A small yawn escaped Nick's lips as the elevator doors opened before him, letting him out onto Judy's floor. He was in his uniform, complete with his shades tucked into his breast pocket. A plastic bag was gripped in one of his paws. With a little knock he let himself into the open room. "Afternoon Fluff. How are you doing?"

The bunny gave him a soft smile from her spot on her bed. She was looking better then she had a few days ago, the night of the accident. "Good. Though this bed is way too big. I've never had so much leg room in my whole life!" She gave her toes a little wiggle under the covers just to show off how little of the bed she was taking up.

"I have something for you." He took a seat next to her bed and reached into the bag, pulling out a Styrofoam container and set it on the bed next to her with a plastic fork. "Stir-Fry. From that place near the station. I figured it would beat the heck out of whatever they were feeding you here."

Judy's ears perked up as the smell hit her, making Nick smile. "Thank you!" She wasted no time in grabbing the container and popping it open, getting to work on the food. The big smile on her lips between bites made her appreciation clear.

"So when are they letting you out, Carrots? They said nothing major was damaged." He couldn't help but let his eyes wonder over her, mostly focusing on her side. It was covered by the gown she was wearing but still, he knew what was under that thin fabric.

He watched the bunny give a small shrug, swallowing a mouthful of food before replying. "I'm not sure. Doctor Smith said they just want to make sure I'm ready to be on my own. They're worried if I rip my stitches I could end up bleeding out."

A frown danced over Nick's lips for a moment. He knew Judy, and he could see her doing something like that. He quickly smirked though, "You? Ripping your stitches? Nah, I don't buy it." He leaned back in his seat, putting his paws up on her bed, "You know, Clawhauser is really worried about you. I told him he should come see you. Bogo is too, but he's less vocal about it. You know how the big guy is. 'How is Hopps doing? Good, now get back to work Wilde.' "

He let out a small chuckle, "You'll also be happy to know that today those two bears came in and turned themselves in. Admitted to fighting and mauling you." He couldn't help but grin about that. It was nice to see mammals take responsibility for what they did.

Nick's face got serious for a moment, one of his paws finding it's way up to the back of his head. "You know, you shouldn't have jumped in the way like that. You could have died." A frown perched itself on his lips now.

Judy looked over at him, giving him a little smile, "And you couldn't have? I just did the right thing. You're my partner and best friend, Nick. I know that you'd do the same for me." A smile spread across his lips slowly. Would he though? As he thought about it he grew more sure. Without a doubt he would have done the same for her.

"Alright well how about we just try not to end up in situations like that again? How about that? I won't throw anymore snowballs at drunk and angry bears. Scouts' honor." He raised his right paw in the scouts' salute.

Before Judy could say something in response her doctor made his way into the room. He was a large panda with a gentle face. "Hello Miss Hopps, Mister Wilde." He had with him a tablet and some paper work. "Good news Miss Hopps. You're going home."

His stylus went to work on the tablet, marking down a few things. "Now, you still need to be careful, alright? You won't be going back to work for a month or so. At least not back to patrol. Perhaps some desk duty in a few weeks. We'll have a follow up appointment before then to see how you're doing." He set down some papers before the bunny along with a pen.

"Let me make it clear, if you pull your stitches and start bleeding, come back to the hospital right away. I know you don't like to hear this, but you are very small and with a wound that size, it won't take you long to bleed out."

Judy nodded along, listening closely as she signed her release papers, looking quite excited to get to go home. "Thank you for all the help. I really appreciate everything." She was looking forward to wearing some real clothes again, only then did it hit her that she had been brought in wearing her uniform and that had been ruined!

She turned to Nick with a big grin, the grin of a bunny who needed something from her friend. Nick knew right away what that smile meant and stood up with an exaggerated sigh, "What do you need Fluff?"

"Clothes! I can't go home in a gown. You know where I live, just go grab me an outfit please. Something comfy looking! My house keys are in my locker at the station. You know my combo." He gave her a small nod and playful bow.

