"WAAAAAAA"
"Nick it's your turn to take care of him." Judy elbowed Nick who had his paws and tail wrapped around her in their normal sleeping arrangement.
"Yes I want more blueberries, why would you even ask that?"
Judy rolled over and looked at his still sleeping form, she hated waking him up as he was so peaceful but she had just been up feeding them and she needed sleep. She gave him a rough shove and watched as his eye snapped open. "Go take care of your son, it's your turn."
Nick watched as Judy rolled back over, her slow rise and fall telling him she had already fallen back asleep. He was about to complain when another whine from Nathan brought Nick out of the bed and over to him. He looked down at the little bunny and reached in to pick him up, "Hey there little guy, what's wrong."
The small bunny slowed his crying and looked at Nick as he was picked up, a small smile growing on his gray muzzle. "There we go little guy, no need for the crying." Nick started slowly walking around with him trying to get him to calm down, but to no avail as the little bunny just kept crying.
Nick held him under the arms so he could look right at him, "Hey buddy what's wrong, why all the tears?" He finally stopped crying and gave a big grin to Nick, "There we go, see there is no need to…" Nick stopped as a loud wet fart came from the bunny followed by giggles and kicking.
Nick took a big whiff and turned his head enticing more laughs from the small bunny, "Oh that is foul little one." He walked over and placed him down on the changing table while pulling out a diaper and wipes. He cleaned him up, wrapping him in a new diaper and placed him back into the crib. As he was walking away he began to cry again.
"You want to cuddle with daddy is that it little guy," Nick reached in pulling Nathan into a soft embrace against his bare chest. The little rabbit nestled himself into Nicks fur, cooing. Nick walked out into the living room with his son and slowly paced around the room savoring the closeness with him. After twenty minutes of walking Nicks back had begun to hurt him, and with Nathan still being awake, he decided to lay down on the couch to see if he could get the little bunny to sleep. Nathan sunk deeper into Nicks soft fur, Nick flinched as the little bunny pulled at his fur.
Soon Nick heard the deep soft breaths of the bunny on his chest. Looking down his eyes were closed with a small smile on his muzzle. Nick turned his head and looked out the window over the city below. Only a few short years ago he was out on the streets hustling for meager money, now he had a stable job, a true home, and a family that loved him. He settled himself more into the couch and closed his eyes.
Judy woke up with the glaring sun in her eyes, she quietly cursed at herself for not closing the blinds. She pulled the blankets tighter while scooting back trying to feel for Nick to warm her up, but she never met with him. Rolling over she realized he wasn't in bed and sat up. Looking over at the cribs and saw Nathan was not in his. Groaning she left the comfort of her bed and checked on Sophia who was still sleeping in hers. Smiling Judy leaned over the railing and kissed the small fox on her head and left the room in search of her boys.
She walked down the short hallway to the living room and to the bay window looking out at the rising sun, she closed her eyes and soaked in the warmth of the rays. She slowly took in a deep breath and let it out turning around and smiled at the sight before her. Nick had a leg dropped off the edge of the couch, his head was back with his mouth was wide open, and both his paws wrapped tightly over the sleeping bunny gripping his chest fur. She walked over and gave both of them a kiss before wrapping them in a blanket and heading to the kitchen to start breakfast.
She put on a pot of coffee and pulled out items to make some sweet potato pancakes. She was about to pour out the batter for the first one when the monitor lit up and Sophia's light crying came across. She put the bowl down and walked to the bedroom looking into the crib. Sophia stopped crying and got a huge grin across her muzzle and rolled around in excitement to see Judy.
"There's my happy girl, your always so excited to see mama." She reaching in and picked up the smiling vixen. She shoved her fingers into her mouth and began to suck as she walked out of the bedroom, Are you hungry little one?" The little vixen gave her another big smile behind her fingers. As Judy rounded the corner to the kitchen she heard the sizzle of batter hitting the hot pan and was surprised to see Nick standing over the stove.
"I figured you would be sleeping more Nick." Judy walked up and getting on the tips of her toes gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"I heard you talking to Sophia and figured she would want to eat after waking up. So I decided to finish up breakfast for you." Nick looked down to see both Judy and Sophia smiling up at him.
"Thank you, Nick. What about Nathan."
"He's still sound asleep on the couch." Judy gave him an angry look, "don't worry, I wrapped him up right in the blanket and placed him in the crack between cushions so he won't fall off. Besides they're only 3 months old, they're barely grabbing onto things and hardly rolling around yet."
Judy walked to the couch and sat in one of the recliners opening her shirt slightly so Sophia could feed. She rocked gently in the chair looking out at the rising sun for a few minutes before Nick walked in with a plate of pancakes. He got a sly smile as he looked at Judy, "Hey carrots thanks for the show."
Judy looked down and saw with Sophia's squirming as she fed the other half of her shirt had fallen open completely exposing her breasts to Nick. She smirked and shook her head, "It's not like I was trying to you horney fox. She just moves around so much while feeding her it just happens. Ouch! You stop that little one, no biting." Sophia let go to give Judy a big smile before latching back on to eat some more.
"Once their teeth come in I'm either going to pump or switch them to formula from then on, I really don't feel like having bloody nipples." Nick laughed as he set the plate on the table next to the chair. He had already cut up the pancakes for her to make it easier to eat while she nursed.
