When revising this chapter, all I can think is baby Tarzan, and the lullaby "You'll be in My Heart" :,(


There's No Point Into Being Anything Else

Both Nick and Judy stared at the bundled up cloth that Nick held in his arms. Not a sound was made, yet they could see something small twitching underneath. Just as the fox was about to uncover the young kit, he quickly changed his mind.

"What's wrong?" Judy whispered, the suspense was killing her. Nick looked around worriedly, holding his niece close to him as if he just found a big chunk of diamond, and not letting anyone know about it fearing they might take it away.

"I-uh... I don't want to do this here. I rather we see her where it's safe and clean." With that, he nodded his head to signal Judy to head for the doors. Without wasting any more time, they made it into the cop car, Judy in the driver seat and Nick in the passenger.

Taking a deep breath, Nick hesitantly lifted a corner of the blanket to reveal the tiny newborn. Neither one could believe how tiny the kit was, she was a little bigger than Nick's muzzle. Her fur was a dark dusty brown, yet her tail had a small white tip as if they dunked it in paint. Her muzzle and paws were pink; her eyes and ears were closed, meaning that she was blind and deaf, which was quite common in canines. Her nose was not long and pointy like Nick's instead it was almost the same width as her head and was short and stubby. Even her ears; were small and flappy on the side of her head. In other words, she did not look like a red fox at all. Nick's eyes widen as he looked at the pup thinking that it belonged to a wolf.

"She's adorable!" Judy squiggled, eyes glistening. Nick started at the bunny in shock.

"Ya, but obviously there is a mix up here." He was in complete panic, Judy looked at him puzzled.

Nick, you DO realize what a newborn kit looks like right?" She giggled thinking that he was teasing but stopped when she realized he didn't. The fox just continued to stare into her giant beautiful amethyst eyes. "Have you even SEEN a newborn fox?" Nick simply shook his head.

"Have you?"

"I've seen a couple in my hometown, I'm just surprised that you haven't..."

"I know of them but-I don't know! I never really paid attention to other kids! I didn't even know I had a brother…" Nick just shrugged as his face turned calm and emotionless. "If you haven't noticed the lack of foxes in the City; foxes are nocturnal." It grew silent between the two of them other than the little squeaks that came off of the young vixen's mouth.

"SHIT." Judy said breaking the silence, Nick glanced over to see what was going on. "Car seat." And with that one word, Nick knew exactly what the problem was, making him groan.

"How the hell are we going to get one!" Nick shouted, "For starters, there is NO way I'm standing outside this car with this little thing while waiting for you to go all the way to the store to get one. Secondly, we don't have anything else. No food, no dippers, no clothes-and OMG." Nick slapped his forehead, I. Don't. Have. Money. With. Me. At. The. Moment." He started to grind his teeth.

"It's ok! It's ok!" She put both her paws in the air stretched out to calm him down, "First of all, I think we can let ourselves go with a warning, driving to the store. Look there's probably a car seat inside-I mean how else would they get her here?" Nick looked at her with an exhausted expression. "I'll just go inside, really quick." Once she opened the door the kit started to whimper to full blown yaps.

"Wh-WHAT DO I DO?" Nick looked to Judy for help.

"Don't worry! I'll be RIGHT back! Ok? She's probably just hungry, but the faster I get the car seat, the faster we can get some supplies." And with that, she hopped out. Nick's attention went straight back to the pup. She was fidgeting and thrashing about while making all sorts of noise.

"Hey!" He said softly with a fake smile. He was also gently bobbing her up and down with his paws. "Nonono, shhhh... It's ok! Look Uncle Nick is here! Please don't cry!" Nick could tell that this wasn't helping, "Oh who am I kidding. It's not like you can see or hear me..." And with that, he gently raised her up and place her by his neck. She started to nuzzle her face in his fur and calmed down a bit. "Oh! You like that uh little Lynn? You like-"

"GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOX."

Nick didn't move a muscle. His heart started to beat faster. 'Shit.'

"GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH YOUR PAWS UP." The voice sounded like it was coming from a speaker.

With that Nick slowly opened the door, "It's ok! I'm officer-"

"I'M NOT GOING TO ASK AGAIN FOX. GET OUT OF THE CAR WITH YOUR PAWS UP OR WE WILL SHOOT." Nick quickly covered up the kit with the blanket, and slowly got out of the car.

"PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN!" Nick could see that the officer giving the directions was a polar bear

"IT'S NOT A WEAPON! It's not a weapon. It's just a kit." The poor fox honestly didn't know what to do at this point. He could hear the polar bear discussing something with a mountain lion before talking into the speaker once more.

"WE ARE SENDING AN OFFICER TO GRAB THE KIT. YOU WILL HAND HIM OVER WILLINGLY. YOU WILL NOT MOVE OR WE WILL TAKE YOU DOWN." Nick was so pissed. He resisted growling. He couldn't believe it. After all the bull shit he's been through, he had to deal with these assholes. "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR? FOX." He boomed

"Yes." Nick snarled. With that, a mountain lion walked over and took the small pup away from Nick's arms. Just then Lynn yelped making Nick alarmed and instinctively reached out to the kit to calm her down. "HEY! Be careful wi-" Nick was silenced by a wolf shoving his face on the side of the car. He whimpers as he felt his lip burst open, and could taste blood in his mouth.

"Why are you stealing a cop car fox!" The wolf barked. And that was it. That is what set Mr. Wilde off. He was completely running on instinct at the moment. A deep threatening growl was forming deep in his chest. Then his lips moved upwards showing his teeth before snapping at the other canine.

With that, the wolf grabbed the skin of Nick's neck, pulled it upwards before slamming it down on the ground, and got on top of the fox. soon, a couple of other cops came by and pulled out a muzzle.

Before Nick could see what was happening, he felt his worst fears strapped onto his face.

This was not his day.

Fun fact, foxes are extremely protective of their kits, also the males are great parents/dads. If something happens to the mom or if she is hurt he will take care of her and the kits.
