Affirming a Little Miracle

A/N: Whenever health is at a low, my inner Victorian writing motivation comes out 😂 I thought to finish this piece I started at the dentist's yesterday, as I was feeling a little sentimental about the period where Ross was born in my self-ship story. Oh! and an advance thank you to those who read this! ❤️🌹

WC: 1,408 Warnings: Baby, children, mentions of pregnancy/postpartum

Phytoplankton make the twinkling twilight that trickled into the Polar Tang’s portholes, in place of holiday lights that many enjoyed ashore. New Years was a few days away and a good number of Hearts opted to stay up into the late hours preparing for celebrations and brainstorming resolutions that may or may not be successfully fulfilled. However, they were mindful to keep the clamor and ruckus to a minimum, knowing that their captain and strategist were resting from another day of caring for their week-old infant.

“Ross grabbed my finger today. I think that means I’m his favorite uncle!” Shachi proudly declared, unaware that the smug sparkles surrounding him were visible to the crewmates.

Ikkaku lightly scoffed, “You kept poking his cheek, so that was probably his way of telling his ‘favorite uncle’ to stop bothering him.”

“Hey, now listen here—”

“Didn’t Ross immediately let go after seeing Captain enter the room and started fussing to be picked up? It’s like he wanted his dad to get away,” Penguin snickered.

“Not you too…” Shachi scowled, before Bepo brought a finger to his lips in a chiding gesture.

“Shhhh! You’ll wake them, guys!”

Unbeknownst to them, their captain was well awake in his quarters, but for a different reason.

An urge akin to a child needing to go back into the cookie jar for seconds, roused Law from sleep to look at his new baby. A smile crosses the surgeon’s features beholding his newborn son sleeping soundly in the little bassinet saturated in pure undisturbed innocence. Law quietly gasped and the world stood still when the babe cooed from the depths of bonny dreams his mother weaved for him. Nothing was sufficient to describe the overwhelming love washing over him in continuous waves looking at his small son, and in that moment, he thought of Cora-san and wondered if this feeling was the ‘love,’ that drove him to save Law as a child years ago, despite all odds. It must surely have been that same feeling, if not further amplified, because when he reached down to wipe a little drool from the corner of his son’s mouth and looked at the woman who began shifting in their bed at the absence of his warmth, he knew that he’d give anything and everything to protect what he had. 

“Mein schatz…are you having trouble sleeping?” Michelle groggily props herself on her elbows. Her expression changed from concern to delight, seeing Law kneeling beside Ross, like a sentinel…or a father who couldn’t get enough of his child. 

“No, not at all,” he whispers, returning to their bed with a kiss to the heart of her palm, “It might sound crazy, but I was making sure this family…our family wasn’t just a dream.”

A content sigh escapes Michelle, accompanying her fingers that tenderly traced her husband’s features in the darkness. “Only the mad can make miracles happen…and we’re both a little on that scale,” she laughs in quiet confidence as to not wake their baby, “I can confirm as the Dream Reaver that this isn’t a dream and that Ross’ cuteness isn’t either.” 

Busted. But maybe it wasn’t a surprise, since the couple spent the past week doting on their newborn and using any opportunity to get a glance of Ross and his chubby alabaster cheeks. The baby took after his father in terms of looks, save for the beauty mark under his left eye, but the spirit of wonder that colored his eyes whenever he’d glance around the world in piqued curiosity was characteristic of his mother.

“Good to have your confirmation,” Law lightly grins, settling himself under the blankets to wrap his arms around his wife from behind, “Funny that the Dream Reaver stole a dream I buried deep inside of me and yanked it into reality.”

“I don’t only look into dreams to conjure nightmares, you know. Remember, you gave me permission to explore your mind, so it wasn’t a violent yank,” she hums, causing him to bury his face into her shoulder to contain a laughter welling in his chest.

“How could I forget?” Law remarks in bemused sarcasm, before pondering a question he had for some time, “Did you anticipate being the one to bring what you saw in me into reality?”

