Things are so much better when they happen twice. this is about a year after the last chapter and it's not nearly as violent. it's interesting though

Second Times The Charm

"So the wolf tried to blow down the brick house. He huffed and puffed but couldn't blow it down. He was so humiliated he ran away and the three pigs ever saw him again. The end." Bugs closed the book he was reading to Jacob. Jacob, now one year old, picked up another random book which happened to be the Jungle Book and handed it to him. "You want me to read another one?" Bugs asked. He'd already read him five books. Jacob nodded. "Okay. Deep in the jungles of Africa…"

He heard a faint scream and looked up. "Lo? Is that you?"

A few seconds later Lola came in shaking her head. "No, it's Melissa," she said pointing to the phone. "Daffy just popped the question."

Bugs chuckled. "It's about time."

Jacob pulled his shirt. "Dada," he pointed to the book and Bugs continued to read to him.

Daffy and Melissa spent the next couple of weeks preparing for their wedding with help from their friends. They planned to have it on the beach but the date wasn't set yet. Meanwhile though, Lola had her own problems. One Monday she woke up feeling sick and she had the worst headache. She didn't think anything of it and just took some medicine and went to work. But a couple days later she spent her morning throwing up.

She was in the bathroom sitting on the floor puking. Bugs came in. "You're still throwing up?" Lola looked up at him and nodded. He sat down next to her and held her ears out of the way. "Why are you so sick? Did you eat something that was contaminated?"

Lola giggled. "No…at least, I hope I didn't." She leaned against his chest willing the nausea to go away.

Bugs kissed her forehead and hugged her. "Maybe you should stay home today."

Lola nodded. "Okay."

After throwing up all morning she had the worst headache and was extremely tired but of course Jacob wouldn't let her sleep, he wanted her to play with him since it wasn't very often she was home during the week. All of these symptoms felt familiar though. Was she…no she couldn't be pregnant could she?

Just to be sure, she decided to go out to the store after lunch and get a pregnancy test. After washing Jacob's dishes from lunch she picked him up and took him upstairs to get him dressed. "You wanna go to the store with mommy?" she asked as she changed his shirt.

Jacob nodded and said something that sounded like a yes but wasn't correctly formed. Lola picked him up and took him upstairs to change him. Then she put him in the car and went to the store.

After finding a pregnancy test she took it to the counter along with a lollipop for Jacob. "Knocked up by your boyfriend sweetie?" the check out lady asked.

Lola raised her eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"It's okay to admit it." She glanced down at Jacob in his stroller. "Is that your sister's child?"

Lola glared at her. "No! I'm married, he's my son!" She showed the lady her wedding ring for proof.

The lady looked embarrassed. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I…"

Lola snatched the bag from her. "You really shouldn't jump to conclusions like that!" Then she pushed Jacob out of the store and headed home.

Once she got home she put Jacob in the living room and let him watch Sesame Street then she went into the bathroom and took the test. She gasped when it came out positive. Then a smile spread across her face.

"Lo, I'm home! Where are ya?" Bugs called.

"I'm in the bathroom."

He came in through the open door with Jacob in his arms. "You feeling better love?"

Lola nodded. "Yeah, I'm great actually. I'm gonna have another baby."

Bugs sat Jacob on the counter. "Seriously?" Lola nodded and showed him the positive pregnancy test. He put his arms around her and kissed her as hard as he could. Then they hugged and kissed and laughed out of pure happiness.

Lola turned to Jacob who was staring at them like they were crazy with his fingers in his mouth. "Jake, you're gonna have a new brother or sister."

Jake continued to stare at them and Bugs and Lola laughed. "He doesn't know what that means Lo," Bugs said still laughing.

That weekend Bugs and Lola and Jacob were sitting outside of Starbucks with Daffy and Melissa and Sylvester. Daffy and Melissa were snuggling close to each other and discussing their wedding plans. Bugs was drinking coffee and Lola was holding Jacob throwing in comments to Daffy and Melissa every now and then. And Sylvester was listening to his iPod.

"Let's have it on the 10th," Daffy said.

"No, the 16th would be better," Melissa said.

