Judy looked at Nick as the soft knocks continued. Tilted his head, his usual smirk was absent, "You expecting someone fluff?"

Judy ground her teeth as she slammed her fork on the table nearly spilling her drink. "No, and I swear if that asshole is on the other side of that door, his teeth are being knock in." Before Nick could stop her, she had hopped off the chair and stomped over to the door and grabbed the knob to fling the door opened as she started to yell.

"Listen here you piece of trash you had better make your self scarce before I...MOM...DAD?" Her rant ended as she lost her voice seeing who was at the door. Nick curiousely walked over, noticing Bonnie and Stu Hopps standing in the hallway, mouths agape with look of shock and concern on their face. As he went to say something, even he was nearly speechless as he noticed who was standing behind them with the same face. He coughed to clear his throat, "Mom?"

Both Judy and Nick looked at each other then back to the three older adults in the hallway and spoke in unison, "What are you doing here?"

Bonnie's face lightened as she elbowed her husband, "Oh me and your father was in town anyway for the farm expo, and on the way off the train Mrs. Hareson called explaining what her son had done. We figured we would stop by to see how you were doing when we ran into Nick's mother in the elevator who was on her way here to make things less awkward for her son." Bonnie smiled as Vivienne stepped forward, "Since my son was worried about making a simple breakfast for Judy, I figured I'd come and make it less awkward by joining you." She sent her son a sly wink, causing the todd to roll his eyes.

Judy stepped the side, her face loosing the harsh edge at once as her parents and Nick's mom stepped into her apartment, loving the impressed face on her mom's face. She remembered a while ago her mom telling her that she needed a much better apartment instead of that shoe box she had original moved into when she first moved to Zootopia, and back into after she had fully healed from the museum adventure. She sighed happily as her mother seemed to approve of the new place rather quickly. She gently closed the door as Vivienne sat at the table, looking over the amount of pancakes Nick at made, inhaling deep. "MMM Nicky, things smell heavenly. Wasn't sure a wayward kit like yourself had learned to cook without your loving mother there to teach you." Stu and Bonnie shared a chuckle, as they and Mrs. Wilde shared stories about both their children as they made their way to Judy's apartment.

"Jeez ma, after being on my own for so long I had to learn some skills. But to be fair, these are from Mrs. Hopps's recipe book." Nick smirked as he pulled a few plates out of Judy's cupboard.

"Wow look at you ...convincing a mother to let one of her personal recipes out to the public." Vivienne smiled as she took a plate, placing a pancake on it, relishing in the sweet scents.

Bonnie smiled as she also took a plate, "Oh no I've gotten quite immune to the silver tongues of the younger generation, this was because my little Jude the dude needed cheering up.

A snerk from the stove caught their attention. Nick gave Judy a large grin, his canines flashing, "Jude the dude?"

Judy gave the todd a hardened glare, her voice gaining an edge that sent a shiver even up Stu's spine, "If you EVER say that at the precinct, I will shave your tail and dye you a nice pink color." Judy grabbed the top of his apron and pulled him close to her face, his muzzle very close to hers. A predatory glint in her amethyst eyes, "Got it slick?"

Nick just nodded vigorously. Much to the amusement of his mother, who glanced over to Bonnie who also seemed amused by the two's antics. Nick passed around pancakes as they all sat down to eat, none noticing the deep thinking Stu seemed to be going through.

During breakfast, stories that seemed to distract Judy by talking about several embarrassing stories that got Nick to turn even redder and Judy to gain a pink undertone to her grey fur. Everything from Nick covered in bubbles in the bathtub to Judy breaking her arm while trying to out-climb a squirrel classmate. After breakfast, Vivienne mom and Judy's parents had left with promises to visit again.

Nick had just finished cleaning the dishes as Judy closes the door on Bonnie and Stu as they left to go to the expo. "So Fluff, ready for our weekend jog?"

Judy beamed a large smile, "Yep just go get your clothes changed and we can go."

Nick gave a overacting bow and left, leaving Judy all alone with her thoughts. Her smile fell as the idea of being alone again caused a tear to roll down her face. She sniffled and wiped the tears away, swearing to hold her head up high and not let it get to her. She smiled as she grabbed her phone and headed out into the hallway to wait for her partner to try and return to a normal way of life.
