Hello my faithful fans, thank you so much for your patience on this chapter. I had changed this chapter about five times and was getting frustrated so I took a day off only to find I had a bad case of writer's block. But I woke up this morning and finally finished writing this chapter hooray!

This chapter is a little more mellow because our soon to be parents needed a break from berlin and his madness. But don't you worry, the next couple of chapters the plot thickens. Nick and Judy needed a break, so they are heading for an extended stay at the Hopps farm. Enjoy!

I own nothing

Day 2

Early morning.

Nick sighed at his cup of coffee, stirring the black mixture with his paws. It was 3 am and he couldn't sleep, he hadn't been able to sleep these past two nights now. How could he? Knowing that his wife was in danger or supposedly was…. but she couldn't even remember what had happened.

When she awoke a couple hours after Nick made a phone call to the Hopps household. Nick ran to her side in an instant wondering if she is alright.

Confused she stared at him, "Why wouldn't I be?" as she gave her arms a good stretch.

She doesn't remember…. She doesn't remember what happened last night.

Nick made no hesitation to finish packing their bags and fly Judy out the front door. She questioned him, yelled at him, even gave him the silent treatment for a while. But he didn't care, he was taking somewhere far away for now.

The Chief had called him a dozen times, he answered and told him they were both safe and leaving for a while. The Chief didn't argue, "Take as much time off as you need", Emma didn't text him either which he was perfectly fine with. He was done…with everything, he even turned off his cell phone.

His head burst from exhaustion as he laid his head on the cold table in the Hopps kitchen. They arrived two days ago, and Judy was more than happy to tell them the good news that they would be having two girls and one boy. Her family were overwhelmed with joy as they held Judy and Nick close.

Nick hadn't mention to Judy that there stay would be extended for the time being, but she had noticed his behavior and of course he lied to her, but she was not convinced. Now she was sleeping soundly in her bed as he was downstairs about the blow his brains out.

"You alright?" a soft whisper made Nick shoot up right

It was Stu

"Oh heya Mr. Hopps" he scratched his head nervously

Judy's father took a seat next to him, "You know if you and Judy were in some kind of trouble, we would help you, you know that right?"

Nick nodded

"We are just worried about the both you"

"I'm okay, really" Nick sighed

"Stressed?"

"Maybe"

"I understand, first time father isn't an easy gig, heck I remember when we had our first round of kits, I was scared out of my mind. But once you see those eyes and their smiles, it's worth it in the end and having my wife along for the ride makes it even better" said Stu as he laid his hand on Nick's shoulder.

Judy's scream broke the moment as Nick and Stu shot up and ran up the stairs. Nick franticly turned on the lights in their bedroom, Judy was standing up with one hand pressed against her back and the other in the middle of her belly. She hissed as she walked around the room.

"Judy! What is it?" Nick tried to hold her still, but she kept pacing around holding her breath

"Dammit ow ow" she seethed

Bonnie came rushing in alongside Stu. She came to Judy's side.

"Back up boys, this is a job for mom" She placed her hands on Judy's shoulders as she lowered onto the bed. Her belly was the size of a watermelon as she made her sit down and spread her legs a little.

"Breathe with me Judy, in…..out….in…..out" Judy focused on Bonnie as she took in deep breathes as Nick and Stu stood in the corner of the bedroom, both panicked and confused at the same time. Judy's breathe started to slow as she finally spoke.

"One of the babies is definitely part rabbit, he or her just kicked the living daylights out of me" Judy whispered

The baby kicked her?

Bonnie turned to the two panicked men in the corner, "Happens all the time, happened to me when I was pregnant, sometimes they are just little kickers" she laughed.

Nick melted to the floor like a puddle, he wasn't sure how much stress he could take.

Day 4

Judy had noticed Nick's change in behavior, he was restless and on edge. She tried to get him to relax a little, but nothing was working. She still has no idea why he was in such a rush to come here, and he never really explained it to her. Maybe he needed to get away as well, this berlin case was messing with his head.

Berlin

Her body froze as a memory flashed in her mind, pain, fear, and he was there…..she quickly shook her head.

Must have been a dream

It was another bright and sunny day at the Hopps farm, she was laying in the lawn chair, hopefully to get some sun. Nick had left to go somewhere with her father which left her and her mother taking in the summer sun. She had a bowl of popcorn laying on her belly and a glass of lemonade in her left hand.

"Thanks for letting us stay her mom"

"Of course, we love having you here" she sat in the lawn chair next to her, with the biggest and tackiest sun hat she has seen to date.

"I need to do something for Nick, he has been so…. moody"

"Oh sweetie can you blame him? He is a first time Dad and let's be honest here, you are quite a handful"

"Har har"

"Why don't you guys do something special tonight? You know just the two of you?"

Judy took a sip of her lemonade and popped another popcorn in her mouth. She could make him dinner?

Later that evening….

"Ugh Mom make it stop!" Judy screeched as tears started spilling down her cheeks. She was hunched over the bed as her mother soothed her back with gentle pats.

"Wow the babies are having a dance party in there huh?" she laughed nervously.

