Did you delete bonded at sea Because I can't find it anymore
Yes I did. I moved to it to my Google docs so I could work on it at my leisure and then post the whole thing when it is done. It is something I am doing with my works from now on since I was told about someone copying my work and posting it on other sights as their own.
The only reason I am not doing that with two of my stores is because I'm starting to update them regularly.
Sorry. I hope to have it wrapped up soon and then i will repost.

Finder's Keepers Ch.14
Tumblr media
Attempting to breath in a full breath as sobs constricted your lungs, you stared through the tears filling your eyes at the glowing fire not too far from you. Nothing but pain was felt throughout your body and when you refused to speak as the marine's muffled voice spoke out to you once more, no doubt asking more question's about your father's crew you tossed your head back in another scream, your back arching on it's own causing your weight to pull on your sore arms as you were no longer capable of holding yourselves up on your tip toes. Shaking from agony you dropped your head back down and cried. You had only been able to hide your pain for three lashes before you finally broke and now you had lost count of the times the whip had connected with your back. You didn't even have the energy to care about your exposed breasts any longer, your sure had the torn and hole ridden fabric been on you it would have surly been ripped to threads by the intensity of the marine's swings. There was no doubt he was trying to slice your body into with the thing. At least you still had your pants on... for now. As the cat o' nine made contact with your bare back once more your scream broke in your throat, turning into a pitiful hoarse cry. Perhaps this was your punishment for failing to protect your brother.
Growing annoyed when the female refused to even mumble any sort of information he growled and walked over to the table to slam the bloody whip down. Glancing back to see her simply hanging there with her head down he took a few panting breaths as he looked up to see his men watching him, looks of questioning on their faces. What kind of Captain was he if he couldn't get information from one pathetic omega. Gritting his teeth he stomped over to the fire and pulled the iron poker from it, raising it up to see the tip glowing orange. Marching back over to the prisoner he grabbed a fistful of her red hair and snatched her head back so he could look down into her one eye that wasn't swollen shut. Raising the poker up so she could see he saw her lip tremble but not open to speak. "WHERE ARE THE PIRATES?!" 
Seeing the man yell but not really being able to hear him through the ringing in your ears you felt more tears roll from your eyes. Refusing to rat out the man you loved, you saw the captain snarl and bring the poker forward. Trying to ready yourself for what you knew was going to be a pain like you had never felt before you closed your one eye and thought to him, your Ed. Felling the man suddenly release your hair, your head dropping back down you waited and waited but the pain never came. Just hanging there for what felt like hours you tried to open your eye once more, feeling like you would pass out any moment. Not having the strength to lift your head you could only stare at the sand through your tears, shadows moving in front of the light from the flames. Perhaps they were done with you for now and would start again later. Part of you wished you would be dead before then, no wishing to endure torture any longer. When something was thrown to the ground not too far from you, you tried to see what it was out of the corner of your eye. Was that a torso? Trying to blink your eye to clear it once more you looked down but now there was no light from the fire there just boots.... very large boots. 
Feeling something tugging on your arms you whimpered at the ache in them. Being lifted up as your arms were lowered you cried out as something touched your back. Suddenly you felt like you were being cradled and tried to force your eye open once more. Managing to crack one open you saw two very concerned golden eyes starring down at you. It couldn't be... could it. You were dreaming, you had to be. Those men must had tortured you to the point of unconsciousness and now you were only imagining him. Feeling something touch your face so gently you tried to mumble out his name but felt your lips barely move. Seeing his face move closer to yours until you felt those warm lips press against your head, a strand of his curly hair brushing your nose and allowing you to breath in a whiff of the most delectable scent ever, the scent of your alpha. Feeling a sense of comfort come over you, you closed your eye back as things began to feel fuzzy, your last thoughts being of the man you loved before you could hold onto consciousness no more. 
................................................
There had to be some sort of village on the island, there had to be. Holding his female to him as gently as he could he hurried along the coast line, knowing if there was a village it would be along the coast somewhere. If he knew exactly where it was they were he might know where said village was but he had no idea where the hell they were. Right now he was only sure of one thing, his mate needed a doctor and she needed one now. He could feel her blood running down his arm and she was as limp as a doll against his chest. "Yer alright darlin' just stay with me. Yer' gonna be just fine." he spoke to both her and himself. Seeing just a small bit of light in the distance he ran that way, hoping and praying to whatever God that was listening that there be someone there that would help his mate. 
The village was a decently large one once you got up close to it, not a city but it took no time for him to find someone. The woman looked terrified of him but he was quick to ask her where the nearest doctor was. Hurrying in the direction the woman's shaking hand had pointed he got to a building with the sign for medicine above it. Holding his omega to his chest he ducked his head to fit inside as he rushed through the door. "I need a doctor, a healer, someone please." 
Hurrying over to the unknown male the female took one look at what was being held in the man's hands before looking up at him and nodding once she saw the desperation in his eyes. "Follow me." Leading him into an open room she motioned towards the bed before calling for backup and pulling over a cart with medical supplies on it. Looking down at the topless female she leaned over her some to glance at her back and what she saw made her gasp. Checking her pulse she found it weak. "Her pulse is weak."
Hearing the beta woman's words made his heart clench. "W...will she..."
"I'll do all I can. I promise." she told the large alpha who looked down at the small female in worry. "Kiya I need a blood transfusion and IV started now."
Moving back to the wall behind him he slowly sunk down to sit on the floor, his eyes not once leaving that of his bloody and battered mate. He didn't even know where to look, there were injuries everywhere on her and she looked to have lost weight again. As she was turned once more and the sight of her back met his eyes he grit his teeth so hard he was sure they would crack. If he had not been so worried about her he would have made those bastards suffer for what they did to his female. They deserved more than the decently quick death he had given them. To think the government tried to label pirates as the evil ones. Never had he tortured anyone before and he never would. Seeing the woman looking to him he blinked and focused back on what she was saying when he saw her lips moving. 
"Sir I need to know what blood type your wife is." 
Swallowing hard he quickly told her and saw her nod before she sent to other woman that had come to aid her back out to no doubt retrieve it. Wife. The woman thought she was his wife. Snapping his eyes back down to the omega he recalled what he had heard that marine yelling before he had killed them all. He had been trying to get information out of her but she had not said a word, not even as they tortured her. She had been willing to go through unbelievable pain and possibly death in order to keep him safe. A great sense of pride filled him along with many other feelings but non more prominent than love. An immense love for this caring omega who had somehow gotten him and her to safety after he had passed out. Moving his hand to his bandaged chest he was sure she had done that as well. There was no doubt in his mind, he was sure of it. He loved her more than anything in this world and once she was well again she would not only be his mate or omega but his wife. He would marry her. They would start their family. He, her and... oh shit! Stiffening he sat up as he recalled her brother. Where the fuck was Shanks? He was sure the pup had not been in the cave when he woke. Nor had he heard or saw any signs of a babe at the marine camp. He had ripped the tents up making sure none were hiding but there had been no baby. Starring at his severely injured omega he felt his heart begin to hammer. The marines had not killed a innocent pup had they? Was he out there somewhere? He couldn't leave her, not when she was like this. He wouldn't but what if Shanks was out there somewhere all alone... What did he do?
...........................................
It had taken hours but the doctor had gotten her stable. Sitting in the spot he had been in since yesterday he let out a long sigh as he once again glanced over the body of the woman he loved. She looked so tiny and frail in the bed. White sheets covered up to her shoulders but he knew what laid underneath, he had seen it when they had changed her bandages. The doctor had given him the full rundown once she had cleaned up. Many broken and bruised ribs, a slice on her hip that looked to be from a sword and was close to becoming infected. This meant it had happened before and she had not been able to care for it properly which confused him since his own wound had been deemed well cared for by the doctor once she had insisted upon looking it over. The answer to that had quickly came to him though, she had blatantly ignored her own injuries in favor of taking care of him. Stubborn damn woman she was, stubborn and selfless. Something that both pissed him off and caused him to fall even deeper in love with her. 
Blinking he pulled his knees up and rested his arms on them as he laid his head back against the wall. Looking to her face he saw the swelling around her eye slowly going down through it was still deeply bruised with a cut to her cheekbone. The bruises there newer than the ones by her jaw and busted lips. A gunshot wound to her upper arm which still held a bullet that had to be dug out. Then there was the suspected pulled ligaments and tendons in her shoulders, form where they had her strung up no doubt. How long she had been like that he did not know. She had been shirtless when he found her, her bare chest on display for all of those fuckers but her pants had remained on her even though they were sagging low on her boney hips, nearly falling off of her. Though he was more worried for her general well being the thought of them rapping her had crossed his mind. Quietly speaking these concerns to the doctor she had offered to check her over which he had accepted with a stiff nod. Watching as the woman examined her he held his breath but released it when the woman covered her back up and told him there looked to be no sign of sexual assault. That was a relief though it did little to ease his worry as he knew what else she had been through. Her back he had been told was the worst of her injuries, something he had already knew. Many welts and open cuts littered her back, some deep enough that he knew would leave scars. Clenching his teeth and fists in rage he had to quickly regain control as his devil fruit activated and the ground began to shake, the sound of the staff yelling about an earthquake making him snap out of it. 
Taking a deep breath he scooted closer to the bed so he could gently stroke her head. Making sure she truly was stable he watched her chest rise and fall slowly and evenly. Placing a gentle kiss to her head he stood. "I'll be back sweetheart. Ya just rest fer' me. I love ya." Kissing her once more he made his leave, telling the few staff he would return shortly and to not allow anyone else but him in the room. He did not plan on being gone long but he did need to search for Shanks as well as retrieve what little things were in the cave. Oh and get rid of any evidence of there ever being any marines on the island. Last thing he needed was someone reporting a whole platoon of the navy being found massacred on the beach and drawing the attention of more who were no doubt looking for them. 
........................................
After searching for hours all around the cave they had been in he found no signs of Shanks. Going through the things that were in the cave he found the bottle but it did not look like it had been used at all. Nor was there any diapers or anything else. That meant only one thing Shanks was not with them on this island. So where was he? Rocks had told him to get his pups, plural, off the island. He was sure that had meant both Y/n and Shanks. Something had to have happened. What he did not know but he was sure Y/n would fill him in once she woke.
Buying something to eat with the bit of gold he found in the bag, he ate it as he headed back to the hospital of sorts. Truth be told he found it hard to eat knowing that his female was probably starving but he knew he would need his strength to protect her if something threatened them once more. Once she did wake he would use what little money they had left to buy her whatever her little heart desired, he didn't care what it was so long as she ate. He had found out the date from the stall owner and from that he put together it had been nearly a week since the battle. She had been on her own for a week, left to protect not only herself but him as well. Not seeing much as far a vegetation went while searching for Shanks in the forest, he figured she had not had much if anything to eat as well. That was something he was going to have to figure out, they did not have much money nor supplies. Perhaps he could pick up some odd jobs or something until they could leave the island. When he had spoken of them leaving the ship before he had been slowly saving up money from what he didn't send back to Sphinx but now all of that was gone. Sighing he chose to worry about it later, now his only concern was making sure his mate healed. 
Heading back to the room he found her exactly how he had left her and quietly moved over to sit on the floor, placing the bag beside him. Watching her steady breathing his thoughts went to the plans they had made together. He was a Rocks Pirate no more. Now they were on their own, free to do whatever they pleased. Grinning softly he thought on the ship they would get, one big enough for him, her and a crew... not to mention their pups. Their family. He would make sure they all had plenty of room to play. A kitchen and mess hall where they could all eat together. Y/n had told him she wished she could try her hand at cooking and he would make sure she could. Of course they would need a room, a Captain's quarters with a large, comfy bed. Big enough for his omega to make a nest where they would spend her heats tangled in each other's embrace. A desk where he could do his work while keeping an eye on his omega as she slept and grew their pups. Then there would need to be lots of shelves to hold all the books and drawing supplies that he would spoil her with. 
