Flippy and Fliqpy quietly sat outside the hospital room as they waited for Flaky to recover from his sudden death. Ruby was hiding in her fathers arms after her sobs were reduced to sniffles and she stayed silent. Flippy rubbed her back gently with a soft gaze and turned to his other half, who kept his eyes on the floor and appeared to be deep in thought with his hands folded. The toddler's grip around Flippy's neck tightened as she spoke quietly. "Daddy, am I a bad girl?"

"What made you think that?" Flippy set the girl in his lap, which revealed puffy eyes and red cheeks as she lowered her gaze. She sniffed again with tears. "Because I hurt Mommy, and I wouldn't hurt Mommy if I was a good girl."

"Don't say that," Flippy soothed before kissing the top of her head and pulling her close. "You didn't mean to hurt him. And just because you did doesn't make you a bad girl."

"Yeah it does! Only bad girls hurt their mommies!" The red-head almost broke into sobs as she spoke, and Flippy didn't know what words would convince her. He held her tightly with a lowered head as she cried, and Fliqpy surprisingly patted her head for comfort.

The door opened and the two looked up to see Flaky exit the room with a lowered head and a quiet sigh. He spotted the two before gazing at the toddler, crouching down to meet her eye level. "Ruby, it's alright. There's no need to be scared, okay?" He reached out to pull the toddler in his arms and held her gently.

"I think she's more worried about turning bad than hurting you." Flaky closed his eyes at Fliqpy's response and heard the tiny red-head mutter that she wanted to be a good girl.

"So, should we take her to Lumpy?"

"I think that's the only option." Flippy sighed and took the red-head from his lover and headed towards the front doors of the hospital, the two of them following suit. He was soon brought back to the day where Ruby and Flaky had first been kidnapped by a follower of the Tiger General, and he and Fliqpy had been gone for days trying to find them. He sighed at the memory as the three exited the hospital and made their way home.

A month had passed after the children were kidnapped and soon taken home, and life had eventually gone back to normal in Happy Tree Town. After countless sessions, the kidnapped children had their previous minds and were no longer scarred. The children who escaped were soon located to another school, and the others followed soon after. Ruby was also cured of her trance-like state, but Flaky and Flippy still wanted to keep an eye out in case something happened.

Russell leaned back in his chair as he set a cup of tea on the table in front of him, giving a smile to the red-head next to him. He, Flaky, Petunia, and Nutty were all in the courtyard in the conference building, relaxing after a busy day while their children played not far from them. "I'm glad everything's back to normal," Nutty spoke happily before throwing a cookie in his mouth. "Now we don't have to worry so much."

"The only thing I'm worried about is if Lilac is going to put himself in danger." Petunia glanced over at her son playing with the triplets with a concerned gaze.

"I think they'll be fine," Russell responded to her. "Umi's the oldest, and she's smart enough to know right from wrong."

"I don't doubt it," Petunia glanced at her phone after receiving a text message and sighed before placing the phone back in her bag. "Giggles is trying to get into contact with me."

"Honestly I think she's lost contact with just about everyone," Russell responded with a blank look. "I think the only ones who are still willing to hang out with her are Mole and Lumpy. Everyone else tends to avoid her in case she tries to seduce them. Only reason why I hung out with her was because she was a friend, but I think she took it romantically. Hell, she tried to go out with me until I told her I was homosexual."

"I-I remember she tried to go out with Flippy too," Flaky stammered in return. "He ended up flipping out and killing her."

"I don't think it would have worked out anyway since he's obsessed with you," Nutty spoke up with a smirk. "God knows how many times you get his lucky ass in bed." The red-head blushed madly and lowered his gaze, forcing his hands into his lap shyly. "Y-You know how embarrassing that is."

"Flakes, you're talking to two guys who get their asses rammed into almost every day. Well, in Nutty's case, at least three times a day because he has the stamina of an incubus. I can't count Petunia since she and Handy aren't as sexually active."

"I won't take offense to the truth." Petunia muttered while taking another sip of tea.

"And Russell lures in Lumpy like a siren." Nutty commented with a smile. The former pirate shrugged in confirmation, ignoring the reference the candy addict made, and turned back to the red-head. "Point is, there's nothing to be embarrassed about with your sex life when you're with us. You can tell us anything." Flaky kept his head lowered and his blush intact as a response before lifting his gaze and turning towards the others. "W-Well, we haven't done it often b-because he's worried about me being torn again."

