Having succeeded in her call with her sister and convincing the doctors to let her take her husband home Judy along with Marian was helping Nick into the family van.

"Almost there Nicky just a little more-and there now let's get you buckled up." Marian said to her son while he was still catching his breath as Judy then turned to her kits.

"Jr can you put the wheelchair in the back please and Stephany make sure he's not knocked around too much ok sweetie he's still weak. Hannah, Violet get in the back seat and buckle up."

She was ordering her biggest children to do tasks that their bunny sister's were not able to do just yet she was not taking any risks with her husband.

"Yes mother."all her Kits replied in unison.

After everyone was situated and in the van Judy started the vehicle she turned to the elder vixen

"Thanks Marian we got it from here we'll see you tonight."

"Sure thing sweetie take care of my son on the way home and call me when you get there." Marian said turning to her son one last time and kissing his forehead before going back to work.

"Will do bye Marian." She said as she pulled from the entrance and began driving home while praying nothing would happen on the way there as she had just gotten her fox back.

A few minutes later down the road a little something known as murphy's law decided to make itself known as a truck driving by sent out a backblast that sounded like a gunshot sending nick into a frenzy.

"TAKE COVER!" he yelled startling everyone in the van as he tried to dive forward only to be held by his daughter Stephany who tried to hold him in place as he began to panic.

"DADDY CALM DOWN! MOMMY HELP!" Stephany cried out trying to keep her father in place so he didn't hurt himself.

Judy pulled the van over to the side of the road and moved to the back as quickly as she could to get to her Husband's side in order to calm him down. "Nick honey calm down listen too me it was only a truck ok." Judy said In a soothing voice as she began to chin the crook of his neck allowing him to breath in her scent.

"Ju-Judy? Wh-what's going on?" her chinning had succeeded in calming her husband down as her kits immediately surrounded their father.

Judy knew immediately what was going on when he began to panic she heard about it two years ago when all the soldiers started coming home from the war and she prayed countless times while he was still in a coma that he didn't have it.

"Nick sweetie I think you just had an attack."

"An at-attack? What do you mean carrots?"Nick said still shout of breath from the panic attack he just had.

He had an idea of what she was talking about but he simply hoped that it was not true until his wife all but confirmed it for him.

"Sweetie I think you have PTSD. We'll have to go to a therapist to be sure but that's what it looks like."

She said before seeing a bruise start to form on his chest from the seat belt and her daughter holding him in place. "I'm going to have Jane check you over when we get home ok."

She knew she didn't have the medical expertise as some of her brothers and sisters and she wanted to make sure he didn't injure himself to badly during his attack.

"Jane she's your sister that's a doctor right?" he asked as his memory was still a little fuzzy and he still couldn't quite remember all her brothers and sisters names.

She nodded at his question and began to make sure he was still buckled in before moving back to the driver seat "yes Nick that's right she's off today and your mom is still working so she's the only choice we have right now."

"Ok Judy lets just get home as quickly as possible ok?" seeing his mate look back at him with worry made him feel broken he was tired of being weak but now finding out his mind was broken as well just made him feel even worse.

Picking up on his tone the little vixen that was sitting next to him spoke up "daddy are you ok? Don't lie mommy made sure we could all tell when someone was lying."

Nick had promised himself on his wedding day with Judy that he would never lie to his family as all that would do is cause heartbreak as even the smallest white lie can turn into the most gut wrenching experience.

"No Steph i'm not ok and I don't think I'll ever be I just lost so much time with you kits but now i'm coming home so i'm doing a little better." smiling slightly as his daughter began squeezing his left paw in ressuence and to his surprise he felt a slight squeezing of his right paw as he saw his son doing the same.

"We're here for you dad we're not going anywhere," his son said to him bringing a smile to his face as his other daughters piped up.

"You're not getting rid of us that easily daddy." Hannah said before turning to her sister. "Right Violet?".

"YEAH! You're definitely not getting rid of me that's for sure." the bubbly force of nature that is known as Violet said causing everyone in the van to laugh which brought up the mood tremendously.

"So Carrots has anything changed around the farm or does it still have that rustic charm?" Nick asked wondering what all was new since he was last home.

Judy shaking her head while driving answered her husband "Not much has changed sweetheart we may have a few new tractors running around but that's about it."

"What about your mom and dad they still hopping about?" Judy should've known his snarkiness would come back into play sooner or later it was something he did when he was hurting emotionally.

"Bad Nick no punnies in the car and yes mom and dad are still around they help run the farm when i'm out visiting you." Judy realized something she forgot to do when she called her sister.

"Oh sweet cheese and crackers I forgot to tell my parents he was coming home today." She said to herself while thinking about the tongue lashing she was about to receive.

"Judy is everything ok up there?" Nick asked her wondering why she went from cheery to dread when he asked her that question.

"Um- yeah- sure i'm fine." Judy said in a nervous voice that's when something clicked in Nick's mind causing him to bark out a laugh.

"Oh you didn't tell your parents did you? Oh things are about to get interesting aren't they?" nick said in an amused tone before turning to look out the window he began feeling dread as the van pulled up to the house one of the things in his life that he truly feared more the death was staring at him from outside the van.

"The Kerfluffel."