Being able to see it all in his head he smiled and looked down at the woman he loved. "We'll have it all darlin' just you wait and see."

Just finished "Star in the Sand". I love the ending and a lot of funny CrocoDaddy things come into mind.
Crocodile being all huffy about something that irritated him (probably something about the Straw Hat crew or just needing a new hiding place for Y/N and their child) and takes Y/N away back to the ship.
Y/N: Hey. Aren't you forgetting something? Crocodile: No. In fact, right now, I'm too damn mad to even be thinking about anything else. Y/N: Okay...So then you're clearly not thinking about our son? Crocodile: Son? ... 0_0! (The color drains from his face and he nearly chokes on his cigar) CRAP! Where did he go?!
Don't worry, CrocoDaddy has it all handled! That's where the hook comes in handy.
There's Caiman marching in place with a toy sword to show off that he's gonna be a cool pirate just like Luffy and his dad! Time to go fishing! Caiman: Huh? (YOINK) WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
That is so fucking cute! Why am I getting old cartoon jungle book vibes from this? Like I'm pretty positive this exact scenario happens with the elephants, now I'm going to have to go watch it with my kids and see. Anyway I love the idea and have no problem working in a small little epilogue with this in it once I am caught up on my other stories. Thank you for reading my work and taking the time to comment. Stay safe and drink plenty of water luv!

Hi I was reading your omega reader post and I was wondering if we could have some headcannons on either marco or someone else who the reader considers her children saying that she is not their mom, or like what if somw of the boys make her cry or something. Also maybe a scenario where whitebeard makes her cry. Sorry I read your post on how it's like a mutiny and it got me thinking! Sorry for the long post and hope you have a nice day!
Not taking anything else on right now till I get these stories I got done, but I will say that if you are interested in my Finder's Keepers series that you will see something like that in it at some point. If not then maybe I can work on adding it to the Headcanons once I am caught up. Thanks for asking though and I hope you have a great day!

helloooo doing okay? (*´ω`*) I was wondering if u would ever consider doing a dracule mihawk soulmate au? Ofc u don’t have to but only a suggestion :} or maybe any writing for him 🧐
Currently I am not taking anything else on simply because I already suck at updating the ones I have but possibly sometime yes. The live action made me get a thing for him anyway so it is a possibility just not right now. Hope you have an amazing day!

Hay,
Just wanted to tell you I really like your writing and that I am enjoying "finders keepers "very much.
I went through your OP masterlist and wanted to ask if the Alpha Smoker fic will be continued ? It really caught my interest and to be honest gave a "thing" for Smoker.
No worries if you are no longer interested in writing him. I have some MCU Loki fics I can't find the energy to continue cause my Interest in him is gone.:)
I am hoping to eventually finish all of my work. Unfortunately the lack of him in the anime kind of dulled my interest in him some but yes I do hope to work in it more in the future. Thank you for reading my work and taking the time to comment.

Hello!!! Can I ask if you have a masterlist of your work? I really love your stories but I'm having a hard time navigating through your timeline 😔😔
Hello luv sorry for the delayed reply. Yes I do have a master list, here you go. https://thewildomega.tumblr.com/post/637618706732695552/main-masterlist
If that doesn't work I do write on Ao3 as well which in my opinion it much easier to get around. Thanks for reading my work! Sending love and good vibes your way.

Finder's Keepers Ch.13
Tumblr media
Giving a whimper as pain rippled across your skull you scrunched your eyes closed and brought your hand up to gently rub at the aching spot on the back of your head. Feeling some of your hair stuck together along a large goose egg you again let out a whimper as your head throbbed. Trying to open your eyes you had to blink away the spots but all too soon you were looking up at the sky, the dark clouds rumbling and spinning some in the light of the lightning.
Feeling something under your uneven body you glanced to the side to see none other than the body of your alpha. As another bolt of lightning went off and showed blood dripping down his side you quickly sat up and crawled over to look down at the man you loved. Scanning your eyes over his chest you gasped at the sight of the crater over his left pectoral. Feeling your heart hammer and your breath pick up you looked around to see you both were in a small sail boat and you were surrounded by the dark sea. As it all came back to you, you could not help the agonizing scream that left your throat. 
"NOOOOO! SHANKS!! NOOOO!!" your screamed, gut wrenching guilt clawing at your heart at the knowledge that your baby brother was undoubtfully dead. Sobbing so hard that your whole body shook you cried out and felt the tears pour from your eyes. So much so that it took your longer to notice that it had started to rain and not just a sprinkle either. Sucking in a shaky breath you looked back to your alpha and moved to hesitantly lay your head on his chest, dreading the silence that may meet your ears. Laying your ear flat to his bloody chest you closed your eyes "please." Listening intently you felt your heart sink for a moment but just then a thumping was heard and you could not help from letting out another sob in relief. He was alive, for now. Sitting up you kissed his cheek and took a breath, tears still rolling down your face. He was alive but if the both of you were to stay that way then you couldn't just sit here in the middle of the open sea. Using the next few strikes of lightning to look around in every direction you felt dread take over more and more and even when you did see what you thought was a speck of land in the distance you could not find it to be relieved. It was a long way off and the waves were growing stronger by the second, it would take a miracle to get you both over there but you were not going to give up. Quickly standing to tie the broken sail back up as best you could you looked around until you felt two oars and managed to pull them out from under your massive alpha before sitting down and using all the strength you had to row. 
Biting your lip you pushed yourself on more, glancing behind you to see the island just a little ways off now. Moving both of your heavy feeling arms in the motion you closed your eyes as your palms were set aflame. When the bottom of your boat hit something you glanced back to see you had in fact made it but now came the hard part. Letting go of the oars you jumped into the wet sand, feeling weak as sea water was washed up to your knees. Refusing to give up you grabbed the rope tied to the stern and pulled. Once you had the front up onto the sand you grew to your larger size and grabbed hold of it. "Ahhhh." Pulling it up onto the sand until you were sure it would not be  washed back out you tied the rope to a nearby tree. Looking around the beach with the little sun that was beginning to rise through the clouds. Not seeing anything but rocks and trees you panted and looked back to your mate. Walking over to him you kissed his cheek once more, "I'll be back." 
Forcing yourself away from the safety of your alpha you ran through the trees and bushes, searching high and low for anything. Seeing some cliffs to the right you narrowed your eyes and moved towards them. At first you found nothing but then as you pulled back some ivy grown up one side you found a cave of sorts, though the opening was small it was larger in size, big enough to fit your mate and you inside. With this in mind you hurried back to the beach. 
Starring down at the huge male you took a deep breath and licked your lips. This was going to be difficult but you had no choice. Moving into the boat you pulled him up into a slouched sitting position and turned him more towards the side. Trying to hold him up as you got out you let out a gasp as the boat tipped over with his weight. Quickly catching it on your shoulder before it could fall onto him you let out a scream. Breathing heavily you managed to flip the boat back over after getting him out laying on the sand. Grabbing the bag, pistol and cloak Rocks had given you, you laid them by the tree for now, hiding them under a few bushes. Glancing to the boat and then back to Ed you moved to untie the boat before moving out into the water some, feeling your knees shake as you were overcome with fatigue. Rocking the boat back and forth until the water filled up one side and took it under you let go and allowed it to sink, hiding it from anyone who might come looking. If the navy knew some of the Rocks pirates had escaped then they would no doubt search other nearby islands. While you had no idea how far you and Ed had been pushed out you weren't taking any chances. 
Once that was done you moved back over to the large male and took a deep breath, growing back to your larger size before pushing your arms under his to start pulling him towards the cave you had found. Gritting your teeth you breathed heavily as you strained to pull the man who was much larger than you. Tripping once more you fell backwards and laid there for a moment to catch your breath. "That's it, when you wake up your going on a diet." you spoke. 
By the time the sun was higher in the sky you had him in the cave. Heading back out to get your things you stumbled back to the cave, your body feeling like it was made of lead. Dropping them by his head you blinked your heavy feeling eyes and looked to see him still out. Crawling over to him you touched his cheek and gasped, he felt cold, his skin clammy feeling.  A fire, you needed to make a fire and treat his wound or it was going to get infected. 
As you ran through the forest you were sure that your body was running on pure shock and adrenaline. Finding some sticks, both small and large, pinecones and straw you hurried it all back to the cave before looking around for two stones. Stacking it all up not too far from him you held the stones in your hands and tried to mimic what you had seen Rocks do to start a fire. It took more than a couple of tries and you were past frustrated when a few sparks shot off one of the stones and onto the straw, smoke quickly forming and then small flames. Making sure the fire was going good enough you moved out to grab some more wood quickly as it had started to rain once more and you knew it would not burn wet. Brining it inside you tossed it to the side for later, for now you had to treat Ed's wounds. 
Searching through the bag Rocks had shoved on your shoulders you found a small medical kit, it would last three days at best on someone as big as Ed was. But you would use what you had. As far as your own wounds went, well you would worry about that later. Taking a deep breath you looked down to his wounds and then to the items you had, time to put everything Kureha had taught you to use. 
.....................................
Forcing your heavy eyelids open you stared up at the rock ceiling of the cave you had been in for the last four days or so you thought anyway. Truthfully once you had gotten Ed's wounds sewn up and bandaged the other day you had passed out, your adrenaline wearing off. When you had woken it had been  near dark and the fire was completely out so there was no telling how long you had slept. 
Over these days you had cared for your alpha as best as you could, cleaning and dressing his wounds as well as forcing him to drink some water from the now empty rum bottle Rocks had packed in the bag, the alcohol being used to clean Ed's wounds. Pushing your sore body up from the ground you glanced towards the opening to see it was daylight. Turning your attention back to the large alpha male that was laying beside you, you saw the rising and falling of his chest making you grin softly, he was alive and his wounds looked to be healing. On the second day you had been awake he had given you quite a scare when you had noticed his fever but thankfully there had been a vile of antibiotics in the first aid kit along with a syringe. Now he only seemed to be resting. Still as much as you wanted him to rest and heal you hoped he would soon wake. 
Starting your day like you had the past three you took the bottle to the small spring that was a short walk from your little cave before you cleaned and changed Ed's dressings. Once that was done you made another walk to the spring to get water for him to drink, lifting his head up into your lap and slowly pouring the liquid into his mouth and softly telling him to drink as you messaged his throat to help him along. After your alpha was tended to you went to search for some kind of food, taking the dagger that had also been in the bag. 
This island seemed to have a small village on the further side from where you both were but you had yet to go into it, knowing your alpha would not want you there alone. But you knew if he was not up soon you would have no choice, finding little food on the island. Swallowing down a few blueberries you found you closed your eyes as your stomach yelled at you to feed it. Sighing out you headed back to the cave, picking up new firewood along the way. 
