When Fiorello found out he was pregnant again, to say he was surprised was an understatement, he was long past bearing age at fifty-two, he had his four boys quite late in life they were young adults and teenagers, Acacia herself was forty-five, so this was definitely a shock.

Their eldest two being seventeen and sixteen respectively and youngest two being fourteen and thirteen, all alphas.

Staring at the blue petals of the hydrangea test, 'well shit.'


'Boys, family meeting' hearing the growling and grumbling, Fiorello was snickering into his hand while Acacia rolled her eyes, and loosed a loud growl, catching Floyd, as he was about to push Clay.

Watching as Raspberry eyes glared at his mother 'Bring it little Alpha' huffing he dropped on the sofa next to Fiorello, who started a trick he'd learned when the demon was a baby, he waited, there it was, he'd started chuffing in pleasure as the back of his ear was scratched, it still worked, Floyd was practically a puddle in his seat.

'Now the Demon is settled' this caused a round of snickers from the other brothers, 'your Baba and I would like to make an announcement, Fio' seeing his mate had opened the floor to him.

He stopped the scratches, rubbing his hand across Floyd's cheek as he whined at the loss.

'Well boys, umm, I don't know how to say this, you're going to have a new baby sibling.' Placing his hand in Acacia's he waited for their responses.

John Dory and Spruce where slightly pale 'is this why sent us to all to Grammas 3 months ago' John asked, while Spruce just turned green.

Clay winced and thought of his books 'Is it gunna be another Floyd,' he asked, 'god I hope not,' mumbled Acacia' I don't the pod would survive.'

'I heard that,' Floyd growled, 'you were meant to demon child,'

'Down children' Fiorello laughed.

'Do you know what it's gunna be?' Floyd asked rubbing the back of his ear, trying the replicate what his baba had to no avail.

'All we know is it's going to be a boy.'

'So, it's gunna be another Alpha great, if it anything like Floyd were doomed.' Groaned Clay.' That's it' a pink blur chased the lime green haired troll around the room, pinning him to the floor.

'Oh, for the love of, take outside, Floyd release, let go'

'RUN CLAY' the eldest two collapse on to their chairs in hysterics.

Rubbing his little bump, Fiorello prayed for an Omega, a nice calm omega, and went to the kitchen area, chocolate and chilli's sounded good right now.


'Ho intenzione di ucciderti, è colpa tua, why is one of the few times you listen to me ends up with me in the damn, ow ow ow'

'PUSH'

'STO SPINGENDO, CAZZO'

'I love you Fio, you're doing so good, push, my love'

'Ahhhh'

'It's a boy'

Twin blue eyes looked at each other, baba and baby were content in each other's arms.

'Welcome to the world, Baby Branch'


Branch grew as all children do, but things about the little trolling were similar to his brothers. Which made all, but Fiorello think he would be an alpha.

Floyd

This event cemented the title of demon child 2.0. Floyd was especially happy about this as he now had a second in command.

When Branch was 6 months old his favourite blue dummy had gone missing.

With Acacia taking Fiorello on a night out it had been left to the four boys to take care of Branch.

Now normally he was quite happy playing with his blocks, babbling around his dummy until it was bath time.

This time however the dummy went missing.

They had tried everything, a new dummy, his favourite bear, a book, all which got whipped at them quite violently.

Now Floyd was unfortunately a week before his rut, which made him quite a bit more irrational than normal, meaning his brothers had tried to keep away and not bother him for fear of the demon appearing.

Spruce, however, was currently under attack by the upset baby and his gums, he begged 'Branch let go, come on release, get Floyd, ow, for trolls' sake get Floyd'

John being the eldest had been elected to release the demon from his cave.

Floyd walked in the kitchen as he'd heard the commotion from his room, and he was hungry.

Seeing the feral baby holding on to Spruces finger he laughed, which cause Branch told let go and turn his baby eyes to Floyd, who proudly picked him up, tickling the baby's belly, 'who's a mini-Demon, are you coming with me, yes.'

Branch let out a sad chirp at his big brother until he was handed a biscuit, a dark chocolate biscuit, from Floyd's private stash, and promptly started sucking on it.

