Alright, new chapter! the title is pretty self explanatory for this one. this isn't the Christmas after the last chapter but the next year after that. Jacob's three and Kristy's one.

Merry Christmas

"The Christmas festivities are really starting in Los Angeles this week. People have been pouring into the stores all weekend. Target was cleaned out yesterday in a matter of hours. Get your Christmas shopping done fast, this won't be getting any better."

"Now for your Christmas favorite, Walking in a Winter Wonderland…"

"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland…"

Bugs was laying across his and Lola's bed watching the news one morning before going to work at Acme Looniversity. It was a week before Christmas, and it was the last day of teaching before winter break although California didn't really get much of a winter.

Lola came over in some panties and a tank top and massaged his shoulders.

"Hey love," Bugs said.

She kissed his cheek. "Enjoying the news?"

Bugs shook his head. "Nah they talk about the same stuff every year. I swear, this is becoming such a commercial holiday."

Lola nodded in agreement. "I agree with you. At least we did our Christmas shopping early."

Bugs turned over to face her chuckling. "If we waited like we did last year we might not get as lucky and end up trampled or get our heads bashed in." That made Lola laugh. She kissed his lips passionately and he surprised her by rolling on top of her. She wrapped her legs around his waist. He ran his hand down her side and up her leg making her shiver slightly out of pleasure. They moaned and caressed each other getting really turned on. He slid his finger into her panties and fingered her making her moan loudly. He took his finger out of her and started to take her underwear off but she stopped him.

"We're gonna be late for work," she said breathlessly.

Bugs didn't want to stop but he knew she was right. He gave her one last kiss. "We'll finish this tonight," he said with a wink.

They got off the bed and went to get dressed. After putting on some clothes and combing her hair she went into Jacob's room and turned the light on. She went over to his bed where he was sleeping soundly and shook him lightly. "Jacob, wake up sweet heart," she said softly.

He opened his eyes halfway then closed them again.

She helped him sit up. "Don't you still want to go to work with mommy and daddy?" He nodded sleepily then yawned. "You have to wake up though." He opened his eyes again. She kissed his nose. "Good job." She helped him get dressed then went into Kristy's room where she was sleeping in her crib. She woke her up which made her cry for a while, then after she was dressed she took them downstairs where Bugs had just finished making breakfast.

"Good morning," Bugs said. He went over and hugged both of his children.

"Good morning daddy," Jacob said.

"Are you hungry?"

Jacob nodded. "Yeah, really hungry."

"Your food is on the table." Bugs picked him up and put him in a chair and Lola put Kristy in her high chair. "Are you having breakfast?" he asked Lola.

"Yeah, I'll be right back though." She left the room.

While Bugs was buttering his toast the phone rang. "Yo," he said after picking it up.

"'Sup rabbit," Daffy said.

"Why are ya calling me this early Daff?"

"You say that like you just woke up."

"I didn't."

"Then why are you complaining. Have I interrupted something between you and Lola?" he asked laughing.

Bugs rolled his eyes and leaned against the counter. "Why does my sex life interest you so much?"

"It's easy to mess with you."

"You're an asshole."

"And you're not?"

Bugs rolled his eyes. "You know, it's a shame that you can't stand to be away from me so much that you call me this early in the morning. I know you love me Daff, but I'm already taken."

Daffy paused for a moment. "Bugs…!"

"Daddy," Jacob said.

"Yeah Jake?"

"My spoon fell on floor."

"Put it in the sink and I'll get you another one." He got Jacob another spoon while Daffy ranted and raved in his ear. "What do you say?" Bugs said to Jacob.

"What are you talking about?" Daffy said.

"Thank you," Jacob said.

Bugs nodded. "Good." He patted Jacob's head.

"Huh? What the hell…?"

Kristy reached her hand out to him. "Dada!"

Bugs took her hand and kissed her forehead. "Hey sweet heart."

"Bugs! Answer me!"

He wiped her mouth and hands then sat next to her and helped her finish her breakfast so she wouldn't make as much of a mess. He held the spoon up to her. "Here, finish eating."

"I'm not eating damn it!"

"Daffy what are you talking about?" Bugs asked confused.

"You called me sweet heart and told me to eat…"

Bugs laughed. "I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to Jacob and Kristy."

"Oh, well you could have told me that!"

"I'll see you at work Daff," Bugs said. He hung up the phone.

