Five Years Later
Arianna stood on the stool trying to get the jar of cookies that Rabbit had put away. Rabbit came in from the garden and dropped his garden shovel.
" Arianna! I said no cookies before dinner young lady." Rabbit scolded and Arianna had her hand in the cookie jar
Rabbit went over to Arianna grabbing her hand from the cookie jar. Arianna's ears dropped when her father grabbed her little hand and she looked at Rabbit with her green eyes.
" Dada." Arianna said trying to look cute to get out of trouble and Rabbit kept his stern face
" Nice try Arianna. When I tell you no, it means no. I'm highly disappointed in you young lady." Rabbit said scolding Arianna and Arianna looked down
Rabbit lead Arianna to the corner and sat her on a stool. Arianna looked at her father and reached up for him. Rabbit looked at her sternly.
" No Arianna you disobeyed me so I'm giving you a time out." Rabbit said sternly and Arianna's lip trembles
" Daddy..." Arianna said sniffing and Rabbit pointed to the corner
Arianna faced the corner and sniffs. Rabbit stood his ground even though it was tough to punish his little girl. Rabbit looked at the clock and decided to cook while she was in time out.
After a while Rabbit turned to Arianna while cooking. Arianna was still in the corner and Rabbit went to Arianna.
" Arianna come to daddy." Rabbit spoke softy and Arianna went to Rabbit with tears
Rabbit picked up Arianna and Rabbit held Arianna close to him rubbing Arianna's back. After Arianna calmed down Rabbit looked at Arianna and Rabbit still looked stern.
" Arianna when I say no cookie's it means no, ok?" Rabbit said looking at Arianna and Arianna nodded
" Yes daddy. I'm sorry." Arianna said looking at Rabbit and Rabbit hugged Arianna
Arianna snuggles into Rabbit. Rabbit smiled softy and Rabbit took Arianna to her chair. Arianna looked at Rabbit smiling and Rabbit set her down. Rabbit served the carrots and Arianna ate.
Rabbit ate with Arianna and then gave Arianna a cookie. Arianna nibbled the cookie and Rabbit smiled at Arianna. After dinner Rabbit went outside with Arianna so she could play.
Tigger bounced towards Rabbit and stopped instead of pouncing Rabbit. Arianna looked at Tigger and smiled.
" Hi Tigger!" Arianna said happily and Tigger picked her up
" Heya Aria!" Tigger said tossing Arianna in the air and Rabbit's eyes widen
Rabbit immediately took Arianna from Tigger and Rabbit glared at Tigger while holding Arianna close to his chest.
" Don't do that! She just ate!" Rabbit yelled at Tigger and Tigger frowned
" Sorry Bunny boy." Tigger apologized and Rabbit scowled at Tigger
As Rabbit and Tigger fought. Arianna walked away from Rabbit, Arianna was following a butterfly. Rabbit looked around and Rabbit saw Arianna is gone.
" Arianna?... ARIANNA!? Tigger! find my baby!" Rabbit said worried and looking around in a panic
Tigger looked around for Arianna. Arianna was chasing a butterfly and bumped into something. Arianna looked up to see her stern father's face.
" Daddy!" Arianna said happily and Rabbit had his hands on his hips
" Do you have any idea how much trouble your in?" Rabbit asked Arianna and Arianna frowned
Arianna's lip trembles and Rabbit picked up Arianna. Rabbit turned towards Tigger and Tigger looked at Arianna.
" Goodbye Tigger I must teach my daughter a lesson about scaring me." Rabbit said walking away and Arianna sniffed and Tigger frowned
Rabbit took Arianna home and Rabbit set Arianna down. Arianna looked at Rabbit with tears and Rabbit tapped his foot. Rabbit pointed to Arianna's room and Arianna went to her room.
Rabbit sighed he knew Arianna had to be punished for running away from him and scaring him. But this was his little girl and he loved her so much. He knew it had to be done and Rabbit went to Arianna's room.
Rabbit saw Arianna on her bed and Rabbit sat next to Arianna. Arianna looked up at Rabbit and Rabbit sighed.
" Arianna do you know how much you worried me? I thought I lost you." Rabbit said looking at Arianna and Arianna sniffed
Arianna started to cry and Rabbit sighed. This punishment would be hard because she was already crying. Rabbit rubbed Arianna's little back and Rabbit sighed.
" Arianna, daddy's gonna have to spank you." Rabbit said looking at Arianna and Arianna shook her head no." Yes Arianna you've been a very bad girl young la ow! Arianna did you just bite me young lady?!" Rabbit said as Arianna bit him and Rabbit looked at her shocked
Rabbit picked up Arianna he was mad that she bit him, he laid Arianna across his lap and he raised his hand. Rabbit felt his heart drop before he even started but she had to learn. He started the spanking and Arianna was crying loudly.
" Dada! stop!" Arianna cried as Rabbit spanked her and Rabbit shook his head
" No Arianna I could of lost you on top of that you bit me. I could of just spanked you for running away from me and worrying me now I have to spank you more for biting me. We do not bite do you hear me Arianna?" Rabbit said lecturing her as he spanked her and Arianna held down on his lap
Arianna cried out more as Rabbit was spanking her and Rabbit really felt his heart clutch at this. He didn't want to do this. He just wanted to hug her and hold her. But she really has been bad and he needed to teach her. Sometimes parenting was hard and Rabbit looked at Arianna.
" Y..yes daddy." Arianna sobbed trembling and Rabbit stopped spanking her
Rabbit hugged Arianna close to his chest rubbing her little back and finally he let his tears go down his face. Rabbit hummed holding his little girl close.
" Shhhh, it's ok I forgive you. Daddy forgives you." Rabbit said gently looking at Arianna and Arianna clinged to him
" I'm sorry daddy." Arianna sobbed more and Rabbit kissed Arianna's cheek
Rabbit finally got Arianna to calm down after an hour went by. Rabbit gently laid Arianna in her toddler bed and covered her up.
" My little girl." Rabbit said softy and Rabbit smiled softy as Arianna was asleep
Rabbit left Arianna's room and Rabbit sighed as he sat on his chair. Parenting was no joke but if he had the choice. Rabbit would do it again and that was because Rabbit loved his daughter.
