-The obligatory bunny burrow chapter-

Everyone was dressed.

Everyone was excited.

Everyone was ready to meet the family.

This actually was all true. Judy had thought that Trisha would be nervous leaving the big city and meeting Judy and Sarah's family. She had assumed that being the doe from the outside and meeting the parents would make the brown bunny at least a little nervous. Maybe worried about making the right impression. Or saying the wrong words. Or worse of all, not being accepted by those Judy held so dearly.

If Trisha was any of those things she masked them well. So very well that soon Judy actually began to worry as to why Trisha wasn't worried.

The brown bunny sat on the edge of her seat when they first approached Bunny Burrow. Once in the county limits she changed positions and was on her knees as she pressed her face to the glass. Judy was reminded of how she acted when first arriving in Zootopia and giggled at her girlfriend's antics.

"It's so bright and green!" Trisha exclaimed as she wiggled her tail. "I didn't think the sky could be so blue!"

"Reminds me of a certain someone's eyes," Judy whispered as she came up behind her brown bun and wrapped her arms around Trisha's shoulders from behind. She nuzzled into Trisha's neck and took in the does intoxicating scent. The moment would have been rather romantic if it weren't for Judy's sister who gagged in the background.

"Medical note, patient's condition seems to cause fits of corny one-liners similar to most ZPD foxes."

Trisha snorted at the multi-colored does comment and leaned against Judy.

"She has a point, that one was super cheesy," the doe chuckled as she put a paw on Judy's arm.

"well if you don't like cheesy.."

"I think I made it perfectly clear I don't just like cheesy.." Trisha said softly before looking over her shoulder at Judy who stared at her brown girlfriend. Trisha leaned back slowly as Judy watched. The gray bunny felt a small tongue flick against her cheek which caused her whole body to warm. While some mammals used this as a form of cleaning or playful fun for bunnies it meant something far greater. It was a way of showing their affection without using words.

"How do you do that?" Judy whispered.

"Do what?" Trisha asked innocently as she looked back out the window.

"Get me all wound up at the smallest thing.." Judy said with a tremble as she tried her best to control her emotions.

"Because I am awesome," Trisha chuckled as she gave Judy's paw a squeeze.

It didn't take long for the train to arrive at the main train station just outside of town. Though Bunny Burrow was spread out by farmlands the train station was situated so it was on the edge of the region.

The three bunnies had made their way down to the main car which only had a pawful of mammals disembarking.

Trisha began to shake with excitement as she grabbed Judy's arm with both paws.

"Excited?" Judy asked with a chuckle.

Trisha nodded as she stared at the door and waited for it to open. The way her eyes shined with excitement gave Judy courage to face her family with this new condition.

"I am gonna get copies of all your baby pictures and put them up at the bar," Trisha said as the train door opened.

"Wait what?!" Judy blurted out as Sarah began to laugh at the brown bunnies hijinks.

Before Judy could stop and ask Trisha anything the doe was out the door, dragging both Judy and Sarah out with her.

The platform was surprisingly big for such a small train stop but the reason became apparent. The station wasn't so much designed to accept a mass amount of arrivals, instead, it was large simply to house all the members of a family that may be waiting to greet their loved ones. There were tons of bunnies waiting to welcome friends and family that had just arrived. Trisha looked like a kit in a candy store as her eyes shined at all the bunnies around her. Judy had to remind herself that while Zootopia had many mammals all packed into one city it was rare to see so many of the same species at once.

"Judy! Sarah!" Came a motherly voice through the crowd. Judy scanned the sea of rabbit ears and spotted her mother moving through the crowd. To her surprise, she had come alone, of course, this would probably be best since Trisha would most likely be overwhelmed by the Hopps horde.

Sarah was the first one to make it to their mother and she was wrapped up in a warm hug. The doe nuzzled into Bonnie as she wrapped her arms around the gray bunny's waist.

"Hi mom," Sarah said as she received a kiss on the cheek from Bonnie.

"Oh dear, how have you been? Eating enough? What about sleep?" Bonnie was true to her role and began to pester her daughter about her health almost right away.

"Yes mom, go greet your other daughter and pester her," Sarah giggled as her mother ran a paw over a multi-colored cheek.

