Nick was helping shovel the snow from the driveway, wearing his coat. a few of the older rabbits were helping him. Nick picked up a shovel of snow, hurling it into the pile on the yard as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You guys have a big driveway" Nick replied, his muscles tired shoveling as they managed to scrape off the entire driveway. one of the rabbits looked to Nick, thanking him for the assist as he nodded, saying when they finished he was going to take a hot shower, since it was freezing out here as they walked to the shed, putting the snow shovels away, heading back into the house.
Inside Judy was playing a board game with some of her nieces, rolling the dice in her paws as she tossed them to the board, moving her piece. seeing Nick come in from the snow she stood up, tapping one of the kids on her shoulder.
"Mind taking over for me," Judy said leaving to table walking toward Nick as he set his coat on the rack, brushing the snow off.
"Well, someone looks out of breath," Judy remarked as Nick took a deep breath, explained he shoveled the family's driveway and was going to take a hot shower to warm up take a small nap as Judy looked out the window, seeing the work he did as she looked back to Nick, telling him that Bonnie made hot chocolate and he wanted some, he should probably get some before it gets cool as Nick smirked.
"And wait in a long line, I know it's good, but I'll pass," Nick said as Judy shrugged letting the fox go upstairs to warm up with a hot shower.
After which he wrapped a towel around himself, walking back to the guest room. Nick wasted no time plopping on the soft bed, relaxing his muscles on the warm sheets. Nick curled on the bed, letting his eyes drift off into a nap. Rolling on his back Nick looked at the ceiling, breathing calmly as he pulled the sheets over himself for his nap.
It did not take long for Nick to fall asleep as let out a gentle snore that filled the room. Eventually, He was woken up by Judy shaking his arm. Nick opened his eyes, asking if he could have a few minutes to nap.
"You have been asleep for three hours, dinner will be ready soon," Judy said as Nick stretched looking at his watch, realizing he fell asleep for longer than intended as he stretched.
"Just let me get dressed and I'll be right down," Nick said, hinting for her to leave the room as she smirked, telling him not to get used to it. tomorrow they would become husband and wife as Nick admitted he was looking forward to it.
"Judy went downstairs as Nick got off the bed, reaching for his bag, pulling some clothes out, getting dressed, looking in the mirror he admired his appearance, getting ready for dinner. Nick left the room, heading down the hall towards the staircase, walking to the dining room with Judy, who had reserved a seat for him as they sat down getting ready for their dinner.
Nick looked at the food on his plate, which was a pasta dish, Nick complimented on the pasta, poking his fork into the noodles, turning it around, picking it up, placing the pasta in his mouth. Dinner was filled with conversation about the upcoming wedding, some members were surprised they were actually going through with it, thinking it was some joke.
"So, you two met at the academy, how was that" one of siblings asked as Judy went into the story of how they met at the academy of various things that have happened during their time together, mentioning they got staffed together and they really went well together, so they decided to get involved romantically.
"Aren't you two scared about mixing your work and personal life, I mean you two are partners of the force, and soon you'll be married. Doesn't that complicate thing" Another rabbit asked as Judy realized that was somewhat true but assured they were good at keeping the work and personal life separate as Nick smiled?
"Seriously it like she's a different person on the clock, I'm actually impressed how she's able to do it" Nick replied as Judy smiled, nudging his shoulder as they laughed. Judy made some remark as hos she felt they were fated to be together as Nick nudged her back.
"I wonder how the rest of force is gonna react to us being married?" Nick asked as Judy shrugged. even though the mixed couple was somewhat common, being married was something else. They were on terms with the force and some of them seemed to support them.
"I know how Benjamin is gonna react" Nick replied as Judy saw the events playing in her head laughing, the rest of the family did not get the joke as Nick finished his pasta, thanking Bonnie for the meal as he asked to be excused as she asked Judy to help her with the dishes.
Judy felt a bit sore about being called but she wasn't one to refuse to help, watching Nick head upstairs as Judy help, collect the dishes, following Bonnie to the kitchen, turning in the water. Bonnie washed the dishes while Judy dried and help put away.
"You know every time one of my kids gets married I promise I that it will be the time I don't cry, surprisingly I never keep that promise" Bonnie replied as Judy smirked, believe that her dad was the crybaby. Bonnie nodded, admitted her husband was the kind of guy to bawl his eyes out at weddings.
Bonnie handed the dish to Judy as she ran a towel across it, stacking the plate. Bonnie went on about Nick, saying he seemed nice and was glad that he made Judy happy as she smiled.
"Nick is just one letter away from Nice, he told me that joke" Judy replied as Bonnie giggled. The two finished washing the dishes. Bonnie looked at Judy, thanking her as he looked at Judy. I got your sister's Wedding dress clean, I would like to try it on to see if it fits before the big night" Bonnie said as Judy agreed to help her. The two rabbits headed upstairs.
Since Stu often hung at the town bar with his drinking buds after dinner the two were alone in the Parent's room as Bonnie reached under the bed, pulling a cardboard box out, setting it on the bed as she opened it, revealing a white dress.
"I know it's not new and fancy, but it has sentimental value," Bonnie said as Judy held the dress up, pinching the collars as she hugged her mother as she smiled, saying she would leave room for Judy to try it on as Bonnie left the room.
Judy changed for her casual clothes to the white dress. Judy was a bit tall for a rabbit her size so the dress ended at her shins, but aside from that it is a good fit, Judy admired herself in the mirror wearing the dress as she posed, still in disbelief she was getting married to Nick.
Judy's self-admiration was cut off by a conversation outside the door, Judy walked to the door putting her ear against the wood, listening to a conversation between Nick and Bonnie. Nick was asking where Judy was as He wanted to watch a DVD with her as Bonnie informed him that she was tearing on her wedding dress as Nick looked at Bonnie.
"How does she look in it," Nick asked a bit curious, unable to imagine the sight of his fiancee in a wedding dress as Bonnie admitted she had not seen it yet. Nick smiled.
"Did Judy ever tell the story of her engagement ring. when I proposed to Judy I took her out to our favorite restaurant and spend a good sum on the nice diamond ring for her, it ended up falling out of my pocket, so I reach into my pocket to give her the ring, only there was no ring, so I'm standing there not knowing what to do, and I froze up" Nick admitted.
"Did you ever find it?" Bonnie asked as Not revealed he left it in his jacket at the apartment. when he showed it to Judy, she cried her eyes out.
"I'm serious, I'd never seen Judy bawling her eyes out, but there it was right before my eyes" Nick replied as they were cut off by a bang on the door as Bonnie called out for Judy, who replied she finished changing.
"Can I see too?" Nick asked, with a desire to see Judy in a white dress as Bonnie smirked, looking at Nick, saying he could not.
"Don't you know it's bad luck to see your bride in her dress before the wedding" Bonnie replied as Nick turned away, getting the hint, he told her to let Judy know he was looking for her and would be in the guest room. After Nick left the Hallway Bonnie opened the door looking At Judy in the dress.
"You were eavesdropping weren't you" Bonnie called out as she nodded, showing Bonnie her hand which held the Ring Nick had given her.