Today at Acme Looniversity was the last day of midterm exams. While the students were excited that winter break was the next day and this was their last exam, they were extremely nervous as always. The teacher's actually enjoyed this time because they thought it was funny how they were walking down the hallways with their noses buried in books and sitting in the stairwells crying or clawing at their desks and biting their nails off.

Bugs and Lola had brought Jacob and Kristy to work with them. The students absolutely adored them. Especially the seniors who'd seen them when they were little babies.

It was Bugs last class of the day and he was sitting at his desk with Kristy in his arms feeding her a bottle. All of a sudden she spit it out and started coughing. He patted her back and she stopped. "Don't drink so fast." She took the bottle again and gladly started drinking it.

'Hey Mr. Bunny!" one of his students said as he came in.

"Hey Eddie," Bugs said.

"Is that still your same daughter as before?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't she be?"

"She got so big."

"Babies grow really fast. Didn't you learn that in health class?"

"I failed that class."

Bugs shook his head holding back a laugh. "No wonder."

"Dude, how the hell did you fail health? That class was easy!" Anthony said.

"Watch your language," Bugs said.

"Sorry."

A group of girls came in and started squealing. "Aww she's so cute!" they exclaimed. They went over and started playing with Kristy making her laugh.

The rest of the class came in and the bell rang. "Sit down," Bugs said. He put Kristy in her stroller and took out the tests to pass out.

"Mr. Bunny, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is this test?" Eddie asked.

"About a 7, maybe a 9.5 if you didn't study." Some of the class groaned. "I told you three weeks ago it would be hard. If you didn't study that's your loss." He placed the tests on the desks. "You have the whole period to finish. No cheating or I'll take your test, shred it, and give you a F and you'll fail the semester. For some of you that means failing the year. If everyone finishes before class is over you can hang out until the bell rings, I don't care what you do as long as it's not illegal." He gave out the last test then headed back to his desk. "Oh yeah, no talking."

The class passed by slowly, the only sounds were pencils scribbling on papers, Kristy giggling every once in a while, and Bugs typing. He played with Kristy keeping her entertained and texted Lola and Wile E. After about 40 minutes they started bringing up their papers to him and he stacked them at the corner of his desk. Kristy lay on his chest getting bored and starting to fall asleep.

Soon Bugs noticed people not writing anymore, some with their heads down snoring and others looking off into space. Anthony, who'd had his head tilted back with drool coming out of his mouth, leaned over and fell out of his chair onto the floor but seemed to not notice. Bugs shook his head trying not to laugh. "Is everyone done?"

Those who were awake said "yes", those who were asleep continued snoring.

"Okay, you can talk now."

The class started socializing and complaining about how hard the test was and comparing answers to certain questions. All of the sudden excitement woke Kristy up and she became interested in the class again.

Some of the students came over. "Hi Kristy," Angie said. Kristy waved at her. "Can she talk Mr. Bunny?"

Bugs nodded. "Yeah, a little bit."

"Say my name," Kaylie said. "Say Kaylie."

"Ka-dee?" Kristy said.

"Awww! She said my name you guys!"

"No she didn't," Malik said rolling his eyes.

"Well it was close."

Angie ran her hand through Kristy's blonde hair. "Her hair is so soft and pretty."

Kristy dropped her teething ring on the floor and started crying. Malik picked it up but almost dropped it again. "Why is it so cold?"

Bugs took it and wiped it off. "It makes her mouth feel better. Teething hurts." He gave it back to Kristy and she started sucking on it again.

"Why?"

"Because she's got these teeth breaking through her gums."

"Does she have any teeth yet?" Angie asked.

"Yup." Bugs opened her mouth and showed Kristy's two top front teeth growing in. They'd barely started coming yet but they were there. Kristy tried to bit him but he moved his hand back. "Alright, you don't have to bite me."

The bell rang. "Have a good Christmas break," Bugs said to the students. Angie, Kaylie, and Malik remained playing with Kristy.

A few minutes later Daffy came in. "Is she showing off again?"

Bugs chuckled. "She's always showing off. She knows she's cute so she's trying to get all the attention."

"She is cute, I wish she was my sister," Kaylie said.

"Not when she's crying all night," Bugs said.

"When that happens I'll just give her back to you."

"Thanks a lot."

Malik took out his cell phone and checked his text messages.

"No cell phones in school. You're getting a detention," Daffy said.

