"Judy are you really sure you should be doing that in public?"

"It's your fault, you got me like this and don't act like you don't like it."

"Not that I'm complaining but anyone could see you."

"Again this is your fault! They wouldn't be hurting if you kept your thing in your pants. Besides no one is around right now."

Nick looked around and indeed there wasn't a mammal around, save the receptionist at her desk typing away at her computer. He looked back down at Judy who was massaging her breasts. It had only been four days since her scare and finding out she was pregnant but already the signs started to show. A small bit of her belly was extending out, her moods were swinging likening the pendulum on a clock, and her breast had started to grow causing her great discomfort.

"Look carrots if you want I'll give you a good full body massage when we get home, I think you deserve that." Nick had his classic grin on his face but quickly wiped it off upon seeing Judy.

"What I deserve is a bra that will support and fit me, along with some deep fried pickles. You don't get to touch these for a while, Mr. Fox, if ever. They are for the kits now, not your play things, so don't try to win over feeling me up with the promise of a massage, you shifty fox." Judy crossed her arms over her chest and slumped down in her seat, dropping her ears behind her.

"I was genuinely trying to suggest a massage to relieve some of your stressed and sore muscles. I wasn't suggesting it to feel you up or anything, Judy. I'm not that kind of fox," Nick smiled at her as he spoke. He knew she wasn't really mad at him, just hormones kicking in.

Judy looked up and sighed, placing a paw on Nick's leg and leaning into him. "Sorry Nick. Mom warned me about the outbursts but I was hoping it would be later on or not as bad. Please forgive me for anything I shout in the heat of the moment"

"If you think that was bad I'll take it any day. That was downright calm compared to Bogo's outbursts." They both laughed thinking about all the times the Cape buffalo had yelled at them, smashed his desk, and downright scared the two officers.

"Thank you for understanding, Nick, I'll make it up to you at home later." She looked up at him with a big smile and a wink.

"Mrs. Wilde. The doctor will see you now." A nurse brought them back into an office and handed her a gown, "Please, take your clothes off, put this on, then sit on the table. The doctor will be in shortly."

Judy began to undress as Nick whistled at her, ducking quickly as she threw her jeans at him. "What? I'm not allowed to enjoy seeing my sexy bunny?"

"Of course you can. Just not here, wait until we get home." Judy finished undressing and put the gown on hopping up onto the table. The paper crinkling under her did nothing to help with the cold of the cushion. "Brrrr, why can't these things be heated. It would be so much more comfortable" Judy sat with her legs hanging off the end lightly kicking them and wringing her paws together. She nervously looked around the office. Several posters of eating right, no drugs, and kits in various stages of growing were shown. Next to the door were numerous pamphlets for new parents' stress management, post part depression, and miscarriage counseling. Seeing the last one made her ears drop and nose begin to twitch, looking down she patted her belly. What would she do if she did lose them?

Nick looked over to see the nerves really getting to Judy, "Relax carrots, this is just going to be a normal checkup. Once the doctor sees how healthy you are you'll be back out busting criminals before you know it." He tried to perk her mood up with the prospect of getting back to work and he was rewarded with a slight smile. 'Small victories Nick, small victories.'

"I'm just scared, Nick. What if we're not ready? What if I make a terrible mother, what if…" She bit her lip hard as tears started to drop from her eyes, "What if I lose them, I don't know how I could cope with that." She pulled her legs into her chest and began to openly cry, not caring she was giving Nick quite the view.

Nick got up from his chair and walked over to her, pulling her gown over her knees covering her back up fully. As much as he enjoyed looking at her it wasn't appropriate in her current state. He wrapped his arms and tail around her comforting her as best as possible, Judy turned and buried her face in his chest. "Don't worry yourself about things we have no control over, Judy. I don't think any mammal is every fully ready to have kits and I've seen you with other kits and your own younger siblings. You're going to make a terrific mother."

Judy looked up and smiled at Nick before pulling him down for a kiss. A knock at the door separated them, "Mrs. Wilde, is it ok to come in?"

"Yes." Judy let her legs out and smoothed down the gown as Nick went to sit in his seat near the table. A female rabbit walked in and smiled at the pair.

