It was quiet Sunday. The sun was setting at Bunny Borrows. Everyone gave Noah a congratulations party for succeeding through his hardship. Carrot cake was served as was carrot punch, lettuce and cabbage pies, grapes and blueberries (which Nick stuck to as did Noah).

Bellflower and Noah sat on the very spot Noah was pinched, looking at the pictures of the beautiful fox and leopard they had both lost forever. They looked at each other and shared a loving hug. They both lost something dear to them but they had each other.

"Did you hear, Noah?" said Bellflower. "Blake has proposed to me."

Noah looked in confusion. "What does propose mean?"

"Me and Blake are getting married around Christmas."

"That's wonderful!" cried Noah hugging Bellflower. "Will you have babies? I'll take care of them for you."

"There's no need for babies," said Bellflower happily. "Me and Blake have bought the orphanage your were born in."

Noah was all ears as Bellflower continued:

"The Mudways are going to spend a good while in jail as are those elephants. As for the orphans, as long as me and Blake run it, they will get proper meals, clothes, toys, everything a child can dream of."

Noah smiled happily.

"Rick too?" asked Noah.

"That little fox?" asked Bellflower who suddenly looked sad. "Listen, poppet. There's something you need to know about little Rick. He was too over worked and starved. He was quite ill when we examined him … sweetie, he didn't make it."

Noah gasped.

"Why do so many animals die?" he sobbed. "I asked for more food for him but nothing worked."

"I know, I know," said Bellflower. "That's why the Mudways and the board are in prison forever. Rick is in a happier place now though."

"I just wish I was there to say goodbye. I've lost two mothers - and now three friends. One lost forever."

"I know, butterfly," said Bellflower as he hugged him gently. "But think about this. Do you think Rick, your mother and Patsy would be happy to see you like this?"

Noah shook his head.

"They'd be very happy to see what you've achieved."

Noah nodded.

"It's because of Patsy I've achieved everything."

"Not just her but your strong heart and spirit, little one."

She hugged her beloved puppy with as much consolation as he needed.

"Hello my favourite two," said Judy.

They turned to see her in her blue dress and Nick in a smart orange shirt and his regular brown trousers.

"What's the matter, son?" asked Nick.

"One of the orphans in the orphanage he used to be very good friend with," explained Bellflower.

"The other fox?" asked Judy.

Her sister nodded.

Judy sat next to Noah and kissed him.

"What will I have to remember him by?" he said. "I have no cap or letter or picture."

"You will remember him in your heart" said Judy. "As long as he remains in your heart, he will always be alive."

"Noah?" said Nick. "I would like to tell you something, champ. Will you come with me?"

They went to a private bench and Noah sat on Nick's lap.

Nick pulled out a letter.

"This letter," he explained. "Tell's us who your mommy and daddy is."

"Who is it?" asked Noah eagerly.

"When your mommy was a teenager," began Nick, "she met a young fox at her age. They loved each other every much. However they weren't married and yet they made a baby together. This angered her father who kicked her out of her home. Then she was angry with her boyfriend who she broke up with. She travelled a good while until she came to an orphanage. Your mother gave birth to you in that orphanage. She died giving you your first breath of air."

"Did I kill her?" asked Noah.

"No, son," said Nick. "That's very natural. For some reason mothers sometimes die from giving birth."

"And what of my daddy?" asked the cub.

"Well," said Nick smiling a little. "Your father was a rather carless fox and he knew nothing of his son living in that horrible orphanage. Your father took you in with a rabbit called Judy Hopps."

"What do you -" Noah began but he looked wide-eyed at Nick smiling.

"I'm your daddy."

Noah's heart missed a beat at those words.

"DADDY!"

Noah hugged Nick tightly and sobbed his heart out, Nick shedding a tear himself.

"Welcome home, son," said Nick wiping his eye. "I'm so sorry for knowing nothing about you. If I knew about your suffering, I would have come to get you out of there immediately. I knew you were my son when I received the locket your mother left you but I wanted to make sure she had my permission for gaining custody over you."

Noah's heart was full of happiness. Happiness he never felt since he reunited with Nick and Judy and the others the night Stripes got himself hanged.

"What locket?" asked Noah.

Nick revealed to him a beautiful locket, the label in-scripted; To Kimberly, with unconditional love, Nicholas Wilde. Inside was an engagement ring and an image of his young father in green trunks and his beautiful mother in a pink bikini with the sun setting behind them.

"The orphanage's matron kept it all these years until she died this year. But Mrs. Mudway kept it for her own greed instead of analysing who you were. But it's over now. She and her husband are gone for you and Daddy is here forever."

Nick hugged him again and kissed his nose, Noah doing the same.

"I promise to be the best dad you ever had, son. You deserve it after everything you've been through."

Noah held onto his father and could never let go, the sound of his heart beating against his face. All this time and his father was right next to him. God had blessed him well.