"What? Aw c'mon Mr. Duck. It's after school, it doesn't even count. You can't give me a detention. My parents are gonna give away all my Christmas presents if you do…!"

"Would you calm down and learn to take a joke?" Daffy said. Everyone else started laughing.

"That was mean Mr. Duck. That was really mean." He checked his phone again. "I gotta go home, bye."

"Bye," Daffy said.

"Have a good break," Bugs said.

"You too."

Soon Angie and Kaylie left and Bugs made Daffy hold Kristy while he put his stuff away. Kristy threw her teething ring on the floor and started crying.

"Pick it up," Bugs told him while he paper clipped the tests.

Daffy rolled his eyes and picked it up but she put it right back on the floor. Daffy picked it up but she put it on the floor again. He rolled his eyes. "Forget it, it's just going to have to stay there." She started crying. "Hey wait, don't cry. I'll pick it up for you." Daffy picked it up but she threw it on the floor. He was starting to get frustrated. "Bugs, I can't do this anymore. Take your daughter before she gives me a migraine."

Bugs took Kristy and rocked her. "How do you expect to ever raise a child if you can't even hold mine for two minutes?"

Daffy sat on Bugs' desk. "Easy, I'm not having any children."

Bugs put Kristy in her stroller. "If you ever do, I hope they look like Melissa."

"Hey!"

Bugs shrugged. "Just saying." He bent down in front of Kristy. "You wanna go see your mom and your brother?"

"Mama?"

Bugs chuckled. "Yup. I know you've missed her. She's right down the hallway." He got his stuff then pushed Kristy's stroller out of the classroom with Daffy close behind. Daffy was silent while they were walking and Bugs found this to be very unusual. "You know, it's not very often that you're this quiet."

"So."

"I know you want to say something, go ahead and say it while we're alone. I'm all ears."

Daffy sighed deciding Bugs wouldn't let this go. "I was just thinking how you're a pretty good father. You're the last person I would have expected to have gotten married and stayed with her long enough to have children with her and…I'm proud of you."

Bugs let that sink in. He thought it was sweet that Daffy of all people would say something like that, but he knew he had to make a snide comment about it. "You sounded like my dad when you said that, it's creepy."

Daffy elbowed him. "I'm serious rabbit! Most men just up and leave their families by now."

"And those guys are some damn fools."

"Well the way you treat them, you're a good guy for it."

"I guess this is the last time I should expect a compliment from you for the next three years, so I'll say thank you."

"Do you have any other attitude besides sarcasm? It gets old."

"That thank you was serious. But what brought on these compliments all of a sudden?"

Daffy shrugged. "I don't know. I just felt like it needed to be said. I guess you deserve some kind of gratitude."

"It's not father's day though."

"It doesn't need to be."

"True. Thanks Daffy, honestly."

"You're welcome."

They got to the gym and found Lola sitting on the bleachers with Jacob sitting next to her holding a basketball and a few students near them.

"He's gonna be a basketball player, just like his mom," Lola said.

"Does he play a lot?" Danny asked.

Lola nodded. "Yeah he does."

Nyrie ran her finger across his ear. "Why are his ears so long?"

"They're not that long," Amara said.

Lola laughed. "He just hasn't grown into them yet, right Jake?"

Jacob nodded. "Right. Mommy I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Cookies."

"You'll have to wait until we get home. You ate all the ones I brought." Jacob pouted. She kissed his forehead.

Bugs sat next to her surprising her. "I'm hungry too Lola."

Lola smirked. "And what do you want Bugs?"

"Cookies."

The students started laughing. "Mr. Bunny that was wrong!"

"What?" Bugs said innocently. "I meant chocolate chip cookies."

That made them laugh harder.

Bugs shook his head. "Kids today are perverts."

Jacob sat on his lap. "Hi daddy."

Bugs hugged him. "Hey kiddo. How are ya?"

"Hungry. Can we go home and get cookies?"

Bugs chuckled. "Alright. Cookies it is."

One Christmas Eve, Lola was in the kitchen with Jacob and Kristy taking out some groceries that she'd just bought.

"What's that?" Jacob asked as she took stuff out.

"Eggnog," Lola replied. "Do you want to put it in the refrigerator for me?" Jacob nodded eager to help her and she handed it to him. Kristy picked up the cookies. "You want one?" Lola asked. She nodded and said a baby version of "Yes".

"Mommy I want one," Jacob said climbing back onto the chair.

