Judy was still sleeping and cuddling with Nick, as she slowly started waking up, the bunny ran her paw up to the fox's neck and felt her fur before he nuzzled one of her ears, waking her up completely.

"Good morning, sweetheart" Nick surrounded her waist with his paws and looked at Judy's recently opened purple eyes.

"Morning" whispered the bunny before giving the fox a sweet little smooch on the snout.

He answered with a gentle kiss that made Judy close her eyes again as they both let their tongues enjoy a pleasant dance and Nick caressed one of the bunny's ears with his paw. She pressed her chest against the fox's and wrapped her arms around Nick's neck before rolling on the bed until the fox was the one on top, once they broke the kiss, the two panting mammals looked at each other with a smile on their faces and flustered cheeks.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Nick?...Judy?...breakfast is ready" Connie's voice called them from the other side of the door.

"We're coming" the bunny broke the silence after she stared at the fox for a couple of seconds.

"You know you could've waited a bit so we could-" got to whisper Nick before Judy took his breath away with a kiss that almost made him fall off the bed.

"Maybe we could continue with this after tonight's date," said the bunny as she playfully caressed the fox's fur.

"Our first date" added Nick before slyly kissing her on her snout.

Judy smiled after receiving the sweet kiss, then she put on a pair of shorts and the fox got a shirt before they left the room.

"Wait, Nick…" the bunny grabbed his paw before they walked downstairs "...how do you feel about telling your relatives about...us?"

"I'm okay...I wasn't planning on telling them right away but if they ask I wouldn't mind telling them about…us" smiled the fox.

After a few seconds of holding paws, the couple separated and walked downstairs where all of Nick's relatives were, they greeted each other before gasp*sitting down.

"So...how was yesterday at the beach?" asked Vivienne as she filled her mug with coffee.

"How do you know we were at the beach?" said Nick confused.

"Olivia called me saying that she couldn't come to work today because she hurt her ankle playing volleyball with you" explained her mother.

"Well...we had fun" commented Connie as she spread jam on her toast.

"Yeah" added Tom before some awkward seconds of silence.

"Nick and I are going on a date tonight," said the bunny as she got close to the fox, whose ears tensed and cheeks blushed.

Judy's words were immediately followed by surprise gestures and compliments from Nick's relatives.

"How was it?" asked Beth, who wasn't the only intrigued fox in the room.

"Well...we came back from the beach and Nick and I were alone on the porch so...I asked him out" explained the bunny with a cute smile on her face.

"Aww...she asked you out?" a few foxes asked in unison.

"Yeah...I was gonna ask her but-" Nick looked away to hide his blush.

"You were?" Judy's ears leaned back as she gave a dreamy look to the fox.

"Yep," Nick slyly smiled at the bunny before giving her a little kiss.

"Awwwww," they all said.

The couple looked at each other with slightly flustered cheeks before smiling and looking away.

"Oh...look at the time, I'm gonna be late for work!" Beth broke the silence and got up.

"I'll go with you" Linda wiped her snout with a napkin before standing up.

"I should get going too…" Viv walked towards her son and kissed him on the forehead "...goodbye, Nicky...Judith" the vixen hugged the bunny and looked at them both before smiling.

"Connie, are you coming?" asked Tom as he put his jacket on.

"Oh no...my throat is a little sore…I think I'll stay home" she said hoarsely.

"Okay then, see you later" he walked out of the house with the three other vixens.

"Connie do you want me to bring to anything for that throat?" asked the fox as he pointed to the kitchen over his shoulder.

"Some warm milk with honey would be great, thanks..." coughed the vixen before Nick walked out of the room "...so...what happened after you asked him out?" Connie's hoarse voice suddenly disappeared.

"What?" said the confused bunny.

"Oh c'mon...tell me everything" the vixen got closer to Judy.

"Well…" she looked around "...we kissed on the porch and then...went to bed"

"Went to bed...huh" Connie smirked.

"We didn't do it...but we did cuddle...it was nice, I felt so comfortable and warm in his arms" smiled the bunny while crossing her legs.

"Aww...you two are the cutest couple"

"This morning he woke me up with a kiss and then we kissed a bit more until...you kinda interrupted us"

"Oh god...I am so sorry…" the vixen apologized "...look if you want I can go upstairs to take a nap and then you two would have all the living room for yourself, what do you think?"

"Oh, you don't have to do that...I need to look for a restaurant and all that stuff"

"Well I can help you with that," said Connie before the fox came back.

"Here's your milk…" Nick put the glass on the table "...and here's what the cute bunny ordered" he kissed Judy between the ears.

"I think I'm going to my room and lie down for a while," said the vixen with her hoarse voice.

"Wait...I'll go with you, then you could help me with the restaurant thing"

"Okay," Connie walked up the stairs.

Before the bunny went with her, she walked towards the fox and stood on tiptoe to give him a little kiss.

"I'll see you later" whispered Judy before smiling and going upstairs.