Spending the next few hours singing softly to your alpha as you watched the rain falling outside of the cave you sighed as the song ended. Looking down to the man you loved you stroked your fingers through his hair, attempting to keep the long waves of gold from getting too tangled. "I know you need rest but if you could just wake up for a little bit, enough to assure me that I'm not alone, that I'm not going to loose you too.." biting your lip as it began trembling you swallowed the knot in your throat. "I wouldn't be able to go on if I lost you. I miss you Ed." feeling tears drop to your cheeks you leaned over to place your head on his chest. Your whole body ached, your injuries throbbing but as you listened to the sound of his thumping heart you were able to ignore them and closed your eyes to imagine you were both back on that ship you had hated so much, that you were both just laying in bed and everything was fine. Ed was fine, he was sleeping with you on his chest and Shan.... as the thought of your baby brother came to your head you felt more tears leak from your eyes and all too soon sobs were falling from your mouth, shaking your body and causing your heart to clench painfully in your chest. Curling up into your alpha's side you tried to get as much comfort as you could from his unconscious body. 
Waking sometime during the early morning you blinked your tired eyes open and forced yourself to stand on unsteady legs, too tired to even bother with your shoes but grabbing the bottle on your way out to empty your bladder. Once you had refilled the bottle you turned to go back to your cave when you stopped in your tracks. Looking up the barrel of the riffle that was aimed at you, you saw a man standing there, a marine no doubt seeing as he was dressed in a white uniform. Feeling your heart hammer in your chest, your breathing turned erratic and you swallowed down on nothing but the moisture in your mouth. Seeing four others standing around him all holding swords you saw the one in front smirk.
"Told you there'd be some of Rocks' crew lingerin' about on this shit hole of an island."
"But sir how do you..."
"Just look at her eyes, that one they caught said there was an omega on the ship and here she is." he responded to the one behind him before looking to the female and grinning. "Now honey we can do this the easy way or..."
Without a moments thought you chucked the bottle at the man's head and took off in the opposite direction. Jumping over a log and running as fast as you could you held your side as the sword slash there was set ablaze, no doubt reopening. Hearing a gun go off you cried out as your arm was hit. Stumbling into a tree you continued on, running further away from your alpha no matter how much your instincts were telling him to seek the safety of your alpha. Making it to the edge of the cliff you skidded to a stop as you nearly fell over it. Going to run towards the town you were shoved to the ground hard, the breath getting knocked from you. Going to grow you felt something quickly get slapped on one wrist and then the other. Looking up you saw it was cuffs and knew from the instant fatigue that overcame you they were sea stone. Growling you adempted to still buck the male from on top of you but to no avail. Refusing to give up you thrashed with every ounce of energy you had as you were hauled up and forced to stand. Looking to the male as he came to stand in front of you, blood running down his nose and brow from where you had hit him with the bottle. Seeing him glare at you attempting to intimidate you, you only snarled, barring your teeth at him. 
"Hard way it is then." he huffed before slamming the stock of the riffle into her face, knocking her unconscious. Taking a deep breath he looked to the officer holding her, bring the pirate back to camp, have her strung up and ready for interrogation."
"Interrogation sir?"
"Yes, I intend to locate every piece of filth that drifted away from that island and finally rid the world of the Rocks' pirates." he assured the subordinate before turning and making his way back to camp. 
....................................
Everything was unclear as you tried to flutter your lashes open but only one eye was currently co-operating for you. There was not much you were sure of at the moment, everything blurry and your memory fuzzy but you soon felt the ache throughout your body, the one in your arm and face a new addition to your pervious injuries. Trying to move your arms from where they were being held above you found you couldn't and groaned as you tried to pull free. Blinking your one eye a few times you saw sand below you and lifted your head up to glance around you. Seeing tents as well as two marines walking about you felt your heart hammer. Looking up you saw you were in fact chained to the limb of a tree, your feet just barely touching the ground. Looking about again you searched for any clue as to where you were on the island but it didn't look like anywhere you had been before, you didn't even see the small village near by. Were you on the other side of the island? Ed, had they found Ed? Turning to look around you you saw no other and felt a small sense of relief. But panic soon rose in you again at the voice speaking as a man came walking out of one of the larger tents. 
"Well look who is finally awake. About time honey I was starting to worry you'd tapped out before we could have any real fun."
Glaring up at the male as he moved to stand in front of you once again you saw his face now stitched up but with bruises now staining his once handsome face. You tried to look tough, tried to show no fear but he saw right through it as he huffed out a chuckle. 
"Just remember sweetheart you chose to go this route." 
Watching him walk away from you towards a small table that had been set to the side you saw him pour himself a glass of clear liquid that you doubted was water, swallowing it down in one big gulp before he lifted something that made your blood run cold. 
Giving a experimental flick of the cat o nine tails he reeked in the look of terror on the omega's face. "Now I don't suppose you would like to talk about the Rocks' Pirates would you?"
..................................
A violent clenching in his heart caused him to shoot up from where ever he had been laying, his hand flying to his chest which was bandaged. The pain though was not coming from his wound, it was deeper than that, causing his very soul agony. Groaning he squeezed his eyes shut and panted until he could managed to open them. Seeing a darkened room? No not a room the floor and walls and ceiling were made of rock, a cave, he was in a darkened cave. The small bit of sunlight that came in through the entrance showed him a bag and a few items laying about as well as a place were a fire had been kept. Panting he thought on the last memories he had before everything went black. Y/n, his omega he was trying to get to her and he had. He had found her on the beach but she was being attacked and he had killed the bastards but then everything began to spin and went dark. He could hear her calling for him, begging him to stay awake, to get into the boat. After that he could recall nothing. Seeing her shoes on the ground next to him as he knew she had been here which meant she had somehow gotten him in here as well but she was not here now. Where was she? Where was his mate? Groaning as the pain started up once more he knew what that meant, his omega was in trouble, she needed him. Crawling out of the cave he pushed himself to his feet and held onto the cave as he got his footing. Looking out across the land he narrowed his eyes as he looked through the trees for any sign of her. When a agonizing scream cut through the forest from the distance he grit his teeth and growled deeply as he pushed off the cliff towards it as fast as he could.

Finder's Keepers Ch.12
Tumblr media
Making a funny face at the babe who laid between your legs you smiled as you heard him giggle, continuing to thread the needle in and out of the fabric along the few lines you had already made before. Listening to him babble on you peeked over top of the blanket once more and stuck out your tongue which made him smile and cackle. Hearing the door open you snapped your eyes over to see Ed coming into the room and gave him a smile. 
"Hey there good lookin'." he told her with a smile. Watching as the little boy tried to roll over enough to look at him he met his grey eyes and huffed as the pup gave a small 'ahhh'. "Yea yea, hey to you too brat." 
Giggling as your little brother squealed and Ed winced at the ear piercing noise you smiled as you continued on his blanket. "I don't think he likes that name."
Laying across the bed some his head was by her, he looked up at her and smirked. "Well too bad, that's the title he gets when he keeps stealin' my omega's attention away from me." 
"Are you jealous of a baby?" you smiled and heard him scoff.
"Of course not! Nothin' to be jealous of, yer mine." Seeing her roll her eyes some but smile he grinned as he reached up to cup her head in his hand and gently pull her down to kiss him, her small lips still a pleasant feeling on his larger ones. When she began leaving small pecks along his cheeks and forehead he closed his eyes to relish in the peaceful feeling. Breathing in two lungfulls of her sweet, calming scent he sighed before he tensed up and snapped his eyes open. "Ow... let go you little shit." 
Giggling you sat up and moved to try and detangle your alpha's golden curls from that of your little brother's fist. "Now that's not very nice little mister." 
Hearing the pup only let out a gleeful squeal as she gently scowled him he growled under his breath. "He does it on purpose, I know he does. Every time you show me any kind of affection he..."
"Maybe he just wants you to play with him." you told him with a raised brow.
"Me?" Hearing her only hum he let out a deep sigh before rolling over to look down at him laying between her spread legs. Seeing the boy chewing on the small wooden ring that he had carved for him he saw those grey eyes move to look at him. Offsetting his jaw for a moment he glanced out of the corner of his eye to see his omega peeking at him. Recalling what Shakky had said about him showing Y/n that he would make a good father he took a breath before looking back to the babe and dipping his head down to hide below her raised knee, leaving only his eyes visible. Once the boy saw him he dropped his head down so he could peek at him under her bent knee, those grey eyes following his. Sticking his tongue out at him he saw the corner of his lips lift into a smile and quickly moved his head up to peek above her leg once more. Repeating the process another time he heard the boy let out a small laugh and smiled at the sound.  
Not being able to stop your soft grin at the two people you loved dearly you pressed the needle into the fabric when you saw your little brother give a large yawn after giggling at Ed. "Alright little man time for a bed." you spoke, crawling over to grab the bottle you had already made and then lift him up to start feeding him. Watching as your alpha stood to remove his boots and scarf before he moved to lounge back on the bed with you as you fed the babe you smiled at him, pressing a small kiss to his temple. 
...........................................
"Name three common plants that could be brewed into a tea to relieve fever and or pain?"
Thinking you bit your lip in though before smiling and looking up to the beta. "Yarrow, Feverfew and willow bark."
Smiling she nodded, "Very good. What about infection?"
"Garlic, Clove and Rosemary." you told her and then pepped up. "Oh and honey.. but that's not a plant..."
Chuckling the doctor smiled. "No but they are all correct." Closing her book she moved over to the omega and held it out for her. "You keep working hard Y/n and I know one day you will be a great healer. That's it for today."
"Thank you Kureha, for giving me a chance." 
"Just don't let it all go to waste." 
Nodding your head and giving a smile you made your way out of the sick bay and out onto the deck. Looking out across the sea you saw dark clouds moving in and furrowed your brows. Looked to be a storm coming. As a flash of lightning stuck, lighting up the clouds you knit your brows at two odd shapes in them but before you could get a good look at either they were gone. 
"Y/n."
Hearing Shakky call your name you turned to see her standing there with your little bother there in her arms. Walking over to her you smiled down at the small sleeping face. "Was he trouble?"
"Not at all." the beta smiled as she handed him over to his sister. 
Adjusting him in your arms you smiled as you looked up to your friend. "Thank you for watching him." you spoke and heard her hum. 
"Of course, what are friends for." Shakky smiled softly. Glancing across her head she saw the outline of land coming up and took a deep breath. "Y/n I want to give you something but you have to promise to never allow another to use it for I only give it to those who are dear to me." Retrieving the item from her bra she held it out to her friend to take. 
Looking up into her soft eyes and then down to the small piece of paper in her fingers you slowly reached up to take it. Flipping it over you saw it blank and furrowed your brows. "There's nothing on it." 
Lifting it to her lips she pressed it to them to leave a mark from her lipstick before moving it towards the omega. "Keep it close. If ever you need me or simply wish to see me it will lead you to me no matter how far apart we are." 
Hearing the seriousness in her voice you smiled and gave a nod before she walked away. Glancing down to the paper you moved to tuck it into your pocket. Glancing back out to the sea you moved to the railing and tilted your head as you stared towards the darkening clouds that were growing closer. Feeling this strange sense of uneasiness you knit your brows, looking for the two shapes you had seen earlier. As all else seemed to drift away you could only feel the whipping of your hair as the wind blew strongly, the vibrating rumble of the thunder. But no that wasn't it, there was something else. Or someone. 
"Lass..."
Letting out a small yelp as you were snapped out of the trance like state you snapped your eyes up to see your Ed there looking down at you. Quickly looking down and giving a small bounce of your arms to try and sooth your baby brother who you had no doubt frightened you made small shushing sounds but they sounded shaky. 
Furrowing his brows at the state his female was in he crouched down and placed a hand on her back. "Darlin' what is it? What's got ya so on edge?" 
"I..." Opening and closing your mouth you looked looked up to your alpha and then back out to sea. Licking your lips you took a breath "Something is coming." 
"Wha..." Stopping when Rocks made quick steps over beside them both he glanced up to see the male looking down to the female with knitted brows before looking out towards the sea. 
