Jack sat in the garden outside the burrow as he watched Bunny work.
"You know it would go a lot faster if you would let me help," Jack said for what was probably the hundreth time that morning.
"Not on yer nelly," Bunny said as he mixed the some ground herbs together "yer not suppose ta be usin' yer magic unless absolutly nessicary 'member," Bunny reminded.
"Is this payback for changing my mind on the size of the nursery," Jack asked in a whining voice.
"Naw, just a bonus," Bunny said with a smirk. It was enough to earn a playful glare from the winter spirit.
"You're lucky I can't use my magic," Jack huft as he slumped back into his chair. Bunny laughed as his mate pouted.
"Cheer up Tooth should be here in a minute," Bunny said clearly amused by the situation. As if on cue the fairy in question came into view.
"Hey guys," Tooth called as she landed "what are you two up to," she asked when she saw the spellbook and herbs.
"I'm doing nothing while Cottontail over here is working on an extention charm for the nursery," Jack said answering for the both of them.
"Oh," Tooth said curiously "I though you agreed with Bunny that the size it was now would be fine," she asked wondering what had caused him to change his mind.
"I was but the other day when we got back from North's I just started having this feeling that it wouldn't be enough room," Jack explained.
"What kind of feeling," Tooth asked.
"Its just a feeling," Jack answered "its kinda hard to explain. I just feel like it won't be enough room."
"Which is why 'm now working makin' it bigger," grumbled Bunny.
"You said you would be happy with what ever I decided," Jack said happily.
"Yer right, but I'd be happier if ya decide ta 'ave kept it the way it was," Bunny replied.
"Aww quite being a grumpy bunny, Bunny," Jack said still happy with himself.
"Still say there was nothin' wrong with it the way it was," Bunny grumbled.
"Well apparently Jack disagrees," Tooth said reminding them that she was there. Bunny just rolled his eyes. It was obvious he wasn't winning this one.
"What every," Bunny said as he stood "Tooth could ya stay with Jack while I go put the finishing touches on this charm," Bunny asked.
"Sure," Tooth answered as she waved him off.
"So how much bigger will it be," Tooth asked when he was gone "cause you seemed quite determined to leave it the way it was a few months ago."
"I know," Jack answer looking for through some papers before him "here are the new plans" he said showing her the new set of paper. Tooth took them and started to look them over. As she did she raised a questioning brow to Jack.
"Jack are you sure you want to add all of extra space," Tooth question seeing things a little more bettere from Bunny's point of view.
"Yeah," Jack answered simply.
"It just seems to be a bit over kill for two kits," Tooth stated.
"I know but anything smaller than that just felt too small. Like I told Bunny I can't really explain its just..." Jack said trailing off not sure how to phrase it.
"Its okay Jack, the extra space isn't a bad thing," Tooth said placing a comforting hand on his shoulder "beside we more important things to discuss now. Like how you want to fill all that extra space." Tooth said changing the subject. Jack smiled know what she was doing.
"Well I was thinking to use the extra space here for book shelves," Jack explained pointing to a section "and then here can be toys because I can only imagine what North has planned."
The two talked for hours on how they could use the extra space. The plans that they came up with were wonderful. The only promblem was the feeling that kept tell Jack the nursery hadn't been large enough was back. Only this time it was singing a different tune. It kept telling him that the plans where missing something, but for the life of him Jack couldn't figure out why. Not being able to explain this new feeling Jack kept quite.
When Bunny returned the two had to stiffle their laughter. The pooka was covered from head to toe in with dirt from the burrow. Not something unexpected but it was still funny to see.
Not wanting to be the only one at the center of things Bunny pull Jack from his seat close to him. Being careful of his stomach. As he did this the loose soil in Bunny's fur fell landing onto his mate.
"Ya so owe me," Bunny whispered playfully into his ear.
"We'll discuss your payment later," Jack replied in a slightly suductive manner. Though tone did not go unnoticed by the pooka as a smirk fell into place.
"I'll hold ya ta it," Bunny said landing a small kiss on his check. With that he release his hold on the winter spirit turning his attention back to Tooth.
