Ok, so I read the manga for wholecake island, so if I make any mistake in the order of events or such, just go with the flow 😂. Also I don't wanna put in too many spoilers for those of you avoiding them. So without further ado, let us continue on...
"Congratulations miss, you are 10 weeks pregnant" the dr smiled at me as I sat in the Germa infirmary. "Thank you" I smiled
"Would you like me to inform Judge?" He asked
"No, I would like to keep it secret until it's born, I would like you to also keep it secret. You know as a little surprise for everyone" I hastily added
"Sure thing miss" he replied before giving me guidelines on how to care for its health. I absorbed the information before heading off for dinner. Everyone was rather chatty today, "it's been a long time now hasn't it, sanji" judge said. I glanced up not even noticing him at the table. His blonde hair swept over one side, and having the Germa signature curly brow on show. He didn't speak much but he looked towards me, I offered a polite smile as we continued to dine. I was rather put off by Yonji and Niji's insults. That's when Ichiji spoke up , "sanji, you're a failure" he said, smirk adorning his face.
I looked at him so fast I thought my head would fly off. I was about to say something when laughter erupted at the table. 'Ok I knew Germa were a bit mad, but this is unnecessary' I thought.
"Sanji, I'm looking forward to your wedding, hopefully she'll be a lovely bride for you" I smiled as I raised my voice over the now dying laughter. "Thank you" he said. Almost on cue, Niji began arguing with our chef Colette, it begun getting heated. I pondered over everything I could do, which at this point was rather minimal. I heard a shriek as I was thrown back into the situation as Niji threw a plate at her. "Duck!" I called out, but in an instant sanji was there holding the plate. The argument between him and Niji remained heated before it dispersed swiftly. With all of us leaving dinner. I walked beside Ichiji as we walked into our room. I huffed slightly thinking of the audacity Niji had to actually hit a lady! That could have been me at some point, well actually now that I think of it, he already has, a shudder ran down my back thinking of the occasion. I glanced at Ichiji, sighing. How would I tell him, then again it didn't bring good news, though it was. I frowned thinking of all those romance novels had all the various ways they told their partner, and the happiness. I looked towards him as he pulled off his sunglasses. He went out to sit on the balcony, we were to reach big moms kingdom soon, most likely the following morning. The weather outside was warm with a cooling breeze that smelt a tad sweet, quite strange. I decided to change quickly into a black vest and pyjamas before joining him outside. He had his head resting on his hand, slightly tilted looking out to sea.
"You did not like what I said today, did you?" He murmured. I glanced at him, trying to recall on what occasion he meant, "at dinner" he added
"Yeah, I didn't" I said looking down and then at him, his eyes watching me before he let out a sigh. "I hate him Ren, you cannot blame me for this" he said head turning to watch me. "You're brothers Ichiji, you're family, family shouldn't hate eachother, maybe you two can patch things up" I said. He watched me in disbelief
"Path things up, we were never patched to begin with" he scoffed
"Maybe nows the time!" I said smiling. He sighed again looking at me, I reached out grabbing his hand and holding it gently, "I know you can do it, you're stronger than that. You can form a bond that was never there to begin with, like you did with me" I said. He watched me before throwing his head back looking at the stars, he was silent for a few moments. "Yes, however there's a huge difference between you and him...I will try, but i am not going out of my way" he said looking away, a slight blush on his cheeks.
"You can do it, I believe in you!" I grinned.
We sat outside for a while in silence, holding hands, his thumb gently rubbing the back of my hand. Listening to the sounds of the crashing waves. I was thinking of how to get the topic right, before groaning in annoyance. He looked at me, "you okay?" He asked
I looked at him, "you're gonna be a dad" I smiled. He sat there for s few moments, the words sinking into his brain, before the largest grin I've ever seen on his face appeared. I laughed as he stood embracing me. "How long?" He asked
"10 weeks along now, the dr said" I said burying my face into his neck.
"Hmm, you are not showing yet, you will be able to leave without attracting anyones attention" he said, his hand resting over my head stroking it gently. I pouted looking up at him "forget that for now, tell me how you feel now, how you would be if we wouldn't be in this situation" I said looking at him.
