Chapter 13: Surprises

Serena hurried down the trail toward the Town hall to pick up where she left off in her deliveries. Suddenly, Sylvester slithered out on the trail ahead of her.

“Hffoo Ferfena,” The snake said with his mouth full of a small, black velvet box.

“What’s that in your mouth?” Serena asked.

“Frr foo,” Sly said as he held out the box on his tongue.

“What’s this?” Serena asked as she took the box.

“I have behaved most perversely, Serena,” the snake said. “I committed a most heinous assault upon your person. I wish to apologize and make reparations. Please accept this token of my respect and say that you will marry me.”

Serena blinked in surprise at the Serpent’s proposal. She opened the box and her surprise turned to shock. She found, couched on a red velvet pillow within the box, a gold ring set with a diamond.

“I...Don’t know what to say...” was all Serena could manage. She was flattered to be sure, but to marry someone like sly. She could barely tolerate the-holier-than-thou serpent.

“Say yes, Serena. Let me protect your reputation and cleans my...My...” An odd look came over Sly as he flicked his tongue in her general direction and tasted the air.

“Y-your what?” Serena asked nervously as the situation began to take on an uncomfortably familiar tone.

“My honor...” Sly managed to finish as he began to sweat.

The snake suddenly wrapped his lower body around Serena’s legs and thighs. He flicked his tongue at her chest. Serena was at a complete loss as to Sly’s behavior. She absolutely knew that it couldn’t be the perfume, not after the thorough scrubbing she had given herself. Sylvester suddenly slipped his head up under her shirt.

“SYLVESTER!” She exclaimed as she felt the Snake snuggle between her breasts.

The snake’s head popped up through the neck hole of her shirt. Hearts swirled in his eyes and he was salivating heavily.

“S-s-s-s-ooo pretty,” He hissed dreamily.

Serena took hold of Sylvester where his body disappeared under the bottom of her shirt and pulled him out from under it.

“I’m sorry Sly,” Serena said genuinely. “I can’t stay right now. A-About your gift...I’ll have to think about it.”

“N-need to mate,” Sylvester said deliriously and he tightened his coils about her legs. “But... abstinence...Must...Control...Serena, please! I must mate with you but I mustn’t damage your reputation.”

“Please, Sly,” Serena said to the panicky Tattle snake. “I have to thi....”

Sylvester suddenly lunged forward and covered her mouth with his. His long forked tongue slipped past her lips and coiled about her tongue. Serena was taken completely off guard and couldn’t think of how to react any way other that numbed shock. Sly suddenly broke off the kiss and pulled back, a horrified expression on his face.

“What am I doing?!” he exclaimed as he trembled and sweat nervously.

Serena took advantage of Sylvester’s confusion and wiggle out of his snug coils like a tight pair of slacks.

“I’d better go,” Serena said quickly as she backed away from sly.

“No...My love...Wait!” Sylvester whimpered as he tried with some difficulty to slither after her. “I love only you!”

“I need time to think about the gift you’re offering me,” Serena pleaded.

Sylvester hissed and wailed miserably and coiled up into a tight ball. Serena felt terrible. She knelt down next to the miserable writhing mass of coils and lifted his head up. Sylvester tried in vain to smile as if nothing were wrong. Serena was about to try and offer some calming words when Sly suddenly grimaced. His coils clenched and a single squirt of serpent spooge shot out of the ball of coils to land on Serena’s leg.

“Nooo!” Sly wailed. “I’ve done it again! I’m not like this! I’m not some common pervert like the rest of them! I’m a decent, moral person.”

“Please, sly,” Serena pleaded. “It’s okay. I promise I’ll think about your lovely gift. I just need a little time.”

Sylvester sniffed and looked longingly at Serena, seeming to calm down a little.

“All...All right, Serena, my love,” He managed to stammer. “I’ll await your answer on pins and needles.”

