Note: This story is kinda hard for me to write, as I am putting adult subjects into a fanfic for a kids cartoon. However, I realize that I am far from the first person to do this, so I am not alone. Before we continue on, I want to say something to a critic of this story.

mjames577: If you're still reading this story, I hope that you like it better now that I am working on developing Bert and Lisa's relationship. If you don't like the story, don't read it. That's basically all I can tell you. While I'm at it, I want to recommend my other stories to you.

Now then, let's move on to chapter seven.

Chapter 7: The Collapse

Two weeks had passed, and Lisa was feeling better than how she did prior. She had seen the psychiatrist Melissa had set her up an appointment with and was taking medicine to get rid of the pain she felt. As for Bert, he was becoming closer to the younger female, acting as emotional support when no one else was available. The two raccoons were becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, with friends and family giving their support. Things were looking up for Lisa, seeing as she was getting the help she needed. If only she was prepared for what was going to happen the next day.

When she entered the Blue Spruce Café, Lisa felt a tad woozy. Her head was in absolute pain in spite of taking some Tylenol earlier. In addition, her abdomen felt a tad bigger. Something was wrong, and the young woman could tell that it was something that would change her life more than what happened to her nearly a month ago. Inside the Café were Bert and Schaefer, the former coming over to Lisa.

"Are you okay?" Bert carefully asked.

"I'm just a little sore, Bert." Lisa lied.

"I'll help you to your seat." The smaller male offered.

"I can make it over." The taller female moaned.

"Are you sure?" The older raccoon asked.

"Yes." The younger raccoon said as she staggered over to the table. Before she could sit down, Lisa slipped into unconsciousness and fell to the floor. Alarmed, Bert held her in his arms.

"Lisa, are you okay?!" Bert asked in panic.

"I'll call an ambulance!" Schaefer said as he picked up the phone.

Five minutes later, an ambulance arrived at the Blue Spruce Café. Once it was near the building, a doctor came out and loaded Lisa into the ambulance. Bert went into the vehicle as well, hoping to see if the younger female was okay. However, he was not expecting what would be revealed when they got to the hospital.

Lisa woke up in a hospital room with Bert and Nurse Peck near her.

"What happened?" Lisa moaned.

"You collapsed," Bert stated, "then I had Schaefer call the hospital."

"Where is everyone else?" Lisa asked.

"I told them not to worry and that I would bring you home." The older male explained.

"Thanks." The younger female moaned.

"Let's get you off that bed!" Bert offered his hand.

"Before you go," Nurse Peck said as she took out a document, "I want to show you something."

"What is it?" Bert asked as he looked at the document.

"A report on Lisa's health," the feline nurse stated, "I meant to give it to you last week."

Bert couldn't help but gasp. The report had revealed something awful.

"What is it?" Lisa sat up.

"Lisa, you're ..." Bert was speechless.

"What?! What am I?!"

"Pregnant!"

Lisa was horrified, what with Bert's words being clear and present. It was bad enough that she was raped nearly a month ago, but now she was carrying her attacker's evil spawn. When things were looking up, a terrible truth had been revealed.

"I'll leave the room." Nurse Peck said as she opened the door and left.

Bert and Lisa were completely speechless. The two raccoons were so surprised by the bad news, they looked down at the ground.

"What am I going to tell everyone?" Lisa broke the silence.

"I don't know," Bert sighed, "I'm at a loss too."

"I don't even know what to do." The younger female stated.

"The decision is yours," the older male said, "you can either have the baby or have an abortion."

"I couldn't have an abortion," the taller raccoon said, "even if the baby was forced into me."

"You've got months to decide, so you don't have to say anything if you don't want to." Bert calmly stated.

Before Lisa could say anything, Sophia came into the room.

"Phone call, Bert." The aardvark kindly said.

When Bert walked near the phone, he carefully picked it up and was greeted by a frantic voice.

"Bert!" Ralph's voice came through the line.

"Ralph, I've got some bad news!" Bert spoke.

"I've got even bigger bad news, buddy!" The other raccoon's voice rang out.

"What is it?" Bert asked.

"There's been three more rapes!" Ralph stated, "The victims claim that they have been attacked by the same person who attacked Lisa! It's official, there's a serial rapist in the Evergreen Forest!"

"I'm going to take Lisa back to her house." Bert calmly said, "I'll make sure that we don't encounter that creep."

"Okay," Ralph sighed, "just be careful!"

Bert put the phone back on the line. Before he could head back to Lisa, he saw Captain Pepper.

"Bert," the dog asked, "are you okay?"

"The rapist has struck again." Bert said.

"I know," Captain Pepper stated, "we had the victims brought here."

"Do you have any more information on the guy who did this to them?" The raccoon asked.

"DNA tests have been done," the dog answered, "but it's revealed something about the rapist."

"What is it?" The smaller male asked.

"The rapist is not someone native to the Evergreen Forest." Captain Pepper said.

"Really?" Bert was surprised.

"This might be a tougher case than we thought." The canine officer stated.

"You'll find him, don't worry." The raccoon stated.

"Would you like a ride home?" The taller male asked.

"No," Bert smiled, "I'm sure Lisa and I can make it to her place."

"Okay," the canine officer said, "take care."

"You too, Captain." The raccoon said before saluting the taller male.

Meanwhile, at the Sneer Mansion, a familiar aardvark millionaire had just heard the news about the attacks in the Evergreen Forest.

"So," Cyril Sneer said, "there's a serial rapist on the loose? Looks like the police are stumped by this crook! If they can't find this guy, I'll have to! All I need is a rifle with a sniper scope and a silencer! Who knows?! There might be a reward on this rapist's head!

Note: Of course Cyril Sneer would appear in this story, what would be a fanfic for The Raccoons be without him? And it looks like he's going to take matters into his own hands, too. Not sure if the police would tolerate it, though. As for Lisa, she's going to have to tell everyone that she's pregnant. Hopefully, Bert can help ease the tension.