"Good morning, I'm doctor Townsend and I'll be your OB. So how are you feeling today?" She pulled up a stool and notepad.

"Well I'm not feeling any morning sickness, thankfully. A bit nauseous but at least not puking. Mood swings are going like crazy, though," She looked over at Nick who smirked, "and my breasts are really sore and getting big. They've already doubled in size. Granted I wasn't that big to begin with, but they're getting really big."

"Okay, Judy, so according to your paperwork this is your first litter, and I'm safe to assume you are the father." The doctor looked over at Nick.

"Yes, to both questions." Judy looked over and reached her paw out for Nick to hold. He took it giving it a little squeeze.

"Okay, so I'm going to have to pull up your gown to begin the examination, are you okay with Mr. Wilde being in during the exam.

"Yes, it's okay, not like he hasn't seen any of it before."

The doctor just nodded and lifted up the gown exposing the small bump on Judy's belly, she lightly pressed in on it and all around. After examining her belly she slid the gown up exposing Judy's breasts, gently pressing on them, "Well if you're saying you have doubled in growth only this far along they will probably get even larger, I guess your body knows you have mixed kits growing in you and making the extra space for more milk needed."

After jotting down a few notes she dropped the gown to just above her pelvis. "Okay, Judy I'm now going to do an ultrasound and get a good look at these kits. Now, because Doctor Honey thinks you're only one week along, I'm going to have to do a bit more invasive ultrasound." She pulled over the machine and instead of the flat paddle the doctor in the ER had used she grabbed a long slender probe and applied a generous amount of gel to it.

"Umm, is that going in her?" Nick raised an eyebrow at the doctor.

"Yes Mr. Wilde, because they are so small to get a better idea of everything we need to do an internal ultrasound. It won't hurt them or Mrs. Wilde, so don't worry. Now this will be a bit uncomfortable."

"Okay." Judy laid her head back and took a sharp breath in as the doctor inserted the probe. "Wow! That's cold."

"Sorry. I wish they would get us a warmer for the gel, now let's see these little darlings." The doctor moved the probe around making Judy squirm a bit. It wasn't too bad, as nick was much larger, but it still was uncomfortable to have another mammal besides Nick messing around with her privates.

"Found them," Judy looked over at the screen and saw the two small shapes, a large smile grew on the tiny bunny's face. They had gotten considerably bigger over the last few days but still not big enough for her to identify anything, "So it is only two kits in there and from the size of them already it really is a good thing. They are already double the size of normal bunny kits, so they definitely have a healthy amount of fox genes in them." The doctor moved the probe around some more passing the screen several times taking more measurements and writing down on her notepad before removing the probe and handing Judy some wipes. "So, we are going to have to monitor them carefully, with them being fox hybrid in a bunny. Things could get complicated when they get bigger. C-section delivery is a very real possibility so I want you to prepare for that."

She went over to the wall and picked up a few pamphlets and handed them to Judy, "These will give you information about the C-section, the amenities here at the hospital, things to expect during your pregnancy, and what to expect during labor and delivery. Now according to the measurements you are two weeks along, again with it being a hybrid it's a bit hard to determine exactly. I have had a few mixed species patients before and usually, the birth is around halfway between the species. Luckily a fox and rabbit are not too far apart, so I'm going to project a six week gestation period. With being two weeks along already within a month you will have two new additions to your family."

Nick and Judy looked at each other…only a month to plan. Looks like they have a lot of work and not much time to get it done.

"I want to see you once a week to make sure everything goes smoothly and if anything feels wrong you call me and then get here right away. Mixed species kits have a much higher risk of complications, including miscarriage. I don't want to scare you, just giving you the facts." Judy gave a concerned look at Nick who held her paw tight. Doctor Townsend looked at the couple and sighed closing her eyes. 'This part never get any easier.' She opened her eyes and smiled trying to comfort them, "Mr. and Mrs. Wilde, I tell all my patients the same thing because all pregnancies carry that risk, it's just you will have a slightly high one. That is why I want to see you every week and I highly suggest you take it easy." She lowered her glasses down and stared straight at Judy, "That means no field work. Desk duty only until your fourth week then maternity leave."

