Nick never thought that Saturday could come any slower. Kam had been bouncing off the walls in excitement, asking questions about what they were doing, when they'd be leaving, which picture would she like the most. At this point, he was sure Kam was going to start calling her "mom" by the time the play date was over. As much as Nick wanted him to have a mother figure he wasn't so sure if Judy would like a little fox calling her mom.

Luckily Saturday did eventually roll around and Nick was in the process of trying to pack up everything that he'd need for Kameron's episodes. Of course, he couldn't do this without his mother looking over is shoulder.

"Did you pack an extra battery?"

"Yes Mother."

"How about that one shot that the doctor wants him to try?"

"It's right here Ma"

"Make sure you pack an extra bottle of water, just in case."

"Of course Mommy Dearest."

Edna gave her son a unamused stare. "Nicolas Piberius never have I beaten you with a wire hanger for hanging your clothes on it."

Grant howled with laughter from the living room. Nick honestly loved his parents and thanked any higher power out there daily that he was born to them. He's heard so many stories of parents not letting their kids come back even if they had kids of their own. He's even heard of mammals that have taken the kids away.

"Hey Dad you mind distracting your wife so I can get everything packed?"

"Depends on what kind if distracting we're talking about here," he shouted back. "I haven't had use of my lower half-"

"Ew, Dad, no! Think of the children! You know, your son and grandson!"

More laughter ensued from the living room. Nick had never been so glad that Kam was in his room, no doubt making a giant mess. At least he could clean it back up, not so much with Grant's mind.

"I finished getting everything ready anyway," Nick said, shouldering the bag. "We can go get some food one the way to the park."

"Make sure it's nothing too unhealthy."

"Mom I think I know how to be a parent at this point, it's almost been six years since Kam was born."

"And it's been twenty-eight since you were born," she said with a smug look.

"Yeah, yeah you know all," Nick said giving his mother a hug.

He went to Kam's room to get him. Opening the door he saw that he, in fact, made a giant mess of the room that Nick had cleaned the day before.

"Buddy, you are the light of my life but good lord you make messes faster than I can clean them."

Kam looked up at Nick from his place on the floor and gave him a smile that he clearly learned from his father and grandmother. He knew what he did, he just didn't care that he frustrated Nick. Edna always said he'd get a mini him, sure enough he did. He'd have to remember to apologize to her one day for being such a little shit.

"Anyway, we're about to go pick up Ms. Judy, get your collar on and say goodbye to Mamma and Pawpaw."

"Ok Daddy," Kam said getting up and running past Nick.

"I don't run in the apartment the mammals downstairs are already getting angry about your bouncing around."

"Ok Daddy!"

Nick shook his head, rolling his eyes at his son's antics. He was more than glad that Finnick never used Kam to learn how to act like a young cub. Then again part of the act was that he wanted to be an elephant so he really couldn't.

After all the goodbyes, and the many "be careful not to get hurt" from Edna, the father and son made their way to the bunnies apartment building.

Kam talked excitedly as they walked saying all the things he was hoping to do when the three of them made it to the playground. Nick had to keep reminding him that she was a bunny, so was about as big as he was. Though when he thought about it, she'd take it as a challenge.

It wasn't until they got in front of the building that the mood changed. Kam had stopped walking and started shaking. Nick looked at his son to realize he was crying.

"Buddy what's wrong?" Nick said knelling down in front of him.

"Daddy what if I black out and she hates me for it?" The small cub asked.

"Where on earth did you get that idea?" Nick asked wrapping his arms round him.

"The bunnies in the subway," he said sniffling. "They saw my collar and said that I might eat one of them."

Nick felt like he was punched in the chest. He always hated that Kam had to deal with all this. It was bad enough that prey tend to be horrible to predators, but he had the added on pain of others assuming he'd go wild on them.

"Buddy, if you want to just go home we can. Ms. Judy won't get mad if you don't want to go to the park today."

Kam wrapped his tiny arms around his fathers neck sobbing. Nick pulled his son in tighter, ignoring the pain from his still healing shoulder. Kam was far more important than any injury.

"Nick? What's wrong? Why is Kam upset?"

He looked over to see that Judy was standing next to him. He was surprised for a brief moment before remembering they were standing in front of her building.

"Some bunny family said some nasty things about him," he explained quietly.

"I don't want you to hate me," Kam sobbed.

"Kameron you are one of the sweetest kids I've ever met, I could never hate you," she said, hugging him. "How about I just order some food and us three can just sit and watch a movie?"

Kam started to calm down with a large sniff. When all of the snot didn't come off his snout, Kam wiped it off on Nick's shirt.

"Did you just- You little shit!"

Kam let out a small giggle.

"It's an improvement if you ask me," Judy said with a smirk.

Kam started laughing harder at Judy's comment, almost acting like his moment of despair never happened.

"Come on let's get something to eat and a movie," Nick said dryly. "Maybe get me a new shirt."

The other two laughed as they started walking behind the annoyed fox. Nick was sure Judy would make a wonderful mother one day, assuming she'd want kits one day.
