From the Bottom of My Heart
Chapter 1. Paperwork
It was a cool calm November evening just months after the "Night Howler Case" and officer Judy Hopps was filling out last minute paperwork of a robbery in central downtown zootopia. Her shift was about to end and her partner Nick Wilde was still on patroll by himself saying he needed to "have a thought to himself". Judy knew Nick had a rough past and she respected that, but he should have been there to clock off and he was nowhere in sight, untill a anoying pun picked up.
"Hey Carrots"
it was Nick. Judy startled fell out of her seat
"sly fox" she grumbled trying to pun him back. Nick helped is college up off the floor
"So, need help finishing that paperwork?"
"Sure maybe if we get done sooner the faster we can clock off"
the duo got done in just enough time to clock off on time. After a breif see ya later to their freind Clawhouser, Nick offered Judy a ride home.
"So Carrots you want me to drive you home instead of that crowded bus?"
Judy asked "is it faster than the bus?"
"oh yea!" Nick exclaimed
Nick owned a simple two-door semi-sporty hatchback Nizzan 270se she got in the car and was amaised that the interior was not as bad as the faded white paint job on the outside. After taking her home she hugged his neck and said their goodbyes. exept they had a feeling that none of them can explain and just departed before the feeling took over. It was a feeling of love.
Chapter 2. Action
Early the next morning Judy got a phone call as her alam went off. She checked to see who it was. It was Nick with a photo of him in his uniform and aviator shades trying to do a cool pose, this made her laugh on the inside everytime.
"Hey Carrots you want me to take you to work this morning?"
She replied " are you gonna get bored with coming on the other side of town just to take me to work everyday?"
"NO I'm always happy to help a friend in need, what ever you want I will do my best to get it for you"
she secretly let out an aww on the inside and thanked him for his generosity.
After getting in their patrol car Clawhouser got on the emergency dispatch radio with a frantic voice saying
"CALLING ALL UNITS WE HAVE A BANK ROBBERY IN FOX MEADOWS ALL UNITS RESPOND!"
Judy got on her radio and said " This is officers Hopps and Wilde we are responding Code 3!"
Nick started flackbacking from his past he looked as if he was going to have a seisure but judy quickly snapped him out of it
"GET IT TOGETHER WILDE!", "what's wrong partner?"
"Its nothing Carrots" Nick wispered and with that Judy floored the car to its limit hauling butt to fox meadows.
After getting to the bank they noticed it was upheld by a group of racoons.
"These creatures are sneakier than i am ", noted Nick.
Both Judy and Nick went into position at a vantage point near a window of the bank lucky for them it was the window behind the desk nick quickly pushed Judy in and jumped over himself. knowing that they were in the deep end they had to be extra causious after radioing the SWAT unit that they were inside and that they can move in on the entrance. as the SWAT unit pushed forward they were receiving more threats to back up. As the suspects were distracted by the force before them Nick and Judy were getting hostages out of the bank as quietly as possible, but as they got the last one out, one suspect spotted the dimed duo and was ready to take action. Even though they were outnumbered they were already taking the heist crew down one by one until a sudden gunshot was heard and Judy saw Nick hit the floor with a thud, Nick had been shot in the stomach.
The police scanners all around Fox Meadows were being overwhelmed with Judy's frantic shouting
" THIS IS OFFICER HOPPS, OFFICER WILDE IS HIT I REAPEAT WILDE IS HIT"
Nick was starting to bleed out with only minutes left to spare and Judy was doing all that she could to take down the last suspect. And with a jumping drop shot to the temple the last suspect was down. Now she had a new worry Nick was bleeding out. Judy called all officers in to detain the suspects and a medic to help Nick. As the medic came in he saw judy shirtless over her beloved partner with her shirt pressed tightly against his wound. Nick was weak but she got the bleeding to slow down and with the help of the medic Nick's bleeding stopped but he lost a LOT of blood Nick was quickly loaded into the ambulace with his partner by his side on the way to Central Zootopia Medical Center.
Chaper 3. Medical leave
After the events of the bank robbery Nick was to be put on medical leave for 4 days just to get him well. and Cheif Bogo let Judy off on some spare vacation days to tend to her beloved freind and secret love. The doctor told Nick not to wear a shirt for 48 hours to keep infection from settling in his wound. And Judy was to put an ointment on the wound every 4 hours to help the healling prossess. This will be the first time Judy will have seen Nick shirtless and she couldn't help but blush heavily. Nick saw a glimpse of Judy's blushing and that gave him a hint that she really did like him and that this was his chance to show his charm. As Judy was driving Nick home from work
"thank you for helping at the bank i probably wouldn't be here without you Carrots".
Judy loved that nickname even though it was overused. She simply stated
"hey at least i have to see you shirtless now that's a start."
This made Nick blush and Judy saw it making her confident that he liked her as well. When they got to the apartment Judy had to strugle to help the giant fox out of the car, up the stairs and into his bed. Nick lived in a two bedroom apartment with a nice size kitchen and living space with a flat screen tv and a brand new expencive gaming console, yet he still can't afford a new paintjob for his car. the first treatment went kinda rough as judy was so distracted by Nick's muscles she accidently jabed her finger with ointment into his wound and almost broke a stitch making Nick scream in agony. She has never been so distracted by Nick like this before and it made her further her love for him. She knew outside of work nick was always a playful joker and he was a good cook. kept his house and car clean. And kept a wardrobe full of diffrent collored tropical shirts, grey chinos and the ocasional pair of jeans. Sure Nick kept some of his con artist ways but that was because he lived that way for so long that he though that was his way of life.
"Hey Nick what do you think of me?"
Nick knew what the answer was but he was scared of rejection but he knew she was waiting on him to make the first move so he told her the truth
"Carrots ever since day one i couldn't keep my eyes off of you even though your a rabbit and im a fox i still love you for your looks, personality, moods, and anything else good about you".
To Judy those were the words from the bottom of his heart
"well Nick when i first met you i thought you were a pain in my rear. You were anoying you was a scam artist and it made me want to punch you in the mussle, but i really grew to like you and your silly puns."
After hearing that Nick started to laugh thinking of when she dragged him into the night howler case, how annoyed she looked made him smile even to this day. The sudden thought made her lean in and before you know it Judy was kissing Nick a dream come true.
