Nick's Family Chapter 7

After all the missing mammals were taken out of the Cliffside Asylum to be relocated to a new facility and Judy took care of all the paperwork at the ZPD. Nick and Judy decided to walk each other home for some well deserved rest before the big press conference in the morning.

"I don't have to be there, if you don't want me there, Carrots." Nick said walking next to the hero bunny cop.

"Nick, I want you to be at the conference with me." responded Judy as she turned her head to look at the fox. "I couldn't have done this without you."

"I quess I'm just as nervous as you, fluff. Are you nervous by the way?" Asked the fox.

"A little bit." the bunny answered honestly. "But as long as I got you by my side I'm sure I'll be okay."

That last sentence triggered a surprised look on the fox's face as he turned to look at her.

"You...want me by you're side?" Nick asked.

"What-uh-um... I-I mean yeah of course." Judy nervously answered while realising the last thing she said. "By the way. What was in that gumbo of Mama Oldie's?" Judy asked trying to change the subject.

"What do you mean, Carrots?"

"I mean I smelled the vegetables and hot sauce in that soup. But I smelled something so unfamiliar in it. What was it?"

"Well...shrimp, chicken and crawfish."

"Meat!?"

"Yes, meat. Long ears."

The bunny couldn't believe that she thought a soup with meat in it would smell so good. Which almost made her feel a little sick.

"You know, one of your little nephews drew me a picture. It was a picture of me in a circle with you and your family." Judy told Nick.

"Ahh. That's Little Dude. So he put you in his circle of trust. Well you deserve it."

That made Judy's heart flutter hearing Nick say that she deserve it. Then she looked up at that fox's handsome face giving that 'devil may care' smile made her heart beat a little faster. She then looked down at his butt. Just thinking how cute it was, till she realised her paw was reaching out to touch it. She quickly pulled her paw back when she snapped back to reality. Feeling really embarrassed. But luckily for her, he didn't notice and they made it to her apartment.

"Well this is where I live. See you tomorrow, slick." Judy said as she walk up the door and waved goodbye to Nick.

"See ya fluff." Nick replied as he walked away, watching the rabbit go inside.

'I think I'll go stay with my family tonight. Instead of that crappy apartment I live.' Nick thought to himself, as he took a short cut to get there.

Judy made it to her room. Put her keys and phone on the desk as she laid down on her bed, thinking about what to say at the conference tomorrow morning. But mostly thinking about Nick. Wondering why she felt this way? 'Why does he make me feel like this? Why do I feel happy around him? Why do I feel safe with him? Why do I trust him with my life so easily? And why do I have butterflies in my tummy when I think about him?' Her train of thought was broken do to her loud neighbors Bucky and Pronk.

"HEY RABBIT. JUST SAW THAT FOX OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW. WERE YOU ON A DATE OR SOMETHING? ARE IN TO THAT SORT OF THING? WELL CAN'T BLAME YOU, OTHER THEN THAT UGLY SHIRT HE'S WEARING. HE'S SO HOT. DOES HE SWING BOTH WAYS? WE CAN SHARE IF YOU-"

"SHUT UP. MAYBE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SHARE HIM. I DON'T CARE HOW HOT HE IS. AND YOU DONE BROKE HER TRAIN OF THOUGHT."

"AH SHUT UP!"

"YOU SHUT UP!"

Judy not knowing who is saying what and not caring. Puts a pillow over her head to drown out the noise and tries to go to sleep.

"NICKY'S BACK!" shouted the Francine along with the rest of the family. As Nick walked over to a near by log to sit. He went ahead and told everyone all about adventure him and Judy had at the Cliffside Asylum.

"Wow, Nicky you a hero." cheered uncle Lewis.

"No no...carrots is the real hero. I just help her out." replied the modest fox.

"That rabbit is no hero." Viper hissed "She wouldn't have gotten far with out you."

"Come on viper don't be like that." Nick softly said followed by a yawn.

"Awww, is our little kit sleepy?" Nick's step-mom asked in a sweet tone.

"Yeah, I do need to get some sleep for the press conference tomorrow with carrots." answered the tired fox.

"You can sleep with me, Nicky" Viper replied in a seductive tone. "There's more enough room for both of us handsome."

Viper laid in her patch of a bed in a sexy position while giving Nick a seductive look that would make any male crazy with lust.

"That's okay sis. I still got my old bed." Nick said as he walked over to his old patch.

"Don't call me sis. By the way...you want some blueberries?" Viper asked holding a small pack of blueberries with her tail. "I know there your favorite."

"You know me so well vips." The fox said while walking to the sexy snake.

Nick tryed to reach the blueberries but Viper put them behind her back. "No no Nicky. First get this one first." She said as she put one blueberry in the tip of her mouth. She was the only viper born without fangs and teeth. So it was just gum. But it didn't make her less pretty. It might strangely made her more pretty.

Nick reached his paw to get it. But Viper said "No. Use your mouth."

"WHAT!? Viper I'm not going t-"

Viper didn't let the fox finish his sentence as she made lip contact. Causing Nick's emerald eyes to shoot wide open, as he felt her forked tongue in his mouth. It was a shock to him. But to her, it was magic. She felt like she could fly. Feeling eternal happiness. Until Nick pushed her off before yelling "WHAT the Hell was that about?"

