The bell chimed for class to be over and winter break to begin. Loulee gasped picking up her bag and dashing out the door to the bus. While two grades higher Satori was putting on his backpack, and headed out to meet his father. But just like his father, he had no since of direction. So. Without him paying any attention. Satori ran into a little girl. Before she fell Satori grabbed her coat and helped her up.

"Sorry." Satori apologized.

Loulee smiled, "Don't worry about it, you looking for someone?"

Satori nodded, "Yeah my dad."

"Loulee! You better get on the bus!" A teacher called.

She gasped before waving to the boy and hopped up onto the bus. Satori waved back before he continued his search for his father. Zoro scooped him up having the boy gasp and turn to his father.

"Dad!" Satori grinned.

He embraced Zoro having him chuckle and hug him back.

"How was school?" Zoro asked.

"I can't tell you, or you will hear about your Christmas present." Satori said.

Zoro chuckled taking him to the car, Satori babbled about what he was going to ask for Christmas. Toy rockets, trains, oh and his first sword. Zoro chuckled making a mental note for what to add to his list. Once they got to the house Zoro pulled out a small key.

"You want to get the mail?" Zoro asked.

The boy gasped snatching the key and getting out of the car and getting the mail. He unlocked the box when the paper fell out and the front page had the Christmas Fair stained across the page. Satori grinned picking up the paper. He gathered the rest of the mail and shut the box before dashing inside.

"Son, you better take your shoes off." Zoro said.

Satori groaned kicking off his shoes and setting down his backpack. He hung up his coat and headed into the living room setting down the mail. Zoro perked up as Satori held up the Christmas Fair ad in the paper.

"Can we go this year dad, please. You said we could." Satori begged.

Zoro glanced his one eye up to his son, he sat forward on the couch.

"Aright, we will go. Once you clean up your room. Deal?" Zoro asked.

Satori nodded before dashing up to his room, Zoro chucked and sat back on the couch. He kicked up his feet and folded his arms back on the couch.

A few neighborhoods away, Loulee jumped off the bus and waved to the driver. She then started her way home. She walked with a few of her friends and waved goodbye when they got to there house. Loulee waved to her last two friends as she got to her front gate. She pushed open her gate to Sanji nodding to his work on the path to the house. He just finished shoveling the snow as he wiped his forehead.

"Dad, whatcha doing?" Loulee asked.

Sanji turned to Loulee and smiled, "I just finished shoveling the snow. So we can stop tracking it in."

She smiled, "You did a good job."

He chuckled, "Loulee, did you want to go to the Christmas fair this year?"

"Are we going because your working, or are we going for fun this year?"

She pursed her lips as Sanji sighed rubbing the back of his neck, "I promise we can do both this year. Just help me hand out hot foods and coco. Then you and me can go on all the rides you want."

Loulee held out her gloved pinkie, "Promise?"

Sanji linked his pinkie with hers, "I promise, just an hour until your papa Zeff gets there then you and me the rest of the night."

She smiled and headed inside, Sanji followed after her into there cozy home. A few hours later Sanji was dressed up as an elf while Loulee was a little reindeer with the makeup and all.

"Is papa gonna dress up too?" Loulee asked.

"He better be, or your uncle Yonji and I are going to be very mad." Sanji said booping her nose.

She giggled as Sanji got in the car and turned on the Christmas music, Loulee sang along as they headed on there way to the fair.

"Okay dad! It's all clean!" Satori cried.

Zoro cracked open his one eye and went up to Satori's room. Which was spotless, he sighed opening his closet seeing everything tidy and put away. Then under his bed, which was spotless besides the box under the bed. Satori tried to pull his father out from under his beg begging him not to touch it. Zoro sat up as Satori pouted in front of him.

"I made a deal, so. Get dressed, lets go to the fair." Zoro said.

Satori gasped grabbing his heavy coat while Zoro went to his room getting his coat and putting on his boots. Satori tried to get him to hurry up before sundown. He wanted to see them light up the Christmas tree. Zoro was putting on his beanie while Satori was pushing him out of the door. They got in the car Satori buckling himself, he couldn't contain his excitement he started bouncing in the back seat. Zoro smiled softly starting the car. They headed on there way down to the Christmas fair. When they got there Satori and Zoro tied a ribbon on both of there wrists. Since. They don't have a since of direction and get lost easily. They both held up there free hands.

