Nicole:Hi sweetie. It was good. Hi Chlo, mom.

Chloe:Hi mom.

Audrey:Hi. What did the doctor say?

Nicole:He said if I cut out all sugar I should be fine. I'm diabetic.

Cat:Where's daddy?

Nicole:In the kitchen, he's feeling kind of down.

Chloe:Why?

Cat:Because of me.

Nicole:Go talk to him. Go on.

Cat gets up & goes into the kitchen.

Drake is eating a Chocolate Chip Peanut butter cookie.

Cat:Hi daddy.

Drake:Hi. Who made the cookies?

Cat:I did, with grandma's help.

Drake:There good.

Cat:Thanks…. Daddy I'm sorry for not obeying you. Do you forgive me?