The investigator opened her mouth, then closed it, wishing to find the right words and mode of expression to her husband’s question. She looked into an undefined indigo space, softly smiling when she heard her son yawn, before her feelings put themselves in line for her to express.

“At first…I observed people’s dreams strictly as a watcher. I never thought that I’d directly play a part in being someone’s dream. Until I grew close to you,” Michelle whispers with vulnerable honesty, reflecting Law in her eyes, “Before I knew it, despite trying to not to get my hopes up, I wanted to be a part of your life and I will always be thankful that you let me in.”

The luminescence of the deep outside the submarine intensified in both variety and color, being further submerged, but the couple could only focus on how the gentle light illuminated their slumbering baby.

“I should be telling you that, Mi Xao…for trusting me and loving me for us to get to this point,” the surgeon murmurs, entwining their fingers together that laid outstretched towards the bassinet. Faint music, most likely from the crew experimenting with a playlist for New Years, began reaching their room and something about the peaceful stillness made Law beckon Michelle to turn her head to face him, so he could kiss her. It was gentle and it was tender, as if whatever gratitude they could not express was dropped in every peck and cherished caress.

“Law…you are going to make me selfish for you, if you keep spoiling me like this throughout my postpartum stages. I want to set a good example for our baby,” Michelle jokes in between meeting her lips with his. 

Law only sighed and continued his affectionate assault on his wife’s lips, before moving his barrages around her face, “It’s my recommendation, as your doctor, that you spend as much time with me as possible, so you can fully recover. You don’t have to feel guilty about being selfish, anyways. I’d rather you be more selfish when it comes to us, because I won’t let you or Ross go for anything. It’s always been you and has to be you.”

A long breath escapes Michelle, as the cathartic joy of her husband’s words and caresses penetrated and warmed her heart. Turning in Law’s embrace so she could face him, the investigator wrapped her slender arms around his neck and whispered a piece of her wedding vows into his ear, “It will never be anyone else, but you, that I entrust my life and heart to,” which instinctively moved him strengthened his grip on her hand. 

Somewhere between touches of affirmation and whispered conversations, the pair fell asleep again, until Ross began to fuss a little before dawn, feeling quite hungry for his mother’s milk, which Michelle was more than glad to oblige, despite a little grogginess. Thankfully, Law made sure to prepare their room with baby items and have a towel on hand, so after Ross finished feeding, he immediately picked the infant up to burp him, so he wouldn’t have any pain or discomfort in his stomach later on.

Michelle giggled hearing the little ‘urp,’ from her son and remarked to Law that it seemed that Ross didn’t so far adopt her old habit of throwing up while being burped, which made her husband sigh in relief, but told her not to jinx it.

Ross seemed to still be awake after feeding with a wish to cuddle with his parents, so Law and Michelle opted to have him lay with them, atop of his mother, with his father’s protective hand on the small of his back. 

“We make a good team don’t we?” the investigator smiled at her husband.

“We always have,” the surgeon grinned, with a peck to her nose.

Ross seemed to affirm that assertion with a little gurgle of his own, causing his parents to almost break from the sheer adorableness. So long as he was a content baby, he’d continue to agree with his parents, and fortunately, Law and Michelle did everything in their power to make sure that he was well taken care of.

💙A capture of the Dec. 23rd when Ross was born

💙 His 1st lullaby would be Maria durch ein’ Dornwald ging (Mary Walks Through a Wood of Thorns)—a song that holds deep memories for his father, as he was born near Christmas Day (Rosi most definitely saved this moment in his album & laminated it @jazminetoad 😂)

OC Templates Batch 1

(Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time, 2nd attempt at posting, I am so sorry)

Thank you @the-witch-of-one-piece for sharing the “My OC as…” template with me for anyone who’d like to do it, the template is HERE & you can use programs like Procreate, Clip Studio, Photoshop, or Photopea (which is free) to do it!

