A/N: I really don't have any boring announcements to bore you with, except…. Once you're done here you should go check out this truly awesome story I was reading the other day and leave a review, 'A life of lies' by MASSIVECHIPMUNKFAN, and here's chapter 4 of my story :)

The next morning Ian walked out of his bedroom in his bathrobe whistling cheerfully, he walked past Alvin and Brittany's open door glancing in, smiling to himself at the two of them cuddled together he continued on his way. Down stairs he sat down at the table, his butler brought in his plate of food and set it down in front of him, "Arnold, do you know what chipmunks eat for breakfast?" Ian asked the butler.

"I am sorry I do not, Mr. Hawke" the man replied

Ian nodded "make two more meals like this one… but a bit smaller" he said to his butler, the man nodded and left. A few minutes later as Ian began to eat Alvin hopped up onto the table shortly followed by Brittany, "what's for breakfast?" Brittany asked curiously.

"Eggs, bacon and toast" the butler replied setting the meals down in front of the two chipmunks, Alvin sniffed at the food then turned to Ian "you don't have any toaster waffles?"

"What Alvin means" Brittany interjected "is, we just aren't used to such a gourmet breakfast"

"I see" Ian said then motioned for the butler to come closer "see if you can whip up some waffles", the butler nodded then left for the kitchen, "sorry for the inconvenience… it's been quite some time since I've had chipmunks living with me" the man said with a small smile.

Brittany waited patiently while Alvin on the other hand tapped his foot impatiently, after several minutes the butler reappeared with the waffles as requested. After breakfast Ian left for Jett Records leaving the chipmunks alone in the house with just the butler, Alvin really didn't like the butler, in Alvin's opinion he was always way to formal addressing him with 'yes sir' or 'no sir' it really drove Alvin up the walls and by the end of the day he wanted to scratch the butlers face off. But Brittany on the other hand liked the attention; she enjoyed being called Ma'am and being treated as if she was someone really important.

That evening Alvin approached the butler who was helping prepare dinner, "what time is Ian going to be home at?" he asked. The butler without turning around replied "about 5:30 sir", Alvin was about to attack the butler right then and there but a gentle hand being laid on his shoulder stopped him. He whirled and saw Brittany standing there with a 'let's talk' look in her eye, Alvin nodded and walked out of the kitchen, the two small chipmunks walked through the giant mansion all the way up to their bedroom.

"Don't let it get to you" she said sitting down on the bed, "let what get to me?" Alvin asked as if nothing was wrong.

"All of this… Ian, the butler, the paparazzi… us. We'll make it through this" she said gently putting a hand on his upper arm. He nodded still very unsure "I'm just extremely stressed out right now… I have to trust the guy who almost killed you, worry about the fact that the paparazzi could single handedly ruin our lives and careers and on top of all that I have to put up with a retarded butler that won't even call me by my name". Brittany couldn't contain her amusement as she began to giggle "come on Alvin we both know you like the attention".

"The attention is nice but the constant 'yes sir… no sir' thing is really starting to drag on me" Alvin said.

"It's not really that big of a deal is it?" Brittany asked

"No it wouldn't be if that was the only problem" Alvin said "I would be able to put up with it if it was the only problem but it's not".

"I know what you mean" she said "I've been having problems for the last 2 weeks".

Alvin nodded as he slowly became lost staring into her ice blue eyes, slowly he moved closer and pulled her into a very passionate kiss.

A few seconds later Brittany pulled away just a little leaving their foreheads together "you haven't done that in a while". Alvin smiled as he gently rubbed the sides of her belly "I know… it's been way to long" he replied then pulled her into another kiss…

About an hour later both chipmunks where sitting down in the living room watching, in Alvin's opinion a 'sappy romance movie' but he put up with the movie because it was one of Brittany's favorites. Suddenly the front door opened and Ian walked in shaking the snow off his coat, "we sure are getting a lot of snow for living in California" he said as he hung up his coat. Deciding it would be a good idea to spend some time with the two chipmunks he settled down in the living room in the chair next to the couch they were sitting on, after a few minutes though he became bored with the movie and picked up the newspaper that was on the coffee table and began reading it.

