Epilogue(s) - "Homecoming"

A/N: I was originally thinking of making Ben and Terry's epilogue an erotic (but not pornographic) one-chapter M-Rated musical called "Spank me", but decided to skip it for several reasons.

11:10pm At the Clawhauser's home

Ben unlocked the flap and dragged himself through the door. "Ooooh my aching everything! What the?"

Kneeling down on both of her knees in front of Ben with a collar and leash on was Terry. "Welcome home master."

"Terry? What is this?"

"Master looks so tired. Please! Take my leash and lead me to the couch."

"Ummm...okay?" He took the leash and led her to the couch.

"You can yank it hard if you like." Terry replied. "I don't mind."

"I'm sorry honey. I'm not really in the mood for foreplay. My feet are killing me. If I could, I'd just take them off."

"Hold on." Terry pulled out some baby wipes from her purse and wiped Ben's feet off. "Oooh. That feels pretty good!" He replied.

"I'm just getting warmed up master." Terry then starting massaging Ben's foot which made him purr in delight. "Ooooh that's fantastic! Oh honey, I may have you do this every night!"

"Anything you wish master."

"Please stop the 'master' stu-...oooh God! I needed this!"

Terry finished massaging his feet and started sucking on his toes. Ben's eyes rolled back in ecstasy. "Hoooah MAMMA! This is perfect! Oh thank you honey!"

Terry noticed that all of this loving attention was causing Ben's pants to tighten as he was pitching a tent. "Well! Looks like masters third leg would like a massage too."

"Terry. Please, stop with the whole 'master' thing! I'm not your master!"

"Yes you are dear! After you yelled at me for causing all of that chaos, I saw you for the alpha male you really are! Ben honey, I'm a screw up. I need someone to take charge of me. To punish me when I'm naughty! Tonight I want you to hurt me. Spank me! Mark me as yours! Make me your willing slave!"

"Uuhhh...okay, we need to talk. Honey, if this is your kink right now, that's cool but...we're equals. We'll always be equals. When I'm on patrol Judy's, my partner. She doesn't treat me like she's superior on anything. When I'm home, you're my partner. We are on the same level. When I'm not home, you have to be the one in charge and take care of the kids. I'd NEVER put you below me or treat you like dirt. I love you too much! Why would I do that?"

Tears fell on Terry's face. "Because...SNIFF! because I'm a screw up! I made a really stupid mistake and we almost got heavily sued and it cost me my job! Now we don't have any extra income coming in and...and...I deserve to be treated like dirt!"

Ben cupped a paw on his wife's face. "No you don't! Honey, I think this...maybe be a bit..Freudian, but you may be mistaking the abuse your father used to give you with love. Now, you're right. I do need to be more of an alpha male and stop being a bit timid about things at times, but gosh-darnit! That doesn't mean I need to start slapping or spanking you!"

"But I love being spanked!" Terry argued. "Look, you're right. I took this too far. But I really did find your earlier aggression a turn on. To be honest, I need you to be more of a man sometimes."

"You're right. But understand that I'm bi and I...I kinda like being the girl sometimes. Hence the strap-on."

"HEE!-HEE! Right. That is kinda fun."

"Tell you what? Did you buy that paddle you were gonna get?"

"Oh yeah!"

"In that case, sometimes we'll use your toy, other times mine. If this is your kink, I'll indulge you. But no more 'slave' stuff, okay?"

"Okay! You're the man!...Except for some nights when I'm the man."

"Right! But I WILL punish you! You...you naughty girl!"

Ben hauled off and slapped Terry hard in the face...injuring his paw. "OW!...OW! Your jaw is like steel! My poor, widdle paw!"

"Well that was a dumb move. I'm twice as big as you honey! You can't really hurt me with your bare paws. That's why I got the paddle. Ben dear, I can be submissive around you because I know in a true fight, I'd beat you senseless. Now c'mon! You're starting to lose your...'alphaness' and I'm getting turned off."

"In that case...get to the bedroom bitch! I'll bite you and pull your ears! But first, can you be a dear and get me some gauze wrap? I think I sprained something."

11:15 at Nick and Judy's apartment

Judy slowly opened the door to her new home. Tired and weak from a hard day's work, she came groaning in. "Ooooh. What a day!"

She looked over to the couch to see Nick lying there. He was watching TV with his two bunny sons and young lamb laying on his chest. "Tough night hon?"

Judy walked over and plopped on top of Nick too. Scooting the bunnies over a bit. "Double duty's always tough. I can only imagine how sore Ben is. We got quite the dog pile here."

"I hope you're not calling me a dog fluff. Michael refused to go to bed until you got here. He's been asleep for awhile. Petey and Cotton got jealous and hopped on board. Good thing you bunnies and lambs are soft or you could pull my stitches."

Nick then nudged Michael to wake him up. "Wake up Mike!"

"I'm not tirrred!" The bunny cried.

Nick chuckled. "Kid, you've been snoozing for 90 minutes! Look! Mommy's here!"

A big smile came across the bunnie's face. "Mommy!"