Judy groaned and laid back on the table, Nick let out a chuckle "I'll be sure she follows that advice doc, although she won't like it."

"Well, see to it that she does and I'll see you next week. Again if anything doesn't feel right call me right away, and congratulations." She smiled at the couple and left closing the door softly behind her.

Nick turned to Judy, whose face had gotten a sad look again. He knew how to cheer her up, "Come on carrots, get cleaned up and dressed we have shopping to do."

Judy gave him a perplexed look, "Shopping?"

"Of course shopping. We have a nursery to furnish, clothes and diapers to buy, car seats to buy, lots of stuff. We are going to be parents in a month and have a lot to prepare for."

Judy was off the table and pulling her jeans back up, turning to Nick with her paws cradling her tiny belly. "If we make it that far, Nick."

The tears were building up again in her eyes and Nick came over and kneeled down in front of her pulling her paws away and kissing her belly. "Judy, I won't let anything happen to you and the kits. We follow doctor's orders and in a month we will be proud parents, so that means desk duty, Officer Wilde."

Judy groaned again as she grabbed her shirt, "Don't remind me. But if it's for the best for our kits then I'll do it." Nick smiled and pulled her into a hug, after releasing her they went out into the lobby and made their next appointment.

"So, where are we going first? It better be near some food as I'm famished." Nick looked over at Judy and shook his head laughing.

"Wow, carrots, and we just ate breakfast an hour ago, right before the appointment."

"Hey I'm eating for three now so don't judge me." Judy playfully hit Nick in the arm as he drove away from the hospital.

"Well the green bean is on the way to Kits-R-Us so we can swing in and get some food there before heading off." Nick already had the car pointed in the direction of the diner before getting a response from Judy.

"Sounds good to me, I have a craving for a salad with smoked salmon on it." Nick looked over at Judy as the realization of what she said hit her. "Wait, did I just say I want salmon? Ugh, these are most certainly your kits." Judy put her head in her paws.

"Well, I could've told you that much carrots, I always did like salmon. Guess they're already taking after their dad." Nick peeked over at Judy as she glared through her paws at him.

"You're never touching me again, fox." Nick had a hard time telling if she was joking or not, how cold she said those words made him think she was telling him the truth.

He was lost trying to read her when a honk from behind let him know he was waiting at the stop sign to long. "Did I make my fox so flustered he forgot how to drive?" She gave him a wicked grin further confusing him.

'It must be the hormones,' He thought to himself as he pulled away from the sign.

After several hours of shopping, Judy skipped into their condo, her earlier apprehension gone replaced with boundless energy. Nick walked in, his arms loaded down with bags from Kits-R-Us and Maternal Mother. He set down the bags in the spare bedroom and looked around trying to figure out how they were going to fit everything they bought into the room. With the bed, small dresser, bookshelf, and recliner the room was so packed it was hard to move around. Now they would have to fit two cribs, two dressers, a changing table, and other things for the kits, plus find a place for all the stuff already in the room. He walked out to the living room and shook his head looking around thinking to himself, 'How are we going to fit everything in here and what happens when they're older and want their own rooms?'

Judy bounded up munching on a carrot and wrapped her arms around Nick causing him to jump slightly. He looked down and kissed the top of her head smiling. "You seemed deep in thought Nick, what's up?"

"I was just thinking we may need a bigger place. The spare room is barely big enough for the kits after they're born, and then when their older and want their own rooms... we just don't have the space here." Judy looked around and realized as well their condo was going to get very small soon.

Rubbing her slight bump she sighed, "I hate to admit it, but you're right, I really do like this, plus we're not paying on it which is nice."

"Yeah, but that means I can sell it for a good price and put it down for a real house. I will miss the view, though,"

Nick wasn't expecting Judy's reaction of jumping into his arms and soon found himself on his back with Judy on top of him kissing him all over his face. "You want to buy a house, you want to buy a house!" She pulled Nick in for a deep kiss his mouth opening up, willingly accepting her.