In order are Michelle, the Trafalgar kids (as adults: Ross, Lamia, Lukas), and Vincent’s. Finding songs was hard, as I was debating whether to put the kids’ favorite Vietnamese lullaby Michelle would sing them as infants or the songs they currently have, & I went with the latter. Song links below:

Killing My Dreams - Elysion

Souretsu - breakin’ holiday

Ngay Mua Tuyet - Anh Minh

Waiting On the Sky to Change - Starset ft. Breaking Benjamin

Point of No Return - ARIA

I felt it’s been awhile since I drew the little ones & this is something fun depicting them with an object related to their future trade ❤️🌹

If you look closely at the jolly roger, the motif in the back depicts 3 roses as a nod to their mother & coincidentally alludes to the 3 of them. And yes, their names are sewn on their clothes & there is some custom-embroidery going on for them, given how their parents are 😂

Am I jumping from epic to wholesome art in 1 day? Yes

Trafalgar D. Ross Profile

Name: Trafalgar D. Ross (Rosinante)

Birthday: December 23rd

Height: 6'4" (adult)

Favorite Foods: Clam Chowder, Pida, Lam Cheong (Chinese Sausage)

Least Favorite Food: Tripe

Occupation (Aside from Piracy): Investigator taking after his mother's trade. Onboard researcher

Hobbies: Reading mysteries, playing with his mother's finger-duster, reenacting book/comic/show scenes with his father, watching Sora and Octonauts, playing in the Dreamscape, practicing martial arts with his father, solving hidden object games and riddles, etc.

Abilities:

All 3 Haki

Talents for Finding Things & Looking at Many Perspectives

Krav Maga

Affinity for teaching others things

Shuang Jian (double straight sword style)

Nagi-Nagi no Mi (Rosinante’s devil fruit); Ross unlocks it’s combative assests on top it’s espionage abilities, as ‘silencing’ could extend to ‘silencing’ the nerve signals in an opponent. When worked in conjunction with the Ope-Ope or Yume-Yume no Mi or imbued within his jian-swords, it can be lethal

Appearance: Ross takes after Law in looks with his sharp features and steel gray eyes, save for a beauty mark under his left eye. As an adult, he has 3/4 part bangs and black shoulder length hair that is layered to frame his face.

Personality: He takes more after Michelle in this respect, with being the first one to step in and clarify the bigger picture for people. He is calm, inquisitive, but also extremely imaginative and often creates imaginary scenarios for he and his siblings, Lamia and Lukas, to play with. At times, he would rather help or orchestrate things from the shadows, but will internally blush if his efforts are acknowledged. He deeply cares for his siblings, although he can be stiff with people he does not yet fully know; however he has a kind heart and honors even the most mundane clover on the floor. As a child, he is very curious and likes to make tokens for people he cares about, whether it be a bouquet or a drawing. There are times when his eyes light up with adrenaline and bloodlust in an intense situation, and in those instances he adopts his mother’s knowing grin and his father’s exacting style in combat. At times, when he feels inclined to play along with conversations or making comebacks, he has a lot of quips and snark he learned from his parents and Michelle’s novels that can win him any flyting game or end any argument. More often than not, he is the listening shoulder for his siblings and they deeply care for him too.

Parent's Commentary

M: Our eldest child becomes everyone's big brother to whomever he meets, although he can be aloof. He truly was a blessing to my and Law's lives after the incident at Hairong, my hometown, and we love him with all of our hearts. He was a miracle that showed us that after everything we've been through with our dead ends of fate, we were able to create something even more powerful than any 'ROOM' or 'Dreamscape' we can make. I still think about how he gathered Lamia and Lukas by the windows and started teaching them about the ocean and creatures that lived out there. He is such a great storyteller too, that the kids often come to me asking if I could make whatever was in Ross’ imagination in my Dreamscape for them to play in.

