I do not own anything from Disney or characters. I own Snow (Eliza) and McCoy and Luke. Everything else in this fanfiction is all Disney.
(Nick's POV)
I have to pop into the police station today before seeing Snow in the hospital. I walk in and head straight to Chief Bogo's office. I knock at the door and walk-in.
What do you want, Wilde? Said the Chief
Sir, I need about a month off. I said.
Why do you need time off, Wilde? He asked
I said. Snow is pregnant, and she is sick as well. I want to make sure that she gets healthy again and does not do too much during the day.
Snow is pregnant? The Chief said.
Yes sir. She is due in 9 months.
Congratulations Wilde. Time off granted. He said.
Thank you, sir, and I was about to head out the door when the Chief said Wilde sit down. I need to speak with you.
I walked to one of the chairs and waited for him to start talking. Wilde, I need to speak with you about your mate Snow. Said the Chief. I looked at him, ready for him to continue. I need you to watch her and ask her if she has any dreams about her being human again and hearing things that seem real to her.
Why? I asked
Bogo looked at me and said because that is the first sign before they return to their world. I looked at him and said there had been others? He said yes, there had been others, and all of them went back besides two of the ten. The two that stayed grew old and died.
So Snow may stay for her whole life? I said.
Yes, said the Chief, but the odds of her staying are not high.
What about the pup? If she continues expecting it, will the pup go back with her?
The scientists are pretty confident that the two who stayed had their own families and would not have left because the pup is part of this world, and it ties the animal who is not from here more to our world. Said the Chief
So Snow may never leave? I asked
I can not say yes or no, Wilde. It is hard to say what will happen.
I looked at the Chief and said, but if she starts to dream that she is going home, she will more than likely leave? I asked
The Chief said yes.
How do we know how long she has when she starts having the dreams?
It all depends on how many she has. If she gets them once a month, then she could have months. If she has them every night, then she will be leaving any day.
I took a big breath of air and said, " Is that all, Chief? I want to go back to my mate. She might be getting out of the hospital today, and our son McCoy wants to see his mom. His friends next door are great to play with, but he misses his mom.
One more thing Wilde. McCoy, his link is connected to Snow's; if she leaves, he will go.
How do you know that? I asked. Our scientists have found a way to look into their world and be able to take a test on the blood of the animals who come over here. McCoy's and Snow's patterns match. They will leave just like they came together.
I looked at the Chief and said thank you Chief left his office and out the station doors and started to head towards the hospital.
(Snows POV)
I remember closing my eyes because I was tired, but out of the blue, I heard a voice that I had not heard in a long time. Eliza? The voice said. There was another one, saying Come on, Eliza, wake up. It has been months now; please wake up. I even got the vet to keep McCoy alive just for you; please wake up. I miss you. You are my best friend. Luke? I asked myself. The other voice was female, and it sounded like my mom. Eliza, when you wake up, I will take you home. Back home to Pennsylvania on our farm. We all miss you, love; please wake up.
I will take time off from work and Eliza and go to your family's farm. I am not letting you out of my sight for a second if I can help it. I started getting scared and woke up, and I was a fox in the hospital. Right then, Nick came in and saw me looking so scared.
Mate, what is wrong? Nick asked.
I had a dream about my mom and Luke. I said.
Nick looked at me and said you could not leave; you can't leave me. I can not live in this world without you.
I looked at him and said Nick; I am not leaving you. It was only a dream. Nick started to cry. I began to move and tried to get as close to him as possible. My Nick was crying. I had to make him feel better. Why are you crying, love? I asked
I went to the station to talk to Bogo before I came to see you, and he said that he had to speak to me about you, and he said that if you start having dreams, then that is a sign that means you will leave soon. I looked at him and said. I will never leave with a willing heart or mind because I love you, Nick. My mate till the end of time. Nick was on the bed with me by this point, and we both fell asleep. We stayed asleep till the doctor came to wake us up to tell us that I could leave, but I had to have an appointment with him every two weeks. Sounds simple enough, right?
(Time skip 1 month later)
The good news is that I have only had that one dream about my mom and Luke, so at least I know that I will not be leaving any time soon. Nick is happy, and so am I. Besides, McCoy is at the top of his class. He has all A's, and he keeps saying how easy everything is. I smile at him and tell him that he has a memory like an elephant. He smiles at me every time. Nick started back to work today with me saying go! And having to call Judy to get him out of my fur. My goodness, he is watching me like a hawk. He is always willing to help me, which is great until about two weeks ago when I got my energy back and was ready to do things again without help, but Nick wants to help with every little thing.
McCoy, you will miss the bus if you do not get your tail down here and eat your breakfast! I yelled up the stairs.
I turned around to get McCoy's cereal ready for him, but I did not hear anyone coming down the stairs. So when I got stopped in my tracks on my way to the kitchen by Nick, I was surprised. Nick, what do you think you are doing? You need to be upstairs getting ready for work. I said
I am not going to work. Nick said.
Oh yes, you are! I said You are going to go to work when Judy comes to get you, and I will stay home, and I will take a nap if I feel like I need one, and I will only do what I am able.
Nick looked at me and walked to the kitchen to get some coffee. I walked past him to get McCoy's breakfast and asked when are we going to tell McCoy that he will be a big brother? You told me that we should wait till I get better and I am better. Please can we tell him tonight? I asked
Nick smiled at me and said only if you have the energy to talk about it tonight. I wagged my tail and said I would have the energy to do it because I would not have my crazy fox driving me crazy all day long to make me more tired than normal.
Nick just looked at me and said, " Ouch, Snow, that hurts deep in my heart. I laughed at him and walked to the table to put the bowl and cereal on it,, but I still had not heard a sound from McCoy.
