Back Home
After a week of adventures in the day and romances at night in Hawaii, Bugs and Lola have to come back home. They had to pack up their things and go back to Cali and back to the daily grind. They took the private jet and arrived at the California airport in the afternoon.
After getting their bags and stepping into the mezzanine they heard someone yell through the crowd, "Well if it isn't the Mr. and Mrs. Bunny." They looked around and spotted Daffy in the crowd.
"Hi guys!" said Melissa right after.
"They're over here," said Daffy behind him. Soon enough Larry and Gladys made their way through the crowd.
"Hey!" greeted Bugs and Daffy in a hug. Melissa hugged Lola. Then Lola and Bugs were attacked with hugs and kisses from Gladys. Larry just gave them a nice, less aggressive hug for each.
"How was your trip?" asked Gladys excitedly
"It was fun," said Bugs and Lola simultaneously
"You've got to tell us all about it," said Gladys. She got in-between them and put her arms around their necks.
"OK," they said, as they had to bend down a little.
"Well, it all started when Warner Brothers bought us tickets on a private jet…" They began telling their story on the way out of the airport and on the way home. The PG version of course!
Home was Bugs' burrow. Prior to the wedding, the burrow was furnished to accommodate the newlyweds. New furniture was bought and rooms were redone and everything looked beautiful. The only thing it needed was the newlyweds. Once Bugs and Lola arrived at their new home, they were happy. This is the place where they were going to live together. This is home…their home.
The family stuck around to hear the story and to spend time together. They even helped them get settled in.
"Wow! That's sounds so romantic!" exclaimed Melissa as she clasped her hands together, "I can just picture that sunset."
"The islands were just gorgeous," said Lola
"Yeah, it was really nice," added Bugs
"Was their good service at the hotel?" asked Larry
"Excuse me a minute," said Lola as she got up from the couch. She went into the kitchen to get a drink of water. "What's the matter?" asked Melissa who followed her there.
"Nothing I'm just a little jet lag that's all," she responded after taking a sip.
"So, how was it?" asked Melissa more confidentially
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You and Bugs ever well…" started Melissa
"Girl, that's top secret info,"
"C'mon!"
"Well…I'll tell you one thing, it was…WOW!"
"Wow?"
"Yeah, WOW!"
Once the evening struck in, they had to leave. They said their good byes and left the newlyweds alone in their home. After cleaning up a little, the couple went to their room. It was nice and cozy. There was a king-size wooden frame bed with a carrot print comforter and a white quilt. There was also a bureau with toiletries and other trinkets on top, a walk-in closet with an array of clothing, and a pair of night tables at each side of the bed.
After getting ready for bed, Bugs and Lola slipped under the covers. Bugs stretched and Lola yawned before adjusting themselves. She cuddled under his chin and he held her close.
"You know what," said Bugs
"What?" she whispered
"Tomorra's Monday,"
"Ugh! I don't want to go to school,"
"We've got to. We took our vacation already, we gotta go back to woik,"
"Oh! I guess you're right,"
"You know what I could really go for right now," said Bugs seductively, " a little..."
He looked down on her but she was fast asleep.
"…OK, dat woiks, too," he whispered before following her lead to go to sleep.
The next day…
"Get up babe!" said Bugs from the bathroom.
"Ugh!" grunted Lola as she put the covers over her head.
"Get up!" he said coming into the bedroom and pulling on the covers giving Lola a sudden chill, "we gotta go!"
"Fine," she said finally getting up. She stretched then went into the bathroom, washed up, then went to the closet to get dressed.
"We're gonna be late," said Bugs fixing his shirt
"I'm ready…(yawn)," said Lola coming out with a pair of sweat pants and a matching jacket.
"We'll get something to eat on the way, lets go!"
They got into the car and drove off. After buying something to eat, they made their way to school.
Once they walked into school, faculty and students greeted them:
"Hi Bugs! Hi Lola!"
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Bunny!"