Serena stood up and turned to go. She threw a last look at the Tattle snake as it fought not to follow her. She sighed sadly and hurried off. A short way down the trail she paused and sniffed at herself. Sure enough, she detected the rosy scent of the enchanted perfume.

“I don’t understand,” She said to herself. “I could have sworn I had it all washed off. I’ll just get these last two invitations delivered and hurry home. I’ll figure something out there.”

Serena hurried to the Rutwell Forest town hall. She paused to steel her resolve before going inside the building. The reception room was unoccupied save for a row of chairs, a filing cabinet and a desk. There were two doors other than the one she had come in through. One was labeled “Meeting Hall”, the said simply “PREZ”, Next to the desk was a familiar carpet bag with the legend, “Donna’s Delights”. She could hear some muffled sounds from beyond the door marked “Prez”. She listened closer and heard muffled moaning and panting.

“Oh my,” she said to herself. “I’d better not disturb them.”

She went over to the desk and set the two invitations for Prez and Donna on the desk. She was just beginning to believe that she would get away clean when she heard the “Prez” door open and close behind her.

“Oh, Serena!” Donna said cheerily. “Hello.”

“Oh,” Serena said, turning around. “Hi, Donna.”

Donna had paused in front of the door, her skirt hiked up while she adjusted her panties. That done, she smoothed down her skirt and went over to her desk.

“What brings you to Town Hall?” The deer asked.

“Oh, just dropping off a couple of things,” Serena said. “There on the desk.”

Donna picked up the envelope addressed to her and opened it up.

“Your party,” She smiled eagerly. “Of course I’ll come...Hopefully several times.”

“Oh it’s just going to be the one party,” Serena smiled cluelessly.

“Have you met Prez, yet?” Donna smiled.

“Uh, no,” Serena said quickly, hoping she could avoid meeting another male fur. “But I don’t think I should right now. I...uh...Have some work to do. Just give him the invitation. I hope you both can make it.”

“Oh every day, dear,” Donna smiled wryly. “Every day.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll deliver the invite...And thank you.”

Serena turned to hurry out. At the same moment, Prez, an American Bald Eagle with a yellow badge bearing his name, stepped out of his office.

“Well hello there!” Prez said with an easy smile as he walked quickly over to Serena and shook her hand vigorously. “I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure...”

Serena smiled nervously, dreading what she knew was going to happen next.

“The name’s Prez,” the Eagle said with practiced ease. “I’m the President of the Rutwell Forest Resident’s Association. I’m so glad to meet you miss...uh....”

“Serena...Serena Kitty.”

“Such a pretty name for such a pretty fur,” Prez shmoozed as he draped a wing over her shoulder. “I really have been remiss about introducing myself sooner.”

Serena giggled in spite of her predicament as the politician kissed her hand and brushed his wing tip feathers on her arm. The eagle began tracing kisses up her arm as he spoke.

“I try to get to know all the residents of the forest,” he said between kisses. “After all, it’s my job as president of the Resident’s Association to service...I mean serve them all.”

“Ummm...That’s nice....” Serena said nervously.

“I have to get to know their wants,” Prez said as he kissed her cheek, his voice taking on a distracted, dreamy tone. “I have to get to know their needs.”

The feather tips of the wing draped over her shoulder brushed lightly over Serena’s breasts. She felt a jolt of fear shoot through her. She wasn’t afraid of being intimate with Prez, but she knew that, at least partly, the perfume was affecting him and that she would end up hurting his feelings.

“P-please, sir,” Serena tried in vain to wiggle free of the situation. “I j-just came by to deliver something.”

“And I am here to receive,” Prez smiled as he gazed into her eyes through heart shaped pupils and hugged her closely. “Is there anything you need, Miss Kitty? Anything I can possibly do for your... satisfaction?”

Serena felt Prez caressing her back lightly with his wing tip feathers. She found herself enjoying the feeling and reminded herself that she had to stop this.

