Zootopia: Family Bonds

It was Christmas time in Zootopia, the wonderful utopia where animals and humans lived together in the urban jungle they were proud to call home. It was the place where every single district received snow wither they were looking forward to it or not. Ella adored the holidays and she loved being with her family even more. Her family was not like the other families in Zootopia, they were different, they were unique, they were her very special family.

Ella's family was made out of three special animals, the first was a fox named Nick Wilde, former con artist turned cop, was her adoptive father. He met her after he saved her from an angry dingo when she got lost and he had allowed her to stay with him. Soon he began to grow a protective parental bond with her and by the time Nick had graduated from the police academy he had become Ella's adopted father. Nick's love and care for Ella made him the perfect father figure to admire and the fox adored everything Ella did and made sure he would be the best father any little girl would be proud to have. He protected the city as best as he could so his little Ella would have a bright future in this wonderful city they called home. Before Ella came along he had nobody who believed he was anything more then a fox, but his heart soon went out to Ella and his best friend Judy and ever since then he has been more open to everything and everyone, especially went it came to his little baby girl and all those in her life.

The second was a bunny police officer named Judy Hopps, a bunny cop who enlisted their help in solving a missing animal case before it turned into a race against time to save everyone in Zootopia from a conspiracy gone horribly wrong. Ella believed Judy would made a wonderful cop and became one of the only few who believed her before Nick began to support her as well. Judy had also grown fond of the little girl and refused to quit when Ella had been poisoned and helped save her from death along with the Ottertons. She had enlisted the help of Mrs. Otterton, who took care of the girl while she had been sick and in turn Mrs. Otterton's husband, who had become a savage at the time before being tamed by Ella, helped her find just what she needed to cure Ella before it was too late. Now Judy was not only Ella's adopted aunt but she was Nick's closest friend and roomie since he had offered her a place to stay in his new home with Ella and she accepted.

And the third member of this family was Kiana, now known as Mommy by Ella and Mrs. Wilde to others. Kiana used to live in a circus where she and several other animals worked for a deranged ringmaster who sought to bring back the Great Hunt by abducting human children, turning them into savage ferals and letting them attack the audience to make it look like humans were behind the whole accident like the last accidents before Nick, Judy, Ella and her friends managed to overcome him and have him and his brother and hired gun wolf henchman behind bars. Nick had fallen in love with Kiana during the whole circus caper and by the end he proposed and both he and Kiana have been happily wed ever since. Kiana was also the best mommy Ella could ever hope to have and returned her love for her new mother every day.

However right now Ella was worried sick about Kiana. She had fallen ill and had almost barfed once or twice ever since eight o' clock and Nick rushed her to the hospital as fast as he could in sheer panic. They had never even gotten the chance to open their presents before and right now no gift in the whole world could make Ella feel better. Ella sniffled as she began to cry, fearing that she would lose Kiana like she lost her human mother all those year ago.

Judy did her best to comfort her but nothing worked. Judy gently whipped away her niece's tears and hugged her saying "Don't worry Ella, everything will be alright. Kiana is going to be alright."

"But what if I lose her? I don't want to lose another mommy." Ella said sadly "I love Mommy!"

"I know sweetie, I know you love her." Judy said sympathetically "Of all the days to get sick it had to be Christmas, but don't worry, mommy and daddy will be home soon. Why don't you open a present in the meantime?"

"I can't... I want mommy back." Ella said.

Judy continued to comfort her niece before suddenly they heard the car outside and together they fled to the door to see what was the matter. No sooner then when they had arrived then Nick burst in and tackled Judy and Ella in a tight hug, laughing happily as he exclaimed "Girls! Girls! Oh man, I'm going to be a-this is amazing but-but it's nerve wrecking and wonderful and fur jerking and overwhelming at the same time!"

"Nick, what are you talking about?" Judy asked in confusion.

"My Judy's going to be, no I mean, Ella! Ella's Baby it's going-siblings-soon, I mean no, I mean... I'm so excited I can't get it right!" Nick exclaimed before Judy kicked him in his leg, making him cry out and hop around in pain "Ouch! What was that for?"

"Unless you continue to talk crazy I'll keep kicking you until I can find a rope to tie you up in while I force feed you applesauce." Judy said "Now will you please calm down and tell us what the big deal is?"

"Right, right, deep breaths." Nick said as Kiana came in and hugged Ella tightly "Well, it turns out Kiana is not in danger of being sick, in fact the doctor congratulated us the moment he found out."

"What's going on?" Ella asked

"What your father is trying to say is Ella," Kiana explained "Is that soon you won't be an only child anymore."

Ella's eyes went wide as Kiana giggled before adding "I'm going to have baby foxes! Ella, you're going to be a big sister!"