L: I never thought that I would make it this far to find someone who I could share my life with, no less having a child. A pirate's life is dangerous and I was...afraid...to lose something precious to me again, but seeing how Michelle was just as determined to protect what we had, I knew I wouldn't want anyone else to have a family with. Delivering Ross was momentous for me and I'll never forget the first time he wrapped his fingers on mine. It was like I was seeing Cora-san again after so long. Growing up, he often imitates my and Michelle’s calls for our devil fruit fields and asked when he could get his own devil fruit so he could protect the Heart Pirates like us (chuckles). Michelle and I were at first alarmed, but seeing how much he wanted one, we taught him the consequences of having one and the different types out there. Who knew that he would inherit Cora-san’s fruit. (gently smiles) And he uses it to help his younger siblings sleep when the have trouble.

[scalpelandrose]

Lamia likes doing her hair in double buns, since it makes it looks as if she has Bepo’s ears. Being a daddy’s girl, her favorite ribbons are ones that match Law’s hat, or the “bestest most warmest thing in the whole wide world,” in her words ❤️ After Michelle showed Law how to make the hairstyle, he picked up the technique quite fast, being a surgeon with precise fingers, so from then on, father & daughter can be seen sitting on the floor of his office, in the medic bay during her check-ups, or in his chair trying out different ribbons or accessories, while he helps her review concepts he’s taught her that week, as she wants to be a doctor like her dad ❤️🌹🩺

-> (This was my learning-curve experiment drawing for Procreate, since I got an iPad as a late grad gift ✨Plus I had a conundrum with Law’s eye color, so I mixed both gold & grey, bc I frankly cannot decide which is better, with him being a paragon of badass attractiveness 😤)

Trafalgar D. Lamia Profile

Name: Trafalgar D. Lamia

Birthday: September 5th

Height: 5’7” (adult)

Favorite Foods: Gyros, croissants, udon

Least Favorite Food: Taro

Occupation (Aside from Piracy): Doctor taking after her father’s trade. Onboard surgical assistant

Hobbies: Reading Law’s medical journals and books, playing with Ross (who she called ‘Ro’ as a toddler), collecting stamps from each island, sewing, running ‘diagnostics’ for the crew & her mother to ‘report’ back to her dad, sparring with her brothers, practicing applying game theory with her mother, tea parties with her stuffed plague doctor, snow leopard plush, and her family, studying about history and fantastical creatures

Abilities:

All 3 Haki

Krav Maga

Medical savvy allows for healing & precise striking

Can quickly understand maps and structures

Adept at using the liuye dao (willow-leaf saber)

Appearance: Lamia possesses Law’s nose and eye shape. She had gold amber eyes and has Michelle’s lips. Like both of her parents, she has black hair, which falls slightly above her waist with the front framing her face in a layered semi hime-cut.

Personality: As a child, Lamia was quite timid and could be found shyly holding Ross’ hand or hiding behind him when meeting new people; however, she slowly grew into her confidence with her parents’ gentle encouragements. Lamia is especially a daddy’s girl and has a talent for developing unconventional cures (she also goes forth to uncover a remedy for White Amber Lead Poisoning when she is older). Her ultimate goal in life is to find cures for initially ‘incurable’ illnesses against medical canon or what the World Govt. permits. She is practical and always open to lending a helping hand and goes out of her way to brighten the crew’s day by asking how they are doing and if there is something they need, so she can make something for them or report back to her parents for suggestions on the Polar Tang. There are moments in great excitement where she adopts her father’s signature smirk and her mother’s, “Hell yes,” in the heat of battle or high-energy situations, but usually she is modest with her expressions and the one to evaluate her brothers’ plans or actions.

-> More About: Ross | Lukas

Parent’s Commentary

M: Three years after Ross was born, Law and I decided that he should have a sibling to share his rich inner world with, and surely enough, just after his birthday Law and I discovered I was pregnant with Lamia. They both are such precocious children and she really brought another dimension of compassion and creativity out of Ross, as he began making more stories and imaginary scenarios for them to play in. It’s also adorable how she often peeks into Law’s office to be around him as he works, and I know he was clutching his heart seeing her reading his medical journals on her own volition. She really brings us all down to earth and reminds us of the small things in life we should always be grateful for, and there is not a day that goes by where I am not grateful for my family.