"There, in the clouds." you told them both, continuing to bounce your arms. 
Narrowing his eyes at the dark clouds he focused and quickly sensed that which his daughter did. Taking a deep breath he dropped his eyes to his spawns and then looked up to his first mate. "Take them below then tell the crew to prepare for a fight." 
Stiffening some he stood and lifted his female up into his arms with her brother in her own. Going to walk away he stopped when Rocks' hand reached out to grab hold of Y/n's wrist. Seeing the male's eyes looking to her in a way he had never seen he knit his brows. 
"You do not leave that room unless Newgate or I come to get you ourselves. Do you understand me?" Starring up into her electric blue eyes he saw her nod and released her arm. "Make it quick."
Following his Captain's eyes over the sea he saw two ships emerging from the clouds, both heading their way. Swallowing hard he quickly carried his mate down to the safety of their room. Placing her down on the bed he quickly moved to grab his Nagata. Kneeling down in front of her he saw her fear filled eyes looking up at him and cupped her head in his hand. "Ya stay down here darlin'. Everything is gonna be alright, ya don't worry alright."
Moving your hand to his face you looked into those golden eyes and licked your lips. You knew he couldn't stay. "Please be careful, promise me."
Smiling he pressed his lips to the top of her head. "Promise lass." 
Watching him leave the room, the lock clicking into place you took in a trembling breath, your heart hammering in your chest. Looking down to your baby brother you forced a small smile when you saw those two grey eyes looking up at you. "It's alright. Your going to be just fine because big sister has got you." you told him, bopping the tip of his nose with your finger and seeing him smile. When the sound of a cannon went off though you could not help from tightening your hold on him, a bad feeling coming over you.
...........................................
You knew it was going to be bad but you didn't know it was going to be this bad. Holding your now screaming brother close to your chest you beat against the door with your free hand, your heart beating out of control. "HELP! LET ME OUT!" Again trying the handle to no use you felt the sea water quickly rising up your legs making you feel weak. Blinking away the tears that were filling your eyes you looked down to your baby brother and then felt dread fill you as the water made it up to your waist. "ED!!!" you screamed to the top of your lungs hoping that you alpha would come and save you.
.........................................
Gritting his teeth and swinging his Nigata through the air he felt a sharp clenching in his chest and looked through the many fighting people both marines and pirates alike, through the trees, some on fire towards the shore where the ship was what he saw made his heart sink to his stomach. It was sinking. No, Y/n. Going to move towards the ship he was bombarded by dozens of enemies. Growling out he heard as cannons fired once more and saw as the ship shook as it was struck, the upper decks set ablaze. Roaring out he took out the group of people daring to keep him from his omega but before he could move forward there was more pushing him back.
..........................................
Standing on the bed to get as high up as you could you cried out and tightened your arms around your brother, kissing his forehead in what you were sure was going to be your last moments together as the water level continued to rise in the room. A slamming on the door made your eyes snap over to it and you held your breath until it burst open to reveal the last person you thought would be coming to your rescue. He wasted no time in wading over towards you both and lifting you from the bed to carry you up the partially submerged stairway and up onto the deck. Being pulled into his quarters you stood there as he shoved a bag onto your shoulders that felt heavy and draped you in a cloak from his wardrobe, covering your head before he lifted you back up. 
"Hold tight to your brother." was all he said before he kicked open the door and ran from the ship. 
Peeking out of the cloak you saw many people fighting, the trees and foliage on fire. Gunfire, cannons, the clashing of swords and screams filled the air around you but you said nothing as he ran away from it all through the trees. Still a loud voice rang out through it all, yelling out your father's name.
"ROCKS!!!"
You didn't know how long he ran but when he suddenly stopped and set you down you gasped as he turned on heel and sliced a person into. Sensing that strong presence from before coming towards you through the trees you looked to him and saw him turn to face you, a strange look in his eyes. 
Removing the pistol from his side he held it out for her to take. "You take this and you make for the shore through those trees. Newgate will meet you there. You take one of the boats and you get as far from this island as you can do you understand me." 
"ROCKS!!"
Snapping your eyes to the trees behind your father you felt your heart hammer in your chest.
"Y/n." Seeing her quickly look back to him he starred into her eyes and blinked before finally looking her over, she really did favor her mother... and him, the hair especially. "I'm not sorry for what I did... but I'm sorry I couldn't be the father you deserve." Taking a deep breath he stepped closer to her and pushed the pistol into her hand before placing his hand on her head and dipping his head to look into her eyes. "Don't ever forget who you are, omega or not you are my pup, you are Rocks D. Y/n and there is greatness in you." Removing his hand he saw her looking up at him in a way that made him fill a sort of way he wasn't too fond of. "Go. Now." 
Not knowing what to say you did exactly what he said and ran, not being able to bring yourself to look back. 
............................................
Running through the trees you heard the fighting continue behind you, growing closer by the second. Finally making it to the shore you skidded to a stop when you saw a single boat pulled up near the trees, boxes and chest beside it. Licking your lips you quickly looked around to make sure the coast was clear before you hurried over to it. Dropping the cloak and heavy bag into the large tender boat you glanced to the crates and chests beside it and bit your lip in thought. Opening one of the chest that was against the tree you saw it filled with treasure and such. Raking out some of the gold you pulled up a tapestry of sorts so it was more on top before moving to place your now sleeping brother inside. Making sure he was still wrapped in his blanket you grew to your larger size so you could pull the boat over to the shore, wanting it to be ready to go by the time Ed got there. 
Even with being in your largest size the boat was still hard to pull across the sand and by the time you had it in the water the fighting had grown even closer. Going to hurry back over to your baby brother you gasped out and skidded to a stop when four marines burst through the tree line. 
"And just where do you think you're going. pirate whore?"
Having no weapon you licked your lips and glanced towards the chest that held your baby brother and then back to the boat where the pistol Rocks had given you was. Seeing them hold up their swords and take a step towards you, you quickly dashed back towards the boat and grabbed the gun. Turning back around you only managed to shoot one in the middle of his chest before the others were on you. Hit in the face you blinked rapidly and tried to aim the gun again but not before you felt a sharp pain to your abdomen and let out a scream of pain. Kicked to the ground you lost the hold of the pistol and felt your breath catch in your throat when one of them landed a hard kick to your side. Whimpering out you tried to breath in but another kick came and then one was fisting his hand in your hair throwing you to the beach. Then just like that they were on you.
........................................
Stumbling through the trees he held his Nagata in one hand while the other held his bleeding chest. Blinking rapidly to force himself to stay awake he pushed on it the direction Rocks told him to go in to find his mate. 
"You get my pups as far away from here as possible. That's my last order to you as Captain."
He had been so caught up in the man's words he had not noticed the cannonball heading towards him until the last second. Being yanked up out of the rubble he had flown back into he looked up to see Rocks yelling at him, though he could not hear his words. Pulled to his feet he was able to make out Rocks telling him to 'Go!' before he was shoved in the direction he had been going in for a while now. He wasn't quite sure how long he had been walking but he was feeling more and more light headed by the second. Stumbling against a tree he looked down to his chest to see blood and what looked to be a small crater over his left pectoral. Groaning he quickly realized looking at the wound was a bad idea as it told his brain that he should in fact be in pain. Closing his eyes they quickly snapped back open when a scream reached his ears. Looking up in the direction it came he felt a clenching in his heart that had nothing to do with the injury. "Y/n." 
Shoving off the tree he hurried towards the shore where his female was waiting and what he saw as he came out of the tree line made him see red. Three marines, two holding his omega down as he other straddled her thrashing thighs. Watching as one struck her across the face he roared out in rage. Charging forward he swung his nagata through the air, decapitating one before the others could even react. Turning on the other he punched him in his torso, using his devil fruit powers to send the man flying. Hearing a gunshot and then his female scream he snapped his eye to the only one left to see him pointing a gun at him. Growling out he shoved his nagata through the man and tossed his body aside before looking to his female as she moved towards him.
Hurrying towards your alpha as he fell to one knee you grew to your bigger size so you could help hold him up. Looking to the large wound on his chest and then the gunshot wound on his side you felt a knot form in your throat. "Ed, you're hurt." 
"Ain't n..nnnothin ta worry about." He tried to steady his voice but it came out weak and shakky. Bringing his hand up to her bloody face he growled, "Those fffucks....I'll..." Going to cup her cheek he couldn't hold his hand up and dropped it back to his side. 
"Alpha!" you called out as his eyes begun to go in and out of focus. He tried to speak but his words stopped in his throat and you quickly had to catch him as he started to fall forward. Feeling your heart hammer in your chest you glanced back to the boat. "Come on get in he boat." Trying to move him you licked your lips, "Ed. Ed help me, come on alpha get in the boat." you begged and felt him shake slightly as he used what little strength he had left to help you get him into the boat, falling into it when he could stay conscious no longer. Managing to keep his head from slamming into the bottom you eased it to lay down before moving his Nagata which he had used to help steady his weight to the side. Breathing heavily you readied the sail as best you could. Making sure you were ready to go you looked up to the chest and moved to go fetch your brother but before you could step out of the boat a large blast went off and knocked you backwards into the boat, the sight of the sky seaming to crack the last thing you saw before your head slammed into the wooden side and everything went black. 
........................................
Walking along the shore the pirate was called over by some of his crew and smiled as he saw them standing around a bunch of crates and chests. "And what is it ya all 'ave found? Any food?"
"Yea little supplies in the crates. I don't know about this chest though, damn lid is jammed shut." The silver haired man said as he adjusted his glasses. 
"Ah, let me 'ave a go." The Captain said in excitement as he moved over to the chest. "Must be something good if it's locked up this tight." he laughed. Using his sword to pry the top open he gave a hearty laugh before looking to his first mate who simply rolled his eyes. "Wonder if it was somethin' of Rocks' or one of them Dragons?" Sticking his sword in the sand he threw the top open and felt his mouth fall agape at the sight of the thing laying in the bed of treasure. "A BABY?!"
"Who the hell locks a baby in a chest?"
Seeing two little eyes open and look up at him he rose a brow as the small creature smiled. Huffing out he lifted the babe up into his arms with the blanket he was wrapped in. "Well hello there little one." Seeing something red along the corner of the blanket he lifted it up and tilted his head to read it. "Huh.. Well then, welcome to the crew Shanks."

Finder’s Keepers Ch. 11
Tumblr media
Snapping his eyes open as soon as he heard the soft whimpering of the pup he sat up and looked beside him to see his female forcing herself to sit up, her eyes still closed as she went to lift up the now crying baby beside her.  Noticing how shaky her hands were he frowned and quickly jumped into action. Lifting the boy up into his own hand before she could take him he watched as her exhausted looking eyes opened enough to look up at him in no doubt confusion. 
"eed..."
Her voice sounded so strained. Standing he reached over to gently push his female back down on the bed. "I got him darlin'. You go back to sleep." Judging by the dull light coming in through the window he guessed it was nearing dawn so he assumed the boy was hungry again. 
Confused by his deep voice telling you to sleep you furrowed your brows together and tried forcing them to stay open. Thinking, let alone moving seemed like such a task but you knew you had to get up. "I...I gotta get up  h..he's hungry."
