Chapter 4

The party had ended and everyone had left. Poppy and Branch didn't feel like cleaning up so they decided to leave it for tomorrow so basically it's Sunday's problem. Poppy is in Harmony's bathroom and puts her sleepy daughter gently in her crib.

The crib had two pillows and a nice warm fuzzy blanket. Croco was in the bed as well waiting for Harmony. There is dark brown wood floor, simple black curtains covering the closed window, a fuzzy colourful carpet,a couple comfortable black cushioned chair,white dresser and toy box that can double as a bench.

One of the walls of the room are painted with two tree different tree branches going in oppsite directions above the white crib. One half has pink flowers while the other had doodle versions of skulls on green leaves. Around the tree branches are little Debbies. There are few picture frames and the baby album on the dresser. The baby monitor sits near the crib.

Harmony closes her eyes as Poppy covers her with the blanket. The baby holds Croco in her little arms fast asleep. The mother smiles at her baby for a brief moment before she quietly walks away and turns off the lights. She quietly and slowly closes the door leaving Harmony to sleep peaceful.

Soon she walks into her bedroom finding her husband getting ready for bed. He couldn't find his sleeping shirt so he is still shirtless unlike earlier. She smiles at him as he opens the blanket for both of them.

Their bedroom has white walls like all the other rooms. The curtains are black. The floors are dark brown wood. The bed is a double with a white sheet,dull green and navy thick cozy blanket,white pillows and dark brown headboard and nightstands. The closet is big and white built in the wall. There are few pictures on the wall, a private bathroom and a new dresser. The window even had a window seat.

" Today was interesting... ",Poppy comments.

Branch looks and sees his wife sit down on the bed. She had already closed the door. She checks if the baby monitor on her nightstand is on before putting it back down. Branch sits down on his side as he replies to her comment.

" You could say that. ", Branch agrees.

Today had gotten better after Candice and Ben had left their house the first time. The party was smooth and a hit with everyone. No complaints. Their other neighbors in the area were really nice and friendly. Poppy and Branch finally have a Daycare for Harmony. Now they can relax and not worry about it anymore. Poppy lays down on back looking up at the ceiling. She smiles as she glances up at her husband.

" I have a good feeling about this. ", Poppy comments honestly.

" About what? You always have a good feeling. ", Branch replies honestly.

" You know. About starting over here by moving. It's not like Harmony or us will be worse off living here. The village looks like a paradise. ", Poppy explains.

Branch lays down next to his wife. Poppy turns onto her side and snuggles his arm.
She wasn't wrong about the village looking like a paradise but, he wasn't going to automatically say it was one. Afterall they are still new and will have to adapt to their new surroundings. He is sure that they will be calling Pop Village home eventually.

" Can't believe it has already been seven years already. ", Poppy says sleepily.

Branch smiles lovingly as his eyes glances over to the sleepy troll yawns. She gently closes her eyes slowly falling asleep. Her head rest on Branch's pillow with her forehead his shoulder. The mixed troll smiles more softly as he turns onto his side to Poppy. He gives her small gently kiss on her forehead.

" Neither can I...", Branch says softly and lovingly.

The next day, Branch and Poppy are taking Harmony to Gia's daycare. Harmony is wearing a aqua baby dress and blue headband as Poppy carries her in her arms. Poppy is wearing her professional outfit for her job. It is dark purple skirt and her white dress shirt. Her hair is tied up into a neat ponytail. Branch is wearing his long leather pants with a forest green T - Shirt.

Somebody at his work had complained about his chest tattoo a couple times. He wasn't interested in hearing the speech again. The engineering company doesn't have a uniform but, rather a dress code that allows you to wear anything as long as nobody is bothered by how you dress. Poppy's job requires her and every other troll doing the same job to dress professionally.

Gia smiles as she sees her friends with their baby walk into her daycare so she happily walks to them. The daycare entrance is a tall and wide arch of leaves. The inside of the daycare center is almost everything Gia would need or the trollings would want. The space outside the main center was a playground and there were several young trollings playing. School didn't start yet so as expected there were kids five years old and up.

" Hi Poppy. Hi Branch. ", Gia greets happily.

" Sup Gia. ", Branch says happily.

" Hey Gia. Thanks again for agreeing to taking care of Harmony for us. ", Poppy says happily.

Gia smiles at them with kindness. She wouldn't had offered if she wasn't willing to help. She loved children and she wouldn't be here today if she didn't. Harmony looks at Gia with a innocent smile. She recognized Gia but, didn't really know who she was like she did with most of her parents' friends. Then the caretaker gently takes the little baby from her mother. Harmony just looks up at the glitter.

" It's no problem and Harmony will be fine with me so don't worry. I'll call or come find you if anything does go wrong. ", Gia says kindly and honestly.

It was hard for the two parents but, they did trusted Gia with Harmony. The glitter troll proved before when she first watched Harmony for an hour for them that she could do it. They knew that she is good with trollings so they did their best to just ignore the unsure feeling that parents generally had sometimes.

Harmony simply looked at her parents as Poppy bended little forward to be at the same eye level. Her hands touched her knees. Branch smiles softly as he touched his daughter's little hand. Harmony grabs his finger like she usually did.

" Be a good girl for us. Mommy and Daddy will come back later. Okay? ", Poppy says calmly and happily.

Harmony didn't really understand what Poppy meant but, she started to talk back with happy baby babble. Branch and Poppy ,along with Gia, all thought it was cute. Branch messes with her hair making Harmony giggle in reponse to it adoring her reaction. Soon the married couple left knowing that their baby girl will be fine.