L: When I asked Michelle what names she had in mind after finding out we were having a girl, she immediately said, “Lamia” without a second thought, both for Lami and the meaning of ‘radiance.’ It was a moment that made me catch my breath, seeing a part of the people who I lost live on. Delivering her was easier than Ross, since we were more prepared, but I became anxious when she came out, because she wasn’t making a sound, until I realized she was sleeping. We both were relieved when she cried after a couple of pats. (reminiscing) Lamia continues to surprise us everyday. I remember the time she asked me if I could read her a bedtime story and pulled out one of my old journals she took from my office (chuckles) and she sometimes I catch her applying what I taught her on Ross or Bepo.

Trafalgar D. Lukas Profile

Name: Trafalgar D. Lukas

Birthday: May 15th

Height: 6'1"

Favorite Foods: Potstickers, Chicken Kiev, and Bread Pudding

Least Favorite Food: Okra

Occupation (Aside from Piracy): Historian. Onboard archivist and gunner

Hobbies: Painting things he sees outside of the Polar Tang, coloring books, listening to music from all over the map, playing with his older siblings (calls Ross, ‘Ro’ and Lamia, ‘Mia’ as a toddler) and dressing up as heroes in storybooks, looking at atlases and Michelle's history books for kids, petting Erebus (his mother’s raven), ripping down Wanted Posters and putting up the ones he made featuring Marine officers, doing mini-kid fashion shows with his siblings and modeling the clothes his mother made (and he designed)

Abilities:

All 3 Haki

Excellent marksmanship

Photographic memory

Krav Maga

Talented and creative with kunais

Appearance: Lukas possesses round chocolate eyes like Michelle, and Law's sideburns and nose bridge. He has black hair like his parents, with his bangs styled to be parted in the middle, falling slightly above the base of his neck.

Personality: Lukas is the youngest, but most outspoken out of his siblings and has no issue bluntly speaking his mind about things that he feels strongly about. He has a tendency to tease people that he is close to, which results in a word-competition between his siblings, though it never is obnoxious nor borderlines on rudeness. He has a great weakness for cute things and may drop what he is doing to go pet a puppy, though he is a person who completes his responsibilities (though sometimes last minute). He is extremely artistic and dabbles in many mixed media artforms, and sometimes gifts crewmates with a custom-painted cup or a painting to spruce up their cabin. Lukas is cunning, whereas Ross is strategic, and Lamia is practical. Lukas is usually the first to flash a menacing smirk against an opponent and has no problem letting a rain of kunais descend on anyone who hurts his family. He can be stubborn at times and refuse to retreat or withdraw from things. Knowing how his parents and older brother tend to overwork, he and Lamia usually bring water and remind them to take breaks.

->More About: Ross | Lamia

Parents’ Commentary:

M: Initially Law and I planned to have only two children, but after the crew took the kids out to a carnival island so we could have some time to ourselves, things got a little playful and intense. (amused laugh) Nevertheless, Lukas truly brought an energetic light to our family and often surprises Law with things he learned about distant lands and seas. I can’t count how many paintings and drawings I kept from him and Ross, along with Lamia’s embroidered napkins. Lukas honestly inspires everyone to let go and let their expressions bleed from them, and more often than not, it makes the whole family come together for a project. He told me his favorite past times were drawing with me and his siblings and doing the medical identification and crossword workbooks Law gives, because it’s like ‘coloring with words.’

L: (to Michelle with a curl of his lips) Hey, you asked if I wanted to play a game when we docked at that island and I took on your challenge. Delivering Lukas had little complications, although he often cried when he was away from us or Ross and Lamia, but it surprised me how he that seemed to recognize everyone’s voices when he was born. It didn’t take long for us to discover that he had a photographic memory. Sometimes when something goes missing on the Polar Tang or someone refuses to confess something they did, Ross is usually the first to investigate it and Lukas is always his best witness, with Lamia being his note-taker. Lukas can be blunt about his thoughts, especially to adults he doesn’t like, but I guess he gets that from me. He often asks if I have sketches of hearts lying around so he can color it, and sometimes I check up on him to see that he is listening to something in another language.