"Why? What's wrong with the 10th?"

"We have a four day weekend on the 16th."

Daffy took a sip of his coffee. "Fine, the 16th it is then."

Melissa turned to Lola. "Lola?" Lola apparently didn't hear her because she was tickling Jacob and laughing with him. "Lola!"

Lola looked up. "Huh?"

"Wanna be my maid of honor?"

"I can't wear a maid of honor dress, I'm pregnant."

Melissa rolled her eyes. "Aw c'mon Lola, you can't even tell yet. Please? You said you would back when you got married."

Lola sighed. "Okay, fine. Ow!" She looked down and saw Jacob with her ear in his hand. "Jake, stop."

"So while we're on the subject," Daffy said. He cleared his throat. "Bugs, will you be my best man?"

Bugs took a sip of his coffee and looked at Daffy with a bored expression. "Maybe…if ya stop looking at me like that!"

Daffy just laughed and drank more of his coffee.

"Ah, Jake!" Sylvester exclaimed when he saw his iPod in Jacob's mouth. He took it out and wiped it off with a napkin. Jacob just laughed at him. "It's not that funny." He saw Bugs and Lola laughing. "Why are you encouraging this?"

"We're not encouraging it, it's just funny," Bugs said still laughing.

Daffy and Melissa had just gotten married on the beach and now all of the guests were at the reception sitting at tables eating cake or dancing.

Bugs, Daffy, and Sylvester were sitting at a fancily decorated table each with cake in front of them.

"Daffy, I hope this is your last wedding, I'm tired of being your best man," Bugs said.

"Sylvester will do it next time," Daffy said with a shrug.

Sylvester shook his head. "I did it three times, I'm done. Get Porky to do it next time."

"This is the last time, I promise," Daffy said.

Bugs and Sylvester exchanged a look. "You said that about Daphne."

"And Leslie," Sylvester said.

"And…"

Daffy held up his hands to stop them. "Alright I get it! But Melissa's the one."

Melissa came over and kissed him after hearing their conversation. "Really?"

"Of course baby."

Jacob came over to Bugs. "Daddy!"

Bugs picked him up. "Hey kiddo. Want some cake?" Jacob nodded eagerly and Bugs fed him a piece of his cake.

Lola came over to them with Daffy's blonde sister Dolores whom no one knew existed until a couple years ago. The two of them had hated each other their whole lives and hadn't been on speaking terms for about thirty years. Now though, they were good friends. The two of them pulled up chairs and sat down.

Dolores pinched Daffy's cheek. "You two are so cute together. What is this, your eighth wife?"

Daffy pushed her hand away. "Seventh. She's the one though."

Dolores rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"I'm serious!"

Dolores turned to Melissa. "What do you see in Daffy? He's greedy, he's rude, and he's stuck up."

Melissa hugged Daffy. "No he's not. He's sweet, and nice, and sexy."

Lola laughed. "No he's not."

Daffy glared at her. "No one asked you."

Melissa put her hands on her hips. "Well what do you see in Bugs? He's nothing special. He's arrogant and rude."

Bugs raised his eyebrows. "I'm insulted by that," he said as he gave Jacob another piece of cake.

"He is not, he's sweet and sexy and he's an amazing father, and unlike Daffy he's a great kisser."

Sylvester snickered. "Is this what women talk about all day?"

Jacob looked at Bugs expecting him to give him more cake. Bugs chuckled. "There's none left Jake."

Jacob pouted and turned to Lola. She held him and gave him a kiss. "More," he said.

She laughed. "I'll get you some more cake later." She looked at Daffy and Melissa. "You two should have a baby."

"Hell no!" Daffy and Melissa exclaimed.

"After babysitting yours, we're never having any kids," Daffy said.

Lola rolled her eyes. "He is not that bad, he's just getting to that age." All of a sudden Jacob pulled down the front of her strapless dress and she quickly pulled it back up. "Jake! I don't need the whole room to see my cleavage!"

Bugs nodded thoughtfully at the thought of Lola's cleavage. "I'd love to see your cleavage right now." Lola glared at him jokingly and kicked his shin. "Ow, shit!"

