mikan somewhere in her room. "Where is my kid?"

Nojiko pointed to the door, "Garp took her right before you came in here. He can't stay away from her - she's so cute. I wonder if he'd treat Cobalt the same way. He already said that he looks like Ace."

Nami nodded as she crossed her arms. "He does. I think he will want to get to know him once he knows they're related," she explained with a solemn smile. "Anyway, I'm going to go take a bath with Robin and Chopper. Do you want to come, too?"

"Sure," agreed the older sister.

Nami could hear Luffy complaining about baths from the other side of the hot springs. She comedically sighed and tried to relax. "Sorry, the water's kind of lukewarm. Pregnant women aren't supposed to be in hot springs for too long, so I asked them to cool it down a little. I still won't be able to stay long."

"It's fine. As long as you're feeling okay, I am happy as well," smiled Robin.

Chopper mused, "I'm excited to help you through this, Nami. No one ever asked me to help with their pregnancy back at the Drum Kingdom. I've never done anything like this." Hopefully, he could adeptly put his research to the test.

"I wonder what they're doing over there," said Nojiko as she looked towards the tall, wooden fence. Sanji could probably see him.

"Don't look try to look at my wife, Sanji!" commanded Luffy.

Again, Nami let out a sigh.

Suddenly a tall woman with long, dark hair entered the bath area. "Are you Nami?" she demanded. "Fight me like a real woman if you care about Luffy. He's mine." As she pointed down at Nami, she leaned back to turn her nose to the sky.

"What?" gasped the group of women plus Chopper.

Nami's eyebrow twitched. "You've gotta be kidding me," she moaned. This woman - she was Boa Hancock, right? While Nami had a decent amount of self-esteem regarding her looks, she wondered how in the world her captain chose her over such a beautiful woman. At least, that's how she saw the situation. Even Nami could appreciate her beauty. "I'm not going to fight you."

"What?" gasped Hancock.

Robin and Chopper emerged from the water to get into their respective fighting positions.

A/N: I was stressed last night because I knew I wouldn't be able to get this chapter out by then, but then I realized it was Thursday - not Friday. Anyway, I promise with a capital P that the next chapter will at least have some aspect of the wedding in it. I'm honestly not trying to drag it out too much.

Also, about Cobalt... quite a few people requested that pairing. That was the only way I could see something like that working in my universe.

As far as the ending goes, I see this story carrying on for another ten chapters at least. I might make a separate story.

Someone asked about Mikan getting her own part or story. I definitely plan for that to happen. Most likely, it will be a spin-off story set 10 years in the future.