I walked to the stairs again and yelled McCoy? I did not get an answer. So I got on all four legs and started to walk to his room. When I got to his room,, there was my little fox crying. I walked to him and wrapped myself around him,, and said little fox,, what is wrong?
I only got a whine and a mumble that sounded like I did not want to go to school anymore.
I asked what has made you think you do not want what to go to school anymore? He looked at me and said because I am a fox. Everyone thinks I cheat on the tests and trick people to make the teachers think I am smart. I looked at him and said well,, that is not true. You are just a very smart kit or pup. You can do whatever you want when you become big like Nick,, and I. McCoy said I want to become a doctor. Doctors are cool,, and with me being to understand them better now,, I now know why they do everything they do, and I want to make people feel better.
I smiled at him and said, " Why don't we go downstairs and see what Nick is up to? I bet he can make you feel better as well.
Ok, McCoy said.
We got down the stairs,, and Nick said the tears were still in McCoy's eyes and said pup,, what is wrong?
Kids at school are so mean to me. They say that I cheat and lie to get good grades and that since I am a fox,, I can not be trusted.
Oh, pup. Said Nick. Do you want to stay home today because of it? I looked at Nick with a sideway look,, and he saw it and kept talking to McCoy.
McCoy said yes,, I do,, papa I do want to stay home today. I want to stay home with you and mom. I saw Nick's face after that sentence left McCoy's mouth. Nick and I have talked to him about calling Nick dad or papa or just Nick before,, but we did not think he would pick to call Nick papa.
Nick had a smile on his face and looked at me,, begging me to say that he and McCoy could stay home today. Nick said it was a very nice fall day and maybe we could go to the museum and the park and go out to eat. I saw McCoy's face begging me to say yes. I had my two favorite boys in front of me,, begging me to tell yes. Who would have thought? I caved and said ok. I will call the school and you. I pointed at Nick. You will call into work,, and you will tell Judy how you got your mate to say yes to you by using our son against her. Yes, Maam! Nick said and grabbed McCoy up the stairs and started to say you know, when I was little, I would get teased all the time as well. Because I was a fox, everyone thought that I could not be trustworthy but remember this McCoy. Do not let them get to you. You do what you want and do not become what they want you to be. You are a fox, but you are the fox who wants to become a doctor. You become the smartest kid and prove it and show it, and you will get what you want, and you will have a very proud mom and dad in the end.
McCoy smiled and said thank you, papa.
Now said Nick, we need to get ready to have some fun! He looked at me and said we will have a great day! And you know what I had to believe Nick, and he was right. During the whole day, we laughed and had fun. I only got sick once, but that was nothing to 2 weeks ago. I was able to dring something with Ginger and felt so much better after.
The museum was fun, and I learned a lot about how Prey and predator became what they are today and how they learned to live in peace. After about 3-4 hours in the museum, it was lunchtime, and we had lunch at a sandwich shop, and then we went to the park. Nick, McCoy, and I had fun till the very end of the day. It was a perfect day, and it ended in a perfect way by us all getting home and me getting McCoy ready for bed and asking McCoy what his favorite part of the day was? He said it was when the jaguar mannequin rowed because papa walked past it and scared him so bad that he grabbed both of us and tried to protect us from it. It was because of your mom that you got him to calm down. We could still be there if you did not start talking to him. We all laughed at that, and Nick just looked at us and said blame the person who wanted to protect you both. We laughed even harder at that.
When McCoy was in bed, I asked him if he would like a baby brother or a sister? He said well, I would love a sister so that you will have another girl in the house. I laughed at him and said what if you will have a baby brother or sister eight months from now? McCoy's eyes went wide, and said really? Mom? Papa? I am going to be a big brother? Nick, and I said yes at the same time and said that is why I was so sick, but at my next doctor appointment, I get to see how the kit is doing. Since I am doing better, I should have a good healthy little fox growing inside me. McCoy barked and skipped, gave both Nick and I a hug, and said I love you two so much. He then went back to bed and said good night. I hope the next eight months go by fast. I said so do I, little fox. So do I.
That night I had another one of my dreams again. I heard Luke telling me how McCoy was barking in his sleep, and the vet has no idea why he is not awake, and the same when it comes to me with the doctors. Our bodies are 100% healthy said, Luke. He said Eliza, I love you so much. I know that we kept saying that we are just friends, but I have learned in the past four months that I can not live without you. I need you with me. I do not care what you do as long as you are beside me. I started to think NO NO NO I am Nicks, mate. I may like Luke, but I do not love him. I need to wake up. I want my human body to die. I do not want to wake up. My life with Nick is better than my human life. I need to get out of here.
Snow?
Snow?
You need to wake up, sweety. Please wake up. I need to follow that voice; that is the name that I have picked after Nick called me it. I need to wake up! Nick, I yelled help me! I remember feeling someone rubbing their face on my face, and I woke up to the need of needing to be as close to Nick as I could. I had my head on his chest and started to cry. I said Luke loves me. He wants me to wake up so that I can be with him, but I hope I never wake up human. I want to stay being a fox and raise McCoy and our unborn kit. I want us to be a family. Please promise me that you will find a way to find me if I disappear?
Snow, you are not going to disappear.
But I might please promise me that you will find a way to find me? I said in between tears. Nick said I would do everything that I can to find you again. You are my mate, and I protect my pack from McCoy to you to our unborn kit. I will protect you all. I kissed Nick and put my head back on his chest, and I felt Nick lay back down, and I had my head on top of him and said Nick, my mate, till the time.
For the first time in 4 months, I heard Nick repeat those words back to me. Snow, my mate, till the end of time.
