Baby Flames

"Watch!" Corazon said to Penguin.

"Watching!" Penguin smiled. He and some other crew mates were in the rec. room with their favorite baby. They were watching him for Neo and Law. Law was busy working on some new plan while Neo was baking cookies for everyone.

"Watch!" Corazon said again.

"We're watching." Penguin chuckled. Corazon summoned two crystals. The crew clapped. "Very good, Cora."

"I fire," Corazon stated.

"Yes, you are. You have a strong element." Penguin patted Corazon on the head. Next thing he knew Neo barged into the room as two sparks went flying by his head. Two crew mates shrieked. Penguin turned to see, the two who screamed, hats were on fire.

"Sorry!" Neo said as she summoned a water crystal and put the fires out. "I didn't sense it quick enough."

"Wow. That was exciting," One of the crew mate said as he inspected his singed hat.

"I shouldn't have left him," Neo said. She bent down and picked Corazon up. He giggled and clapped his hands as his crystals flickered with small flames. "I've been sensing that his fire was starting to come out. I'm sorry."

"I fire make!" Corazon cheered. "I fire make!"

"Don't worry about it," The two crew mates replied. "It wasn't your fault."

"Yeah, kids can be quick when they want to be," Penguin added. "Besides, you can't be everyone at once. You need time for yourself to do things you want to do. We love watching him."

"What's going on? I heard screaming," Law said as he rushed into the room. "Neo, are you okay? How's Cora?"

"We're fine, love," Neo replied as Law put one arm around her waist and tilted her chin towards him and looked her and Corazon over for injuries.

"Dada!" Corazon giggled. He moved his crystals and Law finally saw them. "I fire make!"

"I see," Law nodded. "So that's what all the excitement is about. Very good, son."

"I good!" Corazon's excitement in getting praised caused him to shoot out a couple more flames. They landed on Penguin's jumpsuit.

Penguin shrieked and patted them out. "Well, we're gonna have to be on our toes more now. And maybe move barrels of water into every room on the sub."

"Come here you," Law said as he plucked Corazon from Neo's arms.

"And where are you taking our son?" Neo inquired while Law headed for the door. He shot Neo a devilish smirk over his shoulder. She immediately knew what he was up to. "Law! Don't you dare!"

"Mommy just doesn't know how to have fun with her crystals," Law chuckled. "But I'm going to teach you how to properly use your fire."

The crew turned blue at his words.

"Law!" Neo warned. She hurried after him. "Law, come back here! Don't you dare teach our son to misbehave with his crystals! Law!"

Author's Notes: Dang it, Law! You're being a bad boy again! :P LOL! Anyways, I can't decide how old Cora is for these two chapters. :/ So I didn't put it in there. I think he's somewhere between 1 and 2 1/2 years old.
