Mum nearly got married?

Request from Rankochi: Poor Megumi but now she is mostly free :) How about telling the kids how her daddies saved her mum from being married off?

"Mum," Umiko stood next to her mother out on the deck, "Bed time…" She yawned tugging on her mothers skirt, "Eddie wants a story…."

Megumi looked up at the sky and smiled, scooping the girl up, "Ok what do we want to hear tonight?" She asked walking to her children's room and sitting herself down on Umiko's bed, Edward was tucked into his looking over at his mother.

"About the time you nearly got married and dad and papa saved you," Edward stated.

Megumi smiled nodding her head, "I told you about the tree elemental correct," both the kids nodded, "Good well after his crystal was destroyed your grandfather Garp came. I went with him not wanting the crew to be hurt."

"But dad could of thought him?" Edward questioned his mother.

"Grandpa Garp is a lot stronger than your father," Megumi laughed softly, "But I went with them to the Sakura Kingdom, were my mother and father was waiting for me. I told your Papa were I was going throughout the trip, they were a day behind us and when I got there they told me I would be wed in three days… I think off the top of my head, but your fathers and the crew got caught up so we didn't know if they would be there on time."

"Where you scared?" Umiko asked.

"Terrified," her mother replied, "I didn't want to marry a marine, any marine for that matter I wanted my freedom that the crew has given me and in a blink of an eye that could all be taken away from me."

"Then what happened?" Edward asked.

"On the day of the wedding I had given up hope of your fathers coming to save me," She stated, "Your grandfather Garp walked me down the isle towards Akainu but he whispered to me that the ship had been seen north of the island I nearly cried in happiness but I still did not know whether they would get to me on time, so I stood silently glancing to the door throughout the wedding and when it came to does anybody object to this wedding your fathers practically blew the doors off of the church."

Umiko and Edward both oohed at the thought of their fathers having such an entrance.

"Papa went straight to Akainu fighting the man back, whilst Grandpa Garp tried to stop Daddy from getting near me. Whilst my mother screamed at me, I was so happy I started crying, Daddy jumped up onto the rafters of the roof before jumping down behind me, the next moments went in a blur and we were running through the forest away from the marines," She laughed softly.

"You must of looked pretty in a wedding dress mummy," Umiko smiled.

"The cost of that dress could of fed a small island," Her mother smiled slightly, "But soon I was back home with the crew, I think your Grandpa Edward might have had a heart attack if I actually married Akainu." She glanced up at the clock seeing it was late, "Sleep now you two," She smiled kissing them both.

"Night mum."

AN: Your next requet modern or in the one piece universe? Though I do admit I love bed time storys with the kids. Roxie there has been a chapter out this week I will admit, though I am about ½ well more of a 1/3 away through the current chapter so I don't know. I have been trying to do another story based on one of my smutty one shots, (Facepalm) Which I will admit that I am quite embrassed over some of them. Though mid time next week maybe, no promises.
