They arrived at Bellflower and Gideon's flat. They already dressed out of their funeral attire for Patsy.
"Oh, dear," said Bellflower looking at Noah whose eyes were bloodshot from crying.
"It went just today," said Judy calmly. "It also something to do with ... him."
"I see," said Bellflower.
"We were wondering if you could take care of him for a while whole me and your sister tend to something?" asked Nick.
"Of course," smiled Bellflower.
Nick placed Noah on the couch as Bellflower.
"Have a little sleep if you want, champ," said Nick. "Me and Judy just need to do something for a bit."
As they left, Noah slowly drifted to sleep on Bellflower's lap as she kissed his face.
"I'm just so happy to have my little puppy back in safe paws."
Gideon sat with them and placed his huge bushy tail on the cub.
Noah felt very peaceful, feeling that a part of Nick and Judy were with him while they were out on their duty.
The cub Noah Sly was bought into safe paws earlier this week just after all of the fellons mentioned previously had been captured the same day. Magneficio John Fury today had just faced his execution from Mr. Big and Brent stripes attempted to flee with the cub over the treetops and he fell to his death by snapping his neck on a bundle of vines before he could hit the ground. Remains only for us to conclude by saying that the other tigers in question are now free to go and re-connect their families.
They had finished watching the News. The sun had almost set completely and Noah was still asleep on Bellflower's nap and covered with Gideon's tail.
The door knocked. In walked Nick and Judy with Blake and Wayne. Nick was holding an old piece of paper in his hand.
"Behold the letter," said Nick.
"What does it say?" asked Bellflower desperately.
Nick opened the letter and read it out loud:
Dear Nicholas,
How long it has been since I met you. Some terrors were threatening to kill me for being a fox. They muzzled me and you came to my rescue, scratching one of them making them bleed earning you two months of detention. Thanks to Father who convinced the principal not to expel you. Kevin never had anyone to turn to at school but it call changed when you came into our life.
I've loved you stronger than anything else - but then in all foolishness, I left you for making me grow a child which I also - but too late - blame myself for. Father does not wish for me to be part of his family as long as I'm mother to a bastard cub. I wrote this letter to inform you that I my time is very short. But concern is not over me but for this little boy or girl who grows every day inside me - eager to enter the wonders of the world waiting for the child. You probably still won't forgive me for letting you go but for the child's sake - I beg you to bring him / her up. I want to be assured that the cub will be born with beauty, charm, pureness and eventually, become a smart student to prove foxes are not cunning and with a father as smart as you, I wouldn't be surprised to see the baby to become the first fox in Zootopia to enter university.
A long journey lies ahead for him / her. Experiences, new friends and a new family for him to start on his own. And if he is willing to, perhaps Kevin will have his broken heart healed by meeting his little nephew or niece. I would have been killed young had it not been for you - or my best friend Bellflower Hopps who I think all the world of - a rabbit but still a figure of the beloved sister I ever had. I love her and you, my unmarried husband all the world. And I hope you will ask the baby to forgive me for leaving it behind when only born.
Your loving fiancé,
Kimberly Redd
Bellflower shed a tear as Blake comforted her.
"She was a like a sister to me," she sobbed. "Rest in peace, Kimberly. Your cub is safe."
Nick walked to the couch and sat down. He looked at the sleeping cub and kissed his cheek.
"I won the case," Nick smiled.
"Should we wake him now?" suggested Wayne. "Tell him everything?"
"No," replied Nick. "I'd rather tell him sometime tomorrow."
They all, looked at the sleeping child as Bellflower looked outside the starry night.
"Good night, Kimberly. Good night, Patsy. And thank you for everything you did for him."
They carried Noah out, cuddled in Nick's arms as they got into the car.
"Are we gonna tell him the reasons for all of this?" asked Judy.
"No," said Nick. "He's only five. In any case, I think he's better off ignorant about all this. Shards, his plot etc. He's a sweet little boy. He deserves happy after everything he's been through."
They arrived at their apartment and tucked Noah into bed.
"Good night, son," whispered Nick as he kissed his son's head. "I'm so sorry I knew nothing about you until this year. I promise to be the best daddy you can ever want. Sweet dreams."
Nick switched on his nightlight and left the room with one last glimpse at him. He would tell him who he was tomorrow. He would have time for that, definitely; now that Fury and Brent Stripes were dead and Shards was under arrest and sentenced to life - not to mention his inheritance going into his little paws. Nick failed to notice it was nearly midnight when Judy snapped him out of his trance on watching his son sleeping happily.