Judy was next to get her dose of affection, maybe slightly more so since she had just gotten out of the hospital. Bonnie apologizing constantly for not making it out to Zootopia.

"We wanted to dear, but Sarah said it would be best to let you heal," Their mother explained as she held Judy by the paws and looked at her daughter lovingly. Sarah had told Judy that the very next day after Judy had been shot both Stu and Bonnie had planned to head over to Zootopia to take care of their daughter. Sarah, however, managed to talk them out of it. Much to Judy's gratefulness. She had to agree with her sister. Had their parents come to Zootopia they wouldn't have been able to do anything but sit and wait which would make Judy feel even worse knowing she had put her parents out in such a manner. In the end, it had been best to just let Judy heal on her own at the hospital.

"Its ok mom, really, I wasn't allowed to even see anyone until recently and I would hate for you and dad to just be sitting in a hospital hallway waiting for news," Judy said sweetly. She had actually been glad to know her parents stayed in Bunny Burrow. One because they weren't as accustomed to the city as she was and would need someone to guide them. Two because thanks to her condition she was a little needy when it came to affection and the last thing she wanted were her parents to know she and Trisha were busy getting warm and cozy several times a day…and night.

"Besides I had Sarah to look after me," Judy said as her ears raised up. Her little sister rolled her eyes but smiled none the less, appreciating the compliment.

"Well I wasn't the only one," Sarah said as she nodded over at Trisha who amazingly had been waiting patiently, wanting the three Hopps buns to catch up before she jumped in.

Bonnie beamed at Trisha as she took a step forward. Judy suddenly felt her stomach start to knot. She had never really had such a relationship like this so she didn't know how things would go when introducing a significant other to the family. Especially a doe. While the bunny community was very accepting of same-sex relationships it wasn't a secret that many parents wanted their sons and daughters to go off into the world to make litters of their own.

"You must be Trisha," Bonnie said as she took a step forward to the brown bunny who nodded quickly and beamed.

"Yes ma'am," Trisha said in a respectful manner.

Both Sarah and Judy gave one another knowing looks, Trisha acting this way was somewhat out of character but understandable, she must have been wanting to make a good impression for Judy's sake.

"Ma'am?" Judy asked with a chuckle.

"Oh hush," Bonnie said as she looked back at her daughter before smiling at Trisha. "No need for such formality, you are my Judy's girlfriend, you can call me Bonnie."

"Can I also get a hug?" Trisha asked, her lips breaking into an open mouth smile. Before Bonnie finished nodding Trisha leaped forward and wrapped Bonnie up in a warm hug which was happily returned.

Judy let out a sigh of relief as she watched Trisha nuzzle into Bonnie's cheek which caused Bonnie to run a paw down Trisha's dark brown ears the same way she would do for her daughters.

"One down," Sarah whispered to Judy.

"278 to go…" Judy grumbled.

After loading up into Bonnie's car the ladies headed through town and out towards the main farmlands. While Bonnie had wanted Trisha up in the front seat with her so they could chat Sarah reminded Bonnie that due to Judy's condition it would be best if she and Trisha had the back seat.

"You know, to hold paws….and only paws," Sarah said as she gave the two bunnies in the back seat a serious look.

Trisha stuck out her tongue as she put one of her legs up on Judy's lap which caused Judy to let out a giggle.

Bonnie glanced over her shoulder which caused Trisha and Judy to straighten up suddenly and gave her an innocent pair of smiles, being a mother she saw right through all of this.

"Paws to yourself Judy," Bonnie said in her best motherly voice. "Trisha, she is ticklish underneath the arms."

Judy had a look of stunned betrayal as she looked at the back of her mother's head. Of course, it didn't last long as the gray doe felt a wandering brown paw heading for her arms.

"Don't! Nooooo!" Judy moaned as she tried to swat Trisha's paws away. "Mom, why would you say that?"

"Oh please, she probably knows all your little spots already," Bonnie said knowingly which caused the other three does to fall silent.

"You mean tickle spots right mom?" Sarah asked hesitantly.

"I know what I said," Bonnie shot back as she turned the car on the main street and headed for the edge of downtown Bunny Burrow.

