Just want you guys to know, PM me if you ever have any ideas for the story. I'm sorta nearly out of ideas.
Nick laughed. He had made it to the sink before Judy. There was only one bathroom in the facility. It was quite trashed. There was garbage and graffiti everywhere. The ugly yellow green wallpaper was peeling away in places. The mirror was shattered and indented in the top corner. That caused cracks to split off into every direction. He looked in the bathroom mirror at his wife, who was tapping her foot impatiently.
"You going to stare at me all day, or are you going to wash your face?" Judy asked. Her husband had a tendency to take about twice as long as normal when she was around.
"You know, Carrots. I think that a day staring at you is a day well spent," Nick said.
"Move over," Judy said to Nick. She lightly hip checked Nick to the side. They both went at the task of cleaning themselves up. Judy had admitted that Nick got Judy pretty well, she thought her strike of genius had served it's purpose. Nick had cake covering most of his face, besides the forehead. On the other hand, Nick aimed high and got everywhere above her mouth. Judy closed her eyes and wiped the cake from her eye lids. While Nick had eaten half of his cake, Judy had barely touched her's once. She wasn't big on cake. She was more of a pie fan, and she knew Nick was as well, but he still loved cake. Judy wiped her face with a damp paper towel. She got the last of it out of her fur and turned to see her husband running his face under the hand dryer for a large mammal. Judy laughed. She saw Nick finish and went and stood under it. She reached for the button, but she couldn't reach it. She slightly crouched, let her powerful legs build tension like a spring, and almost jumped, except Nick stopped her in her tracks.
He said, "I'm not the pregnant one. Allow me." Nick slightly bent his knees and hopped up and hit the button. Judy felt warm air flow over her body. She quickly dried off her face. She and Nick looked good as new.
"You know, I hit you with half as much as you did me," Judy said.
Nick laughed. "At least you expected it. Catapulting cake into my face was a strike of genius." The husband and wife walked hand in hand back to the tent.
When they arrived, they could hear Fangmire yell, "The prodigal son and his lover return!" from the table with most the officers. They went back to the table, when Nick saw something that caught his eye.
"C'mon. We half to talk to some people," Nick said, turning his wife towards a table with some smaller mammals surrounding it. They were laughing. As they started to get closer, Judy started to hear them talking.
"And after that, all he does is laugh. Like seriously." One voice said.
"All that effort, telling the Chief off, and he just laughs?" Another asked.
"Bull. He would be whooping and cheering after that," another, deeper, voice said.
"I believe it," another, female voice responded.
"So, Delgato," Nick said, slamming his hand down on the table, making everyone jump. "Telling them stories about me, are we?"
"Jesus Christ, Nick! You scared the living-" Delgato stopped. He looked at the younger bunnies around the table. "You scared me."
"You said nothing scares you," a younger bunny said.
"Samantha, Delgato here is the biggest scaredy cat in the whole ZPD," Judy said. Most of the table laughed.
"Hopps, I swear. If you don't stop talking, I'm going to-" Delgato said.
"Don't forget. Once we get back, somebody's got to do parking duty." Judy replied.
"Aunt Judy, you said that the Chief was the only one who gave out jobs for the day," Samantha's brother said.
"Well, see kids. Your aunt here is the Chief. She was promoted yesterday," Nick said, smiling. Both the kids asked Judy if it was true and ran off.
"When were you going to tell us?" An older bunny asked. He looked to be a teenager.
"Your aunt was going to tell you when she got the chance. She-" Nick said.
Judy cut him off. "Nick. That is not your nephew. That's your brother-in-law, Christopher," Judy said. The table laughed, besides Nick, who was so red that it was showing through his fur. Christopher held out his paw. Nick shook it.
"Don't sweat it, Nick. I've gotten confused more times than not as my parents Grandson," Christopher said. "When you see young kids running around, unless they are really little, they are likely my siblings. I do have one niece, though, that's two years older than me. She's my oldest brother's daughter. The Hopps family is a complicated one, Nick. You have a dozen nieces and nephews, but hundreds of brothers and sisters in law. I can show you your nieces and nephews. Is Alicia here, Mom or Dad?"
