WHO AM I? (2) (SHANKS X READER)

Chapter twenty-seven

Two months had passed and my baby boy is now laying beside me, after many painful hours of labor.

I smiled softly holding his little hand in mine. Shanks ran in with y/n following behind him “Hey!!!” shanks grinned excitedly “Shut up, the baby’s sleeping” y/n glared at shanks “How are you feeling?” she added looking at you “tired, extremely” you sighed as you looked at them “What are you gonna name him?” smiled shanks “I thought about it a lot and decided… Kai, his name is gonna be Kai” you chuckled “Kai…” shanks mumbled looking down “his grandpa’s name? “ Y/n smiled “yeah, you see. When I finally found out how to talk with anybody through the dream world, I talked with my shanks and we agreed on that name” you grinned “Oh, you finally got it? Took you long enough, you have a week to find a schedule for your training and to regain your strength. Come on let’s go and let her rest” y/n said as she pushed shanks out of the room and closed the door behind her.

“Don’t worry baby, I won’t let her hurt you…” you said coldly now glaring at the closed door.

“Why did you agree to her staying here?” questioned shanks “It’s an easy thing to answer” y/n smirked as her eyes grew cold “If she wants to keep her child safe from Akainu then let her do it. Why do I lose my child and she don’t?! I will kill her child instead of Akainu. She’s too naïve to suspect anything at all, once she lets her guard down. I’ll kill him” she added laughing “You can’t do that! She’ll be hurt!” shanks protested but her glare shut him up “Didn’t you say that you’ll be with me through everything? Why are you protesting to my idea?” she asked coldly “Because the y/n I love won’t do something like this! The y/n I know and love isn’t like this!” he shouted as he stared at her “Oh? But people change, I changed. And the world change as well, get moving” she grinned as she looked down “you’re separating a woman and her child. You’re killing a defenseless kid! Did you lose your mind?” he frowned “you’re the one who needs to get moving. If you do your plan, you better prepare to sign a divorce” he added as he turned around and left the room.

You looked at your baby as he started kicking and giggling “hi, baby. How are you~” you cooed and Kai laughed “I’m alright~” you smiled as you picked him up and put him on your laps “Welcome to the world! Where I’ll protect you with my whole life~” you grinned as he put his little hands on your stomach “You know, if papa was here he’d be crying from how happy he is” you chuckled as you teared up “I miss him so much, but you’ll keep me company right?” You smiled your lips quivering as a few tears slipped from your eyes, Kai begun crying as well which made you panic “Oh no! Baby, don’t cry! Mama’s got you!” you chuckled as you begun cradling him in your arms “Uhhh, stop crying” you whined as you begun crying as well.

Shanks entered the room and looked at you both “like mother like son” he sighed and put him hand on his waist almost in a disappointed manner “Help! I don’t know how to make him stop crying” you sniffled as you looked at him “No fucking way, you’re kidding right?” He laughed while you both kept crying.

After long painful hours of you two crying together and shanks trying to calm you both. Kai finally fell asleep “Finally, I swear you’re way worst than Kai. And he’s the newborn here” he mumbled “Hey! I get emotional easily!” you pouted crossing your arms “listen.. I.. I want to warn you… y/n.. is planning to kill kai when you let your guard down, I don’t want anything to happen to him. So stay cautious” he said stuttering a bit “I know” you sighed as you looked down “I heard you two talking about it” you added, he looked at you shocked and then looked down “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I don’t know what suddenly got in her… she used to be so sweet, kind, gentle… now she’s just…” he sighed and you could feel the sad aura around him, you got up from the bed and walked over to him although you were in immense pain “Look at me” you ordered standing in front of him, shanks looked up slowly and stared in your eyes.

You raised your hand and slapped him with all your might then hugged him tightly “Shut up and don’t apologize to me. It’s not your fault at all” you sighed “W-why?” he questioned as he stood stiffly

“Did you make the plan?”

“No!”

“Did you agree to it?”

“No!”

“Do you have to apologize for something you have Nothing to do with?”

“…no..”

“Exactly, so don’t apologize” you sighed as you let go of him and went back to your bed.

The past four months were hectic, balancing between being a mother and training was really hard but you managed.

You got stronger and stronger each passing day and everyone could see it. You were almost at the same strength level as your past self.

You were now in your room cradling your child while saying random things to him “We’re gonna go see papa soon! Are you excited baby!” you smiled excitedly and the reply you got was random blabbering from the child “yes! Your daddy will be happy when he see you! I bet he’ll get very emotional and we’ll end up crying! All three of us!” you laughed and he laughed as well “Now you’re 4 months old.. he’ll scold me..“ you mumbled as you nuzzled your nose in his chubby cheeks “You’re just too cute! I can’t control myself” you said dramatically “Come on~ let’s go see the sea!” you chuckled walking out of the room skipping in your steps going to the deck.

You stood on the deck and looked at the setting sun, signaling the end of another day without your husband. “So Kai, do you like the sun like mama? Or do you prefer the moon like papa?” you smiled “You look like a replica of your papa you know. You only have my eyes” you chuckled as you poked his cheek “you talk a lot with your baby don’t you think?” Y/n laughed “yeah. He makes me feel less lonely” you answered without turning around and you wished you did when you felt something Peirce through your back.

Blood escaped your mouth and you glared at her “What the fuck?” you asked as you kneeled on your knees “You’re not leaving this place alive” she said coldly and when you looked at her eyes you noticed something different “Dominic” you mumbled glaring at y/n who was being controlled by her devil fruit “Oh? Guess you’re smarter than I thought” he chuckled “And you’re dumber than I thought” you grinned as a light begun surrounding you and Kai “See you never sucker” you smiled as you disappeared from his view.

You breathed heavily as you coughed blood once you teleported back to your timeline. You sat on ground and bit your lip as you took the sword out of your back. Kai was crying and trashing around very hard, you cradled him in your arms as you started healing slowly “hushh baby~ we’re alright! Mama is fine..” you chuckled “Thank god I didn’t faint right away… but I’m so tired” you mumbled as you sighed.

Kai’s crying eased and you stood up shakily, you looked around and noticed that you were in an alley.

You walked out of it and immediately realized where you were “Oh fuck me… “
