A/N so my twin Samansa-chan147 helped me with this idea while we were going shopping in Wausau. And she hasn't even read any of my stories, while I read most of hers. An so it is time for some father daughter bonding time with Nick and Mei.

So without further ado let the chaos ensure.

Meihem

The new family of three got home late, with Mei falling asleep in the car. Putting her to sleep in the nursery the two go to sleep in their own room, only to wake up a few minutes later to the sound of crying. Judy walks into the room and brings up the lights with the dimmer so that her eyes can adjust. Lying in the crib was Mei, who rolled over to her side and has big fat tears rolling down her cheeks. Judy slowly approaches and lowers the side so that she is able to pick her up. After Mei is in her arms Judy sits in the new rocking chair, and just tried to calm the cub down.

As the two rock back and forth, Judy is in aware of the eyes that watch from the doorway as Mei rest her head over Judy's heat, and listens to the rhythmic beating. As the tears begin to fall Mei clutches at Judy's shirt and Nestles in. At this point Nick makes himself known, and places his hand on her shoulder. Used to bring snuck up on Judy barely flinches as she looks up and over at him to see that familiar smile. "Here carrots, you get some sleep, and I'll handle Mei tonight and tomorrow."

"Are you sure?" Judy inquires

"It'll be fine carrots, I'll even let you fix my info up from before."

It take a minute for Judy to think about what he means, but once it comes to mind all she says is "oh yeah, that." As Nick takes Mei, who fusses a bit before settling down again. Once Judy leaves the room Nick talks to Mei softly. "Hey sweety, I think I know what is going on, but I'll try to take care of that tomorrow. For now let's just brainstorm on what we can do for you now, huh?"

Mei gives a little murmur and Nick looks to see her eyes closing. Seeing that talking is helping he continues with another thought. "Now let's think of some nicknames for you. Truth be told I'm thinking MJ would be perfect, for you see your full name is Mei Jessica Wilde, so we'll just take the M and J, get rid of the rest, and I'll call you that." Looking back down at her he sees her fast asleep and clutching his shirt in a tight grip, tearing small holes in it with her small claws. After trying to separate the claws from his shirt, Mei only seems to tighten her grip so Nick gets comfortable and continues rocking, only to fall asleep as well, and that is how Judy finds them the next morning.


Waking up in bed alone Judy just thinks that Nick woke up early, but after finding Nick's side of the bed cold she knows her never returned. Getting up, the first room she looks in is the last room she saw him in, and her hunch was correct. There in the rocking chair is Nick with his head hanging over the back of the chair, and Mei safely tucked in his arms. Quickly grabbing her phone Judy stands in front of the two and takes a picture, promptly sending it to both of their parents seeing as how they already know about the adoption. After that is done she heads to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

Knowing Nick had a rough night, and is probably in for a rough day, she makes one of his favourites. Getting the batter made and adding the blueberries, she begins to make the pancakes. After half the batter is gone and eight pancakes are stacked on the plate Nick stumbles into the kitchen with a blarey eyed Mei in his arms. He sets Mei in the highchair, and promptly drops his head on the table once he is seated. Judy chuckles and places the plate of pancakes on the table and passed the syrup.

This rouses Nick slightly but before he makes his own plate he cuts one up into smaller pieces and places them in from of Mei. Judy sees this and panics slightly, "Nick are you sure that's safe?"

Nick nods, "Yeah, her teeth are coming in so she's going to start teething soon. I asked my mother if this was OK before coming down, and she said it was as long the pieces are small." And as they watch, Mei places ones in her mouth and chews it slightly before spring it out slightly and chewing on it again. Judy smiles and kisses them both goodbye before heading off to work, happy knowing that Nick knows what he is doing given that he was an only sibling.

On her way to work though she worries about how to tell everyone about their daughter. Once she arrives she decides to show Clawhauser the picture from the morning, knowing him he'll tell everyone who walks through the door. Than all she has to do is answer questions. Turns out word got out quicker than she thought as for most of that morning she showed the picture from that morning to everyone in the Bull Pen. Then came the assignments, which occupied her thoughts for the rest of the day.


Back at home the two predators finish their breakfast and Nick prepares them for the day. Dressing Mei in plain jean shorts and a simple pink T-shirt. For himself he simply wears his khaki pants and green shirt with his tie. Placing her in the stroller he used for his schemes while working with Finnick. The two set off after Nick packs a bag with all the necessities and they stop at the ice cream parlor where he first met Judy. Upon entering the father and daughter stand in line waiting to get what they need. As the larger mammals pass they either leave or sit down, they give the pair strange looks, to which Nick responds with a smile.

Reaching the front of the line the elephant seems to recognize him, but seems surprised by the new child in his company. "What are you doing here?"

Nick gestures to Mei "well my kind sir, my daughter here has started teething, and I was going to get her a pop that I could melt into smaller ones for her to chew and suck on, to ease the pain. For that reason I would like a red Jumbo pop."

"And let me guess if I say that I refuse to serve you, the rabbit will come and bail you out."

"No sir she is at work, and I will be paying with my own money." He proves this point by pulling out his own wallet.

"Than I refuse."

"I'll pay you double what it costs, and if I remember it is $15 so I'll give you thirty up front." With this he starts to count his money and pulls out three tens.

The elephant sighs "That will be $15." Nick puts down two tens "keep the change." And leaves with a jumbo pop.

Back at home Nick sets Mei in the middle of the living room with some of the toys they got spread about the room. With Mei preoccupied Nick goes about making the pawpcicles. When one is done he gives it to Mei while she sits in her highchair. As he continues making more he is completely unaware of the mess Mei makes until he hears a wet smacking sound. Looking back he sees Mei covered in the melted pawpcicle playing in the puddle it caused on the small table.

Nick chuckles at the cub, and goes to clean it up only for Mei to grab his muzzle, getting the sticky syrup stuck in the fur. And it only gets worse from there.


When Judy returns home, it's to a disaster area. The first few rooms are fine with a few stains but in the kitchen there are red splatters everywhere. There are cooking utensils spread all over the counter, as well as pawpcicle sticks and the large sick from a jumbo pop. on the floor the mess just spread, and in the center of it all is Nick lying on the floor with Mei on his stomach.

"What happened?!" Nick looks up and grins "I was helping Mei with her teething. So I made some pawpcicles for her to chew on, than she started to play in the melted puddle, after that things started to escalate until this happened." And he gestures to the mess as a whole.

Judy sighs, "Fine, you clean up this mess while I try to get Mei cleaned up." And with that she picks up a syrup covered Mei and heads to the bathroom, leaving Nick to wince and state at the mess of the kitchen.

'this is gonna take awhile' is all he thinks as he starts picking up the sticks.

A/N Judy thought leaving Nick with Mei was a good idea, oh how wrong she was. Next i don't know, what do you guess want to see? Or read in this case.