The evening slowly passed giving way to the night leaving the chipmunks very tired, "good night" Ian said gently closing their door. Brittany rolled over onto her side and used her hand to support her head, as she laid there Alvin rolled over to face her, the chipmunk could see a look in her eye and asked "what is it?"

"We've been so worried about everything else we haven't even talked about names for the baby" Brittany said. "We still have about two weeks" Alvin replied "I wouldn't worry about it too much", as he went to roll over again Brittany grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back "two weeks isn't exactly what I'd call a long time".

"Ok you win… we'll talk about it first thing in the morning, after breakfast" the chipmunk said smiling at her. Brittany nodded "fine… tomorrow it is".

At the Seville's house the next morning:

Simon strode out into the living room and hopped up onto the windowsill for his daily viewing to keep the swarms of people outside right where they were but there were only about 3 different people out there. Becoming concerned he jumped down and ran out of the room calling his father's name, he ran into the music room the same time Dave was coming out "Dave they're like all gone!"

Dave quickly hurried to the front window and looked out "there's no way they gave up that easily they must have figured out where they are" he said then ran to the phone. Quickly picking it up, he dialed Ian's number and waited for an answer, "Dave… I was just about to call you they've started swarming my door we need to move them again" Ian said answering the phone. Dave nodded "I'll call D.J" he said then hung up.

On a highway somewhere outside LA two police motorcycles were engaged in a hot pursuit, "they're taking the LA exit, cut 'em off" a veteran officer wearing mirrored aviator sunglasses said into the mic of his CB radio as he swerved in and out of the traffic. "Roger that D.J" another officer said over the radio, D.J gunned the throttle of his bike sending him rocketing forward, right behind him as he flew around cars was his partner.

"Ok Pepper he turned off he should be there in about 8 seconds" D.J said flying onto the highway off ramp behind the car he was chasing. As he was rounding the corner a small handheld device started vibrating in his pocket, "dang it" the officer muttered retrieving his cell phone, flipping it open as he cruised around the corner at 65 mph he said "ello?"

"D.J… I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time" Dave said

"Oh no we're good" D.J said with a smile as he watched the car slide sideways in front of a police cruiser "hold on a second Dave" he said then skidded to a stop and picked up his mic, "you in the car… you are under arrest come out with your hands up" he said then replaced the mic.

"So Dave what's going down?" D.J asked as the other three officers apprehended the two men in the car, "Alvin and Brittany need to be moved again are you available to take them sometime today or is this a bad time?" Dave replied.

"As soon as I get off work I'll pick them up just tell me where… oh hold on a sec" he said as the three officers approached with the two handcuffed men. "You are here by charged with grand theft auto, reckless driving, assault, robbery and anything else I can pin on you… read 'em their rights and get them out of here" D.J said then put the phone back to his ear "ok so where do I pick them up at?"

Late that evening around the hour of 9:00 a yellow Jeep Wrangler was parked in the middle of a deserted back street. As the man sat in his vehicle a black SUV pulled up alongside of him, "D.J Bond?" the driver of the SUV asked the driver was a balding man with square rimmed glasses, "that would be me" the man replied "you brought the merchandise?"

"Not so fast… ID first" the other man said

"Careful…. I like that" D.J said extracting a paper from his pocket, "I'm sure you'll find the signatures in order" he said giving it to the other man. The man looked at the paper and nodded "very well… after all you can't be too careful" Ian said handing D.J the leather laptop bag.

"Pleasure doing business with you" D.J said handing the case to the man in the passenger seat, Ian nodded and drove off in one direction while D.J drove off in the other. Hogan quickly unzipped the case and Alvin hopped out followed by Brittany, "so this is your contraption" Alvin said hopping up onto the narrow dash.