Nick went back to the kitchen to cook up his pancakes as Judy at hers while she nursed Sophia. It wasn't long before nick was back with his plate high with pancakes and sat in another chair to eat. As he ate he smiled over at Judy juggling eating and nursing, managing it like a pro.
"They're not going anywhere, you don't have to stare at my breasts like they're going to disappear," Judy said to nick catching him staring at her as she hadn't felt the need to cover herself up.
Nick choked a bit on the bite he was eating, "I was just watching you not trying staring, although they are very nice. It just amazes me how naturally this all comes to you, Judy."
Judy blushed at the compliment and tried to hide her face with her ears, "Well I did have two hundred and seventy-five brother and sisters, maybe some of my mom rubbed off on me." Sophia let go again and looked up a Judy who moved her ears back to see her properly. The little vixen just looked up at her before letting out a loud burp.
"Well I guess someone enjoyed her breakfast," Nick said with a laugh before finishing off his pancakes. He got up and took Judy's plate with his as she put Sophia in her bouncer chair. She was settling back in her chair soaking in the warmth as a new set or cries took her attention. With a sigh, she got back up and went to the couch to get Nathan as he was wanting to feed as well.
Nick cleaned up the dishes from breakfast as Judy nursed Nathan. Nick looked over the counter and stared at his family again, he couldn't help but think of what a lucky fox he was. Finding his mate, starting a family, and finally being accepted by society. There was still the occasional look and comment said under someone breath but the couple learned to completely block them out. He watched as Sophia started to get fussy in her chair so he went over and picked her up, tickling her as he brought her to his chest.
"Oh, baby girl I just love your little giggles and smiles. Let go find you a nice dress to wear, its such a nice day out we should go out and do something."
"How about going to the gardens again it's been a while since we've done that," Judy called after Nick as he walked down the hall.
"That sounds good," He yelled back setting Sophia down on the changing table and getting her dressed.
"There's my beautiful girl," He held her up looking at her purple dress matching her eyes. Her little arms and legs kicking around as she squealed in delight.
"That she is Nick," Judy said walking in, placing Nathan down and giving Nick a kiss. "She's going to have a hard time fighting off all the boys that are going to come after her."
"Well, that's where Nathan comes in as her big brother to protect her."
"Why do you think she'll need protecting, part of me as in her as well."
"Very true carrots. If she does take after you, it will the boys who are in trouble."
They laughed as Sophia just gave them a confused look then started giggling too. They got themselves and Nathan dressed before heading off to the botanical gardens. The drive was relatively short from their new home and soon they were walking around enjoying all the sights of the gardens.
The little kits were snapping their heads around trying to take it all in. Nick picked some flowers for them to see and smell, Nathan took a liking to the white rose presented to him. He held onto it and brought it to his nose smelling it, a smile grew across his muzzle. Nick and Judy watched as Nathan examined the flower and smiled when he brought it to his nose again taking in a deep breath. Then promptly put it in his mouth and started trying to eat it.
"No buddy don't do that." Nick took the flower from his son before he could gum it too much and potentially choke on it. Nathan didn't appreciate having it taken from him and started crying. "Hey buddy I just don't want you to choke is all, here have this if you want to chew on something." Nick handed him a teething ring, Nathan accepted it happily and started gumming it.
"You may be taking him off sooner than expected carrots, they way he's trying to eat everything I expect his teeth to be coming in soon." Nick watched as Nathan gummed the ring greedily, already forgetting about the flower.
"The way both of them have been biting I think so as well. I'll miss the closeness with feeding them but my nipples will thank me, though." She rubbed her still breasts, still sore from the morning's feedings.
Nick gave her a sly grin, "Does that mean…"
"Nicholas Wilde, they are not your playthings!" Judy gave him a light hit on his arm. With having the kits and her surgery they have not been able to have any intent time together.
Nick walked over and pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on her head. "I know that Judy, I was just playing around."
She pulled herself higher into him breathing in his scent, which was now mingled in with the scent of their kits creating a whole new smell that she absolutely loved. They held each other for a while before the sounds of the kits wanting attention brought them apart. Nathan had dropped his teething ring and Sophia had somehow gotten her arm trapped in the straps of the seat. After getting them settled back down they found a nice open spot to set out a blanket to have a small family picnic.
They ate the light meal Judy had made and watched the old kits play around them, both in their thoughts of their kits being able to run and play with them when they get older. "So carrots what do you think is going to happen as they grow up? Do you think they'll face the same prejudices we have?"
Judy looked over at the two kits playing on the blanket, their happy squeals bring a laugh and smile to her muzzle, "I don't know Nick. I hope not, but you never know. Some mammals are just backward and will never change. We just have to hope the years will be kind to them."
They both turned and watched as the kits started to push themselves up and try to move around. Sophia was getting it and started scooting around the blanket but Nathan couldn't get the hang of it and began fussing as he would slip and fall lightly. Nick smiled at his son and scooped him up and tickled him bringing a loud bout of giggles. Judy smiled at Nick and Nathan playing as Sophia crawled and pulled herself into Judy's lap. She played with the fur on Sophia's head as she curled up and fell asleep in Judy's lap.
A/N: So after a long hiatus I am back. My other story The Demons We Hide From has slowed down quite a bit, hit some writers block and hoping continuing MICW will break that block. I will try to do the same weekly updates as my last story and hopefully with the holidays coming up I can write several chapters and post them up on time. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
