Be Mine

Try to Understand

The night sky full of stars, the light of the moon shining down on the Sunny. Nami sits at the helm looking up at the stars, she smiles. Now night time, everyone lay asleep. Zoro in his room with the triplets. The guys in the men's quarters, Robin and Sanji in the kitchen. Luffy tried to find out why Nami and Sanji are not talking to each other but soon decided to let it go. It will solve itself sooner or later.

Nami turns to Robin as she walks to her with a cup of coffee and her thermostat in her other hand. Nami grabs her cup and breaths in the smell. She takes a sip, then sighs and smiles. Robin sits next to her. "So who wants to start?" Nami asks. Robin opens her eyes then looks over to Nami.

"I'll start." She turns her whole body towards Nami. "He say he's giving Sanji some space. He feels like he has forced him into their relationship."

"Whatever their relationship is. Is that all?" Nami looks over to Robin. She nods. "That seems sudden. I mean Sanji told me Zoro has asked him if he wants to be involved, and he does, so what changed?"

"It's not just that, he's not sleeping in the same room as Zoro anymore. He sleeps in the men's quarters."

"Really? Just months ago Sanji moved some of his clothes in Zoro's room. And when Zoro got Chopper's permission to fight with us, Sanji seemed to have been turned on by Zoro. What happened?"

"What happened with you and Sanji? When I walked in it seems like you were both arguing. At lunch and dinner you both were very awkward with each other, not talking or looking at each other, what happened?"

"Ug, don't remind me. I get mad just thinking about it."

"Well?"

"First he doesn't even notice that Zoro has been distant and when Chopper came in to tell Sanji about the check up he forgot."

"So did Zoro."

"Yeah but it's understandable with Zoro. He spent almost eight months not training, and right now he's trying to focus on getting back to where he was eight months ago. It's not going to be easy. And for the past five months Sanji has always taken care of the triplets on rotation with Zoro but this month he hasn't. Sanji didn't even want to stop cooking so he could be there for the triplets check up, saying 'Zoro will tell me if somethings wrong' like he doesn't care anymore."

"What, he has always been present for the triplets check ups even staying to hear the result for Zoro's check up."

"I know, what happened? Everything seemed to have finished and be completed. They both seemed to want each other and now they dont."

"It doesn't seem like a coincidence."

"Are you sure I can't meddle?"

"And make something worse. What if your plan makes Sanji want to quit, or worse makes Zoro take the triplets and leave." Nami looks at her then down at her cup of coffee.

"Yea, I guess you're right. So, what do we do now?"

"We help Zoro, if what you said about Sanji not helping him then he needs all the help he can get." Nami nods. They continue to drink their coffee and talk. Zoro lay peacefully on his side of the bed while the triplets lay on what was Sanji's side of the bed. He moved some pillows so they won't fall off the bed. Sanji lays on his bed in the men's quarters.

"I can't believe how fast the triplets are growing." Nami says breaking the silence between her and Robin.

"It's like yesterday I found he was pregnant."

"That reminds me, you knew before we did, when Sanji punched Zoro you went to Zoro's side. How did you find out?"

"It was when we were attacked by some marines, Zoro began to fight like usual but then Chopper came in to protect him. He dragged Zoro behind the kitchen. I used my devil fruit to listen on their conversation."

"Really," Nami gets interested. "Do you do that all the time?" As a response Robin just smiles. Nami took that as a yes. "I really hope they figure out what ever the problem is. The five of them together smiling and giggling seemed like so long ago."

"Let's give Sanji some space to figure things out he obviously has something on his mind if he's pushing his family away."

"Family?" Nami questions looking over at Robin then back at her cup of coffee, "I guess you're right like always. Once he figures things out I'm making him pay." Nami says holding up a fist. It's not just the girls but everyone wanted the five of them to be together. There were times where the crew wouldn't disturb Sanji and Zoro while they are with the babies. Sanji would have one baby in his arm while he sits next to Zoro who breastfed another one and the last one would be on its back looking up or maybe taking a nap. There were other times where Sanji and Zoro lay them on the grassy deck and look at them together while laughing at the faces the babies made, then compare the baby face to each other. When these moments happened everyone just stared and let those moments happen between those two. Luffy is the only one who didn't understand this and would sometimes walk up to them complaining, or try to not getting far before Nami or Usopp smacked him telling him not to disturb them. Even Robin would smack him if he got to close to the family.

"What are you guys doing up?" Franky says walking up to them.

"I'm on night watch." Robin says.

"I'm just here to keep Robin company. What are you doing up I thought you went to sleep?"

"I was making plans for something I'm planning on making for the triplets. I also plan on making more renovations to the Sunny for the triplets so I came out to make some last minute measurements."

"For what?"

"You'll see." Franky says walking back out. Nami and Robin look at each other.

"I wonder what he's making now?" Robin drinks some coffee.

"Since the babies came he's been working none stop on the Sunny."

"He does need to make it safe."

"I know but once the triplets grow they won't need all that stuff so where are we going to put everything? What he should do is make a storage on the Sunny."

"Maybe he will. But I think he should save up his money. Imagine Luffy and triplets."

"You're right again. I don't want to but I can see it. Luffy plus triplet equals trouble. No doubt they'll break something." Nami slumps down putting her hand over her face. She begins to rub her forehead.  She suddenly sits up. "Maybe they won't act like that. Maybe they will be taking naps all day, or help in the kitchen."

"Maybe, we'll have to wait and see." Robin smiles.