"Oh my gosh mom," Sarah said as she put her head into her paws.

Judy didn't know she could blush so hard as her cheeks warmed and her ears turned a rosy pink.

Trisha however snorted and began to laugh at Bonnie's remarks.

"Oh come on we are all adults here," Bonnie said as she glanced over her shoulder at her daughters who both looked equally embarrassed.

"Judy can very adult," Trisha piped up which earned her a poke from Judy only to have her ear flicked by her girlfriend.

"I bet she can," Bonnie a little too slyly.

"Ok so think I'm just gonna walk the rest of the way," Sarah said as she tried to open the car door.

The rest of the car ride was somewhat uneventful. Bonnie and Trisha did most of the talking. The matriarch of the family extremely interested in the bunny that had bounced into her daughter's life.

Judy was actually rather impressed with her girlfriend and how she acted around Bonnie. As much as Judy loved Trisha she knew how much of a pawful the brown bunny could be and she had worried slightly about how Trisha may interact with other members of the Hopp's family. Trisha, however, must have wanted to make a good impression and it showed because soon she and Judy's mother were talking like they were old friends.

When they finally arrived at the edge of the Hopp's Family farmland Bonnie took a moment to point out a few landmarks as they passed. Trisha was over the moon as she listened to Bonnie tell stories about Judy when they passed certain spots.

"Over there are the fields she used to run for training," Bonnie began to explain as she pointed out the passenger side of the car. "We would sometimes have to go out there and drag her back inside so she could get some rest. She has such determination in her."

"Yes she does," Trisha said as she looked over at Judy.

Judy smiled back at her girlfriend who leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. It was a small gesture but carried so much meaning with it. Judy couldn't explain why but being back home with Trisha just felt exciting. She never thought she would find herself in a situation like this but she was glad she did because Trisha was here with her.

As the car pulled up towards the main farmhouse Sarah let out a low whistle.

"Looks like quite the crowd is here to see the new doe," Sarah teased as she looked back at Trisha and gave the brown bunny a smile which earned her a wink in return.

It wasn't just a crowd waiting outside the farmhouse. It was a mass of different colored fur with so many rabbit ears sticking into the air one wouldn't be able to count them all.

"Oh, my gosh," Trisha exclaimed as she climbed over Judy to get a better view, the gray bunny giggling as her face was covered partially by Trisha's chest. "Look at them all!"

"Oh Stu," Bonnie let out in a sigh. "I told him not to have everyone out here at once. I didn't want to overwhelm Trisha."

"I am gonna get so many hugs!" Trisha cheered which put Bonnie slightly at ease. The older bunny having told her husband to keep most the family in the burrow so they could ease Trisha into meeting so many mammals. From the excitement in Trisha's voice, however, it didn't seem necessary.

"I remember you telling me over the phone that Trisha only has a few brothers so I didn't want to overwhelm her," Bonnie explained as she looked over at Sarah.

"Don't worry mom," Sarah began as her bright pink eyes went back to the brown bun in the back whose tail was flicking with excitement as she stood on all fours and looked out the car window. "Think it takes a lot to overwhelm this one…Judy!"

Judy snapped out of the dreamlike state she had been in, not realizing she had been fiddling with a button on Trisha's shirt which was now open and revealing some of Trisha's brown bust.

Trisha giggled as she leaned down and gave Judy a peck on the forehead, she then re-secured her button and smiled up at the does in the front seat. A pensive look crossed her face however as she looked back at Judy.

"What about my scent?" The bunny asked, sounding somewhat worried.

"That's one of the reasons we are here," Sarah began to explain. "Before we have Judy return to the mass populace of Zootopia I wanted to see how she would do with lots of different scents without having direct access to you."

The multi-colored bunny reached into her backpack and pulled out a small bandana currently wrapped up in a ziplock bag.

"I was wondering what that was about," Trisha said as she stared at the bandana. Judy recognized it as well. Trisha had been wearing it on and off again over the past couple of days. She had even showered with it at one point and sent it through the dryer with her clothing. When Judy had asked what it was about Trisha explained she had orders from Sarah to put the bandana through a series of events with it wrapped around the doe's body somehow.

