Hi again everyone! It's time for another chapter! Not really much to say other than sorry I took so long and it is great to know so many of you guys still read my stories. So now here's a quick shout out before we get started.

RizReviewer-It's good to hear from you again! Yeah I figured since they're immortal why rush things, they got all the time they need.

I do apologize in advance because yet again there is little action in this chap…and by little I mean none. This one's gonna be a flashback folks, but it should be rather fluffy. Yay fluff! Ok here we go.

I do not own Rise of the Guardians

Chapter 2: Finding Out

The morning light came through the window falling on Nat's face and her eyes fluttered open. Turning over she noticed a note on her bedside table.

Natty,

Went to North's to get some things for the nursery. Be back soon as I can, I love you.

She smiled at his note, it seemed like every moment he wasn't preparing for Easter he was doing something for the babies. Nat hummed absently and placed a hand on her stomach. Some days she still couldn't believe there were more than one, it was common for pookas to have multiples.

Looking to the window again Nat thought of how similar this morning was to the day where she first learned she was pregnant. Chuckling, she let her mind take her back to the amusing memory.

~~~~~Flashback~Six months ago~~~~

Bunnymund rolled over and woke up to see his beautiful mate sleeping soundly beside him, her red hair shining in the early light. He leaned in and gently kissed her forehead, watching as she began to wake up. Smiling down at her Bunny murmured, "Mornin' love."

She smiled tiredly at him and opened her mouth to speak, but instead of the good morning that she had planned to say Nat's face turned into a grimace. "Oh God!" was all she could say as she bolted from the bed to the bathroom, a hand over her mouth. It wasn't hard for the rabbit to hear her violent vomiting.

"Natty?" The only response he received from the bathroom was more retching. Cautiously he walked in, "Natty are you alright?" He found Nat raising her head from the toilet and wiping her mouth. She looked pale and clammy and Bunny crouched next to her.

With a tiny smile he brushed some hair out of her face, "Not feeling well?" He gingerly picked her up and carried her back to bed.

"Ok that came out of nowhere," Nat said as he placed her back into bed. She instantly curled into ball in hopes to sooth her churning stomach. Bunny felt her forehead and didn't feel any fever.

"Is there anythin' I can do for ya?" He pulled the blankets over her and tucked Nat in.

After a moment of thought she said, "Could you make me some of that berry tea? That's probably the only thing I can keep down right now."

Bunny smiled and kissed her cheek, "Sure thing. You just rest here and focus on feeling better, I'll have yer tea soon."

He started walking out the door when Nat added, "Oh! With honey too please!" The pooka sent a smirk over his shoulder before closing the door. After a few minutes in the kitchen Bunny had made a hot cup of berry tea, all that was missing was the honey. He went to the cupboard and sighed after finding an empty jar. Bunny went back to the bedroom and found Nat sleeping, so after a moment's thought he decided to go to North for some honey. And with a tap of his foot the warrior was on his way to the workshop.

He arrived minutes later at Santoff Claussen and one of the yetis told him the Guardian of wonder was in his office. Without knocking Bunnymund let himself in, causing North to shatter whatever it was he was making.

"Honestly! How many decades will it take to teach you yet-oh. Hello Bunny," a smile came over the man's face. "What brings you here?"

Bunny smiled at North, "Well I was just wonderin' if ya had some honey by any chance." The large Russian got up from his seat and led his old friend to the kitchen.

As he rummaged through cabinets he spoke, "So is this honey necessary for something important?"

The pooka shrugged casually, "Eh, Natty's sick and she wanted some tea with-"

But he was cut off by North's booming voice, "What?! Natalie is sick?" Snatching the honey he rushed out the kitchen shouting. "Jack! Tooth! I know you are here somewhere but there is an emergency! Come down here!"

The entire time Bunny tried to hush the overreacting man with little success and in seconds the couple came into the globe room. With an arm around his girlfriend's waist Jack asked, "What's the emergency North?"

North answered while rushing everyone to the sleigh, "Nat is sick, so as family it is our job to help her get better. Come on, we must find Sandy!"

Before Bunny could even protest he was in the sleigh flying through the air. "Aw struth," he thought, "I shoulda jus' found a beehive…"

Nat was peacefully sleeping when suddenly a loud commotion startled her awake. Sitting up she saw all five Guardians standing in her bedroom. All were talking at once asking how she felt. She glared at her mate, "You told them I was sick?"

Bunny winced at the strength of her glare, "I-I'm sorry love, I tried ta stop them." Everyone then started to talk again.

"Malyutka how are you feeling?"

"Are you hot? Cause I could cool you down if…"

"Do you want me to draw you a bath?"

Nat couldn't take it, "Guys! Listen, I appreciate you caring about me…but I really don't need any help. It's just a stomach bug, no biggie."

North smiled warmly at her, "We are family Natalie, and family help each other."

"Besides," Jack added, "Whenever we get sick you always take care of us, so it's the least we can do."

