That's intresting, does dad ever go home after the school-day ends and Nebs said she saw him at the Free Food Kitchen this morning, I should ask if he's okay.
It was the next morning and Rocket was dropping RJ off at pre-school noticing his dad looked like he never left his classroom which made him wonder, if everything was okay pulling him aside while the kids were playing.
".. To tell the truth, I don't have a place to call home besides this place feels like home to me, plus I go without lunch but eat leftover snacks after the lil kits eat them after naptime and sleep in the play fort at night." he admitted sniffling.
"Ohhhhh pops this is nothing to be ashamed of, you know it's not just kits who sometimes need help, grown ups too plus Nebs and I have extra room, just think about it." he whispered softly hugging him unaware RJ was watching finding it sweet getting an idea wanting to tell his friends seeingthem there wondering what was wrong.
"I think our teacher is sad and as he's the best teacher ever, he needs cheering up." RJ told them decidibg to do an art project hearing their teacher saying to come to the rug for Circle Time seeing them there noticing they were up to something guessing RJ had seen him and figured out he was sad butholdingit together for them hoping his dad might bring his grandpa teacher lunch and snacks but he and his friends were looking forward to art time to put their plan into action.
"Okay my lil kits it's art time, no paint fights okay, Astro." Rocket Senior said smiling
Theywere making a giant mural showing how they appreciated their teacher and all the things he did for and with them seeing tears in his eyes after showing him but he explained they were happy tears and appreciated their art hugging them crying just as Rocket walked in noticing a meltdown was happening, hearing his dad howl crying like him when he cried seeing the kids hugging.
"I think we broke our teacher, help fix him, please." RJ said
"Ohhhhh no he's not broken, he's not having a great time." Rocket to,d him.
"But our teacher has a good time with us." Teefs said.
"It's kinda a grown up problem and he's hurting, go play outside okay." Rocket replied seeing them stampede outside but was getting his dad tissies seeing his dad blowing his snout sniffling, sitting on the rug but cuddling him reassuring him he was a really good teacher and told him he could move in with him and Nebula if he wanted to plus saw the Jewish storybook his kits loved at home, so reading to him as it was calming him, seeing him tired lying down like rest-time putting the lunchbag on his dad's desk wrapping a blanket aroubd him, kissing his head seeing the kids there seeing him whispering that their teacher was having an nap.
"We get it, we got him." RJ whispered as he left them be.
"Wow, your dad's struggling and sleeping in his classroom andyou did tell him, we have room." Nebula said to Rocket after he'd came home but bothered by his dad's situation and nodded only told her his dad would think about it and showed her the photo of the art project that RJ and the kids had made for his dad to cheer him up.
"Awwww so sweet, no wonder yohr dad cried, we should help." she replied to him.
"Yeah but only if he wants to." Rocket told her as he was making a snack for RJ when he got home, hoping his dad was okay seeing RJ home with his dad holding his paw which he found sweet, asking his dad what made him change his mind.
"The kids helped plus RJ said you guys didn't mind." Rocket Senior replied shyly which Nebula foundsweet welcoming him gently making him coffee as he'd had a hard day surprising him making his furry cheeks go pink making Nebula and Rocket exchange a look.
"You're family and we help each other plus you do a lot for yohr lil kits but not for yourself, you even buy new things for the classroom oht of yohr own money, and you sleep in yohr classroom instead of a house so we're happy to have you here." Rocket told him.
