The Change: Danni gets pregnant and everyone's confused.
Genre: Humor/Nakamaship
Warning(s): OOC reactions (?); mystery dad; not to be taken seriously I swear
Unsure
"Huh," Danni said, blinking down at her stomach, that at first she had thought she was gaining muscle or something, but the protrusion, told an entirely different story. She stared down at the bump, running her fingers over it and wondered what she was going to do. Honestly, she felt kind of stupid for not realizing it earlier, because seriously, gaining muscle?
The woman stared at her reflection and rubbed the back of the neck. This was going to be a bit awkward to tell the crew, and don't even get her started on Chopper. The poor reindeer was going to go into a frenzy. (Did he even know about human pregnancies?) She blinked as another thought suddenly occurred to her. "Oh my," she murmured. "How am I going to tell him?"
"Tell who, what?" Nami's voice suddenly asked from behind, her reflection appearing in the mirror and looking at the older woman in curiosity. Danni blinked, slightly startled and pulled her tank back down the rest of the way, granted it did nothing to hide her new baby bump. She was surprised no one had noticed it by now, to be honest. (Of course, disregarding her muscle gaining theory, she had started to think she was getting fat, but that had been equally ridiculous.)
Danni shook her head to clear her thoughts and answer the orange haired navigator, "That I'm pregnant."
Nami blinked once, then twice before her face paled rapidly and she squeaked, "P-pregnant!?" Danni blinked back mildly, nodding and lifting an eyebrow at the stunned woman. "Oh my god." Without any warning the younger woman fainted, and Danni just barely managed to catch her in time to stop her from landing unceremoniously on the floor.
"Oh my," Danni sighed. "Is this how everyone's going to react?" Grunting, she picked up the younger girl and headed for the infirmary, where Chopper was no doubt taking inventory of the medicinal herbs he'd picked up at the last island. "Chopper? Nami fainted," the gunner called out as she pushed the door open with her hip.
The reindeer was next to her immediately, taking the navigator from her and placing her on the bed as he asked, "How did she faint?"
"From shock," Danni shrugged. Chopper blinked back at her from where he had been checking Nami for a fever, silently asking her why she would faint from shock. Danni quirked her lips up in a smile, resting one hand on her stomach subconsciously, "I told her I was pregnant."
Chopper gaped at her, the thermometer in his hand clattering to the floor. "EH!?" Chopper screeched, but he wasn't the only one.
"You're pregnant!?" Usopp yelped, dropping the various tools he had in his hands, gaping at the older woman who was blinking back at him in slight shock. "Wh-who? When!? H-how!?"
Danni gave him a flat look at the last question and deadpanned, "Do I really have to explain that to you, Usopp?" The sniper's cheeks flushed and mumbled something unintelligible. Danni shook her head in amusement, "Well, I need to go tell the captain." She left the infirmary, leaving behind her two shocked and one unconscious crewmates.
Upon reaching the deck she ran into Franky who was about to head below deck to go get some of his tools. "Woah there, sis, how's it going?" the cyborg asked, a wide grin on his face. Danni smiled back and Franky blinked in shock, before squinting at her and saying, "Dang, you're like glowing, sis! Super!"
Danni's smile widened as the fact she was pregnant finally completely sunk in and an excited, bubbly feeling began to bloom inside of her. "Am I really?" she asked, her hand brushing across her stomach, which caught Franky's attention and caused an eyebrow to rise. He shook his head. Nah, it couldn't be...right? "I didn't think that was true, to be honest!"
The shipwright blinked in confusion as he asked, "What wasn't true?"
Danni smiled up at him brightly (shocking him slightly; he'd never seen that smile before!) and chirped, "That being pregnant makes a woman glow!"
Franky would deny any mention of him squeaking at the news. "Who knocked you up!?" he blurted out, before his brain could catch up with the unexpected news. Danni's smile morphed into a smirk, and she didn't answer as she walked past him, humming cheerfully.
She made her way across Sunny's deck, refraining from skipping just barely. She was going to be a mom! The mere thought almost made her squeal in joy. She'd always wanted to be a mother! Granted, her dad had looked a little pale when she'd mentioned that to him once. She figured he didn't like the thought of any guy touching her in such a way. "Yohohoho! What has you in such a lovely mood that you are practically shining, Miss Danni?" Brook asked cheerfully as he moved his violin to his side, having been previously playing it before he'd seen the gunner practically skipping into view.