"Don't know," Stu said.
"Haven't seen her. Ask your sister," Bonnie said.
"Ugh. Nick, your in-laws confuse me," Finnic said from over the table.
"Judy, were Alicia and her husband invited?" Christopher asked.
"They were, but they said they were caught in traffic and to not wait for them," Judy replied. As soon as she said that, Nick felt a tugging at his tail. He unintentionally lifted it as he turned around. He saw a bunny, no more than 2, holding onto his tail. He saw a female bunny come running towards him.
"Sorry. Sorry. Jack here is always getting into things," she said, tugging at him. "I'll get something for him."
"No, no. He's getting to know me. I don't mind. I won't go anywhere with him," Nick said.
"Are you sure? I don't want him to hurt you," Alicia asked.
"Fox tails can take a beating. I'll make sure not to hurt him," Nick said. She looked relieved.
Then Alicia turned to Judy. "Congrats, Judy." She hugged her sister.
"Thank you, Ali," Judy responded.
A male bunny walked up next to Alicia, holding her hand. Then, there was a loud ting. It happened three times. The tent quieted down.
"You know, when Judy first came to the ZPD, most of the officers, myself included, thought it was a joke. The Chief gave Judy an unsolved case, and-" Delgato said.
"Get to the point, Delgato," Judy called. The entire tent started laughing.
"Okay, okay. I'm sure Bogo would have wanted to be here, Judy. The circumstances are horrible. I want you to know, from everyone at the ZPD, we wish you the best of luck, Chief Wilde." The crowd looked shocked. "To many more, Chief." And Delgato drained his champagne glass. He then walked over to the other officers. Judy's parents started to clap. Soon, more followed. Eventually, everyone was clapping for Judy.
"So, Chief," Alicia said after the clapping died down.
"Yeah, I know. It hit me like a truck. There was a lot of shocks that day," Judy said.
"What do you mean?" Alicia asked.
Judy looked around. Nobody was watching or listening. "Christopher, I trust you enough to know, but don't tell anyone," Judy said. She pulled a piece of dark paper out of her pocket. She opened it up on the table.
"How long?" Christopher asked.
"Give or take 20 days. The doctor says that the heartbeat is faster and he can find no signs of it being a male, so he believes it's a girl. I still have 20-40 days more to go. He honestly doesn't know how long the pregnancy will be. Foxes and bunnies have different gestation periods. Well, Christopher, how does 13 nieces and nephews sound?" Judy asked.
"I think," He said, standing up. "That everyone has a right to know. Tell me you will tell them about this before she is born. And what about your promotion. The wildfire of news hasn't spread to the rest of the Hopps family about the real circumstances, but people will start to put two and two together, Judy. Then, it will only spread from there. And after she is born, what are you planning on choosing? Her or your job?"
"I've been thinking about that," Judy said.
"I've got it, Hun," Nick said. "I can be a stay at home dad."
"I didn't want to push anything on you, Slick. You sure?" Judy asked.
"Sure? What's the worst that can happen?" Nick asked.
"Her accidentally killing herself," Judy said. "Or you killing her."
"Well, Mrs. Wilde. I played a part just as big as you did. I think you need to take your mind off of things," Nick said.
"Get a room," Christopher said.
"I didn't mean it like that," Nick replied. "I meant that she should spend time with her family."
"Whatever," Christopher replied, rolling his eyes.
"He's just a teen, Nick," Judy said as they walked away. "Bunny's have rough teenage years."
"Angel is going to be even worse than you can imagine. That is going to be hell," Nick said.
"So, Nick. Who are we going to tell first?" Judy asked. "My family has a right to know and the officers need to know."
"Let's do your family," Nick said. "Not a lot of them seem drunk."
"Most of my family are heavy drinkers. Even though they are all lightweights, they hold their liquor better than you. Many would drive home if so many cops weren't here," Judy said.
