"you sure you wake Nick." Bonnie said.
"yes, I did, here a pitcher." Judy said showing her mother the pitcher of Nick with all the bunnies.
"Aww, how cute." Bonnie said.
"you think so, but then this happens." Nick said walking in with a few bunnies clutching on to his shirt, two slung on either of his shoulders, and one over his face with a drool line going down his muzzle.
"oh my." Bonnie said, "if they're still sleeping, then they're not going to get their apple pancakes." She said knowing fully well they were just pretending.
"apple pancakes!" almost all yelled and jumped off Nick and ran. All except one, the one on his head.
"Hey, apple pancakes." Nick said to the bunnies.
"oh no, Jacana is one of the few bunnies that acutely sleep in if you leave them to it." She said and grabbed the bunny off Nick's head.
"thank, I'm going to take a shower." He said wiping the drool from his face. "save me a pancake or two." He said leaving.
"I promise nothing." Judy said. "but you better hurry, if you want to eat anything at all." She said pulling off one last bunny that was hugging his tail.
"noooo." The bunny said trying to hug his tail.
"wo, I didn't even feel her." Nick said.
"just watch your back, we can be anywhere."
"Oh, and which one has a show in my size?" Nick asked, looking back. Judy's face just looked at him, "you know, a shower where I can actually fit, a lot of them are really small for me." He said. Judy just tilted her head. "you guys do have a shower in my size?"
Judy just looked at the bunny in her arm, "oh, what's that, you want to go eat, let's go." She said and ran off.
"JUDY!" he yelled.
"what do you want with my daughter?" Nick heard Stu behind him.
"I just want to know which bathroom has a shower in my size." He said.
"sorry, but we don't have any in your size, we've never had to host anyone bigger then hear for over 30 years, that was before Gideon started coming over from time to time. There are a few times when he does spend the night."
"Oh, that's what you and Judy were talking about yesterday, when he stays, bunny pile on him." Nick said getting a nod from Stu, "well anyways, what does he do to wash up in the morning?"
"you know he doesn't live here, right. When morning comes, he always goes home." He said. "but we did make him a shower for him just in case he does need it. But its outside in the back, and it takes a while for the water to heat up." He said.
"yeah, that's not a problem. It's a cold shower that can really wake me." He said. Walking back to his room to get his towel. "thanks."
"Oh, let me just…" Stu grabbed another bunny off him.
"really another one? Is there any more?" he asked spinning around trying to see if there were more on him.
"don't look that way me." He said walking off.
"really shouldn't let my guard down too much, who knows what might happen." He said.
After one wash, and a change of clothing later.
Nick was walking into the dining hall, with more bunnies on him. "am I just some walking playhouse for the little one?" he asked as he was taking a sit with a name tag that said Nick with fox ears and tail coming out his name.
"looks that way to me Slick." Judy said eating her pancakes. She then pushed a plat in front of him.
"that's fluff, I'm starving." He said about to bit him but looked up just in case Bonnie was there waiting to hit him. Nope, and dug right in.
"are you really that scared of my mother?" Judy asked.
"my paw still stings a little." He said with a full mouth.
"first warring, no talking with a full mouth." Bonnie said making Nick flinch, making him almost chock. "just playing, I could never get that one to stick around here." She said looking around at all the children talking and laughing with food flying out of their mouths.
"please don't jump out of nowhere like that." Nick said.
"I'm sorry sweaty, but I have to have some fun around here." She said taking a seat next to Nick. "so, what's the plan for you two?" she asked.
"well, I know more of the family will be coming later today, and the rest of the week, but we really do need to do our work. We're going to need the second library." Nick spit out his milk.
"second?" he said coughing.
"and because we really can't tell anyone, we need all the keys to it so no one comes in." Judy said.
"yeah, sure. I'm just going to need to talk with your father, if he hasn't lost the keys." She said that last part to herself.
"thanks. It should take us like one or two hours to set everything up. And then we're going into two to get everything we might need." She said, biting into her last pancake.
"and when do you get off if you don't have anyone looking over you, and you can't really sign in saying you're working." Asked Tayler.
They looked and saw him pointing his phone at them. "the chief said we can get work as long as we want. Were on our own schedule, just as long as we give him and the station here updates every now and again." Nick explained. "I can feel you typing something Bennie boy. Don't make it about how 'Carrots and I should go on a date'" he said.
"'aww, but you two really need to get together, everyone sees it when you two are around.' TheOneTrueGazellFan says."
"I pretty sure you're on duty right now Clawhauser, it sure would be bad if Bogo found out." She said.
"'it's alright Hopps, we're having a slow day right now.' ChiefBuffaloButt says." Nick was no the floor laughing after hearing this, "oh here come another one, "'WILDE, WHEN YOU GET BACK IT PARKING DUTY IN TUNDRA TOWN FOR A MOUTH!' yikes."
"Nick." Judy was trying to sound mad but was having a hard time with a smile on her face.
After breakfast and as the second library
"and can someone remind me why there's a second library?" asked Nick.
"we ran out of room in the first one for all the book, so we renovated an old living room no one used, and made this." Said Stu walking into the library that was not too big, but it wasn't all that small, about the same size as precinct one's lobby and just that, no second floor or anything.
"this could work, bring in a few chairs maybe a sofa…" Nick said walking around the room.
"this is for our work Nick, remember that." Judy said to him, who was not even listening.
"Well, here's the key to the place." Stu said, giving her two.
"I'll also have one, just to brig snack if ever you're hungry." Bonnie said.
"that's fine, just don't let anyone come in at any time." Judy said.
"sure, thing bun-bun." Bonnie said.
"no problem, Jud the dude." Stu said.
"and then we can have a bulletin…bun-bun, Jud the dude?" Nick said cracking a smile.
"you know, I wonder what Ben would say about this, and who he would share it with?" Judy said looking at her phone of him with the sleeping bunnies.
"you wouldn't dear." He said.
"try me." She said.
This started a stare down, and a few back and forth. But side the library.
"you think they notice that we left?" asked Stu.
"there just like us, when we started dating," Bonnie said.
"but they said they aren't." Stu said, stopping.
"Oh, please Stu." She walked up to him, "have you not seen the way they talk and look at each other. They can't see it, but everyone else can." She grabbed his paw and pulling him along. "now come on Stu, we should leave them be." Stu was just looking back the whole time.
And with that, another chapter over and done with. I don't know how I feel about this, next time they will finally be going out and talking with everyone. And something might happen, only I will know.