"Yep" D.J replied "oh there's been a slight change in plans" he said "Hogan make the call"

The other man complied and took out his cell phone and began dialing. "What do you mean 'there's been a change in plans'?" Brittany asked somewhat worried. "Dave… Hogan here" the man said "we've made… and when I say we I mean D.J has made a few changes to the plan… instead of staying at his house in the suburbs we're taking them out to my parents place"

"Will your parents mind having two chipmunks running around the house?" Dave asked

"No… they're on a month's long vacation, I'm house sitting for them and besides it's a ranch house out in the country… those reporters won't come all the way out here looking for them" Hogan said

"Sounds great… just call me if Brittany goes into labor before we bring them home" Dave said

Hogan was silent for a second scratching his chin thoughtfully, "say that again just to make sure I understood correctly".

"Sure… I said make sure you call me if Brittany goes into labor when you fellas are watching her" Dave repeated. Hogan nodded "that's what I thought you said… and that's a will do, talk to you soon" he said then hung up.

Having heard what Hogan was saying D.J asked "something wrong?", Hogan shook his head "no… not really… we'll talk about it when we get to the house". The yellow Jeep cruised down the back roads and clear into the country, after driving for almost two hours they turned off the road and drove down the somewhat short driveway.

After everyone got out and went inside they were greeted by D.J's other two men, Pepper and John. "Me and John took the liberty of looking around and we came to the conclusion that if we had to fight those animals off this would be an opportune location… you can see for like ever, there's windows going around the second floor that would work great as gun ports if we were attacked" Pepper said looking around the spacious living room.

"Ok first off… there's to be no shooting in or around this house, got it?" Hogan said

"Understood, no shooting" D.J said "John go mine the front yard"

"D.J don't do that to me" Hogan said "my parents would kill me if something happened to this house"

"So we won't hurt the house… understood?" D.J said turning in a 180 to see all of his men who all nodded. "Ok then… meeting in the dining room" D.J said as he started to walk off.

"D.J… if you don't mind could we have the meeting in the living room… that's where Dave always has our family meetings" Brittany said timidly. "Sure" D.J replied "not a problem" then walked over and sat down in the leather armchair, Alvin and Brittany hopped up onto the couch next to Pepper and John while Hogan sat crossed legged on the coffee table.

"Ok… for anybody who didn't notice we happen to be out in the middle of nowhere, the only time you're even gonna think about LA is if you go outside at night and see the western sky glowing a little bit" the lead officer said running his fingers through his hair "Pepper, John… security".

"There's no point in keeping them locked up inside all day, if they wanted to they could go out back just avoid going out front because a very rare passing car could see you" John said

"Ok… the rules" D.J said "neither of you leave the house by yourself; you don't have to go out with each other either, if you go out with Hogan or John that's fine. Like Hogan stated before we don't want the house destroyed, so try to keep it a little calm… and I think that about sums it up".

Alvin nodded "we can live with those rules".

"Just curious but… what landed you two in this mess in the first place?" D.J asked "all Dave told me is that the press won't leave you alone and they could ruin you but my question is why?"

Alvin glanced at Brittany who shrugged "it's very complicated… but the long and the short of it is… we're going to have a baby" Brittany said. D.J nodded silently for a moment, that wasn't the kind of explanation he was looking for but that's what he got, "ok… point noted we'll be careful not to jostle you around too much if we need to transport you" the officer said "about how long do you have left?"

"About two weeks" she replied offering her best estimate, the sergeant nodded "we'll discuss this tomorrow… you two better get to bed". John quickly showed them to their room then returned to the living room.

"Ok… that might complicate things a little bit" D.J said

"Yeah but it could also help things" Pepper said "they won't be as high strung as they usually are which will be to our benefit".

