First time Author's Note: So yeah. I decided to make it a One-shot Collection. Hooray.

Family Food

Wilde, with Hopps'… absence at the moment and with last week's incident still on my mind, here is your assignment today. Do me a favor and don't let this result into a catastrophe. DeLion, Shieldfoot, you will be on…

Sharp eyes gaze on their target. They just stay there, floating on a sea of creamy white in all there colorful glory. The predator licks his lips, anticipating the sweet taste of his prey. The serenity of the bowl is disrupted by a metal emergence, capturing few of the floating rings. The spoon brings them closer to a large dark opening, bordered by teeth. Closer. Closer…

"Mmm… Delishshush…"

Officer Benjamin Clawhauser enjoys another bite of his first breakfast of PreyO's, savoring the sweet sugary spread mixed with refreshing milk. It was another normal morning for the chubby cheetah, bringing him to another normal breakfast. As he positioned the spoon for another bite, a tap came from the side of the reception desk. Turning his head to the side, Clawhauser was welcomed by the sight of ZPD's fox officer, Nicholas P. Wilde.

"Hey, Ben." Nick greeted tiringly, yawning a bit before taking a gulp of the police brew of Nescate coffee. He was wearing the police uniform while holding a folder on his right paw.

"Oh! Nick! What's up?" The cheetah officer said with cheer, looking below for a certain bunny police officer. "Where's Judy?"

"Carrots needed to head to The Burrows for a baby shower. Or should I say babies shower." Nick explained as he placed the folder on the counter before leaning on the surface himself. Clawhauser listened intently while taking another spoon-full of breakfast.

"Oh. How mhuny dish thime?" He asked, speaking with his mouth full with a few crumbs falling out.

"From what I heard she's got 6 new siblings, 38 new cousins, and around… 70? 80 new nephews and nieces?" Nick exclaimed with difficulty, trying to remember all the details.

"Whatever the number was, her family her forced to leave work again. Don't know how they do it." The fox finished, knowing it would take a lot to get his workaholic partner to have a break.

"Do you ever wonder how Judy or any rabbit manages to remember the names of every person in their family?" Nick shrugs in response.

"I think every other animal wonders that. I'm no closer to finding that out than you are."

"Oh. Well, going solo on your case then? What can I help you with?"

"Actually, with Goasher being absent, my assignment is reception duty for the day while I'm on standby. Chief's still got his eye on me after the accident in the helium plant. Which is totally not completely my fault, by the way."

No one knows what happened, but apparently something or someone caused a helium leak when the police cornered robbers who broke into the plant. The resulting voice change made it quite hard to take the capture seriously, even if Chief Bogo spoke through a megaphone. If anything, that scene made it much more difficult to contain the laughter.

"Oh right. Janus has a dental appointment today. Great! Welcome aboard, Officer Wilde! Good to finally see you here in the frontlines of the ZPD!" Clawhauser said as he stepped back a bit from the reception table to welcome the fox officer inside. Nick raised an eyebrow, not fully agreeing with the cheetah's statement that this is where all the action is, but kept it to himself and stepped behind the table.

"Uh… Sure thing, Clawhauser. Care to give me a run through of what I'm supposed to do?" Clawhauser gave a salute and then started pointing out the different areas of the table.

"Alright, so first thing to remember is…"

BUNNYBURROWS

"So this here is Angel, Denise, Lola, Janett, Porter, and Frodo!" Judy's father, Stu Hopps, introduced Miss Judy Hopps to her new siblings, pointing them out one by one who were positioned in a straight line. All the babies were in their individual cribs, wrapped in small blankets color coded to their gender. Blue for females and pink for males.

They were inside one of the nurseries of a burrow belonging to one of their richer family members, who had a very large burrow, even for rabbit standards. Just outside were other rabbits of Judy's family who came also for the reunion.

"Here, Judy. Say hello to one of your sisters." Her mother, Bonnie Hopps, took which the narrator believes is Janett from her crib and placed her in Judy's arms. The baby had the brownish fur of her dad, eyes softly shut closed with her ears tucked inside the blanket cocoon. The sight of her sleeping sister brought a peaceful feeling that made Judy smile warmly.

