Zoro woke up uncomfortable. It took time but he got up and got dressed. He staggered to the kitchen where he saw the table set. Megumi smiling up at the cook. Zoro grins, he hasn't seen her like this in a while. It was a little selfish of him to take her away from Sanji even if she did agree. He watches as Sanji smiles down at her. They both notice Zoro standing there. Megumi hops off the chair she stood on, she runs to Zoro hugging him. She's extremely happy. 
                          
"Mommy! You woke up!" She says happily making contact with Zoro. Zoro grunts in pain but recovers quickly to smile down at her. Sanji notices though.
                          
"Well, I promised to drop you off today at school." Zoro pats her head. Sanji watches as Zoro limps his way to the table. He sits down with Megumi as Sanji brings the food over to the table. Zoro serves Megumi at least he tries, he winces as he reaches over.
                          
"I'll do it." Sanji announces. Zoro looks at him and nods. He sits back as Sanji serves them both including himself. They ate in silence, well Megumi was happy, she couldn't sit still. She's happy to be back. Zoro is too, but wont show it obviously.
                          
Zoro does Megumi's hair and they all walk together to the car. Zoro straggling behind. Sanji helps Megumi as Zoro slowly sits in the front passenger seat. He buckles himself in as Sanji sits in the drivers seat getting comfortable. The ride is filled with Sanji and Megumi discussing what's for dinner, Zoro is preoccupied thinking about something else. He's in a lot more pain than last night. 
                          
"Alright, chicken, broccoli, alfredo pasta it is." Sanji declares as he puts the car in park. Zoro is knocked out of his daze. He looks behind him to Megumi with a fake smile, Sanji notices this.
                          
"Well another day of first grade." Zoro grunts as he moves to unbuckle the seat-belt.
                          
"How about I walk you in today. Its been a while." Sanji smiles at Zoro then Megumi. His eye telling Zoro he knows.
                          
"Ok." Megumi unbuckled herself out. Sanji takes one last glance at Zoro before getting out the car. He walks around to join Megumi on the curb. Zoro watches from the car window as Sanji takes Megumi's hand in his and they walk to the front gate to great the teacher. Zoro let's out a painful groan as he lets his forehead rest against the glass.
                          
"Oh Mr. Vinsmoke." The teacher calls out. Sanji walks to her. "I'm so glad Megumi was found yesterday." She says with a smile. "We haven't seen you in a while."
                          
"Well with everything that happened yesterday Zoro is tired." He points to his car where they spot Zoro leaning against the window, seemingly asleep.
                          
"I hope everything is worked out?"
                          
"Yes. We talked." Sanji walks away with a smile and wave bye. Sanji continued walking with Megumi.
                          
"Dad," she says softly. Sanji looks down.
                          
"Yes."
                          
"I'm sorry I troubled everyone yesterday." Sanji stops them and gets down on one knee facing Megumi.
                          
"You didn't cause trouble you just made us all worry. And if you didn't do what you did yesterday me and mommy wouldn't have talked, and you both wouldn't have come back home. Ok"
                          
"Ok." Megumi smiles and gives Sanji a slight nod. Sanji drops off Megumi at her class. Happy to have her again.
                          
Zoro is startled by the driver side door opening. He opens his eyes and turns his head to see Sanji staring at him. "Pull up you shirt." He commands.
                          
"What?" Zoro asks looking at Sanji like he's gone crazy.
                          
"Pull up your shirt." He commands again. Zoro just sits there. "Fine then I'll do it."