“No,” she said quickly. “I just hope to see you and Donna at my party.”

“I will most certainly attend, miss Kitty,” Prez sighed dreamily. “But are you sure there isn’t any special need I can...Fill? I am at your command.”

Serena felt Prez’s wing tip brush across the base of her tail. A shiver of warm desire washed through her. She told herself that she couldn’t give in. That she’d only end up hurting him.

“Y-yes...I’m sure,” She managed to say.

“You don’t sound sure,” Prez said with a seductive smile as he continued to brush her ‘trigger spot’.

“I’m s-sure,” she said.

She shivered as she fought against her body’s desire to mate. She felt her juices flowing, her heart pounding, her resolve crumbling. Prez continued to brush her spot with one wing tip and caressed her thigh with the other. He playfully kissed her nose.

“I can assure you, dear Serena,” Prez said dreamily. “I will do whatever it takes to satisfy you.”

Serena clamped her thighs together as her juices began to soak into her panties and shorts. She panted softly as her need rose to overwhelm her. Prez kissed her deeply and passionately. The last of her resolve melted away and she returned his kiss, wrapping her arms around his waist.

“Please hold my calls, miss Doe,” Prez said over his shoulder before returning to kissing Serena.

He reached around to her front and unsnapped her shorts while Serena purred and passionately returned his kiss. He let her shorts fall about her ankles and lightly brushed his wing tip feathers over her panty covered mons.

“I try to take my responsibilities seriously,” Prez said as he slipped his wing tips under the waistband of her panties and started to slowly lower them. “Like the politicians handbook says, you must be ready to screw the people at all times.”

“S-screw?” Serena panted softly as Prez lightly caressed her bared backside.

“Of course, my love,” Prez said as he knelt down and lowered her panties to her ankles. “And as often as possible.”

He kissed her fuzzy mound and then stood up, moving around behind her. He pecked lightly at her neck as he ran his wing tips up and down her body, over her breasts and belly, pussy and thighs.

“Mmmmm, oh yeah,” Serena moaned softly.

Prez leaned her toward Donna’s desk. Serena felt him lay his hard shaft against the base of her tail. All rational thought was gone from her mind. She needed to mate. Her lubricating love juices dripped from her love tunnel in eager anticipation.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in, my love?” Prez asked as he cupped and kneaded her breasts.

“P-please...” Serena moaned urgently.

She felt the head of his shaft press against her slit, then push in to the slick, wet entrance to her love tunnel. She felt it push into her so slowly, gradually filling her hot, tight cunny. Prez continued playing with her breasts as he began to slowly stroke his lover’s tool within her. Serena moaned and panted as Prez slowly humped her.

Across the desk from Serena, Donna had shucked her panties and raised her skirt, propping her feet up on the edge of the desk. Her knees were lewdly spread in front of Serena, who was too involved in her own need to notice. Donna rubbed and played with her pussy with one hand, watching with relish as her employer and Serena enjoyed their long slow mating. The other hand rummaged blindly through her carpet bag. At length she drew out a large, green, knobbed, shark headed vibrator. She quickly turned it on high and plunged it into pussy.

Meanwhile, Prez began to quicken his pace. Serena felt the eagle clutch carefully at one calf with his taloned claw then at the other calf with the other claw, climbing on her to get a better angle on the situation...Truly riding her. His thrusting became more forceful and pushed deeper into her.

“Serena...My love,” he moaned as he neared release. His claws gripped her legs tightly.

Serena moaned loudly as the tingling in her pussy exploded outward into her belly and thighs. As her cunny gripped his shaft, Prez erupted within her, spewing his hot, thick, sticky seed into her belly. Across from Serena, Donna pumped the Vibrator in her pussy with vigor Turned on to no end to watch her boss spill his seed into Serena. She Came only moments after Prez and Serena, moaning and Whimpering in pleasure.