The babies had been kicking her for the past hour and Judy about had it. She had planned an evening for her and Nick and now she couldn't even get a word in, not even a sentence without kicking aching her side.

Stu had taken Nick to help him with some construction work on the farm, hopefully to ease his mind a little. Bonnie heard them pull up in the driveway.

"Oh God no…not now…ahh!" Judy hunched more, squeezing the bed sheets between her paws. Judy's siblings waited by the door, at least 30 of them tried to huddle threw the small door frame. Bonnie shooed them off as she hurried down the stairs.

Nick and Stu barely made it through the front door until Bonnie met them with a worried glance.

"I don't know what else to do…."

"DAMMMMIT!" Judy screamed

Nick flew past them and hurried up the stairs, Bonnie put a paw on Stu to keep him from following him.

"Let them be" she whispered

Nick went into their bedroom as Judy was panting and crying at the same time. He turned to see her siblings all sticking their heads out of their doors down the hallway. He quickly went into their room and shut the door.

"Carrots!" he rushed to her, "what's wrong?"

"YOU DID THIS TO ME!" she glared

"What?"

"You did this to me! You had to have sex with me didn't you!"

Nick's eyes widened in surprise, "What!? Judy are you out of your mind?"

"How would you like to have something grow inside you for 9 months and then have them start a rave dance party in your stomach!"

"Whoa…Judes. Calm down" he put his paws on her shoulders as she tried to shove him off.

"You hate me!" she yelled

"Judy, don't you dare say that! I don't hate you…"

"Yes you do! you have been avoiding me, you have been moody and stressed! Last time I checked I'm the pregnant one, not you" she gasped in between a set of tears.

Nick gulped loudly, he hasn't realized how his behavior was affecting her.

"And I'm trying to help you! And you won't let me, I thought we were a team" she whimpered

Nick felt guilt itch in his throat. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, cradling her stomach. Judy started to calm down as her tears became dry. He turned her around and had her sit on the bed in front of him. He kneeled down and carefully rubbed her swollen belly.

"Okay kids, I know you're excited to meet us, but it would be great if you would give your mother a break huh?" he soothed. He felt tiny kicks in her sides as she winced.

"Hey! no back talk, dance party is over" said Nick as he carefully rubbed where they were kicking.

Judy let out a sigh of relief as the kicking came to a minimal. She looked at Nick, she was utterly exhausted as she let out a small smile.

"Thank you" she whispered

"Thank you for being such an amazing wife" he winked. Judy slumped into Nick's arms as she let out a large snore and passed out.

Day 5

Evening

Nick rolled over to find Judy's spot in the bed empty, he quickly shot up.

"Judy?"

"Over here" she whispered

Nick squinted, using his night vision he saw she was putting on a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt.

"What? What are you doing?"

"I'm hungry, I'm going to get some fast food"

"Judy's it's 2 am"

"So?"

Ugh, Nick laid back on the bed. "You're going to be the death of me…." He growled, he rolled out of bed and turned on the light. She smiled as he got dressed and she lead them out into the hallway. tip toeing through the front door.

The night was a little brisk as Judy threw Nick the keys to their car. She got into the passenger seat sideways as Nick started the engine and they took off down the dirt road. Nick yawned and rubbed his eyes as Judy was as happy as she came be, bouncing in her seat.

"Where to?"

"McDucks"

"Why?"

"They have the best insect's burgers in town and their drive thru is 24 hours" she smiled brightly

One of those babies had to be a fox if she was craving insects….

"Stop!" she yelled and Nick quickly hit the brakes. They were at a crossroads on the dirt road.

"Don't do that Carrots" he grimaced

"Turn right, I want to show you something"

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Just do it you dumb fox"

He rolled his eyes as he turned right that lead them down a narrower road.

"Okay stop here" she whispered

Nick stopped as Judy quickly hopped out of the car. Nick panicked as he quickly followed her.

"Hey! You can't just do that" he growled, she ignored him as she grabbed onto his paw and lead him into the night. It was a full moon which made the fields exceptionally bright.

"Close your eyes" she whispered and so he did as she leads him by the hand. The once dirt road was now soft between Nick's toes.

"Okay you can open them now"

Nick opened his eyes to see the full moon setting perfectly on a beautiful lake, he looked down to see the sand between his toes as he took in a big breath of fresh air. It was beautiful, but she was the one who really took his breathe away, the moon glowed on her grey fur turning it silver and her purple eyes glowed in the night.

"Beautiful…" he whispered

"Yeah the moon is pretty…"

"I was talking about you…but I guess the moon is pretty too" he laughed as she hugged his arm tightly.

"Thanks for brining me here Carrots, this is really something" he wrapped his arm around her, stroking it gently. She pulled away, seductively running her hand down his arm. She slowly walked towards the lake.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm getting hot, aren't you?" she smiled as she began stripping her clothes.

Nick gulped, his mouth going dry. She was even more beautiful in the moonlight naked.

"Dare to join me for a swim Officer Wilde?"

Nick stumbled a couple of times shrugging his clothes off as she laughed. He picked her up in his arms as he carried her deep into the water.

For the first time in a long time, they finally had some peace.