🐻‍❄️🔎Trafalgar Sibling Discoveries: The Talking Switch🐻‍❄️🔎

Summary: 4-year old Ross has a burning question about his parents that the rest of the crew had in the back of their minds for awhile, so he enlists his little sister, Lamia to help! (A/N: This really warmed my heart writing & I couldn’t stop smiling to myself ❤️🌹)

Ross watched intently as his dad went from giving concise instructions to the Polar Tang control room to chatting with quiet animation with his mom in their office. It was very interesting to the four-year-old how his parents were more reserved around others, but became talkative with the other around, so being a curious child, he set out to find the answer.

“Daddy, I want to go play with Lamia,” Ross told Law.

Law gave his son a small smile, helping him down from his lap, and finding his warmth towards his little sister reflective of how he and Lami used to be. Michelle’s heart also melted seeing Ross collect the toys he brought into the office, such as his plush bat Vladislav and his magnifying glass. Seeing how well the children got along reminded her of her own relationship with her younger brother and how they used to share so many conversations and items together.

“Ok, but make sure not to wake her up if she’s still napping,” Law chuckled, handing Michelle Ross’ polar bear hoodie.

“I’ll go with him to make sure Lamia’s up for playtime. She just got used to her new toddler bed, so she could still be a little weary,” Michelle reached over and rose up from her seat to give her husband a quick peck, as per their habit when they have to leave the other for something.

Ross enthusiastically led his mom down the hall humming the theme song to Sora the Warrior of the Seas, “I hope she’s awake, I want to talk to her about some things!”

Michelle giggled, wondering what Ross wanted to tell his sister, when most of what she could say was ‘Dada,’ ‘Mami,’ ‘Popo’ (Bepo), ‘Shishi’ (Shachi), ‘Gween’ (Penguin), and ‘Ro’ (Ross), “I’m sure she has many things to tell her big brother too after dreaming for so long.”

Luckily, they were met with the happy squeals of the one-and-three-quarters year old upon entering the kid’s room, with her golden eyes happily regarding her brother with enthusiasm, “Ro! Ro!”

“Hi Lamia!” he beamed, running over to her, and giving her a big hug, “How was nappy time?”

The little girl giggled and made babble as if answering her brother’s question, which Michelle made sure to discreetly record on her Den-Den Mushi to show Law later. The scene was just too precious and she felt like her heart would burst into a million candied rainbows. Along with that, there was another presence Michelle felt over shoulder, as if also observing the scene with her.

Rosinante had been watching over Law’s journey since his passing and had been protecting him to the best of his abilities in the afterlife. He’s seen his uphill battles alongside his victories. He felt his heart swell seeing the family that Law was finally able to have with the Heart Pirates and with Michelle, of whom he was thankful towards for sewing up the remaining pieces of Law’s heart and of whom he was confident would stick by Law’s side through thick and thin. Rosinante awwwwww’d for a good span of eternity watching his ‘grandchildren’ interact, before giving a wink to Ross when they made eye-contact. Ross had always been aware to his presence, even as an infant, and Lamia was the same way, being used to his presence on the ship, so they thought very little about it, even though it surprised their parents at times when Ross would say, “Grandpa Rosi says he wants you to make me more siblings.”

“Daddy and mommy will be in our office if you need anything, but I trust you two to be good kids, ok?” Michelle smiled, giving each child a kiss on the crown of their head.

“We will mommy!” Ross answered assuredly, with Lamia copying him with ‘Eewoo mami!”

Michelle paged Bepo to watch over the kids, which the polar bear gladly accepted.

When Michelle returned to her and Law’s shared office, the look of endearment on her face made him curious about what other adorableness their children did this time.

“Let me guess, Ross wanted to teach Lamia the Sora theme song,” he regarded his wife with a small curl of his lips.

