From the Ground Up
When Nick Wilde entered his house after a long day of work, he felt relieved. Relieved that the day was over, and relieved that he got to see his wife Judy Hopps. The young rabbit was currently on maternity leave, due to give birth in a few weeks. She was stubborn at first at taking time off from the job she adored, but at the same time she knew that she had to do it. Judy was so excited to be a mother, and Nick was just as excited to be a father. They had set up a nursery room a few months back in preparation for the babies' arrival. Nick made his way upstairs where he found Judy in the nursery, standing over one of the cribs. By now her belly had swollen considerably, she looked very large. Nonetheless, Nick thought she was beautiful. She had this warm motherly glow to her that made him smile every time he saw her. As soon as he entered, Judy turned her head to greet him.
"Hi, honey! How was work?" she asked.
"Same old, same old," Nick said, coming up behind her, and wrapping his arms around her. "Pulled over a couple of animals for speeding, responded to a domestic disturbance call, the usual."
"Sounds like fun," Judy laughed.
"Nah, it was pretty boring. I'll be happy when you return to the force," Nick said.
"I will too. As excited as I am for the babies, it'll be nice to get back into the swing of things."
"Speaking of babies, how is mommy doing today?" Nick asked, rubbing one of his paws on Judy's belly.
Judy smiled. "I've been OK. They're kicking a lot more now; I feel like they are playing soccer in my stomach. It's getting harder to move around, but that's to be expected. I'm so fat that I get out of breath from just walking upstairs. God, I look hideous."
"Carrots, you look like a million bucks," Nick said.
"Yeah, I know what you're doing. Don't try to cheer me up," Judy said.
"I mean it, Judy. You look beautiful. You look like a mother already. And I know for a fact that you're going to do a great job as one," Nick said.
Nick led Judy over the bed that they shared, and placed his paws on her belly. He held them there for a minute, until he felt one of the babies kick.
"I felt it!" he cried. "Oh, that's so cool."
Nick leaned down, and kissed Judy's belly. Judy smiled at the gesture. She knew that Nick was going to be a great father. She could already see him now playing with the kids. Being parents was going to be awesome.
"The start of our family," Judy said. "I can't believe it."
"It's exciting I know," Nick agreed.
"It's more than exciting. It's euphoric! To actually bring children of our own into the world, It's…amazing. I can't wait to meet them."
She put a paw on her belly, and once again felt one of the babies kick.
"We're building a family from the ground up," she said. "I love it so much."
"I love you so much," Nick said.
"Oh, Mr. Romantic," Judy teased.
"You know it, Carrots."
Nick slowly cupped Judy's chin in his paws, and brought her closer to him, kissing her passionately on the lips.
The two fell backward onto the bed, their arms wrapped around each other, both delving in the satisfying pleasure of a kiss. When their children were born, they would understand that their mother and father were truly soulmates. Two animals whose paths happened to cross unexpectedly, but they were so fortunate that they did. What life had in store for them in their children was so special. The building blocks were already in place. The seed that had been planted the day that they confessed their love for each other, had grown into a beautiful relationship; one based on friendship, determination, and most importantly: love.
A/N: This is short, but I just felt like writing a cute Nick X Judy fanfic that was full of fluffiness. Let me know what you think!