The woman smiled happily and answered equally cheerfully, "I'm going to a mom!" She was getting the urge to just shout that at the top of her lungs, and star dancing with her crew to celebrate. She would have to refrain from alcohol though. But she was going to be a mom! If alcohol was a price for it, she was more than ready for the sacrifice!
Brook let out another laugh, "How delightful! We will have to celebrate!" Danni nodded happily in agreement before she continued to make her way towards the head of the ship, where the captain was no doubt sitting. When she got there, Zoro was lifting weights and Luffy was singing loudly as he sat on top of Sunny's head. She also noted that the rest of the crew had followed behind her, curious as to what had the normally mild woman so obviously happy to the point she was pretty much glowing.
"Luffy!" Danni called out, bouncing up the steps two at a time and easily capturing the captain's attention, as well as Zoro's. Luffy hopped off his special seat, bouncing over to Danni with his usual wide smile. Danni's own smile widened even further as she announced brightly, "I'm pregnant!"
There was a beat of silence, before a crash was heard, and Zoro choked out, "You're what?" The swordsman had dropped the weights he'd been using as he gaped at the woman with a pale face. She gave him an amused look and if anything his face paled further as he started, "Are you—I—"
He didn't get to finish whatever it was he was going to ask, because Sanji let out a loud roar as he lit up like a candle, "I am going to beat the shit out of whatever shitty man dared to touch Danni-chan in such a way!" Nobody mentioned that Danni wouldn't have let any man touch her in such a way unless she absolutely trusted him.
The gunner didn't get any chance to make a retort to that when Robin said calmly, lips curled up in an amused smile, "I was wondering when you would notice, Danni."
The younger woman pouted and whined, "You knew, Robin? Why didn't you tell me? I was starting to think I was getting fat!" Robin simply chuckled, and if anything Danni's pout deepened.
Zoro managed to finally get his wits about him (or at least mostly, anyway) as he blurted out, "Am I the father?"
Danni blinked and then thought back, making mental calculations, before she shook her head, "No. It's—"
She was cut off by the collectively shocked cry (sans Robin, and surprisingly Luffy) of the crew, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
She huffed and glared at them, but Luffy's delighted laughter cut her off before she could make a retort. "Does that mean I'm a daddy?" the captain asked cheerfully, and rather bluntly. Danni blinked at him, brow furrowed as she cocked her head to the side and tried to figure out what the hell the captain was talking about. As far as she knew, she never slept with Luffy, so why was he asking that, unless...
"Well, in a sense I guess, since you are the captain," the gunner said thoughtfully, tapping her chin, and oblivious to the various relieved sighs from behind her. Thankfully, Sanji had calmed down (mostly) and didn't seem like he'd go flying off the handle.
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "But then, who is the dad?"
LUFFY:
"Does that mean I'm a daddy?" the captain asked cheerfully, and rather bluntly. The rest of the crew stared at their captain in various degrees of shock, before turning to Danni, silently praying her answer would be no and this was only Luffy being, well, Luffy.
Instead, Danni nodded her head, bright smile coming back full force, "Yup! I can't wait to tell daddy! And Shanks too! And ooh, what about Garp and Dragon? And Sabo, too! We just have to throw a party and invite everyone!" Luffy merely laughed and stretched his arms out to wrap around his apparently lover and drag her up against him.
The captain planted a kiss on the still chattering gunner's lips, silencing her effectively and causing Nami to faint again, along with Usopp. Zoro merely blinked before shrugging; he'd had his suspicions, so it wasn't that surprising to him. Robin merely chuckled and Franky was blinking rapidly in shock. Brook let out his signature laugh and Sanji looked like he was torn between fainting like two of his fellow crewmates and beating the shit out of his captain. Chopper wandered off to go read up on human pregnancies so he would be prepared for anything. Maybe he should ask Law about it when they saw him again?
ZORO:
Zoro managed to finally get his wits about him (or at least mostly, anyway) as he blurted out, "Am I the father?"
Danni blinked and then thought back, making mental calculations, before she nodded her head smiling cheerfully, "Yup! It hap-"
She was cut off by the collectively shocked cry (sans Robin, and surprisingly Luffy) of the crew, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
Danni huffed irritably, crossing her arms as she turned to face them and said drily, "Do I really need to give you all the birds and the bees? Honestly!" She turned back around, hopping towards her apparently lover and grasping his hands in hers as she chirped, "Isn't this great? We're going to be parents!"
Zoro's face paled rapidly and he whispered hoarsely as it suddenly dawned on him, "I'm going to be a dad?"
