Welcome to chapter 14. Prepare for extreme fluffiness! (I also did some research on rabbits so the facts in here are real!)

Getting Ready

Time Until Ceremony: Hours

The day everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived. All the seasonal spirits, guardians, Cupid, a few other friends had come to witness the Pooka's, Frost J. Rabbit and E. Aster Bunnymund, Marking Ceremony.

Everyone was gathered at the Warren, Cupid who was serving as the priest was at the altar while almost everyone else was filling out the rows of seats. The Pookas however were in their own separate rooms preparing with the Does maids and Bucks men.

"Oh Frost you look amazing!" Tooth squealed along with a couple other Does maids which included the female fall and spring spirits.

"Do you really think so?" Frost asked and looked at herself in the full length mirror again. Her pure white fur had been groomed and brushed down all nice and neat. She had a silver tiara with a glittery white vale and silver metal bands around her upper and lower legs and arms. Since she was a Pooka which is a form or rabbit she didn't wear a dress like humans but did wear a white shawl with silver trim. Her long oversized ears had silver glitter streaked in their fur, she also had sliver glitter in the fur of her paws, eyelids, and a couple areas of her forehead.

"Of course!" One of the fall spirits chimed in, her name was Autumn Breeze.

"Bunny won't be able to take his eyes off you." A spring spirit, May Flowers, said. Frost smiled and looked back at them. Her Does maids were wearing simple green dresses with silver snowflake and flower designs on them.

"How much longer until we go out?" Frost asked.

"About an hour." Tooth said. Frost looked back to the mirror.

"I still can't believe that this is happening. I'm really going to be mates with Bunny!" She said with a dreamy look in her eyes. The other female spring spirit, April Showers, giggled.

"So Frost can I ask you something about this Pookan mating and marking thing?" April asked.

"Sure." She said.

"So if you become the guys mate when you well mate with him what's the point of this ceremony?" April asked.

"Well the Ceremony is to let others see how much the Pooka couple cares for each other like a human wedding and the marking is so everyone knows the two are or are about to become mates. Most Pookas like Bunny and I have the ceremony first then mate later that night once everyone leaves." Frost tried to explain. The maids all just nodded.

"So I hear you two are going to try for kits as soon as you're marked. Is that true?" The other fall spirit, Fallen Leaves, asked. The tips of Frosts ear turned a light shade of pink.

"Yeah it's true." She said. All the girls squealed.

"So how long until there'll be little Pookas around?" May asked.

"Well that depends on when I get pregnant. If I do first try then about two months." Frost said.

"Wow, that soon?" Autumn asked shocked. Frost nodded.

"Yeah. Pookas are a sort of rabbit and most normal rabbit does are normally pregnant for only one month before giving birth, but since we're not normal it takes us a bit longer to produce a litter." Frost explained.

"Litter? As in more than one?" Fallen asked.

"Yeah, like I said we're a sort of rabbit so we have litters like rabbits would." Frost told them.

"So about how many are in a litter?" April asked.

"Depends on the doe and buck. The first litter is almost always smallest though. On average though it's normally somewhere between two and fifteen." Frost said after thinking a moment. All the maids' jaws dropped.

"That many?" everyone but Tooth who had been told this earlier asked.

"Yep." Frost said.

"Wow. So are you only doing one litter?" April asked.

"Well maybe. We might have another after the first is all grown up. We are immortal after all and it's not like the Pookan race is exactly overpopulated." Frost said. She smiled. "Actually we will probably have more than one later. See we have this plan to try and bring back our race. Once the first litter is grown we'll have them temporarily take over our roles as winter bringer and Easter bunny as we go back to our home planet and fix it up. Bury the dead, repair building, and make it to where pookas could live there happily again. Then we would teach a couple of the first kits how to lead and fight and as much Pookan culture as possible before sending them up to our home planet to get everything ready for the next few litters that Bunny and I will have here. Once the Pookan race is out of the danger zone and threat of extinction, we'll probably stop having kits."

"Wow, that's amazing." The spring spirits said in awe.

"Yeah, Bunny and I talked it over a while ago. There's a lot more detail to our plain than that, but that's the general idea. Bring back the pookas. But there are still a lot of things to be worked out so it'll probably be a couple hundred years or so before any of this happens." Frost said.

"We'll if you do, do that then you'd be mother of the century to put up with that many kits. And giving birth so many times." Tooth said.

"Yeah I bet I would. Though for now, we're only going to try for one. We'll decide if we want to go through with our plan later. Since we're immortal then we'd have plenty of time to decide and carry out a plan like that." Frost said.

"So will the young ones be immortal to?" May asked. Frost looked at her feet.

"We don't know. If not then they will still live a long time since pookas normally live about two hundred years or so and their parents are immortal so that would take on at least another hundred to two hundred years if they are mortal." Frost said. She really hoped they were immortal because she really didn't want to bury her own children.

"They will be immortal because both their parents are immortal." Tooth said. "Had only one of you been immortal then there would have been a chance of having mortal children. But you both are immortal so your children will be immortal. That's just the way things work. The only way they can die is the same way you or Bunny could, and that's only if someone were to kill you. Age or sickness won't be able to take them away."

Frost looked at Tooth, hope shining in her eyes.

"Really?" Frost asked. Tooth nodded and Frost had to restrain herself from leaping with joy.

***With The Guys***

Bunny paced around the room nervously. Sandy, North, the male summer spirits and male spring spirit watched him.

"I can't believe this is actually happening. Had someone come up and told me I would be mating with the doe of my dreams two years ago I would have thought they were nuts, but here I am now about to become mates with the most beautiful doe in the universe." Bunny ranted. North stopped him and fixed Bunny's tie for the umpteenth time. Bunny was wearing a tie, black formal wrist guards, and formal black leg wrappings. His fur had been groomed and brushed down to give it a nice, neat, clean look.

"Bunny, you must calm down. You are messing up tie and fur. You want to look nice for Frost no?" North asked. Bunny sighed.

"Yeah I'm just really nervous." Bunny admitted.

"Well how wouldn't be. That chick your about to mate with is a totally hottie. Well for a rabbit any way." A summer spirit, Sunny Days, said with a sly smirk. Had it been anyone but a summer who always talked like that Bunny probably would have knocked their lights out for calling his soon to be mate a 'hottie'.

Sandy started making images above his head.

"Sandy's right. We should head out now. Girl's will be out soon to." The only male spring spirit, Luke Warmer who everyone assumed was gay based on all the overly frilly things he liked despite being a spring spirit, said. Everyone nodded and began to walk out to the alter…

The actual Ceremony will be in the next chapter. (Hides behind brick wall) don't kill me!
