After a long night of calming blossom down (and arguing with Trent) Natalie was tiredly going through her kids backpacks to double check they had everything they would need and to make sure they weren't bringing anything they weren't supposed to like Elena for example, who was trying to sneakily bring her Cabbage Patch Kid with a couple Polly Pockets.
Trent approaches his wife cautiously, he sure got an earful last night and was hoping he could make it up to her now that they both have calmed down.
"I-uh I called ze haer salon and booked blossom an appoint-ment fir next veek..." Trent spoke "it vas ze soonest time ze had."
"Thank you Trent.."
"At leasst you still have one daughter vith normal haer?" The man jokes, getting a small laugh out of his wife
"No Trent, I'm not still mad at you. I'm just tired." Natalie added, rubbing the sleep from her eyes
"Vhy don't you let me take zhem to sschool and you stay ent rest? It'z not far" Suggested Trent, snaking his arm around Natalie's waist to hug her from behind.
"That sounds amazing but I have to fill out some final paperwork at the school, talk to their teachers, and then run errands in town."
"I could do zhat." Trent says and Natalie raises an eyebrow at him "ok..maybe not." Replies Trent with a chuckle
"You can however go wake them up?"
"I don't zink blossom wantss to see me." He says and Natalie raises a hand to cup the side of his face
"Aww...too bad!" Natalie joked with a small laugh, patting the side of his face. He rolls his eyes and begrudgingly lets go to head up stairs.
Trent was right, blossom did not want to see him. She didn't say a word to him during breakfast or even on the walk to school. Just silently held Natalie's hand as the 5 of them walked the side walk.
Trent definitely wouldn't be cutting any of the girl's hair any more.
"My feet hurttt..." Elena whines, stomping her feet on the pavement
"Elena not this again, the school isn't even 5 minutes from our house! Look their's our house" Natalie says turning around to point at the family's home which indeed wasn't far, then back around towards the medium sized red brick building that was their elementary school. "and there's the school!"
"Nooooo..." Elena whines again, fully stopping this time.
Trent gives a sigh and looks at his wife. She gives him a small nod and in response he picks up Elena like a sack of potatoes.
She laughs loudly as he purposely walks funny and tickles her to make the walk to school more enjoyable.
"Me! Me! Do me! My feet hurt too!" Ethan pleads like the little attention seeker he is and Trent throws him over his other shoulder.