Serena heard Donna cumming and looked up, straight into the deer’s pussy as she extracted the vibrator. The sight jolted her back to her senses. She realized that Donna had been watching and stood up quickly, blushing in embarrassment and dumping Prez.

“That was so beautiful, Serena,” Donna said with a bright, lusty grin.

Serena was too flustered to respond. She quickly pulled up her panties and shorts. Prez got quickly to his feet and was at her side, caressing her belly and nuzzling her cheek.

“Was I all right, My love?” Prez asked dreamily.

“Ummm, yeah,” Serena said quickly.

She had enjoyed mating with Prez, but she was still embarrassed and worried about how to get away with out hurting him.

“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude,” Serena said, deciding a quick exit would be best. “But I have a few more deliveries to make and some work for the party to do. Bye.”

Serena rushed out of the town hall building and sprinted through the forest. She reached her home in short order, panting and tired, but grateful that she had not run across any more males. She ducked into her house and slammed the door, leaning wearily against it.

“Hey, Serena,” came a groggy voice from her couch. “What’s up?”

Serena’s heart sank to her stomach as she turned to find Randy just sitting up on the couch looking as if he had just woke up.

“uhhh...How did I get here?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” Serena said a little shortly as she rushed toward her bedroom.

She certainly did not want to deal with any more love sick males. She set the Sylvester’s gift on the table and disappeared into her room. She turned to close her door to find Randy standing in the doorway, hearts in his eyes.

“Serena, my love!”

“Oh no you don’t!” Serena said testily as she pushed Randy out of the room.

She slammed and locked her bedroom door.

“But...My love!” Randy called.

“Oh Sugah Bun!” came a southern sing song voice from the front door.

Randy shook his head and turned to find Binky poking her head in the front door with a seductive smile on her muzzle.

“What...What was I...Oh hi, Binky!”

“Hello, Randy,” Binky replied as she winked at Joy who stood outside snickering softly.

“Hey, Binky,” Randy asked, looking about Serena’s living room. “H-how did I get here?”

“Ah imagine y’all came ovah ta see me,” Binky said. “So tell me...Y’all still wan’ta be th’ fathah of mah fawns?”

“WHAT!!??” Randy said in a completely shocked state. “Wh-when d-did I say that!??”

“Two weeks ago,” Binky said with a coy smile. All day long while y’all was fillin’ mah belly with your seed.”

“All d-day? Two w-weeks ago??”

“Y’all proposed and everythang, you silly li’l thang you. Y’all proposed an’ Ah accepted.”

“Accepted?” Randy said, now thoroughly confused and sweating nervously. “We...We’re engaged?”

“Ah even started fixin’ up th’ burrow for all th’ youngins we’re gonna be havin’.”

“Y-youngins?!” Randy sputtered starting to look a little green in the cheeks. “I...But...But I....”

“Ah reckon we’ll be havin’ around seven this littah...Maybe even ten!”

Outside Joy was rolling on the ground, one hand covering her mouth to stifle her laughter, the other holding her aching side.

“Th-th-this littler?” Randy squeaked. “B-b-but you...you’re not pr-pr-pr-pr....”

Binky stepped out from behind the door and into the room, and leaned against the door frame, her bulging belly thrust out to enhance it’s profile. She smiled shyly and lightly pat her tummy.

“Well, Ah hope y’all don’t thahnk Ah got this way from those pickles an’ carrot ice cream y’all been feedin’ me.

“GHAAAAA!!!”

Randy’s eyes popped out, his jaw hit the floor and steam poured from his ears.

“Ah kin hardly wait fuh th’ li’l youngins ta come,” Binky said, with a coy smile and a shy blush on her cheeks. “Y’all is gonna be a big daddy.”

“Buh, buh, buh, but how...?” Randy asked. “Joy is going to kill me!”

Right on cue, Joy strode into the room as if she had just come up to the house.

“Hey, Binky,” she said. Have you seen...Oh WOW! Look at you!”

