The carriage arrived at the port and Sabo helped you out of it. He led you up to a large cruise ship, fancier than anything you had been in, in a long time.

"I didn't know about the baby, but it's fine, I had bought three first class tickets for you, your grandmother and I. It should still work as Rouge does not need a ticket anyway." Sabo said. "I'm glad that I got first class, now you can travel comfortably."

"Oh, thank you for your consideration." You said gratefully. "You can call her Nana."

Nana nodded in agreement.

A bellhop appeared to take your bags, you did not have much, only one bag with your clothes and books, and a smaller one carried by Nana which contained Rouge's clothes, nappies for her to change into later as well as bottles of milk. He bowed down deeply to you, no doubt thinking that you were important nobles. You were led into the ship, and were sat comfortably in your balcony room. It was great, there was a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a safe box, minifridge, and an ensuite bathroom that was small but pleasant.

"How long until we reach our destination?" You asked Sabo.

"We will arrive in Jyro Island in four days. After that we'll get on my ship which will take us to our destination in one day." He replied.

You did not ask what the final destination was, and honestly, you did not care at all as long as you were safe. You knew that as long as you were with him, you would be safe. For some reason unknown to you, Sabo made you feel safe.

"I'm going to get a doctor to check on you, you are still feeling poorly, right?" Sabo asked concerned.

"Don't worry about me." You said. He looked over at Nana for confirmation.

"She'll be fine, she heals quickly. I'm more worried about Rouge, she was born prematurely. I'm just a nurse so I did everything I could to make sure she was okay, but, she's been breathing heavily, and I'm worried about her." Nana said.

"You think something's wrong with Rouge?" You asked alarmed.

"I just want to be sure that nothing's wrong." Nana told you.

"I understand. I'll bring the doctor here at once." Sabo said moving out of the room quickly. He returned a few minutes later with a young female doctor carrying medical supplies. "This is her."

The doctor moved up to you, who was holding your baby tightly. "I'm Doctor Filmore, I would like to examine you, Madam, and your baby. Is that alright?" She asked. You looked at Sabo for reassurance, and he nodded.

"Okay." You said cautiously.

"Now, what is your name and this pretty little baby's name?"

"I am (Fake name (F/N)) and this is Rouge." You said.

"I see. Well, your husband said your nurse delivered the baby, is that her?" Dr. Filmore asked.

You blinked, husband? Oh, well, you supposed it was the easiest disguise for Sabo to say he was travelling with his wife and daughter along with her nurse.

"Ah, yes, that's me." said Nana. The doctor started examining Rouge and putting down notes in her file.

"How far along was the pregnancy?" she asked.

"Seven and a half months." you told her. "Is something wrong?"

"Not really. It's just her lungs weren't completely developed when she was born, but she doesn't have neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, just that she produces a lot less surfactant than required, that's why she breathes heavily." The doctor told you.
