5 days later...
Judy had Nick's papers turned in and she has to ally managed to get back onto the force after being on medical leave, nothing much happened over the 5 days for Nick and Nathan, just hanging around and doing father and son stuff.
Nick's papers were accepted by the Academy officials, and just in time too as today was the day Nick would have to leave.
Nick, Judy and Nathan were in Savannah Central Train Station, the same Train Station Judy was in when she first arrived in Zootopia.
Nick had a entire bag with him filled with everything he needs, spare clothes, a toothbrush, toothpaste, anti persperent, his phone, phone charger, and some pictures of him and his son.
Judy hugged Nick tightly and cried as the train that headed out to Bunnyburrow arrived in the Train Station.
"I'll miss you Nick, see you in 4 months" Judy said as she cried and sniffled.
"I'll miss you too" Nick said as he hugged back smiling and fought his tears.
"Get out there and prove everyone wrong" Judy said.
As much as she didn't want to, she had to let go as it was Nathan's turn to say goodbye.
"Well son, this is the most time I have to spend away from you, promise me you'll be a good boy" Nick said as Nathan approached him with tears.
"I will, I'll miss you Dad" Nathan said as he cried into Nick's leg and held onto it.
"I know, but I'll be back before you know it, don't you worry" Nick said as he hugged Nathan.
"I love you Dad" Nathan said as he let go of his Dad's leg and sniffled and cried with joy.
The train that took Judy to Zootopia arrived in the Train Station and mammals of all kinds started pouring out of it.
"I love you too Nathan, if it wasn't for you, none of this would be happening" Nick said as he wiped Nathan's tears away.
"Thanks Dad, get out there and make me proud" Nathan said as he smiled.
"I will son, get better before I come back" Nick said as he turned around and faced the train that was going to take him to Bunnyburrow.
He turned around and brought both Judy and Nathan into a big group hug, slightly lifting them off the ground.
"I love you two, be good now Nathan when living with Judy okay?" Nick said as he placed the two back on the ground.
"I will Dad" Nathan said.
"As for you Judy" Nick said as he kissed Judy on the lips unexpectedly.
Judy jumped with surprise but she roled with it.
Nick let go and they both smiled while Nathan looked away in disgust.
"Uh..." Judy said surprised and blushing deep!y.
"I know I'll do great, I promise I'll do you two proud, and Judy?" Nick said as his face turned slightly serious.
"Yes Nick?" Judy asked.
"Take good care of Nathan, he's a good boy, and I know he'll love to be with you" Nick said as he held Judy's paw.
"I will Nick, good luck" Judy said.
And with that, Nick made his way to the train that would take him to Bunnyburrow.
He stood at the door of the train and turned around to see Nathan hugging the leg of Judy while slightly crying.
Nick waved at the bunny and his son and stepped inside the train.
Judy and Nathan waved back as Nick got inside the train and took his seat.
Nick sat down next to the window and looked out, he could see Judy and Nathan waving at him.
The train started moving and Nick waved until Judy and Nathan were out of sight.
"Till I see you again Judy and Nathan" Nick thought as he looked away from the window and let his thoughts take over.
Once the train was out of sight, Judy looked down to Nathan who was cuddling against her leg.
She couldn't help but smile at the small fox, all her life she was told that foxes were sly and sneaky, but Nathan was the complete opposite.
"Well Nathan, let's get going shall we?" Judy said as she rubbed Nathan's head which made him giggle.
"Okay" Nathan said as he looked up and smiled at Judy.
"My new apartment isn't far from here, we can just walk there, if you're up for it" Judy said as she nudged Nathan to let go of her leg.
"Sorry, and I'll try" Nathan said as he pointed to his slightly broken leg.
"Well, you can use me to help you stand up and hop" Judy said as she held onto Nathan's shoulder.
"Thanks, let's get going" Nathan said as he and Judy made their way to the escalators.
Once they reached the exit of the train station while catching a few curious glances from the general public, Judy would help Nathan to walk to her apartment.
Judy couldn't help but show sympathy to see Nathan limping beside her.
They both walked through multiple busy streets, they eventually reached Judy's new apartment building.
It was a 5 storey building with a brick exterior with plenty of windows, the door was painted crimson red and the numbers 217 were initials in a copper bar on the door.