She pulled away leaving both of them breathing heavily and holding each other on the floor, "Of course I want to buy a house. The condo isn't big enough so were going to need to move somewhere with a lot more space. I'm thinking Otterdam or Ficus Grove, they have good school districts and both are close enough to the precinct to not make travel too long, and… carrots what are you doing?"

Judy had lowered herself down Nick's body and was slowly grinding her pelvis into his, "What does it feel like I'm doing, Nick?"

He got a sly grin on his muzzle as he grabbed onto her hips, "What happened to me never touching you again?"

"Hormones. Blame it on the hormones." She was already pulling off his shirt as she answered him, lowering her face into his chest, rubbing her cheeks along his soft fur taking in his scent.

"If the hormones are going to make you this amped up I think I'm going to have to knock you up more often." Judy playfully punched him in the chest making Nick laugh and pulled her up into another kiss. Sliding his paws up her shirt she quickly removed it exposing her unrestrained breasts, "I forgot you didn't have a bra on, I like it. I always fight those darn clasps on them."

Judy leaned back pulling her arms back giving Nick a good view, "Well you do owe me a massage and they are still sore. Why don't we go to the bedroom where you can treat me proper?" She emphasized the proper by grinding herself into him more. Nick grinned as he took her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.

"So what is needing my magic paws the most?" he asked while laying her on the bed.

She took his paws and gently set them on her breasts and laid back closing her eyes. "These could use your attention first, then let's see what else can use some magic paws."

"As you wish." Nick smiled and began to gently massage each breast enticing purrs from Judy, Nick knowing full well where this was going to lead to.


"So, carrots, do you like any of the places I found yesterday?" Nick looked over at Judy as she slowly ate some oatmeal, she had the papers of the houses he found online sitting in front of her. Their massage session went longer than they'd anticipated the day before and never got out to look at any of the houses, so Nick found some online and printed them out for Judy to look at.

"They are all very nice but also so expensive, how could we afford them?" Judy was shocked at the prices, some would be more than the farm back home.

"Remember what I said, carrots. We're going to sell the condo and use it as a down payment, and for some of those the sale of the condo will cover the cost of the home." Nick sat down with a large plate of blueberry pancakes and dove right in.

Judy looked down at the papers and the prices of the houses, "Nick, how much did you spend on the condo?"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand," Nick said taking another mouthful of pancake, however hearing the amount made Judy choke on the tea she was drinking.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand! Nick, we could afford a huge house with that much, why did you spend that much on this place? I understand it's nice and all, but wow! That's a lot of money!"

"Well, I bought it as a bachelor, with it being close to the city center it was within walking distance to pretty much anywhere I would meet someone. I also really enjoyed the view it gives, figured it would be a good selling point when the time came."

"Well, I guess we'll need to get the place appraised to figure out how much it's worth now and go look at some of these…" Judy stopped talking and stared at one of the papers.

"Judy, are you okay?" Nick looked up at her then down at the paper she was staring at.

"Nick. I want to see this place, today!" Nick took the paper and smiled at the one she choose.

"I figured you would like this one, and the best part is what you see on the surface is not all of it, there is a second floor underground."

"Just like back home, wow that would be perfect!"

"Well, okay then. I'll call an agent and we will see if we can look at it today, I'll also check about putting this place on the market." Nick finished off his pancakes and took both his and Judy's dishes to the sink.

Judy got up and walked over to the bedroom, although with a slight limp from the previous night's activities. She was sore but she didn't mind it too much as it reminded her of the pleasure Nick could bring her. By the time she was dressed Nick had already contacted an agent and arranged a viewing of the house and they were on their way to see it.

Driving down to the house from the hill overlooking it Judy's jaw dropped. The house itself was a simple modern design with whitish gray paint and a two car garage. A short fence wrapped around to the backyard. The backyard, the thing that made Judy's jaw drop. More specifically the view from the backyard, with the house nestled in the middle of the rolling hills of Ficus Grove it had a perfect view of city center. Much better than the one in the condo where you could only see a few buildings, now the entire city center was laid before them.