Adding a bit more pressure to keep her down he tugged the covers back over her, "No you are going to sleep." Feeling her weakly try to push his hand away he rolled her over to her stomach and began stroking her back with his fingertips while his other hand bounced gently to keep the pup from crying out and keeping her awake. "Sleep omega." he spoke in a commanding purr. Between his command and his fingers rubbing up and down her back she could not fight him and he watched as she quickly obeyed and drifted back off. Continuing to stroke her back and head until her breathing evened out he sighed. Hearing the child's small whimpers start up again he moved his hand from her. "Yeah, yeah I'm getting it." he told the tiny person. Quietly leaving the room he made his way up to the kitchen and began looking around for the stuff to feed the little brat, not seeing anything he growled and was beginning to grow frustrated when he heard someone clearing their throat behind him. Turning he saw Kureha standing there with a small glass bottle in her hand. 
Holding out the bottle for him she sat the small wooden box on the table that was filled with baby supplies. Reaching inside she lifted the small can of formula to show him. "Two scoops than fill the bottle with warm water. Shake it until it's mixed well. He'll most likely be ready for a feeding every four hours. Make sure you burp him afterwards or he's not going to be happy. That's the only bottle we have so keep it clean and don't break it." 
Watching her leave without another word he let out a breath and looked to the tiny bottle that he had to hold in his fingers and then down to the squirming boy. Moving bottle to his lips he saw him quickly latch on and quiet down. "Slow down will ya, it ain't goin' no where." Moving to sit at the table he finished feeding the boy as he looked in the crate, noticing the cans of formula, clothes and... diapers. Opening his mouth he glanced down to the baby as he realized what he would have to do once the boy was fed. Dropping his shoulders and closing his mouth he let out a long sigh, it was going to be a long day. 
.................................
Trying to do his work while taking care of Rock's spawn, one that wasn't his mate, was a new experience and not one he honestly cared for. It would be one thing if the pup was his but he wasn't and he couldn't help but feel sour taking care of the child while the boy's actual father was still on the island doing Gods knew what. Still he managed and once it was around three in the afternoon he went in search of the woman who had successfully and literally slapped sense into him the night prior. Finding her in the kitchen he licked his lips as she glanced up from her book. "I need a favor."
"Oh?" 
"I need you to keep the brat so I can give Y/n a bath and make sure she eats." 
"Can you not do both?" She questioned with a raise of her brow.
Off setting his jaw he bit his tongue. He knew what she was doing, what she was making very clear, that caring for a child was not easy. Certainly not for someone who had so little knowledge in childcare as his female did. While no he had not raised any children himself he had witnessed people doing it and he had helped keep an eye out on the rest of the kids on his home island so he knew the basics at least. Taking a deep breath he looked to Shakky and swallowed his pride. "I fucked up, I know I did. Now I'm only trying to make it right." 
Humming the woman couldn't help but grin before she shut her book and stood. Walking over towards the large male she held her arms out for the babe. Looking down on his sleeping face as he was placed in her arms she grinned. "What's his name?"
"Don't think he has one." he shrugged and heard her only hum in response. Taking the bottle from his back pocket that he had already measured out two scoops of formula in he handed it to the female as well as a few diapers. "Little shit just ate so he should be fine for a while." 
"I'll set a plate of food to the side for the both of you." 
Nodding he dipped his head in thanks before making his way down to his room. Opening the door he looked over to see his mate still sleeping, her small form curled up with his pillow hugged to her, her nose buried in it. Grinning he quietly stepped over and leaned over the bed some so he could look down at her, brushing some of her hair behind her ear. "Time to wake up for a bit lass." Hearing a small grunt he sighed and slowly pulled the covers down her body. "Come on sweetheart, let's get ya cleaned up and fed then ya can go back to sleep alright." 
Blinking your eyes open you looked to see Edward's face above you, he was back. Blinking a few more times you dropped your eyes to the bed, searching around you for your little brother. "Where's the baby?' you asked, your voice still laced with sleep. 
"Shakky's got him for a bit. He'll be fine now come on." Scooping her up he held her in one arm while he grabbed their bath bag and one of his shirts. Feeling her lay her head on his shoulder as he carried her up to the bath house. Locking the door behind him he set their things on the bench so he could undress her. Removing her shirt and then pants he furrowed his brows at the sight of her slightly skinnier self. While no she hadn't lost a tone of weight he coudl tell she had lost some and he was reminded of Shakky's words. He had been a fool to assume she had eaten during the day when she was in the kitchen tending to her baby brother. Lowering her into the shallow water he watched as her shoulder's curled up and her eyes that still looked so very drained focused on the water. Seeing her reach for the rag with her slightly trembling hand he quickly moved to take it into his own hand. 
Furrowing your brows you raised your eyes to his "You don't hav..."
"Yes sweetheart I do." Rubbing the bar of soap on it until he had made a thick lather he gently brushed her hair to the side but when he did he knit his brows at what he saw there. "What happened? Where did you get this from?" he questioned as he looked over the bruise along her right shoulder blade that made it's way up to her shoulder. It wasn't too bad but still he didn't like his omega being injured especially if it was caused by someone.
"Fell going up the stairs." Looking to the window you saw it looked to see the sun high in the sky and knit your brows. Feeling him begin washing your back you couldn't help from letting out a sigh at the warmth that soothed your aching body. "What time is it?"
" 'round four..."
Stiffening you moved to stand in the water. "Four?! In the afternoon?! I have to go feed the baby. He needs to be changed." 
Grabbing hold of her to keep her in the bath he moved her to the deeper end when she wouldn't stop trying to get out, holding her enough to keep her head above water. "Whoa easy lass, calm down now. It's alright the pups just fine, I've taken care of it and 'e's with Shakky now so he's fine."
Holding onto his hand and wrist as he held you in the water that was over your head you blinked and then furrowed your brows. "Y..you've kept him?"
"Yes. I kno..."
"I'm sorry he woke you." you quickly spoke. Licking your lips you shook your head and felt your eyes fill with tears. "I must not have heard him. I didn't mean to sleep in this late I... I promise it won't happen again."
"That's not..."
"I know I'm not good at it right now bbbut I...I'll learn, I'll do better, I will..."
"Y/n..."
"I'll be a good mother, I will. I don't mean to be a bad omega, I swear I don't. Ppplease, please don't get r...rid of me." You cried, tears now flowing down your cheeks like rivers, not even able to look at him in fear you would see loathing on his face. You didn't know what you would do it he decided he no longer wanted you, that he no longer loved you. "I'm sorry." you sobbed out, your voice cracking and your heart clenching at the very thought of your alpha no longer wanting you. 
Hearing her fear filled words made the blade of guilt stab though him like a hot knife through butter. He had done this, he had allowed the crew's hurtful words to infiltrate his omega's head. And not once had he assured her that none of it had been true. Taking a deep breath he moved her back to the shallow end and pulled his hand away from her, watching as her hands attempted to hold onto him for as long as possible before she wrapped them around herself, her head dropping low as she cried. Feeling the aching in his chest from his mate's sadness he quickly removed his pants, belt and boots before stepping into the tub with her. Tugging her to his chest he felt her stiff feeling and so he dipped his head to kiss the top of her head while he rubbed her back and body with his hand. "Ain't a damn thing you have to be sorry about omega. It's me that needs to be sorry and I am lass. I'm sorry for being so selfish. I'm sorry for not assuring you that you are an amazing, selfless, caring woman who I have no doubt will one day make the best mother there has ever been." Being able to feel as the small female on his chest relaxed against him he sighed and cupped some water to drip over her body. "I know this has been hard for you lass, I know it's all new to you, that you've never had the chance to witness and learn most things that people normally do."
Turning your face more into his hard chest as something close to shame and embarrassment ate at you, you lifted your eyes some when you saw him tilt his head down and to the side some so he could look at you. Seeing him grinning softly, his eyes holding not anger or resentment but understanding and warmth you felt a little better. 
"You're a quick learner sweetheart and you've been doing damn good job of taking care of that pup on your own." Taking her chin between the tips of his fingers he lifted her face so she was looking into his eyes. "You won't do it all on your own any longer lass, that I promise you. I know I've been distant this past week, that I've been..." Tilting his head some to think of a proper word he was quickly given one. 
"A Jackass." you offered and saw him wince but dip his head in agreement. 
"A jackass, a selfish jackass at that but I promise to help you out from here on." he told her before looking into the two electric blue eyes and melting. "Truth is sweetheart I wasn't, still ain't fond of seein' my omega have to care for any pup that ain't mine. Always thought the first time I saw ya hold a baby it would be ours." 
Feeling a blush heat your cheeks you smiled softly and looked up to his face. "One day." 
Smiling he stroked her cheek with the tip of his thumb, "One day." he assured her. "I love you lass and don't you ever let anyone make you think that I would want you anywhere but by my side." Feeling her grow to her larger size he adjusted his arm to hold her as she dipped her head to press her lips against his. 
.....................................
After making sure you were as clean as clean could get Ed had carried you back to your room before leaving only to grab you a plate of food. Feeling your mouth water you heard him say that he expected you to eat it all. Promising to at least try you looked up after placing a mouthful of food in your mouth to see him holding a large piece of cloth and a hammer as he glanced around at the ceiling. "Whatcha doin?"
"Lookin' for a place to hang this so it's out of the way but still safe for the little runt." he told her around the nails pinched between his lips. Looking at one specific spot at the end of the bed he figured that would work fine, close enough for her to grab him in the middle of the night. 
"Hang what?" you asked around another bite of food. 
"You'll see." he assured her before beginning to hang the thing. 
Eating as he worked you watched as he finished hanging the cloth like thing before giving it a tug and humming. As he moved out of the way you got to see it was in fact a hammock. 
"There that should work, now the little terror can sleep in his own space and you can sleep back where you're supposed to." 
He meant on his chest of course and you could only grin as you shoveled another bite of food into your mouth. As you filled your belly you became more and more sleepy. Although you had slept nearly all day you had missed nearly a whole week of it. Of course the hot bath and warm meal wasn't making it any easier for you and it seemed your alpha was quick to pick up on it. "I can't eat anymore." 
"Once more bite." he told her lifting the fork and lifting it to her mouth. When she only pushed on his hand and shook her head he sighed and relented. Finishing off her food himself he stood and promised her he would be right back. 
Giving a large yawn you looked towards the door with sleep filled eyes as it opened. Seeing Ed holding both a wooden box in one hand and the sleeping baby int he other you grinned. Watching as he set the box down by the foot of the bed before gently and slowly laying the baby boy in the hammock, swaying it a bit when he started to whimper you couldn't help the warming in your heart. 
When he was sure the little boy was sleeping he sighed and moved over to the bed, removing his boots and pants. Laying down on the bed he was quick to snuff the candle and lift his omega up, placing her down on his chest. Feeling as she laid down and cuddled up on him he sighed. "Now this is better." he spoke in a quieter voice and heard her giggle softly. Placing a kiss to the top of her head he smiled and moved to stroke her back. "Go on and sleep some more lass, I'll get up with him tonight."
Closing your eyes you heard the sound of his thumping heart and felt at ease. "I love you alpha."
Smiling he closed his eyes. "And I love you omega." 
..............................................
"That's a horrible name." you spoke as you looked across the desk to your father. 
Huffing out he raised his eyes to that of his daughter, seeing his son in her arms, tugging at her hair. "It's a good strong name, better than Y/n." he mocked. 
Narrowing your eyes you shook your head and pulled your feet up to cross under you in the chair. "What is it with you and 'X' names?"
"Perhaps I only wish for my pups to have something else in common with their dear father." he smirked. "Other than the hair that is." Seeing her roll her eyes he tilted his head and grinned. "Come to think of it I've decided I'm going to rename you, Rocks D. Y/n just sounds so.... plain. From now on your name will be Xana."
"No." you quickly said with a shake of your head. 
"Why not, a good mixer between my name and your mother's." 