“Yeah,” Binky said as she rubbed her belly. “Ahm gonna be a Momma.”

“You look gorgeous, Binky,” Joy gushed. “Who’s the lucky daddy?”

Randy squeaked in mortal terror and looked about in panic for a place to hide.

“Whah none othah by than Randy!” Binky said cheerfully gesturing toward the confused and terrified buck. ”He’s so proud. Just look at him jumping for joy.”

Randy froze like an animal caught in a set of headlights. He smiled weakly at Joy, sweat pouring off his head.

“Randy?!” Joy said in surprise. Then turning to mild anger, “Why you lecherous, cheating, stud-bunny!”

Randy swallowed hard, his life flashing before his eyes.

“Now Joy,” Binky said pleasantly. “We all don’t want mah li’l ones ta grow up without a poppa, do we?”

“Oh don’t get me wrong,” Joy said with a scathing, sideways look at Randy. “I’m happy for you both. It’ll be good to see Mr. Randy Rabbit tied down. I’m sure he’ll be a terrific father.”

“B-b-but I d-d-don’t...” Randy stammered.

“Oh you big silly,” Binky chuckled.

“Hey,” Joy chastised Randy. “No backing out on your responsibilities, Mr. Bunny. She’s carryin’ a belly full of your fawns, buster!”

Randy’s eyes rolled up into his head and he passed out in a heap on the floor. Joy and Binky burst out laughing and holding onto each other. After several minutes, Joy paused to wipe a tear from her eye and look upon the unconscious buck.

“Maybe we should pick him up off the floor,” Joy giggled.

“Y’all think so?” Binky chuckled.

“Well, we wouldn’t want anyone ta trip over him,” Joy said.

“True,” Binky agreed. “How long do you think we should keep this up?”

“Welll, we don’t want to be cruel about it.”

“Three mo’ days?” Binky suggested.

“I think we might be able to pull it off for three more days,” Joy agreed.

“Three mo’ days it is, then,” Binky said.

The two does dragged Randy over to the couch and gently lay him up on it.

It’s safe now, Serena,” Binky called out to her friend. “Lovah boy has passed out.”

Serena stepped out of the bedroom grumbling to herself and straightening out a fresh shirt.

“I can’t believe I put the same shirt back on after I showered. No wonder they were all still... Oh Hi, Joy...Hi...Oh my...Binky!”

“How do you like Binky’s new look?” Joy asked as Binky Posed to show off her “condition”

“What happened?!” Serena asked.

“I cannot tell a lie,” Joy said with a broad grin. “I got Binky pregnant. Didn’t I Binky?”

“Yeah,” Binky confirmed.

“Bet ya didn’t know that could happen here in Rutwell, did ya?”

“Uhhh...no,” Serena said, looking in disbelief at just how pregnant Binky seemed.

Under normal circumstances, Serena would not have believed her eyes. But after living in Rutwell Forest the last few months, nothing seemed too far fetched anymore. She suddenly thought about Monica and Martin and herself.

“Yup,” Joy said cheerily. “Of course, you don’t have anything to worry about.”

“Wh-why not?” Serena said, still trying to wrap her mind around one female being able to get another female pregnant.

“Well,” Joy said, trying not to giggle as she led Serena on. “You don’t like to play with other girls. So all you have to worry about is the boys.”

“I don’t understand,” Serena admitted.

“You mean martin hasn’t made that ol’ magic in your belly yet?” Joy asked, patting Serena’s stomach.

“No,” Serena said looking down at her belly and blushing shyly. “Not yet.”

“I can arrange it,” Joy said with a sly smile and a wink at Binky.

Binky giggled.

“I’d like to someday,” Serena said with a shy smile. “But I don’t think Martin would want them... At least not yet.”

“Got a pillow?” Joy whispered seductively in Serena’s ear.

“Huh?” Serena said. “What has that got to do with anything?”

“Have you got a pillow?” Joy chuckled. “Like the one Binky’s wearing!”

