Doflamingo had never ever thought he'd be a father. Sure he had helped take care of Baby 5, Buffalo, Dellinger, and the boy from White Town, Law. But he had felt more of a big brother relationship rather than a father-child one. So when he went to visit one of his previous one night stands for another round and found out he had a son surprised him. Meeting his son for the first time felt like it was just yesterday. Well, actually it was just yesterday.
The Donquixote Pirates had no intention of setting sail for a couple more days. Doflamingo decided that he would visit an former one night stand in hopes for another pleasurable night. It had been over a year but Doflamingo still remember her for some odd reason. That was how he came to stand in front of a house and knocked on the door.
"Coming!" A female voice called. Doflamingo could've sworn that he heard crying. The door opened and there she stood, Dei Nikko. She stood about a head shorter than Doflamingo and had long light brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. She held a child in her arms. "Doflamingo?"
"Hello Nikko," Doflamingo greeted, still grinning. "You remember who I am?"
"Who could forget a man who is ten feet tall, constantly smiles, doesn't takes off his sunglasses during sex, and wears a pink feathery coat?" Nikko pointed out.
"Fufufu," Doflamingo smirked. "So I was thinking we could get together again for another night of euphoria,"
"I can't," She refused, motioning to her baby. "I need to watch him,"
"And who is he?" Doflamingo asked.
"Your son,"
Doflamingo stopped smiling at those two words. "Hey now, stop joking around Nikko,"
"He really is your son," Nikko was serious. "A few days after you left, I experienced morning sickness and cravings. I went to the doctor's and she told me I was pregnant. Few months later, here he is,"
"Yet you never told me,"
"Because you would make him join your crew," Nikko took a few steps back, ready to close the door. "Now leave, Doflamingo. Never come here again,"
"Oh I'll never come here again," Doflamingo effortlessly pushed the door all the way open and entered the house. "But I won't leave without him,"
"No!" Nikko snapped. "A child doesn't belong at sea, especially with the likes of you! You're a pirate, Doflamingo!"
Doflamingo let out a laugh. "You really think you stand a chance against me?"
"I'll die for him," She snarled. Doflamingo flexed his fingers and Nikko moved towards him, handing the boy to him. "What!? Why am I—" But she never got to finish her sentence. Doflamingo had slashed her across the chest.
"Oo," Doflamingo's son said, looking at Doflamingo, unaware of the death of his mother.
When he woke up to discover Law was gone, Doflamingo panicked. His paternal instincts had kicked in. Now here he was, Donquixote Doflamingo, former Celestial Dragon, and Captain of the Donquixote Pirates, searching around frantically. "Law!" He called frantically. "Law!" Doflamingo searched inside of a barrel of pickles. "Law?" He searched inside the bathrooms, including the inside of the toilets. "Law?" He searched under the bed. "Law?" He searched in the crow's nest. With each passing second, he become more worried. He fell to his knees. "LAW!"
"Doffy, we'll find him," Diamante patted the man's back. "Doffy, calm down,"
"We looked everywhere!" Doflamingo snapped. "Where else could he possibly be!?"
"We didn't check Cora-san's room," Dellinger reminded.
That's when it all snapped into place. 'Does…Does he like Corazon better than me?' Doflamingo wanted to cry at that thought but wouldn't let the tears fall. "Let's hurry up and check!"

After destroyed Corazon's door and retrieving his son, Doflamingo felt much better. "I was so worried!" He hugged him close and kissed the boy's forehead at breakfast.
"E-oo!" Law made a disgusted face, causing the executives to laugh.
"Doffy, I don't think Law likes kisses," Diamante said.
"Who is Daddy's favorite?" Doflamingo asked Law in a cooing tone.
"Oo!" Law pointed at Doflamingo.
"Who is my favorite?" Doflamingo asked again. "It's not me,"
"Oo!" Law repeated the action.
"No, you're my favorite," Doflamingo corrected, pointing at Law. "Hey Law, say Daddy,"
"Isn't he too young to be able to talk?" Senor Pink asked.
But Doflamingo ignored him. "Say Daddy,"
Law started to move his mouth. Everyone kept silent to hear his first word. "COWA!"
Everyone was surprised. Doflamingo thought he misheard. "I'm pretty sure he meant Daddy. Right, Law?"
"Cowa!" Law repeated.
"Say Papa," Doflamingo tried a different term for father.
"Cowa," Law said.
"Pa," Doflamingo began.
"Co," Law started.
"Pa," Doflamingo ended.
"Wa," Law added.
"Papa,"
"Cowa,"
"Say Daddy or Papa!" Doflamingo begged.
Apparently, the tone he used scared Law. He began to tear up. "Wah!"
"Damn it Doffy!"
"Cowa! Cowa!" Law sobbed.
"Someone get Corazon from his room!"