"Hi sweetie!" Judy took the child and curled him up in her arms."Did you have a good day?"

He started to cry. "I missed you! It's not fair that you're gone all day!"

"I know honey. But this is just temporary. I promise. Besides, you did get to ride in my motorcycle. Did you like that?"

"It was cool. How long are you gonna do these...'double doodies'?"

"Just until the city calms down again. I'll make some stops by the house when I can okay?"

"I hate this. Quit your job! I..want...I want..." He fell asleep again.

Judy was teary-eyed as she rubbed his head. "He really misses when I'm gone for too long."

"Petey and Cotton too." Nick replied. "They have to get used to it."

"I know. I just wish I didn't have to be gone for so long. So what are you going to do about tomorrow? It's going to be chaos!"

"Are you sure you'll be safe out there?"

"I can handle myself."

"...I WAS going to take them to Foxden, but then I found out that my mother and Bobby are going out to his families in Bunnyburrow to meet her for the first time."

"Oh boy!"

"I'll see if I can stop by for emotional support."

"So you're taking the kids to the farm?"

"Yeah. Outside of Foxden, it's the safest place. Even farther out."

"Only we barely survived that red hawk infestation."

"I know, but they're long gone. And besides, it would..."

"HI! I'M CINDY!" Petey suddenly shouted. Startling Nick and Judy.

"Honey! What was that?!"

"What was what?" Petey asked.

Nick replied "Little cuss, you just shouted out 'Hi! I'm Cindy!' "

"I did? I guess... #$%!...I guess I was thinking of my sister in my dreams."

"Your sister?" Judy asked.

Nick gave it some thought. "Well, he does have his own blood siblings back in Bunnyburrow. Just like Michael. I was almost stuck with all of them before I found a family that had lost most of their children and were willing to take them in."

"Cindy's my...$# %!...my litter sister. We were very close until my bad mommy separated us. I really miss her."

"I didn't know you had any siblings you were close with. Well, tell you what sport? On our way to the farm, we'll stop and say 'Hi!' to your siblings. Okay?"

"Thanks daddy!" Petey said as he nestled up to Nick and Judy and fell back to sleep.

Judy was in thought. "Litter sister hunh? I wonder if they're twins?"

"What makes you say that?" Nick asked.

"Litter siblings are normally just regular siblings that share the same birthday as you. Some can even have different fathers in the same litter. But in rare cases, one of the ovaries can split and be fertilized into two making twins. Twins tend to have a very close, almost psychic bond. Maybe she's missing him and he feels it?"

"Maybe. Speaking of psychics, you know how Cotton's drawings are really detailed?"

"Yes! She's gonna make a great artist someday."

"No doubt. But she also gets visions and sometimes draws them. Visions that come true later on."

"She can see into the future?"

"A little it looks like but it's random. So don't look for any lottery numbers. I'm gonna take them around noon. I was gonna go early in the morning, but Spots made a big fuss. She said she promised to help and I quote because she said it by accident 'My James.'"

Judy giggled but Nick continued. "She tried to take it back, but I teased her of course."

"Where is she now?"

"In her room. Either gaming online or surfing porn. None of my business."

The tired rabbit rested her head against the fox's neck. "When this is all over, I'll have us look into that 'universal sperm' experiment we saw on T.V."

"Don't bother." Nick said solemnly.

"What?! Why?"

"There was an update. The couple had to get an abortion."

"Oh no! Why?"

"They found out size matters. The rat was much larger than the gerbil and I guess the universal sperm didn't factor in that. The fetus was growing bigger than the womb could take so they had to do an emergency surgery. Carrots...I can't get you pregnant. It's way too risky."

Judy started to weep. "I NEED this Nick! I've kept this desire pushed away for so long, I can't keep it back anymore! Rabbit have a strong urge to breed. I need to get pregnant!"

Nick had finally given up on that dream. "I'm sorry honey. I've been selfish. We'll go to the sperm bank and look for the best donor."

"Thank you honey."

"...Y'know? Seeing as how you were adopted, you're not blood related to any of your family. There's lot of potential donors right there."

"Nick Wilde, are you asking me to have sex with one of my own brothers?"

"NO!...No...just collect his sperm."

"Seriously?"

"In like...a tuna baster or something. I'm visiting there tomorrow, so maybe I could give everyone the once-over and find someone who's willing and fits for what I'm looking for?"

"And what are you looking for?" she asked with a knowing smirk.

"Oh I dunno. You got any brothers with red fur and green eyes."

"HA! No. There are no red-furred bunnies in my family. But we do have a few green-eyed ones and some orange furred. Maybe you can find one that's both?"

"So what you're saying is now you're up for this?"

Judy gasped in surprise and then chuckled. "Darnit Nick! You tricked me!"

"It's called a hustle sweetheart. And tomorrow, I'll be looking for some donors for my future children."

"That's going to be one awkward visit. YAAAWN! I'm so tired Nick. Can we just sleep here tonight? I can't even move."

"Sure fluff. Looks like I'm the mattress tonight." Nick turned off the TV and went to sleep with his fiance and youngest children asleep on his chest.