"Well I wanted you to keep it on the rest of the trip here, however, my colleagues suggested we see if your scent would stay on it without you wearing it for a bit. I kept it all nice and zipped up though so I am confident about its saturation."

Judy was curious what was going on but some movement outside the car caught her attention. She noticed how some of the younger kits were growing impatient at waiting.

Sarah must have noticed this as well as she stuck the now open bag in Judy's face, "Smell."

Judy followed the order and took a whiff from the bag, she felt a wave of pleasure wash over her as a familiar intoxicating scent filled her nostrils. Her eyelids drooped and she let out a soft purr.

"Alright so that worked pretty well," Sarah said happily.

"Bonnie?" Came a muffled voice which caused all the buns inside the car to look over at Stu who had walked up to the driver side window and looked at his wife with some confusion. "You all just gonna stay in there?"

Bonnie rolled down the window and gave her husband one of her famous annoyed looks, "What happened to keeping some of the family in the burrow?"

"Well I tried Bon but you know how the kits can get," Stu said with a somewhat nervous smile.

Bonnie let out a sigh followed by a smile, "You are lucky that Trisha seems eager to meet everyone."

"Well everyone is eager to meet her," Stu said with excitement. Had the older buck looked into the back of the car he would have seen Trisha's eyes widen with excitement.

Bonnie rolled up the car window and then shut the car off. As she stepped out of the vehicle she took a moment to give her husband a peck on the cheek before turning the three other does inside the car. Sarah meanwhile was busy giving Judy and Trisha a little pep talk.

"I am sorry if this all seems so random but we are kind of working blind on this," Sarah admitted. "We have no real data and what we do have is guesswork at best. So we are going to try and learn as much as we can as quickly as we can. Hence the last minute experiment."

"Is Judy going to be safe?" Trisha asked as she scooped Judy's paw up with her own.

Judy looked over at her concerned girlfriend and resisted the urge to just throw caution to the wind and embrace her.

"She will be ok Trisha," Sarah explained with a warm smile. "Now Judy.." Sarah's tone changed slightly as she held the bag with Trisha's bandana out so Judy could retrieve the small article of fabric. "I want you to try your hardest to resist using this. However if at any point it starts to become too much and you can't control yourself I want you to close your eyes, cover your face with this, and take a nice long breath."

"And if it isn't enough?" Judy asked with some concern.

"Then we get you back into Trisha's arms right away," Sarah said firmly.

"And if being in my arms is not enough?" Trisha asked with a mischevious smile.

"You two aren't going to do it in front of the family!" Sarah practically shouted.

Judy felt her cheeks warm once more and suddenly became very concerned. What if she couldn't control certain urges? What if she lost all control and started going into a primal state? What if she stripped Trisha down in front of her family?!

"The barn," Judy said quickly as she looked out the window at an old weather-worn barn near the main house.

"Could do," Sarah said as she looked over at the structure as well. She then looked back at Trisha, "If we start seeing some of Judys more…primal side… I want you to book it to the barn. She will most likely follow you and then you two can..umm.."

"Roll in the hay?" Trisha asked with a suggestive smile towards Judy who giggled nervously.

"Exactly," Sarah said as she rolled her eyes. "But hopefully it won't come to that."

"If I start going too crazy," Judy began as she looked at her sister and then to her girlfriend, "Please…don't let me do anything to the family."

"We got you, sis," Sarah said encouragingly.

"We are here for you sweetie," Trisha said as she pressed her lips to Judy's cheek.

"Ok, think we made them wait long enough," Judy said as she leaned into Trisha's kiss. "Ready to meet my family."

"Hug marathon here we come," Trisha exclaimed as she reached for the door handle.

Hug marathon was right. Once outside of the car the Hopps clan descended on the new arrivals and gathered around the car. Judy and Trisha were the star attractions in the group of course. Many of the rabbits both interested to meet Trisha but also concerned with their sister who had just recently been released from the hospital.

Time seemed to move so quickly during it all.

Trisha meeting Stu was one of the highlights to Judy. Watching the brown buck burst out with laughter as Trisha wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Well she sure is the friendly type ain't she Jude the dude," Stu said as he gave Trisha a pat on the back.

