Jessica's jaw unhinged and she stared at Roger and the apparent Mrs. Rabbit both. "Y-you're his mother?"

The woman glanced distastefully at Jessica, taking in her appearance with a sniff of scorn. Jessica felt somewhat naked under her stern gaze and unconsciously felt the need to cover herself.

"Of course I am. Roger probably never introduced us because he was so ashamed of you."

Jessica's eyes widened in shock as Roger gasped.

"Mom! You can't say that to her!" he said angrily. "How did you even get in here?"

"No door can stop a mother when her son is in trouble. Especially one as flimsy as yours."

Jessica glanced over the Mrs. Rabbit's shoulder to see that, indeed, their front door was in two pieces. How they had not heard it, she had no idea.

"Mom, I can't believe you're here... what are you even doing here?" Roger said from his place on the couch.

Her expression turned compassionate and she ran over to him, pushing Jessica out of the way. She crouched down to pet his head soothingly while Jessica bit back a protest and rubbed her throbbing arm.

"Oh honey, you know I have to take care of my babies when they're sick. I couldn't live with myself if you were uncared for." she cooed.

Jessica stepped in to address Rogers mother. "Actually, I was taking care of him before you arrived. How did you even know he was sick?"

Rogers mom turned to glare at Jessica and scowl. "All mothers know when their children need them. And I don't want my baby left in your incapable hands."

Jessica raised her hands in defense and took a cautious step away from the woman's piercing eyes. She wasn't sure why she was being attacked so heavily. She wondered if she had somehow left the wrong impression on his mom. As far as she knew, they hadn't even met. She hadn't even seen the woman at their wedding.

"Woah, where is all this coming from?" she asked hesitantly.

Mrs. Rabbit's eyes narrowed and she snarled. "I know your type. You date wonderful boys like mine and then toss them aside when they seem boring. I tried to tell Roger that you were no good but he went and got himself involved with you anyway. And now look at him, he's practically at death's door!"

Jessica paled and her stomach dropped. The words hit her like sharp punches and she felt an overwhelming wave of sadness enter her. His mother hated her to the core.

"Mom! I told you not talk to Jessica like that!" Roger said angrily, trying to get up. He flinched and turned a bit green.

His mother gently pushed him back down and shook her head solemnly. "Don't worry Roger. Soon you'll find a nice girl back home ten times better and marry her. I have a friend who's got a daughter your age."

"Hey!" Jessica said, flabbergasted.

"Mom, that is absolutely not happening!" Roger said, as Jessica walked over and grabbed his hand. "Besides, Jess and I are already married."

His mother's eyes widened and she took a few shaky steps back. She began stammering. "M-m-married?!"

Jessica looked at her and then turned to Roger, who looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. She crossed her arms.

"You didn't tell your mother about us? I thought your whole family was at the ceremony!" she said.

He groaned and rubbed his eyes. "Everyone except her. I knew she'd do something like this so I asked everyone to keep the wedding a secret."

"So what, you were going to lie to your mother about me for the rest of your life, Roger?" Jessica said unhappily.

He winced and looked away shamefully. "I honestly hadn't thought that far. Sorry Jess."

She stared at his guilty face and then sighed. "Whatever. It doesn't change things."

"It most certainly does!" Rogers mom screamed. "You are getting a divorce as soon as you're better, Roger!"

"Mom, I'm a grown rabbit. You can't just decide things for me." he said exasperatingly.

"And I love Roger, regardless of your jurisdiction. I won't leave him for anything." Jessica said sternly.

Rogers mom turned red and glared daggers at the two of them. Neither budged, Jessica was too prideful and Roger was too sick. A stare down occurred, both parties trying to get the other to cave in.

Finally, numbers won out and Rogers mother looked away. She growled angrily and refused to meet Jessica's eyes.

"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you, Roger."

Jessica smiled in victory and Roger grasped her hand with a pride filled grin. They watched as Rogers mother turned around and began walking towards her suitcases. To their surprise, Roger's mom just picked them up and turned back around and began walking towards the guest room.

"Mom? What are you doing?" Roger called out.

She poked her head out of the door frame. "What does it look like I'm doing? Moving in, of course."
