Uncle Nick

It was Friday night, and Nick was slumping his way out of a restaurant, soaked in red wine, by his date. He's been in the slumps lately, and has been rather distant to others. So when his date told him that he should open up a bit more; Nick opened up a LOT more. He started monologuing about how his life seems dull and repetitive lately. How he missed out on so many opportunities. All the way to the point of him forgetting that he was talking to someone and not himself. "And the only reason I'm even here, is so that I don't have another night at home, reminding me just how wonderful my life is. Heck. I don't even want to be here! The only reason you're here, is because you need someone to be affectionate to you, and give you attention. When really. You don't even know the word 'relax' or 'hang out'. It's all about 'tell me I'm pretty' or 'how cute my personality is' or 'what do you like best about me'. It's all about you, when really-" he was brought back to reality when he felt the cold, heavy scent, slash onto his face. So now he's on his way home, scolding himself.

"What was I thinking!" He screamed. He then closed his eyes, "Just shut up," He whined while shaking his head. He then took his phone out from his pockets. "And smile. No good ever comes from talking." He noticed that he had a missed call, and voicemail. He then clicked to listen to it.

"Hey Nick, it's me Judy!" Nick stops walking altogether as his heart skips a beat. He hasn't her her voice in a while in a long time. "We, are moving BACK to Zootopia! Can you believe it!" He almost dropped his phone hearing the good news, but his face grew a wide smile. "Yeah, I just got off the phone with Bogo. Remember how he said that there would always be a spot for me in the Z.P.D. If I ever wanted to come back. Well… TURNS OUT WE ARE GOING TO BE PARTNERS AGAIN!" Nick heard her squeal and could help but laugh a little. "I found a great school for Jason, he's already thinking of what district to see first. CALL ME! This is very important. Ok, bye." And with that the voicemail ended. Nick couldn't stop smiling. He slowly brought the phone away from his ear, and stopped to fully process what he just heard. He shook the cobwebs from his head, and quickly called her back. They talked for a few hours, by this time he was already home, laying on his bed, already planning out the night that they would meet again.

"Hey, so I was thinking, after diner, maybe we should go by that one wine bar you love so much. You know that old cheese loving mouse-you know, the one who always tried hitting on you, I think he's still alive."

"Oh god, how old is he?"

"118 by now," Nick, snickered sarcastically, he could hear Judy laughing on the other side of the phone. She was busy packing so she had him on speaker phone.

"Actually, Jason will be with us, so that's a no go on the bar."

"Jason, huh? Not," Nick scratch head, trying to keep his disappoint from seeping through. "not gonna be, just you and me?"

"You don't want to see him?" She sounded a little taken back by his remark, while the fox groans in his head so that a bunny couldn't hear him. "Come on, and you know, you should actually get him something. A little gift. Nothing big." Nick rolls off his bed and heads to the kitchen.

"A small gift, nothing big huh?" He goes to the refrigerator and pulls out a plastic container full of blueberries. "Ok. Well, I'll get him umm…" He pops a berry into his mouth, as his eyes wonder around to help think of any ideas. "Well, then how about I get him some... Carrots." He grinned as he heartedly joked.

"You know, actually, he doesn't like carrots that much." This made Nick's grin drop, he looked off to the side, full of confusion.

"That's… odd."

"Yeah, tell me about it, oh! But he is a big fan of blueberries." Nick looked at the ones he had in his paws.

"Well then, What should I get him?"

"He likes picture frames."

"PICTURE FRAMES?" Nick, almost choked on a blueberry.

"Yeah," Judy giggled. "Yeah, it's weird, I know. And he doesn't put any of his own pictures inside them though either."

"Umm. Wow. That's very unusual Fluff."

"Debbie's here, she wants to say hi!" Judy said quickly.

"What's she doing there?" Nick asked as he walks back to his bedroom, and heads for his closet to look for what to wear when he sees Judy again.

"Helping me unpack," Nick, still hunts while getting more and more frustrated as he only owned Hawaiian shirts. He hated shopping for new clothes. "Hey, so listen, I will see you, tomorrow night. Ok?"

Debbie's voice comes in "Oh! Yeah, and Nick! Thank you for rejecting my friend request. Jerk." Nick could hear Judy laugh.

"Did you get that?"

"Tell Debbie, that it was all part of my master plan, to get her completely out of my life." He snarked as he started throwing and piling clothes on his bed. "Especially someone who is too scared walk out from her own home, because her shadow will come after her."

"Nick!" She whispers, "I can not tell her that!"

"Yeah, alright."

"Ok, see you later."

"Ok," Judy hanged up, while Nick looked at an old picture he had of his mother, on the side table by his bed. He picked it up and smiled at his desist mother. With a heavy sigh, he took the photo out of the picture frame, left the picture by his bed, as he went to look for something to wrap the odd gift. Once that was done, he went out to go buy a brand new outfit for the special occasion.

