Unconditional Love.

Kendra was in the recording studio, singing into the mic as her daughter, a grey and white furred hybrid doe with amber eyes named Marian, worked the recording studio, in the thirteen years since they were born, Marian and her siblings had grown into their own hobbies, Marian was right into the recording equipment, bopping her head lightly to her mother's voice in the other room.

"Let's go all, the way tonight,

No regrets, just love.

We can dance, until we die,

You and I, will be young forever!" Kendra sang, Marian smiling as she adjusted one of the dials on the equipment, closing her eyes and simply taking in the beat and melody of the song.

"You make me,

Feel like I'm livin' a,

Teenage dream,

The way you turn me on.

I can't sleep,

Let's run away and,

Don't ever look back,

Don't ever look back!" Kendra sang, before her nose twitched and she sneezed into the mic, Marian yelping as the sound was sent to her through the headphones she had on, the amber eyes hybrid groaning and face palming, hitting the intercom button on the booth.

"Mom, that recording is out... and to be honest I think we could use a break, so could you-"

"Marian, I'm sorry for sneezing like that, it just hit so fast-"

"Seriously, you need to clean that recording room of yours... maybe get Todd or Koslov to do it, they can reach the really dirty places, anyway, I'm out, I need to eat something, so whether you want it or not Mom, break for at least the next hour," Marian explained, releasing the button and grinning as she watched her mother start complaining into the inactive mic; the room Kendra was in was sound proofed, so Marian couldn't even hear her.

The sight that greeted Marian was one that was both unwanted, but unfortunately rather common as of late; Todd and his girlfriend Kira were making out in the hallway, the coyote now at the age of nineteen, he has finally gathered the guts to ask the wolf girl out, and the two had hit it off, a little too well for Marian's liking, but this was her older brother so she wasn't about to complain about his romantic life... much.

"Ugh... get a room you two, and while your at it, mate to break this obvious sexual tension-"

"What makes you think we haven't mated already Maid Marian?" Todd asked, Kira snickering at the nickname; it was no secret that Todd had, at the age of six, named all his siblings, most of them after characters from his favorite film "Robin Hood", and so he had nick names to suit their namesakes.

Marian rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Because if you two actually had mated, one if not both of you would have started howling, and unless you did it in the recording studio-" Marian paused here as she considered her own words, then the smug grin on Todd's face, and her ears dropped behind her head, "Oh God... THAT'S why Mom sneezed! She smelled your fur-"

"Pffft, Marian I'm messing with you... we did make out in there though, so maybe we left some shed fur? Sorry about that and- oh hey Mom," Todd said, wrapping his arm around Kira's waist before leaning in to kiss the wolf on the cheek, Kendra sighing and shaking her head.

"My my... where did my adorable little pup go? It seems like yesterday that you were still sleeping with Twinkers... you do still have that little star, right-"

"Of course he does Mrs. Bucksworth... I saw it on his shelf with his other keepsakes-"

"And how did you see them there Kira?" Kendra asked, Marian sucking a breath through her teeth before turning and walking away; she was NOT willing to be there for the shit-storm that was about to happen.

"Uhhhh... we slept together- but we didn't actually do anything... we were watching a movie in my room together and next thing I know I wake up with Kira at my side-"

"Todd, I'm not upset, just curious... if you two had mated, I'd be hoping you at least used protection; nineteen is not the age to be giving me grandpups." Kendra explained, Todd and Kira both blushing before they chuckled, Kira rubbing the back of her neck while Todd coughed into a paw.

"Thanks Mom- Oh and you're phone had an update, I took care of it for you-"

"Thanks Todd, and Kira you want to stay for dinner? Seeing as you and my son here already sleep together, I will consider you one of the family-"

"Actually, Mrs. Bucksworth, we had plans; Todd got reservations at Vanessa's and we-"

"Hold on a moment, Todd you got reservations at my older sister's restaurant in Zootopia? How did you manage that?" Kendra asked, Todd grinning and rubbing his knuckles on his shirt.

"Ask my Godfather; that bear has lots of connections it seems." Todd replied, Kendra rolling her eyes and sighing before turning to walk toward the kitchen. There, she found her loving husband Nelson, currently working on dinner before glancing to his right and smiling, his wife having climbed up a set of steps to stand on the counter top itself; being as tiny as she was compared to Nelson, Kendra has lots of ways to get around to various things in the home.

