Red Hair's Daughter

Telling Shanks

Makino and I giggled happily. Dad would be home at any minute and we were both excited to tell him. Makino had a perfect plan to tell him and I was going to video tape it. I'd show the video to my little brother or sister when they were old enough. I was so excited and happy.

Finally, Dad came home. I was just chilling on the couch, pretending to be browsing Wattpad on my phone.

"Hey, Daddy." I said as he walked in.

"Hey, baby girl. Where's Makino?" He asked.

"She's in the kitchen." I said. He nodded and headed for the kitchen. I turned on my camera and followed him in to the kitchen.

"Hey, Makino. Feeling better, love?" He asked. She nodded and he kissed her cheek. She smiled at him and nodded at me as he went to start making lunch.

"So, I found this cute shirt for Aisuru, and I want your opinion." She said. Dad grabbed a package of pasta, reading the instructions on the back.

"Oh, yeah? What is it?" He asked.

"It says "world's best big sister" on it." She said. Dad nodded.

"Why would you want to get that for Aisuru, she's not a-" Dad stopped. He dropped the package and turned to look at us, his eyes wide. I grinned at Dad and Makino handed him the pregnancy test.

"You're-?!" He asked, looking between the test and Makino. She giggled and nodded. Dad dropped the test and kissed Makino. I giggled.

"We're having a baby!" He laughed. I smiled. He hugged Makino tightly. He began to kiss her all over her face.

"I'm gonna be a father again! I love you. I love you so much." Dad said. I turned off the camera and put my phone back in my pocket and hugged Dad and Makino.

"I'm gonna be a big sister!" I said. Dad laughed and pulled me closer. Dad looked in to Makino's eyes.

"You just keep filling my life with blessings. I love you so much." He said and kissed her again.

"I love you, too. Both of you." She said. I hugged my parents happily. For the rest of the day, all Dad wanted to do was cuddle with Makino. I giggled at them and wondered if Dad reacted the same way when Hope told him about me.

I pulled out my phone and texted Law and Aka.

Me: the test came back positive. Makino is pregnant. I'm going to be a big sister!

Aka: YEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Law: congratulations

I smiled and went to watch Lindsey Stirling videos on my laptop in my bedroom.

Shanks's POV

I lounged back in the couch with Makino in my arms. She rested her head on my chest while my hand rested on her stomach where our child grew.

"Do we know how far along you are?" I asked excitedly. She giggled up at me.

"I think I'm about three months." She said. I grinned.

"You could take a DNA test to find out the gender of the baby! We'll know if we'll have a baby boy or a baby girl!" I said and hugged her tight. Makino giggled at me and kissed my jaw.

"You are so adorable. Maybe the DNA test will be your Christmas present." She hummed. I grinned and kissed her forehead.

"I don't need anything for Christmas. I have everything I could ever want out of life. I have a house, my beautiful daughter, the woman of my dreams as my wife and now another baby on the way." I said. She smiled up at me.