“A pillow...?” Serena huffed, realizing she’d been had.

Serena threw the giggling bunnies a scathing glare then went to the table and snatched up Sylvester’s box.

“What’s this?” Joy asked as she snatched the box away from Serena.

“No!” Serena said quickly as she snatched it back.

“What is it?” Joy asked.

“It’s nothing,” Serena said, holding the box behind her so Joy couldn’t grab it again.

“Aw, c’mon, Serena,” Joy pleaded. “We’re all girls here. What’s in the box?”

“It’s nothing,” Serena repeated Backing away from Joy. “Just a box.”

“Are we gonna take that for an answer, Binky?” Joy asked with a conspiratorial smile.

“Heck, no,” Binky grinned and joined Joy in backing Serena up.

“It is not any of your concern,” Serena said as she backed against the wall. “It’s nothing... Really!”

“Well, if you’d really rather not share with your friends...” Joy pouted.

Serena bit her lip, and looked to the side as she wrestled with her conscience. At that moment, Binky lunged forward and grabbed the box away.

“Got it!” She grinned triumphantly as she hopped across the living room.

“Hey!” Serena protested as she gave chase.

Binky hopped about, nimbly avoiding Serena while Joy provided interference. Serena finally tripped and fell to her knees.

“Now let’s see whot she’s hidin’,” Binky said while Joy went over to help Serena up.

Binky opened the box and looked inside. Her eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.

“What is it, Binky?” Joy asked.

Binky couldn’t answer. Joy hopped over to look for herself. She, too, was taken aback.

“Oh my goodness,” she exclaimed. “Serena, did Martin give you this?”

“No,” Serena said in embarrassed anger as she snatched the box back and held it tightly. “Sly did.”

“SYLVESTER!!??” Joy said, bursting out laughing. “That’s a good one, Serena. I thought for a minute you were serious! Now come on...What eligible male did you get yourself engaged to?”

“I’m not joking,” Serena said in a dead serious tone, clutching the box even tighter.

“Y-you’re not kidding?” Joy asked.

“No,” Serena said flatly. “But I’m not engaged. Sly proposed but I didn’t give him and answer. I’m just holding onto it until that damned perfume spell wears off him.”

“Whew!” Joy breathed a sigh of relief. “For a minute there, I thought you’d lost your mind.”

Serena set the box back down on the table and Sat down. The day’s events had really begun to get to her and she just felt tired all over. On the couch, Randy groaned and stirred.

“Uh oh,” Binky smiled. “Show time.”

Binky eyed the box on the table.

“Y’all mahnd If Ah borrow this a minute?” She asked Serena.

“I don’t care,” Serena said a little testily.

Binky quickly slipped the ring on the middle finger of her left hand. Randy got up from the couch and came over to the table a bit unsteadily.

“H-hi ladies,” Randy said trying to focus. “That was really some drea...Ghaaaa!!”

Catching sight of Binky and her “extra padding” snapped Randy back to full consciousness. He leapt behind Serena.

“Whot’s the mattah, sugah bun?” Binky smiled, laying her left hand across her belly and flashing the ring.

“You really are p-p-p-p-p...And where did you get that ring?”

“Whah from you, silly”

“Then we’re....”

“Uh huh,” Binky said with a grin.

“I don’t understand,” Randy muttered. “What did I do?”

“What do you think you did?” Serena said, pointing at Binky’s belly.

Randy took a deep breath. He walked over to Binky and looked deeply and lovingly into her eyes. He Kissed her tenderly on the lips.

“I’ll hop home and get my place fixed up,” Randy said in a tender, serious voice.

“Huh?” Binky said, taken completely by surprise at Randy’s reaction. “Wh-what fuh?”

“So there’ll be room for our fawns,” Randy said looking down at Binky ‘condition’. “Wh-what day did we set for the wedding?”

“Errr, we haven’t yet,” Binky said looking at Joy who was just as surprised as herself.