"Hey babe, you and Marian finish recording that song already-"

"Ugh, no... I sneezed into the mic since our son Todd and his girlfriend were making out in there and shed a bit of fur... oh and Todd's taking Kira to Vanessa's-"

"I know hon... say, think this sauce here needs something-"

"You knew he was going to dinner with Kira? Out to Zootopia... by himself?" Kendra asked, Nelson nodding and offering a smile.

"To be fair, the recording studio is sound proof; even with ears like these-" Nelson then gently brushed Kendra's right ear, causing the hybrid doe to shiver and purr slightly, "- you couldn't hear when we tried to tell you. Koslov set everything up, they'll take the train to Savanna Central Station, and from there take a ride with Renato Manchas, you know, the jaguar with the scars on his right eye?" Nelson asked, Kendra pondering it and nodding.

"Yeah, works for Tundra Town Limo Service... how's a refrigerated limo-"

"He drives more than four wheeled freezers- See ya later Todd, and have fun Kira!" Nelson called, Kendra turning to see her son and his girlfriend ready to go, both nodding before they turned to each other and smiled, exiting the house as Kendra sighed and shook her head.

"Honestly Nelly... where does the time fly?" Kendra asked, Nelson smiling and pulling the hybrid doe in for a kiss.

"Mmm... I don't know, but all I know is that he's a Bucksworth... and that I hope they don't get married any time soon-"

"And what would be wrong with that? Not that I'm against you, I want them to wait as well... just curious is all-"

"If my Dad is at their wedding, he'll insist I accept Kira into my herd... and I don't know if her parents would be willing for that... unlike your Mom and Dad, they don't seem to like me much-"

"They tolerate you more than anything... I had a chat with Kira's mother, loveliest wolf you'd ever meet, and she explained that her husband is a wee bit old-fashioned-"

"Old-Fashioned? He told me that had Todd been anything else but a canine, he'd have bitten his face off-"

"She also said he is a tad territorial in regards to his daughter, she's his only pup after all, and doesn't want her getting hurt," Kendra explained, Nelson sighing as he shook his head.

"Yeah, I can see that... I mean technically I'm not any of our children's father, but I'd still protect them like they were." Nelson said, sitting in a nearby chair and letting Koslov take over preparations, Kendra smiling and walking over to start rubbing her husband's shoulders.

"Oh my poor baby... you feel so... tense... I think someone needs a very special massage-"

"HEADS UP! MOM AND DAD ARE GOING TO GO AND MATE AGAIN!" Robin announced, Kendra and Nelson both blushing, Kendra's ears glowing while the scars on Nelson's face glowed briefly.

"Aaaand with that, my mood is ruined- THANKS ROBIN!" Nelson shouted, the black and red furred hybrid buck chuckling before saluting; despite his size, Robin had hopes of someday joining the Zootopia Special Forces, and was even training for the day he enlisted, his body showing some muscle definition from the rigorous schedule he set for himself.

"No problem Dad, so what's for dinner? I just finished a lap around the town and I'm famished!" Robin explained, Kendra smiling and offering a mock salute of her own.

"At ease soldier, you're only thirteen, no need to run yourself ragged like this Robin... you'll get there in your own time, just enjoy your time here with us while you can, okay sweetheart?" Kendra asked, Robin sighing and nodding his head.

"Sure Mom... also, Julie and Katelyn are supposed to be coming by, you know how those two are," Robin replied, Kendra rolling her eyes and sighing; Julie was her younger sister, yet was best friends with her niece Katelyn, Sarah and Brandon's daughter, the girl was a rabbit/otter mix, and stood at roughly the same height of a normal rabbit, but had brown fur, a long rudder-like tail, claws and webbed paws, along with slightly shorter ears than normal, and she had violet eyes. This little kit was just like her mother in so many ways it was scary.

"Okay, when are they getting here-"

"BOOM BABY! The hotness has arrived!" Katelyn shouted from the door, Julie standing nearby and rolling her eyes; while Katelyn was her best friend, she had her reservations for her niece just like her older sister had.

"Katelyn, you're only considered hot because you have a highly flexible body-"

"So do you, don't think I didn't notice while we were at Mystic Springs Oasis with Nangi the other day... you got flex in all the right places... makes me wish you weren't family-"

"Ugh, I know you're a lesbian Katy, but could you please stop hitting on me-"

"Can I help it if you're the hottest mammal I know? Sure you're technically my aunt, but that just makes you all the more... alluring." Katelyn replied, Julie sighing and shaking her head, just as Kendra walked up and patted the hybrid vixen on the shoulder.

