Flame nodded in agreement. "You're right. Family always comes first. But I promise to keep our research going until you're ready to dive back in." Irene smiled gratefully at Flame. "Thank you. I know I can always count on you. And who knows, maybe our little one will develop an interest in monsters too." Flame chuckled. "Wouldn't that be something! A family of monster researchers." With that, the two friends set aside their research for the day and enjoyed a stroll in the park, looking forward to the next chapter of their lives as parents.