“Then I’ll talk to Prez too.” Randy said. “Would the day after tomorrow be too soon?”

“Isn’t that a li’l soon?” Binky asked.

Randy looked down at Binkys belly then up into her eyes. “Nope.”

He turned to Joy and gave her a tender peck on the cheek.

I’m sorry, Joy,” he said. “I love you too, but like you said. I have responsibilities now.”

Randy walked to the front door and stepped outside, leaving the two rabbit does in a complete state of speechless shock. Serena wasn’t sure but she had the feeling that the practical jokers had just got a whole lot more than they bargained for.

“He...He...He...” the two bunnies turned to each other and almost chanted in unison.

“Snap out of it, you two!” Serena said sternly as she lightly slapped their faces.

“I think we went too far!” Joy said.

“Ah agree,” Binky said. “Now whot?”

“We gotta stop him before he starts talking,” Joy said as she started for the door.

“He’ll hate us both,” Binky said, suddenly feeling miserable. “Maybe he could Marry us both. Y’all could say that y’all was pregnant too.”

“I don’t want him that way,” Joy said quickly. “It would be cheating. You heard him...He loves me. And I just ruined it!”

“Joy, wait!” Binky said as she pulled the pillow from under her shirt and hurrying after Joy. “Ah’m going with you. We started this togethah...We’ll finish it togethah.”

The two bunnies hopped off in the direction of Randy’s burrow. They quickly over took Randy who was walking slowly along the trail. Joy and Binky called out to him. Randy stopped but didn’t turn around.

“We...We have something to tell you,” Joy panted breathlessly.

“I’m sorry, Joy,” Randy said solemnly. I don’t know what else to say.”

“But Randy....”

“I got Binky pregnant,” Randy continued. “I should be there for our fawns. I’m sorry things didn’t work out for us.”

“But Randy,” Binky said. “That’s whot she’s trying to tell y’all.”

“There’s nothing to say, Binky,” Randy said. “I love you and I’ll love our fawns. I’ll try to be a good husband and father.”

“How can y’all stay with someone yuh don’t love?” Binky said. “That doesn’t make sense!”

“But I do love you, Binky,” Randy said. Remember when I said that a doe’s first time should be special?”

“Whot has that got to do with anything?” Binky asked.

“It should be with someone who loves her...Some one who will make it good and special. I wanted it to be good and special for you.”

Just when Binky thought she couldn’t feel and worse, she found new depths of dispair.

“Yeah?” Binky said, choking back her tears. “Well y’all are probably gonna hate me aftahward...”

“I could never hate the mother of my fawns,” Randy said.

“That’s the thang,” Binky said. She took a deep breath to steady herself and let it out slowly. “Ah’m not pregnant. At least ah don’t think so.”

Randy spun around and looked in disbelief at Binky’s now normal sized belly.

“But you were...Your belly was...And you said...!”

Binky couldn’t meet Randy’s gaze and stared at the ground tracing circles in the dirt with her toe.

“It wasn’t her fault, Randy,” Joy interjected. “It was my idea. Sort of a little payback for your trying so hard to get her pregnant and marry her when you were under the influence of Cleo’s perfume.”

Randy frowned and continued to sputter.

“You mean I almost...and she wasn’t...You weren’t?!”

“Don’t be mad, Randy,” Joy pleaded.

“Ah’m sorrah!” Binky sobbed, her tears spilling from her eyes. “Ah caused enough trouble!”

Binky turned and started running into the woods. Joy hopped after her and caught her by the arm.

“Binky wait!” Joy said. “It wasn’t your fault. I’m sure we can make it up to him.”

“No...” Binky sobbed. “Ah should have got involved in th’ fuhst place. Ah’ve caused enough problems! Tomorrah Ah’m going back to where Ah come from!”

Binky broke free and hopped off into the trees. Joy called after Binky, but quickly lost sight of her.
