AN: Thank you for those of you have reviewed. This chapter is a little later then I meant for it to be but its been one of those weeks.

Chapter Summary: Bunnymund finds out the hard way about Jacks Kids. (This is more of a futuristic view of the guardians and is not part of the present where he had just met the tribe.)

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

It had been thirty years since Bunnymund had first met the other pooka and had begun to get to know them. He was very grateful to Jack for bringing him to the tribe and at first was constantly telling her thank you. It wasn't until one day that Jack decided instead of hearing him say thank you again and asking her how he could repay her that their relationship changed.

He had not in the slightest expected for her to interrupt him halfway through is sentence with a kiss. When she had moved back she had simply smiled at him before saying that he was most welcome before flying away.

Now thirty years later Bunnymund was minding his own business while painting the eggs when it happened. Jack had just left after their rather heated visit when three pooka whom he had seen around the tribe but never spoken with popped out of a tunnel to his left.

One of them strode straight up to him before halting less then a foot away from him simply observing him through narrowed eyes. The other two hung back and studied him from a distance in the same manner though they seemed just a little bit more tense as the seconds ticked by.

Managing to back away to get room to observe the pooka who he had smelled to be female got a good look at her. She was, as the humans would say, fire engine red. She apparently had the famed temper of the summer pooka that her coloring indicated she was.

The next one he turned his attention to was the color of the moon and just as mysterious he would bet. She must be a winter pooka he mused. She was probably the calmest of the three he noted as he turned his attention to the only male of the three.

The male was dark, dark brown with hints of green. Bunnymund could only guess him to be a spring pooka like himself. "May I help you?" Bunnymund finally asked after his inspection.

"You are courting our mother. Yet you have not requested our permission to do so," replied the moon gray female in a light airy tone. The other female practically growled at him. The male only looked on in indifference.

"I was not aware that Jack had adopted you. I have not even asked Jack if I may court her yet. She'll probably say no to me just as she has any other male whom has asked."

The fire engine red female snorted in contempt, "Not likely. She practically hangs off of your every word, every action and you don't even realize it."

"Sister's leave him be. He said he has not asked her yet so he still has time to request our permission to court mother."

Bunnymund's eyes had widened as far as they could go. Jack had kids?! Did she adopt them or give birth to them? Bunnymund couldn't help but wonder. And if she did give birth to them why hadn't she mentioned that she had a mate? She had never shown herself to be promiscuous so what was going on here? "Did Jack adopt you or is she your birth mother?"

The moon gray female laughed lightly, "She hasn't mentioned us yet huh? I'm not surprised. She is our adopted mother. She took us in after she found us after our parents died. You still have a question to ask of us."

Bunnymund looked at the other two who only made a gesture that clearly said, 'well get on with it already!' Shaking his head he spoke, "May I have your permission to court your mother and get to know you three as well."

"We have already discussed what it would mean for you to court our mother and have decided that you would be good for each other. She needs you to be a steadying hand while you need her to remind you to have fun and enjoy life not just make the motions of living so yes. You have our permission to court our mother." The males quiet voice rang through the Warren.

"Thank you. I will not hurt your mother in anyway."
