Theme 19 Negative
What did it mean?
Luffy frowned down at the little pregnancy stick in Vivi's hand, unable to tell what the symbol in the square meant. It was shaped like a minus-line-thing, so did that mean the test was negative?
"It didn't take." The blue haired woman sighed, throwing the test into the trash between the toilet and the sink.
Luffy followed her out of the bathroom and into the living room where their closest friends were gathered to hear the news.
Sanji stopped pacing in the kitchen and hurried over to him, running his hands over Luffy's body like he was checking for injuries.
"It was negative." Vivi said unhappily, reaching forward to rub both mens' shoulders. "I'm so sorry, Sanji-san."
Sanji visibly drooped, his mouth closing tightly as he pulled Luffy into a hug that relayed just how much the word negative affected him.
"It's okay, Sanji. We can try again in a few months." Luffy assured him, digging his fingers into Sanji's back and trying to soothe the sniffling sounds coming from his lover. "We'll have our baby soon." The smaller man whispered into his hair.
Sanji's arms tightened around him and the blonde chuckled.
"All right!" Nami clapped her hands together to break the tense atmosphere in the room. "Let's eat!" She laughed awkwardly, ushering the small group into the kitchen.
She left Luffy and Sanji in the living room with Vivi to discuss trying the surrogacy again in the future.