It was 6:07, and Saturday night couldn't have come soon enough for Nick. He used all his willpower not to wag his tail. He couldn't help it! He was finally gonna see Judy again after all these years! As he came close to the restaurant entrance, he took the time to straighten out his fur so that he looked more neat than shaggy.

"Hi," a cheetah smiles politely, greeting his as he walked in.

"Hi," the fox looks around for his friend. I'm looking for a bunny and-" his eyes stopped as spotted her. He was absolutely stunned. It was as if nothing changed. She looked as beautiful as the day they first met. "oh, yeah, got it, she's right there." He points, trying to get back to reality. "Pardon me, miss." Nick bows dramatically. Judy looks up and squeals. She shots out of her seat and goes to give him a big hug.

"WOW! Hi…" She chuckles softly. Luckily Nick was already bowing so it was easy for them to give each other a proper hug. He wraps his arms around her, closes his eyes, and smiles. It felt so good to hold her again. He wished this would last forever. But then he feels her start to let his go, and realized that was his cue. he coughed a bit and said.

"You look great."

"Me? Look at you!" She steps back and smirks. "Who gave you a makeover in fashion! Finally over your Hawaii fad?"

"What? You don't think I could really pull off this look?" Judy reaches up, and points out the tag at the bottom of his shirt. Nick's eyes lay flat on the back of his head, as he grins sheepishly as he was caught. "Nice to see nothing gets past you still, eh, Carrots." They both chuckle as they take their seats. Nick also quickly rips off the stupid tag.

"Oh please. Trust me-I have to when I have a kit to look after."

"How's Jason, by the way? Where is he?" Nick looks around to spot any signs of a small gray bunny around.

"Ummm…" Judy looks around herself "He's over there," she points to the left at the fish tank, "But listen, if he's a little strange, it's just, he's having adjustment issues to the move." Nick looks to the direction she instructed. "But he's watching the fish." Nick keeps looking at the giant fish tank and spots what he's looking for and smiled. A jackrabbit kit. He was small, but that's was expected for someone his age. The fox could tell that he would soon grow to be on the taller side. He was a light charcoal black, with blue deep, rich, blue eyes. Nothing by looks alone, screamed Judy, but it was nice to finally meet her child. The young rabbit was happily tapping the glass as a new fish came his way.

"I think he's going to be just fine." Nick smiles to Judy.

"Nathan!" Hollered someone farther away, "Come on, time to go." Soon the kit ran off, searching for whoever was calling him. leaving behind, a new kit that he was blocking Nicks view. He couldn't believe it, that couldn't be Jason, he never even seen anything like the poor kit. His genuine smile became an awkward one. But soon it disappeared, as his eyebrows came together in confusion. All his focus went into Jason.

He was he was very tall for a… bunny…? His age. He was also very lean. His muzzle was a bit longer than an average bunny, and so was his tail too. It looked extremely soft and fluffy, to make any mammal jealous. His ears didn't look like plain ol' rabbit ears either. They cuffed more at the bottom, and a bit pointed at the top, but still had the long bunny shape in the middle area. His feet and paws seems different too but hard to fully describe. Judy wasn't kidding about him being strange. Lastly, his fur, not only looked incredibly soft, but was brown. He also had dark turquoise eyes. Not that he looked like a freak, he actually looked pretty cool, the more Nick thought, even cute came to mind, but it was just that he never seen anything like him.

He was having his paws behind his back, as he was watching the fish calmly in the tank. He had his paws behind his back and his head was crocked to one side, eyes filled with wonder. And then those eyes wondered off, making eye contact with Nick. The officer couldn't look away, he was still in awe. Even as Jason was walking back to the table to sit next his his mom, the fox kept watching, his whole expression frozen. He looked nothing like Jack. Except maybe the height-but honestly. Was he even FULL bunny? But no. Of course he HAD to be. It would be impossible for him to be a hybrid from another species. But something just seemed off. He could tell he was Judy's kit alright but he looked so famili-

"Nick?" Judy asked, the fox realized he was out of it for a while. He looked at Judy, then back at Jason, and finally back at Judy again.

"Yeah…" he asked calmly and quietly, his expression never changing.

"Are you ok…" Judy sounded a little hurt, and Nick could tell, and completely changed his whole appearance. He didn't do that all in a negative way, but more, just trying to understand all this.

"What-YEAH! Yes! Of course, I'm ok!" He said a little too happy, "I'm just meeting your son for the first time and trying to soak it all in! I was just trying to see whole he takes over from his family more!" Nick mentally cringed. 'Stupid! Why did I have to say that!'

"Yes… Well, bunnies and rabbits don't always have to look just like their parents, they come in all shape and size. I mean look at my family, we don't all look the same-and thank god because then it would be a nightmare to try to tell who's who."

