This one is set before Little Prince.

A Small Miracle.

North and Tooth stare at Bunnymund waiting for his declaration. The pooka sniffs the air around Tooth, before sitting down on the soft grass in the Warren, closing his eyes and focusing.

It isn't the first time the couple came to their friend for this, it's not the first time they wait for an answer while holding their breath in anticipation, but they hope it's the last time. That, maybe this time Bunny can give them a different answer than what he'd given them in the past.

Aster knows this, he can feel the intense hope radiating from the pair.

Finally North who does not have the patience to wait for something like this- like all the times before- asks "Well?"

Long powerful ears lowering made it clear -they'd be getting the same answer as the times before this.

"I'm sorry, mate."

Tooth made a sound that wasn't exactly a sob- but it sounded very close to one- and hugged North's arm, resting her chin on his shoulder.

North's face which darkened- large blue eyes glaring at the ground as he muttered a quiet "Chert!" the Russian word for damn it.

Their twenty-seventh 'no'.

Ears still hanging low Bunny got to his feet determined to make his friends feel better- to give them hope. "Come on ya sadsacks..." In all honesty it was a poor attempt, he didn't know why it seemed like Tooth couldn't get pregnant and he didn't know how to help. "Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. You guys can't give up ye-"

"Aster."

Surprised by the fairy's tone Bunny looked at the woman he had saved when she was still a child.

"Just, don't..."

Ears lowering even further Bunnymund nodded. There's nothing he can say that will help either Tooth or North. So he takes a step back, opened a rabbit hole and disappeared down into it, giving the couple some privacy.

When the hole closes up Toothiana does something unusual- that is unusual for her- she sat down.

And while North remained standing, both their thoughts by the same question.

'Why does it seem like they aren't allowed to have a child of their own?'

Letting out a quiet sigh- one that couldn't possibly rid her of how emotionally tired she felt Tooth gazes at her hands...

After getting married four years ago having a child seemed like the most logical next step for her and Nicholas to take. God knows they both adored children, heck, both of them are Guardians of Childhood.

Their friends, Sandy and Bunnymund supported them, they jumped at the prospect that there might soon be a child to spoil rotten- they'd be the uncles afterall.

But after months of trying...

Nothing.

And now after another check with Bunnymund, the guardian of hope and new beginnings... It seemed the answer would always stay the same.

The reason why Tooth still wasn't pregnant was a mystery to both husband and wife.

Both are healthy and species isn't an issue, Toothiana's father was human afterall. That left one option.

Their immortality.

It's this realization that causes Tooth to utter her next sentence. "Nicholas," She looks at her husband who's still standing besides her, gazing at far away trees while not really seeing them at all. "Wouldn't you be better off with a mortal woman?" After all... Her big Russian teddy bear is perfect to be a father- meant to be. He's the most caring big oaf of a bandit she ever met and perfect for parenthood.

Her words definitely catch her husband's attention.

"W-wh-aat?!" North sputters nearly falling backwards in shock. He looks at her expecting her to be giggling behind her hands- that her words had just been a ridiculous attempt at humour, but her amethyst eyes are nothing but serious as she gazes at him with such intensity.

She's serious?

His already large blue eyes are wide as he sits down besides her while muttering "Iz vsekh glupostey, chtoby skazat..." North mutters this quietly so his wife doesn't hear him, because he learned by now, that Queen Toothiana is a master of all languages.

"Angel Moy," He starts. "tell me, what makes you ask this question?"

Tooth flies up, she's already been sitting still for too long. "You can be a father then!" She said starting to circle her husband, not in the way a the tigress circled her prey- not the way that was more... Tooth. But in mess of nervous feathers. "You... You're meant to be a dad! A wonderful one! I know it! And I know you'll have no problem finding the right woman to-"

The fairy abruptly stops her rambling when North suddenly grabbed her ankle and starts to gently pull her downwards and into his arms.

"If it's not vith you," North whispered pressing his wife as close to him as he can, his large hands on her thighs. If he's cut out to be a good dad, then his angel is made for the role of a loving, dotting mother. "then it does not matter. I do not want it if it eez not vith you."

A tremor ran through the fairy as she felt North's warm breath against her neck.

She wanted a child. Their child, she wanted it just as much as North did, but if it wasn't possible then-

"Only you, my love." North says as if sensing his wife's thoughts. "Only you."

Slowly a smile forms on the fairy's face. "Thank you, love."

"Always." North says before he starts kissing her neck... Her weakness... Just a small trail of warm loving kisses down her feathered neck are enough for her to melt for him.

And only him.

"Nicholas.." The fairy breath hitches, small fragile hands cupping the man's rosy cheeks "We shouldn't..." They were emotional and this is Bunny's Warren not their bedroom. Despite her words her hands lowered themselves to different places...

