The cry was piercing enough to wake both men at once.
Sanji eased himself back into the bed.
“You.”
Dammit. The kid wasn’t even theirs, a fact that Zoro remembered with less frequency these days.
He pushed the warm blankets off him with a groan. The blond pulled the cast off tighter around himself and mumbled something that had probably meant to be ‘thanks’ and ‘bottle in the fridge’ but already slipped back into dreamland before the words gained coherence.
The swordsman padded over the crib and scooped up the baby into his arms. The sobbing stopped almost immediately and Zoro sighed as he realized the problem wasn’t the need for the bottle but instead a change.
He set the baby down and went to work going through the well-rehearsed steps.
He had worried when the baby had fallen into their hands. He and ero-cook…their relationship had just reached a really good place. Now a kid had to change it before he and Sanji could really appreciate what they had.
But the change hadn’t been bad. First and foremost, it gave him and the cook focus on something other than the kids parents. The mother killed and one of their nakama taking a temporary leave to make sure people paid for it. The help offered was rejected. The fight beyond personal. But the kid was left in their care.
That had been a while ago, didn’t seem it.
Playing mommy and daddy- it made that brief blissful time he and the cook could sneak away for a quick fuck ring so hollow now next to the support in their teamwork and tenderness in those rare kisses.
Baby back to bed, he wrestled his way back under the covers and grinned as he got one of those kisses as a reward.

Date: 2008-11-10 12:48 am (UTC)My story is still in the works. While I have it pretty much all planned, it's still gonna take a while to finish. I'm hoping after I get my SmoAce Christmas fic done, that the ZxS will be next on my list, among the other 2 or 3 other fics I have started. :p And no worries, it doesn't follow this, so much. Only the idea of how they got the kid is somewhat similar, but that means nothing in terms of writing. ^__^