'It still is.' Nick thought.

"Anyway, another reason we moved back was that I was hoping it would be better for Jason to fit in…" Judy seemed a bit sadder. "The bunnies back home are really harsh… and my family… they think-" she seemed to really want to tell Nick everything but couldn't because Jason would hear. But Nick understood. It was because how he looked. The bunnies must make fun of him all the time and the family might be thinking she was untruthful and sleeping around. The fox nodded to reassure her that he knew what she was thinking. She smiled at this. "Anyway! Sweetie, this is uncle Nick, say hi."

"Hi…" Jason said quietly, and looked off to the side, not wanting to make eye contact.

"Hi Jason," Nick smiles with a big toothy grin. His voice was energetic, yet gentle and friendly at the same time. "I've been waiting to met you for quite some time," Jason says nothing, and still is too shy to look up.

"Now listen, Nick has a surprise for you," His mom spoke up, trying to break the ice. This got the kit to perk up, and look at his uncle. "let's see what you got!"

"That's right!" The fox leaned over to his left and grabbed the gift. "Yes I do, take a look at this!" He leans across the table to hand out his gift. The fox is really happy and confident that Jason will love it. The little bunny shyly took it. Still not sure about this new stranger.

"So sweet." Judy smiles at the fox "Nick. Very sweet." Nick nods his head and happily winks at Judy. Jason opens the gift right away, he turns it around, and studies this without emotion changing."Oh, wow…" she acts surprised even though she knew what was inside already. Jason looks up at Nick.

"Where's the picture?" Nick's face dropped. She didn't say anything about a picture!

"What picture?"

"The one that comes with the frame. It's the most important part." Jason's voice sounded so small, but Nick looks away to Judy shrugging and not knowing what to say.

"Whaaaaaaa-What?" He said in confusion and looks back to Jason.

"This frame's used…" the kit puts it on the table and pouts. Nick stares in disbelief, looking at the brown mammal, jaw opened. Almost as big as when Judy became friends with Mr. Big.

"Uh… what." He looks at Jud and she sighs.

"Say thank you."

"Thanks…" the kit grumbled with his ears flatten. Just then the food started to arrive.

"Oh! Here it is, guys. Here is a big surprise." Nick moved things around the table to make room for food. "I called ahead, on the phone and preordered this."

"Nick, will you excuse me, I need to use the bathroom." Judy got up and left.

Everything was all laid out, and the waiter uncovered Nick's dish. It was a big plate of moths, butterflies, and caterpillars.

"You can't eat that!" Jason screamed, alarming Nick from his sudden outburst.

"What do you mean I can't eat this?" The fox was starting to get pretty pissed off. Not only did he have to share his date with a kit, but this whole dinner is turning out a disaster just like all the others! It's not that he didn't like Jason, but everything he was doing was wrong in the kit's eyes. But he keeps this feeling as hidden as possible. "... I preordered this."

"Grandma says that it's a very mean thing to eat another living thing!" Jason raised his voice. He definitely wasn't shy now. But this is what did it. Nick couldn't believe Judy would raise a kit to be so ignorant of predators foods-then again it wasn't her, but her family, but none the less. His eye twitched, trying to control his anger.

"Hey! Guess what?" His face dropped. The act was all gone, and his voice rises as well. "This plate. Cost me $84. And it's going to be the best plate of insects I ever had." They both glare into each other's eyes.

"Don't do it uncle Nick. And I'll hate you if you do."

"Hey, hey," Judy came back rushing to the table "ok-lets not. We don't say hate." Judy places her paw on him and is sturn. "We don't say hate alright? Ok?"

"But uncle Nick is about to eat bugs!" Judy looks at the foxes plate and sighs in sadness.

"Nick, I'm so sorry. But, can you think about having something else… I'll pay."

"Ummmm… sure." Nick said in shock and disappointment. His ears flattened a little.

"GREAT! It's a good compromise." She smiles at Nick "He likes you." Nick looks at his crush like bull shit. Pissed, and sad.

"Your kidding right." He glares.

"No, that's like for him." She points to Jason who is already eating. "It is-hey, will you do me a favor?" Nick still has that same pissed sad face "Will you watch him for a couple of hours this weekend?" She looked hopeful and pleading.

"... Uhhhhh…." He starts to worry and panic, as his eyes widened. "I don't thi-"

"Sure it is," Judy said, cutting him off. "See I have this parent orientation, thing, after school. It would really help me out. I also think it would be great for you guys to spend some time together. You know? Some… Get to know me time." Nick still has the same look, and glances at Jason, who is looking adorable and innocent, eating his dinner, which had some blueberries on his plate. "Hi! Excuse me." Judy, tried to get the waiter's attention. "Hi," she starts to order something for Nick, as the fox still is paying attention to the young kit.