"Do you want the Christmas tree one, or Santa Claus, or the elf?"

"Santa." Lola gave him the red Santa cookie.

After putting everything away, they all went into the family room. Jacob sat in front of the Christmas tree and Kristy crawled over and sat next to him. "Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Can I open it?" he asked holding up a box covered in green and red wrapping paper.

"No, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Because tomorrow's Christmas. You can only open them on Christmas day. That one isn't yours anyway. It's Kristy's."

Kristy took the box from him and prepared to rip into it.

"Kristy!" Lola said. She stopped and looked at her. "Don't open it yet."

Jacob took it back and put it under the tree. "You gotta wait for Christmas."

Bugs came in. "You two trying to open your presents early or something?"

Kristy came over to him. "Daddy!"

Bugs picked her up and hugged her. "Hey sweet heart."

"Can I open one daddy?" Jacob asked.

"Not yet." Jacob pouted. "Come on, you've only got…" he looked at the clock. A good ten hours or so. And it'll seem a lot shorter when you go to sleep."

"I wanna open it now." Bugs picked him up. "I know you do." He brought them over to the couch with him and sat down next to Lola who was munching on a candy cane. "Is it good?" Bugs asked laughing.

"Your lips taste better." She kissed him.

"Mmm, minty."

"Let's watch Rudolph or something," Lola said. She looked around for the remote. "Do you know where the remote is?"

They saw Kristy with the remote in her mouth. Bugs took it out and gave her something else to chew on. Then they watched Christmas specials until Jacob and Kristy got tired. They took them upstairs to put them to bed.

"Daddy," Jacob said as Bugs was tucking him in. "I'm not sleepy."

"Ya know, Santa Claus doesn't come unless you're asleep," Bugs said.

"He doesn't?"

"Nope. So if you want more presents, then you've got to go to sleep okay?"

"Okay."

"Good night." Bugs turned his light off then went downstairs with Lola. They took out the rest of Jacob and Kristy's presents to finish wrapping them.

"I remember when I believed in Santa Claus. Good old innocent childhood," Lola said.

"I didn't believe it for that long. I figured it all out by the time I was in second grade," Bugs said. "Same with the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy."

"You had a pretty short childhood didn't you?" Lola teased.

Bugs pushed her arm. "No, I was just practical."

"A practical seven year old huh? Yeah, short childhood." She rested her head on his shoulder. "What did you get me?"

"Lola, how long have we been together?"

"Eight years," Lola said wondering what he was getting at.

"And every year when you ask me that question, what do I say?"

"I was hoping you'd slip up this year and tell me."

Bugs laughed and kissed her. "Not this time."

They heard the phone ring and Lola got it off the coffee table. "Hello?"

"Where the hell is Bugs?" Daffy said.

Lola raised her eyebrow. "He's right here. Why are you so rude? I don't get at least a 'hi' or a 'how are you'?"

"Fine, hi. Ask Bugs what he got me."

Lola rolled her eyes. "Daffy wants to know what you got him."

"Tell him I said go fuck yourself."

Lola giggled. "Bugs said go fuck yourself."

"Tell him he's a bastard."

Lola looked at Bugs. "He said…"

"I heard him. Give me the phone." Lola gave him the phone. "Daffy, you are an asshole, and for the record I didn't get you anything."

"I don't believe that."

"Oh yeah? Well when you don't get anything from me tomorrow you'll believe me."

Daffy paused trying to think of a good come back. "Well fine then. I didn't get anything for you either!"

Lola finished wrapping her last present and got up. "I'll be right back Bugs."

Bugs nodded at her as she left the room. "So what time are you coming over tomorrow?"

"I don't know. I'll surprise you."

"Please don't come over freaking early like you did last year."

"Look, I live with Melissa. She got me out of the bed and dragged me over there."

Bugs laughed. "Daff, you're such a pushover."

"If Lola had done that to you, would you have said no?"

"Yeah, I'd worry about getting my ass kicked later." He heard music in the background. "What are you listening to?"

"Alicia Keys. I just got her new CD, Diary of Alicia Keys. It's pretty good."

Bugs shook his head and laughed. Daffy's favorite kind of music was rock, but his true favorite singer was Alicia Keys. "I worry about you sometimes. Were you dropped on your head as a baby?"

"Shut up Bugs."

Bugs laughed. "What? That was a legit question!"

"Bugsy," Lola said.