Judy was bouncing in her seat hardly able to contain her excitement, as soon as Nick stopped the car she was out and through a gate leading to the backyard. Once she got there more surprises presented themselves, a large pool for doing laps and a jacuzzi situated on a concrete patio with a permanently built-in grill and outdoor oven. The house itself had a large bay window looking out over the backyard and view of the city. Judy could already picture herself with Nick sitting on the patio nestled in with each other as the kits ran around or swam in the pool.

"Judy, where did you go? The agent is here," Nick called out from the front yard.

"I was just checking out the view and backyard," Judy came back to the front as the agent opened the door and they walked in. The main entry way led to the large family room Judy saw from the backyard and had two different hallways leading away, taking a quick look Judy saw one went to a set of stairs while the other to an open door that looked like a bedroom. Judy walked into the bedroom and found it had an attached bathroom, a nice convince for them with kits so they didn't have to worry about being seeing walking back and forth naked.

The downstairs had another large sitting room and two smaller bedrooms with a full bathroom. Nick was imagining setting up the TV and sound system in the room and watching movies like Pig Hero 6 with the kits, all of them under a blanket snuggling together.

Nick went back upstairs to see Judy bouncing on her paws motioning for him to go to the bedroom, "Nick come here," she grabbed his paw and pulled him into the bathroom, "Look. A jetted tub. How nice is that going to be coming home from a long day of patrolling and just soaking in this? Ahhh! I can just imagine it now."

"I take it you really want to buy it." Nick kissed the top of her head almost getting hit as her ears flopped around with her head shaking yes.

"Absolutely! I can already see you in the backyard teaching our kits to swim or play soccer."

"Oh, really? And what makes you think they won't take up baseball or football. You know a real sport."

"Excuse me? A real sport? I'll have you know I helped our team win every soccer championship we went to throughout high school. I was the best striker we ever had."

Nick laughed as he pulled Judy into a hug, it took a while but she finally returned it as well. "Okay, carrots, I'm sorry, being a lawn fairy is nothing to joke about."

Nick tried to run and made it to the door but wasn't fast enough to get away and soon felt Judy's foot in his back and was soon sprawled out on the door of the bedroom. He rolled over to see Judy walking up to him with her arms crossed as she placed her foot lightly on his crotch. "You were saying?"

Nick looked from Judy's eyes to her foot and back, "I was saying soccer is an awesome sport and I will fully support our kits wanting to play it."

Judy removed her foot, "That's what I thought, now about the house…" She sat down next to Nick as he sat up. "I want to put an offer in for it. It will work perfectly for our growing family. The area is great, I saw a nice looking park and playground while driving up, the schools are some of the best in the city, and it's not that far from work. It would be perfect."

"I'll let the agent know were interested but if this is the house we want we will have to sell the condo first." Nick sat up and took Judy by the paws pulling her to her feet. They walked out to the main room and let the agent know their interest in the house.

"Well, I can put your condo on the market tonight. In your area, it should sell really fast. I'll ask the agent for this house and hopefully, we can put a hold on it. I'll let you know later tonight."

"Thank you." The both said and got into their car and headed for home.

"So, carrots, what are we going to do for the rest of the day?" Nick questioned as they slowly went through the neighborhood looking at the other houses in the area seeing several kits playing in the yards.

"Well, Nick, I did put my foot into your back I'm pretty sure you're sore now. Let's go home and I'll make you feel better." Judy ran her paw up Nicks' leg and stopped at the small bulge growing in his pants.

Nick put an extra bit of speed on the car, "I can totally agree to that." Nick had a big smile as Judy started caressing the growing bulge. 'I can totally get used to this,' Nick thought as they hit the highway and sped to home.


A/N: So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I know not much compared to my other has happened in this one but it will help to lead into the next parts of the story. As for the bit about the soccer and "Lawn fairies" I am a proud lawn fairy :) I played for 12 years as a goal keeper and thoroughly enjoyed it, hoping my kids will enjoy it as well when they get older. Well off I go for the next chapter and to start the story of Michael, I have decided to write about him as well though it may take some time to flesh out that story and exactly how I want it to go. Look forward to reading your reviews.
