What to Do About School?
Sam and Angela were sitting in the bunker's library. Sam was reading one of the many books from the vast library while Angela was researching something on her laptop.
"Sam?" Angela broke the silence.
"Yeah, baby?"
"What are we gonna do about school for Grace?" Angela asked, bringing up a topic that they honestly hadn't thought about quite yet. "I mean, she's supposed to be going into kindergarten next year."
Sam pursed his lips tightly and closed his book. "Hm. Well, we don't even have an official address, so we can't exactly register the bunker as our place of residence."
"And we're absolutely not buying a house just to use it for its address," Angela added. "And we're not even home the majority of the time because we're always hunting… But I want her to be able to meet other kids, make friends."
Sam ran a hand through his long hair and thought for a few moments. "I mean, we could home school her during elementary school, and once she gets a little older, we can enroll her in public school."
"Yeah, I guess," Angela muttered, clearly stressed over the situation. "I just want her to have some sense of normalcy."
"I know, baby." Sam nodded. "We'll figure it out. Next year, we'll home school her, and we'll take it from there. I don't want you to stress too much about it, Angie. I can guarantee she's going to get her education."
"You don't think we'll be depriving her of social interaction?" Angela's brows furrowed in concern.
Sam understood why Angela was so stressed over their situation. He wanted to make sure that Grace could have as normal a life as possible, but at the same time, they needed to be practical.
"Baby, she's already a social butterfly." Sam laughed. "She'll be okay, Angie."
Angela looked up at Sam and her eyes softened. He always knew how to ease her worries about motherhood. A lot of the time, she felt so insecure about her parenting abilities, and Sam was always there to reassure her.
"Thank you, Sammy. I love you."
"I love you, too." Sam leaned across the table and pecked her lips.
