It was a nice day in Augsburg when Gretel and Hansel were in the forest on a winter day when snow started to melt.

Gretel and Hansel were going to build a snow fort and a snowman when all of a sudden Gretel saw with her brother that there wasn't any snow left on the ground like they fought it would be it was April 6th.

"Sis, what happened to all the snow? we have no snow." Hansel said.

"Spring is here. Snow is melting and all of it is all gone," Gretel took a deep sniff witch spring her favorite season is coming "Hello spring."

"Yep, all the ice on the pound that we skate is all melted. But it's still to cold to go swimming."

"We'll go swimming, in the summer. It will be hot on that time." Gretel then saw leaves on the trees witch they are growing with cherybloossoms witch are falling from the trees.

"See Hansel, another sign of spring."

Then Hansel and Gretel jumped on a tree and they see that spring is coming they climbed to their best spot to look at the view.

"Ahh...the smell of spring." Hansel sighed.

"Don't you just love it Hansel, spring. Birds are coming back, fish are swimming again, leaves are back on trees; cherybloossoms falling down from the trees, animals come back, they have new babies..." Gretel sighed with Hansel then Muriel saw the two witch hunters from down on the ground of the tree.

"And Red's baby is coming."

Gretel and Hansel were startled by Muriel's voice from the ground they got back down to see her.

"Muriel. We didn't see you, we're just saying things about what happens in spring." Gretel said.

"Yes, I saw that spring is here tomorrow. And Red; my sister, is having her baby very soon could be anytime now." Muriel said.

"You're going to be an aunt soon, aren't you?"

Muriel then nodded after Hansel finished of what he said.

"So, I'll be seeing her this afternoon; just to see that she's doing fine, and the baby is healthy. That's sort of thing."

"That would be great." Muriel said to Gretel.

That afternoon.

Muriel and Gretel were checking on Red the pregnant red-haired witch when Mina came to visit the witches.

"Hey girls, what's going on?" Mina asked.

"We're checking on Red."

"Why? is she due?"

"No, she's pregnant. And we need to be sure that the baby is healthy and doing well." Gretel said as Muriel was brushing her sister's hair.

"Oh I see, how's Red doing?"

"I'm doing well, thank you Mina for asking." Red said.

Then Mina went to where Gretel is she was hearing the baby's heartbeat and feeling kicks of the unborn baby.

"Can I hear the heartbeat?" Mina asked Gretel.

"Sure Mina, have your ear on her stomach. There's a baby that is almost ready to be born." Gretel said as Mina hear the heartbeats of a new and unborn baby, Gretel did too then when Muriel finished brushing Red's hair she listened the baby's heartbeat with Mina and Gretel and feeling kicking with them. It was a sign that Red and her baby are very healthy.

When Gretel got back home Hansel had a note that was in the mail and it was to all witch, troll and witch hunters are welcome to come to the witch, troll witch hunter show and Hansel and Gretel didn't know it was tomorrow.

"I can't go to that Hansel, Muriel can't because Red is due with her baby soon."

"Well, who else am I going there with?" Hansel asked.

"Go with Horned, Mina, Edward and Ben. Me, Red and Muriel; we'll be fine here. It's only a couple of hours." Gretel told him.

"Well yes I can go with them, while you and Muriel stay with Red; that sounds good."

Gretel then smiled at Hansel.

"I love that plan Hansel, so drop me off at Muriel's cave. And you and our friends can go to the witch hunting show."

"That would be great." Hansel said.
