As Growler held their daughter Catlin Anne Gibbs in his arms, whilst his food monster slept. He remembered back to when he found out that he was going to be a dad again.

Flashback

"Morning my food monster"

"Hey yuck Vance wants you in early." Looking at the clock.

"Uh huh you okay?"

"Yeah I err got a doctor's appointment"

He yawned he was still tired, sleepy but managed to stop himself getting back in to bed with his food monster.

She yawned and led back down.

"you need me to come with?"

"No I'll be fine, just a check up."

He nodded reaching over to kiss her as he did every day.

"Take the time off if you need."

"I'll be fine."

"Hey be safe my growler" kissing him back deeply