-ROTG-

A couple of days after their day at the Warren it's time for their monthly guardian meeting. It starts of as any other meeting but then the moon appears in the night sky and the Man in the Moon has a special offer for the four guardians.

He, together with Father Time and the Angel of Destiny have found a way to reward the 'Big Four' for all the good that they have done in their time as guardians. This reward comes in the form of an offer.

The chance to become mortal. To lead normal lives. Something that seemed to foreign to the four.

Bunnymund would be turned human, he wouldn't have to continue on with the knowledge that he is the last of his kind.

Sandy to would be made human, he'd be able to talk like any other. No more charades and other guessing games for him.

And although their friend doesn't bring it up, both North and Tooth are aware that Manny is indirectly giving them the chance to start a family.

But there is no way that Bunny is willing to give up his pooka heritage. He takes too much pride in being, what the humans call 'the Easter Bunny'. He has hope to guard and he enjoys doing it.

Sandy's been creating and bringing dreams for as long he can remember and he doesn't know what he'd do if he could no longer do so. Frankly, he doesn't want to find out.

And North and Tooth are happy as long as they have each other. Bringing wonder to children is what North does best. No matter how much he wants to have a child of his own, he can not give his guardianship up.

The same goes for Toothiana who will forever guard the teeth and the most important memories of childhood.

Their jobs are important, too important and they are all devoted to the children of the world.

"Very well," They all hear Manny's response echo through their heads and although they cannot see him, they can almost feel the little man nodding. "By the way, thought you'd like to know, this decision would not have affected Nicholas' and Toothiana's personal destiny."

That confusing statement made all their heads snap upwards in surprise.

"What?" Tooth asks at the same time Sandy forms a question mark above his head.

But the moon disappears behind the clouds before they can be given a proper answer.

Not sure what to think Bunny looks at Toothiana, emerald eyes gazing at his friend's stomach. Could Manny mean... No way, not after so many failed attempts...

The Guardian of hope is almost afraid to hope.

Almost.

Bunny closes his eyes and sniffs the air. He smells the scent of mint, Russian vodka, paint, wood and all the other smells that are always present in the busy workshop. So the pooka decides to try something else.

His eyes are closed and his ears stand erect as Bunny searches for a new sound. It takes him a long while to drown out all the other natural workshop sounds, to ignore the jingle bells and working yeti, but he does it.

And then E. Aster Bunnymund hears it.

There are four heartbeats in this room. His own the loudest and quickest, North's and Tooth's. Sandy is a magical being made out of dreamsand- he has no heartbeat.

That left another- heartbeat.

Opening his eyes, emerald eyes that are wide with amazement, Bunny's goes slack-jawed. "Holy...-! By the stars!"

There's another heart beating in the room, a hearth beating incomplete sync with Tooth's own heartbeat.

"What?" North asks wanting to know what got the rabbit so very excited. The ex-bandit can feel the wonder radiating from his friend and he desperately wants to know what caused such pure wonder, such amazement.

"Don't ya get it?!" Bunny asks with the kind of excitement he only showed when talking about Easter.

Sandy frantically shakes his head forming yet another question mark above his head.

This time Bunny looks at Tooth. "Don't ya get it?!"

"Get what?" Tooth asks, a small laugh escaping her, the rabbit's excitement is contagious.

"Toothy," Bunny smiles at her, a soft caring smile. "yer pregnant."

That completely silences his companions.

North stands frozen, large arms hanging at his sides and his mouth is hanging open. Large blue eyes are shining with wonder.

"I'm... I'm pregnant." Tooth whispers, small hands moving to cover her mouth as if to hold back the choked happy sound that escaped her lips. She's so shocked she forgets to move her wings, but her husband catches her before she even realizes she's falling.

"Klasno!" North cheers holding Tooth up in the air and twirling around. "My angel!" He cried before bringing her closer to him.

The hug he gives her is different from the bonecrushing hugs North usually gives. It's the one that made Tooth call him a teddy bear in the first place. It's soft, gentle and oh so very grateful.

While Tooth cries silent tears of joy, Bunny claps and every once in a while yells the word 'Amazing' in the language of the pooka, and as Sandy makes dreamsand confetti fall, the Man in the Moon looks down at the guardians.

And if any human looked up at the sky at this moment, they would easily be able to distinguish the smiling face of the little man who lives up there.

Author: And that's why Tooth is so protective of Jack, because he's not only her Little Prince and her Sweet Tooth, but also her Little Miracle.

Cyber cupcakes for the one who guesses how Tooth got pregnant anyway despite not being to thanks to her and North's immortality.