A few months later Lola was sitting in the backyard with Jacob on a blanket near their garden. Jacob pulled one of the flowers out of the ground and came back over to her.

"That's a daisy," Lola told him.

"Okay." He handed it to her. "Here mommy."

Lola smiled. "Thank you Jacob, that's so sweet of you."

He went back to the flowers and got another one then brought it to her.

"That's a lilac."

"Okay." He gave that one to her as well then went to get another one. But the next one he tried to get was a rose and he hurt himself on the thorn. Then he came back over to Lola crying.

"What did you do?" Lola asked pulling him into her lap which didn't have much space to sit on since her stomach was getting bigger.

He held out his hand to her still crying.

Lola took his finger in her hand and kissed it and massaged it. "Is that better?" Jacob nodded and soon stopped crying.

"'Sup little sis?" They looked up and saw Lola's big brother Tyler coming towards them.

"Just break into my house, why don't you?"

"I'm technically not in your house," Tyler said with a smirk. He sat down next to them.

Lola rolled her eyes. "You smart ass."

Jacob crawled over to Tyler. "Tywer."

Tyler gave him a hug. "Hey Jake." He noticed how big Lola's stomach had gotten since the last time he'd seen her. "Shit, your stomach is huge!"

Lola gave him an amused look. "Thanks," she said sarcastically.

"Seriously, how many months are you now?"

"Six." She felt the baby move and involuntarily put her hand on her stomach.

"Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl."

"When's she due?"

Lola laughed. "What is this, twenty questions?"

Bugs came over to them with three carrots in his hand. "Hey you guys. Hey Ty, you want one?"

Tyler shook his head. "Nah. So you never told me when the baby's due," he said.

"She's due in May," Bugs replied.

"You should have brought Angie over here," Lola told him. Angie was Tyler's girlfriend.

Tyler shook his head. "Her mom's sick, so she's been over there a lot."

Lola smirked. "Aw, you miss her?" That made Bugs laugh.

Tyler nudged her with his foot. "Shut up Lola."

It was the middle of May. According to the doctor, Bugs and Lola's baby was due in two weeks and they were both growing more nervous by the day. They'd done all of this before so they weren't exactly sure why they were so nervous, maybe it was just anxiety.

Lola was home from work that week. She'd had no intention of going to work for the next few weeks. The baby was due soon and not to mention her back was killing her that day. She was in the kitchen washing her and Jacob's dishes from lunch. After she was done something happened that she wasn't expecting at all, her water broke.

She stood there for a moment at first thinking she was imagining things. She couldn't be having the baby now, she wasn't even due for two more weeks. She felt her first contraction and then it occurred to her that she was in labor. "Oh shit!" She grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" Bugs said.

"Bugs I'm in labor!" she exclaimed.

"What? But she's not due for two weeks…are you sure?"

Lola rolled her eyes. "Bugs, I think I know when I'm about to have a baby. Just come over here, now!"

"Alright Lo, alright. Try to stay calm; I'll be there as fast as I can."

"Okay, hurry." After she hung up she called Miranda.

"Hello?" she Miranda's high voice.

"You're not doing anything right now are you?" Lola asked.

"Um, Max is over here."

"Anything important?"

"Max is important!"

"I'm having the baby Miranda; I need you to come watch Jacob."

"Omg you're having your baby?"

"Just come over here now." She went into the living room and sat on the couch and leaned back on the arm. The contractions were starting to get more intense and painful and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Jacob came and sat next to her and pointed to her stomach. "Baby?"

Lola nodded and smiled at him. "Yeah, that's your baby sister…and she's about to come out now." She heard the doorbell and struggled to get to the door.

Once she opened it Miranda hugged her tightly. "Hi Lola!"

Lola winced as she felt another contraction. She pushed Miranda off her. "Miranda…"

Max laughed. "Je-sus Miranda, you're gonna end up squeezing the baby out of her."

