5: A little surprize

I know in the movie he doesn't have scars when he first sees her, but who cares it's a fanfic.

3rd person POV:

The girls were getting the chairs down and wiping the tables when suddenly . . . Aqua comes in with Monster on her back. "Ladies brake out the booze, they're back!" Aqua shouts. That has all the girls going out to see the Red Force being tied down. "They're back," Cleo said. "Took them long enough," Evie said, putting a towel on her back and going in. "Girls assume you're positions, Monster thank you for the news, see you soon," Ruby said. The girls went back to work only to be greeted by warm hands, some skinny some fluffy. "Rockstar, Lucky. Roo, good to see you again," Esmeralda said. "What brings you back?" Ruby said getting her knives out. "A break, and Cleo, don't be freaked out about what you see," Ben said. "Why would I be freaked . . . " the love of her life enters with a child in his hand, a baby non the less. "I told you guys to wait for me," Shanks said. "And you said last one off the ship carry's Uta," Lime Juice said. "Uta, what a cute name," Aqua said. "Look at her hair so cute," Katia said. "Let me hold her, your struggling with her, her bag, and your sword," Esmeralda said. While the girls fussed around the baby Evie asked Ben the important question. "She his?" "No, but the captain took her in as his, so she's part of the family now." "So she's your daughter," Cleo said, "that's sweet." "Yeah we'd have been here sooner bu . . . Wait, you're not worried or confused or concerned at all," Shanks said shocked. "Nope, she's a baby and you took her in as your own . . . Booze?" "Yes please." While daddy was drinking Evie just touched the baby and her response made everyone freeze. "She's sick."

"She's been fussy a while, and a little cold," Hongo said. "It's settled then," Ruby said from the kitchen counter, "Cleo and the father will take the baby to see her, and trust me she'll be better in no time." "Who's her?" Roo ask. "A friend of ours who's good with herbs and medicine, but people call her the green witch," Katia said deepening her voice at the last three words. The crew is against this, but the father has the last say. "Cleo hold Uta tight, I'll get her bag," Shanks said. "Don't forget your sword, we might need it since she lives in the forest," Cleo said. "You gotta be kidding me," Shanks says tired out.

Cleo's POV:

"Shhh shhh it's ok sweetheart." "She cry's loader then my men snore, she must be hungry," Shanks said. "Did you feed her?" "A while before we got here, but when we saw the island on the horizon she started getting fussy," Shanks said. "That's the thing with baby's, you need eyes on them every time, and once you know this hour is nap time or changing diapers time you do it." "Oh god did she pee on you," Shanks said trying to grab his daughter. "No no I'm ok.""Waaaaaa!""Let's get to that witch," Shanks said. We picked up the pace. "No really how do you deal with her?" I ask. "I have her and Ben babysits when I need him to, and the crew mates help out from time to time." "Ok so you have a schedule," I say.

"You sure this is the—"I knock with my boot. "Lily open up, we need your help." The door opens, green midevil dress, with a green cloak held together by a leaf pin, a mix of blond and brown hair with green eyes you'd think they were emeralds. She looks me up and down, and then looked at Shanks. "How long was I not in town for you to get pregnant, and don't tell me it was him." My face was red, fifty percent anger, the other half was embarrassed. "Lily she isn't mine, she's his, and adopted," I said. "Can you help her?" Shanks ask. "Come in and see," Lily said with a smile. Her living room and kitchen is basically her waiting room, and from what I see the pantry in the left corner is bigger and where she does her thing. "Hand her over," Lily said gently, I did. "Mmm, yup, one year old and sick, now let me do my thing, I'll call if I need anything, just sit and relax," Lily said. We sat down and Shanks was the one to talk first. "Look I'm sooo sorry we didn't get here sooner, Cleo, it's just we had bad wether and the baby—""Shanks it's ok, I'm just glad you're back safe, and nice wanted poster by the way." "Really, thanks. And how about I make it up to you tonight, I've got some nice gold jewelry with your name on it," Shanks said smiling. "Ok sure." "Yeah I'm gonna need the dad back here, baby hates needles," Lily said.

♥️Uta is all better♥️

According to a certain lady, the shot she gave here should cure her sickness while she sleeps. So I was carful when we walked back. "I don't know why she's coming with us." "Because she has the herbs to help Uta while she's still young, don't worry she's just gonna tell Hongo and probably embarrass him," I said. By the time we got back to the bar, Lily went in, but we went back to the ship, I put her in this little crib he had made for her. "How cute," I said quietly. Shanks took my hand and led me out carefully, we headed to where the crew keeps the treasure. "Wow, I'm impressed." "Take your pick," Shanks said at the door.

3rd person POV:

Cleo looks around not knowing what to pick, when she almost steps on a necklace, a locket to be exact, in the shape of a seashell, all in gold. "This is it." She opens it, empty, good she can put pictures in the future. "This, well then may I?" Shanks ask. Cleo moves her hair and Shanks puts the necklace around Cleo. "It's perfect." "No you're perfect," Shanks whispered in her ear. Then he wrapped his arms around Cleo and started kissing down her neck. "What is it that you want, Captain?" Cleo ask calmly. Shanks gives her ass a little squeeze causing Cleo to moan. "I want you, tonight after dinner, and don't worry about the baby, I'll have Ben babysit." Shanks kisses her neck again, and she snatches his straw hat, placing it on her head. "Again Cleo." "Let me finish," she gives him a kiss full of lust, "see you tonight, my handsome pirate."