"That makes sense, but you were only torn because Fliqpy was so rough with you," Nutty replied with an elbow on the table and a lifted eyebrow. "Honestly, he shouldn't be so worried about it. You guys need to fuck every once in a while."

"Hell, you guys can do it tonight, since Ruby is staying over with us." Russell spoke up with a seductive smirk, causing Flaky to be as red as his hair.

"Just make sure you two are prepared." Petunia warned with caution before standing up and calling out for Lilac. Nutty soon followed with the triplets and the remaining mothers took their daughters into Russell's car. "Hey, you still have that gift I gave you, right?" Flaky nodded with an averted gaze as he pecked Ruby's cheek and helped her inside the car. "If all else fails, use it as a last resort. I know he won't be able to resist you."

Flaky sighed as he entered the front door to his home, lifting his head to see Flippy heading in his direction. "Perfect timing, I was about to go get you. Did Ruby make it to Russell's alright?" The red-head nodded and stepped forward, slowly sliding his fingers around the other's neck and pulling him in for a soft kiss. Flippy grew confused but responded to the kiss and wrapped arms around the younger. His eyes widened slightly when he felt a tongue brush against his lips, and he parted them to grant the red-head access. Now Flippy was concerned; Flaky never took the first step for he was usually the catcher when it came to their make-outs, but this new behavior surprised the veteran.

The two pulled away moments later, and the greenette saw Flaky's flushed cheeks and half-lidded eyes, causing him to slightly blush. "What's gotten into you? You're never like this." Flaky grabbed onto the other's jacket and nuzzled it in response. "W-Well, we haven't had the chance to do it, you know with the kidnapping and Ruby sleeping in our room. S-So, I was thinking we could take the time to relax tonight. Just the two of us." Thousands of ideas ran through Flippy's head, some with the red-head in the most alluring positions. It was almost enough to turn him on if it wasn't for the worry that resided in the back of his mind. He held the other's shoulders gently and gave him a look. "But what if-"

"I know you won't tear me," Flaky cut him off with a comforting gaze and cupped his cheek. "You would never try to hurt me, but it's okay. You can do whatever you want with me; I know you'll be gentle." After hearing those words, Flippy blushed hard at the various situations in his mind, causing his blood to travel south into his lower regions. Without warning, he hooked his arms around Flaky's legs from behind and hoisted him in the air, causing the younger to squeak in surprise and wrap arms around Flippy's head to make sure he didn't fall. "So," Flaky frowned at the upcoming words his boyfriend was about to say. "How will we make sure you won't get pregnant again? I mean, it's technically guaranteed since you used to be a girl." He pulled one of his hands away to raise the other's shirt, bending down to kiss and nip at his stomach. The red-head sighed and lowered his head, grabbing onto the green locks below him as he felt a tongue dip into his belly button. "W-Well, there's always the option of a condom."

Flippy frowned and pulled away with a slight glare. "Flakes, you know I don't like condoms. They take away the best feeling in the world," He remembered the first time the couple had used a condom, which was a few months after Ruby was born, and Flippy wanted to forget the experience. He felt unsatisfied with the rubber feeling around him, and he ended up hating it. Flaky, however, didn't mind because he felt pleasure either way. "And you know damn well I'm not pulling out. Feels too good to do that." He continued his teasing as he cautiously stepped into the living room and threw Flaky onto the couch with his legs still hooked around Flippy's waist.

Flaky's head tilted back as more of his stomach and chest were exposed into the cool air as Flippy's hands gently stroked his sides. "Th-There are also those pills I got from Sniffles."

"They don't even work half the time."

"They work for Russell." Flippy's lips were planted on his naval as he glanced up at the other. He paused for a moment before sighing. "Alright. I trust you, Flakes." He felt the other wiggle somewhat and lowered his head to see a bulge pressed against the front of Flaky's pants, and looked up to see the red-head exposing more of himself with a lust-filled gaze. He shook his head with a smile. "God, you must really want this."

"Flippy~"

"I know, I know." The veteran grabbed him by the chin and pulled him forward for a kiss so they could continue their intimacy, eventually falling off of the couch and onto the floor.