"I promise to stay by daddy's side unless I have to go potty." Satori said.

"I promise to stay by my son's side and will wait until your done." Zoro said.

They both nodded taking hands and going into the fair, Satori was in awe looking at all the Christmas toys, and all the games. But his smile widened when he saw the large Christmas tree. There was a woman holding paper ordainments standing in the front of the tree.

"Have your child make a Christmas wish! Come get your ordainment to make a Christmas wish!" She called.

Satori tugged on Zoro's arm, "Dad can I do that?"

"Sure, but. Satori your forgetting our tradition." Zoro said.

"I am?"

"We go get hot chocolate before we do anything."

The boy gasped, "Can I pick where we get it?"

Zoro chuckled, "Sure son."

Satori and Zoro walked around the fair until they came to a little tent where a large sign with coco and hot foods grabbed Satori's attention. He pointed to the tent and looked up to Zoro.

"Can we go there dad?" Satori asked.

He smiled as they got in line to get something. Satori stood in front of the sign looking over what kind of coco he wanted.

"Next?"

Zoro pulled out his wallet and pulled out a couple of dollars.

"Yeah we'll have," Zoro looked up to Sanji, his breath hitched and eye widened.

Satori looked up to his dad who stood pretty much frozen. He turned to Sanji with a small smile on his face.

"Dad." Satori tugged on his hand.

Zoro snapped out of it having a small blush on his cheeks, "Two hot chocolates."

Sanji chuckled, as Loulee scooted closer to Satori.

"Hey." She whispered.

Satori turned to Loulee, "Hi."

"Hey, meet me by the Christmas tree in two minutes."

"Why should I?"

"I'll bring you a cookie."

"You got a deal."

She giggled as Sanji handed them there coco, Zoro handed him a five.

"Keep the change." Zoro muttered.

Then he and Satori disappeared into a small crowd, Satori looked up to his father. He hasn't seen him like this, quiet, lips pursed in a line, and a blush of pink across his face.

"Dad are you okay?" Satori asked.

He sighed, "I'm fine."

The boy giggled, "You looked funny looking at that elf who gave us our coco."

"I think he likes you." Loulee chimed.

Sanji smiled softly pulling on his coat, "Shush before papa hears you."

"Do you like him too?"

"Loulee, don't you have a wish to make?"

She gasped writing her wish onto the paper ordainment, Sanji stood in his winter clothes next to her. She covered her wish before holding it close. Sanji watched her sneak off into the crowd to hang up the ordainment. Once she did, she noticed the blonde haired boy hanging up his. They made eye contact as she grinned and motioned him over. Satori looked around before approaching her. She held out her hand.

"My name is Loulee, it's nice to meet you." She said.

"Oh your that girl I ran into this morning, I'm Satori." He said.

They shook hands before Loulee handed him the cookie.

"I saw the way your dad was looking at my dad." Loulee said.

"Yeah, it was weird." Satori said biting into the cookie.

"Let's hook them up." Loulee said.

"How?"

She motioned him closer cupping her hands over his ears.

Sanji zipped up his coat waiting on the sidelines for Loulee. He pulled on his gloves when he looked up noticing the green haired man a distance away. A red ribbon hanging off his wrist as he yawned.

"Hi."

Sanji turned to the boy from earlier, "Hello."

"I can't find my dad, can you help me?" Satori asked.

Sanji chuckled, "Sure kiddo."

"Um excuse me."

Zoro turned to Loulee, her arms behind her back. She was rocking on her heels looking up at Zoro.

"I can't find my Daddy can you help me?" She asked.

He noticed how much she looked just like the blonde he met earlier. He pursed his lips looking back to the tree. Zoro sighed kneeling down to the little girl.

"Where was the last time you saw him?" He asked.

"Loulee?"

They turned to Satori and Sanji standing beside them, Satori grinned and embraced his father.

"Stop wandering off!" Satori pouted.

Zoro smirked and wrapped the ribbon around his wrist. Satori had a small smile on his face looking up to Sanji who held Loulee's gloved hand.

"Satori." Zoro whispered.

