Autumn.

Everyday, Law worried. He was strong, and a brilliant doctor, he knew he could protect his family, yet he still feared for them.

He was always apprehensive that they would be found, or that one of his children would fall ill. More than anything, he worried that he may have passed on the deadly Amber Lead poisoning that possibly lay dormant within him. He'd spent many hours checking each of them over for any sign of the condition, but they both appeared healthy. That didn't rid him of his concerns though.

He'd already had his family torn from this world. He was helpless as they were ripped from his arms, right before his eyes. Law didn't want to endure that sort of loss again. He knew it would break him.

He was happy now, and so in love. Law didn't feel that the pain of losing his parents and sister would even come close to losing his wife and two children. How could it? He had delivered Law Jr, and would have delivered Cora too, but Nami would not let him. They had raised and protected them together. Nothing was more precious to him than the three of them.

Flevance may have been notoriously beautiful for its achromatic fauna and terrain, but nothing could compare to the sight before him.

He looked on as Nami playfully chased Law Jr. and Cora through piles of fallen leaves. Her rosy cheeks and happy smile warned his heart, and he couldn't help but smirk at the sound of the excited laughter that came from their children.

When Nami caught sight of Law watching, she came to take sanctuary in his arms. Law Jr. and Cora had just ganged up on her, tackling her to the ground, and dousing her with leaves. "You chase them for a while." She pleaded as she pulled a handful of leaves from out of her hood, then wrapped her arms around him.

Law chuckled, but said nothing. He just held her close as he proceeded to pick the foliage from her cream knitted hat.

"What?" Nami asked with a smile, continuing to look up at him until he responded.

Law stayed silent for a moment to truly appreciate the sight of the woman in his arms. The secluded Autumn Isle seemed to accentuate her beauty. Her brown eyes were complimented by the colour of the earth, and bark on every tree. The beautiful hue of her hair was intensified by the myriad of autumn tones.

"I love you." He confessed, before kissing her affectionately. It was a shorter embrace than he would have liked, but Law Jr. would complain in repulsion if he caught them.

Thankfully, he hadn't. Him and Cora were still running in circles, then jumping into the mountain of leaves they had amassed.

Law loved to watch them play. The age gap between them was similar to that between Lamie and himself. The way Cora would cling to her brother always made him reminiscent of his past, and of how Lamie would drag him out to play when he was studying.

In fact, everything about them forced him to remember, especially their physical aspects. Where father and son were both dark haired and olive skinned, Nami and Cora had the same vibrant hair, just as Lamie and his mother were fair.

All the similarities just made it easier to dread a repeat of history, and he was sick of worrying.

"Let's have another baby." Law whispered in Nami's ear.

The fear and similarities would end there.


I hope you guys enjoyed that :) I probably could have made it better, but like I said, it was a quick drabble.