"Hey there Jules, how's Mom and Dad treating you huh?" Kendra asked, if for nothing else than to break the awkward tension between the two younger hybrids.

"Oh you know the drill, Dad's all like "No boys until you're thirty" and Mom is running for Sheriff again; you'd think that she'd try for mayor once in a while-"

"Oh Hell NO! The current Tri-Burrow mayor is a good mammal... plus I don't think Mom would be able to handle the stress, remember the story of her first day on the beat in Zootopia-"

"When she met Dad-"

"Naw Jules, she meant when she met with Two Ton Teddy while working the Slashed Tires Case- OF COURSE SHE MEANT THAT DAY!" Katelyn replied, sarcasm one of the things she inherited from her mother, Julie and Kendra sighing as they chatted for a bit.


(Later with Todd and Kira)

Todd smiled over to his girlfriend from across the table, his tail wagging slightly as they waited for their orders; Todd having ordered the Chicken Marsala while Kira ordered the baked Salmon. Soon enough, Vanessa herself came out to greet the couple with a smile on her face, and a bottle of white wine in her paw.

"Hey kids, how's my favorite nephew and his gal tonight?" Vanessa asked, Todd offering a smile before taking the bottle of wine; if for no other reason than because it was much too big for the rabbit to carry.

"We're fine... food's kinda slow-"

"That's because I'm insisting on my staff to make your food perfect... shouldn't be long now- ah, here it comes now." Vanessa explained, as a smartly dressed tiger with a food cart, Vanessa smiling proudly as the dishes were served.

"For the Gentleman, we have the Chicken Marsala, though we used blueberry infused Marsala wine for added flavor, and for the Lady we have the best cut of Salmon, which was roasted over apple wood chips before being baked with lime wedges, and seasoned with coriander and white pepper. I suggest the white wine as a your beverage for the evening, as this particular bottle has been aged for twenty years... and it's on the house, my treat guys-"

"Thanks Aunt Vanessa, but we're not old enough to drink yet-"

"Bah... what's one glass of wine going to do? Go ahead and enjoy your selves... besides the only other thing we have to drink here is water, I would have had an espresso maker if the delivery guy hadn't busted it during transport." Vanessa grumbled, her ears sinking behind her head as she sighed and walked back to the kitchen, Todd glancing at the bottle and shrugging.

"Eh, you only live once, what could possibly go wrong?" Todd asked playfully, Kira giggling as her boyfriend opened the bottle and poured her and himself a glass.

From there, the date went as expected, they chatted, ate their dinner, drank some wine, had dessert; which was peach cobbler for Todd and strawberry shortcake for Kira, drank some more wine, and then drank some more, and some more... and even more...


(The next morning: Grand Pangolin Arms)

Todd groaned as he slowly woke up, looking around and realizing he wasn't home, but rather in his mother's city apartment; despite having moved in with Nelson years ago, Kendra still paid the rent on the tiny apartment so if she had a concert to perform in Zootopia, she'd have a place to stay over night.

"Mmm... Todd lay back down... it's getting cold..." Kira mumbled from below, Todd glancing down and gasping at the sight of his girlfriend in bed with him, which in itself wasn't unusual, but at the same time hadn't been while she was naked.

"Oh God... Kira how much wine did we drink last night?" Todd asked, Kira moaning softly as she stretched, Todd's eyes widening as the blanket fell from her torso, revealing her chest to him, which his garnet eyes slowly sank towards before Kira noticed his line of sight and yelped, covering herself up with the blanket.

"Oh no... T-Todd, my crotch hurts-"

"Oh damn... we got drunk and mated... in my mother's apartment no less-"

"I thought she lived with your Dad-"

"SHE ONLY LIVES THERE DURING CONCERTS!" a voice shouted through the wall, Todd and Kira glancing to the wall before a groan was heard on the other side.

"BUCKY SHUT UP! CAN'T YOU HEAR THEM IN THERE? THEY MESSED UP-"

"OH SHUT UP PRONK-"

"COULD BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!? WE'RE BOTH A LITTLE HUNG OVER AND YOUR SHOUTING HURTS!" Todd roared back, the two voices on the other side of the wall falling silent before there was a gentle tap.

"Sorry..." was all that was heard through the wall, Todd groaning and flopping back into the bed, Kira joining him and sighing.

