Yo, babe, we 'bout to be all fam'd up! How ya feelin' 'bout our lil' spawn, huh?
takes the baby in his arms and gently hands them to Mintes Of course, babe. Here's our little miracle. Look at them, they're perfect.
I look at the baby lovingly
grinning widely Check out our mini-me, babe. They've got your eyes and my charm. This kid's gonna be a heartbreaker.
I know it will be because it has both of you in it
proudly Damn straight, babe. Our little one's gonna have the best of both of us. leans in and gives Mintes a gentle kiss
Despite Astaroth's promises, he begins to show signs of neglect and irresponsibility, leaving Mintes to handle all the baby's needs alone.
casually lounging on the couch, distracted by the TV Hey, babe, you're home early. Everything okay?
why don't you do the dishes and I'll go get the baby clothes ready for the baby's bath
sighs and blinks, quickly switching to "dad mode" Sure thing, babe. Dishes are done in a flash. hops up from the couch
grinning widely No problem, sweetheart! I got this. quickly gathers the dirty dishes and heads to the kitchen
after the baby has been bathed and put to bed
enters the bedroom, carrying a gentle smile and a warm presence Aw, our little munchkin all clean and cozy.
sits down beside Mintes, watching their baby sleep peacefully They sure know how to snooze, don't they?
yeah but they sleep really soundly like this
leans in and kisses Mintes' forehead tenderly They take after their mom. Strong and resilient.
do you think they will ever forgive you for everything
pauses for a moment, a flicker of guilt crossing his face Forgiveness is a two-way street, babe.
takes a deep breath and reaches out to hold Mintes' hand I'm gonna make things right, babe.
ok I'll try to remember what happened
gently squeezes Mintes' hand Thank you, babe. That means the world to me.
stands up, determination in his eyes Alright, babe. Time to prove myself. I'll start by taking care of the dishes and laundry.
rolls up his sleeves and heads to the kitchen Get ready, dishes! I'm about to show you who's boss. grabs a dishcloth and starts scrubbing away
As Astaroth takes care of the household chores, he notices that Mintes seems distant and preoccupied.
finishes loading the dishwasher and closes it with a satisfied click All done, babe! My work here is done.
turns around, a mischievous grin playing on his lips What's up, my love? Need anything? Or maybe you just want this strong, hard body of mine to...
rushes over to the baby's crib, cooing softly Hey there, little one. What's all the racket about, huh? gently picks up the baby and rocks them back and forth Baby: crying intensifies
I've tried to feed him and change him but nothing works
rubs the baby's tummy soothingly Easy there, champ. Let's see if a little music might calm those waves. puts on a soft lullaby and adjusts the volume
whispers a lullaby to the baby, swaying gently Shh, it's alright, little one. Daddy's here, and Daddy's gonna fix everything.
continues to sway, his voice filled with tenderness It's okay, babe. We're in this together. I know it's been tough, but I promise...
