FOUR MORE CHAPTERS LEFT. THIS CHAPTER IS JUST PRETTY MUCH A SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE SERIES. JUST NEED TO PUT THIS HERE BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE BABIES.
"Ah! Welcome back, Katakuri-sama!" [y/n] greeted happily when Katakuri returned from his week long mission.
"Yeah." he smiled although [y/n] could see he was tired.
He made his way to the bed and pressed a soft kiss on his wife's lips before laying down on his stomach and kisses her swollen baby bump.
"Hey. I'm back." he whispered with a gentle look. [y/n] felt the babies kick, making her wince a bit.
"They're being fuzzy since you left." she reported. "They normally don't kick a lot but for some reason they we're being restless the whole time you're away."
"Is that so?" he chuckled, stroking the baby bump. "Don't cause too much trouble to your mother."
[y/n] smiled and stroked his head. "You got the poneglyph that Linlin-sama wanted you to retrieve?"
Katakuri looked up and sighed. "Yeah. And I'm so damn tired.
Poneglyphs we're mysterious stone blocks where history we're written in ancient language. [y/n] wasn't sure why Katakuri's mother wanted them but it seems that they we're important since a lot of people we're fighting to find them.
A week ago, Big Mom received an information where one of these poneglyphs we're located.
Since she sent her strongest child to retrieve them, one could assume how important the stone block was.
"What is it like?" she asked. "The poneglyphs?"
"Big. Heavy." he said, laying his head on her lap and closes his eyes. "I did manage to carry it to the ship though."
She stroked his head gently. "Take a nap. I'll wake you up later." she said.
Katakuri yawned and nodded. "Okay." He then moved and laid his head to the pillow.
As she felt Katakuri's breathing became softer, she pulled the blanket and covered him.
"Sleep well, Katakuri-sama..." she whispered, watching her sleeping husband, fondly.
[y/n] looked over the open window as a gentle breeze made its way to their room.
As she sits in silence, she was reminded of how it was like when she first arrive at that place.
At that time, she thought she will be living in a hellish life at the hands of her husband whom she don't even know.
She was so terrified of him. She then remembered the first time she met him at her exact wedding day.
She was walking towards the altar.
Some of Melodia's noble and the Charlotte family's member stood on the side.
On end of the altar was her father. Since they we're following Melodia's political wedding ceremony, her father, the king was the one who must lead the ceremony.
Melodia's political wedding was different than normal weddings. Political wedding was like a king, doing a throne transition ceremony.
[y/n] used to dreamt of a sweet wedding. Not... Not this.
As she get closer and closer to the end of the altar, she saw a large man.
Since he was standing there, beside her father, [y/n] could tell that the man was her groom.
He was a large man with short, spiky crimson hair and a stern and serious look on his face. His lower face we're covered by a thick scarf and despite of it, being a formal wedding, he was not wearing a formal clothes, same as everyone from Big Mom's side.
Seeing that, [y/n] was beginning to wonder whether they we're serious about the ceremony.
As she reached her father and 'groom', [y/n] met her father's sorrowful eyes. Without too much a choice, he began the ceremony.
After the ceremony, comes the banquet.
Everyone indulged themselves with food. [y/n] and her 'husband', Katakuri, on the other hand, sat silently, not touching any of the food (which mostly sweets) on the table in front of them.
He was a very quiet guy. A very serious and quiet guy. [y/n] couldn't help but to be gloomy seeing what kind of guy she ended up marrying.
[y/n] tried to live normally living under the same house as Katakuri.
He told her that she was indeed a hostage of the Big Mom pirates though he also told her that she's still his wife despite of her position.
Her first week was bad and the following week was terrible.
She locked herself inside their room, dived into depression and almost let her health fail.
That was when she first see Katakuri's kindness.
For some reason, the man seems to know everything. It was like, he could see her suffering and what was strange was, for someone who seems cold hearted, he tried to ease that loneliness with his presence.
However, Byron's entrance to their life has reminded her once again that he was still a dangerous pirate who shows no mercy to his enemies even if the enemy was nothing but a mere child.
She were horrified and angry of what Katakuri did to Byron to the point that almost putting herself and Melodia to a terrible position.
Her father's strange illness was all it takes for Katakuri to redeem himself to her eyes.
At first, she thought he would just let his father in law die but to her surprise, he was actually trying to persuade his mother to let [y/n] to go to save her father. Although Katakuri has denied it and told her that he was just going to Melodia to collect flour. Still, she was thankful of him.
What completely sealed her love for him was her abduction. Honestly, she still don't know what happened to Avon since everyone, including her own family, refused to tell her anything. But whatever Katakuri did has saved not only her but also Melodia.
When they returned to Wheat Island after the Avon incident, everything changed between them.
Katakuri became a lot more open and gentler to her while she... Well, she ended up like a teenage girl in love.
Her view about everything has changed.
She used to fear everything but since that time, she began to love everything about him.
She couldn't live without him, that was for sure.
She always wondered why Katakuri hides his face and why he never eat with anyone. Although she was curious, she never asked him, thinking that once he was ready, he will tell her.
However, because of her carelessness, she ended up prematurely discovering his secret.
It was truly a surprise when she saw the normally stern and serious Katakuri, childishly talk to himself while shoving donuts after donuts to his mouth.
Katakuri was sensitive about his mouth and that was what pushed him into hiding it.
When he attacked her, she really thought it was the end of her. But Katakuri managed to control himself and although he was still wrecking everything on that room to release his anger, he didn't attack her anymore.
That time, she knew she needed to assure him that no matter how he looks or how he acts in secret, she will accept him.
That was the first time she told him she loves him, the first time they kissed and the first time he made love with her.
It was very painful for her, the first time he made love with her.
He's a big man and his size is no joke. Yet, despite of the pain, she endured it because she wanted to fully feel him. To become one with him.
Turned out that the serious Katakuri was an insatiable beast in bed. His sexual appetite was just as big as his appetite for donuts and it did tired [y/n].
Thanks to those times though, she finally got what she always wanted. A child with him.
[y/n] stroked her swollen stomach as she smiled down to the sleeping Katakuri.
He was snoring a bit, sharp teeth poking out from his lips.
With a little difficulty, she moved to lay down beside him and laid her head to his arms. When she did, the babies kicked as if sensing that they we're close to their father.
Sighing in satisfaction, she closed her eyes.
"Thank you for everything, Katakuri-sama."
