Chapter 6

Harmony is crawls around her bedroom. Peppy had fallen asleep in the chair with a story book on his face. His snoring is loud but, Harmony doesn't seem bothered by it. She is more focused on finding Croco. The curtains are open letting lots of natural daylight in. The light wasn't affecting the grandfather at all.

" ... Five more minutes...", Peppy says in his sleep between his snoring.

Harmony should be the one napping but, her grandfather was more tired than her. The door was still closed so Harmony couldn't escape the room. She crawls to her toy box where she saw her Grandpa Peppy put down her toy. The little Crocodile falls off the box landing near the baby's tiny hands. Harmony laughs happily as she grabs and hugs her favourite toy.

Then suddenly Peppy snores the loudest he ever did! As a result he litteraly scared himself awake! The book that was on his face went flying across the room then hit the wall and landed in the crib. Harmony bursts into laughter as Peppy looked around confused trying to figure out who was so loud that they rudely woke him up. The Rock troll looks down to see his still laughing granddaughter. It was like she had seen the funniest thing ever!

Soon it was night. Branch and Poppy are back home with Harmony while Peppy is back in his house. Harmony was busy terrorizing her mother by refusing to let her and also refusing to sleep herself. She indeed inherited her mother's energy. Harmony was loose in Poppy's hair laughing as Poppy laid down on her back on top of her bed covers. Poppy had completely given up on trying to get her daughter out of her hair. She was literally only staring up at the ceiling as her daughter poked her head out.

" Mama play... ", Harmony says innocently.

Clearly those are her favorite words tonight but, not Poppy's. Most times Poppy wouldn't be saying "No" to those certain words but, tonight she just wants to sleep. That's literally all she wants right now! Sleep! Poppy does enjoy being a mother but, sleeping well isn't always easy to get anymore considering how Harmony will probably start crying during the night. Branch and Poppy would take turns tendering to her.

" No. Bed time. ", Poppy groans.

The pink troll quickly grabs hold the baby before she could hide away again in her messy hair. Harmony kicked her legs as she is lifted up and out of her mother's hair. Poppy quickly sits up and cradles her in her arms. Harmony is wearing an familiar black onesie again while Poppy is wearing one of Branch's old sleep shirts ,which she had claimed as her own,as a night gown.

" Play... ", Harmony disagrees.

A small yawn escapes the baby's mouth as Poppy sings a soft Rock lullaby. Looks like her not taking her nap earlier is finally taking it's toll on her. Harmony's eyes started to become heavy as her father sits down next her mother. Branch is wearing a pair of grey sleeping shorts. Harmony smiles sleepily up at Poppy as she rocks her gently and slowly. In seconds the adorable trolling fell asleep without fusing.

Branch smiles as he moves some hair out of his little girl's face. Harmony's hair was longer than usual lately but, that wasn't a big problem since Harmony's hair hadn't went wild on them as much as it did back in the city. Not all troll babies go through having wild and out of control hair but, still it was common for babies to lose control of it from time to time. That's why most babies have to wear baby bonnets during certain ages. It is very popular in Pop Village. She was still overdue for a haircut.

" Little Terror...", Poppy comments adoringly and softly.

" Probably gets it from you. ", Branch jokes lightheartedly.

Poppy fakes a laugh after rolling her eyes at her husband. In reponse to her reaction Branch cups her right cheek then pulls her into a sweet and gentle Goodnight kiss. Life in Pop Village has been getting better and better for the couple. Sure there are issues or problems that make an appearence every now and then but, Pop Village truly did feel like a paradise to them. Much safer too considering how they are not living near a Volcano.

Four years later...

Branch and Poppy are both asleep in their bed. The curtains kept their bedroom dark so the morning sun wouldn't  force them to wakeup but, the couple probably won't be sleeping in today. A certain someone could become very active in the early morning if she wanted to.

Then just as the alarm clock hit 05:59 the bedroom door slowly and quietly opened. Little footsteps could be heard going towards the bed. A certain five year old trolling climbed onto her parents' bed while not waking them up.

The little girl was like a tiny ninja. Then the alarm suddenly went off the second it hit six o clock and Harmony jumped on the bed excitedly into the space between her parents accidentally startling them both. The two adults sat halfway up while their eyes shot open to see Harmony in their bed again. The alarm was still making noise in the background. They weren't used to her new method of helping them wakeup yet.

" First Day Of School!", Harmony exclaims excited and innocently.

Harmony is wearing dark purple pajama shorts and lighter purple pajama shirt with a picture of an cute version of a critter from the Hard Rock Tribe. Her dark blue hair is short and messy while her glitter freckles and skin is as bright as her mother's. Her ears had subtly become a little rounder but, were still growing in a different direction like her father. The little trolling was so excited to go to school for the first time that she was still jumping on the bed.

" Soneone clearly wants Mommy to become the Tickle Monster again. ", Poppy comments calmly.

The second Harmony heard "Tickle Monster" she stopped jumping on the bed and hid behind Branch as fast as she posibly could. Poppy held back her urge to laugh as their trolling voiced her thoughts and seeked her father's protection. Harmony didn't hate the Tickle Monster but, that didn't mean she liked being tickle attacked by the Tickle Monster either. It was more like a losing battle Harmony knew she would never win and she did not want to take part in it for that exact reason.

" No Tickle Monster! ", Harmony declared unhappily.

Branch turns off the alarm as Harmony contuined to use him as a troll field. Branch and Poppy are both smiling and are amused by Harmony's antics. Branch fully sat up and gives his little girl reassuring hug. Harmony immediately hugs back happily as Poppy gently moved some of their daughter's messy hair behind her ear. Neither Branch or Poppy could believe that their little baby grew up so fast but, that didn't stop them from loving her even more.

AN: Next chapter Harmony will be going to school. Sorry for the lack of updating. This chapter took me much longer than I originally expected to complete. I hope you enjoyed it,Cupcakes. 🙂
