Noisy Daddy

Nick swayed through the store aisles, periodically peeping into the carriage at his little kit sleeping soundly. Johanna was a bit more of a hassle right now, so Nick took her out to calm her down while Judy stayed home with the boys. And it definitely showed to be working as she sucked on her pacifier, sleeping like an adorable log. Although, the lack of sleep certainly shown in the fox's expression too. But not as much as Judy of course. They weren't sure why she was being so fussy, but Judy was just glad to see her finally calmed down. Perhaps she just missed her daddy. And Daddy had been longing for some father-daughter time. A win-win situation.

He grabbed every ingredient he needed for dinner tonight. The last stop was the baby aisle to get some more diapers. His bag was empty, and their supply at home was running low as well. Just as he grabbed the bunny and fox ones off the shelf, Johanna began to move uncomfortably in her seat, but she did not stir from her slumber.

Nick wondered why, bu. His question was quickly answered with a quick sniff from where he was ended his questioning. "Boy, you sure know how to bring tears to a grown fox's eyes, huh Baby Carrots?" Nick chuckled.

He walked the cart next to the bathroom, ripped open the diaper package, and took the carriage inside. A few minutes later, Nick came out holding a clean baby bunny with a pacifier locked in her jaw. He repositioned the carriage and gently buckled Johanna back in. He made his way to the check out lane. The pig gave him a puzzled look when he saw the package of fox, and bunny diapers. He was even more puzzled to see the bunny package already torn. He disregarded it and scanned the item.

All cleaned up and all cashed out, Nick and Johanna made their way out of the store with bags in paw. The fox pulled out the car keys and unlocked the car from afar with a calming *click click*. Nick swung the door open and placed the carriage into the car seat with another *click*. Nick hopped into the front seat and put the keys into the ignition. The fox let out a prolonged, 'tongue-y' yawn. Guess he needed an energy boost, and his stomach could use something too. There was a Taco Bull nearby, so he figured he could just stop at the drive-thru for a quick coffee and burrito.

Nick ate down his burrito quickly as he drove back home. The fox pulled the car into the driveway of their suburban house. He let put another yawn, this time with a stretch as he stepped out. He looked down at his clothes to see himself wearing a wrinkly ZPD T-shirt and blue pants. Did he really look this bad? He disregarded it. His daughter being asleep was much more important than how fashion forward he was while taking a grocery trip with his baby.

Nick swung the door open and began unbuckling the kit. He decided to just leave the car seat, considering he still had to get the grocery bags too. He fumbled the three of them to the door where luckily, it was unlocked. The fox came in to be met with his wife rocking his sons.

"Hey Carrots." He said.

"Hey honey." Judy replied.

She took Alex and Peter upstairs. Nick just put the bags in the kitchen and went to the living room recliner with his coffee and his baby.

He pulled the lever and his legs kicked up while his torso leaned back. Nick placed his paw on Johanna's rump to make sure she didn't go anywhere.

Nick felt his eyes grow heavy, and soon enough, he fell asleep with his daughter. The baby was nice and content, snuggled warm against her father's chest. That was until he started producing snores.

Nick didn't snore loud, certainly not like Finnick, but it was louder than usual. Most likely fueled from the lack of sleep. The kit opened her eyes. She lifted her head and watched her daddy sleep soundly, a bit annoyed that he woke her up. Nicks muzzle came down, booping Johanna gently on the nose.

She blinked every time he breathed through his nose, blowing into her face. Suddenly, Johanna lifted her paw up to her dad's big purple nose, blocking both of his nostrils.

Nick snorted and shook his muzzle, jerking him from his sleep. At first, he was not pleased. Who woke him from what was his first nap in a few days? When he looked down at the tiny culprit grabbing his nose, his angry frow turns to a smile, and then a small chuckle.

"Sorry Baby Carrots. Did noisy daddy wake you up with his snoring?" He asked playfully. Johanna's eyes just grew heavy again as she fell back asleep.

Nick gave another chuckle as he raised the incline so he wouldn't snore as much as he slept with his daughter.