He looked up and almost dropped the phone when he saw her in a red bra and thong with white lace around it and a garter that said "Sexy Santa" around it. "I gotta go Daffy."

"No, you have to talk to me…!"

Bugs put down the phone and shoved the presents under the tree and went over to her. "You look hot," he said putting his arms around her.

"This is your early Christmas present," Lola said. She kissed his lips passionately then led him upstairs to their bedroom.

Lola woke up early the next morning in Bugs' arms. She was tempted to go right back to sleep but it was Christmas and she was dying to know what Bugs got her. She felt Bugs stir next to her and yawn. She looked at his face and he opened his eyes. "Merry Christmas."

Bugs smiled. "Merry Christmas Lo. I loved your present last night."

Lola giggled. "I'm glad you did. I loved it too." She kissed his lips. "You want to wake the kids up now?"

"Maybe in a few minutes. There's something I want to do first," he said with a smirk. He rolled on top of her kissing her and caressing her. "I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed again. She held him close to her and kissed him deeper. His tongue went into her mouth and she gripped onto him craving his sexy taste. His hands moved up and down her back feeling all of her curves then his hand slid down her leg then back up to grab her butt which was only covered by her purple panties. She moaned into his mouth with pure desire flowing through her body. All of a sudden she rolled on top of him and kissed him hard. They broke off for a moment breathing heavily.

"We should stay like this all day," Lola said.

Bugs nodded with a sly smirk on his face. "That would be the perfect Christmas." He pulled her face to his again and they resumed their deep passionate kissing. She felt his hand slide down her back and massage her butt and she kissed him harder wanting his love so badly. She slid her hand up his chest feeling all of his abs and muscles. She could practically feel him inside of her thrusting in and out and the mere thought of it was enough to turn her on.

But then they heard Kristy cry and they were interrupted. They got up to get dressed. Bugs but on some boxers and a t shirt and Lola put on a tank top and some shorts. Bugs went into Jacob's room and Lola went into Kristy's room.

"Jake, wake up," Bugs said shaking him lightly.

Jacob opened his eyes. "Present time?"

Bugs nodded. "Yup, you finally get top open them."

Jacob got out of the bed and followed Bugs downstairs with Lola carrying Kristy close behind them. Once they got downstairs, they tore into their presents.

Lola opened her present from Bugs. It was a set of Gucci perfumes and body washes and bath salts. She hugged him tightly and kissed his lips. "Bugsy you're the best!"

Kristy tapped Bugs arm. "Daddy."

Bugs looked down and saw Jacob with a remote control car and Kristy with a baby doll. "Open."

"Open all your other presents first, and then I'll take them out."

"Okay."

Then the doorbell rang. Bugs got up to get it.

"Who do you think it is?" Lola asked.

Bugs shrugged. "I say Daff and Melissa."

Lola shook her head. "Probably Sylvester and Sylvia."

"Grandma!" Jacob said.

"We'll see." Bugs went to answer the door.

"Hi big brother," his short sister Alana said.

"'Sup brat."

Alana crossed her arms. "I should take back your present ya jerk."

"I've already taken yours back to the store. I decided you didn't deserve it last week."

Alana pushed his arm. "You're mean!"

"Are you here alone? Or did mom and them come with you?"

"Mom and Lena are here. Sherri's spending the holidays with Marcus." Marcus was Sherri's fiancé. After her violent relationship with her last husband Mark years ago, she'd finally found a man who was good to her.

"Darn, I'd rather her be here than you and Lena."

Alana rolled her eyes. "Shut up. I'm glad she's with him, he's actually nice."

"Yeah, I probably won't have to get my hands dirty this time."

Marianna came over to them. "Hi Bugs, so good to see you again," she said hugging him.

He hugged her back. "You too mom." He and Lena Marie gave each other a look. "Lena Marie."

She crossed her arms. "Bugs." They gave each other the evil eye for a moment. "Look, I'm not here because I wanted to come, mom made me."

"Nonsense Lena Marie, you said you wanted to see him and his family again," Marianna said.

Lena Marie glared at Marianna. "Mom!"

"Come on inside," Bugs said. He closed the door behind them and they went into the living room and said hi to Jacob and Kristy and Lola. They exchanged their presents and Jacob and Kristy tore into them eagerly. They were now surrounded by a bunch of toys. Bugs sat down next to them and started to take them out of the boxes for them but they weren't as easy as he thought they'd be. "Do you guys remember when this stuff used to be easy to take out?"