Miranda thought she had hurt her. "Lola I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…"

"It's not your fault." They all went to the living room and sat down on the couch. Lola was really in pain now and Miranda and Max sat across from her nervously not exactly sure what to do. Usually Lola was the strong one and Miranda was always the fragile one that needed to be taken care of. Now that the situation was flipped around she was quite sure what to do.

"You want me to get you anything Lola?" Max asked deciding he needed to be helpful.

Lola nodded. "Can you get me some water?" Max quickly got up and came back with a glass of water for her.

"Are you okay Lola?" Miranda asked.

Lola gave her a look. "How about you think about that for a few minutes and tell me the answer."

Thankfully Bugs came in right then. "Lo, where are you?"

"In the living room."

Bugs came in and sat next to her. He kissed her lips then Jacob sat on his lap. "Hey kiddo."

"Hi Bugs," Miranda said.

Bugs turned around. "Hey Miranda, Max. I didn't see you there."

"Hello!" Lola exclaimed. "Woman in labor here!" She felt another contraction and it made her cry in pain.

"Come here." Bugs picked her up and carried her out of the room. Once he picked her up she gripped onto him and cried into his shoulder. "Thanks Miranda, thanks Max!" he called over his shoulder. They got in the car and Bugs drove her to the hospital. Bugs was driving way over the speed limit though and a police officer pulled them over. He swore under his breath. "You've got to be kidding me." He rolled down the window as the police officer came over to them.

"Sir, do you know you were going 15 miles per hour over the speed limit?"

"Listen officer, as much as I'd love to stay and chat about my driving habits my wife is in labor. Can I give you my number and you can call me later?"

"It doesn't work that way. Stay here while I get some paper work." He walked away.

All Lola wanted to do was get to the hospital so she wouldn't end up having the baby in the car. "Bugs…"

He took her hand and kissed her."We'll get there soon Lo. Damn this guy." He looked back but the officer was taking his sweet time. He kissed her again. "Just breathe Lo, count to ten." Lola tried to do what he said but the pain increased with every contraction. Bugs honked the horn but the officer didn't try to move any faster.

Finally he came over to them. "Alright sir, you owe $300 for speeding…"

"Oh my fucking god!" Lola exclaimed. "Listen dude, I'm about to have a baby. Can you hurry this up damn it!" she shouted.

Both Bugs and the officer were surprised by Lola's outburst. "Sorry ma'am, um, go ahead. Congratulations by the way." He handed Bugs the ticket then drove as fast as he could without getting another ticket towards the hospital trying to comfort Lola on the way but it wasn't really working.

Once there she was taken to a room and put in the hospital bed. He sat next to her and took her hand then he kissed her lips. "You'll be okay Lo." Lola gave him a grateful smile.

The doctors came in and gave her some medicine to ease her pain. Then they examined how dilated she was and looked at the screen to see how the baby was. "Oh no."

"'Oh no'? What do ya mean 'oh no'?" Bugs asked nervously.

"Her feet are positioned to come out first. If she comes out that way she'll suffocate."

Bugs and Lola looked at each other with fear on their faces. Lola held Bugs hand and squeezed it. "So what do we do?" Bugs asked.

"If she turns around by the time you're finished dilating then you can give birth normally, but if she doesn't you'll have to have a c-section."

Bugs looked at Lola and saw that she looked very scared. He hugged her and stroked her cheek as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"What if something goes wrong Bugs? What if something happens to her?" Lola could care less what happened to herself, she was more concerned about their daughter.

Bugs kissed her. "She's gonna be okay Lola. Both of you are, I promise."

The minutes passed by slowly, each one seemed like an eternity. Bugs and Lola were both filled with anxiety. Bugs was pacing back and forth across the floor and Lola was laying in the bed watching him but it was starting to bother her. "Bugs, can you please stop pacing like that? You're gonna wear a hold in the floor."

Bugs stopped and sat next to her. "I'm sorry Lo. Damn it, I'm not even thinking about you, I know you're upset."

"I'll be okay. I just care if she's okay."

"She will be, trust me."

The doctor came back in. He examined the baby. "She's turned around the right way. You're fully dilated now, you can start pushing her out."

Bugs took Lola's hand and she started pushing the baby out. The room was filled with her screams and cries. She was starting to wonder whether she would have rather had a c-section than done this. Many pushes later she leaned back needing a break.