Trisha's ears raised up at the nickname and she spun around to give Judy a teasing look. The gray doe rolling her bright purple eyes, knowing she would hear more about the name later.

Judy kept close to Trisha for the most part but under Sarah's request also tried to see how far she could stand from the bunny without losing control. She felt as long as she stayed within 10 ft of the bubbly brown doe she would be fine.

Judy looked around for her sister to see if she was taking note of Judy and her distance, her eyes scanning the crowd for the multi-colored bunny. Sadly she found the doe, right where she normally was at these kinds of family gatherings. Sarah stood next to the car and gave Judy a weak smile followed by an awkward wave. Judy couldn't help but let out a sigh as she stared at her younger sister.

One of the unfortunate facts about Sarah's unique fur condition was that it was seen as a kind of curse to other rabbits. While most mammals in the city didn't listen to such superstition the mammals in Bunny Burrow still did. Sarah was treated with contempt by most of her siblings. Only a pawful would actually talk to her and of that group, only a few would speak to her in a kind manner. Judy had always looked out for her younger sister when they were growing up together. She had hoped that in time the rest of their brothers and sister would accept Sarah for the wonderful doe that she was. Sadly though it looked liked nothing had really changed. Several of the rabbits around Sarah gave her odd looks or shared whispered comments to their fellow siblings.

Sarah, for the most part, had grown used to it all and ignored everyone else. She stayed focused on Judy and Trisha, taking mental notes on how things were going.

"Can we call you Auntie Trisha?" Came a sweet voice behind Judy. The gray doe turned and saw a rather adorable sight. Trisha was holding a small gray bunny in her arms as she gave one of Judy's many siblings a warm hug.

"I don't see why not," Trisha cooed as she ran a paw down the smaller does ears.

"You gotta come meet the others," the smaller bunny exclaimed as she was set back on the ground by Trisha.

"Oh I will," Trisha said as she looked back at Judy. A look of panic on her face as she stared at the gray bunny. They had some distance between them now which shouldn't have been a big deal. However, the look Trisha's face told Judy that something was wrong.

"Trisha?" Judy asked, her own voice sounding slightly muffled.

It hit Judy so suddenly that she didn't fully understand what was going on. Her legs became weak, her vision blurred, and her head spun as she tried to grasp what exactly was happening. Judy's training kicked in and reminded her not to panic. Panicking doesn't help anyone. She did, however, decide it was best to just take a knee for now.

"Judy are you alright?" Bonnie asked as she came over to help get Judy to her feet.

"Trisha," Sarah said firmly as she hurried over.

Judy felt a paw grab her own. Sarah grabbing Judy's wrist and bringing the bandana with Trisha's scent to the gray does nose.

"Deep breaths sis," Sarah instructed her sister.

"Judy are you alright?" Stu asked in a mild panic.

Soon several other family members began to gather around the doe, only making things worse as they tried to see if there was anything they could do.

Try as she might she just couldn't get enough of Trisha's scent from the bandana. She wanted to remain calm but she had been cut off from Trisha, her family accidentally making a kind of barrier which made it hard for the brown doe to pass. Their scents mixing in the air around Judy, blocking the one she needed most.

"Everyone just give us some air!" Sarah ordered as she glared at the rabbits all around them. "Trisha where are you?"

Judy could barely see anything at this point as her vision went in and out. However, before she completely blacked out she saw a mass of brown fur suddenly leap over the crowd of rabbits and land right in front of Judy. A pair of bright blue eyes filled Judy's vision and she suddenly felt like everything was going to be ok.

"You miss me?" Trisha asked in a playful manner as she put her paws on Judy's cheeks and brought the gray doe's lips to hers.

It was as if Trisha was some kind of antidote to a terrible posion that had been coursing through Judy's body. As the brown bunny gave Judy a firm kiss on the lips the world stopped spinning. The feeling returned to Judy's legs and she no longer felt like throwing up.

She forgot that she was currently sitting in the middle of her family kissing her girlfriend. None of that mattered to Judy right now. What did matter was just how amazing Trisha could be some time. When she leapt over the crowd and got to Judy she hadn't been panicked or scared. She had just been focused on being the cure for Judy.