Tensing at the mention of your mother you took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. "My name is Y/n." you told him before standing and making your way towards the door. 
"Xandros and Xana D. ROCKS!!" he yelled as she opened the door.
"NO!" you yelled back slamming the door behind you.
"STOP SLAMMING MY DAMN DOOR... XANA!!"
"NOT MY NAME!!" seeing the crew that was on deck looking towards you, you quickly took notice of the two yellow eyes looking to you, silently bidding you over to him. Taking a deep breath you walked over to him, quickly being lifted up with one of his hands making you tighten your hold on the pup in your arms. 
Sitting her on his lap he wrapped the arm he wasn't using to fish with around her back to support her. "What was that about?"
"I wanted to see if he..." nodding down to the little boy in your arms that was busy starring towards the sea. "had a name. Turns out Rocks didn't ask and so he decided his name should just be Xandros. Oh and he doesn't like my name so he said he's changing that too, said my name is now Xana."
Feeling his lip lift up into one of disgust he shook his head slightly. "Your name is your name, he can't change it."
"I know I'm just going to ignore anyone that uses anything but Y/n." you said with a firm nod. 
Humming he thought of something and smirked. "You gonna ignore me when I don't use your name as well then, Darlin', Little one, Lass, Sweetheart, Omega." he smiled, dipping his head to bury his nose into her neck and smiling when she giggled. 
"I guess I can give out one free pass." you smiled, turning your face to kiss his temple. Closing your eyes as you breathed in his scent and listened to his soft purr you quickly broke out of the serene moment. "ow. ow. ow." you winced, bending your head as the little boy yanked on your hair with all of his might. 
Sighing he straightened up and looked down as she tried to get the tiny hand to release her hair as he squealed in amusement. 
"Y/n." 
Hearing someone call you you both looked over to see Kureha standing in the doorway of the sick bay. Taking a deep breath you looked up to Ed and smiled. "I gotta go. I get to learn about sutures today." you told him excitedly. 
"As long as you don't practice on me." Sitting her down on her feet he went to kiss the top of her head but leaned back some when she grew enough to give him a proper kiss. Quickly feeling a spark of arousal he purred when she pressed her lips more into his. Gripping her hip as his desire grew he heard the baby let out another squeal, effectively ruining the moment. "Go on then." he told her and saw those electric blue eyes look into his before she moved to walk away but not before he could land a smack to her backside. Smirking as she looked back at him with a slight blush about her cheeks he lifted his sake to his lips. He'd have to see about Shakky keeping the brat tonight. 
.............................................
Humming you worked the needle through the fabric like Kureha had showed you, keeping your stitch lengths as evenly spaced as possible. 
"There is a difference between sewing fabric and stitching a wound closed but this will at least give you some practice with a needle."
So now here you sat on you and Ed's bed, alone for once since Shakky had offered to keep your baby brother tonight. Weaving the needle back through the fabric you made sure to not let your thread tangle. Hearing the door open and close before the click of the lock sounded you didn't have to look up from your work to know who it was, only one person permitted to be in here. 
Kicking off his boots and tossing his bandana to the table he glanced to the bed to see his omega sitting with her back against the wall, her knees pulled up and her hands busy working on something. Quickly noticing she was wearing his shirt as it allowed him to see the smooth skin of her thigh he licked his lips and moved onto the bed with her. Laying on his stomach with his face close to her he propped his head up on one fist, the other moving to stroke the length of her leg, starting at her ankle. "Whatcha doin' there my little lass?" he questioned, scanning his eyes over her body until it landed on the grey blue fabric in her hands, the small blanket Rocks had the babe wrapped in. 
"Mmm practicing my stitching." you told him to which he only hummed and continued running his warm calloused fingers over your bare legs. Finishing the first outline of letters you stuck the needle into the fabric so it wouldn't hang loosely before turning it towards him. "What do you think? Is it legible?"
Forcing his eyes away from her thigh and to the blanket as she turned it towards him he saw she had stitched a word or rather name into the fabric, the red string sewn into loops and lines to form the name. "Who picked that name?"
"I did. I sure as hell ain't calling him Xandros." you huffed. 
Chuckling he gave a nod. "Sounds good darlin'." 
"Thanks, I'm going to go over it a few times, make it thicker and easier to see..." 
"Mmm later." he quickly said, taking the thing from her and laying it on the table out of the way. "You already have things to do tonight." 
Being tugged down to lay on the bed when he grabbed your lower leg and pulled you down you let out a small chirp. Moving your hands up when he pulled your or rather his shirt above you head, tossing it to the side as well. 
Having her bare finally he dipped his head to lick a path up from her knee to her sweet treasure. Nudging her legs open with his nose he flicked his tongue out to lap at the entire area between her thighs. With her still being in her normal size he could cover her entire womanhood and part of her inner thighs with one lick of his tongue. Being able to taste her arousal as he dragged his tongue over her slit, flicking the tip at the end he heard her suck in a breath and growled as his cock hardened. Moving one of his hands up to her chest he ran his fingers over her breasts feeling her nipples harden. Pinching her tit he heard her gasp out and smirked before pulling his hand back between her legs and running the tip of his finger over her slit, her slick coating the digit. Lapping up her cunt he hummed at the taste he loved so much. Needing more and not wanting to hurt her he groaned out the command for her to grow and felt her instantly obey him. 
As soon as you were in your larger size he buried his face between your thighs and began feasting on you. Arching your back as pleasure overtook you he was quick to cover your mouth with his hand. When mating became a normal thing for the both of you to do you had at first worried that you had been doing something wrong and tried to keep from making any noise. As they forced their way from your mouth and he muffled them with his hand or mouth you had felt embarrassed, assuming he thought your noises were annoying. Once the both of you had caught your breath after finding release you had stared at the wall and quietly apologized, promising to try and stay quiet in the future. 
"Ya don't know how much I crave to hear yer sweet moans. One day I will have ya screamin' my name so loud the heavens will hear it but not until we are off this ship, not till I know those fucks won't hear ya, that they won't use yer cries fer their own pleasure." he spoke, his voice turning into a low growl before kissing the crown of your head. 
Feeling him tease you before slowly pushing his finger into you, you couldn't help but bite down on his hand. It had been over a week since the both of you had enjoyed the feel of each other's body and it showed as just one pump of his finger sent a quake of bliss shooting up your spine. Your alpha seemed to not mind you biting him however as he began simultaneously pleasuring you with his mouth as he thrusted his thick finger in and out of you. 
Grinning as he felt her sink her teeth into his hand all the while small muffled moans flowed out around them he watched her body arch as he curled his finger just right, hitting that sweet spot inside of her. Getting into a rhythm he soon felt her walls clenching around his finger and expertly sucked her clit which sent her over, his hand just barely muffling her cries of pleasure. Without giving her time to come down completely he crawled up her body, kicking his pants off and suckling at her pert nipple for a moment. 
Only slightly aware of his fingers leaving you, a feeling of emptiness making you whine you had to suck in a shaky breath as your still pulsing core was filled to it's limit and probably a little more by your alpha's monster of a cock. The feeling of his warmth enveloping you making you feel safe and secure.
He went slow, he always did, worried he would hurt her, his little omega. Squeezing his eyes shut he grit his teeth and growled in the pleasure that he only ever experienced when they both were one. Holding himself up with one forearm above her head he used his free hand to grab her thigh, lifting her leg up onto his hip so he could sink deeper into her. Groaning out a moan of his own into her neck as he bottomed out he felt her fingers grip his back, tugging his hair some. Taking a moment to regain control of the alpha who only wanted to fuck her until she forgot her own name and couldn't walk for the next few days he took a deep breath of her scent. Once he had the reins he brushed her hair out of the way with his nose so he could suck and lick at her neck. 
Closing your eyes when he began thrusting and giving attention to your neck, no doubt marking you in the process you soon got lost in it all. Rocking with him you breathed in his scent as you focused on the feel of his warm skin on yours, the feel of his cock making you feel so good. Kissing him back when his mouth trailed kisses up your neck and jaw to your lips you sucked at his thick tongue when he rolled it into your mouth. 
Lacing their fingers together he held her hand down by her head as the other held her breast, pinching her nipple between his knuckles. She just felt so damn good and he wanted this to never end. Kissing her with all the love he had for her he rolled his hips at angle that he knew made her see stars. Swallowing her moans he couldn't help but let out sounds of his own pleasure as he felt his climax nearing. Rubbing his hand down her side and hip to hold her ass in his hand deepened his thrusts. As soon as her walls tightened around his dick he was gone. Kissing her like it was their last he groaned in time with her moans, filling her with his seed. 
Holding onto him like you would soon float away if he wasn't there you saw sparks behind your lids that was only prolonged by the pooling warmth filling your womb. As your high started to turn into exhaustion you hummed against his lips that were now peppering yours softly. Slowly opening your eyes as he pressed his forehead to yours you saw his warm yellow eyes staring back down into yours, a look of contentment in them. 
"I love you." you both spoke in unison. 
Giggling lightly you saw him smile and leaned up to kiss him once more which he was all too happy to return.

Finder’s Keepers Ch.10

"mmm." Feeling your brow twitch you only woke slightly before sleep quickly started to take back over. Attempting to wiggle back more into Edward's chest you felt as his arm subconsciously tightened around your middle, tugging you as close as you were physically able to get to one another. Drifting back off to sleep you were awoken once more, this time fully by the sound of your name being yelled from the deck. Judging by the way your alpha's body tensed behind you, you guessed he had also heard it as well. 
"Damnit girl get your ass up here!" 
Growling he sat up from bed, untangling his nude body from his omega. "Just what the fuck does that asshole want this late at night?" Standing up he lit the candle before he grabbed his discarded pants and the shirt she had been wearing earlier before they had been tossed to the floor in a rush to feel one another's bare skin. Handing his omega his shirt she had taken ownership over he saw her sit up with a wince and give a yawn as she pulled it over her head none too elegantly. 
"Y/N!!"
Growling as you rolled out of bed you glared to the door. "I'M COMING!" Nearly falling as your legs and hips ached like they did after every intense mating with your monster sized alpha you felt a large, warm hand catch you and hold you up until you got your footing. "When did he even get back?" you questioned. Rocks had been gone for two days now, leaving for the island as soon as the ship was close enough for him to row one of the tender boats to shore and giving the command for no one else to leave the ship. 
"Come on darlin' let's go see what's got him all bent out of shape then I'll bring you back down so you can sleep some more." Pressing a kiss to her claiming mark he heard her sigh before she nodded her head and took his hand. 
Led up the stairs by your alpha you glanced around his large frame as you neared the deck. Seeing most of the crew there you furrowed your eyes. Something wasn't right. Hearing thunder in the distance and the flapping of the sails in the strong wind you swallowed hard as you took the last step up and moved to stand beside Ed. Looking across the deck you saw Rocks standing there with something in his arms and an angry look on his face. 
"Rocks, just what the hell do yo..." 
"This ain't got nothin' ta do with you Newgate." Rocks spoke in a deep voice. Looking to the omega standing beside the male he raised his chin. "This is family business. Come here pup." 
Shocked by the name he had just called you, you could only blink and while you would have normally retorted with some snappy remark the serious look on his face and the take no shit tone of his words made your feet move for you. The feel of Ed's warm hand leaving yours made goosebumps cover your arms and the closer you stepped towards the red eyed demon you were forced to call father you felt the hairs on the back of your neck stick up. Glancing to the bundle in his one arm you tried to figure out what it was but failed. Coming to stand just before him you finally looked up to met his eyes. 
