Chapter 2 - Make A Bucket List
She arrived home and went straight to her room. She flopped on her bed and just sobbed. She couldn't believe it. Branch came rushing in soon after. "Poppy, are you OK?" Branch asked sitting beside her on the bed. "No Branch! I Can't believe it! The only parent I've known all my life! He's.... He's only got 4 weeks to live!" Poppy yelled sobbing. Branch patted her on the back. He didn't know what to say. Then he thought "What would Poppy say to me if I were in this situation?" The one thing that came to his mind was positivity. "Calm down Poppy. Think of it this way, why don't you take this as an opportunity to do all the things you wanted to do with him before he died? Make a Father Daughter bucket list. That way, you know that when it's his time, he leaves a happy father." He said trying to cheer up his disheartened friend. "You really think so? You think he'd want that?" She said wiping tears off her face. "I know that's what he'd want. It's what I want, and I know it's what your mother would want too." Branch said smiling at her. "Thanks Branch. You're right. I should do that." She replied thankfully. "There's a lot you can do in a wheelchair." Branch said jokingly which made Poppy Chuckle a little. The 2 shared a hug. "Thank You Branch." She said in gratitude. Peppy stayed in the hospital for further testing. Leaving Poppy all alone at home. She tried to fall asleep but couldn't. Staring at the ceiling, She thought about what Branch told her. He was right. Peppy would never get to walk down the isle with his daughter at her wedding, he'd never see her get married, he'd never meet his first grandchild. Poppy had to do everything she ever wanted to with her dad if there was a chance of him dying a super happy man. Not that he wasn't happy but the thing is, him and Poppy never really had any good times together ever since she became queen. She wanted to make as many good memories as she could. She went to bed, Hoping that she could do just that.