"I remember it," Lena Marie said. "All you had to do was rip off some tape and you were done."

"Do you need some help Bugsy?" Lola asked.

Bug shook his head. "I think I've got it." He managed to get out one of Kristy's dolls. He handed it to her. "Here ya go. Say thank you."

"Tank yoo," Kristy said.

He started working on Jacob's remote control car. "Lola, can you get me some bigger scissors…and maybe a chain saw?"

"It's that bad?" Bugs showed it to her. "How do they expect you to play with these toys if you can't take them out?" She got up and went to go get scissors for him. Before she came back in the doorbell rang.

Melissa reached out and gave her a hug. "Merry Christmas Lola!"

Lola hugged her back. "You too girl." Her and Daffy gave each other the same look Bugs and Lena Marie had given each other. "Daffy."

"Lola."

"Ow!"

They went into the living room and saw Bugs shaking his hand in pain and Marianna examining it.

"What happened to you?" Lola asked kneeling next to him. There was a big cut on his finger and blood was pouring from it.

"I cut my finger trying to open this damn toy."

"You okay daddy?" Jacob asked.

Bugs nodded. "I'll be alright kiddo."

"I'll get you a band aid," Lola said getting back up.

"Geez Bugs, I thought you were tougher than that. Why are you letting little toys beat you up?" Daffy teased.

Bugs glared at him. "I wanna see you try to open all this shit without hurting yourself." Marianna slapped his arm. "What was that for?"

"Watch your language, there's children in the room. You can't be swearing around your children like that!"

"Sorry, it slips out sometimes."

Lola came back in the room and put the band aid on him. "Feel better?"

"Yes," he kissed her. "Thanks doll."

She glared at him. "Stop calling me doll."

"Why don't you like people to call you doll?" Alana asked.

Melissa giggled. "Because Bugs wouldn't shut up about it when they were making Space Jam."

"He was teasing me nonstop about that line and I just got tired of it. I can't take it anymore," Lola said.

"So it's Bugs' fault?" Alana said. "Like everything else?"

Lola nodded. "Pretty much, yeah."

"I wasn't trying to piss you off, it's just…yeah I was trying to piss you off. I love you though."

"So Bugs, where's my present?" Daffy asked.

"I told you, I didn't get you one," Bugs replied.

"I know you did, where is it?"

"Look under the tree, I did not get you one Daff."

Daffy searched through all of the presents under the tree. He crawled completely under their giant Christmas tree and couldn't find one with his name on it. There were presents for Sylvester, Wile E, Melissa, Miranda, Sylvia, Jr, Tyler and Brandon, but none for him. Then he found one. "Ha!" He came out and triumphantly held up a present. "This one has my name on it!" he said shoving it in Bugs' face.

"That's from Lola," Bugs said pushing him out of the way.

Daffy looked at the label and frowned seeing Bugs was right.

"You're welcome," Lola said.

"Thanks Lola. I know you got me one too Bugs! Where is it?"

Bugs laughed. "I'm telling you Daffy, I didn't get you one."

Daffy sat on the couch next to Melissa and pouted. "Fuck you then."

"I swear, I am going to wash all of your mouths out with soap if I hear anymore profanity!" Marianna exclaimed.

Ding! Dong!

Lola got up to get the door and it was Lisa, Miranda, Max, her brother's Tyler and Brandon, and Tyler's girlfriend Angie. "Hi you guys. Hi Angie."

Miranda hugged her tightly. "Guess what Lola! Guess what! You're not guessing! Seriously, guess what!"

Lola pushed her off. "Okay, stop screaming at me. What, did you get a new purse at the mall or something?"

"I didn't buy it myself," she held up a blue purse. "Brandon bought it for me. But that's not it, guess!"

"What?"

Miranda started squealing. "You tell her Max, I can't!"

"We're getting married," Max said.

Miranda showed Lola her engagement ring. "See! Isn't it pretty? He proposed to me yesterday."

Lola looked back and forth between them shocked. When she had unintentionally set them up the last thing she expected was for them to get married. "Wow…I'm so happy for you."

"And I want you to be my maid of honor!"

"Of course I will."

"Can you believe she's getting married?" Brandon said.

Lola giggled. "I know. Miranda of all people."

"I feel left out. My little brother, my little sister, and my little cousin got married before me. Angie, let's get married tomorrow," Tyler said.

