Chapter 2. Sorry it took a while. Two reasons as to why it's late. One, I was stuck on ideas, and two, I spent 2 days sick at home in bed. It was never so fun but I made the best of it by writing this chapter and a short story(just a one shot that's kind of based on my sick days which I already posted) which I will post soon. Enjoy! And I read MBSAVfan's new story Christmas Fears and I just want to thank them for like the third for dedicating it to me and how happy I am that my story inspired you! Keep writing, you're the best!

And I want to take a moment to honor the victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that occurred in Connecticut on Friday by taking a brief vigil of silence for them. May they rest in peace and may God bless them. Today in school we wore green and white to honor the people who were killed. Also, the principal and one of my teachers told us to be there for one another and have each others' backs and to be kind and respect others. I strongly suggest we all do it together.

"Hey sweetie how was your day?" Squint's mother Eva asked. "Did you have fun playing with Harry?"

"Yeah Mom, tons!" Squint replied. "We ran around playing tag, told jokes and the best part was we played pirates!"

"That's nice honey. Why don't you go play with Matty and Tim, they're waiting for you."

"Okay mom!" Squint piped up happily as he ran off to the nursery to play with his younger brothers.

"Can we keep Squint on a leash Mom?" asked Rachel. Her little brother would always run somewhere where she would spend half her day looking for him and she will have to keep track of him now.

"Why on earth would we do that?" Eva questioned her daughter.

"So I won't have to keep looking for him it's exhausting!"

"Rachel, don't be such a drama queen."

Rachel just rolled her eyes at her mother's comment."

"Squint!" Squint was greeted by the happy sounds of his hyper, three-year-old twin brothers Matt and Timmy as they jumped and tackled him to the ground. They were fraternal twins with Matt looking like a miniature version of and Timmy being white and having beige and black patches on him. They loved their big brother more then anything and always looked up to him. Squint loved his little brothers too but they would be like him a little bit too much.

"Hi guys!" Squint greeted with a strain in his voice struggling to get up from his little brothers. "Not that I'm not happy to see you guys but can you get off me please? You're crushing me."

"Oh sorry big brother!" Timmy apologized as he and Matt slowly got off of Squint.

"Can we play pirate?!" Matt asked excitedly. "PLEASE?!"

"Alright!" Squint happily piped up at the sound of his favorite game. He would always play with Harry but he didn't mind playing with his little brothers either.

"Arg! Surrender your ship and your booty now!" Timmy growled playfully.

"Make me you scurvy sea bag!" Matt scowled lunging at his twin brother as they playfully wrestled with each other. Squint joined in with them too but tried to get them to keep it down to not wake up their little sister Lisa.

"Guys use your inside voices!" Squint whispered harshly to Matt and Timmy but they ignored him and continued their play fights.

"Guys, seriously you're gonna wake-"

To late. Lisa started crying already from being woken up. Rachel immediately rushed into the nursery to calm her down while Eva was preparing for dinner.

"Guys PLEASE be quiet next time!" Rachel snapped at her little brothers while picking up her sister and rocking her in a comfortable manner. "I never woke you guys up like that when you were sleeping! Although Squint never liked Rachel's constant nagging, she did have a point in that.

"Anyway," Rachel continued in a more gentle tone. "Dinner's ready." the three little boys ran into the dining room of their rabbit hole eager for their dinner.

Barry, Hank, Dan and Roger, Squint's older brothers. (a year younger then Rachel) hopped into the rabbit hole greeting their mother, their sister and their little brothers with their daily noogies which they tolerated. While eating their dinner of carrots, turnips and other vegetables, Eva spoke.

"So Squint, do you and Harry want to have another play mate in your group?" she asked.

"Why?" Squint asked curiously.

"Because I heard that a kangaroo family moved into the village a couple of days ago and they have a daughter who's your age. Maybe you and Harry can get to know her and show her around a bit. Would you like that?"

Squint nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah it would be cool I guess." he didn't really know what to say to that. Other then his mother and sisters, he's never been around girls and he didn't have much experience about them, but he was willing to give it a shot.

"Great!" chimed Eva I'll let the parents know. That little girl is going to be so excited when she makes new friends tomorrow!"

Done, again sorry it's short but the next chapter will be guaranteed cuteness and a sneak peek to an upcoming story that I'm planning coming out sometime in early to mid January. Please review! :)
