Rabbits

"HARRY!"

I scream at my husband from beside the bed.

Harry jerks up, eyes squinting

"Who, what, where, when, why?!"

His words shoot out in a frantic rush

"Ha!" I laugh at him and fall to my knees

"Come on, it's the day! It's finally the day! You've been going on about it forever! Get up, it opens in half an hour!"

Harry's face lights up

"Rabbits!"

I laugh and pull him out of bed

***********************************

We take a steamy shower together and get ourselves ready for the day.

I grab a granola bar and Harry slurps down a bowl of muesli

"Why don't we have a fry up some time?"

"No. I can't eat fatty, greasy foods, I'll get fat and won't be able to dance."

Harry sighs and puts his bowl neatly in the dishwasher. I grab his hand and pull him towards the lift.

"Which floor madam?"

"Ground please."

I smile at the good looking lift attendant and he winks back. Harry nudges me and glares.

When we reach the ground floor, Harry thanks the man and yanks me out of the lift.

"Don't smile at other guys like that! It makes me madly jealous!"

He reaches down and pecks my lips, a look of hurt on his beautiful face.

I giggle and pull his face to mine, our lips locked for just a second or two, then he pulls away.

"Get your hat and sunglasses on."

Harry passes me my disguise and puts on his

Sneaking out of the side door, we head towards the car and climb in.

I kiss Harry one last time and buckle up.

Harry sighs and flops back in his seat, not starting the car

"I want a kid."

"You're getting rabbits, now go."

Harry sighs one last time and turns the key.

***********************************

Half an hour later we are walking into the large Pets At Home store in central London

"Hi, how can I help?"

A young woman smiles

"We've reserved two Netherland Dwarf rabbits, we haven't chosen or seen them yet, but we're here to pick them up."

"Name and address please."

"Mr and Mrs. Styles, Riverside Flats, Penthouse, Central London."

The woman smiles again

"Which gender?"

"One of each, we plan to breed them."

"This way please."

We are led to a cage, much smaller than the one we have at home, where a section down the middle separates the boys and girls.

"Take your pick."

She opens the cage and the adorable bunnies sniff and lick our fingers when we reach down to pet them

After cuddling each and every bunny, Harry picks a black and white boy and a completely black girl

"That'll be £139.60 please"

We head out the door with the two buns safely secured in separate carriers to stop them from mating before we even get home.

***********************************

Harry tends to the bunnies as I get ready for ballet, it's a Sunday, so no kids class.

"Babe, since you have ballet and we got the rabbits, wanna skip church for today? Have an 'early night' if you know what I mean?"

I grin "Sure, whatever you say, but right now I've gotta go, see ya!"

I head out of the door and straight to ballet.