Nick and Judy went around every table with the Hopps at them. They kindly answered their questions, but they really couldn't afford more than a minute or two at each table. By the time they were done with the Hopps family, it had been 45 minutes. "On the bright side, there are only a few tables with police officers." Nick said.
"Yeah, I guess you are right," Judy replied. She went to the first and second tables. They went mostly like Judy's family. Then came the last. Judy repeatedly tried to talk, but she kept getting cut off. Finally, she got fed up with them enough, so she threw the paper into the middle of the table when Nick slammed his hand on the table. "20 or so days. Girl." Judy said. She and Nick stomped off.
"Did she mean parking duty?" Delgato asked. He picked up the paper and unfolded it. "Holy shit." He passed the paper to Clawhauser.
"Hell yeah! You owe me two grand, Jeremy!" Clawhauser exclaimed. Wolfard looked confused.
"Bogo shit. Let me see," Wolfard said. Clawhauser passed him the paper. "Fuck."
"I take it that she's pregnant," McHorn said. "I just thought she was putting on weight, but then I realized that it's Hopps, er, Wilde. She doesn't get out of shape."
The end of the wedding came quickly to Nick. There was still 45 minutes left when they walked away from the tables, but that had been filled with many speeches, mostly towards Judy, with the exception of Fangmire, Finnic, and Stu, all of whom made speeches to Nick. When Nick thanked everyone for coming, he scooped Judy into his arm and ran off. Judy didn't know, but Nick had a new convertible. It was his brother's. It sat 5. 2 in the front and 3 in the back. Judy was confused when Judy was carried to the new car, but she fell in love with it. The power, the smell, the fact that it wasn't a police cruiser. She got behind the wheel and sped off. Into the sunset. Into the mountains.
Thirty minutes later, she noticed it was extremely cooler, so she pulled over and hit the button to put the roof up. Nick punched in the location in the GPS. It was his father's old cabin in the mountains. The property was given to Nick, being the only surviving member of the family. He actually owned several new things. He owned the property of the burned house, his apartment, his mother's house, his mother's car, his father's cabin, his brother's penthouse, his brother's car, his father's business if it wasn't laced with the drug and weapon trade, and his brother's farm. The farm was in bunny burrows, so he had given it to Stu as another birthday gift. He would likely knock down the remainder of the burned house and sell the plot. He would live in his mother's old house, but he couldn't stand to be there, so he would sell it. He had to get rid of his old apartment because it only had one bedroom. Nick laughed. He would likely earn over a million for the properties and his mother's car. They were in high interest areas of town. They would use the cabin as a summerhouse, or whenever Judy got a long vacation. Not only did Nick own two high interest properties, but he also owned 10% of a multi billion dollar company. Nick didn't want to raise his daughter pampered, but she would be comfortable. He knew Judy could quit and the Wilde family would be okay, as long as Furz Industries kept on these high profits, but Judy was the one mammal the ZPD needed. She wouldn't quit.
"Babe, what button is it?" Judy asked.
"Below the stereo," Nick said. Judy pushed the button and the roof came up. She sighed.
"Nick do you want a larger family?" Judy asked out of the blue.
"I mean, do you?" Nick asked.
"I don't know," Judy said. "Nick, I want you to make this call. I found this in the newspaper," Judy said. It read:
'With the immersion of cross species relationships, scientists at Furz Industries have discovered a formula for a way for the male's sperm to seek out any animal's egg. The drug has only one noticeable side effect. The drug causes the male to be sterile after 4 to 6 years. The male would not be able to have children with an animal of the same species or any other species if the original couple have a fallout.'
"You read the newspaper?" Nick asked.
"Don't avoid the question. Do you, Nick?" Judy asked.
"Well yes, but you are the bunny who will carry the child. Do y-" Nick was cut off by Judy kissing him. They broke apart after a long period of time. To Nick, it felt like several sunlit days. They broke apart and Judy started to drive again. They came to a long straightaway and just looked at the stars. There were too many to count. Whenever Judy looked at the stars, she felt very comfortable and relaxed. She felt as though all the problems of the world melted away. But they didn't. Judy snapped back to reality with Nick reaching towards the steering wheel and swerving the car out of oncoming traffic. "I've got you, Carrots. Nothing will happen to you, as long as I'm here." He had simply responded. Judy smiled. She already knew this, but Nick saying it makes it that much more believable. She heard the GPS telling her to travel on this road for 180 more miles, so she let her mind roam in a very controlled manner. She could still tell what was going on in the road, but she just started to think.
