Chapter Fifty Four

"Damn you guys went to Paris, Venice, Greece, and Japan?" Tracy asked causing me to nod.

"Yup and I learned a lot about the diffrent magics, cultures, and such while he spent time getting a good grasp on the languages," Law rolled his eyes from next to me as his hand rubbed at my back, "And we also spent a lot of time going to festivals and such,"

"You didn't drink?" Daphne asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope!" I smiled before yawning, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm sleepy,"

"The last few days have been full of movement since Lady Luna sent the message along that the worlds will finally merge soon," Daphne stood up while dragging Tracy with her, "We'll see you two tomorrow. Sleep well,"

I nodded my head to her, "Until tomorrow Queen."

She inclined her head lightly with amusement in her eyes, "Until tomorrow Captain Wolf."

I rolled my eyes at her as she left the room with Tracy close behind. I leaned back against the chair I was sitting in and looked at the sky that was slowly gaining new stars, "Soon the worlds will merge."

"It will be nice to travel in the sub again," He smirked at me as I turned to look at him.

"I'm still wondering what your siblings will think when they find out we're married and are having a kid," I took his hand in mine and ran my fingers over the tattoo there.

"Minx will likely say that it's about time," I giggled softly at that, "Alexander will most likely try to curse me out for not waiting so that he could help prepare it,"

I shook my head lightly, "Perhaps."

He ran the fingers of his unoccupied hand over my stomach. He looked down with a softness in his eyes that I had only seen a few times. He spoke softly after a few moments of silence, "When will you start to show?"

I hummed softly, "Master Valkyrie has said that it would be another two to three months before I start showing."

"How is that possible?" I thought over the information before answering the question.

"Something in our DNA makes it happen as well as in our magic," I mulled over the information as I spoke, "Because of my devil fruit, the time will be a bit longer than usual,"

"Is there anything we should watch out for?" I shrugged.

"I know that my emotions will actually be stable for the most part due to the magic in my body," He looked pleased at that, "The later bit of pregnancy will be a bit tougher than most would expect not only because it's our first child, but also due to a small problem that it very likely to show,"

"What does it do?" His eyes narrow at the thought.

"It will make me sick like morning sickness and make it hard for me to keep food down," I rolled my eyes at his narrowed eyes.

"Is that why you didn't have any morning sickness?" He asked causing me to nod.

"Yes though it as it grows closer to the end of my pregnancy it will be harder for me to move around thus making me vulnerable," He tensed at that, "It's because of the energies in my body wanting to make our child strong while protecting it as it finishes developing,"

"Anything else?" He asked causing me to hum lightly.

"Nothing as far as I'm aware, but I'll inform you of anything should there be a need," He nodded at that as I stood up, "I'm going to sleep,"

"I'll be up for a while," He informed me causing me to smile.

I bent down and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Night."

"Night," He echoed as he pressed his lips to mine for a moment before pulling away.

I left him sitting in the large room reserved for entertainment and headed to my room. I quickly changed into my night clothes before taking a seat on my bed. Yukina jumped up next to me and rubbed her head against my side before settling down. I ran my fingers through her thick fur as Kiyo joined us on my other side in her larger four tailed state. Both were silent as I mulled over the conversation I had with Law and his reactions, I finally spoke after a while, "He is worried."

"He should be," Kiyo said causing me to look at her, "Both Yukina and you will be vulnerable in the last month of your pregnancy, it would make any self respecting male nervous when he realizes just how vulnerable his mate was," I looked away from her, "You didn't tell him about Yukina did you?"

"I thought it was a given?" It came out as more of a question rather than a statement.

"I know little one," I smiled faintly at the endearment that had once annoyed me, "But you must inform him soon,"

"I will," I promise both her and myself.

She nodded and nuzzled me affectionately, "With the enemies you both have obtained over the years, you will be in a lot of danger."

"But we will also be protected by our Nakama," I remind her gaining a nod in return.

"Correct," I closed my eyes as I leaned back, "Even so, you must make it almost impossible for them to find out,"

"Illusions?" I asked as I cracked open an eye, "Only Minx has ever seen through my illusions and it's unlikely she would ever snitch, so we don't have to worry,"

She hummed softly, "It could work, but what if there is a fight? Wouldn't it be easy for them to see that you with child if you don't act like you usually do in a fight: Charging in without a care about what happens to you."

I frowned, but knew she was right, "But I also use long-rang much of the time."

She nodded, "Point. It can go either way, but we will need to have more plans if it fails."

I sighed, but conceded to her point. It was true that every plan we made could fail and for the sake of my child, we would have to make as many as we could to protect his or her. I would be damned if the life inside of me died because of my carelessness.