Nat's expression slowly turned into one of gratitude, "Alright then, thanks. But right now all I need is some tea." On cue Bunny stepped up with a steaming mug, now generously dosed with honey. After drinking almost half in one gulp Nat turned to Sandy, "Actually, I may need one more thing."

Sandy nodded and formed a ball of dreamsand. As she laid back Nat looked to her fellow Guardians, "Thanks guys." She then looked to the sandman and was promptly sent to dream land, head falling to the pillow with a soft sigh.

The Guardians then separated to perform their duties, with Sandy staying behind to keep an eye on her. After a few hours Nat woke up looking green, and ended up streaking to the bathroom again. Sandy floated in to see if she was alright.

"Will you quit hovering over me?!" she snapped. Instantly her hand flew over her mouth and both hers and Sandy's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my gosh I am so so sorry I don't know where that came from."

The sandman patted her shoulder comfortingly. He eyed her questioningly when suddenly realization hit and he started to laugh silently. Nat looked at him like he'd gone crazy.

"Mind sharing what's so funny? Or do you just enjoy seeing me ill?" Sandy smiled and began forming pictures over his head. An arrow pointed to her, and then a bunch of baby things appeared. It took a few seconds before Nat got it.

"You-you think I'm pregnant?" she whispered. Could Legends even get pregnant? Nat had no clue. After a bit of shocked silence she asked, "How do I find out?" More sand images. "Oh duh, a test, of course…could, could you get me one?" Sandy nodded happily and flew out immediately. Nat decided it was a good time to get up and send the others home, physically she was feeling better but now her mind was in overdrive. So after shooing Bunny to the clay hut she began pacing all over the house.

Was it possible she was pregnant? Since turning into a Legend Nat noticed how her body ceased changing, on the inside as well as out. And since her body was practically frozen as an eternal seventeen year she didn't expect this ever happening. And then more worrying thoughts intruded her mind. What if she was pregnant? Would she be a good mother? She had no clue how to even handle kids! Soon Nat realized she was beginning to have a panic attack.

"Alright calm down," she muttered to herself, "You're the Guardian of freaking courage. You can handle this, besides you've got Aster." Her miniature pep talk was interrupted by a bell ringing. Turning around Nat saw Sandy in the room holding with a little bag in his hand.

"Thanks a bunch Sandy. I think I've got it from here. I'll let you know soon though." The golden man smiled and nodded giving her a thumbs up with one hand and a fingers crossed with the other. The second he left she rushed to the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

It had to have been the longest three minutes of Nat's life as she waited for the results. It was a simple enough test, if there was one pink line, she wasn't pregnant. And if there were two, hers and Aster's eternity would never be the same. Nerves shook her to the very core, she didn't know if she should be happy right now, or panicked. What if Bunny didn't even want children? A silly thought yes, considering her husband was a Guardian of children but still, Nat felt she was allowed to think stupidly at the moment. After what felt like forever the minutes passed. Taking a deep breath Nat tore her nervous gaze from the mirror and looked down.

Two pink lines.

The breath she didn't even know she was holding came out in a rush and her hand went to her stomach in awe. Tears pricked Nat's eyes and suddenly all the nerves disappeared after seeing those two little lines. A grin stretched over her face as she looked at the test in disbelief.

She was going to be a mother.

Not wasting another second Nat flew out of the cottage to the clay hut. With the test behind her back she wrapped an arm around Bunny and kissed his head.

Turning from his chair he looked at her, "Feelin better are we?"

Deciding to play it cool Nat nodded, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know why I got sick. Can I ask you something? It's important."

Bunny's smile turned into a serious expression, "You can ask me anythin' love. Is somethin' wrong?"

"No no," she answered, trying not to smile and ruin the surprise. "But I've been wondering recently…do you ever want to have kids?" Nat hoped Bunny couldn't hear her heart hammering in her chest as she awaited his answer. With a shocked look from the question he thought for a moment.

He then stood up and put down his sculpting tools, "Well, before I became the Easter bunny I always wanted a family…" Nat's heart almost shattered if he hadn't continued, "And that dream hasn't let up since our mating. I figured that when you were ready, we could start tryin." Bunny saw Nat's smile increase, "Are ya asking because…you wanna try for kits?"

Slowly Nat pulled the pregnancy test from behind her back, "We can skip the trying Aster, because I'm pregnant." She almost laughed at the dumbfounded look on Bunny's face, which was soon replaced by a brilliant grin.

"You-You're pregnant?" He laughed and scooped her into his arms, spinning Nat around in a circle. He didn't let her go after setting her down, only brought her closer and began covering her face in kisses. "I'm gonna be a father!" From outside the wind whirled happily through the hut in celebration and laughter echoed through the Warren as it pulsed with joy.