"True but do any of you know how to care for an expecting chipette?" D.J asked

All three men shook their heads, "I guess we should play it by ear" John said, "we're gonna have to… besides I think Alvin will pretty much take care of her it being a natural part of their lives" D.J replied thoughtfully. The others seemed to agree so D.J closed the meeting and dismissed his men to bed.

The night started to pass by without any problems, but suddenly an extremely loud thud and crashing noise broke the nightly silence also jolting Brittany out of sleep. Looking around frantically she heard another loud bang causing her to jump, hopping out of bed she ran right out of her room and into the one across the hall that Hogan, John and Pepper were sleeping in, "Hogan!" she shouted running into the room causing the men to wake up with a start and grab their .45 hand guns they kept within arm's reach at all times, the chipette quickly dived to floor with a scared squeak realizing she had 3 guns pointed at her.

John was the first to lower his gun, "it's just Brittany" he said putting it on the night stand and getting out of bed. "You two go back to bed I've got this" John said then walked over and gently scooped the chipette up in his hands and walked out of the room. "So what's the matter?" he asked, Brittany was about to answer when it came again, 'BANG!' she quickly hopped up onto his shoulder and clung to his neck. Knowing the sound had come from outside he walked into the bathroom and looked out the window "it's just the barn door" he said "I'll run out and close it". Brittany nodded still clinging to his neck, as he went to open the front door he gently picked her up and put her down on the floor, "it's cold out there you're likely to catch anomia or something" he said then opened the door, but Brittany didn't really care, she darted out right behind him without him even noticing.

The Marine walked over and began to shut the door when he heard a loud growling coming from inside, a growl he knew didn't come from one of the farm animals. Instinctively reaching behind himself for his handgun he came up empty, 'great' he thought hesitant to enter the barn in the dark without a weapon. Deciding it would be safer if he went back and got his handgun he took a step backwards but suddenly with an extremely loud roar a giant shadowy form leapt out of the barn at him. The shadowy form was a giant black bear, while it sailed through the air John grabbed the bear's front paws to prevent them from mauling him but the bears weight was too much for him and they both went crashing to the ground.

Brittany stood on the front porch frozen in horror watching this but after they both fell to the ground she darted back inside. The chipette ran as fast as she could up the stairs which right now wasn't very fast, bounding into D.J's room she hopped up onto the bed and started shouting his name. The colonel stirred then woke up "Brittany… what is it?" he asked frantically seeing her state.

"It's John he needs help!" she cried frantically as tears came to her eyes, "where?" D.J asked hopping out of bed.

"The barn" Brittany replied

D.J grabbed his .45 handgun off the night stand and ran right down the stairs and out the open front door. Getting outside he saw his man lying on his back in the snow struggling with the giant bear.

John had his strong grip wrapped around the bear's snout and was trying to push him back when suddenly a loud bang echoed through the area then suddenly the bear stopped struggling and fell right onto of him. "D.J… help" the man said having the air pressed out of him by the several hundred pound bear.

Brittany darted past D.J and ran up to the man "Brittany be careful… it might not be dead" D.J shouted after the chipette. But his warning was too late; suddenly the bears one paw moved to the side and was coming down towards her, to an animal her size with deadly force. But John was quicker; his arm shot out and grabbed the bear's wrist. D.J ran up and fired another shot into the bear's head killing it, with the help of the man trapped underneath D.J was able to pull the bear off of him then helped him to his feet. "Dang you're lucky" D.J said, John nodded "you have no idea" he said turning toward the shivering chipette. Carefully picking her up, John cradled her in his hands, "I hate bears" she whispered steeling on last glance at the fallen beast, "we'll deal with it tomorrow" D.J said gesturing towards the bear as they walked back towards the house. After getting a quick recount of what happened D.J went back to bed and so did the other two as well, Brittany crawled back into bed and laid down in front of Alvin wrapping her arms around him for self-comfort and pretty soon he draped his arms around her while remaining asleep between the physical warmth of the covers and him and the warmth he brought to her heart she was able to fall into a deep relaxing sleep despite the event that had just occurred.
