Chapter 1
The First Week
(Chapter 1 will be mostly fluff, about time at home)
It was a week after Judy had received the pregnancy test, and after she told Luna and Nick about the good news. The massive nightmare that was the vigilante war before was now over, and everyone could relax.
Now, back at home, Luna was still in complete overdrive about the news. She was skipping around the living room with complete glee in her features. Her ears were erect, her tail was wagging ridiculously fast and she was orbiting the couch ridiculously fast as well.
"I'm gonna be a big sister! I'm gonna be a big sister! I'm gonna be a big sister!", she reiterated repeatedly, jumping up and down. Nick bent over and picked up his daughter, who was still operating like a wind up toy.
"Yes, you are! You're gonna be the perfect big sister!", Nick cooed, as Luna squirmed and giggled in his arms. "I'm so proud of you!"
"Daddy!", Luna squealed, as her father played with her. Judy walked in the room holding two ice cream cones. The rump on her stomach was a lot more noticeable now. She watched as her loving husband played with their new daughter. When Luna saw Judy with ice cream, she jumped out of Nick's arms, and ran over to her mother, arms open wide.
"Mommy!", Luna cried. Judy smiled. No matter how many times she heard it, it would always make her heart leap whenever Luna called her "mom". No matter how old Luna grew, she'd never get over it. She knelt down in front of Luna so when she hugged her, her vixen head would nuzzled the crook of her neck.
"Hi, Lu Lu!", Judy exclaimed, as she embraced the kit happily while being mindful of the ice cream cones in her paws. "Do you want some ice cream?"
"Yes!", Luna squealed. Judy gave her the vanilla ice cream cone, and giggled as Luna started slurping it instantly. "You're still excited?", Judy asked.
"Yes, I am! Are the babies growing?", Luna said, excitedly, looking at her mom's stomach. She finished her ice cream while she was at it.
"Yes, they are.", Judy said, patting her stomach, before slightly jolting from some sort of sudden movement. "See? They're kicking in there."
"Kicking?", Luna said. Judy nodded, before Luna came up and angrily pointed at Judy's stomach. "Bad babies! No kicking my mommy!"
Judy and Nick burst into laughter, before the both of them calmed down. "Luna! That just means they're alive. If you can feel them move around, then that means they're kicking. They're not hurting me.", Judy explained.
Nick walked over and picked up Luna. "And besides, I got a method that'll get you kicking!", he said, as he set Luna on the couch. Before Luna could sit up, Nick started tickling her sides. Luna burst into laughter, squirming and struggling, but Nick kept on a relentless attack. Judy set the other ice cream cone back in the freezer and smiled as her husband played with his daughter.
"Ha ha! The tickle monster returns!", Nick laughed, as Luna squealed, trying to get away.
Then Judy felt a tear come well up in her eye. She realized this was all she ever wanted. For Nick to love him, to have a family, the perfect family. She wiped the tear of joy from her eye and walked over to Nick, before sitting on the couch.
"Daddy! S-stop! Dad, I have to pee!", Luna giggled, as Nick finally stopped tickling Luna. The six year old kit quickly ran to the bathroom, and Nick fell over and sat on the couch, right next to his wife.
"Hey, Carrots?", Nick asked, sighing with a big smile.
"Yeah?", Judy asked, sitting alongside her husband.
"Have you ever had the feeling...you know, when everything's perfect and you never want things to change?", Nick asked.
Judy smiled and nuzzled into Nick's shoulder. "I have it every day, when I'm with you.", she whispered.
"Heh...me too, Judy.", Nick chuckled, as he hugged and kissed his wife.
"Nick? I wonder...do you think Victoria would be happy?", Judy asked.
Nick tensed up when he heard the name of Luna's birth mother. He remembered Luna sobbing when her mom passed, and how the song Salut D'Amour haunted her. Judy looked over to see Nick turned away from her. "Nick? Are you..."
"Carrots...", Nick said. Judy immediately flinched when she noticed the sudden serious tone in his voice, and she realized how sensitive this subject still was. "I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to hear how-", Judy said.
"How proud Vicky would be? How happy she'd be to know her daughter was happy?", Nick asked.