The boy turned to his father, who looked nervous and a bit off.

"We're going to loose them in the crowd." Zoro whispered.

"Awe but dad! I wanna have fun with them." Satori whined.

Zoro grumbled, before he sighed and turned to the two blondes. He stood as Sanji held out his hand, he smiled giving a soft chuckle. His breath escaping into the cool crisp air. Zoro melted right then and there, he was truly beautiful.

"I'm Sanji." He said.

Zoro snapped out of it with a hint of blush and shook his hand, "Zoro."

Sanji chuckled, "Would you like to join us to visit Whitebeard?"

Satori gasped and tugged on his father's hand, "Oh can we dad, please, please."

"Alright fine." Zoro sighed.

Then they headed off to the line to see Whitebeard. Loulee and Satori looked up to there father's making little conversation. They turned to each other and nodded, having there second plan go underway. Zoro and Sanji exchanged a few laughs standing in line. But once they were up next Loulee and Satori went together.

"Um, Mr. Sanji." Satori said.

Sanji turned to the boy, "Yes?"

"Your going to have to hold my dads hand, he likes to wander."

Zoro blushed and rubbed his neck, "Satori."

The boy smiled, "I can't trust you to stay put for one minute."

Sanji chuckled, "It's alright."

Sanji held his hand out to Zoro, who took it. They interlocked fingers as Satori and Loulee went up to Whitebeard. The large man with an upturned mustache dressed in red and white. The snow started to fall, as Zoro and Sanji stood holding each other's hands. Zoro glanced over to Sanji adjusting his coat, Zoro took off his hat and put it on his head. Sanji smiled to this as Zoro turned away to watch the kids. Sanji smiled feeling the warmth from Zoro to him. He glanced to Zoro once more and squeezed his hand slightly, Zoro turned to him as he left a tender kiss to his cheek.

"Now what do you kids want for Christmas?" Whitebeard asked.

Loulee and Satori watched the tender moment before looking to the jolly old man. They smiled as they cupped there hands over his ears wishing for the same gift for Christmas. The old man chuckled.

"I will see what I can do." He said.

They gasped thanking him and leaving with a candy cane. Satori and Loulee headed back to there parents with a thin layer of snow on there heads and shoulders. They both smiled noticing there hands haven't let go yet.

"So what did you ask Whitebeard for Christmas?" Sanji asked.

"I'm not telling or it won't come true." Loulee said.

"Yeah! What she said." Satori nodded.

There was a soft chime of a bell having the children gasp.

"There going to light the tree!" They cried.

They took there father's hands and dragged them back to the tall tree where they hung up there ordainments. Sanji and Zoro tried to keep up with there impatient children as they practically dragged them to the tree. Once they got there the kids snuck by other adults to get to the front. Zoro and Sanji chuckled, watching there kids disappear.

"Stick together you two!" Sanji called.

Zoro smirked crossing his arms, "They didn't hear you."

Sanji turned to him stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Probably."

They sat in a soft silence, silently enjoying each other's company. Sanji turned to him as Zoro held out his hand. Sanji chuckled taking his hands and kept his hands warm between his gloved hands. Zoro watched as Sanji blew hot air onto his almost frozen hands. He put his cold hands on his cheeks and holding them there. Zoro looked up to Sanji who was already staring.

"Don't look now, but we're standing under a mistletoe." Sanji smiled.

Zoro chuckled looking up at the small plant hanging above them on a thin wire. He noticed many of them littered around the fair. Zoro turned back to Sanji and pulled him into a soft kiss. They pulled back when there was a loud cheer, the lights on the tree was lit up. They smiled pulling each other into an embrace and looked up to the tree. Zoro cleared his throat earning Sanji's attention.

"Wo-would you like to go out sometime?" Zoro asked.

Sanji smiled before kissing his cheek, "I'd love to."

Loulee and Satori high fived each other witnessing the scene. They approached there father's with wide smiles. Zoro and Sanji exchanged looks as the two started dancing around cheering.

"You know." Zoro started.

The two stopped as they knelt down to there level.

"You two are standing under a mistletoe." Sanji chimed.

