Hi, everyone! Sorry I'm so late on updating. I've been busy. As a matter of fact, this weekend I'll try to update a lot on every story that's incomplete. I think I have this entire story in mind. But I'm not going to rush. I'll make ten chapters at the least. Maybe more. Anyway, enjoy. MORE REVIEWS!

Jeanette nuzzled her husband's chest affectionately before lifting her head. She didn't want to wake up, but her morning sickness was bugging her again.

Climbing off the bed, Jeanette quickly made her way to the bathroom to let out what her stomach didn't want. It was a bit harder to run and climb since Jeanette was now two weeks pregnant, and her tummy was a lot bigger than it was last week. Simon came into the bathroom and rubbed her back soothingly.

Once she was finished, Simon grabbed a washcloth to wipe her lips. She opened her violet eyes, and the whites were tinted red from coughing so much.

"Feeling better?" Jeanette nodded weakly, trying to catch her breath. "May I have some privacy to brush my teeth?"

Simon kissed her cheek. "Of course."

He shut the bathroom door so it was cracked slightly, and stood by it hoping Jeanette would be okay. He then heard a knock on the bedroom door. Hesitantly looking at the bathroom door and the bedroom door, Simon had to choose. Would Jeanette be okay if he just left for a second? Or can whoever is knocking wait a minute? Eventually sighing in defeat he ran to the bedroom door and hopped up to the handle to twist it. Once it opened, the chipmunk hopped down and was greeted by Ellie, Jeanette's mother. (A/N: I just wanted to clarify that Ellie from Ice Age is Jeanette's adoptive mother in my stories, not Ellie or Eleanor her sister)

"Oh, good morning Ellie. Do you need us for something?" Normally if Ellie or Manny knocked on the kid's bedroom doors, they'd either be letting them know it's dinner time or asking them for a favor.

"Oh, no, no sweetie. Um, we're all going on a week long trip to go to a funeral."

"A funeral?!" Simon said in surprise. "One of the villagers passed away?"

"A Hyrax passed away last night over in Oakwood Valley. They're holding his funeral there. It's an awfully long trip." Ellie informed. Then she noticed her daughter wasn't around. "Where's Jeanette?"

"Oh, uh, morning sickness." Simon pointed towards the bathroom and Ellie gave a understanding nod.

"Simon, who's at the door?" Jeanette's voice called from the bathroom. Simon's eyes widened in fear, thinking that Jeanette would try to jump off the sink counter by herself. He ran into the bathroom and once he reached Jeanette on the counter, scooped her up in his arms bridal style. "Your mother came to inform us that we're taking a week long trip to Oakwood Valley to attend the funeral of one of the hyraxes." He reached the bed and layed his wife down.

"One of the hyraxes passed away? Oh goodness, they were so sweet."

"We should get ready."

They were told they only needed small things for the trip, so Simon and Jeanette put all of the essentials into a small backpack that Simon assured he should carry.

Ever since he found out Jeanette was pregnant, he'd been very protective. It irritated her most of the time, but she knew Simon wouldn't leave her side for anything. He wouldn't even let her walk (or waddle) on her own. (A/N: Sound firmiliar?)

Once the herd left the treehouse, everyone stopped for a minute when the sound of a firmiliar voice called out.

"Wait up!" Sid ran (barely) to the herd panting and wheezing.

"Oh, Sid darling!" Brooke, Sid's wife shouted out of concern. "Why did you guys leave me?"

Diego groaned in annoyance. "I thought we could get away with that." He whispered to Manny. Almost immediately, a trunk came and slapped Manny in the back of the head.

"Ow!" Cried Manny.

"Manny, I thought you said everyone in the herd was accounted for!" Ellie scolded. "Yeah Diego, you told me we didn't forget anyone! What's next, you're going to leave our kids by themselves?" Shira demanded, with three little cubs walking beside her.

"No, Shira! I just- Hey, you'd want a vacation from Sid too if he did everything to annoy you."

Shira just looked at her husband in disbelief. "You're such a jerk! Scott, DJ, Lily, come with Mommy." Shira called her cubs and walked to the front of the herd, the cubs following as their mother completely ignored Diego.

Manny gave Ellie a nervous smile and Ellie gave him a very angry look.

"This was supposed to be a vacation for the entire family, but now you can spend it by yourself!" Ellie walked to the front of the herd with Shira and the cubs.

Jeanette shook her head furiously. She loved her Dad and Uncle Diego, but there were a lot of moments where they took it too far when being mean to Uncle Sid. Being mean to him wasn't right at all, especially since Sid did nothing to deserve it. Not intentionally, anyway.

