Chapter 2
Their new world was beautiful and reminded Judy of Zootopia, but it was wild and untamed. The humans had settled it only 10 years earlier, and now the settlement was being enlarged to handle the 20,000 refugees. They worked side by side with the humans to assemble the modular houses. The humans accepted them readily since all the refugees resembled animals they were familiar with. The human children found it exciting they could now actually talk to animals like the ones in their story books.
All the refugees were provided with translators which did a fairly good job. Judy found some of the glitches funny, but as the devices were used their translations improved. One thing that improved all the refugees morale was that Gazelle and her band were among the ones rescued. She sang every
night and gave a larger concert on Saturdays. There was a knock on the door and looked through the peephole. Excitedly she opened it.
"Judy!" Gazelle cried lifting her friend into her arms. "Thank God you're alive! Where's Nick?"
"Come on Maria!" she said. "Not so hard! Remember, I'm a delicate little bunny." Maria rolled her eyes. "He's on duty."
She put Judy down and Judy led the gazelle into her living room.
"Duty?"
"Nick and I work in security now."
"So you're cops again. How do like working with the humans? I bet they think you're cute, don't they?"
Judy sighed and laid her head against friend's chest. Maria chuckled.
"So how married life?" she asked and gave Judy a wink.
"Nick and I haven't had any problems."
"And."
Judy blushed and giggled.
"How about you?" Judy asked. "Have you found a handsome Gazelle yet?"
"All the unattached males are teenagers."
"Oh."
"But some of the human males have asked me out."
"And."
"We had dinner and talked about our lives. It was interesting."
"And."
"Most of them kissed me goodnight."
"That's it?"
"I think my horns intimidate them."
Judy clapped her hands and laughed.
"So how did you get rescued?"
"We were on my plane," Maria said "They pulled it into one of their larger transports and then into a starship."
"It's not like those science fictions movies we watched together."
"The aliens are friendly."
"And you can kiss them too!" Judy said and grinned.
The gazelle blushed and Judy laughed.
"How about you and Nick?"
"We were on our honeymoon when were rescued. You should have seen Nick! He picked me up and
ran right into one of the transports. He was so brave!"
"There was one other thing I wanted to ask you about," She said hesitantly. "The repopulation program."
Judy's ears fell and she bit her lip.
"Well…"
"If you don't want to talk about it I completely understand."
"It's OK."
"I think Nick will make a great father."
"I just wish I could have his children."
"You asked the humans about it?"
"They said our genes are just too different."
Judy's eyes became watery and she pulled the emotional bunny onto her lap.
"Judy, I'm going let them inseminated me and have a child."
"That great!" she said excitedly. "I going to do it too."
"Judy, why don't you and Nick come and live with me? I have a lot bigger place and we'll be able to help each other with
our children. Some my band members are living with me too. Or you could have a separate house and live next door."
"I'll talk to Nick and see what he thinks."
"OK. Just let me know."
"Have you had lunch?"
As they lay in each other's arms Judy idly twirled a piece of Nick's chest fur around her finger and sighed.
"So are you excited about becoming a father?"
"Definitely," he said and kissed her. "You have the hard part. How long are bunnies pregnant?"
"Just four months or so."
"I heard that some real aliens are coming here to setup a colony here with us."
"What do they look like?"
"I'll ask and see what I can find out."
"You're working tomorrow, right?"
"Yes."
"It'll be good to be with my old partner."
"And living with Maria?"
"I can't believe you knew her and spent time with her and never told me."
"I was going to, but then…"
"It'll be fine as long you can help each other with the children."
"Thanks Nick."
He pulled his bunny closer and they drifted off to sleep.
