Star Cats forward Tom Hawkins and his wife Emma recently celebrated the birth of their first child.

Arabella Jennifer Hawkins came into the world on January 3.

As their Instagram feeds attest, both parents are besotted by their little girl.

It all makes sense. Everything anyone has ever told me about having kids. I get it now. This love is everything and more and I can't remember or imagine life without her Happy one week little lady and thank you everyone for your beautiful messages.
