Married Life

Chapter 41: Life couldn't be any Sweeter

     Cries of the child filled the air. It was the sweetest sound they could ever hear right at that moment. The couple couldn't help but cry over the sight of the beautiful life that laid in their arms. Poppy began to wrap the baby girl in the yellow blanket as Branch used his pointer finger to gently rub the child's cheek.

     "Look at her.." He spoke softly, the cries of the child softening as the pink troll allowed the child to rest on her chest.

     "Absolutely beautiful.." she said as Dr. Plum Plimsy came over to their side.

     "Congratulations! It's a healthy baby girl! I'm gonna take this cutie for a few minutes, make sure everything's dandy with her." She whispered as she took the calm child from her mother's arms.

     With a deep sigh, Poppy looked over at Branch as tears rolled down her cheeks, and the biggest, brightest smile on her face. A laugh came from the pink troll as she gave him the tightest hug she could possibly give.

     "W-We did it..!" She yelled whispered as the tears landed on the back of his vest.

     "That we did..!" Branch responded.

     Happily bopping back over to the pink and teal troll, Dr. Plum Plimsy gave the quiet baby back to her parents.

     "Well my new parents, everything seems a-okay with this cutie! Just head on over to the town hall whenever you get a chance and pick up a birth certificate for her! Remember to tell the troll that's there her name! You don't know how many parents forget to do that nowadays." With a smile, Dr. Plimsy packed up her stuff and left the new family as the sat in the tree. The pink troll looked at Branch with wide eyes.

     "A name.. We don't have a name for her.."Poppy spoke softly as the baby began to suck on her mother's finger.

     "Hmm.. Maybe we'll think of something on our way to the bunker. The snack pack and your dad is over there right now and I know they're itching to see the baby."

     "They're itching?? Maybe they shouldn't get too close to her.."

     "You know what I mean.." The teal troll said as he assisted his wife down the tree and onto the ground. She wobbled, this being the first time she's stood in hours, but shook it off as she continued to walk their way home.

     As much as she couldn't help it, her eyes were locked on the now sleeping child that laid in her arms. She was just so amazed at where they were in their life right now. Happily married, and now the parents of the most beautiful baby girl in the village.

     Life couldn't be any sweeter.
