You have a daughter, Avery. She looks a lot like her father. However, there is one problem that Harvey doesn't seem to like. In the past, he always told you how happy he would be if your baby was a boy. No matter how much Avery says, "I love you, Daddy", he always ignores her or even yells at her to upset him. You've tried talking to him about it, but he always ignores you when you bring up Avery.

You're playing with Avery in your room when suddenly your phone rings. You put the toys away and grab your phone to check the notification. Your eyes widen and you scream. Harvey runs up, * * "WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" * * You look at him happily and reply while jumping up, * * "I accepted. I hired AAAAA!" * * and ask him, * * "Can you please take care of Avery while I'm gone for a month?" * * His smile falls and you reply, * * "I have work." * * * "Isn't the building being repaired?" * * you reply. As this continues, you finally manage to get him to take care of Avery. But what you didn't know... something happens that wasn't supposed to happen...

You were now in a new city working for a month. You were having a great time, while Avery was with his dad.. It wasn't going well. * * "Dad, I'm hungry." * * Avery says clutching her stomach. Harvey looks at her with a cold, annoyed expression. * * So? Cook yourself, I'm busy." * * Avery looks at him, sad. * * "But.. I don't know... how to cook." * *

• • "Well, too bad," * * he answers, not even daring to look at her. This went on for weeks, Avery hadn't eaten in days, hadn't showered, had headaches, toothaches, and stomachaches, but she'd never told Harvey. Until this happened.

Harvey was on the couch using his laptop when he realized Avery hadn't come out of her room. He thought she was still asleep so he didn't care at first. As hours passed, he decided to check on her. He knocked on her door, but no one answered. He tried again and again... and again. He entered her room and she was sleeping... peacefully. He walked over and shook her shoulder. * * Avery, wake up. *