Taking the baby back to his room they didn't hear their parents return, as they had fallen asleep.

The remaining brothers told their parents what happened and seeing the bruises on the trio, ventured near Floyd's room, looking inside they found the duo, fast asleep, Branch curled in Floyd's hair holding his face, and a satisfied expression on Floyd's face as he held the missing blue dummy.

'Oh god there's two of them' Acacia said as she removed Branch from Floyd's hair. She missed the knowing glint in Fiorello's eye.

Clay

When Clay was a trolling, he was very protective of his books, especially around Floyd. Now this wasn't unusual as his mama was the same about hers.

His brothers all had a similar problem with their personal things but not to the degree Clay and Acacia were, they knew where certain things were put, and you didn't touch them. Period.

Branch like his Baba had a certain attachment to soft things the softer the better.

Now Fiorello only got like this around his heat cycle and the family knew not to mess with him, so when blankets, soft shirts etc went missing the family assumed it was Fiorello.

However, when one of Clays leather books went missing there was a conversation, to which Fiorello had told him point blank said it wasn't him and to watch the tone.

Clay had been searching everywhere for the book, when spotted Branch coming out Floyd's room with Mr. Sprinkles (Floyd will deny to anyone he still had the stuffed hedgehog) rubbing his little face against it.

Watching him toddle to the nursery, Clay to a look when Branch had been put down for his nap.

There it was a small nest, his book was placed near the top, Spruces favourite blanket, John Dory's coat, Mr. Sprinkles, Baba's pillow, and Mama's towel.

'Clay if you value your fingers, I'd leave that book where it is' came his Baba's voice.

'but'

'you'll get it back, just wait a week' his Baba finished.

Branch had woken from his nap and promptly returned to the nursery only to find things had been moved. Let's just say Clay still has a scar, and Branch didn't even have teeth.

Spruce/Bruce

Spruce was no stranger to food, he loved cooking and often helped Fiorello in the kitchen, Acacia had been banned after setting fire to the oven making toast, (everyone was still confused how she managed it, so for the safety of the pod, she didn't cook).

Fiorello hadn't been feeling well as of late, so Spruce had offered to help and cook meals.

That's when he found out Branch wanted to help, he was around 10 months old, so lifting him on to the side away from the sink and cooker, Spruce let Branch help, they were making cupcakes.

When they were cooled Spruce had offered one to Branch who was watching Spruce decorate and tried as well, what Spruce had noticed was when clean up started Branch had become very territorial about the placement, his Baba was the same.

…..

Branch had been asked to get his family, because he had set the seating, and Spruce was too scared to mess with him, he still had bruises.

Dragging his Baba in Branch proudly presented the table he worked hard on, cooing at the baby's effort Fiorello went to sit before Spruce got chance to say anything Branch shrieks erupted and angry babbling started.

His baba clearly knew the problem and moved away letting Baby Demon guide him to his proper seat, watching he attacked his brothers because they dared try and sit, all but Floyd, who had a shit eating grin on his face, because waited after the assault on his mothered kneecaps,

A smug smirk playing on Fiorello's face. Oh yeah, my baby's an Omega.

John Dory.

The less said about the event the better, he still suffers flashbacks.

Acacia and John were wrestling in the back yard with the others watching cheering for their mother.

Let's just say Branch wasn't always the mud puppy he was now, he liked being clean, he liked his surrounding area clean he still likes it clean.

Now the night before it had been raining and Branch had refused to be put down, so cradled in his Baba's arms he watched contently sucking on his bottle.

Until the wrestling duo had hit a large mud puddle sending the dirt everywhere, including the omega parent and son, who were now looking at the pair in shock.

Now baby branch was normally a content and happy baby for five months old, he only had one other dislike in the world and that was a rather pushy pink princess and the large amounts of glitter that seemed to follow her.

Patting the mud that was on his face and looking at it, as his baba stood in a similar state, the five alphas coward at the duo as flames built up in their eyes.

