Cameron's POV
--------------------------------
Kirsten is working a late shift, which means that I have to take care of Rosemary. Now don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my daughter, it's just work has been kind of stressing and trust me, you have no idea. Me and Kirsten still work with the Stitchers program. I've been working there for 7 years and Kirsten has been working there for 5. But the hard thing is that we have to have a second job, and it's not because of financial reasons, more like government. These other jobs are like our covers as superheroes. Another reason is because we have a daughter now. If she goes " Hey mommy and daddy. What's your job?" we can't go " Oh Rosemary, me and mommy work at a top secret government programs called the Stitchers program were we look at how dead people die by poking around there memories by putting your mother in a fish tank." I mean how the hell are you going to explain that to a 5-year old? So Kirsten is a science teacher at Copeland Elementary school and I work at a car dealership. How simple is that? Kirsten had to take over the 5th graders today because they needed more chaperones for their field trip. She usually teaches 2nd grade, but they asked her to come because everyone loved her personality. Kinda funny huh? Anyway, Rosemary is also sick. Poor thing. She keeps throwing up.

"Daddy, it hurts my stomach!", said Rosemary.

"I know, Sweet Pea. Once you're done throwing up you'll feel much better, I promise."

"Can you call me what you call mommy?"

"What do you mean, Rose?", I said.

"Well you call her Stretch. It sounds like some sort of superhero name!"

"How about this you can pick out of these three, okay? Little Stretch, Stretch Jr. or Baby Stretch."

"Ahhh, think I like Little Stretch."

"Alright, Little Stretch it is."

"Yay, now I'm cool and awesome like mommy!! Why do you call her that, Daddy?"

"Well it's because...mommy is kinda a superhero. It's a little complicated."

"So mommy is a superhero!!! Awesome!! Can I watch TV now?"

"Did you finish all your homework?"

"Yep. See I did the whole packet. Can I go now?"

"Alright go ahead. But change your clothes and wash up. Uncle Linus coming for dinner"

"Ooh, Uncle Linus!!! Yay!!! I can't wait show him a picture that I drew of him. It even has his girlfriend in the picture. She's really pretty. Oooh got to go, Chuggington is on!!"

Ahhh, I thought to myself. I'm so lucky to have Kirsten and Rosemary. I heard the doorbell across the hall.

"Linus!"

"Hey, Cam."

"Everything alright?", I asked. I was concerned because of the look on his face.

"Yeah, Camille isn't feeling too well. She threw up this morning and I told her to take a sick day."

"Ohh man, Rosemary was really looking forward to seeing her. Well I hope she feels better."

"Thanks! Rosemary?!", said Linus.

"Uncle Linus!!", she said as the ran down the stairs."

"Ah, you've gotten so big!"

"I drew this for you. I was sick today and I got bored, but I'm feeling much better." , she said as she passed the paper to Linus.