"Geeze sis, get a room," Came a buck in the crowd. There was a chuckle that rolled around the crowd and Judy felt somewhat embarrassed at what her family was seeing.

"Oh Shut up Ed," Sarah barked.

Judy started to pull away from the kiss but felt Trisha lean a little harder into her as she wrapped her paws around the gray doe. Judy was somewhat conflicted, as much as she wanted to keep the kiss going she felt somewhat embarrassed by the fact she was surrounded by family.

Trisha finally pulled away and smiled at Judy as she rested her forehead against Judy's.

"So guess who is not allowed out of my sight from now on?" Trisha asked playfully.

Judy giggled and nodded, "Guess I wasn't strong enough…"

"Oh you are strong enough sweetie, just think you are a little clingy is all," Trisha teased which caused Judy to let out a soft chuckle.

After a few moments of standing in one another's arms Judy felt her body return to normal. Sarah took a second to check Judy out before giving her sister an encouraging squeeze of the paw.

"We will talk about this later," Sarah said sweetly. "And don't do what I know you are gonna do and get all worried. This was an experiment and I learned a lot..Like how when Trisha wants to get to something she will get to something."

"What can I say," Trisha began as she wrapped an arm around Judy's waist. "When I see a doe I want I take her."

Now back with her brown bun things seemed to be a little less foggy. Sarah tried her best but still had a concerned look on her face from the results of their little experiment. Judy felt kind of bad about it all. She had tried her hardest but she just couldn't be without Trisha for very long as it turned out. Even with the bandana now wrapped around her own neck. She didn't really know what this meant but she didn't care as long as she had her Trisha.

The brown bun would lean against Judy from time to time and nuzzle into her cheek which would get a few playful comments from Judy's siblings. While many of them wanted to meet Trisha and welcome her to Bunny Burrow they still had to keep their distance for a bit since Judy was still in a somewhat fragile state.

Everyone greeted Trisha in a warm manner none the less and gave their sister encouraging smiles. Word of Judy's condition must have spread through the family and while most of them were still confused by it they headed their parent's instructions about getting close to Judy or separating Trisha from her.

Trisha leaned in and gave Judy another kiss on the cheek, her lips lingering for a moment as she rested herself against Judy.

"It is you," Came a smug voice that Judy recognized as one of her sisters. The gray bunny opened her eyes and smiled at her sister Jen. Jen and Judy were just a year apart, the younger bun was a lighter gray than Judy and her eyes were a dark green. An odd look was on her face as she looked at Trisha and then her cell phone. Both Trisha and Judy looked at one another before looking back at the bun with a knowing smirk on her face.

Before either of them could speak Jen turned her phone which had a picture filling the screen. It was a picture taken of a dust-covered calendar of some sort. The kind with the dates on the bottom and a large picture on the top page. It was the picture that caught Judy by surprise. Smiling up at her was a bunny in a pair of firefighter bunker pants. A bright yellow helmet atop her head which caused her ears to fall down her back. She wasn't wearing the rest of the firefighter outfit one would normally see. Instead, she just had a pair of bright red suspenders running up her chest, revealing a lot of brown fur but keeping just enough of her chest covered so she wasn't completely topless. A pair of bright blue eyes shined at Judy along with Trisha's famous open mouth grin.

"Guess ya didn't know you were dating Miss December," Jen said with a wicked grin.


Hey everyone!

Sorry for the long wait between chapters. Between all my other projects, stories, work, and recertifications I have been super busy.

So we finally made it to Bunny Burrow. It's pretty much required in every Zootopia story these days so I decided to see what would happen if Trisha and Judy ended up there together.

As some of you may have noticed Judy's condition in this story has taken a slight turn from the one we all saw in Fox's story A bunny can go savage. I wanted to give it a bit of a change up. Fox has been so helpful and given a lot of suggestions. As always thanks bud for the continued use of Sarah Hopps who I absolutely love writing and totally plan of spoiling her later because she deserves it!

As always thank you all for the continued support, patience, follows, and reviews! It is all greatly appreciated.

More silliness coming soon!