"Wow! Congratulations you two,"
And many other greetings and congratulatory remarks…
After picking up their new programs for this new semester, Bugs and Lola went to their awaiting classes. Bugs went to the office to do some paperwork while Lola went to her gym. She half-heartedly opened her office and dumped her bag on the floor. She them slouched in the chair and put her head down. She was about to doze off when the moving-bell rang which brought a shiver down her spine. She shook her head trying to revive herself.
"What's wrong with me today?" she said aloud. She went to the sink and washed her face. "I guess my body hasn't gotten used to being back in California yet," she said after drying herself up with a towel. She then went outside her office to wait for her first period gym class.
After the late bell rang, a few of the kids were coming from the locker rooms. There were a few familiar faces like Babs, Shirley, and Hampton. The other members of the 'clique' had her at a different time or they had Arnold as a teacher. Once everyone was settled in, Lola took out her trusty clipboard.
"Good morning class," she said
"Good morning Ms…we mean…Mrs. Bunny," replied the class
"Welcome to a new semester, I'm sure you're all ecstatic to be here," she said sarcastically
"Eh heh heh, you're kidding right?"
"What do you think? Well, getting down to business let's start with attendance first…" then Lola started to feel a little queasy that she had to hold her stomach.
"Are you OK?" asked Babs
"I'm OK…I think," she hesitantly replied. She then felt a jolt in her abdomen and dashed out of the gym and into the girl's locker room. The students looked concerned, but only Babs was brave enough to follow her.
"Coach?" asked Babs as she opened the door. She wandered inside and looked around. She heard a sound coming from the bathrooms so she went in that direction. Soon enough she found Lola hunched over at the sinks.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"I think I'm gonna throw up," she replied
"You want me to call Nurse Granny?"
"No…" she said. She then felt a pain in her stomach then she threw up in the sink.
"You're not OK. Something's definetly wrong,"
"Maybe it was something I ate…"
Babs went to the Nurse's office to tell Granny what was happening. In a few minutes Granny arrived to treat Lola.
"What's the matter dear?" asked Granny
"I don't feel too good…" she weakly replied. Granny took Lola's temperature and examined her throat.
"You have a fever. It could be a stomach virus, but I'm not positive,"
"Maybe it was the poi I had the other day…"
"Could be, but I think you should go to your doctor to run some tests," she then told Babs something then Babs went out of the room.
"What did you tell her?" asked Lola
"To go tell Bugs, you have to take care of this right now,"
"But, can't it wait till after school?"
"No, the sooner you take care of this the better. It's highly unlikely that you just suddenly get sick. Its better to be safe then sorry dear,"
Lola grunted then held her head with her hands. A few moments later and Bugs came in followed by Babs.
"What's wrong Lo?" he asked
"I think I have a stomach virus or something…bleah!" she replied before throwing up again
"This is serious Bugs, I think you should take her to the hospital," said Granny
"But Granny!" said Lola
"No buts about it, you're sick," said Granny in a motherly tone
"Whatever you say Granny. C'mon Lo, let's go," said Bugs. He helped her up and took her out of the locker rooms. Granny and Babs followed them in the hallway. Yosemite Sam stepped out of his office and saw Bugs helping Lola.
"What's a going on here?" he asked
"Lola's sick, and I'm taking her to da hospital," said Bugs
"Really?"
"What does it look like I'm doin'? You take over for me. Make sure ya assign someone to cover Lola's classes and my Physics classes,"
"Consider it done, sir,"
"Good,"
Once Bugs, Lola, Granny, and Babs were out of range, Sam went to Bugs' office. He plopped into the chair, put his feet on the desk, and took a big cigar and lit it.
"It's not everyday you get to be the boss!"
Granny and Babs watched as Bugs and Lola drove off in the car.
"Do you think it's really serious?" asked Babs
"Maybe…" said Granny
Once Bugs and Lola arrived to the hospital, they went to emergency and were attended soon enough. After a few routine tests, they were taken to consult a doctor. They were taken to an office were they found their doctor.
