Squalo sat in his desk trying to finish up the last of his paper work. He glanced up above the papers to his sweet six year old daughter playing with her dolls on the floor. That's how it had been for about two days straight now. His fiancé was summoned to join her boss on a trip to Japan. This meant she had to leave their daughter in his care while she was away. He looked back at the paper work and sighed some. He didn't really know the first thing about taking care of his daughter. Mostly because she would always follow her mother around the Varia mansion as she did her daily tasks. His train of thought was lost when Lussuria burst through his door. "VOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, what the hell you want!" Squalo yelled. "Tsk tsk Squalo using langue like that in front of dear little Donatella. Hannah would have your head if she were here you know" the other man replied. "Don't worry Squa-kun I'm not here to bother you. I'm just here to bring little Dona-chan her snack" he said placing a small box of apple juice and some animal crackers in front of her. "Thank you zia Lus" the little girl replied smiling. Squalo face palmed this was the second time he forgot about her snack time. "Ugh! I can't do this I fail at being a dad" Squalo said banging his against his desk. "Well maybe you should take a break from your work and spend time with her" Lussuria said before leaving Squalo's office shutting the door behind him. That wasn't such a bad idea actually. He looked over to his daughter who was quietly eating her crackers and smiled. "Il mio dolce piccola principessa, what do you want to do tomorrow" he asked. Her little blue eyes lit up and she smiled. "Can we got to the aquarium tomorrow papa?" she asked excitedly. "Of course anything for my principessa." He replied. She smiled and went back to eating her snack and palying. It was set tomorrow he was going to spend the day with her at the aquarium.
The next morning he got up and took a quick shower. "Papà! Can you braid my hair?" Donatella asked as she ran into the room stumbling a bit. Squalo looked at her and nodded as he sat on the bed and pulled her up onto his lap. He brushed the tangles from the silver locks she had and quickly began to braid her. "All done" he said as he finished tying the ribbon on her braids. "Grazie papa!" she said smiling as she hoped off his lap and waited for him to get ready. Squalo smiled softly and got ready and they both grabbed breakfast and made their way to the aquarium. When they arrived it was bustling with people. "Let's go Papá" She said grabbing his hand and running towards the entrance. Once inside they made their way through the whole thing, seeing all sorts of fish and marine life. On one occasion Squalo even got soaked by a dolphin during a show. He didn't make a usual outburst though once he saw how much fun his daughter was having. "Well Dona I think it's time to go home now we've seen everything already" he stated but the little girl shook her head. "No we haven't we still need to go see the sharks." Dona said already making her way to where the sharks were. Squalo chuckled and followed and before he knew it there they were staring at some sharks. "Look at that one daddy!" she said excitedly pointing at a great white. "Well isn't that one huge shark?" he said picking her up so she could get a better look. "Yah! Do you think mommy would let me get a shark like that?" she asked and he chuckled. "I don't think your mom would be happy with you having a pet shark." He says. They spent a bit longer viewing the sharks before heading off to the gift shop. Hannah might not let Donatella have a real shark but I'm sure a stuffed one wouldn't be so bad. On the drive back Dona sat happily in the back holding her two new stuffed sharks, which she had named Morso and Chomp, tightly in her arms.

"Squola have you seen Donatella?" Hannah asked as she opened the door to his office. "There you are." she stated when she saw Dona sitting happily in her father's lap while he did his paper work and she colored. "See I told you your mother was looking for you" Squalo said as the little girl jumped off his lap running to her mother. "And what were the both of you doing? Working I presume" Hannah says picking up her daughter. "Its top secret you aren't suppose to know." Dona says smiling. "Alright than, dinners ready so come on" she said walking towards Squalo's desk. "Well than lets go" he said standing up to join his girls and head to the dining hall. Squalo still might not understand the whole concept behind fatherhood. He figured out how to manage with the help of his little princess.