Now as stated Branch was not a mud pup as he is now, he still likes to be clean, but all five alphas suddenly felt themselves go cold as two angry omegas destroyed them, verbally in Fiorello's case, as Branch couldn't talk, he did however have wicked aim, threw his bottle at him mother and well poor John suffered greatly, he doesn't like to think about it.

The two omegas now went back indoors and threw a bucket of cold water and soap and told the alphas to clean up outside if they dared come in house.

They smartly decided to go see their grandmother.

The two omegas sat in the warm water of their bathroom, Branch once again content and clean.

When the family walked in, the glare the duo was enough to have them all grovelling.


After Branchs first birthday he was found to the shock of the family (except Fiorello who was laughing in a corner) he was an omega.

It was not believed among many but those few who did know the family's lineage could trace it to one of first sets of royal families, from their mother and father's lines, each side boasting talented Alpha's and Omega's, there lines had been blended with the various genres of music.

The two lines combined had brought something new to the troll tree a large family which many pop trolls envied, five pups in the same family all pop but with something a little more, was unheard of, this meant the older brothers were the most sought-after alphas, for there looks, talent and potential.

Unfortunately, when Branch's gender was found out amongst the tribe, courting requests came thick and fast, many older families saw him as their chance to have large number of talented children.

Baby Branch became the most sort after Omega alive.

To keep their Baby safe under the eyes of Rosiepuff, four contracts were made the official courting and marriage contract which were given to Floyd, who promptly split them handing one half to Spruce.

The other two were given the family rights, they were rarely used but with the number of trolls that kept coming to the pod, it had been decided it would be for the safer.

These were handed down, through generations and had connections to other trusted families or tribes, who could provide a contact for their son if the worst came, and he became the only one left.

They never thought their sons would leave.


Poppy had been told the story of her family many times it was her favourite bedtime story.

She listened as Viva told her the story of the solid pink Alpha Queen Papaver (like her) and her solid blue Omega consort Ramus, and their many children.

How Papaver had helped Ramus when he lost his family and turned grey, she had brought his colours back, over a period of courting the omega had fallen in love with her, bringing back his true colours.

When she looked at her colours, she had promised herself, when she found a blue troll who matched the felt images in her book, she would marry him.

This had started her obsession with the young Branch she had hoped he would be an Omega, her omega.


Branch liked many things, his favourite things in order were his Baba, Mama, Floyd, Gramma, Spruce, Clay, Dory, his dummy, and Mr. Sprinkles (Floyd shared him, sort of) and fluff berry cake.

What he didn't like was dirt, people touching his soft pile, he wasn't fond of glitter, but he could deal with it. He just didn't like it on his things.

What he hated was the pink troll who kept touching him.

He'd been brought to his first day of troll care to meet other trollings and make friends and he was happy to do so his brother couldn't always play with him.

He'd been playing happily with Mr. Sprinkles at the table he was a little shy, there was a group in the story corner he was thinking about going over, when a pink troll sat at the table next to him, he didn't know why but something about her had made him dislike the way she took over his table chattering fast, and she was touching Mr. Sprinkles with … that was glitter. He hated glitter.

A gasp of shock came from him as he snatched the hedgehog away from the annoying pink troll and moved to the book corner, shaking the glitter off.

Snuffling the hedgehog against his face when he'd got most of the glitter off, he stopped close to the story corner becoming shy, he forgot about four other trollings there.

A purple troll with red hair, orange with purple and white hair and googles like JD's, and two glittery trolls one teal like him with tall blue hair and the other yellow with rainbow hair.

They were looking at him, the trolling with purple and white hair was closest and staring at him, he watched as the others looks to each other nodding, 'Hi I'm Trickee' he hid his face behind the stuffy, he heard them giggle.

He jumped when he felt a hand in his, looking down he saw the orange trolling had taken his hand, 'do you want to sit with us.'

Branch looked behind him and saw the pink troll still staring at him, quickly looked back at the group nodding, he saw a smile on Trickee's face as he had gently tugged him forward.