"Petunia!" exclaimed Bugs and Lola
"Hi guys! Didn't expect to see me did you?" she said cheerfully
"Wow Petunia! You're a doctor now!" said Lola
"Yes, those college courses really paid off," said Petunia
"Now I can really say 'Eh, (munch, munch) What's up doc?'" said Bugs
"That's right! Well, getting to the matter at hand, what seems to be the problem?"
"I feel really sick, so sick that I threw up," answered Lola
"Oh, school can do that to you. When did you begin to feel sick?"
"This morning. I felt lousy and more tired than usual,"
"Hmm…did you eat anything at all today?"
"I had a bagel this morning and a cup of coffee. It wasn't heavy or anything. But I felt fine after I ate it. It's like I got a sudden pain in my stomach later in the morning; it was really weird. I suspect that maybe my body was having like a delayed reaction, or something like that, to something I ate,"
"It could be. Anything else I should know about?"
"Besides my headache, that's all I have to say,"
"Well, I'm going to analyze the tests and we'll see what's wrong by tomorrow,"
"Is there anyting dat we can do now?" asked Bugs
"I can't prescribe anything cause I still don't know what the real problem is. I'll just recommend that you drink soup and get plenty of rest,"
"Alright, we'll do,"
"Come back tomorrow for your results. You can go home now, and don't do anything strenuous OK?"
"OK, thanks," replied Lola. She and Bugs got up to leave.
"Tanks, doc," said Bugs
"My pleasure," said Petunia
Bugs and Lola left the hospital and went to the car.
"What could be wrong?" said Lola aloud
"I have no idea what it could be," said Bugs
"I'm starting to worry," said Lola in a serious tone, "Nothing like this has ever happened to me. This must be very serious cause I feel really sick."
"I hope its nothing bad," said Bugs, "whatever it is, I'm sure we can deal wit it."
"I hope so…pull over!"
"What is it!" he said pulling over. Lola got out of the car and went to a bush by the side of the road. Bugs got out of the car and followed her.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"…I lost my breakfast again…"
The next day, after school the Bunnies went to the hospital. They did not know what to expect once they got there, but they went together nonetheless. They entered Dr. Petunia Pig's office, and sat on the two chairs in front of her desk.
"How are you today?" asked Petunia
"I'm a little better today," said Lola
"Good, and you Bugs?"
"Eh, I'm OK," said Bugs
"That's good. Well, I'm sure you guys are anxious to know what the results of the tests were," said Petunia
"Very anxious," they said together
"Well, wait no further, cause I have them right here," said Petunia taking out a folder from a pile of papers, "I haven't looked inside myself, so we're all gonna find out together. Are you prepared?"
"I'm ready," said Bugs. He looked over to Lola and she looked very solemn. "Are you ready Lo?"
"Might as well…I'm kind of nervous though…" she replied.
Bugs held her hand and looked into her eyes.
"Me too, but we'll face it together," said Bugs.
That was all the comfort she needed, she smiled in response. Petunia then opened the file and scanned the data. After a few seconds, she remained wide-eyed for a moment. That scared both Bugs and Lola, and it made them assume the worst.
"What is it!" they said together
"Lola…you're pregnant," said Petunia
A sudden silence hit the room. Bugs and Lola were deathly silent, motionless, open mouthed and wide-eyed. Petunia waved her hands over their eyes, but they still were in shock.
"You guys OK?" she asked.
They responded by fainting and falling back on their chairs. Petunia quickly got up and grabbed the smelling salts from her desk. She went over to them and passed the salts over their noses. Bugs was the first to wake up, followed by Lola.
"Did I hear what I tink I hoid?" asked Bugs in wonder
"Or are we dreaming?" asked Lola, also in wonder
"Yes, unless you heard something else besides me saying that Lola's pregnant," said Petunia
"No, I guess I hoid right," said Bugs still in a daze. He then zoomed off the floor like a rocket and jumped around the room, Daffy style. "WOO HOO! I'M GONNA BE A DADDY! WOO HOO!"