SANJI:
He didn't get to finish whatever it was he was going to ask, because Sanji let out a loud roar as he lit up like a candle, "I am going to beat the shit out of whatever shitty man dared to touch Danni-chan in such a way!"
Danni blinked over at the blonde, cocking her head to the side and asking curiously, "You're going to beat yourself up? How does that work?" The flames disappeared abruptly and the silence that followed her question was almost deafening.
Sanji gaped at her and he stammered, "Y-you mean...I'm the father?"
The gunner cocked an eyebrow and nodded, "Well, yeah. You are the last person I've slept with." Sanji fell back in a dead faint, and she sighed, "Seriously? What's he going to be like when I actually give birth?" No one deigned to give that a response, though Franky and Zoro looked a bit pale at the mention of her giving birth.
MIHAWK (seriously, don't ask):
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "But then, who is the dad?" Danni whistled innocently, looking off to the side and avoiding everyone's gazes. Nami felt her stomach drop. "Danni?"
The gunner winced and gave them all a nervous smile, "Well, it might, possibly, actually be Dracule Mihawk?"
You could hear a pin drop in the ensuing silence. Then: "EHHHH!?" shattered the silence like glass. Nami gaped at her, lost for words entirely, and no one else really knew how to respond, not even Robin or Luffy. "How did that happen?" Usopp blurted out. "I mean I know how, but. How?"
Danni rubbed the back of her neck not meeting any of them in the eyes, especially Zoro, who looked like he was about to be sick. "Er, well, I ran into him on one of the islands we stopped at and well, we got to talking, and it just...kind of...happened?" she answered, trailing off at the end and looking at them all sheepishly as she shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
Luffy cocked his head to the side and then asked, "Does that mean Hawky will have to join the crew?"
MARCO:
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "But then, who is the dad?"
Danni coughed into her hand, clearing her throat before she answered, "Right, uhm. That would have to be Marco."
"...Marco?" Nami asked tentatively. "As in Whitebeard Pirate Marco?" Danni nodded, glancing over at Luffy nervously. The Whitebeard Pirates were still a bit of a touchy subject with the captain, though they still met with the crew fairly often to talk and have parties. That was in fact, how this all came about.
Luffy merely grinned at her and asked brightly, "Do you think the baby will be a baby mystery bird, like pineapple?" Danni choked on the laughter that bubbled up inside of her, and the tension she'd been feeling drained away almost immediately. She'd have to tell the phoenix that next time she saw him.
Though she'd have to tell him she was pregnant with his child, first...
RED HAIR PIRATES (reaction):
"DADDY!" Benn was nearly bowled over by the black and white blur that flew at him, if it weren't for his captain standing behind him, with wide eyes and an automatic hand to his shoulder to keep him from falling to the ground. Benn had to wonder what on earth had happened to have Danni call him daddy.
He looked down at said daughter, who was beaming up at him widely and practically glowing. The bright smile and glow made a niggle in the back of his mind, but he couldn't begin to think what the hell it reminded him of. "Hello to you too, Danni. What's got you so happy?" the first mate asked, amused despite himself.
The amusement faded instantly at his daughter's answer. "I'm pregnant!"
Benn froze, and Shanks choked on his spit from behind him, while the rest of the crew let out loud cries of either shock or congratulations (that was mostly Yasopp). Somehow, Benn managed to shake himself out of his shocked stupor and asked (rather calmly, he thought), "Who?"
Danni's smile was decidedly mischievous as she chirped, "Shanks, of course!" Said redhead yelped pathetically, and Benn's face paled rapidly as he whipped his head around to glare venomously at his captain. Shanks was staring at him with wide eyes and an equally pale face, holding his hands up in a 'Don't Shoot!' motion. Danni snickered, "Nah, I'm just teasing, daddy. It's not Shanks. Can you say ew? He's more like a crazy uncle then my baby daddy!"
Benn wasn't sure if that made him feel any better. Just look at how the man had influenced his daughter.
ACE (in which he survives, yay!):
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "But then, who is the dad?"
"Ace, of course!" Danni answered gleefully, her hands planted on her hips and displaying the baby bump for all to see.
The crew blinked and Zoro pretty much summed it up with, "Huh."
"I'M GONNA BE AN UNCLE! SO COOL!" Luffy shouted, pumping a fist into the air and laughing almost maniacally as he grinned so wide it threatened to split his face in half. The captain whooped in joy as he bounced all around, chanting, "I'm an uncle! I'm an uncle! I'm gonna be the best uncle EVER!"