There smiles faded as they glanced to each other with a disgusted look. Sanji and Zoro chuckled as the two gave a small peck to each other's cheeks. They tore away from each other wiping off the kiss from there cheeks. Sanji and Zoro chuckled as the two pouted crossing there arms.

"Dad, can Zoro and Satori come over for Christmas? I don't want it to just be us three like it is every year." Loulee pleaded.

"Yeah dad, can we?" Satori asked.

Zoro and Sanji exchanged looks before back to the children, "I don't see why not."

They cheered.

As the week went by, Zoro, Sanji and the two kids visited each other frequently. As Christmas Eve arrived, Zoro and Satori were invited over for a little. Sleepover. Zoro hid the presents in his trunk before he helped Satori into the car.

"Do you have everything, I don't want to come back to grab something." Zoro asked.

"Yes dad, stop worrying." Satori said.

Zoro sighed tossing his bag in the front seat and then started there way to Sanji's home. Once they got there, Loulee and Sanji were building a snowman. Satori couldn't contain his excitement and dashed out of the car before Zoro parked. He sighed getting out of the car and turned to Satori helping Loulee up on his shoulders. She held the head of the snowman reaching out to put the head on. Sanji tossed a snowball at Zoro's head earning his attention.

"You want to go?" Zoro asked.

Sanji laughed as a snowball fight broke out between both of the families. Which Sanji and Loulee were winning. They hid behind there barricade of snow, while Satori and Zoro hid behind the snowman. There fun was cut short when the kids started getting cold. Leaving Zoro and Sanji to finish the snowman.

"What do you think there talking about?" Satori asked.

Loulee shrugged leaning against the window ledge watching both of there father's putting a face on the snowman.

"What did you wish from Whitebeard?" Satori asked.

She giggled, "It's kind of silly."

"Not as silly as your eyebrows."

She turned to him and stuck out her tongue, Satori laughed as she turned away. They turned to Sanji screaming. He was dancing around trying to get the snow out from behind his coat. Zoro was laughing in the snow watching him. Loulee and Satori giggled.

"I wished for you to be my sister, and your dad to be my dad." Satori said.

Loulee gasped and turned to him, "I did too."

They both laughed but stopped when the door was opened. Zoro and Sanji were drenched, clutching there coats and sniffling. Loulee and Satori giggled softly as Sanji went into the kitchen to make some coco and Zoro went into the bedroom to change.

"Loulee, Satori, you two want to set out the cookies and milk for Whitebeard?" Sanji asked.

They gasped getting up and going into the kitchen, they climbed up onto the kitchen chairs to the tray of cookies lying out on the table.

"Each of you pick two." Sanji said.

The two hummed grabbing two cookies and place them on the Christmas plate. Zoro stepped down in his pajama's, while Sanji handed out the cups of hot coco. Zoro sat next to Satori as he reached for a cookie on the plate. Satori batted his hand having Zoro pull away and furrow.

"Those are for Whitebeard." Satori huffed.

Zoro chuckled, as the kids went to the coffee table putting the plate on it. They couldn't wait until the morning and scurried off to bed.

"Dad we want the Christmas story!" Satori demanded.

Zoro chuckled going upstairs to the bedroom. Satori was getting all cozy in his sleeping bag on the floor while Loulee made a little bed for herself next to him. Sanji entered a moment after Zoro did holding the Christmas book. They sat on the floor before there children as Sanji opened the book.

"On December 25th living in the North Pole is a man named Newgate Edward or known as Whitebeard he is the definition of jolly and merry." Sanji started, "He holds a list of naughty and nice children. Then each year on that day he goes out with a bunch of his helpers to deliver the gifts to the good little boys, and little girls. Once all the children are asleep, he and his helpers take a large sleigh and head out across the land of Sunny. And once he is finished he laughs out going down the town waking all of the children."

Loulee and Satori grinned clutching there pillows, "When will be here?"

Sanji shrugged, "Once all the children are asleep."

"Maybe you two are the last awake, so he can't go out until your asleep." Zoro said.

They gasped getting up and kissing there father's before crawling back into there beds. Zoro and Sanji left leaving the two to fall asleep. Around one in the morning Zoro and Sanji went to see if the kids were asleep. To there surprise, they were. Holding there hands and facing towards each other. Sanji wrapped his arm around Zoro's hips looking at them. Zoro kissed his temple before Sanji shut the door. They both put the presents under the tree. A soft knock on the door caught there attention. They went to the door as Ace stood there with four presents each addressed to a member of the house.