Judy meekly nodded. "I shouldn't have-"
"Sorry, just...she's been a hard topic to deal with. Still is.", Nick admitted. "I know she'd be happy."
Judy embraced her husband again. "Don't worry. Luna will grow up to be an amazing vixen, like her mother.", she said.
Nick smiled. "Thanks, Fluff.", he said, wiping a tear.
"You foxes, so emotional.", Judy teased. The bathroom toilet flushed in the distance, but neither of them noticed.
"Don't think I didn't notice that tear from when I was tickling Luna.", Nick shot back. "And you say us foxy characters are emotional." Judy's smugness turned into a sheepish smile. "Oh.", was all she said.
Then Luna came back from the bathroom. "Mommy?", she said.
"Yes, sweetie?", Judy asked.
"I want a hug. Please?", Luna said. "I'm lonely..."
Judy smiled. "Come here, Luna!", she said.
"Yay!", Luna squealed as she practically launched into Judy and Nick's embrace, snuggling into somewhat of a comfortable position.
"You're warm, and fluffy.", Luna cooed, as she rolled up into a fetal position.
"You can thank your mom for that. She's got a nice fluff-butt.", Nick said, smirking. He laughed when a red-eared Judy punched his shoulder for the lewd comment.
"Oh, you know that's true.", Nick said. "Every night, you know it's true."
"Nick! Daughter! Psst! Now!", Judy said, as she made paw gestures about Luna, who was still cuddling up to her parents.
"I love you, mommy. I love you, daddy.", Luna yawned. Nick and Judy felt their hearts leap at the simple statement. She let out a squeal as she shuffled herself into a comfortable position, making their hearts melt even more.
"We love you too, Luna Elise Wilde.", Nick said. "Remember that."
"Mommy...can we eat at that chicken place for dinner later?", Luna muttered, sleepily. "KFC?"
Judy looked at Nick, who shrugged. "What can I say? Us foxes can be savages.", he said, waving a clawed paw in mocckery.
Judy giggled. "Of course, honey.", she said, stroking Luna's ears. Luna let out a moan at the soft sensation, before curling up her tail, hugging it and drifting off to sleep. Then Judy yawned, and she nuzzled into Nick's chest, hugging Luna and Nick's tail. Nick smiled, before he himself felt sleepy. He burrowed his muzzle under Judy's ears and went to sleep.
Later, they all woke up to see it was half past three in the afternoon, if some of the readers here would consider that the afternoon. Judy yawned as she looked over to Nick and Luna still waking up.
"Come on get up you sleepyheads.", Judy said, as she shook her husband and daughter from their sleep. Luna groaned as she hugged her tail. Nick looked up and rubbed his eyes.
"Hey, Carrots...could you keep it down? Us foxes aren't plagued by your morning attitude.", Nick said. Judy rolled her eyes and playfully slapped Nick on the shoulder. "Ha ha, very funny.", the rabbit said.
"Mommy...KFC?", Luna asked, tilting her sleepy head in an adorable manner. Judy almost went "awww" at that, before seeing Nick do the same next to her.
"Thank you for making me remember how you will spoil almost every cute moment around.", Judy said, in a mock deadpan tone. Nick made an attempt to look hurt, but he kept his grin on his face.
"So...no KFC?", Luna asked, drooping. Judy turned back to the little vixen and started pinching her furry cheeks. "Of course we get KFC you little cute rascal!", Judy cooed, making Luna grin with her stretched face.
Judy stood up and pointed a finger at Luna with authority. "But not every day, OK? Once a week at most.", she said, with a slightly serious tone. Luna nodded like a bobble head, keeping her smile on her face.
"OK, mommy. I love you.", Luna said. Judy blushed and hugged her new daughter. Nick, who was fully awake by now, joined in. He knelt down as
"We love you too.", Nick said, as the three continued to embrace. Then Nick broke the hug. "I'm driving."
"Why? So I can pay?", Judy asked, jutting a hip to the side and crossing her arms.
Nick gave a short laugh. "You know me too well, Carrots.", he said, as he kissed Judy on the forehead.
