The Moon To My Sun

The First Born

My pregnancy with Hawk wasn’t easy, from the moment he was able to move he didn’t stop, constantly kicking me and moving around making it difficult to sleep almost every night. The only time he calmed down was the one night Mihawk had his hand on my bump. Since then I’ve demanded he do it every night.

Although when I became 6 months pregnant, my hormones were raging, I would go from cuddling into Mihawk to throwing stuff at him for breathing! Then immediately cry for his embrace again, to say I terrified the man was probably the understatement of the century.

But no matter what Mihawk was there every single day while still performing his warlord duties before coming home and making me an amazing dinner with this special wine he had prepared. I started to drink it every day since the start of my pregnancy, I couldn’t hold anything down but once I started drinking the non-alcoholic wine I found it easier…

It was definitely a unique wine however it wasn’t till after giving birth to Hawk did I find out it was blood! I would have blown up at Mihawk for this if it hadn’t saved my life. What once was sweet and delicious to drink became revolting to keep down. However Hawk was more than happy to drink it, he must of been able to scent it cuz he cried immediately until Mihawk dipped a dummy into the blood for the little terror to suck on… so that confirmed it, Hawk took after his vampire father but in more ways than one as I looked down at the little face noticing the same features, the black fuzzy hair… explains my heartburn… and his golden eyes when he looked up at me and his father.

I started to cry again, not because the child had no resemblance to me but because he was so perfect.

“He has chubby cheeks like you!” I spoke in a tone that was close to sobbing.

This made Mihawk flabbergasted

“I don’t have chubby cheeks!”

A laugh escaped my lips, winding Mihawk up was just too easy, the little guy coo’d before grasping my pinky finger in his tiny hand that made me emotional as hell.

“Where’s the baby?!”

Shanks came bursting into me and Mihawk’s bedroom, clearly news went around fast but then again, Mihawk was very excited to be a father despite trying so hard to hide it.

As Shanks came running over at my side seeing the little one in my arms.

“f**k….”

My eyes widened hearing Shanks curse under his breath.

“Dad!”

“Well me and Buggy made a bet that he’d look like me because you look like me but that baby… is just 100% Hawkeyes…”

Before I knew it Buggy came tumbling into the room as well.

“I HEARD I WON!!! GIMME THE BERRI SHANKS!!”

Laughter spread around the room as Mihawk took Hawk into his arms only for the little one to start screeching and immediately calm down in my arms again making Mihawk pout.

“On second thought maybe he is like me”

Shanks chuckled before smirking and pats my head before whispering into my ear “you did good, little red”

A smile came across my lips hearing my father’s nickname for me until I turned to see Mihawk looking pissed that he was so excited for this baby to arrive only for him to screech in his arms.

The first few months of Hawk being a baby was exhausting since he only wanted my attention and screeched everytime Mihawk picked him up making him get even more frustrated.

But we figured out why that was, Hawk was more attached to me cause I still had human blood pumping through my veins and like Mihawk they were both addicted which worried me since I had to provide enough blood for both of them as for Hawk resenting Mihawk it was cause he wouldn’t give Hawk the blood he wanted - as a father Hawk expected him to provide and when Mihawk didn’t give him my blood the child would throw a screeching tantrum.

Since then we started to feed Hawk my blood and he started to bond with Mihawk more which was too much for my heart to handle!

“So… when you having a mini version of you?”

I chuckled at Shanks’ words while watching Hawk pull at Mihawk’s hair.

“Maybe one day… but I’m sorry dad… I think Mihawk’s genes are stronger than the ones you passed to me”

I burst out laughing seeing Shanks once again pout with his arms folded reminding me too much of Hawk… maybe the little one has taken after me more than I realised…