"So... how do we explain this to our parents? I mean, I'm not sure we used protection for this-"

"Aaand based on how I can smell you off my fingers after checking myself... you didn't-"

"Thanks for that hon... really a confidence booster there Kira-"

"No problem Todd... Ugh, don't beat yourself up over this... I know we didn't have the best judgement, but to be fair, we were both drunk last night." Kira explained, Todd considering this before his ears flattened.

"Grandma told me that she had been drunk one night with a guy named Jack Savage... that lead to my nine pure rabbit aunts and uncles." Todd explained, Kira sighing and snuggling up to the coyote's side.

"Hey... if it comes to us having a few pups together... then I'm sure we can pull through-" Kira's face then froze, before she covered her muzzle and rushed for the nearest container, vomiting into the trash bin.

"DAMN! MORNING SICKNESS KICKED IN FAST!" Bucky shouted through the wall, Todd rolling his eyes and punching the wall.

"You do realize I'm a coyote right? A large predator-"

"I GOT YOU HOMEY!" Pronk shouted, before a thud was heard, Todd raising a brow as Kira wiped her mouth out, "GOT HIM, HE'S OUT!" Pronk shouted proudly, Todd making a mental note to report the two for domestic violence later.


(with Todd, back home)

Todd walked into the house and was immediately spotted by his mother, the look on her face one of concern and worry, "TODD! Where the HELL were you!?" Kendra screamed, the coyote folding his ears back and rubbing the back of his head.

"Me and Kira got a little carried away last night and before we knew it, it was already dark... so we crashed at your place in Zootopia-"

"Ah... would that be why I saw this Furbook post?" Kendra asked, taking out her phone and bringing the post up, before clearing her throat and speaking, "This post is from one of my neighbors, I'm sure you spoke with them while there but this one comes from Bucky-"

"Oh God no-"

"It reads; "Heard a couple of howlers in the room next to ours... they were SO LOUD! I thought they'd wake up the entire building!"... so tell me Todd... how carried away did you and Kira get last night?" Kendra asked, Todd looking to the floor and sighing.

"It wasn't our fault-"

"What? Are you about to suggest you had fun by accident-"

"Mom, that's not what I meant-"

"That you tripped, slipped and fell into Kira's lady parts? Because if you are about to say that then I'd just love to hear how that happened-"

"Vanessa gave us wine, OKAY! She assured us that we would be fine, but-"

Todd didn't get to continue, as Kendra had growled and brought up her sister's number, Todd slowly trying to slink away before Kendra shot a glare in his direction; a silent order for him to stay put.

"Ugh, Kendra don't you know what time it is-"

"Well, I just wanted to know how Tod and Kira's evening dinner went, see they hadn't gotten home and-"

"Ooh... about that, I kinda gave your pup a bit of wine, they got carried away and I had to have Manchas drive them someplace to sleep it off... I suggested your apartment in the city, since it was closer." Vanessa explained, Kendra's eyes widening before then glared at the phone in her paws.

"What were you THINKING! They are both only nineteen years old-"

"I'm aware of that, but-"

"And they MATED IN MY APARTMENT-"

"They did? Well at least they were both drunk-"

"SO WAS MOM AND JACK WHEN YOU AND THE OTHERS WERE MADE!" Kendra roared, and though it couldn't be seen, Vanessa had recoiled from her phone on her end of the call.

"Okay, so I messed up, big whoop-"

"That's all you have to say? "Big Whoop"? What if Kira is pregnant-"

"Grandpups Sis... now can we pick this up later? I have to be at work in an hour and REALLY need my sleep..." Vanessa replied, then before Kendra could respond the call ended, leaving the hybrid doe with a dial tone and a beep.

For a few minutes, the room was silent, Todd not daring to move a muscle until Kendra slowly turned her gaze towards him, Todd's ears folding back at the look she was giving him; she wasn't angry, not even upset, it was a look of total dissapointment, and for Todd that hurt so much more.

"M-Mom... I can explain-"

"I'm calling Kira's parents, I need to know if she's showing any strange symptoms-"

"She threw up in your apartment trash can..." Todd explained, Kendra's ears drooping behind her head before she sighed and shook her head.

