Daddy's Little Girl
Request: JessicaMoussa
Cora is a girl. Daddy's little girl.
...
"Please, Daddy. Please?" Cora leaned into Law's side, her eyelashes fluttering like a hummingbird's wings.
Neo pressed her lips together in a desperate attempt not to laugh. Law's arms were tight over his chest. His body was stiffer than a board. His eyes were closed so he wouldn't have to see their daughter's.
"It's only for today," Cora said.
Law exhaled through his nose.
Neo could feel his resolve melting away with each passing second.
"And it's my birthday."
Law's body relaxed. He opened his eyes. "Fine. He can come."
"Yes!" Cora jumped around the room, her black ponytail bouncing. "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you!"
"But you two are to remain in sight," Law said. "No sneaking off at any point in time."
"Aw." Cora's bottom lip pooched out. "Daddy."
Law flinched. He cleared his throat and straightened. "I mean it, Cora. If you don't follow this rule then he can't come."
"Mama!" Cora turned to her mother.
"Your father is right, Cora," Neo said.
Cora huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Fine. I'll go tell him now."
"Be back within the hour," Law said as their daughter left the kitchen. "And take Bepo with you. Those pirates from last week have still been spotted in the area."
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Cora waved and disappeared from their sight.
"That girl." Law ran his fingers through his hair. "She's going to be the death of me."
Neo giggled.
"And you." Law glared at her. "You could have backed me up more."
"Maybe. But Cora's growing up." Neo stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Remember how you were with me?"
Law nodded.
"She's a teenager now. She's looking for more independence. And it's not often she meets kids her own age. This is a treat for her."
"I know." Law slid his hands around Neo's hips. "I'll try to become more accustom to her growing up."
"That's a good boy." Neo slipped her hand around his neck, pulling him down into a deep kiss.
Law's hand snaked their way over Neo's stomach and back. Pulling and tugging he started to undress her. As his fingers landed on her bra hook the oven timer buzzed. He sighed. "Leave it."
"Can't if this party is going to start on time." Neo pulled away from him and pulled her shirt back on. She smirked over her shoulder as Law's sexual thoughts passed to her. Her heart raced. She couldn't wait for this party to be over with.
Using her wind crystals she pulled the cakes out of the ovens. Setting them down she felt Law's mind drift. "Don't you dare go spy on her."
"I wasn't going to."
"Uh huh." Neo shifted her crystals to cool off the cake while she mixed up the icing for it. "You already have Bepo spying on her."
"Not much help considering she can bend Bepo to her will." Law leaned back against the counter. "Maybe I should have sent Tero instead. He'd tell me every single detail."
"You know Bepo will tell you if it's something we need to know. No need to send Tero."
Law hummed. "Maybe. But she can still kiss a boy with Bepo around. She won't be able to that if Tero was with her."
"Love, she's going to be kissing boys sooner or later. Get use to the idea."
"She doesn't have to," Law grumbled.
"How about making yourself useful and help the others set up the tables?"
"Fine." Law moved towards the door.
"And I'll be keeping an eye on you. No sneaking off to spy on her," Neo ordered.
"Yeah, yeah." Law waved and disappeared from her sight.
Neo giggled. "Like father, like daughter."
...
Law's eyes locked on their daughter the second she returned with her friend.
Neo elbowed him. "Be nice."
Law huffed and stepped over to their kid. He stared down at the boy standing beside Cora. The kid's hair was dark brown, a bit shaggy. His eyes were bright and friendly, but that didn't fool him one bit. This kid was still a teenage boy. He knew all about teenage boys.
"Daddy, this is Brycen," Cora said. "Brycen this is my dad and mom and my whole family."
The crew's eyes landed on the boy.
Law watched Brycen's every move.
"Nice to meet all of you." Brycen lifted his hand to Law. "First time meeting pirates up close."
Law took the boy's hand and squeezed. His eyes sharpened.
"Oh dear." Neo sighed at the familiar sadistic look her husband drew on.
Brycen shrunk.
"Daddy," Cora said in a warning tone.
"Law." Neo wrapped her arms around her husband's.
Law released the boy and crossed his arms.
"Let's go ahead and start the party," Neo said.
Cora nodded and pulled Brycen towards the tables.
Law started follow, but Neo held him back. Still he continued to keep a close eye on Cora and Brycen throughout the whole party. Luckily, Cora listened to his orders and stayed at the party until it was over. Of course it helped the the crew had closed ranks around their precious niece. Every single crew grilled the new boy on who he was and his entire life. Law didn't heard anything out of the normal or anything that would raise flags.
...
"Well, it was fun, but I should head back home," Brycen said.
"Thanks for coming. Sorry about my family." Cora cast a glance at the crew who were still watching her closely, especially Law.
"It's okay. It shows they really love you." Brycen smiled, shoving his hands in his pockets. "So..."
"So..." Cora rocked back on her heels.
Brycen twitched before leaning in towards her.
Law warped beside them, threw Cora over his shoulder, and glared down at the boy.
Brycen shriveled and ran off.
The crew laughed. "Did you see that kid's face?"
"I thought he was going to wet himself."
"Daddy! Let me down! Why did you do that?!" Cora wiggled in her dad's hold. "Mama!"
"Sorry, Cora." Neo pressed a hand to her cheek. "I did my best this time."
Cora growled. "Daddy, you are far too protective of me!"
"Get use to it," Law said and headed for the sub with Cora still over his shoulder.
...
Man, I really am burned out. Sorry this didn't come out better. Might be able to fix it at some point.
