Doflamingo wasn't busy the next day so he volunteered to look after the twins while you went out shopping. You refused at first because you didn't believe he could handle them. It took a great deal of convincing from his part, only succeeding when Baby 5 came around and told you about how much you were stressing yourself over them. She was right. You needed a few hours away from them so you agreed and let him take care of the twins.

When you returned you went straight to the nursery. The first thing you saw was Ren inside the crib and playing with Kiyoshi. Hisoka was in Doflamingo's hands, who raised him up so Hisoka could look down at him. Everything seemed to be fine and you waited at the door, watching him with his three children.

If you were told so before you would not have believed that the ruthless Shichibukai actually cared for his children. But now that you saw it with your own eyes you didn't have trouble believing it.

Hisoka looked down at his father, curiously watching him. It appeared that this would continue for a while but it didn't when Hisoka started drooling all over Doflamingo's face. You remembered telling him about how Hisoka would constantly drool. It seemed he had forgotten.

"I didn't think it was this bad," Doflamingo muttered as he put Hisoka down next to Kiyoshi. You giggled and entered the room, handing him a small cloth you found laying on a table. He took it and wiped the drool off of his face.

He heaved a sigh that didn't go unnoticed by you, so you asked,

"Troubled?" He turned his head to look at you before chuckling. That's how you knew it was something that involved you.

"Those damned dogs threatened to send another member of the Shichibukai if I don't hand you in to them in the next few days." He almost growled when he said that. You had completely forgotten about the Government, but were impressed they waited that long for you to appear to them.

"Does that mean you're taking me there?" You asked, now noticing that Ren was paying close attention to your conversation with Doflamingo. He couldn't understand much so there was no need to worry about him finding out about something.

"Yes and no," was his simple reply. He paused for a second before continuing his explanation.

"I'll allow you to go see them, but I won't be the one to take you to them. They are currently rebuilding the headquarters and you'll have to wait at Kuraigana Island until they find a place to hold the meeting." It was understandable why Doflamingo wouldn't be allowed to come with you.

But you were scared of going on your own, more than you were scared of going to the Island where the Shichibukai Dracule Mihawk lived. He must've been the one whom the Government threatened to send. Indeed it would be a huge problem if he did come. Doflamingo had no choice but to agree with their request.

He was pissed off, you could tell. And you were, too. For different reasons. One of them being that you didn't know when you would return. It was a four day trip from Dressrosa to Kuraigana Island, which makes it eight for travelling to and back from that place. Plus you didn't know how long it would take for Sakazuki, the new Fleet Admiral, to find a proper meeting place.

The twins were but a few weeks old and you would be leaving them for a while. It broke your heart that you would be away from all three of your children, especially when Ren was starting to take a liking to them. He hadn't accepted them at first but now he was slowly warming up to them as family.

"Tch, why can't they come here instead? I'm going to be moving around places, not knowing when I'll see my children again," you complained as you stood up and headed for the door. Doflamingo reached out for your hand, stopping you in place and pulling you in to hug you.
