The next day, they were in the conference room as the Chief had commended Nick and Judy for saving Gazelle and then gave the list of duties to the other officers and Judy was starting to wonder if her and Nick would be handed a patrol when he said.

"Wilde, I want you to patrol the rainforest district and Hopps, I need you to fill out the paperwork from your recent case."

"What?! Chief, that's not fair! Nick needs to fill out the paperwork too, we worked on the case together!"

"But I can't read Wilde's handwriting, at least you have excellent penmanship and fill out the case details. Trust me, it's better this way."

She grumbled as they made their way out.

Nick smirked, "Tough luck, Carrots."

"If I didn't know for a fact that you have such poor writing skills, I would have fought harder with the Chief…"

"And the fact that you love me so much…"

"Yes. Yes, I do. Now go on and patrol before Chief thinks you're slacking off."

"Aye-aye." he mockingly saluted as he saw her heading toward their office. He quickly went to the front desk to see Clawhauser giggling over his phone while texting. "Gazelle?"

"She said she'll pick me up at seven tonight and that she can't wait. I just told her I couldn't wait either. What about you guys? Any big plans tonight?"

"Oh, we do, we're finally going to have that date."

"Awesome!"

"But I'm bringing an extra special surprise…"

"What is it?!" he could barely keep in his excitement.

Nick lowered his voice, "I'm going to propose to Judy…"

Ben let out a large gasp and almost shouted, "YOU'RE GOING TO-" but Nick managed to muffle his loud mouth.

The fox had to shush him, "Judy's stuck here doing paperwork because I asked the Chief to help me out while I go buy a ring… Then later tonight, I'm going to ask the question… but you can't say anything! No matter what… Got it?"

The secretary quickly nodded his head and said, "I promise. Oh, this is going to be so amazing!" he did a tiny squeal.

There she was sitting across from him and he was feeling nervous. He didn't understand it. It's like I'm getting cold feet before the engagement! It's the perfect chance to propose and I can't work up the nerve to do it!

Judy could see the turmoil in his face, "You okay?"

"Uh… yes! I was just thinking about… something."

"You seem troubled by this something… You know you can always tell me anything."

"Even if it's just a question?"

"That too. You can ask me anything. I'm always there for you…" she touched his paw.

Suddenly that one touch made him feel at ease and he started pulling the ring box out of his pocket and hid it behind his back. "So you are… so you always will be… Judy, my life had no meaning until I met you. I was just this lowly pawsicle hustler with a label I thought I couldn't get rid of, until you showed me I could take a different path… I never felt happiness like this in a very long time. I don't want that happiness to end…" he slowly revealed the ring, "That's why, Judy Hopps, I want to ask you: will you be my wife?" he braced himself for the answer.

Judy was speechless as she stared at the diamond ring. She was in a total daze.

Nick waved his paw in front of her, "Carrots? Earth to Carrots!"

She shook out of it and gave a loud… "YES!" she leaned in and grabbed for his face and kissed him passionately.

*Some time later*

They had a hard time choosing where to have the wedding, but they finally decided on the police academy as it was important for the both of them and it had wide open spaces for Judy's very large family.

Everything was set. The cake, the flowers, the music… Gazelle offered her services once she had received the invitation, then later Judy asked her if she would like to be a bridesmaid as well. She was more than thrilled by the honor.

Judy had Fru-Fru the matron of honor and a couple of sisters from the same litter she was born in as bridesmaids. Her youngest sister was the flower girl while her youngest brother was the ringer bearer since Nick didn't have brothers or nephews to do it. Nick's best animal was Finnick and his ushers were Flash, Ben, and the Chief.

The wedding went on as Judy had imagined it would be and Nick's dream came true when he saw her walking down. Once the rings were exchanged and they kissed the crowd gave out a great cheer and threw rice in the air.

That night at the reception, Gazelle was singing the songs as everyone danced and when it came for the bride and groom's first dance as newlyweds, she sang her song, 'Try Everything'. Ben was watching her and she noticed. She smiled as she gestured for him to join her. He got excited and did a little skip as he joined her and sang with her.

The couple on the dance floor saw this and just gave amused smiles. They could care less about Clawhauser's singing. They stared at each other and didn't say anything. They didn't have to, they knew how far they had come since that first meeting. From con-artist and police officer to rivals, frienemies, friends, partners, lovers, and finally, husband and wife.

When it was time to go on the honeymoon, Judy quickly threw her bouquet and to their amazement, Gazelle caught it as she was standing next to Ben who was blushing furiously. They went into their squad car that had a large sign on the back, saying, 'Just Got Married'. As Nick drove them away their friends and family waved them off and shouted out random goodbyes of good luck and congratulations.

Judy couldn't help but ask, "Think Gazelle and Ben will get married?"

Nick smirked, "If they're anything like us, then I say there's a fair chance…"

"I love you, Mr. Wilde…"

"I love you, Mrs. Wilde…"