"This is where you live?" Nathan asked as Judy opened the door.
"Yes, it'll take time to get used too and don't worry, the neighbour's are nice, most of the time" Judy said as she held onto Nathan's paw.
"Good to know, so which floor do you live on?" Nathan asked as they reached an open room which he guessed was the reception room.
"I live on the 3rd floor, it's a pretty nice apartment" Judy said as she and Nathan walked into a hallway with a dark green carpet floor and blue walls.
They walked up to an elevator, Judy pressed the up button and the elevator doors opened up.
She and Nathan walked inside and the doors closed as Judy pressed the 3rd floor button.
The elevator made some clicking noises as the elevator music poorly played from the speakers.
"Judy? Are you sure this is safe?" Nathan asked with a scared tone as he held onto Judy's leg.
"It's safe, well, there was one incident where a lion got trapped in the elevator and had to roar to get the attention of everyone in the building since the emergency button wouldn't work" Judy said as she smiled.
"Wow, I feel relieved already" Nathan grumbled to himself.
"I heard that young man!" Judy bantered as she ruffled with Nathan's head fur.
"Well you would've with those sonar antennas on your head" Nathan said as he laughed and smiled.
"You got that right, here's our floor" Judy said as the elevator doors opened and the duo walked out and into another hallway filled with doors with various numbers.
Judy and Nathan walked in the gloomy hallway until they reached door number 312, Judy took out her keys and fiddled with the lock until the doors iconic click was heard.
"And here we are, welcome to my new apartment!" Judy said happily as she opened the door and into a rather nice looking apartment.
A small walkway was the first thing you would see when the door opened, the floor was made of polished wooden planks, the wallpaper was dark blue with lines in all directions going around.
Nathan took in the new sights and smells in his new environment.
He then walked into an open space which was the middle of the apartment, on the left was the living room with a brown leather couch, 2 black luxury seats, a brown coffee table and a flat screen TV.
On the right was a fancy looking kitchen with a red and white slate floor, it had all the usual utensils, a fridge, a sink, a black wooden dining table, a cooker and lots of cupboards, all with a shade of red and blue.
There were a few hallways that must've led to bedrooms, bathrooms or other rooms.
A few windows looked out at the city, it was a nice apartment, it looked like it could support an entire family.
"So, what do you think?" Judy asked as she sat down on her couch.
"It's actually pretty nice, and spacious" Nathan said as he sat beside Judy.
"Yeah, just look at my old apartment, it wasn't as large as a ZPD cruiser" Judy said which made Nathan's jaw drop to the floor.
"What? That's crazy!" Nathan said with surprise.
"I know, but it's true, and since I've gotten a promotion, I need more work space so I found this apartment and I decided to chance it, and it was worth it" Judy said as she smiled and rubbed Nathan's head.
"I guess, so what do I do when you have to go to the station? Do I stay here?" Nathan asked.
"No, I'm taking you with me!" Judy said happily as she slightly jumped on the couch.
"Really?!" Nathan asked excitedly as he wagged his tail.
"Yep, and you get a grand tour of the station with me!" Judy said happily.
"Thanks Judy!" Nathan said as he hugged Judy's body.
Judy was taken by surprise but returned the hug and said "Your welcome, besides, it's thanks to you we solved the Missing mammals case"
"Yeah" Nathan said as he yawned.
"Aw, does wittle Nathan want nap time?" Judy asked in a babies voice.
"Yeah..." Nathan said as he yawned and closed his eyes.
He rested his head onto Judy's lap and curled his legs into his body along with his talk which slightly covered his face.
Judy couldn't help but let out a little "Aw..." when she saw how adorable Nathan looked when he was asleep.
She gently rubbed Nathan's head which made him make little baby noises as well as the occasional purr.
Even if her grandparents always said foxes were makes of the devil, they clearly didn't see this side of foxes.
Nathan looked so adorable and warm when he was asleep, Judy couldn't help but cuddle him up into her lap and gently stroke him.
It was only a matter of time before Judy herself soon succumb to sleep.
She slowly shut her eyes and kept Nathan close to her at all costs.
She was going to defend him with her life.
She promised Nick, she must keep her word.
She won't allow anyone or anything hurt Nathan.