"But i don't have a dress," Angie said.

"You don't need a dress. We'll walk into the church, say i do, and we'll be married."

"Tyler you can't take the dress and fancy stuff with a lot of guests away from a woman," Lola said.

"Yeah, i've been planning my wedding since second grade. It has to be huge."

Tyler pouted. "Fine."

Brandon elbowed him. "You should have met Angie a long time ago bro."

"Shut up."

Later that afternoon Sylvester, Sylvia, Jr, Carlton, and Wile E had arrived and given their presents to everyone. Right now Lola, Alana, Miranda, Melissa, and Lena Marie were in the living room talking while Jacob ran past every few seconds chasing Kristy around with his car.

"How do you put up with this?" Alana asked.

Lola took a sip of her wine. "They've been running around like this ever since Kristy learned how to walk. The only difference is now they've got a car to annoy me with."

Melissa laughed at that. "Let me see the stuff Bugsy bought you." Lola handed it to her and she smelled all of it. "Wow, this is amazing. This stuff is really expensive though."

Lena Marie rolled her eyes. "Please, Bugs has enough money to buy the world if he wanted to. A couple hundred dollars won't make that much of a difference to him."

"Are you still loaded from playing basketball, Lola?" Miranda asked.

Lola nodded. "Yeah, I made millions of bucks on that. There's still a lot left."

Melissa leaned back on the couch. "You should get back into it. You were really good."

Lola shook her head. "I can't right now." She glanced at Jacob and Kristy as they ran past again. "I have other things to worry about."

All of a sudden Kristy fell. She looked at Lola to make sure she was watching then started crying.

Lola rolled her eyes knowing she was faking. "Kristy, you're not hurt. Get up." She continued crying. Lola went over and picked her up and brought her over to the couch. Then she stopped crying and hugged her, "Was that really necessary?" Kristy just smiled innocently. "You want to go play with your brother again?" Kristy nodded and Lola took her off her lap and she went to go find Jacob.

"You're so sweet," Miranda said.

"You know, you and Max should have babies. I wanna know what they're going t look like. And how you're gonna react to it. 'Oh no, I just had a baby and I don't know what to do. Lola, help me!' And do you know what I'll say?"

Miranda glared at her. "What?"

"Hell no!"

Lena Marie rolled her eyes. "Ugh, Lola you're so not funny."

"At least I have a personality. One that doesn't involve going around being an asshole and acting like I'm better than everyone. You should work on that."

Alana started laughing and Lena Marie glared at her. Alana shrugged. "What? C'mon Lena, you've gotta admit she was spot on with that!"

Lena continued to glare at her. Then she got up and left.

Lola looked at Alana. "Why does she hate me?"

"Aw Lola, she doesn't hate you. She just dislikes you a whole lot."

"But why?"

Alana shrugged. "Lena Marie doesn't like a lot of people. Or maybe se does, she just won't show it. She loves Bugs a lot but she never shows it."

Lola raised her eyebrow. "She actually cares about Bugs?"

"Oh yeah. You know how she's always hugging Carlton? She'd do that to Bugs if she didn't have so much pride. So she'd probably treat you like she does me and Sherrice if she wasn't so stubborn."

Lola thought about that. She could relate to that. She cared for Miranda a lot but she was alway teasing her. And to be honest she really loved her mother, but the woman was just so difficult she rebelled against her. Even still, she wouldn't stop trying to make Lena Marie at least act like she respects her.

Bugs was in the kitchen making his world famous pasta salad for dinner. Carlton was leaning against the counter, and Max was sitting at the kitchen table. "So, you're marrying Miranda?" Bugs said.

Max nodded. "Yup. How is it being married?"

"Dude, being married is the shit," Carlton said.

Bugs took a bite of his carrot. "You get to have sex every night."

Carlton rolled his eyes. "Bugs is just horny, you don't have sex every night."

Bugs glared at him. "You think I'm horny?"

"You've always been horny! I remember when you were like, 25 every time I turned around you were in the papers for some sex scandal. I mean every few weeks you were spotted at the bar with a different girl and you even got with Whitney Houston! Nothing's changed, you're still horny!"

"You are too!"

"Bugs, I was never a player like you were and you know it."

Bugs rolled his eyes. "Anyway, don't make a woman mad Max, you'll regret it."

"Are you gonna have children?" Carlton asked.

Max shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not even married yet you guys! I haven't thought about kids."