“I think that’s something you’ll be doing, yourself, my Law-ve,” she playfully grinned with glee, “They did something even cuter and I actually have it recorded to show you.”

For the next few minutes, the parents took a break from their work to quietly gush about their children, with Law visibly clutching his heart the first time he saw his children embracing each other as if it was the happiest thing to do in the world.

“Play that again, mi xao,” Law asked, covering his mouth, and making room for his wife to sit on his lap, as they rewatched the clip for an insurmountable number of times.

“Lamia, I keep seeing the weirdest thing today,” Ross sat in front of his sister with an air of secrecy. The little girl clutched her snow leopard plush, looking into her brother’s grey eyes and tilted her head to the side. This sounded serious and she wondered why her brother was knitting his eyebrows like their dad. Was it a family thing to do? So she copied his expression.

“Mommy and daddy talk to each other more when they are in the same room, but with other people, even with our uncles and aunts, they are more quiet,” he communicated his observations, “Except for Uncle Luffy, but most of the time daddy yells at him, not like how he talks to mommy with a soft happy face.”

Lamia nodded, recognizing that this discussion involved their parents. She crawled over to him and booped their plushies together, which made Vladislav light up with a soft blue light.

Ross laughed seeing his little sister play, when it hit him, “Do you think…do you think mommy and daddy have eachother’s talking switch?”

“Uuu?” she questioned, putting a hand to her chin like her brother and nodded. Ross seemed to know many things, so he must be right, in her mind. Seeing his sister agree, Ross got up to pull out his journal to draw out some notes. He couldn’t fully write yet, but he knew from his mother that taking notes was important, especially if you’re investigating something.

Rosinante, who was watching them before Bepo arrived, thought that was actually a good question and found himself pondering too. ‘My grandchildren are so smart’ he thought with triumphantly proud tears running down his face, with a fist of conviction. Bepo then happily walked into the room.

“Minna-sannn~ How are you doing?” he beamed, with some apple juice for the kids on hand.

“Popo!”

“Bepo!”

The children ran over to him to give a big ‘Bepo hug,’ to one of their first best friends.

“We’re doing good!” Ross smiled, “but we have a question we want to ask you.”

“Sure! Anything for you guys!” he said, nuzzling Lamia.

“Does mommy and daddy own eachother’s talking switch?”

Bepo slightly paused, snapping out of his bliss at seeing the children, “Ehhh? What makes you ask that, Ross?”

“Mami, Dada,” Lamia said, putting the bat and snow leopard plushies together, until the bat lit up again. Which helped make it click for the polar bear.

“Do you mean they light around eachother?”

Ross nodded, “I see them talk more when they’re in the same room. So I wonder if mommy or daddy owns the others’ talking switch to do that.”

Now it was Bepo’s turn to ponder over that question. In all his years of knowing Law since he was a cub, that metaphor actually made a lot of sense, so much that it could be literal. For some reason, Law and Michelle even seemed to communicate when they were silent, so now he had to know how they did it. “Let’s ask your other aunt and uncles.”

What followed was a series of confused Heart Pirate members contemplating Ross’ question, while doting on the children. What constituted their stoic captain and his co-strategist and investigator to bloom around eachother? Sure, it was love, but even before that, they seemed to be able to communicate so naturally around eachother—even with jokes and quips some of them didn’t understand.

After some time passed, Law and Michelle finished their work and decided it was time for the children’s bath. They were met with contemplative crew members in the hallways and in the kid’s room.

“What’s going on?” Law inquired, seeing Shachi rock Lamia back and forth on the nursery chair, with Penguin and Bepo whispering something amongst themselves and Ross scribbling something in his journal.

Penguin was the one to speak up. “Captain. Do you and Nee-san…y’know, have a talking switch the other owns by any chance?”

“Huh?” he exclaimed with an arched brow.

“What do you mean by that?” Michelle interjected.

“Uhh, Ross do you want to explain?” Bepo suggested.

“I saw that you and mommy talk to eachother more than anyone else,” Ross innocently explained, “So after talking to Lamia, we thought you have the other’s talking switch to turn on when you want to have fun.”

