KatyChan: Okay look guys, I'm sorry, but the rest of the fic's gonna seem kinda rushed. I just don't have time to work on it anymore, now that my sis has the computer during the morning, and I really only have like an hour before she wakes up to use it. I'd do it at night but I'm never in the mood. Oh yeah, and FF.Net was being a real pain in the you-know-what, and I couldn't download any documents. But I finally could, so here's the next chappie….rushed, like I said before. (Eh, go ahead and flame me, I dun care, I'm just glad you at least read it -_-;;;)



Memories In A Locket: Chapter 3

"So neither Panda or Pashmina are gonna be coming in for the next few days?" Boss asked Penelope, who shook her head.

"I'm gonna take care of Penelope for Pashmina," Cappy said. "And so will Sandy and Bijou."

"Ookyoo!" Penleope said smiling brightly.

Hamtaro then came walking in, his eyes were wide and his face looked a bit pale. Boss ran up to him, "Hamtaro, what's wrong? You look pale."

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious," Dexter said sarcastically.

"It's Bijou…she…she," Hamtaro began.

"She what? Spill it out! What's wrong with Bijou?!" Boss said, acting a little too dramatic.

"She…she's…pregnant…" Hamtaro finally finished.

"Hamtaro that's wonderful!" Boss said happily.

"Yeah, congrats Red," Stan said, while shaking his maracas. "I knew you two love birds were up to something."

"Oh, that's like, so cool!" Sandy exclaimed. "But why are you like, so down?" She asked the pale Hamtaro.

"I'm just so surprised…" He answered, still pale as ever.

"It was bound to happen…zuzuzu…" Snoozer said sleepily.

The weeks went by quickly, like days. Pashmina and Panda soon started coming to the clubhouse with Samantha, but almost every night, Sandy sat in her cage, suffering horrible pain and seeing unexplainable things. Maxwell would sit in his cage at night flipping through his books, trying to find an answer as to what was wrong with Sandy. As for Hamtaro and Bijou, they spent a lot of time planning for their baby. Then one day…

"AAAAAHHHH!" Bijou yelled at the top of her lungs. "ZE PAIN!" Unfortunate for Bijou, she couldn't leave the clubhouse.

"Bijou you have to push!" Hamtaro yelled at her.

"I CAN'T!!! IT IZ TOO PAINFUL!!!" Bijou kept yelling.

"Alright, here we go!" Boss said as he, Dexter, Maxwell, and Panda ran into the room to help Bijou. They shut the door behind them.

"Poor Bijou," Pashmina said sadly, holding her baby.

"Panda knows what he's doing, right?" Sandy said, a bit scared for Bijou.

"Yeah, of course. He was there when I went through it, and Maxwell and Dexter both know what they're doing too. And I'm sure Boss knows what he's doing also," Pashmina said, with the least bit of concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I like, guess you're right," Sandy said. Both girls flinched as the heard yet another high pitched scream from Bijou.

"Glad I'm not a girl…that sounds too painful for me to handle," Cappy said, hiding under his cap and Bijou screamed again.

"Kwee, ookwee?" Penelope asked Pashmina.

"Of course it was like that Samantha was being born," Pashmina said to the little girl ham, smiling. "You know…I think she's gonna look a lot like Panda, she's got some black spots already," Pashmina said, looking at Sandy. Penelope nodded.

"Yeah, I like, think you're right," Sandy said, looking at the baby.

"Want to hold her Sandy?" Pashmina asked.

"Sure," said Sandy, as she carefully took Samantha from her mother's arms. She whimpered a little, noticing that she was in a stranger's arms and not her mother's or father's. "Uh…Pashmina, I think she like, wants you."

"It's alright, she's just not used to you." Pashmina told her.

Sandy sat down and rocked Samantha back and forth , the little ham smiled at her. "Aw…she's so cute, she like, smiled at me."



"She likes you," Pashmina said, smiling at Sandy. "You know, you'd make a pretty good mother Sandy. I mean, Samantha doesn't take to strangers so easily."

"Oh…well…thanks," Sandy said, blushing at the compliment. She got up and put the baby in her crib, which Panda had built, and she began to fall asleep.

After about an hour Sandy and Pashmina heard Panda's voice coming from inside the room, "A boy! It's a boy!!! Congratulations Bijou!!!!" They both got and ran into the room. Inside they saw Bijou holding her newborn baby in her arms, tears of joy flowing down her cheeks.

"Bijou, congratulations girl!" Sandy said, smiling widely at her friend.

"What are you gonna name him?" Pashmina asked her.

"Shin," Bijou said.

Hamtaro made a face, "Shin?"

Bijou nodded, "Oui, it means heart (in Japenese)." (thank you burnfist for the really cool name!^^) Hamtaro smiled at Bijou, and she smiled back. Maxwell held Sandy's paw as everyone else congratulated Bijou and Hamtaro.

"This field of flowers is beautiful and so big…like, it goes on for miles and never ends," Sandy said in awe, staring at the great beauty in front of her, a huge field of flowers.

"Yeah I know," Maxwell said. "I wanted to show it to you, seeing as it always reminded me of you."

Sandy blushed at the compliment, "You know what else goes on for miles and miles, and never ends?"

Maxwell looked at her, "What?"

"Our love," Sandy responded, picking one of the flowers. Maxwell took it from her paw gently and placed it in her fur.

"You're right…it's going to last forever, no matter what," He said to her romantically. "This can be our little secret, no one else knows about this place."

"Alright, it's our secret," Sandy said smiling warmly at Maxwell. He smiled back.

*****

"If I had a baby girl, I'd name her Star," Sandy told Maxwell. "I just love the stars, they're like, so pretty."

"Yeah," Maxwell agreed, "and Star's a nice name for a girl." Maxwell then looked over at Sandy, "Oh Sandy." He called.



"Hm?" She turned to him, and before she could say anything, Maxwell had lifted her up and ran from the windowsill and into her cage. She giggled, "You're like, so strong Maxy," She said, making him blush. She then sat down in her cage floor, and gazed at the sky. Hilary wasn't going to be home until morning, so Maxwell decided to stick around for a while, and his owners had already gone to sleep. He sat down behind Sandy, and put his paws around her. She took hold of his paws, and held them there, resting her head against his chest. She blushed as Maxwell planted a couple of kisses down her neck.

"I love you Maxy," Sandy said. She slowly turned around and looked him in the eyes.

Maxwell caressed her cheek, "I love you too." Sandy leaned in and kissed him passionately. Maxwell kissed back. Sandy leaned out of the kiss after a while, and looked at him. Maxwell smiled mischievously. They both kissed again, but this one was deeper and much more intense then the first. After a while, they were both on the ground, still kissing, and then everything went black.