"I'm pregnant?" whispered Lola to herself, "Oh my gosh…that was fast!"
After Bugs had calmed down, he settled by his wife and gave her a huge kiss. "I love you," he kept telling her.
Lola finally came out of her shock and said, "OH MY GOSH! I'M GONNA BE A MOMMY!" She got up from the floor with Bugs and they both danced around excitedly.
"WOO HOO! WE'RE GONNA BE PARENTS!" They chanted. They even dragged Petunia into their dance of joy.
"Oh, thank you Petunia!" said Lola hugging her
"It's Bugs you should be thanking," chuckled Petunia, "I just delivered the news."
"Oh my goodness! This is so awesome!" exclaimed Lola
"We gotta tell everyone!" said Bugs holding onto Lola's hand. They both hugged Petunia and said, "THANK YOU!"
"You're welcome," Petunia managed to say despite of their death-grip.
Bugs and Lola skipped out of the room and into the hallway. Bugs held Lola and spun her around in the air. "Oh, Lola! I'm so happy!" said Bugs, "you're so beautiful! I love you!"
"I love you more!" she said
"I love you even more," he said putting her down on the ground and embracing her.
"Oh, Bugs! Words can't express my love for you," said Lola before giving him a deep kiss, "but actions do."
"Oh yeah!" he agreed
They walked out the hospital hand and hand. Once they walked through the sliding doors they were jumped by crazy paparazzi.
"Why are you two at the hospital?"
"What's wrong with Lola? Why is she sick?"
"What's the problem?"
They kept coming at them with cameras and microphones in their faces and crowding on them. Bugs and Lola fought their way through the crowd and ran for the car. Bugs turned on the car and was about to zoom off when the reporters crowded in front of their car. They went to the windows and kept asking questions. Then Bugs said, "Hey! Isn't dat Ricky Martin?" then the crowd of reporters turned as one unit and ran in the direction Bugs was looking at. As soon as it was clear, Bugs burned rubber and high tailed it out of there.
"We're livin' la vida loca!" he sang
They drove off to their house. Once they arrived, to their surprise, Daffy, Melissa, and Lola's whole family was there. When Bugs parked the car and he and Lola got out of the car, they were tackled with hugs and kisses.
"Congratulations you two!" they said
"Thanks…for what?" Bugs and Lola said together, equally confused
"You're having a baby!"
"What! But we haven't told anyone yet! How did you know?" said Lola
"California Scoop," Melissa answered
"It's on the news already!" said Bugs, "How did they find out?"
Then Lola received a call from her cell phone.
"Hello?" she answered
"Oh Lola I'm sorry!" said Petunia
"About what?" she asked
"It was those reporters! They had me in a corner and I let it slip!"
"Oh, its OK. Don't worry about it. I know how vicious they can be,"
"Thanks for understanding, I have to go before they start questioning me for the details! Bye!"
"Bye,"
Lola hanged up the phone.
"They got it out of Petunia," she said
"Darn paparazzi…" muttered Bugs
"Oh well…doesn't matter! The point is, we're so proud!" said Gladys giving them both a kiss on the cheek. She then pulled them inside and the rest followed. Once inside, Bugs was pulled aside by Daffy.
"Alright Bugs!" he said giving him a friendly punch on the shoulder, "you didn't waste anytime did you?"
"Apparently not," chuckled Bugs
"You're the man!"
"Yeah, I'm da man!"
"You go, you bad boy!
"Guys! Enough with the macho thing!" said Melissa
"Sorry," they said.
Bugs and Daffy looked upon the family. They were all fussing over Lola. They were talking, joking, and sharing experiences. Bugs was also pulled into the crowd that he became a part of. They were all soon fusing over him as well.
Through the commotion, Bugs looked at Lola and couldn't help but sigh lovingly. He was going to be a father. She was going to be the mother of his child. That feeling of joy made his heart soar above the clouds. Lola looked at him and from the twinkle in her eyes he could tell she felt the same way.
It was as though they were sharing a telepathic message saying, "I love you!"