Corazon had been told to stay in his room, a reminder that he was still a prisoner. 'Doffy probably wants to spend time with his son. I'd just be a distraction since the kid likes me better. Why though?' Corazon took a drag from his cigarette. 'Why does that boy have to remind me of Law!? WHY!?'
Corazon extinguished his cigarette with the heel of his shoes. "Damn it…"
That boy was just a reminder of Trafalgar Law!
That boy was just a reminder of his failure!
That boy was just a reminder of a broken promise!
"Cora-san!" Buffalo, Baby 5, and Dellinger stood at the doorway. "Law is crying again!"
'Great,' Corazon stood up, tripping over his cape. 'That brat is always crying for me! I just want to stay away from him!' He wanted to forget about him. That way, the pain would go away.
Doflamingo had locked him up in his room, but Corazon could care less. Law was dead. He had failed. He was gone for good. He had lied to him, saying that it'd be alright and that he'd find a cure. 'I'm not some kind of god!' He mentally berated himself. 'Why did I promise that he'd be alright!? I couldn't do anything about his sickness! All I did…during that journey…was make him continuously relive his past…'
Corazon walked over to his bathroom, looking at the mirror. He was a mess. His hair was knotted and his makeup was smeared. The bluish marking under his eye had become runny due to his tears. He had bruises courtesy of Vergo. That man in the mirror showed how weak and foolish he was to think he could take down Doflamingo.
'Maybe I should just end it,' Corazon thought.
Yes. Kill yourself.
Corazon punched his reflection, breaking the mirror. Shards of glass fell to the sink while some dug into his fist. But Corazon didn't feel pain. His whole body was numb.
You should've been the one to die.
Corazon grabbed a large shard from the mirror. Slight tinges of red were at the tip. 'This should do. It's sharp enough,'
He was constantly told that a cure would be found!
Corazon raised the piece of glass.
Doflamingo had heard a loud sound from the room next to his and went to investigate. "Oi, Corazon," He saw the bathroom lights on and headed to there. He hadn't expected Corazon to be holding a bloody glass shard, a cut along his wrist. "Corazon!"
Corazon looked to him emotionlessly. "What?"
Doflamingo grabbed some toilet paper and pressed it against Corazon's wrist, attempting to stop the bleeding. "What the hell is wrong with you, Rocinante!?"
Corazon tilted his head. "You were going to execute me anyway. Traitors are killed. So why wait?"
"You're not going to be executed you idiot!" Doflamingo snapped. "You're still by brother!"
'Brother. Did he actually still see me as his younger brother?' Corazon mentally laughed. 'He's just trying to gain my loyalty!'

"Cowa!" Law cried. "Cowa!"
Corazon walked over to Law and picked him up. "What did you do, Doffy?" He asked his older brother who was sulking.
"I tried to get him to call me Daddy or Papa," Doflamingo confessed. "But he was calling your codename instead,"
"Don't make him cry again," Corazon said coldly. "I don't want to be near this brat," Once Law stopped crying, he handed him to Doflamingo.
DUN! DUN! DUN!
Corazon wants to avoid Law now!
FYI some rules of the One Piece Universe will be bent 'cuz…well…it's a fanfiction.
So…can I please have some input on the drawing of a five-ish year old Donquixote Law?
By the way, this story is going to be Family/Drama due to it going to be mostly emotional.
