Bonnie gasped. Could it be real? Their band, the Harey Hares, getting so popular that they were already receiving calls from famous recorders?
"A-are you sure this is real?" Bonnie asked.
"Well, I think it is. They sent this and also called, so yeah!" Harry said, looking happy. Bonnie and Rocky looked at each other with an excited expression. The Harey Hares cheered happily.
"Also, they asked us to show up in their studio today, at 4. We have some time for a rehearsal and to go home and get ready" Harry explained, the others nodded and they started playing, very excited.
After the rehearsal, they all went home. Bonnie was walking happily. When he got home, he saw Connie in there, waiting in front of the door.
"Hi Connie! How are you?" He greet her, kissing her gently on the cheek.
"Bonnie-kun... I have something to tell you..." She said, in a weird tone. Bonnie couldn't figure it out. It was a mix of excited with worried.
"Huh? what is it? Are you ok?" He asked, getting a little worried.
"B-Bonnie-kun... I found out something..."
"What?! What is it?! You're starting to scare me" Bonnie said, worried.
"I... I am pregnant"
Bonnie had no words. He looked at her, while she looked at him. Then looked at her belly. It had been 3 months since the first show. Was she pregnant for 3 months? Bonnie, not knowing what to do, hugged her.
"T-this... This is... Wonderful!" He said, hugging her harder.
"B-Bonnie-kun... We are 17... What are you going to do?" She asked, worried.
"Actually, we're turning 18 this year, so there is no problem... And also, money is no problem, specially now" He said, smiling to relieve her.
"What do you mean no problem?" She looked confused.
"The band just got a call from a big recorder! And they said we'll be going on a world tour!" Bonnie said excited. Connie smiled, looking relieved. She kissed Bonnie.
"What a relieve! I am so happy to be a mother, Bonnie-kun" The pink bunny said. Bonnie hugged her again.
"I am happy too... I... I want to be with you when the baby is born! I will be there with you, ok? I promise!" Bonnie said, holding her.
Some time later, Bonnie went out to meet his band mates. He looked really happy. He saw his friends waiting for him in front of the building.
"Hey Bonnie, why did you take so long?" Asked Rocky.
"Hey guys! I gotta tell you something..." Before Bonnie could say anything, Harry started pushing his friends inside the building.
"Ok, you tell us later! We're one minute late!" Harry said, smiling nervously and sweating. They got in the office, in a private room with a wooden table. There was someone waiting for them there, on a big leather chair. He turned to them, spinning the chair. It was a black bear using a fancy suit, with a red tie. He cleaned his throat.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen" He greet the Harey Hares. Harry was still sweating, nervous. Rocky smiled happily. Bonnie couldn't stop thinking about Connie.
"Good afternoon" They responded all at once.
"Well, you might already know why we were interested in you" Said the bear, in a calm tone. The Harey Hares nodded.
"Very well, so our idea is to make a contract for an album and a year long world tour" He said, pulling some papers from under the desk.
"These are our terms. You have to sign here" He pointed in the paper.
"Wait... A year long tour?" Bonnie asked.
"Well yes! We will record a live album" The bear said, looking confused at Bonnie's reaction.
"What's wrong Bonnie?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, you're acting weird" Rocky said.
"Guys... I had something to tell you... Connie is pregnant..." Bonnie said in a low voice for only them to hear. Harry and Rocky opened their eyes wide.
"And if that tour really take that long I won't be able to see my child be born!" Bonnie looked worried.
"B-but... A world tour, an album... We're gonna be famous, Bonnie, you always wanted that!" Harry said. Bonnie looked down, covering his face.
"...No..." Bonnie said, in a sad tone.
"What do you mean no? Asked Harry, looking a litlle shocked.
"Ahem, Gentlemen, I don't have much tine, you have to decide the sooner possible" The bear said, looking concerned.
"I'm sorry, mister, but I can't accept to do this... But I won't stop my friends from finding another guitarist" Bonnie said in a serious tone.
"I'm... Sorry, Mr. Jovi, but the contract is supposed to be closed until tomorrow, so there is no enough time for them to search for another guitarist" Explained the bear.
"Yeah, and we couldn't anyway! You're the best, Bonnie! We can't replace you!" Rocky said to Bonnie, in a caring, but sad tone.