"I wonder how Ace-san will react to the news," Nami mused thoughtfully, tapping her chin. It could go either way. The man would either faint in shock, or react like Luffy. It was a bit of a tossup.
Danni snickered, "I can't wait to see his face!"
SABO:
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "But then, who is the dad?"
Danni's smile was fond and a bit embarrassed when she answered, "Sabo is." Silence greeted the response as everyone blinked at her in surprise.
Robin hummed thoughtfully, tapping her chin, "You two did seem rather close the last time he visited, now that I think about it." Zoro snickered, remembering suddenly that the blonde revolutionary had appeared rather ruffled and flustered leaving Danni's room that one time. Danni gave him an amused look, before looking over at Luffy, to see what the captain's response was. She was a bit worried he'd think he was stealing his only brother left away.
Luffy had a blank look on his face that made the gunner fidget nervously, before his face split into a wide grin and he pumped a fist into the air and shouted, "I'M GONNA BE THE BEST UNCLE EVER!" Danni let out a relieved breath as the captain continued to cheer. Then she suddenly thought about how her lover was going to react and paused.
"Oh my," she muttered under her breath. Sabo's face was probably going to turn bright red and he just might faint.
LUFFY AND ZORO:
Zoro managed to finally get his wits about him (or at least mostly, anyway) as he blurted out, "Am I the father?"
Danni blinked and then thought back, making mental calculations, and then bit her lip, "Ehm—"
She was cut off by the collectively shocked cry (sans Robin, and surprisingly Luffy) of the crew, "WHAT'S THAT PAUSE SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
She flushed and avoided their gazes, opening her mouth to respond, but Luffy's delighted laughter cut her off before she could make a retort. "Does that mean I'm a daddy?" the captain asked cheerfully, and rather bluntly. The crew all turned to Danni who was still avoiding all their gazes and many of them felt their stomachs drop. It couldn't be.
"Ehm—Possibly?" the gunner answered awkwardly, coughing nervously into her hand. The crew was all staring at her with raised eyebrows (even Luffy and Zoro), and were startled to see that the newly pregnant woman's cheeks were flushed a pale pink.
Nami was the one that voiced the question of the entire crew, "What do you mean by possibly?"
Danni coughed again, clearing her throat awkwardly as she still avoiding all of their gazes. "Well, I'm not sure who the dad is?" she mumbled in response, her cheeks turning red at the various incredulous looks she got for that answer. "It could either be Luffy or Zoro."
Dead silence met her answer, before the Nami and Usopp shrieked, "EH!? WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
Zoro stared at the gunner with a raised eyebrow and asked, "Are you talking about that one night?" Luffy furrowed his brow in confusion, before the memory of that one night resurfaced and he hit his fist on his palm with an 'ah-hah!' look on his face.
A wide grin split the captain's face as he laughed, "Shishishishi! That was a fun night! The way you arched your back Danni was awesome! And you make the best faces, Zoro!" There were two thumps that indicated Nami and Usopp fainted, and Franky's face was bright red. Brook's laugh was a bit more perverted than usual, and Robin had a cat like smirk on her face, while poor Chopper was utterly confused. Sanji's face had paled rapidly and his cigarette had fallen out of his mouth, before he too hit the deck with a solid thump.
Danni blinked at them all and put a palm to her heated cheek as she muttered, "Oh my." Zoro's own cheeks were a faint pink as he smacked his laughing captain upside the head, muttering curses under his breath. Luffy simply continued to laugh, grin threatening to split his face in half.
FIN
Note(s): Okay, this is really just for my own amusement. I had a blast writing this thing, because it's pretty much crack (which I don't get to write often, hahaha). There were a few other guys I wanted to have be the dad, but I couldn't think of plausible scenes for reactions, so it didn't happen.
FOXGEISHA: Okay, originally I wasn't going to post this until I had the next chapter for Calls Me Home written, but I wanted to let you guys know that it probably won't be updated until next week. This week I gotta focus on my school work, so I don't have to do it over my week break (which is when I will hopefully be able to write). Also, I've sort of hit a writer's block for it. It's not so much as a writer's block, as I have an idea on what I'm going to write, as much as I'm having issues physically writing it. I apologize, for this and the long wait that's coming out of this issue.
Reviews are welcomed and much appreciated! Also, remember that you can send me requests or ideas, for this Alternate!Danni series, and I'll see what I can do! C:
