| "N-No, no, baby, please...don't say that, don't say that." Griffith shook his head, trying to choke back his own bitter crying. He felt like he should have stepped up to the plate more, he should have taken better care of Harper. "J-Just...listen...listen, baby, alright? We'll...there's still time, we'll make this better, okay? W-W-We have to, alright? We gotta for the baby." |

| "No, H-Harper, stop, please? You didn't...you didn't do anything w-wrong." Griffith continued to plead, squeezing Harper's hand before raising one hand to stroke at her cheek. "Baby...baby...it's gonna be okay...I'm gonna make it okay." |

| "We just...w-we'll do better now, okay? We've done it twice before a-and we can do it again, baby, we can." Griffith assured. "We can do this...we can. I'll...I'll take some m-more time off from the shop a-and I'll stay with you, around the clock. I'll make sure y-you're eating better, I'll make sure you're not over-exerting yourself, I'll...I'll take care of you, Harp." |

| "I-I'm gonna take you home, okay? A-and we'll take a nice warm bath, together if you want, and then we'll get you set up in bed and I'll cook you a nice lunch, w-whatever you want, alright? We'll get you rested up and situated. I'll even...we can go to the store and I can get you some honeydew. You've been craving honeydew, right?" Griff tried to offer. |

| "Alright, let's go." Griff nodded, standing up. He offered his hand out to Harper to help her up from the exam table, trying hard to still the trembling from his own nerves. |