"I'm sorry... It's my family..." Bonnie said, walking away.
"Bonnie! Please! Don't! We'll lose our big chance! What are the odds that'll happen again?!" Harry asked, running after Bonnie. The purple bunny looked down.
"I'm sorry Harry... I can't... I promised Connie I would be there with her when the baby was born..." Bonnie kept walking. Harry couldn't think of anything.
Later, Bonnie went back home.
"Y-you refused?!" Connie gasped surprised.
"I could not. Not after the promise I made you" Bonnie explained, still in that serious tone.
"B-but... How are you going to make money? We'll have a baby to take care of!" Connie looked worried. Suddenly Bonnie hugged her.
"I will find a way. We will have a house of our own. I will never let this child starve, or be cold. I promise you!" Bonnie said, in a determined tone. His eyes shone. Connie took some time to react. Somehow Bonnie made her feel protected. She knew he would keep his promise. She hugged him back. A tear came from her eye.
"I... I believe you... We will find a way" She said, also determined.
Connie and Bonnie started looking for jobs. Connie managed to get Bonnie and herself working at the same company as her father. being indicated by him to his boss. Their job, even being a small one, was enough for the bunnies to raise the child. They even got help from Connie's father, who didn't want his grandchild to be raised poorly. With his help, they could buy a house of their own in the USA. Both Bonnie and Connie worked extra hours, always wanting more money, always thinking about the child.
One day, Bonnie took Connie to the doctor, her belly was getting bigger. They went to make an ultrasound exam on her. She looked a little nervous. Bonnie held her hand and smiled at her. Connie smiled too, now feeling confident.
After the test.
"Hmm... The baby is very healthy... It will be a little girl" Said the doctor. Bonnie and Connie looked happy.
As they were walking back home, Connie started talking.
"How will we name her, Bonnie-kun?"
"I don't know... Do you have any ideas?" He asked, smiling.
"...Sakura...?"
"That's a little too cliche" Bonnie joked.
"Why don't we name her something like our names? Bonnie, Connie... Honey" He asked, smiling.
"Um... I liked my idea better..." Connie rolled her eyes. She kissed Bonnie's cheek, who smiled.
Months later...
Bonnie came home from his job, sitting on the couch and letting out a tired sigh.
"B-big bwother..." Toy Bonnie came from inside the house, looking worried.
"Hmm? What happened?" Bonnie asked, not paying much attention.
"C-Connie... She hurt..." He said in a low voice. He was scared. Bonnie opened his eyes wide.
"Why didn't you call me?!" He asked.
"She hurt now. She asked call doctor" He said, still worried. Bonnie ran to the room. Connie was lying on the bed, in pain, with her hands on her belly.
"B-Bonnie-kun... The baby..." She stuttered, in a low voice.
"I will take you to the hospital!" Bonnie said, lifting her.
All the three bunnies left the house in a hurry. Bonnie didn't have a car, so they were forced to go by foot. Bonnie carried her on his arms. A determined expression on his face. Toy Bonnie ran after him. They finally got to the hospital. The doctors started working on Connie. Bonnie and Toy Bonnie sat outside of the operation room. Bonnie didn't say a word.
"Connie ok?" Asked Toy Bonnie, looking worried, in all his naiveness of a four-year-old child. Bonnie didn't respond. He looked intensely at... Something, but he did with conviction.
Several hours later.
Toy Bonnie fell asleep. He was bored. Bonni began walking around in circles, nervous.
Finally, a surgeon opened the door. Bonnie opened his eyes wide.
"Doctor! How is she?!" Bonnie asked. The surgeon looked at the floor with a sad face. Bonnie understood quickly.
"N-no! No!" Bonnie ran inside the operation room desperately. He could see Connie's eyes open.
"Connie!" He yelled. She looked at him.
"This... Is... Our... Honey..." She smiled. Bonnie then noticed she had something on her arms. He opened up the towel used to wrap something. A tiny purplish blue bunny. His daughter.
"Honey... it's a good... Name..." She was having trouble speaking. Bonnie's eyes were filled with tears.
"I... love... you... Bonnie-kun..." She slowly closed her eyes. The long beep of the medical equipment played.
"N-No! NO! CONNIE! CONNIEEEE!"
