Honestly, it was a simple solution. His button up had a pocket on the front, just above his right bicep. Nicole had grown herself to be around 3 inches tall beforehand to be able to stand peek out of the top. The little lady's eyes sparkled with glee as she saw the marine life all around her. She's been here a few times before, and it was always fun. But now she got to see it all again in a new light. Each of the fish in the tanks seemed like massive kaiju to her! It was like living in a monster movie!
Seeing his little passenger happily observing, Hank rejoined Andrew and Sadie. He walked with them through the various areas of sea life, happily chatting and joking around with them. Andrew seemed very interested in the deep water fish. His class, Nicole included, were going to have a paper due on marine biology once they finished their sex ed stuff. He figured it would be good to learn a bit now while he could see it up close.
Meanwhile, Sadie wanted to spend nearly the entire time at the touch tank. She giggled happily as she pet the back of a starfish and small stingray. Nicole looked at her with envy, wanting to join in on the fun. But seeing the size difference again, she decided it would be safer not to risk becoming fish food.
A few hours later, they left the aquarium and drove back. Hank drove them around to a rather nice neighborhood, stopping in front of a large house. The house he used to share with his wife. He looked back to his children, trying to keep a positive appearance. But the sadness was clear in his eyes.
"Well kids...this is it. Your mom is probably waiting for you inside" he said, looking towards the front door. It was almost guaranteed Vivian was behind the door, watching the clock. The last time he was five minutes late she tried to change the custody agreement. He couldn't make that mistake again, or he'd risk losing his kids all together.
"Bye dad. This was a great weekend" Andrew said as he stepped out of the car. "We'll see you next week, ok?" he said while grabbing their bags from the trunk.
"Bye daddy, I love you" Sadie said sadly. She reached up to the front seat to give Hank a tight hug. Hank leaned forward to pull her in close, forgetting about the passenger in his pocket. Nicole felt extreme pressure against her, pinning her in place for nearly ten seconds. But it parted before she could worry about suffocating.
"Bye kids. I love you so much" he called out to them as Sadie stepped out of the car. The two of them waved to him before walking towards the front door. He stayed in the car, watching them to make sure they got inside before starting the car again. He could see Vivian glaring at him from inside the door. They locked eyes for a couple seconds before she slammed it shut.
With a heavy sigh, Hank began to drive away. Nicole sat awkwardly in his pocket, wondering what she should do in this situation. She wasn't really the best at comforting people. Especially when it was something she didn't fully understand. Both her parents loved each other very much, and their family was pretty close. She didn't know what a divorce and split custody would be like...though she imagined it wouldn't feel good.
The pair sat in silence as Hank drove, trying to keep his mind off it. Eventually the car came to a stop and Hank got out. He slammed the car door behind him as he marched ahead, trying to keep calm. He needed something to take his mind off of things. Thankfully, he knew just how to do it.