Bugs kissed her lips. "You're doing good, you can do this."

Lola shook her head. "I don't know…"

"You've done it before." He brushed her hair out of her eyes. "You can do it again."

Lola nodded. "Okay."

"Keep going Lola, you're halfway done," the doctor said.

She kept pushing and screaming. Bugs tried to comfort her but he didn't feel like he was doing much. He hated feeling this helpless. Soon they heard a cry and they saw their daughter for the first time. The doctor wrapped her in a pink blanket and handed her to Lola. All of the pain Lola felt was immediately gone when she touched her. She had Lola's brown fur and white cheeks. She also had Lola's ears and blonde hair. But she clearly had Bugs' eyes and face. The name they had decided on for her was Kristy Victoria Bunny. They'd given her Lola's middle name. She'd always hated that name, she thought it was too girly but Bugs had convinced her it was a really pretty name so she finally gave in to name her that.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Lola said.

Bugs ran his fingers across the white fur of her cheek. "Yeah she is. She looks exactly like you."

"She still has your face," Lola said. She kissed his lips. "I love you."

"I love you too Lola."

The doctors took Kristy for a few minutes to examine her and make sure she was okay particularly because she was born prematurely. After they brought her back Bugs called Miranda to bring Jacob over to see her. When Miranda got there she practically screamed. "Omg, she's so adorable!"

Lola rolled her eyes. "Don't scare her."

"She looks just like you guys," Max said.

"Thank you Mr. Obvious," Lola said sarcastically.

"I think giving birth has made her a little cranky," Bugs said. Lola pushed his arm. He picked up Jacob and put him on the bed. "That's your little sister," he said.

Jacob pointed to her. "Baby?"

Lola nodded. "Yup. Her name is Kristy."

Jacob stared at her for a moment. "Ew."

"Ew?" Lola said. "You don't like her?"

Jacob shook his head. "No."

"You've been talking about her for the past nine months and now you don't like her?" Bugs said laughing.

"Nope."

"You'll like her eventually Jake. To this day I still don't like your aunt Lena."

When they got home Lola took Kristy into the living room and sat on the couch with her while she looked around at her new surroundings. Soon she started to get hungry and Lola fed her. Jacob came over and sat next to them. He leaned against Lola's arm and watched her feed his sister. "What doing?"

"Feeding Kristy. I used to feed you this way," Lola said to him.

"Nuh uh."

Lola laughed. "Uh huh."

Bugs came in and put Jacob on his lap. "Hey family." He kissed Lola's lips then kissed Kristy's cheek. She held his finger and it made him smile. "I love you too Kristy."

"Daddy," Jacob said poking his cheek. Bugs looked at him. "Bouncy."

"Alright kiddo." Bugs bounced Jacob on his knee and he laughed. Soon after the doorbell rang. Bugs and Jacob went to get it. It was Daffy and Melissa.

"Where is she? Where is she?" Melissa exclaimed.

"In the living room with Lola…"

Melissa pushed past them and ran towards the living room.

Daffy shook his head. "She wouldn't shut up the whole way here."

Bugs laughed. "I heard her on the phone last night, she had Lola talking to her for hours. Lo just wanted to go to sleep."

Daffy laughed as he imagined that.

"You wanna come see her?" Daffy shrugged and they went to the living room where Melissa was squealing over Kristy.

"She's so adorable Bugs," Melissa said.

"Yeah she is," Bugs said running his hand through Kristy's soft hair. Jacob tapped Bugs again obviously jealous by the attention they were giving Kristy. "You want me to bounce you again?" Jacob smiled and nodded happily and Bugs started bouncing him.

"Geez rabbit, how many babies are you gonna have?" Daffy said.

Bugs shrugged. "I don't know." He looked at Lola. "Wanna have another baby?"

Lola glared at him. "Do I really look like I want to have another baby?"

"Never mind, I'll ask ya that in another year."

Hooray for baby #2! How many will they have? Will Lola be popping out Bugs' children for the rest of her life? Read on to find out!
