B's Note - One of the drabble prompt replies from my Robin blog, in that she's seeing and feels like he's there but he died years ago. To sum it up poorly. This isn't one of my better DoffyRobin writings.

After one of the captains became pirate king, Robin returned to Doflamingo granted she didn't fully tell her friends that he was her lover. It's not easy dating someone they fought, but she kept quiet and only saw him on her sneak away trips. Finally finished with her travels with Luffy, she wanted a quiet life aside from looking for the poneglyphs.
Outside she simply sat and watched her little son play happily in the sunshine. Gods he looked exactly like his father, but more innocent. Resting her chin in the palm of her hand, she hummed lightly until it felt like someone was sitting with her. Glancing to her left, she smiled and hummed at him. "You're late." Robin told him quietly.
The pair talked, until the soft patter of feet came back to her and stopped just in front of her. "Mama why are you crying?"The raven didn't realize she was crying until she looked back to her left and realized he wasn't there. Of course not, he died a few years ago protecting her. Gods if only she'd been stronger she might not have ended up a single mom with a son who asked about his dad.
"I just miss your father, sweetie. Let's go inside and wash up for dinner. Okay?" He smiled and held her hand as they walked back inside the house. That night Robin slept under his feathered coat, crying herself to sleep over how she missed him.