"So? Bugs knocked Lola up long before they got married," Carlton said with a shrug.

Max raised his eyebrow. "You did? Shouldn't you have three children then?"

Bugs shook his head. "Miscarriage."

"Listen Max, as long as you treat Miranda right and do everything the opposite of what Bugs has done all these years, you'll do fine," Carlton said.

Bugs glared at Carlton. "The opposite of what I've done? Are you trying to say I'm a bad husband? I'm not that guy anymore! I don't cheat on Lola, or stay up late drinking, and I'll have you know I take good care of my children…!"

"Would you calm down? I was joking."

Daffy came in and sat down next to Max.

"What's your problem?" Max asked.

"I know Bugs got me a present. I've searched this whole house and I can't find it."

"Daffy come on, you're this depressed because I didn't get you a present? You got presents from everyone else," Bugs said.

"I'm not depressed because you didn't get me anything. I'm depressed because I can't prove you wrong."

Carlton shook his head at them. "Daff, it's one gift. Get over it."

Bugs looked at Daffy. "What a second. You said you searched my house. Where exactly did you look?"

"The laundry room, all over the basement, the attic, the garage, your room…"

"Whoa wait a second! You searched my room?" Bugs exclaimed.

Daffy nodded. "Yeah. You've got a lot of condoms in there. And why are your clothes all over the floor? I thought you were a neat freak. I almost tripped on Lola's bra…"

"What size does Lola wear?" Carlton asked.

Bugs raised his eyebrow. "Um, 32C…why?"

Carlton shrugged. "Elise's are bigger. She wear 34C."

"Melissa's are bigger than both of theirs," Daffy said.

"That doesn't count, she had breast implants," Bugs said.

"She does?" Max said.

"You'd be surprised how much plastic surgery she has."

"She has botox, doesn't she?" Carlton asked.

"And butt implants," Bugs said. "I'm surprised she can move her face."

Daffy glared at him. "Stop insulting my wife."

Jr came in. "Hey Daffy, i found your present. it's in the gallery."

Daffy jumped up. "Ha! I told you so Bugs!" He ran out of the room.

Carlton looked at Jr and crossed his arms. "So where's the real present Jr?"

Jr shrugged. "I don't know. But this is pretty funny."

Bugs nodded his approval. "I've taught you well kid."

Daffy came back in looking mad. "All of you are despicable."

It was after eleven o clock that night. They were all sitting around the living room either eating or watching TV or sitting around the coffee table playing spades. The game won with Bugs being the inevitable winner and Sylvester coming close behind him.

Wile E shuffled the cards. "We're doing a rematch."

Bugs heard Jacob, who was sitting on his lap half asleep, yawn. "Are you getting tired?"

Jacob nodded. "Yeah."

"Ready for bed?"

He shook his head stubbornly. "No."

"Yeah you are, come on." He picked him up. He turned to the guys. "Don't start without me." He noticed Kristy sleeping in Lola's arms. "Lo, you want me to take her upstairs?"

"I've got her. I was about to put her to bed anyway." She picked up Kristy and they took them upstairs and put them to bed.

"I can't believe Bugs didn't get me a present. I got him one, why didn't I get one?" Daffy said.

"You're still on this?" Sylvester asked. "Give it a rest. It's just a present."

"It's not like he's obligated to give you a present every year," Wile E said starting to deal out the cards.

"But I got him one!"

Wile E rolled his eyes. "I give up."

Bugs and Lola came back in. "Daff," Bugs said.

Daffy looked up. "What do you want? I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Stop being all butt hurt and take this." He tossed Daffy a present.

Daffy looked between the present and Bugs. "You bastard!" he exclaimed.

"Wait, you had a present for him all this time?" Melissa asked.

Bugs nodded. "I bought it two weeks ago."

Alana laughed. "Bugs Bunny you are mean!"

"You jerk!" Daffy exclaimed.

"Look, be glad I decided to give it to you and not keep it for myself. A simple thank you would suffice."

Daffy glared at him for a moment. "Thank you," he said through his teeth.

"You're welcome duck." He resumed his place at the table. "Are we gonna finish this game or what?"

Long chapter, much longer than i intended it to be. but so far in this story i've left out a lot of character's i had in the first one (i.e Lena Marie, Alana, Marianna, Brandon, Jr) and i needed some way to bring them together in one place. and this was the one way to do it smoothly.