"Got a job for ya. Something ta keep ya busy and finally earn yer stay on my ship." 
"And that would be?" you asked, narrowing your eyes up at him questionably. Seeing his lip twitch before he was moving you braced yourself for a slap or some other repercussion but instead he only moved to hand you the bundle in his arms. Stiffening you snapped your eyes down as the bundle of blankets were placed in your arms and what you saw peeking out of you from the sea of fabric made your heart hammer in your chest. It was a face. A small sleeping face. "A..a baby?"
"You stole someone's pup?" Edward growled as he moved closer to his female who was now holding the child in her arms.
Ignoring the alpha male he looked down to his daughter. "Your brother." 
Brother? You had a brother?
"He's your responsibility. You'll take care of him. As an omega it should come natural to you." Rocks huffed. 
You didn't say a word, still amazed by the tiny human in your arms, your little brother. Your family. 
"You can not be serious! Have you lost your damn mind?! She isn't some babysitter for you to dump one of your mistakes on! You made the brat you take care of him!" Ed yelled at the other alpha.
"I make the rules on this ship Newgate, or have you forgotten that?!"
Hearing your alpha and father yelling at each other you tensed as the baby's face started to scrunch up and then he began to cry. Shaking you moved your one hand up to gently touch the pup's cheek, your fingers shaking. "n..no, no don't cry. It's alright." As the two alpha's yelling only got worse and the thunder grew closer the baby only started to cry louder, his little lips trembling. "Please don't cry baby. Don't cry." Feeling your heart hammering in your chest and your whole body beginning to tremble as you started to panic you heard Kaido huff. 
"Good thing she didn't end up pregnant when you knotted her Newgate, bitch would have made a horrible mother, she can't even get a pup to stop crying." 
"You fucking worm I'll rip your..."
"Omega that can't serve her purpose ain't worth anyone's time." 
"Bet you wish you would have just left the whore in her cage now don't you Newgate? Of course you could always dump her off on some island..."
Feeling tears fall from your eyes as the yelling, crying and hurtful words became too much you tightened your arms around the bundle and quickly made your way down the stairs to the only safe place you had on this hell ship. Getting inside you laid the blankets on the bed and looked to the small screaming face inside of them. Backing away to the wall you felt it getting harder to breath and closed your eyes. The cries seemed to get louder and louder until all you could do was cover your ears with your hands and turned away as you too cried. They were right, you didn't know what to do. You didn't know anything about being a mother or even a caregiver to a child. What if he realized you were in fact a mistake? What if he agreed with what they were saying? What if he got rid of you? Feeling a sharp pain in your chest you curled in on yourself and sunk to the floor. 
Gasping for air as it became harder to take breaths you opened your eyes to stare at the floor, keeping your hands over your ears. Able to see the smallest movement of the babe you felt more tears fall from your eyes. Turning your face towards the wall you opened your eyes the slightest amount and saw a bit of the charcoal drawing there. Slowly lifting your head some so you could look over the drawing of your home island you blinked as thoughts of your Grandmother and the mother you never truly got to know filled your head. Your family. Slowly moving your eyes back to the thrashing bundle on the bed you sniffled. Your family. Removing your hands from your ears and slowly making your way over to the bed you wiped your eyes before climbing up onto the bed and turning him towards you once you got situated on your side of the bed. His face was red from crying. There was a small dusting of hair on his head that made your lip twitch. "Looks like we both ended up with his hair. Sorry about that." you spoke in a still shaky voice. Gently unwrapping the blanket from him until you were able to see his little feet and hands thrashing about you licked your lips and gently pushed your hands under him to lift him up. 
At first he continued screaming his little head off so you did the only thing you could think of, you hummed and rocked back and forth. It took a while but soon he began to calm down. Watching as he let out a long yawn, his little eyes looking into yours before they slowly slipped close. Grinning the smallest amount you felt everything catching up with you making you feel exhausted yourself. Taking a deep breath you held him to you with one arm while you tried to move things on the bed around. Once you had stuffed the blanket he had been wrapped in between the wall and bed to make sure he wouldn't fall down there you slowly and gently moved to lay the both of you down, stilling every time he would make a noise or flinch. Keeping him held against your chest you pulled the blanket over the both of you. Staring down at the babe, your little bother, you licked your lips. "It's going to be okay, I'll take care of you." you told him. You didn't know if he has any other family, if his mother had died like yours. Considering Rocks had went and gotten him you assumed not. Well he would still have you and you would have him. Taking a breath you blinked slowly, staring at his little face and listening to his little sniffles until you could hold your eyes open no longer. 
..............................................
He was seething as he made his way down the stairs to his cabin door. Opening it he glanced over to the bed to see his omega sleeping. Stepping closer to the bed he glanced over her to see the tiny pup fast asleep as well, cuddled up to her chest with his hand wrapped around a lock of her hair that matched the small amount on his own head. Gritting his teeth and feeling his lip twitch he gave a grunt when he noticed their blanket wrapped around them. Hearing his lass let out a soft sigh as she cuddled the babe to her gently he let out a long sigh of his own and moved to lay down on the edge of the bed, slowing his movements when he heard the babe let out a tiny whimper. Once he was laying down he reached up to snuff the candle making the room go dark. He'd get at least an hour or so sleep before waking up to work the deck. 
..........................................
"What's wrong with him?" you asked as the baby cried, looking up to your alpha who was busy putting on his boots while you sat on the bed trying to sooth the screaming child. 
"If I had to guess I'd say he's most likely hungry." he huffed out. 
Licking your lips you gave a small bounce of your arms, glancing down to your little brother and then up to your mate who hadn't even looked at you since you both were woken to the pup's crying. "B..but what do I feed him?"
Freezing for a moment he knit his brows. "You don't even know what babies eat?"
Furrowing your brows at the tone of his voice you kept your eyes down "I...I don't kn..."
"Milk, Y/n. Babies drink milk." he huffed out before standing and walking to the door. 
Opening your mouth to tell him you knew that babies drank milk from their mothers you didn't get the chance as he just simply walked out, shutting the door behind him. Feeling a clenching in your chest you slowly dropped your eyes back down and blinked away the tears that tried to fall from your eyes. Taking a deep breath you watched as your baby brother began sucking on his fist and bit your lip. "It's okay I'll find you something to eat." Laying him on the bed so you could get dressed you wrapped him in the smaller blanket that was his before lifting him up and walking towards the door. Finding it unlocked you made your way up to the kitchen, already hearing yelling from the deck, once of the voices sounding like Ed. Peeking inside to make sure no one was in there you moved inside and over to the large fridge. Scanning the shelves for a moment you grabbed the one of the glass jugs with what you assumed was milk, confirming it when you smelled it yourself. Shutting the fridge you stood there in thought for a moment, wondering how exactly you were to go about this when a voice spoke from the doorway. 
"He won't be able to drink that as is you know." 
Turning around you saw Lin Lin leaning against the doorway with one hand on her hip. "What do you mean?"
The alpha female smirked before pushing off the door and moving towards the omega, taking the glass jug from her and moving towards the stove, grabbing a pot on the way. "When they are little like that they can't drink cold milk, really they aren't supposed to drink cow's milk either but considering he isn't yours and you aren't making any milk yourself, nor any other female on this ship cow's milk is the best that little tike is going to get. So come over here and I'll show you what to do, watch closely because I'm only helping you out this once." 
Quickly walking over to the stove you grew to your larger size so you could watch her more closely. Seeing her add the milk into a pot before grabbing the sugar and adding just a small amount to it as she told you it was to get him to take it better you nodded. From there she just simply stirred it with the wooden spoon as it heated. Seeing her dip her finger into it and hum you again furrowed your brows. 
"Let me see your hand." 
Adjusting the baby so you coudl hold your hand out you stiffened as she reached out and turned your palm up before lifting the spoon and dripping some of the milk onto your wrist. 
"Not too hot, not too cold. If you can barely feel a temperature difference then it's prefect." Lin soke and saw the omega nod. "Now I only have one of these left so you'll have to keep it clean." 
Seeing her pull out a bottle of sorts with some sort of rubber thing on top you knit your brows. 
"Not a real nipple but he'll get used to it. Took my son a couple of tries before he finally took it." Lin assured her as she poured the milk into the glass bottle and popped the nipple on top. 
This perked your interest. "Your son? I didn't know you were a mother." 
"Wouldn't be able to tell this body had given birth now would ya but believe it or not I have five children." 
"Five?" you gasped. 
"MAMAMA yep, four boys and one girl." she smiled proudly as she moved the bottle to the baby's lips. 
Seeing your baby brother instantly open his mouth for he food and start drinking, only making a face twice you smiled and felt a bit of relief before you took the bottle from Lin's hand to hold yourself. "Thank you." Moving to sit at the small table you watched as she made herself something to eat. "What are their names?" you asked, wanting something to talk about.
"Perospero is my oldest, then my daughter, Compote, then there is my triplets Katakuri, Daifuku and Oven." Lin smiled as she cooked. 
Odd names but you said nothing. "Where are they?" you asked, never having seen or heard and children on the ship. 
"OH I left them on an island with a friend of mine. I go see them when I can." 
Humming you looked down to the baby in your arms, watching him drink happily. Hearing a small clink you glanced up to see Lin sitting down at the table with a plate of food that made your mouth water. Feeling your stomach give a small growl you glanced down again to the baby and sighed, you guess you would have to wait. 
.......................................
Life with a baby was hard, very hard. There was always something he needed, always something to do. He was hungry, he needed to be changed, he was fussy, he was tired. Never in your life did you think you would have to hold a crying baby while you went pee. Of course it didn't help that every time you tried to get him to sleep there was some loud noise that woke him up. And you knew it wasn't his fault, you knew he wasn't accustomed to life on a chaotic pirate ship but you just wanted five minutes to yourself. By the end of the day you were exhausted and hungry and desperately wanted a shower since he had spit up on you twice. Sitting on the bed you waited and waited for Ed to come down to the room, waited for him to bring you something to eat for the first time today but as the sky darkened your eyes started to droop more and more. As the baby finally fell asleep nestled against your chest you moved to lay him down and the thought of laying on the bed yourself and shutting your eyes for just five minutes sounded too sweet so you decided to just rest, to just close your eyes but not sleep until Ed got here. 'Just a small rest.' Laying down beside the little one you closed your eyes. 
Waking up to a cry you snapped your eyes open and noticed the room was dark. Glancing down you saw from the light of the moon, the small baby beside you was crying. Hearing a groan and then the bed shake you peeked over your shoulder at the large male that was rolling over to face away from you. Ed? When had he gotten back? He hadn't woken you or pulled you on top of his chest to sleep like he normally did. Sitting up you looked to the bedside table to see he hadn't even brought you anything to eat. Frowning you lifted the babe into your arms and tried to rock him back asleep but he wasn't having it. Checking his diaper you felt the cloth liner inside wet and sighed. Looking towards the door and then your alpha you licked your lips. "Ed..." 
"Sleep, I just want some damn sleep."
Curling up some as he growled into the pillow you dropped your eyes down before climbing off the end of the bed and scooping your little brother up into your arms. Walking towards the door you glanced back towards your mate to see him laying on his side of the bed with his pillow wrapped around his head to cover his ears as the pup screamed. Opening the door you shut it back behind you before making your way to the kitchen to start another pot of milk while you changed the baby in your arms. 
.......................................
