The months passed as Butch and Buttercup settled down into married life. They were still living at Mojo’s old place with the boys. Although the place was large enough for four people, quarters still seemed cramped. Buttercup left one afternoon to go shopping with her sisters at their insistence.

“Tell me again why were doing this,” Buttercup said as they approached the check out. The sales girl looked horrified seeing all the purchases the three girls were making. “You know I hate shopping.”

“It’s for the baby,” Blossom said. “Since you refuse to let us give you a baby shower, this is the next best thing.”

“And how are we going to fit all this stuff in Mojo’s place.”

“We’re not,” Bubbles said. She covered her mouth quickly. “Oops.”

“Bubbles, that was supposed to be a surprise.”

After everything was rung up, Blossom handed the girl a credit card.

“What’s going on?” Buttercup demanded to know.

“You’ll find out later,” Blossom said. “So are we ready to go?”

“I was ready to go before we even got here,” Buttercup said.

“Okay, whatever.” Blossom said as two other working headed out with them to their vehicle. Blossom unlocked the back, letting to two men start loading.

Bubbles helped load all there purchases into the van that Blossom had rented the day before.

“We’re almost ready to go.” Blossom was ready to lend a hand as well. Buttercup was standing on the sidelines. “I could help with that, you know.”

“No way,” Blossom said. “You’re pregnant.”

“Don’t remind me,” Buttercup said, feeling a kick in her stomach. “Hey, you, settle down in there.”

Since her sisters were not allowing her to do any heavy lifting she decided to enter the car and turn on the radio. As soon as they were done Blossom entered the driver’s side, while Bubbles got in the back seat.

“So, now will you tell me what’s going on,” Buttercup said, turning the volume down on the radio.

“No,” Blossom said. “We’ll do better. We’ll show you.”

Buttercup just groaned and slumped back in her seat. “Okay, have it your way.”

Blossom drove off onto the road. Buttercup paid close attention to the streets. They were nowhere near home, so she was really wondering what was going on.
