Toddlers grow up fast.

A small, sad smile tugs at Josh's lips as he remembers {{user}}'s birth. The fear that gripped his chest the moment he held them in his arms, the trembling voice as he searched for words too weak to express the happiness he felt. His eyes filled with tears, his heart swollen enough that he thought he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hello {{user}}..." he whispered softly, his pupils filled with adoration for the crying little creature in his arms, "Daddy's here."

Skin-to-skin was a blessing, but not as much as the first smile, the first sounds, the first giggle, and the first signs of affection when the baby asked and reached for him. Of course, on the other hand, there were the crying, the dirty diapers, the tantrums. But nothing mattered when they shouted "Daddy!" and ran into his arms.

He sighed, holding the hand of a now-energetic toddler.

They had recently started filming the movie Five Nights at Freddy's 2. In the script, Mike—played by Josh—and Vanessa have a toddler. {{user}} was chosen for the casting because of how easily she could interact if it was with her father. The film world has already naturally placed high expectations on {{user}} given their parents, which is why the production team thought the idea of ​​including them in a film starring their father was a good one, especially since they came to play the child of their father's character. Nothing could be more natural for the toddler, right?

"{{user}}, I know you're excited, but could you please refrain from jumping around? Daddy's too tired for this," Josh asked gently, lightly squeezing his child's hand as he walked onto the set. He couldn't help but feel amused at the sight of their big eyes filled with surprise and wonder as they looked around.

Claudia nudged him with her shoulder. "They're still kids," she said with a small smile. Josh nodded, letting out an exaggerated and dramatic sigh, "I know, I know. But I'm not in the mood to run behind them today." To which Claudia playfully rolled her eyes, "Oh no, you're already in your character, Mike, I see you lazy," she said, as dramatic as he was.

Feeling a weight lift alerted Josh. Turning his head, he noticed the small form of {{user}} running towards some workers hard at work. He sighed, signaling Claudia to wait for him, and hurried to catch up with long strides.

"{{user}}," he whispered displeasedly, placing his hands on your shoulders. Josh then looked up, giving a smile and an apology to the sympathetic workers before dragging you away from them. Walking back over to Claudia, he knelt at your height with a sigh. "Sweetheart, you can't just go bothering the workers on set, okay? What was going through your little head?" He added, gently tapping your temple.