~~~The Next Day~~~

Everyone had gathered at the Pole for dinner after being invited by Nat and Bunny. The meal went well, and now everyone was chatting casually.

"So what was the occasion for the dinner Kangaroo? Usually it's North who invites us." From the corner of Nat's eyes she could see Sandy smile knowingly at Jack's question.

Bunny could hardly contain his excitement, "We jus' thought it would be nice ta 'ave dinner is all."

Nat then grabbed a bag from the corner, "And because we also have gifts for you." She placed each present in front of a Guardian as they looked surprisingly at her, "But you all have to open them at the same time."

Tooth looked to Bunny, "What's the occasion for gifts? Did I forget a birthday?!" She almost flew out of her seat in a panic.

"No Tooth it ain't a birthday, you'll see in just a second. Natty, do you wanna do the honor?"

Nat nodded eagerly before turning to the others, "Ok everyone ready? You can open your presents…now!" Quickly they tore off the wrapping and each lifted up a shirt. All read something like, I'm going to be an uncle! Or for Tooth's sake, I'm going to be an aunt! Everyone stared open mouthed at their shirts, then back to Bunny and Nat who were beaming.

North was the first to speak, "Nat, Bunny…does this mean…?"

Bunny proudly wrapped his arm around her waist, "Yup. We're expecting!" Everyone exploded into cheers and hugs congratulating the two. Tooth couldn't stop squealing. After the initial shock North then held up his shirt to them.

"We will need to change this to grandpa of course, everyone knows they are a baby's favorite. And I intend to spoil them like one as well."

Nat's face changed, "Them?" Bunnymund kissed her and smiled.

"Yeah love, pooka's usually have more than one kit."

"….Oh dear lord."

~~~End Flashback~~~

Bunny walked into the bedroom to find Nat laughing, "Somethin funny?"

She shook her head, "Just thinking back a few months."

With his side smirk he came in and took her hand, "Come on, ya gotta see what North made." Leading Nat to her old bedroom, now the nursery, she walked in and saw two matching cribs each with a stuffed rabbit. They were hand carved from a light brown wood with flowered designs put into the bars, and they had to be the most beautiful things Nat had ever seen.

"They-they're gorgeous!"

The pooka smiled, "Yeah, and North said this is only the beginnin' of the spoilings." He rolled his eyes, "I can't imagine what else he's got planned for em."

She laughed and couldn't help but smile. The nursery was finally complete, she and Bunny were actually ready. All that was left now was to wait for the babies to arrive, and then Nat's life would be perfect.
