Our Love
AN: It's Singles Awareness...er, I mean, Valentines Day! Yay! *waves hands in air* So I thought I'd drop something fluffy on ya all. Hope you enjoy! Also, since folks wanted to see more of Ella and Ridley, here they are. ;)
Judy leaned in against her mate's chest, feeling the coarseness of his fur intertwining with her own velveteen softness. She snuggled deeper into him, enjoying immensely when he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her tighter against his side. Outside their room, the day was slowly rising, the sun peeking over the horizon, bathing the city in a blanket of light.
Inside was a much different story.
"I love you," Nick whispered into her ear, tickling the inner fur and causing a shiver to course through her body like a rapid, turbulent river. Her tail flicked in delight as she gently placed tiny kisses against his chest, trailing them up to the fox's muzzle, tempting the red fox tod into a whine as she, at the last moment before their lips touched, pulled away with a quiet giggle. Nick looked deeply into the eyes of his beloved Judy, absorbing all the love and affection pooling within those amethyst eyes that he loved so dearly, chuckling at how well she knew him and how quickly she could get him riled up.
Cupping her cheek, caressing her gently as only a beloved mate could do, he leaned in, pressing a gentle and chaste kiss against her lapine lips. "Judy...it's your turn to wake the kits for school." Nick chuckled against her supple lips, nibbling them gently, eliciting a moan of desire from the doe.
"They're going to be late to school again if you continue that..." Judy groaned, shivering under his tender touch. She felt Nick's chuckle, his warm breath against her fur giving her shivers of delight. Her back arched as a purring came from Nick, the tod placing butterfly kisses leading from Judy's lips to her neck. "I can't be responsible for what I do next to you if you keep doing that."
Nick leaned into the love of his life, their bodies meshing perfectly against each other.
"It's Saturday..."
Nic's whisper and tone belayed a less than innocent desire. "And a three day weekend." In a flash, Judy flipped Nick over, the rabbit sitting astride him, grabbing his chest fur in her paws and breathing in the scent of musk and fox that was all hers. "Trying to get me to wake the kits?" She scoffed, then grinned at the fox below her. "No, you're all mine today..."
A gentle knock at the door pulled their attention away from each other, as the only other mammals in existence could as two happy voices reached them. "Mommy! Daddy! Time for play?" The two grown mammals chuckled as they separated, their kits nudging open the door with wide eyed expressions of hope.
Judy looked at Nick. "I think we could play pirate ship with them, couldn't we?" Nick chuckled, then grabbed Judy in his arms. She shrieked in laughter as Nick gave off his best pirate laugh as he tickled her under her nightgown. "Argh, avast me kits. I have stolen this beautiful dame from this here castle. Which of ye scurvy landlubbers think ye able to win her back, arghhahahahaha!"
Both kits gave off joyous yelps as they ran and jumped onto the bed, tackling their dad amidst giggles and vows of revenge for stealing the beautiful maiden. Their laughter filled the home, with Nick finally pushed off the bed, thankfully onto the pillow cannonballs that had already been thrown at him.
"Argh, me booty be stung by the woes of defeat!" Nick cried.
Ridley and Ella giggled gleefully above him, hugging their mother while cheerfully singing, "We defeated the pirate! We defeated the pirate!"
Nick listened to their song, their joyful voices bringing such a warmth to his heart and filling him with love. He and Judy hadn't had a full day off with their kits due to their schedule, and this made for a grand opportunity to create some lasting, family memories.
The kits song was interrupted as a black tipped tail appeared over the side of the bed, slowing circling the furniture. The two kits on the bed gasped in surprise, suddenly clinging onto Judy as they watched the 'fin' pull a full circuit of the bed.
Judy rolled her eyes, but joined in on the shenanigans, holding her kits tight. "Oh no! It's a black tipped Fox Shark!"
Startled gasps and giggles came from the kits as the tail perked up and knocked against the bed. They felt it shake as Nick gently rocked it, Judy joining in by moving with the rocking motion.
"You better be careful," Judy said as she held the wide-eyed kits tightly. "I've heard that a Black Tipped Fox Shark's favorite meal are kits..."
Two gasps came from the bunny and fox kit.
"Did it eat daddy?" Ella said quietly, looking up at her mother with expectant eyes.
A quiet chuckle came from the shark as it patrolled the bed, knocking into it once more. Nick poked his head above the bedsheet, grinning at his kits. "It doesn't like to eat grown foxes."
The two kits let out a giggle as the 'fin', 'nodded'. "Though I have heard it likes a new type of food more than kits..."
"What's that?" Ridley asked, his short ears perking up.
Nick grinned at Judy. "Carrots."
With a lunge, he leapt onto the foot of the bed, his two children squealing in laughter as they found themselves wrapped up within two russet furred arms, kisses being placed upon the heads of his two children and Judy.
The day had gone by quickly as the young family enjoyed the wonderful, early spring weather that descended upon Zootopia. The family had an enjoyable day together, spending time at their favorite park, feeding the koi at the pond and enjoying ice cream together. That was, until Riley accidentally licked his ice cream so hard it flopped off the cone onto the ground. He almost burst into tears, when a new cone, albeit somewhat licked, plopped into his paw. Riley looked up to see his father smiling down at him. "This one was made with magic."
Riley grinned broadly, treasuring the cone immensely as Judy chuckled, leaning into her husbands' arms as he wrapped one around her. After the ice cream, they spent a joyful hour at the jungle gym, their kits playing with several of their young friends while Judy and Nick shared quiet kisses and moments of comfort in each other's arms as they watched their kits joyfully scampering about the play equipment.
