You woke up to the nurse checking up on you at around six that morning. You talked to her quietly, trying not to wake up the boys sleeping on either side of you. Your throat felt a lot better, you probably couldn't give speech or scream, but it was a lot better. She explains that they want you to stay a few extra days so that they can see if you fall back into your coma or not.
You understand that it was their job, but you felt like you needed to leave as soon as possible.
A sigh escapes your lips as you watch the clock tick away, absently thinking about how similar this room was to Ace's when he was in the hospital. You stop the Nurse before she leaves.
"How long was I out?" You ask her and she gives you a sad smile.
"Two months..." She says before turning and leaving the room. Your jaw drops a bit and you look at the two boys next to you. They waited for you for two months. Law has been missing for two months. Sabo has been with those bastards for two months.
You needed to get out, but you knew they wouldn't let you.
With a sigh you lean back and try to relax, although your mind wondered to Law and your third child.
"I miss them..." You sigh again, looking to your right as Ace turns over onto his side, facing away from you. You pat the top of his head, running your fingers through his hair as you look down towards your left. Almost as if on cue Luffy lets out a loud snore and stretches out his hands, one arm falling off the bed and the other almost punching your stomach.
You giggle a bit and pat his head with your left hand while turning back to the clock.
TICK TICK.
Almost as if it was moving slower, to taunt you and remind you that it will be a few days before they let you leave.
TICK TICK. Snore.
You glance at Luffy, who snored really loudly again. You giggle as you felt something move to your right.
"Why are you giggling so much..?" A sleepy angry Ace asks, glaring at you. You smile at him.
"Sorry did I make you?" You ask and he huffs.
"Yes." He says plainly, turning over onto his side facing you.
"So shush!" He hisses before closing his eyes. You start to giggle again, but stop when he opens his eyes and glares again.
"Sorry..!" You whisper as he punches your side, you see him smile a bit though before he snuggles into the pillow. Luffy rolls over and pulls the blanket off Ace.
Uh oh.
Ace opens his eyes and looks at you, but you look at Luffy who is still pulling the blankets. Ace growls a bit and grabs them and yanks it and it gets ripped off Luffy, who shivers a bit and feels around for it. He grabs the corner and yanks it and it gets pulled off Ace again. Ace sits up and glares at the boy who is snuggling the blanket.
"Dammit Luffy!" He yells, getting angrier when the boy doesn't wake up, but rather snores loudly in response.
"Ace..." You were about to tell him to calm down when he jumps across the bed on top of Luffy, which in turn wakes him up.
"You asshole stop taking all the blanket!" Ace yells standing up and pulling away the blanket.
"But I'm coooold!" Luffy yells, pulling the blanket back towards him. You started laughing and the two of them stop and stare at you.
"What..?" The both said together, but you just keep laughing, unaware someone has entered the room.
"I missed you two..!" You said, wiping a tear from your eye. You hear someone chuckle and you look up to see Whitebeard.
"Oh..." You said, instantly falling silent as Ace grins and runs up to the old man.
"Pops!" He says jumping off the bed and onto the man, who just laughs.
"I wondered why you didn't come back last night." He says, sitting down on couch at the foot of the bed. Ace looked so tiny compared to the huge man.
"She woke up right when I was leaving!" Ace says, a huge grin on his face. Whitebeard hums a bit and glances over at you. Luffy was talking to you while waving his arms around dramatically as he spoke. You were giggling at the faces the boy was making. Ace frowns at Luffy when he mentions something Ace did at school.
"It wasn't my fault!" Ace says defensively as he crosses his arms, glaring at his brother who just grins back at him.
"Well if you didn't punch him a few days before I don't think he'd have attacked you!" Luffy says while laughing. Ace jumps onto the bed and tackled Luffy, the both of them wrestle around a bit, falling onto the floor next to the bed. You would have told them to stop if you could just stop laughing.
Eventually Whitebeard clears his throat, making your chuckles die down as you look over at him. You then look back at the boys and lean over the bed ad grab Ace, picking him up and hugging him.
"He-Hey!" He says, turning his head around and glaring at you. Luffy stands up and sticks his tongue out at Ace who glares at him.
"Settle down, your in a hospital." You said as both boys look at you and both of them huff and cross their arms. You sigh, they normally stopped fighting by now normally Sabo- oh...
You frown sadly at this thought, both boys notice and look at each other a bit confused. You then smile at them when you notice their confused looks.
"Nothing..." You sigh a bit.
"Liar." Both boys say together and you smile widens a bit.
"I miss Sabo." You said truthfully and both boys get an 'Oh' look on their face before frowning a bit. Luffy looks really sad but Ace looks angry.
"I'd have gone and got him by now if I could leave.." You sigh again.
"Would they give him back..?" Whitebeard muses and you frown at him.
"They have no choice, legally." You said and the man raises a brow.
"They've been doing things legally have they?" He says and your frown deepens.
"Then I won't play legally anymore." You said smoothly, your voice turning icy. The old man laughs, Luffy jumps a bit at the volume of his voice.
"You'll fight them?" He asks, watching your expression.
"Yep!" You said with a smirk taking over your lips. Ace smirks and Luffy laughs and grins.
"I'll kick their ass for what they've done..." You said, your voice turning icy again.