Watching as Trickee pointed out the others, 'this is Boom, he has rainbow hair' Boom bounced up hugging the Branch, 'I like your hedgehog,' smiling Branch hugged him back, 'I like your Bunny' he spied it next to his seat.

'That's Ablaze' Trickee pointed, 'Hi, was Poppy bothering you, are you okay?' nodding, he looked back and saw Poppy was still watching him, 'can you make her stop?' Branch whispered; he was nervously twiddling the foot of Floyd's stuffy.

Ablaze looked at Trickee and brought the shorter trolling to sit between them, 'and the only left is'

'IS ME, am HYPE' came from the bouncing glitter troll, 'YOU LOOK LIKE ME.' Beach let out a startled 'eep.'

'Hype' 'Dude' Cool it man, you'll scare him'

'Hey, your safe, sorry about the glitter head' Ablaze said rubbing Branchs back.

Looking back at the group, he settled at the soft circle motion Ablaze was making, he nodded 'it's okay' remembering what Floyd and Baba had told him, he took a deep breath, 'am Branch' seeing the four trolls smile at him, 'this is Mr. Sprinkles'

Boom lifted his bunny 'this is Sparkles.'

Ablaze was still rubbing his back, it was making him sleepy, yawning he heard Hype whisper, 'I think it's nap time guys,'

'Good idea I could use a nap.' He fell asleep on Ablaze's side.

Branch woke up warm, he was surrounded by the four trollings, Boom was hugging him, Trickee was asleep on his leg, he and Boom were on Ablaze's tummy, while Hype was sleeping on Booms side. Happy and warm he snuggled back into Boom, when he felt a purple hand on his head, happy he fell back to sleep.

….

The teacher had called the end of the day, Branch was happy he'd made four new friends.

There were all in the sand box waiting for their parents to get them, when Poppy came over, the four trollings yelled at her to leave him alone, trying to pull him behind them, when she tried drag him away, she wouldn't let go.

She growled at them, only a weak, small one, but he lived with four big brothers, and wasn't called mini-Floyd for no reason, pushing his way forward, he growled, a full warning growl, don't mess with me type, he'd learned it from Floyd, (who was proud when he first used it).

The four trollings behind him stood in shock, all but Boom were Alphas, and they couldn't do that yet and Boom wanted to learn.

Seeing that Poppy was shocked he pushed her away, he really didn't like her touching him, 'GO WAY' watching her leave with a huff, he turned around to the others, 'you hurt' he asked shyly hoping he hadn't lost as friends.

Shocked at the group hug, 'can you teach me' 'that was awesome' 'how's you do that' 'you are's now are's B' feeling warm he sunk into the hug.

After this a friendship was forged as close as brothers, they named themselves Kismet, after the knights in what they all learned was their favourite story about the Legend of the Perfect Harmony.


Branch was one and a half when the Bergens had taken his parents, six months later his brothers left, he was so excited when he was allowed to go on stage with them.


He was laying on Gramma's lap hugging Sprinkles, when he saw Sparkles, Boom's white Bunny.

Crying harder he ran to his friends who just hugged him tighter. They promised to never leave. That they would be family always.

When his Gramma died, Branch had tried to push them away, they let him grieve, but they always made time to visit even it meant sitting outside his bunker, watching from a tree line, leaving food they knew he liked near his home, they wouldn't abandon him not like the others. They didn't care that he was grey he a was as theirs and they were his.

They promised.


When Poppy had brought back his colours, they worried they'd seen how obsessed she was with him, and how that obsession had grown, now that 'she' had given Branch a reason to be happy.

After the rock world tour, they stayed by Branchs side as much as possible, until Poppy had named him ambassador to the pop trolls to keep Branch near her.

When they saw what happened at the Enchantment dance, they were thrilled at the reggaeton who had taken Branch to his newly claimed parents.

They made a plan.

They'd keep the now Queen in their sight, and report anything to royal family.

Their little brother lit up with the reggaeton troll, who's arm he was holding, they'd see he got his happily ever after, for they were Kismet, brothers, and best friends.

Family.

That was one of Branchs idiot brothers, Ablaze, Trickee and Hype cracked knuckles, Boom started growling.