"Well... then you and Kira have some planning to do... not to mention you have a very important question to now ask-"

"Mom, are you suggesting I ask Kira to marry me-"

"I would hope you at least propose, you don't need to marry her right away, just show you'll be there for her-

"Mom, I'll always be there for her-"

"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP!? Some of us are trying to SLEEP!" Elsa groaned from her bedroom door, rubbing one of her red eyes before turning and heading back into her shared bedroom; due to the size of the litter, Nelson and Kendra had opted for making two rooms for the kits, one for the boys to share, and the other for the girls, Todd was the only child of Nelson and Kendra with a room of his own.

Todd and Kendra glanced toward the hall and then to each other and sighed, "So... wanna pick this up later-"

"Yeah... but don't expect me to sleep on it... later on, you're dipping into your savings account and buying Kira an engagement ring." Kendra replied, hopping from the couch and making her way to her room, but not without placing a motherly scent mark on Todd; she may be mad at him, but that didn't mean she didn't love him.

Todd didn't even bother going to bed; being a coyote, he was somewhat nocturnal and used to waking up before the sun rose, so he turned on the TV and sat on the couch. Soon enough, one of the other early risers arrived in the living room, his calico furred brother Luke, the hybrid buck making his way to the kitchen and grabbing a simple early morning snack, a carrot.

"Hey Todd... heard about your romp with Kira-"

"I don't want to talk about it-"

"That's cool bro... I was just saying that you don't need to worry... you love Kira, Kira loves you, right-"

Todd slowly glanced at Luke and rolled his garnet eyes; of his seven hybrid siblings, Luke was his personal favorite, heck the way Luke acted on a daily basis, Todd wouldn't be surprised to learn he had been a coyote in a previous life. "Look Luke... I know you're trying to help, and I really do appreciate it... but it's early, I just found out that I may be a father-"

"Technically, she only threw up... sure you slept together, but you also did drink a whole bottle of wine together... chances are that has a part to play as well-"

"she peed on a pregnancy stick... came back positive... didn't want to tell Mom that detail right away, so if you could-"

At that moment, the two mammals heard their mother's voice from her bedroom door, "I can hear both of you, I am part rabbit after all!" Kendra called, Todd face palming while Luke snickered to himself.


(Later on in the day, Kira's home)

"So, Todd Bucksworth... you want my blessing in asking for my daughter's paw in marriage? And before you try to explain it, I know you knocked her up... I have a really good sense of smell-"

"Sir... please, I know it seems bad... scratch that, I know this is a bad scenario for giving your daughter away... but I promise that if you allow me to be there for her... for my future pups... I'll do all I can to support her, I mean I have a stable job-"

"As a cashier at your father's general store... don't get me wrong Todd, I do like you..." James Howlins explained, Todd's ears folding upon seeing the look on the elder wolf's face, it was one of hurt, not physical but emotional hurt. Todd reached forward and placed a reassuring paw on the wolf's shoulder, offering a smile to him.

"I assure you, I can handle this, and besides we'll wait to actually get married... after the pups are born at least... we'll find a place to live nearby, I'll work my Dad's shop and-"

"Todd... I respect your courage in this... but don't think too far ahead." James explained, standing tall and turning to let out a short howl, a feminine howl responding before Kira came out of the house, James turning back toward Todd with a grin, "Now then, you had something to ask my daughter young man?" James asked, Todd's eyes widening before he reached into his pocket and dropped to one knee, Kira's paws covering her mouth in surprise.

"Kira... will you give me the honor- no, the privilege to call you mine?" Todd asked, Kira glancing to her father as if asking permission, the old wolf nodding his head with a soft smile of his own.

"Y-Yes Todd... of course..." Kira replied, holding out her paw as Todd gently slipped a gold engagement ring set with a garnet stone onto her finger, the coyote standing up and smiling before yelping slightly in surprise from being slammed to the ground by his fiance kissing him, James rolling his eyes and turning to go inside.


And here is Chapter 1 of the Sequel! Now to be honest, I was struggling slightly with this, not because I didn't like it, but because as stated before on Tumblr, I was having to deal with my niece and nephew this week past... and trust me when I say that things can get pretty stressful.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and if you like that, I plan on starting an ask the characters RP thing over on Tumblr, where you can ask any of the characters involved with my "Seeking Forgiveness" series anything you want, and I'll answer to the best of my ability as that character. Just go ahead and send an ask to timberwolfalpha. tumblr .com with the name of the character being questioned, and I'll respond in kind to you. Anyway, I've been TimberWolf, Alpha of the Pack, and I'll be catching you guys and gals out there on the flip side, PEACE! AROOOOOOOOO!
