One morning Poppy had woke up and realized she was late for her daily duties, she got ready and skipped breakfast she did her queenly duties finished by lunch and she got some sandwiches and cookies went to see her boyfriend Branch.

''Hey branch!'' She shoved a cookie in her mouth.

''Hey Poppy so what are you eating?'' He asked.

''A cookie.'' She said.

''That's it?'' He asked.

''Nope lets see I had three sandwiches and four cookies all on my way here.'' She said smiling and rubbing her full tummy and then let out a cute hiccup.

Branch was smirking. ''I see and you shoved it all down sorry to say you got a bad case of the hiccups.''

''No I don't.'' *Hic*

''I think the hiccups say otherwise.'' He teased watching in amusement.

''Well its nothing it will be over soon.'' *Hic* ''Gosh dangit!'' She said.

''Here lets get you home.'' He said as he took her hand and they walked back to her but more like their shared Pod and she sat down hiccuping. *Hic.... Hic.... Hic...*

Branch went to the kitchen grabbing somethings.

''Ok here are a few things to help you Poppy. One a glass of water drink slowly.'' He said handing her a glass.

She drank it. *Hic*

He then looks at her. ''Hold your breath for a minute.'' He said.

She held it and she released and it brought the hiccup attack even more. *Hic...Hic...Hic...Hic.* ''Its not working Branch.'' She said.

''Ok then next thing.'' He went into the bathroom turned on the hot water closed the door and went to Poppy. ''Ok go and sit in the hot steam in the bathroom it may help.'' He said.

She went in and pulls him in with her and they sit on the floor for a few minutes. *Hic...Hic...Hic...Hic..* She sighs with annoyance and turns off the water as they leave.

*Hic... Hic.... Hic.. Hic.... Hic.* Its hopeless Branch nothing is working!'' She said annoyed and sad.

''Ok I have another idea.'' He said and laid her on his lap and pats her back over and over. ''How is that?'' He asked.

''Your right sorry.'' He said.

''Its ok thanks anyway. *Hic*

She looked around not seeing him. ''BRANCH!'' she shouted and looked around. *Hic.*

Branch was laughing with her and enjoyed watching his girlfriend smile and laugh. He stops and looks at her she looks at him. *Hic* ''There is one more thing Poppy.'' He said.

''Oh what?'' She asked.

He leaned in and kissed her lips. She gasps a bit and kisses back her arms gently resting on his chest. His lips were soft and his hands her on her cheeks caressing her it was heaven for both of them. After a bit they pulled apart to breath and looked at each other.

''I love you Poppy.'' He said.

''I love you too.'' She smiled and realized something. ''My hiccups are gone your kiss helped!'' She said excitedly.
