"So, some of us have been wondering, when do you think her birthday is?" Nami asked Robin while Robin was rocking the girl in her arms.
"I don't know, I guess it's up to us to make one for her I suppose." Robin answered.
"Well, as her honorary mom, when do you think it should be?" Nami questioned. Robin thought for a moment. Olivia had been with them several months now, no doubt about to be or already 1.
"How about next week, on the 12th?" Robin suggested.
"July 12th? That would be perfect for her!" Nami chimed. "I'll let everyone know that we have a birthday soon!" She informed as she sped out of their room.
Up in the crow's nest, was Zoro and a clone of Robin's upper body.
"She seems to be quite excited about our little girl's new birthday." Robin stated.
"Well, she's right." Zoro admitted, no matter how much he hated to. "Olivia does kind of need a birthday." Robin smiled, knowing he had also been thinking about their daughter's future. It would be a little strange in her early years if they had told her they just didn't know when she was born. This would help her feel normal, at least as normal as the Straw Hats could be, but normal none the less.
"I know, thank you for your help. I was at a loss with when a proper date would be." said Robin appreciatively. Zoro just gave her a soft smile, still lifting weights as he worked out.
"So, wait? You guys just kind of made up my birthday?" Olivia asked.
"Well, yeah. When you put it that way, it sounds kind of dumb. We just had you for almost a year and considering how old you might have been when we found you, it just seemed to fit." Zoro confessed, feeling a little awkward at how easily she simplified his every word.
"Okay? I mean, I guess I can live with that." Olivia sighed. "So... what else?" Zoro looked at Robin, she just smiled as she lifted Olivia into her lap.
"Nothing, that's all there was." Robin comforted. Olivia rested her head on Robin's chest, not pressing all of her weight onto her mother's now large pregnant belly.
"Will I still be a big sister?" Olivia asked, her voice cracking abit as she fought a few tears.
"Of course, nothing could have changed that." Robin soothed as she lightly stroked the girls hair. Pressing light kisses to the top of her head to calm her worries.
"And don't you ever think that we'll love the new baby more than you. To us, you're both of our children. We love you more than anything, and we will love the new baby just as much." Zoro assured, giving his daughter a quick kiss to her forehead. "And they will love you just as much too."
"Are you sure? What if they find out that I'm not really their sister?" Olivia argued back, sniffling a bit as she faced Zoro.
"You are their real sister. They'll love you just as we do. We're a family, including Luffy and everyone else too." Zoro reassured once more. Olivia smiled faintly as she thought about everyone as her family. She was glad out of all of them though, Robin and Zoro were her parents. Her real parents.
Alright, so, I'm sorry if these feel too short or are just weird to read since I'm jumping around in the timeline. I just write what ideas come to mind that aren't either over written or just a copy of another writing.
That being said, it was my full intention to have a non linear timeline. I'm gonna try and churn a few more chapters out soon, but full transparency, this story is nearing it's end. I don't think their are too many more story ideas within this to continue for that much longer. If you feel like there are a few obvious things I could write, please consider, Family Time One-Shots by Robin Roronoa has almost every single family event or idea within it. I highly recommend reading her story. She has a much better writing style, as well as better story telling abilities. Also, it's just a plain better story, with the sole exception that I wish Olivia had Zoro's hair. My opinion though. I will also try to not cover an event that she herself has written for the sake that it would be redundent. I would also like to attribute the fact that I named Olivia, Olivia, was because of her story. The cute nicknames and short hand Zoro uses for her were too much. I literally stole that from her.
Cool, now that that's out of the way, I can say this. I read every review. Luckily not being one of the long time authors with a large following, I get very few. I do take all of the citicism to heart and try to better the writings I have made if I feel the same way. Such as, rushed endings. OOC-ness is not my biggest priority though. Seeing as how neither Robin or Zoro have displayed any kind of affection or romance in the anime, I feel justified to take certain liberties some might not agree with. That and I might be projecting my own personality into his character due to the fact that I like to identify myself as Zoro. Robin also suffers from a similiar thing where I find her known personality traits appealing to myself as I would like to have in a partner.
Anyhow, thank you for reading.