The parents were initially caught off guard by their son’s observations and how he got the whole crew to participate in his survey.

“You’re very much like your mother seeing these things,” Law gently sighed, “I guess you can say it’s something like that.”

Michelle looked at Law at his comment, “I feel very comfortable around your dad, and he makes me want to say more, so I guess that’s one way to put it.”

“Ohh! So what Lamia thought was right!” Ross exclaimed, moving to hug his sister.

“Lamia?” Law asked in bewilderment. He knew his kids were precocious, but conspiring to figure something out about their parents was another level of surprise. Nevertheless, an overwhelming fatherly pride overtook him, as he picked up his son and daughter.

“You can do some more exploring later, but it’s time for you two to get clean,” he told the kids, as they clung onto him with laughter. They loved being close to their parents and Law always gave them a sense of safety. He was their hero, just like how Michelle was like a princess in their eyes. They actually believed that their parents met, because Law was a hero who won Michelle’s hand, like the fairy tales their parents would read to them.

“Make sure you ask where their switch is located! It’s probably their nipple!” Shachi called to the kids, earning him a menacing glare from the parents.

“Then, maybe the belly?” he suggested an octave higher, feeling their death glares burn through his sunglasses.

After helping Lamia brush her teeth and helping the kids in their oatmeal bath, Law approached his wife with Ross’ journal in hand, as she was getting fresh clothes for them.

“Looks like he’ll be your future assistant at this rate,” Law chuckled, looking at the doodles of him and Michelle next to a light switch, which appeared to make more speech bubbles come out of their mouth, “He even marked down where our ‘switch’ should be, after Shachi said that.”

“He did?” Michelle shook her head with an amused smile, peering at the journal, “Oh goodness. I think he took what I said about marking down all possibilities deeply to heart.”

She playfully poked at where her husband’s heart should be, but more precisely, his nipple, as circled by her son in the journal, causing Law to startle and freeze in place.

“What did you do that for, mi xao?” he exclaimed, moving her hand away to a safer place, like his shoulder.

“I was testing Ross and Lamia’s hypothesis, which I think could be a plausible one, seeing that I got you to talk,” she casually stated with a hint of sauciness.

“I think one thing they missed is how that particular ‘switch,’ can cause someone to react in other ways besides talking,” he replied with a neutral expression, but Michelle caught his double entendre.

“Oh? What other reactions does it cause?” she coyly asked.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” he smirked, “Aside from my reaction as one example, I can show you the others later.” Law looked back down at his son’s doodles, “He really is amazing.”

“It’s really sweet that he remembered everything I taught him,” Michelle gently agreed, laying her head on her husband’s shoulder, “Seeing the kids healthy and happy is blessing enough, but having them look up to us is more than I could ever ask for.”

Law leaned his head over to lay atop his wife’s, “You’re a good mother, so of course they look up to you. You’ve been by my side through everything, so I know you’d do the same for them…and any other Cora-san tells us to have, according to Ross.”

Her breath briefly caught in her throat. It was surreal that they could share this moment together after all the toil they’ve been through. All they’ve ever wished for was to find and keep a sense of family that they’ve lost in the past, and to see that they were able to create something so beautiful and nurture it well, deeply impacted the couple.

“They also have a good father, who wouldn’t let anything bad happen to them, and that’s why Ross says you’re his favorite superhero,” Michelle returned, earning a deep intake of breath from Law, “Lamia seems to be especially fascinated by your tools too, so I think she’s going to be your assistant in the future.”

The two remained in their intimate moment for a few seconds more, with Law kissing Michelle’s forehead, promising to protect everything they’ve worked for, before happy squeals reached their ears.

“They’re having a lot of fun with that small-replica of the Polar Tang,” she mused.

“When I left them, they were making it run over marine ships and going on an underwater adventure to Ryugu Kingdom,” Law related.

After sharing a private laugh, they went to dry their children, feeling like the luckiest parents throughout all the seas.
