The New Arrivals

This is part two of Mr Dot Arrives at K. C. Bunnyborough

 

The next day at school Mrs Know tells the class that she is pregnant and when her baby rabbit is born Mr Know will be the relieving teacher for a month and then she will resume her teaching duties.

 

That night after tea Mrs Know tells Mr Know that she feels tired and is going to bed early.  Mr Know scratches his ears in wonder as he too is tired and his thoughts have been on the news they received yesterday about the expectant baby rabbit which is due in a few weeks’ time.

 

During the night Clematis tosses and turns in bed and Mr Know is getting worried.  He hasn’t been an expectant father before and just doesn’t know what to expect.  Clematis lets out a dull groan and says I think the baby is coming. 
Mr Know jumps out of bed and says he will take her to K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre. He asks if she will be able to get on the bike to be taken. She groans again and says no. Mr Know says he will go and borrow Grandfather Cottontail’s car to take her.

 

Mr Know hops to Grandfather Cottontail’s caravan and asks him if he can borrow his car to take Clematis to K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre. Grandfather Cottontail looks at the state he is in and says he will drive them to K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre. Grandmother Cottontail offers to come also to be a support to Clematis but Grandfather Cottontail tells her to say home and that she will be a help when Clematis comes home.

 

When Mr Know and Grandfather Cottontail arrive at Mr Knows home they carry Clematis to the car and put her on the back seat of the car to take her to K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre. 

Nurse Emily is waiting for them when they arrive because word has reached her that they are coming. She is concerned at Clematis's state because it is too early for the baby to be born yet!

They carry her inside and Nurse Emily tells Mr Know and Grandfather Cottontail to wait in the ward, (there are no rabbits in the ward at the moment), while she examines Clematis in the consulting room.Mr Know loves Clematis very much  and is anxious  as he  paces up and down the ward waiting for Nurse Emily to come out of the consultant room.

 

Fifty-five minutes later Grandfather Cottontail is trying to get him to sit down when Nurse Emily comes in and tells Mr Know he is now the father to twins, a baby male and female. 

The baby rabbits are premature and have to have oxygen so they will be in an incubator to help them breathe and  free from germs and keep them warm because they haven’t got any fur.

Mr Know goes over and gives Mrs Know a big cuddle and kiss now that he is allowed in the room after the birth of their twins. 

 

 They are in awe of their dear little rabbit twins that have just been born. 

 

Nurse Emily has invited Mr Know to stay the night to be supportive to Mrs Know and they can be close to their twins. 

Grandfather Cottontail congratulates Mr and Mrs Know on the birth of their twins and says farewell  before he leaves to drive home to his caravan.

 

 

 

Mr Dot Arrives at K. C. Bunnyborough

Mr Dot is feeling very happy as he pedals towards K. C. Bunnyborough.  He enjoyed meeting Dental Nurse Flo and Rosemary yesterday and to hear that his daughter, Ingrid, is living at K. C. Bunnyborough. The news gave him peace to know she is safe.

Mr Dot is thinking about having a break when he sees what looks like the top part of an egg on the ground in the distance.  He decides to pedal towards it and stop there for a break.  Mr Dot sees an arched hole in the egg so he gets off his bike and hops over to have a closer look.

 

Inside the moa egg shell house Mr Know is making a cup of tea when he hears a noise outside.  He gets up to investigate and he sees Mr Dot at the doorway of his home.  Mr Dot introduces himself and tells Mr Know he is going to K. C. Bunnyborough to find his daughter. Mr Know invites him to sit down and have a cup of tea with him. 

Mr Know tells Mr Dot he is on the residents committee of K. C. Bunnyborough and that he will be leaving soon to go and pick up his wife from K. C. Bunnyborough School.  He tells Mr Dot that he can follow him to K. C. Bunnyborough and he will introduce him to Mr and Mrs Grayson where he will be able to stay a few nights while he makes his decision whether he wants to stay as a resident of K. C. Bunnyborough.

 

 Mr Dot accepts the offer to follow Mr Know to Mr and Mrs Grayson home. When they arrive at Mr and Mrs Grayson's home Mr Know introduces Mr Dot to them and he leaves and goes and picks up his wife, Clematis, from the school.They are going to K. C. Bunnyborough Medical Centre before they go home because the result of Clematis's test has arrived.
 

 

  Nurse Emily invites them in so she can tell Clematis that the result of her test is positive… she is pregnant! “What!”exclaims Clematis as she faints with shock.  The news causes Mr Know to start shaking.  Even though they have been married for about six months the possibility of them having any babies was far from their minds because they both thought they were too old.  Mr Know in human years is over 50 years old and Clematis is over 40 years old.

 They go home, still in a daze. They talk late into the night of how an addition to the family will be a challenge to them both and happily fall asleep.

 

Ingrid comes home from school and sees her father’s bike outside the Grayson home. She hops up the steps apprehensive to her father’s reaction to see her again because she did run away from home with her boyfriend.

 

Ingrid’s father is so happy to see her he gives her a big hug and all is forgiven. He tells her he wants to apply to the K. C. Bunnyborough committee to set up a Pizza Parlour here.