The herd was deep into the forest by nightfall, and it was at the point where no one could see. It was best they took shelter for the night.

They found a cave, and no one had talked the entire day. Normally Ellie would sleep close to Manny, but she was still quite angry with him after the incident this morning.

Diego layed down by himself and looked at Shira, who had apparently been staring at him this entire time. Once she noticed Diego was looking back at her, she glared and furiously turned away, pulling the sleeping cubs closer to her stomach. Okay, she was still mad.

Simon and Jeanette snuggled close, Jeanette's head resting on his chest as always. Simon's paw rested and gently rubbed Jeanette's enlarged stomach, lulling her to sleep.

Brittany smiled at her baby sister as she rested her head on Alvin's chest. Since they've been married for a little while, maybe they can try to have a baby...

Theodore snuggled against Eleanor, who fell asleep on her fiance's comfortable chest. The two were getting married in a month. Eleanor dreamt of a baby chipmunk in her arms. Hers and Theodore's baby chipmunk.

Brooke rubbed Sid's back gently. He was still upset for being left behind this morning. Poor dear...

The two possum brothers were asleep on a tree branch, snoring loudly.

Peaches and Julian snuggled close with their son, Berry. They felt so lucky to be a family.

As for Buck and his "daughter" (who was actually a pumpkin) layed down comfortably on a ledge in the cave.

"Sleep tight, darling." Buck said to the pumpkin. (A/N: I forgot it's name) He held his daughter close when he heard a wolf howling in the night. He didn't trust wolves, and their howling surprisingly terrified him. Curling up, he decided it was best to get some sleep.

Buck's dream:

A young weasel decided to take adventure in a big, scary forest. It was pitch black and the only thing lighting the creepy forest was the big, blue glow from the moon.

"Buck, what're we doing here? I'm scared." Whimpered a young female weasel named Francine, who was probably about 8 years old. Like Buck, she had a British accent.

An 8 year old Buck climbed down a wooden fence, landing next to his friend. This was way before he met Rudy, went to the Dino world, lost his eye and became crazy. "C'mon Frannie, there's nothing to be scared of. Let's set sail to adventure!" Young Buck said, running ahead.

Francine let out a exasperated sigh. Her friend Buck was fun, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with being adventurous, but one day his daredevilish lifestyle might get him killed. After walking away from the fence, there was a yellow sign with big, black bold lettering that read:

Danger: viscous predators

Once the two young weasels went deeper into the forest, Francine looked around uncomfortably while Buck gave his friend a mischievous smirk.

"Frannie, you wanna hear a story?"

"Don't try to scare me, Buckminster! This ugly, smelly forest is creepy enough." Complained Francine. "I won't scare ya."

"Promise?" Francine asked.

"Promise. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. Well, I won't do that last bit, I wanna keep both my eyes." Francine nodded for him to continue.

"There was once a married couple walking in this very forest. The blue moon shined at it's highest point, lighting the entire forest. Tree branches that looked like they were gonna reach out and grab ya! Blood covering every rock..." Francine looked very scared. "The bushes rattled, the husband held out a hand and said "wait right there, darling". As the husband approached... the bushes rattled more and more, until... out came... A WOLF!" Buck yelled, jumping and holding up his arms. Francine screamed loudly, and Buck laughed hard, knowing he scared her.

"Buck! How could you scare me like that, you bloody moron! You promised!" Francine cried. Tears started to spill down the young female's cheeks and Buck stopped laughing.

"I'm going home!"

"No, Francine! Wait, I was kid- I didn't mean it!" Buck said, chasing her. "Sorry."

Francine stopped glaring at him. "It's alright, Buck. I guess it was a bit of fun. I shouldn't have been such a scaredy cat."

"You're not a scaredy cat, Frannie. I think you're very brave! And pretty!" Francine blushed, getting lost in his big, blue eyes. To be honest, she's had a crush on Buck for quite a long time.

"Buck, I-"

"Shh!"

"Don't shush me!" Francine demanded, paws on her hips. "No, I heard something."

"Oh, very funny Buck. You're just trying to scare me again. Yeah, the married couple dies. Scary." Once she turned around, Francine let out a blood curling scream as a wolf came down on her.

Buck watched in absolute horror as his best friend and secret crush was eaten right in front of him.

"FRANCINE! NOOOOOOOOO!"

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Young Buck's voice mixed with present day Buck's as he bolted awake. That was the worst night of his life.

I'm sad that I'm ending here, but I think I should stop here for now. I'll hopefully be able to update later. I hope I did a good job! Review, ask questions, but PLEASE REVIEW! I'll update frequently, bye for now!
