4. More Problems

King Peppy sat in his rocking chair seemingly focused on a puzzle that he had been working on for weeks at this point. He stared at the puzzle with great determination that nothing could stop him.

"Dad! I have news!." The elder troll heard his daughter walk in his pod. King Peppy looked up to see Viva standing in front of him. "What's got you so excited?" He questioned as he put his puzzle down to focus on her. "Poppy is pregnant and you're going to be a grandpa!" Viva squealed again for the 100th time that day. She looked at him for a reaction but quickly frowned when his excitement never went through. "Aren't you excited?" The blonde troll asked as she grew worried that he was quiet.

"Has Poppy said anything about her pregnancy?" King Peppy looked at her with curiosity. "Uh, no but she's going to announce it pretty soon and I'm so excited!" Viva smiled at the thought of becoming an aunt. She really hoped that Poppy would name their future daughter after her. She started thinking about her future niece or nephew who she couldn't wait to meet.

"Viva, don't spread false rumors about your sister ever again." He continued on with his puzzle barely noticing the confused look on Viva's face. "But she is pregnant! I can't believe you don't support your own daughter!" Viva protested. He looked at her very confused. "I do support my daughter. I just know her very well." Viva rolled her eyes. "Why can't you accept her pregnancy? You're acting like your not interested!" The blonde troll angrily got up and walked out of her dad's Pod upset by the fact that her dad didn't support her sisters pregnancy.

Meanwhile, King Peppy shook his head disappointed that this conversation didn't go very well. After a few minutes passed, he finally finished his puzzle just in time as Poppy and Branch walked in holding hands. He immediately noticed a crestfallen look on Poppy's face. "Viva told me that you're pregnant but I didn't believe her." He watched Poppy's face as she shook her head. "This is just the 10th pregnancy rumors that I had but I'm upset about this one."

The Pop Queen sighed in defeat but instantly felt better as Branch kissed her forehead reassuring her that everything will be okay. The elder troll smiled their interactions and was really glad Poppy had someone like Branch to comfort her through tough times.