"Right away, Carrots. I'll be back before you're done with all the paper work." He turned and hurried out of the room. As he climbed onto the elevator he grabbed his phone, checking to make sure he had actually remembered to add her address to his phone when she told it to him.

The trip to the station was quick, making time to tell Clawhauser how she was doing. Next was the trip to her apartment. Of course now that he was standing in front of her complex Nick could only think one thing, "What a dump..."

"She really lives here?" With a little sigh Nick made his way in, heading up to her apartment itself. What he found waiting for him once he popped the door open was little more than a shoe box. "Cripes Fluff, I know you're small but come on..."

He was starting to understand why she never had him over for dinner or anything like that. He barely fit in here on his own, let alone both of them trying to crowd into this place. He carefully kicked the door shut behind him, barely pulling his tail out of the way as it closed.

Right away he heard the neighbors arguing. "No! The third one was better!" "You don't know what you're talking about, the first one was the only good on in the series!" "Shut up!" "No you shut up!" His ears pinned back against his head at hearing the two go at it.

It wasn't hard to find her dresser, given there was only one room after all. When he pulled the top drawer open he felt a small rush in his chest. It only now hit him what he had been trusted with. She let him into her home, with no supervision. He could snoop around, look through her things if he wanted to.

He was pretty sure this was a first in all of history, that a bunny had let a fox into her home while she wasn't there. He had to smile at that.

What Nick found in her top drawer was of course what most mammals kept in their top drawer, underwear. Part of him wanted to take a moment to get a better look, but he wouldn't betray the trust she put in him like that, instead just grabbing the first pair he saw. He wasn't about to make her go commando after all.

He did spend more time however picking out pants and a shirt. He wanted to make sure he got her something really comfy to wear, but not something that would make her look frumpy. He finally settled on a pair of leggings and a lose t-shirt. Her usual casual outfit.

Once he had the outfit all picked out he couldn't help have a look around. He didn't touch anything of course. His eyes wondered over her desk, finding a picture of her family, or at least a part of it, bunny families were massive after all.

The picture next to that one made him smile however, it was a picture of him. From his graduation day at the academy. He grinned from ear to ear now. He knew how proud she was of him, but seeing that she actually kept a picture of him on her desk really hit home.

Though there was no time to dilly dally. She was waiting for him after all. He quickly grabbed the clothes he'd picked out and set out returning to the hospital.

|The train ride back to Tundra Town was boring for the most part. Save for a young fox spotting him and wanting his autograph and gushing all about how when he grew up he wanted to be a cop just like Nick.

By the time he got back up to her room she was all finished with her food and with the paper work she'd been given. "You lied." She said, sticking her tongue out at the fox.

"Hey, it's not my fault your place is so hard to find." He teased, setting her clothes on the bed for her, putting her keys on top of the stack. "There you go. Don't worry, I made sure to leave everything where I found it. Well except the clothes. I'll be waiting in the hall, shout if you need help."

While he waited out in the hall all Nick could think about was how small her apartment was. And the fact that she'd be staying there, alone while she got better. Frankly it put a frown on his face. He didn't like the idea of her being on her own right now in general, let alone in such a tiny apartment!

"Okay, you can come in." Her voice brought his attention back to the world around him. He made his way in with a smile on his lips once again. He found her in the outfit he picked out for her of course. "How do I look?"

How did she look? He looked her over as he considered her question. Sure she looked good in the outfit, but there were a few things out of place. She wasn't standing straight up like she usually did, instead she was slightly hunched to one side, the side that had been hurt. He could see on her face that she was in pain, maybe not a lot but he knew that look.

"You look good." He lied, padding over to her and holding out his arm, "Here, I'll help you walk. Let's get you home. And you better be ready for me to come check up on you everyday."

Judy wrapped her arm around his at the elbow, "If you insist. But I'm sure I'll be fine!"