When Judy snapped back into reality, she was getting off the highway and onto a dirt road. Judy saw that the road was not exactly the most used road, but it was used heavily. The GPS told her to turn right. She complied. When they came to a trail into the trees and the GPS said that they had arived, Judy was confused until Nick said "Hell of a driveway." She turned into the trail and took it slowly. The trail had many twists and hairpin turns. When she reached the top, however, she was amazed by the size of the place. It looked like a modern log cabin, except for the front being mostly glass and 4 times as big. Judy just now realized that it was snowing. You couldn't really tell in savannah central, but it was mid december. Judy got out and felt the cold snow on her face. Then a breeze came through. The wind chill felt like -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Judy ran to the front door. Nick threw her the key, in which she used to open the door. She didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing. Judy whistled.
"4 floors, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms." Judy said. "Hell of a log cabin."
"I know," Nick said as he groaned and popped his back.
"I guess we are going to have to find the master bedroom, Slick. It's 3 am," Judy said.
They investigated the whole house, but they couldn't find the master bedroom.
"It's 3:30, Nick. I say we go to one of the beds we can find and sleep in that." Judy said.
"Fine with me," Nick said.
They went upstairs to the second floor and went into the first room they saw. It had a full size bed. It was smaller than Nick and Judy's bed, but they started to snuggle and they were soon asleep in each other's arms. Nick woke up at 7:00 and slipped as easily as he could out of Judy's arms. He walked downstairs and walked around. He took in his surroundings. He saw a sticky note on the refrigerator. 'I figured you guys wouldn't bring anything to eat, so I stalked the fridge and cabinets for you. There's a grocery store two miles down the road. C.'
Nick said, chuckling to himself, "Thanks, Clawhauser." Nick opened the fridge and found fresh fruits, vegetables, and other normal things in it. Nick opened the fridge. He found frozen meals in it. He opened the cabinets, finding dried foods, a couple sweets, cereal, quick mix and canned food. Nick searched the cabinet next to the stove and found a griddle. He took out the pancake mix and started to make blueberry pancakes. He went heavy with the blueberries. He also added other fruits and vegetables to half. Once he was done, Nick grabbed a bowl, put some cereal in it and added the almond milk. He had a cup of coffee in his hand and one by Judy's plate. Nick sliced a few strawberries and added them to his cereal along with a paw full of blueberries. Nick was fond of both blueberries and strawberries. He also grabbed the bagels and put spread on one and put it on his plate. He grabbed one for Judy and put of some carrot flavored spread on it. He was done, so he figured he would go and wake Judy up. He went around the corner and saw Judy walking towards him.
"I can smell it from upstairs. Was it old stuff?" Judy asked.
"No. Benjamin got us some stuff. He did it probably the night before yesterday. There's a store two miles down the road," Nick said. "We are mostly out of blueberries, though." They went into the kitchen and ate at the island. Judy honestly thought the pancakes were amazing. Most mammals went light on the fruits and vegetables, but Nick knew Judy well enough to know not to go light with the fruits and vegetables. Clawhauser somehow knew Nick and Judy's favorite maple syrup as well. By the time Judy was halfway done, Nick was completely done and was enjoying his cup of coffee.
"So. We need more blueberries?" Judy asked.
"Yeah," Nick replied.
"Then go get some. It's in the middle of nowhere and it's only two miles. You'll be fine," Judy said.
"Judy, we got almost two feet of snow last night," Nick said.
"In four hours?" Judy asked.
"Welcome to the mountains," Nick said, holding out his arms. Sure enough, Judy looked at the window of the front. There, she saw it piled up two feet. "We're snowed in, Mrs. Wilde. What would you like to do?"
