Team8s and Counting

95. What's it Like to Have a Dad?

In the classroom of Ms. Blades and Mr. Key, all the children sat with their lunches, munching away at the yummy food that they were provided.

Flare and Thread, like always, we're sitting next to each other, chatting away as they ate.

"What did your mom's pack you," Thread asked, trying to glance down at her friend's lunch.

Flare sighed, "They just got a lunch that was already made from the grocery store."

Thread rolled her eyes, "Lucky. I wish I could have those lunches."

"Are you kidding me!" Flare exclaimed, "It's boring eating the same thing everyday!"

Thread laughed, "Well, at least you get to have a cookie with yours. My mommy makes me have vegetables for lunch because it's good for me."

Flare laughed back, "Looks like we both have something to complain about, don't we then?"

Thread nodded, "Yeah, I guess so."

As Flare continued to eat, the thought of Thread's parents continued to fill her mind. Flare had never been to Threads house before, and forgot what her parents were like when Threaed came over to her house.

"So...who's that guy that you live with?" Flare questioned.

Thread tilted her head in confusion, "You mean my dad?"

Flare's face perked up, "I didn't know you had a dad! I thought you had two moms, like me!"

Thread nodded her head, "you're right! I do have two moms, and I also have a dad."

Flare's eyes widened, "You have THREE parents?"

Thread smiled, "Yeah. It's crazy. I also have my auntie Saw, who you know as Ms. Blades, two other aunties and an uncle who live with me, along with my brother and Bladey, which is my Auntie Saw and Auntie Gaty's kid."

Flare counted the number of individuals in Threads' household on her fingers, "That's ten people!"

Thread nodded, "it's kinda loud in my house sometimes, but I don't mind it."

Flare had the opposite story at her house, "It's just me and my moms at my house. I wish I could come over to your house sometime."

Thread agreed with her, "I'll have to ask my parents, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind at all!"

The two continued to chat about their family life, until Flare decided to teel Thread something that was on her mind, "Thread...I have a question."

Thread looked over at Flare, "What?"

Flare sighed, "What's it...like to have a dad?"

Thread smiled, "I love my daddy! He pushes me around in my wheelchair on walks, and, you want to know what we did recently."

Flare was curious, "What?"

Thread whispered in her friends ear, "He even played princess with me yesterday. He had a dress on and everything."

Flare was slightly confused, "But my moms said princesses are girly things."

Thread shook her head, "Well, my daddy likes princess dresses, even more than my mommy's do, so I guess that's not true."

Flare accepted Thread's response, "Okay, I guess I'll have to talk to my moms about that later."

The two of them continued to eat lunch, as Saw passes by the table of the two girls.

"What are you two talking about," Saw asked.

Thread laughed a little, "I was talking to Flare how daddy wore a princess dress yesterday."

Saw remembered what Thread was talking about, "Oh yeah! Daddy told me that you two had a lot of fun, and that maybe you wanted Bladey to join in next time!"

Thread nodded, "That would be fun! Maybe Flare can come over two, and we can have so much fun over at our house!"

Saw nodded, "I'll have to talk to your moms and dad Thread, but that oculd be fun."

Flare gasped in excitement, "Really? That sound like so much fun!"

Thread nodded, "It is a lot of fun, trust me, my daddy is the best princess ever!"

As Saw walked away, Flare looked at Thread with wide eyes. "I can't wait to tell my moms about this! I've never played princess with a dad before."

Thread beamed. "It's going to be so much fun! We'll have the best tea party ever."
.................................................

Yeah, I know this chapter is REALLY short, but honestly, I was close to just not uploading again today. However, I knew if I ever wanted to exit the post surgery blues, I would just need to upload something, and that's just what this chapter accomplished for me.

As far as surgery itself went, the actual procedure went okay, but I needed to spend another night in the hospital since there was an issue with the Herve blockers that made it impossible for me to walk. I'm home now and doing okay!

Hopefully I get back into the swing of things soon, but for now, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