All until they were distracted by..the butterfly.
It was Ella that saw it first. The little bunny was merrily giggling on the swing set when the bug fluttered by.
"Oooohhhhhhh..."
Slowing to a stop, she watched, mesmorized by the flapping of the insect's wings until it landed in between her ears.
"M-mmmmooooommmmyyy!"
Judy instantly jerked out of the conversation she was having with mother meercat, her eyes shooting towards her kits cry of distress.
Judy was over to her kits side in an instant. "Ella, what's wrong?"
"Thh...tha...that!" She pointed at the butterfly resting between her ears."Bug!"
Judy chuckled. "It's just a butterfly," she cooed, grabbing one of Ella's paws while reaching up towards the bug with the other. Ella watched, shivering as her mother's finger gently drew closer to the insect.
"What's going on?"
Judy turned to see Nick walking up with Ridley, the latter licking a vanilla ice cream cone while Nick held a holder containing three more. "Nothing," Judy giggled, just a butterfly."
"ICE CREAM!"
Ella instantly forgot about the insect currently resting on her head when she saw the delicious treat her father had picked up for her. She jumped from the swing, startling Judy and the butterfly. The insect was flung and swatted by one ear, flying haphazardly through the air before fluttering to safety...
On Nick's nose.
The fox went cross-eyed, staring down at the bug which now was staring back at him. Shaking his head sent the butterfly flying off once more to the giggles of his kits. "That's a way to bug somebody."
He shot a grin at Judy who shook her head and rolled her eyes at the pun. Their two kids were too busy with their ice cream to notice.
Judy looked at the ice cream and smiled. "Carrot cake?"
"Only your favorite for my favorite bunny."
She gently took the cone, but not before leaning up to press a kiss against Nick's left cheek.
"Gross!" Ridley stated.
"Mom gave Dad cooties!" Ella giggled.
Nick laughed. "Well, I guess I'll just have to give them back."
With a grin, he licked her ice cream, then while she was surprised, lowered his muzzle down to Judy's and placed a sweetened kiss on her lips. Judy couldn't help her tongue darting out to lick at the sweet cream coating her husband's lips.
"Eeewwwwwww!" This time both kits turned their heads, Ridley pretending to vomit until he almost lost his ice cream. He quickly stopped and chomped the entire scoop before it could fall off his cone. "Ahhh! Head! Cold! Cold!"
The young family laughed as the young fox fought off a brain freeze of his own making. It wasn't until Ridley started whimpering when he stared down at his empty cone, that Nick gave in and passed his son his own ice cream cone.
"Don't eat it all in one bite now," he supplied.
Thankfully Ella was too distracted by her own delicious treat to notice her brother getting a second helping.
Judy leaned into Nick's shoulder, offering him a lick of her own cone. "And that is why I married you."
"You knew I'd give our kits ice cream?" he joked, earning an eye roll from the bunny.
"No," she replied. "Because you're the sweetest fox I've ever met."
Nick, filled with adoration for his wife, wrapped his arm around her and placed an arm around her side. "I have to try and match the world's sweetest bunny."
They again shared a tender kiss, Judy churring in delight as a rumble sounded in Nick's chest.
"Ewwwwww! They're doing it again!"
As the night drew to a close, Nick and Judy tucked in Ridley and Ella. The two kits nuzzled their pillows, eyes closed as their parents tucked them in, leaving the carrot shaped night light on as they turned off the lights in their room.
"Today was a good day," Judy sighed, leaning against Nick as they walked to their room. He nodded in agreement as they began to change into their night clothes, the tiredness of the day beginning to grow on them.
Both though amusedly that they were more exhausted spending a day with two toddlers than after their longest shifts at the precinct.
The warmth and comfort of their bed welcomed them both as they crawled in together, Nick scooting over until he felt Judy against his front. The bunny pulled his arms around her, nuzzling and kissing his paw as a gentle, affection rumble came from the tod.
"You're too good to me, beloved," Nick soothed at her, placing a tender and loving kiss between her ears. He smiled as her back arched slightly and a love-filled tremor shot through her. Judy turned in his arms, greeting his muzzle with a kiss.
"Not good enough, she mumbled.
"I can always do better."
Nick shook his head, gently cupping her cheek to raise her amethyst eyes to look into his own emerald toned ones.
"Judy...Laverne...Wilde-Hopps. Say no more of those slanders against your wondrous love. You make my heart soar to the stars and beyond. When I look into your eyes, my knees grow weak and my tongue grows tied with how much I know the love you show me overwhelms me. You are like the luster of a sun that never sets. Brilliant and dazzling to all who see you."
Judy hiccupped and wiped at her eye. "I think you were describing how I see you, Nicholas...Piberious...Wilde-Hopps. My heart beats faster than the faster jet when you shower me with your love. My mind is blown every night you show your love and adoration for me. You're sweeter than the purest honey and kinder than Mr Rogers."
Nick snorted in amusement, leading to Judy laughing as well. The two leaned together for another chaste kiss before returning to the peaceful quiet of their apartment.
"We're made for each other," Nick finally whispered into her ear. He saw the smile etching up the corners of her lips, the golden bands of their wedding rings shining glimmering in the reflection of light from the moonbeams filtering through the curtains.
"Yes," Judy whispered back. "Yes, we are."
The two mammals snuggled up close to one another, their hearts beating together, lulling them into a peaceful slumber.
AN: I know you were probably expecting a date for Nick and Judy, or a lovely, romantic evening together. However, I wanted to try something a little different. Super Fluff of the family kind as I haven't really written much about them as a family. So here's a heaping helping of Ella and Ridley to sweeten your day and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
