Leave your reviews down below if you want to see more!
A few days have passed after the incident at the Natural History Museum, Dawn was found hiding in a box and arrested instantly and I currently awaiting trial.
Judy was checked out of the hospital with merely a sore leg but she was told by doctors not to put much pressure on her leg when walking.
Nick was checked out of the hospital after receiving his antidote and now he is normal and happy like he should be, he was shocked to hear what he did when he went savage but he was relieved that he didn't hurt Nathan any further.
The Tiger said checked out after receiving his antidote and thankfully didn't have any severe injuries, he was surprised that he was tame as a baby and was relieved he didn't attack anyone.
Nathan however wasn't so lucky.
Due to the powerful punch recieved from Jesse from the train car chase, his right leg and arm were badly damaged, his bones were snapped.
He was currently in a mild concussion, the doctors said he will get better but he might have a case of amnesia.
He had suffered too much, his old parents treated him like dirt, he was beaten and after nearly being eaten by his old Dad, he left his home and found Nick.
2 months of happiness and love lead to pain and grief when predators started going savage, and things got worse when Bellwether came to power.
Nathan lay down unconscious on a white hospital bed wearing a white hospital gown, he had tubes around his body absorbing infected blood and measuring his blood pressure which thankfully was normal.
A heart rate monitor slowly beeped and beeped in sync with Nathan's heartbeat as he slept.
Nick sat by his side and just looked at his unconscious son.
He didn't want it to be like this, he wanted Nathan to feel happy and safe again.
But the train chase changed all of that, when Nathan valiantly stood up to Jesse and attempted to prevent him from grabbing Judy.
Costing him an arm and a leg in the process.
Nick slowly let out a tear and the glass hospital door leading into Nathan's room opened.
It was Judy, she was wearing a pink flannel with blue jeans and she was holding flowers in her paws.
"How is he?" Judy asked softly as she stood at the other side of the bed.
"He'll live thankfully, but he mightn't remember you, me and himself" Nick said as he gently cried.
"You're saying he might have amnesia when he wakes up?" Judy asked.
"Yes" Nick said.
"I'm sorry Nick, it's my fault" Judy said.
"Judy, how is it your fault?" Nick asked.
"If I hadn't dragged you two into this case, none of this would be happening, I probably just ruined the life of an innocent child" Judy said as she started crying herself.
"Judy, it's not your fault, it's Bellwethers, she was the one who started all this, she was the one who was making predators go savage, and me" Nick said.
"When you put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad" Judy said as she wiped her tears away.
"Are those flowers for him?" Nick asked, pointing at the mixture of exotic plants.
"Yes, I bought them from my family market, I hope your son gets well soon" Judy said.
"Thank you" Nick as he took the flowers and placed them on the small white desk next to Nathan's bed.
"Oh and Nick, I was wondering, since I'm on medical leave, I was wondering if maybe, you wanted to, hang out?" Judy said nervously.
"Hang out with a bunny? Should I?" Nick thought.
"You know what, why not? At least you're someone that I can trust" Nick said happily.
The door opened again, revealing a Tigress nurse.
"Mr Wilde and Mrs Hopps, visiting time is over now since I have to do a medical examination on Nathan so may I ask you to step outside?" the Tigress said.
"Yes Doctor" Nick said as he looked back at his son and lay a kiss on his forehead.
He saw that Nathan's heartbeat slightly increased by a small margin, that put a smile on his muzzle along with Judy.
"Don't worry Nick, I'll do everything I can to make sure Nathan will be fine again" the Tigress said.
"Yes doctor" Nick said and he and Judy stepped outside the room and prepared to leave the hospital.
Nick slowly cried as he and Judy carefully walked through the hospital.
"Nick, Nathan will be fine, I know he will" Judy said as she placed her paw on Nick's back.
"What if he doesn't?" Nick asked "Nathan is...The best thing that's happened to me since, forever, he opened a new life to me and I've never been so happy before" he said as he continued crying.
"I know how you feel, I remember when my little brother Sam got in a farming accident and he was unconscious for 2 weeks, while he did have a slight case of amnesia, he quickly recovered and he is still happy to this day" Judy said.
"That doesn't cheer me up" Nick said.
"I know, but you make a great dad" Judy said.
"Foxes are very devoted parents, if only society would pay more attention to that part of foxes" Nick said.
"I understand Nick, so do you want to hang out today or do you need time by yourself?" Judy said.
"I'd rather be with you, I need to distract my mind" Nick said as he smirked.
"That's my fox, let's go" Judy said as she and Nick left the hospital.
Will Nathan fall under the influence of amnesia? Or will he remember anything? Find out in the next chapter!
