"Olivia! Olivia!" Zoro had been calling her from outside her room for almost an hour now. He had messed up, bad. He had accidently mention that he was worried about Robin's FIRST pregnancy. He let it slip. Now Olivia was in her room, saddened more beyond she thought possible but unable to cry. She just learned Zoro and Robin aren't her actual parents.
"Olivia, sweet heart, please let us explain." Robin reasoned. She had been in the room when Zoro accidently mentioned this was her first pregnancy.
"Why should I listen to you! You're not my real parents!" The 6 year old spat back, fighting tears of anger. Robin pulled backfrom door, hurt by the words she feared would happen if she found out.
"Roronoa Olivia, open this door now." Zoro's voice void of all previous anger, eerily calm laced with hint of threatening.
"That's not my name..." The girl whispered back as she reluctantly walked to the door. She opened the door to see a very stern and angry Zoro standing in front of the concerned Robin. She walked back to her bed acting as if his deathly stare had no effect on her. They entered the room, Zoro closing the door behind them as Robin sat in the chair from Olivia's desk. He knelt down in front of the bed.
"Let us expalin." He began.
"Explain what? How you lied to me? How I'm not your daughter?"
"You are our daughter, shut up and listen!" Zoro shouted, quickly losing his calm.
"Zoro..." Robin breathed out, trying to calm him. He took a deep breath before he began again.
"I wanted to tell you, not yet, when you were older. No, we aren't your birth parents. We found you on an island alone. You were scared and crying, barely even five months old and already left alone. We find you in your tiger form in the forest."
"So you just took me from there? Where were my actual parents?!" The girl said in anger.
"We don't know. When we found you, we were on an unihabited island. We sailed all around it and searched the entire island for a month to try and find your real parents. After we discovered nothing we decided to go to the nearest island in search of themm there. Still no one heard about a missing baby or a family who lost their daughter."
"Your fath- Zoro and I decided, while we just beginning to be together, that we would look after you as your parents." Robin added.
"Why is my hair the same green?" She asked quietly, her genuine curiousity over coming her anger.
"A stroke of good and bad luck. Good luck, because no one would question if you were my daughter or not. Bad luck, well, you would look like my daughter." Zoro answered sheepishly. He didn'y mind his hair color but in her case, he was unsure if she would be okay with the insults it brought. Also being affiliated with him was another problem on it's own.
"We love you, Olivia. You are our daughter, in our eyes, and the rest of the crew's." The historian comforted.
"I know, this is, a lot. It's not something I wanted you to know yet." Zoro explained, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why tell me at all? I was happy believeing you were my parents..." She snivled.
"Because, you needed to know. I want you to care and love us as your parents, I would always feel that you were forced into loving us because you thought we were your parents. I wanted you to know the truth."
"I do love you... but, I just, I really liked you guys being my real parents. I don't want that to change..." She said as she hid underneath the blanket on her bed.
"It doesn't have to change sweetheart, Zoro and I will always treat you like our daughter, and you will always be a big sister to the new baby. You are our family, nothing will change that." Robin comforted, sliding off the chair to move to Olivia's side on the bed. Caressing the small form that still hid under the covers.
"Can I still call you 'Mommy' and 'Daddy'?"
"Of course, Livy. I wouldn't want it any other way." The swordsman replied. Finally smiling again as his daughter came out from the covers and hugged Robin. Zoro took Olivia into his arms as she eased from grasping Robin's neck to Zoro's. He carried her to the dining room where dinner was being set out for them and the rest of the crew.