A day later

I sat in my office over looking documents and such with a cup of tea sitting close by. I looked up upon hearing a knock echo from the door, "Come in."

To my surprise, Cheshire walked in. The blue streaked grey haired male walked in with uncharacteristic nervousness in his eyes. I smiled calmly at the feline-like man and waved a hand to the seat in front of my desk. A glass of wine was in front of him in seconds gaining a nervous laugh from him, "Prepared much?"

"What's wrong Chess?" I asked of him, "You seem worried,"

"The worlds will merge very soon," He said causing me to snort.

"Your worry is much deeper than that my friend," I looked at him sternly, "You are never so nervous around me. You haven't been since we became friends back when I first set out on my journey. Tell me what is wrong Cat,"

He slumped in his chair and took the glass of wine, "You were never one to let any of us beat around the bush when it came to things that made us nervous."

"If I had, we never would have gotten as close as we did," I smiled a weak smile, "Though perhaps if we hadn't, some things may never have occurred," I shook my head, "Maybe, maybe not, but enough of bringing old things up," My smile was gone, "Tell me what is wrong Cheshire,"

He sighed deeply causing a puff of bluish white mist to leave him making me worry. He was a natural born mist cat, a full-blooded one surprisingly given his parentage, so it worried me when he sighed mist. He was never one to lose control of his power, so worry was a given. I however kept silent as I wanted to give him time to collect himself. Based on seeing that mist, I knew he was deeply troubled and had been for a month or even longer. It pained me that he hadn't thought to come to me, but I also realized that I had been rather busy. I mentally sighed before focusing on him again as he spoke, "You know I never even expected to come here with this. I would have come earlier, but you were busy."

"Chess regardless of me being busy, you could have always come to me," I reminded him drawing a small, yet weak smile from him.

"True," He lost his smile, "Kai what I'm about to say..." He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "It can't get back to Law unless he get's told by her,"

I frowned for a moment before asking the obvious question, "Cheshire what are you talking about?"

"Kai...Law's sister...Minx..." He was trying to get it out.

"Yes?" I looked at him impatiently as a sense of dread filled me.

"She's my...She's my mate," I froze for a moment before I burst out laughing.

I couldn't help myself as I heard his words. Here I was fearing the worst, yet he came along and said it. I calmed after a few moments though giggles burst out quite a bit, "I see so you've finally noticed."

The man froze before yelling, "WHAT?! Explain!"

"I could tell that you liked her and she liked you immediately when you met on Wonderland," I offered him a fanged grin, "I could see the connection a mile away since I shared it with Law. Considering the fact you two were immediately comfortable with one another so soon after meeting told me,"

"But how the hell did you know she was my mate?" He demanded.

"Minx has an odd tattoo on her right shoulder," Cheshire growled possessively before blushing, "It matches the one you have on your chest exactly save for it being more feminine,"

"How did you see the tattoo?" He demanded sharply.

"We were sparing and ended up getting sweaty," His eyes narrow, "Actually sparing not anything your thinking of Chess," I rolled my eyes, "When we stopped, I suggested we get cleaned up in my hot spring. We did so and I noticed the tattoo,"

"I see," He took multiple deep breaths, "What should I do? I'm a pirate and she is a marine,"

I hummed and nodded, "True, but this island is to be a safe place for us. Minx has said that while she loves helping people, the marines aren't always doing that. She has been planning on retiring, but never had an actual reason."

"How do you know of this?" He asked causing me to smirk at him.

"Minx has managed to get information to me on multiple occasions due to having a latent magical ability," He made a noise of understanding, "We're closer than Law knows,"

"But what if she doesn't li-" He began only for me to cut him off.

"Trust me she does," I offered him a wide grin, "After all, she has researched into mist cats and found quite a bit of things,"

He seemed to freeze before hitting his head against my desk. I chuckled at the sight and began to work on my paperwork again as he mumbled, "So that's how she knew about the spot under my chin."

I was mentally laughing my ass off with Tundra while Bahamut shook his head. Black was grinning passively at the chaos the information had caused. I stopped him after a few moments, "As amusing as this is Chess, I must get this paperwork finished if I want to spend time with my own mate."

He stopped banging his head against my desk and sat up before draining his glass of wine. He then stood up and said, "Thank you for your help Captain."

"Chess if you start with that bullshit, I will shove an ice spike up your ass or die you pink and purple again," He shuddered at the thought and nodded.

"Right Kai see ya," He left quickly as the portraits laughed.

I shook my head and did my work with a smile. It seemed that things were going be quite fun when the worlds merged.