"Kissing you silly." Viper giggled.

"Your my sister." Nick stated. Those words broke Viper's heart. She then back off and apologized for her actions. Which Nick forgave her. Then he walk over to his patch and went fast to sleep.

Viper went to her private spot to pout about being rejected. Just to have Mater and Mushu come over to tease her.

"Haha. Got rejected didn't ya?" teased Mushu

"Girl done gots' puts in da' sister zone." Mater also teased. "Dats even worst den da' friend zone. Haha dats worth hanging yourself ov-"

Viper rolled her tail into a ball and punched Mater in the face slamming his head against a near by boulder. Then wrapping her tail around Mushu neck and threw him face first in the mud.

"Viper. I thinks you done clipped my favorite tooth." A dazed Mater said before passing out.

Viper didn't listen to what Mater said, she just cried herself to sleep.

( After the press conference incident and Judy finds out what the night howlers really are. She goes to Finnick to ask him where to to find him. Which he tells her he went to see his family. Judy still remembered wear to find them.)

Judy was relieved to have found the spot.

"Nick...Mama Oldie...Francine..Frank.. Viper..Lewis..Ted..Crush...Little Dude..Mater..Mushu?" Judy shouted hoping to get someone to answer. But no reply. She knew they were there. They were hiding from her. Which weighed heavy on her chest.

"Look everyone I know I -"

What cut Judy off was the picture that little dude drew for her laying on the ground. But it was different. She was no longer in the circle. But outside the circle where it says 'Bad, hateful, deceivers, untrustworthy.' This broke Judy's heart enough to make her eyes moist.

The silence was finally broken by Viper.

"You have some nerve showing your face here. How dare you return after what you did. I should kill you where you stand." The angry snake said with undying hatred as she slithered towards the bunny.

Judy tried to catch her breath from the fear and sorrow. "Look I know what I did was wrong and I broke your trust. I know your trust is very sacred to all of you. I betrayed Nick and and all of Zootopia. I'm really really sorry."

"Oh you don't know what sorry is you evil bitch. They say foxes are untrustworthy. Well they never met you." Viper hissed with venom in her voice.

Judy's eyes started to water. Hearing such hatefulness. But Viper wasn't finished.

"You rabbits are all the same. I mean it's in your biology. Always thinking every mammal bigger then you is savage and bad. You rabbits are no better then cockroaches. Your kind don't care about the ecosystem, overpopulation or any one else. You won't stop having kids. I bet you have more then 200 siblings don't you. How many kids do you bunnies have to have to feel like you have a fucking family, huh?"

It was every single ignorant, hateful and hurtful stereotype about bunnies she has heard all at once. Judy started to cry.

"Awww, you sad? Upset? Did I hurt your feelings?" Viper said in a mocking matter. "All I did was just state the facts it's not like other mammals do what you rabbits do."

Judy raised her paw gently up. Then Viper used her tail to grab a rock, raised it up in the air threating to hit the bunny's face with it. Causing Judy to step back with a gasp. Then what flashed threw Judy's eyes was the press conference. She saw herself talking about predator's savage biology. Saw Nick get angry at her, her trying to justify her stupid careless actions. Then threating him with fox repellant. Judy realised that Viper was putting her in the same position that she put Nick in. Like holding a mirror up to Judy. Showing her and making her feel exactly the same way she made Nick feel. Which made Judy disgusted with herself. She hated herself more then before.

"Look I care about Nick." Judy finally spoke "I screwed up. I never wanted to hurt Nick, it wasen't intentionally. I never wanted to hurt anyone. It just happened that way. I don't why I said all that stuff. Or why I pulled that fox repellant on him. I just reacted I didn't think. I know what the penalty is for breaking a reptiles trust. If you want to kill me. I won't stop you. I hurt Nick, I hurt all of you. But if you tell me where I can find Nick and tell him how sorry I am and do everything I can to make it up to him. And fix all the damage I caused. Just please, give me another chance to make things right. To trust me again." Judy finally let out a loud sob. Put her paws on her face.

Judy felt something on her foot. She looked down and saw Little Dude. Smiling at her.

"I trust you Judy." the baby turtle said. Turning Judy's tears of sorrow to tears of joy.

"I trust you too, bunny fu fu." Mushu said.

Uncle Lewis and Ted at the same time.

"We trust you."

Frank and Francine "We trust you."

Then Mater, Crush, all the reptiles.

"I trust you sweetie." Mama Oldie said with a loving and welcoming smile.

The bunny was so overwhelmed with joy, that she began to hug everyone. Being so greatful for gaining their trust again. Plus having their forgiveness. From everyone except Viper. Who gave her dirty looks. She slithered up to the bunny and told her that she better do everything she can to make it up to him. Judy said she will.

"You know where dat, old abandoned factory is? He's under the bridge sweetie." said Mama Oldie.

"Oh. Thank you Mama Oldie so much."

"Well, what you waiten' fer? Go git your fox and make things right."

"Yes yes, thank you all. Goodbye."

"Go Judy!"

"YEAH GET ER' DOOOONE!" Mater shouted.
