Chapter 31 - Rabbits

Callum drove us to his little house. It was the size if a cottage but very modern.

'Welcome to my humble home.' He announced. The first thing I noticed as we walked through the gate, was a rabbit hutch, acctually, more like a rabbit mansion. The hutch was absolutely huge.

'You have bunnies!' I ran over to the hutch. Dieter and Callum followed.

'Oh yeah! You haven't met them.' Callum said as he opened the pen. Freya patiently layed down near the door of the house. He gently picked up a grey rabbit with white patches. It violently kicked and scratched but as soon as Callum held it to his chest and hugged it, it was fine. He carefully handed the rabbit to Dieter.

'This is Las, she's a vicious queen but once she cuddled, she's an adorable baby. She also prefers the company of men, the tart.' He said as he turned to the hutch again. Dieter tickled Las between the ears. He brought out another rabbit. This one was white with grey patches.

'This is Vegas. He's Las's twin brother.' He giggled and glanced at me. '...and doesn't care about anything.' He was handed to me.

'Las and Vegas.' Dieter chuckled. 'Very clever.' He smiled. Callum smirked proudly and took out another rabbit who was all black. He held it with one hand.

'This is Chicago, he's the alpha of the group.' He rubbed his head with his thumb as he took out yet another rabbit who was white with black patches, like a cow.

'Then we have Florida. Who has the dad role.' He climbed up onto Callum's shoulder. Then Callum took out the final brown rabbit with his last free hand.

'And finally Cali who is quite shy.' She nuzzled into his side.

'So Las, Vegas, Chicago, Florida and Cali which I guess is short for California.' Dieter smiled as he cuddled Las.

'You guessed right.' Callum looked so calm surrounded by the rabbits. We used to have a hamster back in England that Callum would go stroke have when his ADHD got to much. When in school he always had to have something to fiddle with like a fidget spinner or a bouncy ball but Xander the hamster always used to calm him down the most. The rabbits hutch and pen were spotless, these rabbits were very important to Callum. I glanced at Freya to make sure she wasn't eyeing any of them, she couldn't care less and was napping.

'I guess Belle told you about the ADHD.' he turned to Dieter then started to put back the rabbits. Dieter nodded his head.

'Animals help don't they?' He asked.

'Nope. The fur. I didn't want a dog. I hate cats. Hamsters, gunnia pigs, rats and mice don't live long enough and I ain't about to have some animal die for it's fur so, rabbits!' He took Vegas from me hugged him before he put him back and then took Las from Dieter. We went back inside and Dieter went to the loo. I couldn't help but hug my brother. He hugged back with his big warm arms.

'I love you, so much.' I told him.

'I love you too Belle but not as much as I do now if you let the take out get cold.' He chuckled. I looked at him, he squeezed my hand and scattered off into the kitchen. Dieter came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

'Are you alright, lovley.' He said in a low voice. I felt the warmth of his breath on my neck which made me shiver. I turned to him and kissed him.

'Yes gummie, I'm fine.' I led him to the kitchen. The smell was incredible. Dieter had a curry, Callum had a pizza and I had a Chinese. We were munching happily when suddenly Callum's phone alarm went off.

'Ah! Exercise time!' He said as he got up. He pulled some gates out that are usually used to stop babies entering centain rooms or fall down the stairs. Then he opened a hatch on the wall and sat back down. We looked at him, confused. He chuckled and pointed a finger.

'Look.' He said. We turned and one by one the rabbits entered the house through the hatch, Chicago leading. They hopped about the living room for a bit. Then Bailey came through the door with River and Harper behind her.

'So this is where you all are!' She announced as her hand clasped to her hip.
