Hello everyone! Long time no see. Don't worry this isn't one of those AN, where I tell you that this story is dead. In fact, I'm just letting you all know that I am going to fix my mistakes on the old chapters before continuing.
I've been wanting to make some changes for a long time/continue with this story, but you know… Life lol. Like I said I still don't want this story to die, so doing it this way will hopefully get my spark going again.
Also when I started this story-at the end of high school-it was my very first fanfic. My style of writing has changed; but also there are plot holes and grammar to fix. -At the beginning of this story I said that I knew there was gonna be mistakes, and I wasn't going to change them, and I didn't want anyone to correct me: I feel really bad for that but the reason I said that, was because my mom always would be on me for my grammar and mistakes. She would make me feel bad all the time, and I was afraid of random strangers doing the same…
But I recently found out that I was dyslexia so :P
Also, I was afraid that people would review stories as they do on youtube and I'm so happy that's not the case-You guys are one of the nicest people out there!
Again I just want to say thank you all and sorry that it took so long.
Story Summary: Nick Wilde gets a call about his unknown twin's death. Now he must take care of his baby niece as if she was his own. Is he up for the challenge of being a new dad? Or will he try and find a more settable family for the little pup. Maybe with the help of a young bunny friend, who has lots of experience with kits already; will convince the fox that he already found one.
The News
Nick Wilde groaned as he heard the vibration of his phone go off. Thinking that it was Judy, calling to make sure he wasn't late for work again, he sluggishly answered the phone.
"Hello…" he mumbled half asleep.
"Is this Mr. Wilde?" a female voice asked.
"Uh hummmm…." Nick sighed as he massaged his face to try and wake up.
"Nick Wilde." She sounded urgent
"The one and only…" His eyes were still closed.
"Mr. Wilde, I am so sorry to call you at this hour, but…" she paused for a bit before continuing. "There was an accident."
By this time the fox was wide awake, he jumped a little as his alarm went off. As fast as he could he turned off the stupid thing and sat up.
"Mr. Wilde, are you still there?" He could hear the voice ask on the other side of the phone.
"Ya… yes! Uh…." Nick rubbed the back of his neck" What exactly happen?"
Judy walked into the police department with a wide smile on her face, which was no surprise. Pretty much every day she was excited to meet the new changes that came her way.
"Good morning Judy!" said the doughnut-loving cheetah behind his desk.
"Morning Clawhauser." She grinned as she made her way to him. Benjamin leaned over the desk so that they could both see each other's faces.
"Look. I have been dying to ask you if you saw the new music video from Gazelle!" the oversized cat quickly took out his phone knowing that the answer was no. "Here!" he quickly handed the phone over to the bunny. Before she could really invest herself in the video, the doors of the ZPD burst open. Both animals quickly turned their heads to find their favorite fox rushing in.
"Whoa, slow down there." Judy giggled, "It's not like your late-… or something." She trailed off. Nick didn't even knowledge anyone as he speeded towards Bogo's office. She notices that the fox looked messer than usual. His hair was sticking up everywhere on his whole body from stress, the top of his head and neck looked as if he has been tugging on it. His shirt was completely unbuttoned and loosely hung from his body. She also noticed that his tail was sticking out of his left P.J. leg. He looked like he had just gotten out of bed, and quickly put a random shirt on. "Nick!" She hollered before she heard a slam of the door of Bogo's office.
Both Judy and Clawhauser looked at each other in confusion before looking back at the door and seeing the silhouettes of the two animals. Nick would every now and then grab his fur or make random hand jesters as he explained something to the Chef. Almost instantly the big animal stood up from the chair, walked over to Nick, and placed his hoofs on his shoulders. Finally, the door opened.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Nick excitedly pointed at Bogo, as he raced once more to the exit.
"Wilde-WILDE! WAIT FOR…." Bogo hollered as he tried to get the fox's action. "Judy!" He glanced and saw the bunny not too far away, "Go help Nick! Make sure he has a ride and takes care of himself. He will explain everything-Just Go!" without hesitation, Judy ran to Nick as fast as she could.
"Nick!" She yelled worriedly as she looked for him outside. Finally, she got a glimpse of his red fur running down the street, as fast as he could without tripping over from his PJs being put on wrong. "Nick wait!"
"I can't!" he screamed without looking back. "I have to get to the bus before-" Without warning, Nick lost his balance and fell on the hard cement below him. Judy quickly caught up and helped her friend to her feet.
"Let me give you a ride." She spoke softly. Nick's eyes dotted everywhere he was too stressed that he didn't have the time to fully process things. He slowly nodded his head and quickly made it to the cop car. Nick took the passenger side since he couldn't drive. "Ok, where are we going."
"Yelp City." Nick was shaking so much that buckling was difficult. Judy looked a little shocked before asking,
"Isn't that a few hours from here?" she started driving that way anyway. Nick nodded again. Judy was really worried, she never seen him act this way. He's always so calm and collected, 'never show them that they get to you' she remembered. "What's going on?" she said slowly not to freak out the fox anymore. She can tell the anxiety was hitting him hard as his breathing grew faster and shorter. "Nick!"
Finally, the fox calmed down enough to speak as he took a deep breath. "My twin brother and his wife were found dead in a car crash this morning…" he swallowed.
Judy gasps as she tried to speak "Nick, I am so"-
"I didn't know I had a twin brother." He interrupted, his eyes were wide and was, staring out at nothing. Judy was dumbfounded; she didn't know what to say. "How they found out that they were missing," he continued, "was because the babysitter called in saying that they were late." Her ears twitched at the word babysitter, they had a kit? "She's only a few days old… the lady who called me this morning asked if I would take care of her…" it was completely quiet for a few moments until Nick started hyperventilating. His ears laid completely flat. Hopps did her best to calm the canine down while still driving.
"I don't know how to take care of kits! I mean I may look like I do! But that was just because I was trying to piss Finnick off!
"Nick."
But if I don't take care of her, she'll go to an orphanage and rot there till they no longer have to keep her-because who would want a fox as a daughter!"
"Nick!"
"But how am I supposed to take care of her if I'm living underneath old apartments, where leaking pipes are everywhere! I sleep in a dresser for god's sake!"
"NICK!" the rabbit screamed as she punched him in the cheek. She heard him yelp and sighed in relief that he snapped out of that. "Sorry! I don't know why I did that-I didn't mean to-"
"What the hell was that for!" he whined as he rubbed at his sore face.
"You need to calm down." She said gently, trying to get his mind back with her. "At least take your tail out of your pants leg." Nick looked down and quickly fix his tail through the proper hole as best as he could while still buckled. "So ummm…" she tried to ask without getting him worked up again. "How do you know that this is your twin?"
Nick looked off to the side before speaking. "They did DNA testing I guess…" he looked out of the widow glaring "How did she not tell me that I was a twin." Suddenly Nick punched the roof of the car and growled. Judy was a little shocked by the outburst. "Why!" he screamed, "Why why why why WHY!" every 'why' he said was another punch to the car. Judy already knew about him losing his mother years ago, and just finding out that you had a twin brother who you never met, had to be really hard. To top that off, the only relative left was a newborn kit that needed to be taken care of. Nick rarely talked about his father, and when it was brought up, he was always in a bad mood. So she never pushed for details on what that was about. Before long, Nick burred his face in his paws and wept. Judy made sure to stay quiet and let him have his space.
She knew this was going to be a long ride.