"Merry Christmas." Ace bowed.

Then he dashed off to the sleigh where a few others jumped into the back. Then there was a loud laughter as the sleigh was pulled down the street with a few horses. Sanji and Zoro set the gifts under the tree. After a moment there was a scrambling and thumping down the stairs. Satori and Loulee gasped to the gifts under the tree.

"Merry Christmas kids." They said.

Zoro and Sanji watched them tear open there toys and Sanji and Zoro opened the gifts from Whitebeard and each other.

"What did you get?" Sanji asked.

Zoro stiffened shutting the box, "Oh, another set of earrings."

Sanji chuckled before he went to check on the kids.

It's been a year now, Loulee was now in the first grade, and Satori just entered the third. It was the day before Christmas break and it was recess time. Loulee stood with a few of her friends under cover waiting for Satori. They would always play together since last year.

"Well well, look what we have here. A bunch of first graders in the third grade area." a boy said.

Loulee and her friends furrowed, "Leave us alone."

"Oh yeah, who's gonna stop me?"

Satori tapped his shoulder, the boy turned to Satori and his face softened.

"Is this guy buggin you Loulee?" Satori asked.

She nodded. Satori grabbed his shirt and pinned him to the wall. The boy gulped as Satori clutched his fist and raised it up. The boy flinched having Satori chuckle and drop him.

"Don't come near my little sister again." Satori huffed.

The boy nodded, before scurrying away. Satori brushed off his hands and turned to the girls who cheered and latched onto him. Loulee smiled stuffing her hands in her pockets. Once time for them to go home Satori and Loulee got on the bus heading home. Sanji and Zoro moved in together about two months ago but haven't had the chance to tie the knot.

"You think pops will propose?" Loulee asked.

Satori shrugged, "I hope so."

"We gonna write it on our paper ordainments?" Loulee asked.

"You know it."

They chuckled playing I spy before the bus stopped. Satori and Loulee took hands hopping off the bus and waved to the bus driver. She waved back as the two kids headed to the house. The Baraite van was sitting outside as Zoro and Sanji were loading up the van with papa Zeff.

"Papa!" Loulee cried.

Satori grew shy and hid behind his father's leg. He's met Zeff before, but only a handful of times. Zoro patted his head as Zeff scooped Loulee up onto his hip.

"You ready to help your papa with his tent?" Zeff asked.

"Dad, they have to get dressed." Sanji said.

"Please tell me your not dressing me and my son up." Zoro whined.

"Yes, your going to be our little helpers." Sanji said patting his cheek.

Zoro grunted as Satori chuckled, they went inside changing Satori and Loulee into reindeer and Zoro into an elf. Matching Sanji. Sanji adjusted Zoro's hat and his coat before he stepped back. Zoro had a dark scowl on his face, his lips pressed in a line, and arms crossed.

"Do this for me, and I'll do something for you." Sanji hummed.

Zoro's face softened, "Fine."

Sanji embraced him before pulling back and kissing him softly. Zoro's hands wandered to the green fabric covering Sanji's ass. Sanji hummed as he squeezed softly. They were interrupted to Zeff spraying water at them from his spray bottle. Sanji and Zoro pulled away and got into the car. Satori and Loulee went with Zeff while Zoro and Sanji followed behind in another car. Once they arrived and set up, Sanji dished out hot foods while Loulee and Satori were bringing in the customers.

"Hey cook, it's time for the kids to make there Christmas wish." Zoro said.

Zeff smirked as Sanji furrowed turning to Zoro, something was up. But he brushed it off as Satori and Loulee went to the ordainment lady. Sanji just got done changing out of his costume. Earning a smack on the ass from Zoro. He stiffened and turned to Zoro. He was finally out of that costume and pulled Sanji close.

"Cook, can I ask you something?" Zoro asked.

Satori and Loulee pushed there way out of the crowd finding Zoro on a knee and Sanji gasping covering his mouth. Satori and Loulee grinned as Sanji nodded and embraced Zoro.

"Welcome to the family." Satori grinned."