Jason picks up a blueberry and pops it in his mouth. He closes his eyes and starts to moan. "MuMUM!" as if he was in heaven. Nick finds this extremely odd. His eyebrows slowly come together, just watching it all unfold. He leans closer as the kit still enjoying his food. The fox looks at Judy, then back at the kit, head crocked like a dog slightly, and then looks away with only his eyes as his head stays. He looks like he's in deep thought as his jaw bottom moves back and forth.

Dinner finished, and all three, decide to walk with each other for a bit. It was cold, so they all were wearing jackets and scarfs.

"Sorry, about that, Nick." Judy apologize, she felt guilty making her friend do that.

"Yeah no, don't worry about it" Nick smiles at her to reassure her that there is no hard feelings. "I'll still experience it, ok? And I'll, uhhhhh..." he chuckles, "Just cut it up, and put it in my cereal, it's better that way!" he jokes "Better than bananas" Judy laughs

"Oooo! That sounds delicious." and then she became quiet for a bit. Jason runs ahead, but Judy keeps an eye on him. "My mom…" she broke the silence. "She… She found Jason, eating some worms… By the field. She was so freaked out about it… 'So unnatural!' she would say. She told Jason how WRONG it was to eat other living things, how bad it was." Nick understood it all now, but was quite to listen for more. "My mother… Kept asking me 'Who's Jason's real father!'-in fact EVERYONE did… But after this… It was worst… I know Jason is different-but so am I! That's the real reason I'm back… I couldn't take it anymore. Everyone treats him differently." Jason starts to go too far ahead, making Judy feel uneasy. "Honey! Stay close." Nick looks at the ground, and then at Jason, "Isn't he great?" she said looking at her son.

Nick then Looks at Judy, with love in his eyes, "Yeah…"

"He thinks I'm a lesbian"

"What?" Nick's eyes widen

"I guess the only mothers he knows, have husbands, or boyfriends." She chuckles.

"Mom" Jason is in front of a store, "Can I go in?"

"No, sweetie, we got to go home." She then talks to Nick, "He's so smart and willful. Considers everything" Jason walks in anyway, and Nick looks at Judy in shock yet she keeps talking "he's just, never boring."

"He went in."

"I know, he does that." they walk to the window of the building to watch.

"So…." Nick doesn't really know how to ask "What's his seed story?" He grinned.

"... Uhhhh…." She didn't see this one coming.

"This should be good." he grins wider.

"I've been, debating on how to tell him, how he got here. I told him that mommy… Didn't have a husband. But wanted you, soooo very much. That she couldn't wait another day. And so, she went to the doctor. And the doctor said,"

"No more bunnies, jumping on the bed?" Nick laughs at his own stupid joke. Judy punches him on the arm, making him cradle it. "Nice to have you back carrots."

"ANYWAY. 'If you go out, into the world. And you look, very, very hard. You'll find a very special mammal, WHO… If you ask, very nicely. They'll give you seeds."Nick tries his best not to laugh, but has a big smile on his face nonetheless, he just loves hearing her voice. "And then I can plant you in my tummy." Nick nods head still smiling "Yeah, but I don't know." She shakes head "I read, all the books on how you're supposed to talk about this stuff." looks at nick "And until it happens, nothing can prepare you, for the day, when your kit comes home crying after school, because some lard ass called him a science experiment." Nick watches her, smile is gone, and then he looks in the window and sees Jason doing something and shows it off to his mom, making her wave. "Ok, I'm gonna go in." She squeezes Nicks paw, he looks at them and then at Judy as she walks off, then follows behind. Judy opens the door as her phone rings, she looks and put it away, causing door to close on Nick. He opens it a little annoyed.

"Who's that?"

"A text. A text from Jack."

"Who's Jack?" Nick quickly catches up to her.

"Jason's dad." Nick stops a bit, then catches back up.

"You still talk to him?" Nick is hurt by this thought but hides it well.

"Yeah, I called him when I got back."

"Why? What happened?" He becomes more and more worried.

"Well. There's a reason, I want to know who the donor is. You know? So when Jason is ever to be asking questions, I wouldn't have answers." She shrugs. "And I don't know… I'd like to get to know this guy. You know, someday I'd like them to meet. Also maybe I would get some answers off the whole eating bugs thing."

"Ok. What's Mrs. Savage, gonna think about all this?" He was very unhappy and it was starting to break through in his voice.

"There isn't Mrs. Savage. They got a divorce." pissed. Nick stops walking and watches Judy walk off. But then starts to over think too much, and then catches back up.

Alright, so just to let you know, for me, Nick and Judy's kits would look like a cross of a fox and a bunny, but for this story sake, Jason has to look more bunny then fox for this to work. I was gonna add more in this chapter but I cut it in half bc it tool me too long anyway lol
