Grim had found himself in what seemed to be a child's room, it was massive but also old, who knows what time it had came from. As he walked out of the room he looked around the hallway and realized that it must be some mansion or castle, Grim could hear a child crying from a distant room, he sounded like he was in pain and hurt, he decided he'd walk towards the crying. While Grim had walked closer to the crying he had started to hear a woman yelling, she was saying stuff such as "Oh calm down all ready you little brat! Do you know how many times I've been stabbed and clawed?", Grim had a feeling that this wasn't just a kid who accidentally hurt himself. As he made his way to the room he saw a tall lady yelling at a little boy who was holding his face as he cried in pain, She yelled more and said "You're weak if you think that hurts!" before then slashing at the child with her nails. Seeing this filled Grim with rage, he had walked in the room and grabbed a near by knife as he sneaked up behind the lady, as he got ready to slash at her, the whole room went black, and he began to wake up.

Tiana held Grim tight as she slept, this had led to Grim waking up and immediately smiling at how adorable she was, Tiana was always insecure about her looks and even hated her body, but as Grim always told her "She's prettier than any Human, Angel, Demon, God, or Goddess, he had ever seen", while she said that its just him trying to make her feel better, she knew that he meant every word he said. Grim wondered if he could somehow get up with out waking her, but since they fell asleep on the couch, that meant she was on top of him, so he decided to just get up, which lead to her getting plopped on the couch as he got up, but she was still asleep and when Grim looked at her and saw that he said what you'd say "Huh, how the fuck are you still asleep?".
Nothing was better than sleeping on the couch after getting into a car wreck, Grim knew that he had gotten more than enough rest, within the fact that he had fell asleep for one day after the wreck, an hour after waking up from it, and then a few hours after waking up from that nap, Grim knew that he had more than enough rest and needed some coffee, as he walked to the kitchen, he had crossed paths with Faith. Faith had smiled when she saw her dad and said "Glad to see you up old timer.", Grim looked at her and said "Come on I only look ten years older than Tiana and she's nineteen...", Faith giggled and said "Ya but your still just as old as the human race.", Grim didn't wanna think about his age so he decided to be like any father and neglect his child as he made some coffee, once he made his cup he decided to sit by Tiana and just smile since he's around her.

Eventually hours passed and soon Tiana had started to wake up, Faith was sitting in the chair across from Grim and Tiana, and Grim was just sitting next to Tiana as Faith watched the television. Tiana had smiled when she saw Grim next to her, she had loved him just as much as he loved her, and she especially loved the fact that he was smiling, she sat up and put her arm around him saying "Glad to see your happy face today." as she then kissed his cheek, Grim kissed her back and said "Same to you sweetheart.". Faith turned the TV up a little and said "You guys mine as well fuck in front of me too, you'll still be just as loud...", Grim looked at Faith and said "Excuse me but this is our house, and we'd like to love each other in our house.", Faith chuckled and said "Ok then boomer", Grim had looked at Tiana and said "Hunny get the guns please, I wanna have a high noon stand off with my daughter...", they eventually all laughed together, Grim thought about how strange it was that everyone was happy. Tiana had went to go make herself some breakfast so she can start her day off with a good meal, as Tiana was gone Faith had went up to Grims ear and asked him "So are ya ever gonna pop that question to her?", Grim looked at Faith confused and replied by saying "Do you think I'm fucking nuts?", Faith had giggled a little and said "Well I guess your right, maybe you should wait a little longer.".

Tiana had eventually come back with a three plates, she handed one to Grim and one to Faith, while keeping one for her self, they soon all began to eat, it was like a strange family dinner, even though Faith wasn't anywhere close to being related to Tiana. As they all ate they got bored of what they were watching on the TV, so they all decided they would find something to talk about, Faith had looked at Grim and Tiana and said "Hey come to think of it, I never learned how you two met?", Grim and Tiana slowly looked at each other, they both know it's not the happiest thing ever, but they couldn't just leave the question empty, Grim knew he'd be the one to answer it. Grim had looked at Faith and said "Well to keep this short, it's nothing really pleasant, I was in this cave and well I saw Tiana, but she wasn't in the greatest mood...", Faith looked at him and said "Ok then, go on!", Grim had stopped and thought a little before than continuing "Well you see, Tiana was there in the cave, holding a rope, that was tied in a certain knot, and I had felt something and confronted her, and a few years after that, we got together.". They all had stayed silent and Faith then asked "Why were you in the cave Dad?", Grim soon shot up and said "Well Tiana dinner was great, but I best be going to bed, it's sure Is getting late!", Tiana looked at him and said "Wait Grim it's only 9pm are you sure?", Grim quickly answered with a quick "Yep!" before then going into his bedroom to sleep, he fell on to the bed and gave a depressed sigh, something didn't feel right, he soon began to drift off and fell asleep.