It had been a while since you had been this hungry and never in your life could you recall being this tired. Even after you had fed and changed the small babe he had not settled down and so you had chosen not to return to you and Ed's shared room, not wanting to wake him again. Instead you took your little brother up to the deck. That seemed to calm him some and you noticed him looking up towards the stars but he would only stay calm if you continued walking around the deck while gently bouncing him. Awake for the shift change for watch duty you bit your tongue and swallowed down the lump that grew in your throat as the two crew members commented on your incapability to care for a pup. While you tried to shake their words from you head you couldn't help but think that they were right and even worse that Edward had also noticed your lack of 'common omega purposefulness'. Was that why he was avoiding you? Was that why he seemed to be distancing himself from you? What if he had noticed and what if now he had changed his mind about you? He had told you he wanted a family, that he wanted pups. If you weren't even capable of caring for one baby then how coudl he expect you to make a good mother to his own children. Feeling a clenching in your heart you took a deep breath and raised your eyes to watch the rising sun on the water. 
......................................
"Y/n." Kureha spoke when the female did not respond to her question.
Standing by the small cot as Kureha looked over the little boy you felt your eyes droop, desperate to close but you were quick to blink them open and give a small shake to wake yourself up. He was still whimpering and fusing and no matter what you did nothing seemed to work. Not knowing what else to do you had taken him to the doctor, hoping she coudl tell you something to do to help him. Recalling that she had spoken your name when you saw her looking to you, you licked your dry lips and met her eyes. "I'm sorry, what was it you said?"
"I asked you what you had been feeding him?" Taking the time to look over the small female she narrowed her eyes. "Y/n you look unwell, are yo..."
"Milk... cow's milk. Lin showed me how to heat it on the stove with a spoonful of sugar." you told her, quickly cutting her off from questioning you and dropping your eyes back down so she would hopefully not notice how drained you were. 
"Hmm, well that is the problem right there. No doubt he was used to drinking milk from his mother or so we will assume. While it is fine for infants to drink animal milk after one year of age it is not recommended until they are at least a year old. There is too much protein difference between human milk and animal for their stomachs to break down. no doubt he has been experiencing cramps, diarrhea and gas because of it. Which is the most likely reason why won't or rather can not sleep. Well that and the added sugar."
It took a few seconds longer for you to process all that she had said but once you had you gave a nod as you stared down at the babe that currently held you finger in his fist. "So what can I feed him?"
"Well since there is no female on this ship that is currently lactating he will have to drink formula."
"Formula?"
"Yes, it's a substitute for infants that they are able to digest. I will pick some up now, I was just heading into the town before you came in." Kureha spoke and again saw the omega nod. Noticing the small shaking of her hands she hummed. "Does Newgate know you haven't been sleeping, when was the last time you ate?"
Stiffening you snapped your eyes up to your mentor and shook your head. "I'm fine. I'm just... I'm trying to learn, I'm..."
"You're exhausted Y/n. Not to mention you haven't been in to practice your medical training in days. Have you even finished that book yet?"
"I'll be okay. Once I can give him some of that formula stuff he won't hurt anymore, he'll sleep and.. and then I can sle... work on finishing the book." you assured her but from the looks of it she didn't buy it. "Please. Please don't say anything to him." you begged her, finally looking into her grey eyes. You didn't want to bother your alpha anymore than you already were. It had been a total of five days since you had been put in charge of caring for your little brother and in those five days your alpha had barely looked at you and they only time he ever really spoke to you was when he was complaining about the baby's screaming. After arriving at the Island yesterday he had quickly told you that he was heading out and that he'd be staying on the island until Rocks wanted to leave, saying he'd be able to get a full night's sleep without having to listen to 'that little brat's' screaming. He had even huffed out that when he got back that you'd have to figure out where else to keep him at night because he was done sharing his bed with him. Speaking of.... "Kureha um... is there... is there anyway we could sleep in here?"
"Who?"
"Me and... and him." you said, nodding down to the now crying pup. 
"Y/n this isn't some nursery, it's a Sick Bay, used for medical purpose only." she told her as she crossed her arms over her chest. 
"I...I know I just..." you spoke now dropping your eyes back down as you scooped up your crying brother. 
"No Y/n. I'm sorry but no."
"Okay. I.. I'm sorry." you spoke quietly, feeling guilty for even asking now. 
Sighing the doctor looked to the omega. "I will go and get his formula it shouldn't take me long." Seeing her nod she moved to the door but stopped when the girl spoke once more.
"You won't say anything to him will you? Please promise me you won't." you begged her, looking up into her eyes.
Taking notice of the dark circles incasing the omega's bloodshot eyes along with her slightly thinner face and dry lips she huffed to herself. "I won't say anything to him." 
Closing your heavy eyelids you let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you." Hearing the Doctor's huff and practically feeling her roll her eyes you heard as she told you she would return soon before the sound of the door opening and closing hit your ears. Taking a deep breath you forced your eyes open enough to look down at the two little watery eyes looking up at you. "It's okay, you'll have something good to eat soon." you assured him. 
...........................................
True to her word it only took Kureha a little over an hour to get back to you with the formula and you were even more surprised to see Shakky return with her. "Your back." you spoke to your friend with as big of a smile as you could muster. She had been gone for nearly three weeks now, telling you she had some personal business to attend to. 
"That I am. It seems I missed quite a lot since I was gone." Shakky said as she walked towards the exhausted looking omega with the small baby in her arms. She had only been gone for a short time but still she could see that her friend had in fact lost weight and looked completely drained. Moving to stand beside the woman she glanced down to the sniffling baby in her arms and saw that like his older sister he had a head of hair to match their father's. "Well hello there little one." she spoke with a small smile, moving her hand to stroke the baby's cheek which he instantly tried to turn to suckle. "He's hungry." 
"Well let's fix that. Come on Y/n I'll show you what to do." Kureha spoke, walking to the Sick bay with the box in her arms. 
Seeing the omega nod and turn to follow the doctor she narrowed her eyes at the pure exhaustion in her form. Sharing a glance with the other female she saw Kureha raise her brows. "Y/n I'll catch up with you tomorrow alright, I have something I have to take care of."
"You're leaving? But you just got back." you spoke turning to look at the woman you had come to call friend, your first friend. While yes you were exhausted you would have liked her company while you stayed awake another night.
"I promise I will be here tomorrow and I will not be leaving again for a while. I just have this one thing to take care of and it is important I see to it now. So you go ahead and get him fed and then try and lay him down." Shakky spoke and bit down on her cigarette when she saw the woman try to cover a yawn. 
"O...okay but he isn't much of a sleeper." you told her after covering a yawn that made your body feel even more heavy if it were possible. 
"Well we will just have to work on getting him on a schedule." she assured her, rubbing her arm and grinning reassuringly. "Go on now." Watching the omega walk into the Bay she narrowed her eyes and took a long drag from her cigarette before turning on heel and leaving to go find a certain large male. 
........................................
You were so relieved when your little brother finally took the formula that you nearly cried. He always fought the cows milk but within a few seconds he latched right onto the bottle and started sucking down the new milk substitute. As soon as he was done you had changed him into a new diaper and carried him down to the room to sleep. Once in the room however you froze. Starring at the bed you furrowed your brows and bit your lip. What if he came back? He had said he wouldn't share his bed anymore but you didn't have anywhere else to go. You suppose you could go to the hull but the thought of trying to sleep in a room with the rest of the sketchy crew made you curl up in fear. You couldn't imagine what they would do if they were woken by the baby's crying not to mention what some of them would try to do to you if they got the chance. Licking your lips you glanced around the room until your eyes landed on the corner of the room by the foot of the bed. Blinking and then taking a deep breath you moved to place him down on the bed so you could work something out. 
.......................................
Making his way up the gang plank and onto the ship he saw no one on deck but Kureha who merely looked to him and huffed before looking back out at sea and drinking from her bottle of sake. Taking a deep breath he made his way down the stairs, the still stinging handprint on his face pulsing with every step he took. Never before had he seen the fire in Shakky's eyes burn so brightly than when she starred into his own, asking him in an eerily collected fury what the hell he thought he was doing as he sat at one of the empty bars drinking his sake. 
"Have you happened to actually look at your omega recently or have you been too busy pouting and focused on your own discomfort with the new addition to the ship to notice the effect it has taken on the woman you claim to love?"
Whipping the blood from his lip he looked down at the beta female with a shocked look that quickly turned into confusion. "What the hell ya talking about Shakky?"
"Tell me Edward when was the last time you saw her sleep properly that wasn't just her nodding off? When was the last time you made sure she ate or bathed? Have you even asked her how she was taking her new role as a infant caregiver, if she needed any help or did you just assume she would instantly know what to do simply because she was an omega." Shakky questioned as she stood tall, her one arm crossed under her breast while the other held her cigarette as she stared down the twenty two foot alpha male. 
"I...she..." he started but was quickly cut off. 
"Was it not you that told me that she was not some prize mare, that she was still a person?"
"She's not.... I... I mean she is... she is a person." 
"Then why is it you thought that she, a person that has been kept in a cage for nearly her whole life would know anything about caring for a baby, omega or not?" When the male said nothing she blew out a string of smoke. "I've been told that the crew has been saying things about her, to her, about her difficulties adjusting to the role of a mother. Awful things, things that no doubt forced their way into her mind even if she tried to ignore them. Did you assure her that they were not true or did you stay back and let her take every slice herself? And do not tell me you didn't know Edward because I know you can feel her pain." Seeing the male reduced to silence she took another drag from the cigarette before raising her chin and looking him dead in the eye. "For someone who wants a family one day you are doing a piss poor job of showing the woman who will give you those pups that you will in fact make a good father."
Those, those had been the words that had rendered him speechless, made his stomach knot and twist. She had knew it too because she had said nothing else as she turned around and walked over to the other side of the bar to order a drink, her eyes never moving to look at him again. Without another word he had pushed himself up from the floor that her stunning slap had sent him to and started his way back to the ship. 
Getting to his room door he heard nothing from inside and gently eased the door open. Seeing it dark inside he quietly moved over to light the candle. Looking to the bed he froze when he saw no one there and he furrowed his brows before he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. Looking over he saw a sight that made the blade of guilt cut him open. There in the corner of the room by the foot of the bed was his omega. She was fast asleep, laying on the bare wooden floor while the tiny pup laid in the middle of her pillow that she had no doubt set out for him. The pup was tucked tightly away in the blanket Rocks had him wrapped in when he handed him off to his sister. Y/n herself however had no blankets whatsoever as she had her knees pulled up as much as possible and one hand over her baby brother to ensure he was safe beside her. 'You, Edward Newgate are a complete piece of shit.' he told himself. Rubbing his face he moved over to gently lift his mate up from the floor but she quickly snapped awake, her eyes hanging low over her eyes.
"Wha...what's wrong? Is..is he awake? I...I'm sorry I didn't hear him I..." 
"Shhhh. He's fine darlin', he's sleepin'." he assured her as he moved her onto the bed. 
"hhh..he can't sleep down there by himself." you said as you shook your head that felt fuzzy and heavy. "I'll sleep down there... I'll..."
"No lass. You aren't sleepin' on the floor, neither of you are." he told her as he moved to lift up the pillow with the tiny baby on it. Seeing him move a little bit but only give a small yawn before drifting back off to sleep he moved to lay him by his sister. Watching to make sure the boy didn't fuss he saw his exhausted female trying to fight sleep so he sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the covers up over her, moving his own pillow to be under her head. "Yer alright omega, go on to sleep now." he spoke to her in a low voice, rubbing his fingers over her back and side as she quickly drifted back off. Sitting there for a while he looked over his female's face, noticing the dark circles surrounding her eyes and look of her hair that desperately needed a wash and comb. He had a lot of making up to do and he would but first she would rest.
