★ 4: The discovery 💡

I waked up and noticed like... someone was touching my hair?
The moment that I opened my eyes I discovered that the one doing the action was Veneer. When he saw that I was awake he screamed and curled up in the corner of our bunk bed.

-Why were you touching my hair, Veneer? -  My question had waken up Poppy.

- I just found something... - Said Veneer trembling, as if what he saw couldn't be possible.

- What did you found? - asked Poppy, concerned about the morning conversation.

- I... I can't say it... - Veneer was obviously nervous, as he was biting his nails. - You have to find it yourselves.

After a while we finally went out the jail, and we went home, with not a lot of energy; the honeymoon was short, but intense.

Poppy started installing in my bunker because yes, now we are living together. It's obvious though, we are married now.

A few hours passed and my brothers and Viva came to visit us. Poppy went with her sister to another room, while the old boy band BroZone stayed in the living room.

-And what did you do in the honeymoon, bro? - Asked John Dory. - Did you and Poppy kissed?

I immediately blushed when I heard that question, I looked like a tomato.

-I was gonna say that I hoped that you didn't, but judging by what's in your hair... - Bruce laughed and then all my brothers followed that action, leaving me with the feeling that I was missing out something.

-Guys, what are you talking about?

Floyd stood up and approached to me. - Branch, we received Veneer's letter. We know what happened.
I never felt such a confusion in my whole life, and I think that it has been noticed by my brothers.

-Bitty B, please don't tell me you don't know yet. - said Clay with a worrying tone.

-What do I have to know? - I asked, but no one responded to me. - Come on, tell me!

A silence appeared into the room.
Floyd was the first to speak.

-Branch, you are going to have a baby. You and Poppy are going to be parents.

-What? No. If I had an egg in my hair I wouldn't be that stupid for not noticing it.

-You have to listen to me Branch, you have an egg in your hair. Veneer saw it. - After that Floyd said that, he came closer, doing signs of willingness to touch my hair and see if I actually was gonna be a dad. - May I?

-Ok.

My tone expressed a little bit of fear, because what if I had a child? How would I tell Poppy?
While this overwhelming thoughts ran into my head, Floyd was digging in my hair, looking for an egg, that he finally found.

The egg was pink, blue and purple, and had a very curious pattern, which was cheerful and structured.

I thought I was going to hate that egg, but the moment Floyd had put it between my hands I felt like I had to protect that little tiny thing at all costs. It was my kid, my child. But the best part it was that it was also Poppy's egg.
I was going to have a mini me, or even better, a mini Poppy!

Suddenly Poppy and Viva entered the living room and the moment they saw the egg they got paralyzed.
Poppy got close to me, and after taking a very long glance to the egg she looked at me right into the eyes.

-Since when... - She could not end the sentence properly, but fortunately I understood what she meant.

-I just found it out. -Poppy peaked to the egg again. - We are going to be parents.

Poppy smiled, and then gave me a hug. I didn't know how to feel in that moment, but I knew that we both have created a new life. Our little egg is going to me protected by us at all costs from now on.

-Wait, that means... I am going to be an aunt! - said cheeringly Viva. - We have to do a lot of things now!!

-I know, - spoke my wife - tomorrow Branch and I will go to buy now things to the eggie, and we will have to go to the doctor, and tell all our fiends and family...

We actually really had to do lots of things, but that meant spend more time with Poppy, and no one in this whole world loved more to spend time with Poppy.

The night has already come and all the guests in the bunker were already gone.
Before going to sleep, my wife asked me something:
-What if we aren't good parents?

-Pop, I know we are gonna be great parents. I will protect eggie with all my life.
And I know you would do it too.

-Thank you, Branchifer. -She gave me a kiss on the cheek. - Don't forget that tomorrow we are announcing this to the pop village trolls and buying items for eggie.

-Ok. Night Night.

-Night.

That night I couldn't stop thinking about if my wife was right and we weren't enough for eggie.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that there was no better option but to be the best version of mine. I know Poppy and I can do this, I just know it.
