A few days went by, the thought still trails Nick deep within his mind. No matter way again think of, its the only thing that he can see out of the experience in the near future. Pretty soon, be experience will seem as a reality, do to having the holiday here.

Where Nick is right now is his room, sitting at the edge of the bed, thinking about how it will turn out in the end. Even though he is going to spend time with someone he loves around people who cares, he isn't sure how it will feel for himself. And growing up in a harsh past, only God knows what will happen in the end.

As he sits at the edge of the bed, it looks and self in the mirror. What is apparel is, it's a simple concept of an ugly Christmas sweater, showing some things of snow flakes and candy canes trailing all around. The wallet self was color green, given a very soft feel. Though with the Christmas spirit showing on his body, it doesn't show on his face.

Nick sighed as he looked in the mirror, still feeling unsure about how the night will end up. Nick didn't know what to do, should he called in sick or he sure run away. Then, Nick heard a slight knock on the door.

Nick stood up, given a slight work to stand up on his two feet. He walked over to the door and look to the little peephole, noticing it was Alex. He gave another sigh, only replacing it with the slight smile and opening the door. He looks at Alex with a red sweater, seeing gingerbread man and gumdrops frolic all around a sweater. Nick thought it was adorable.

Alex gave a chuckle, seeing the choice of apparel Nick has worn. "Don't you look cute." Nick hummed his laughter, hearing it coming coming from his throat. " Well, you don't look half bad yourself." Nick took his side and pulled him closer, giving him a smile as he stared at his face. Alex started to blush as he noticed Nick was giving some strange actions.

For the honest truth, Nick was still unsure about the situation. Though, he was really happy to see Alex right in front of him. "Nick," Alex said as he gave him the slight push, letting Nick know to release. "Come on, this is a family event you're going to, don't be harassing me too much."

Nick grab Alex's face, turning his head to his direction. He leaned in, pecking a little kiss on his lips. It lasted for a couple of seconds, released by letting go and,moving his,head back. "Now, there might be a little mistletoe, so you might get to do that." Nick laugh at Alex's little remark.

Alex look at the time when is phone, realizing he was very early. "I guess I arrived earlier than I needed to." Nick move the side, waving his arm inside his room. Alex figured it was a sign and just walked in. Nick then close the door and then went to sit inside the chair that was besides desk.

"So, how is life for you right now?" Alex brought up as Nick swiveled in his rolling chair. "Nothing really much. With work and other sorts, there aren't many things I can do. Well, besides my days off where I spend most of them with you or Judy." Alex smirked at the remark. "How about you?" Nick mentioned, asking the same. "Well, besides work, things have been going smooth. I've read book, watch t.v., those usuals."

There was a silence that trailed after. Nick adjusted in his chair and Alex looked at his phone, checking to make sure he wasn't late. Nick felt uneasy, but wanted to get it over as soon as he can. "Should we just go ahead and go?" Nick mention, pointing at the door with his thumb.

Alex perked his ears up and looked at Nick like he saw a ghost. "Well, isn't someone anxious to see my family." Nick gave a little chuckle, trying to cover up his little issue of meeting some of his family. "Oh, you have no idea." Nick said in his mind.

So, they soon went out of the door, into Alex's vehicle, and drove off into the busy night. It's surprising to see the town so busy with Christmas eve happening tonight. As time flew by, Nick Felt more anxious about meeting with Alex's family. Sure, he wanted to do this, but he just feel strong emotion around the feeling of love.

After some time of driving around, Alex soon arrived at his home. Even though NIck has been there before, he has a different feeling about his home. They soon stepped out and walked to the front door, being unlocked by a key and opened from Alex. Nick walked in and the first room to see was at the living room, seeing his mother on the

Couch.

Lydia, the name of the mother, turned around an face a smile as she looked at Alex and Nick. She stood up and walked over to them, hugging there necks. "It's good to see you Nick." She mention as she looked at him, still having a paw on his shoulder. "Nice to see you too, Lydia." Nick spoke with a smile, trying to be normal as he can.

The two were invited to sit down and looked around the spacious living room. For Nick, the thought of having lots of movable room indicate it was a large family. Though, it was nice, it gave Nick a certain lack of comfort for himself. Plus, they had to readjust furniture to make more space.

Time sped by and family started to appear through the door-way. Just like Judy's family, it had aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, and many others that are part of the family. Nick felt like a pecan was placed in an almond container by accident, being one fox in the family people don't know that well or even at all.

Pretty soon, there was a few aunts and uncles, many cousins, niece and nephews all around the living room. Though, with many in one area, there was still slight space to the living room, due to the reason of furniture adjustment.

For the actions, Alex walked around and gave hugs, kisses, hand shakes, what ever to greet a family member in there home again. Nick, on the other hand, stayed on the couch. He was so awkward around the family, like he was some type of ghost to them.

As Nick stayed on the coucdh, pretty soon, another fox sat down and faced his, direction. He had a slight brightness to his orange fur. He smiled at Nick and Nick turned his attention to him. "Hello there." He sounded quite cheerful, having a slight charm surrounding the conversation.

He had his law stretched out at Nick, waiting for him to shake. Nick did shake his law and released his grip, setting it back down into the side of the drink he had in his hand. "I'm guessing your with Alex." He said as he pointed at Alex. Nick looked at the direction he was pointing and saw his other chat with family.

"Yea, I am." Nick spoke as he still looked at Alex. He turned his head back to the male fox and saw him still interested in a conversation. "Oh wait, I didn't say my name. The names Brandon." Nick have little snickers to his forgetfulness.

"I'm Nick." John scoffed through his nostrils with a roll in his eyes, giving Nick a shocked look. "Please, I've heard of you before. The first fox to join the ZPD?" Nick smiled, feeling little relief to his reaction.

Alex soon walked back and noticed Brandon was talking to Nick. "Well, how's the army?" Brandon turned to Alex and gave a bright look on his face. Alex, how you doing cousin?" He said as he stood and gave a hug to Alex. "I see you've met my other." Brandon released from the hug and turned his direction to Nick. "You are very lucky to date someone like him." He leaned with a serious look on his face.

He lift his finger and point right at Nick's nose. "You better be good to him." Nick have a scared snarl to his lip, not sure what about the position. He smiled and started to laugh. "I got you good." He soon sat up and continued to laugh at his joke.

Alex chuckled as he smacked his cousin on the arm. "Why scare him like that?" Brandon looked up at him, still showing how he was amused. "You have to scare them if you want them to be good to you." Nick stood up and stood beside Brandon. "Besides trying to make me wet my pants, did you mention your in the army?"

"Yes, working on machinery and fighting in battle, those things." Nick adjusted his fotting and continued on the conversation of him in the army. "So, what influenced you to join." Brandon turned to his direction a little to Nick and looked at him, intrigued to the coversation.

"It was actually a soldier that convinced me. I was the guy who graduated college, but didn't know what to career in. So, I thought the army was a good choice. After a few years, I have finished my military time."

Nick shook his head with a little poke-out in his lips. "Well, thank you for serving out country by the way." Brandon huffed some air out with a smile. "I appreciate that."

After talking all around, Nick started to feel more comfortable about the family, getting more involved into knowing more about everyone. Though, with it being happy and cheerful, it affected him a little, making him think more about his . Though, he forced himself not to remember the issue. Right now, he focus on the animals around them and trying to make new memories, like like Judy said.

But, the thoughts grew stronger, making him slightly less interactive. Though, it wasn't noticed. With Nick, he didn't know what else would happen. He is,hoping it could go by.
