You woke up with a startle from the nightmare you had. That day would always haunt you. The day you found out you were pregnant with his child.

Of course he didn't know and you didn't want him to know. A little over a year and a half ago you were captured by Joker for information.
You refused to open your mouth to say anything and in a fit of rage, Donquixote Doflamingo forced himself onto you. A week later you managed to escape from Dressrosa and the Donquixote family never saw you since then.

That is until today. You woke up from the nightmare that you would frequently have. You sat on your bed until you heard giggling coming from your seven month old son's nursery room. He had been sleeping earlier, so you assumed he had woken up now. You got up to check on him.
When you opened the door, the first thing you saw was a tall, all too familiar, man in a pink feathery coat that hid his figure, hovering over the baby's crib, playing with him.

You were scared out of your mind, and tears started streaming down your cheeks. You weren't crying because you were remembering the day he raped you. No. You were crying because you were scared that Joker might hurt your baby.
You heard him chuckle as he turned around to face you.
"It's been so long hasn't it, (y/n)?"

"W-what are y-you doing here, Joker?"
He slowly walked up to you and you backed away from the door into the hallway. You backed up against the wall but Doflamingo came closer. He leaned down brushing his nose against yours. At that moment, you wanted nothing but to push him away, grab your baby and run the hell away from him.

"Fufufu... That baby..."
He whispered in your ear, then looked back into the room at the crib.
"He's mine, isn't he?"
Of course he would've figured that out. The baby had your hair color and eyes but his face was 90% Doflamingo. You looked down at the floor, giving him the answer he needed.

You then felt a sharp, painful sting on your cheek. He had slapped you so hard you fell on the floor. You put your hand on your cheek trying to ease the pain and looked up at him. He was beyond pissed with veins popping out of his forehead.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He said sternly walking towards you. You were afraid he was going to hurt you again and began crawling away. He put a foot on your stomach, stopping you from moving, pressing you down against the floor.

"Answer me!" He said it so loudly that the baby started to cry in his crib.
You wanted to go up to him and comfort him but you couldn't. Not with Doflamingo stopping you.

"I didn't think you would care."
He removed his foot from your stomach and you got up and quickly went to your baby, cradling him in your arms.

Doflamingo walked back into the room, and stood behind you. The aura emitting from him scared you. Especially the angry tone he used when he said,
"Pack yours and the baby's things. You're coming with me."
You didn't want to go back to Dressrosa. You were afraid of the family and being so close to Joker meant that he could hurt you at any time.

Not giving him a reply and silently cursing to yourself, you put the baby in the crib, grabbed a bag and began packing. When you were done he took the bag and slouched it over his shoulder as you wrapped the baby in a blanket to keep him warm from the cold of the night. You walked with him out of the house to the dock of your home island, where a ship was waiting for you.