"They're beautiful, Mom, Dad." Judy said as she returned her sister safely back into her crib.

"We appreciate it that you have found the time to visit us for this occasion, sweetie." Her mom said with her dad nodding in agreement.

"No problem, Mom. You can thank Cousin Kelly for that." The police bunny said kindly at first before murmuring darkly at the end. Any negative emotion that she spoke directly passed right through her parents who haven't even caught wind of it.

"Speaking of cousins, we got to start introducing the new ones to you! Let's go find Jack's first. And here I thought my brother would never get married." Her father began to trail off to his stories once again as the three of them left the nursery. Judy suddenly heard bits of a rushing sound when a large ball of fur launched at her from behind, catching her in a tight hug.

"Hey, Cousin Judy! Thank you so much for coming!" Judy's face fell into annoyance when she heard that familiar country-accented voice. She turned around to see another bunny with black fur and orange eyes, wearing a differently colored flannel shirt and jeans. She had a huge smile on her face, one that didn't really faze Judy.

"Good to be here, Kelly. You would know that." The grey bunny said flatly as she continued her deadpanned stare at her cousin. Kelly shrugged it off and faced Judy's parents while throwing an arm around her shoulder.

"Uncle Stu, Aunt Bonnie, could I borrow Judy for a while? It's been forever since we spoke to each other." Both Judy's parent looked at each other before giving a smile to the two younger bunnies who gave them smiles back as well.

"Oh sure thing, Kelly. Judy! Meet us later at nursery 5, alright!" As her parents left through the corridor, Judy's smile fell and was replaced with a firm grimace.

"Alright. Spill."

"C'mon Judes, no need to be a stick in a mud. You really need a break sometimes. I brought you here so we can all catch up and stuff." Kelly said while still holding on to a smile that Judy still did not return.

"Kelly, I have known you for almost all my life and I know you are one to have hidden agendas."

"I have never hurt anyone with them thoughts, have I?"

"No one except us. You gotten us into trouble after trouble before for your wild ideas."

"That was in the past! We're adults now. Judy, I'm serious. I just really want to tell you this bit of news in person. Please believe me?" Kelly begged with pouting lips and wide eyes. Judy tried to stand firm, but she gave up with a sigh.

"I can never stay mad at you, can I? So what is it?" Kelly's pout turned into a wide grinned as she showed Judy her right paw that had a ring on one finger

"I'm getting married!" And it was if all the negative emotions in Judy left suddenly as her jaw hit the ground.

"No. Way! To whom?" Judy asked in pure shocked delight while Kelly laughed at the police rabbit's expression.

"Remember Steven from the heavy hay lifting competition last year? He proposed to me 2 months ago!" The black rabbit professed. Judy hugged her cousin in her happiness for her.

"That's great Kelly! Congratulations!" Kelly also returned the hug happily, before breaking off in a few seconds while holding onto the sides of Judy's arms.

"That's why I also brought you here! I wanna talk to you about stuff because I want you to be one of my bridesmaids!" That statement made Judy rub the back of her head in both embarrassment and shyness.

"I'm honored, but I don't know if I can-" Kelly then interrupted her by grabbing one of her arms and dragging her down one of the halls, going past their relatives who were strewn across the corridor.

"Oh, fosha! C'mon! A few of my sisters and our other cousins wanted to talk about it after I told you!"

And it was there that a familiar sense came back to Judy. A sense that usually came when Kelly was involved. Sometimes her cousin's doing, sometimes not. But when it came, it usually meant one thing.

"I have feeling this won't end well for me."

ZOOTOPIA

There is no other way to say that Nick was bored. Only one call has come through front desk since this morning and that was a request by a mother panther whose kitten got stuck on a tree because of his new discovery that he was afraid of heights after climbing said tree. Needless to say, the request was transferred to the Zootopia Fire Department. Since then, he has been in the same position for a few hours; One paw supporting his drooping face while the other tapped on the desk, forming rhythms every other ten minutes.

Now here he was, looking at a sheep who was searching franticly in all directions while holding his hooves between his legs.

"Can I help you, Sir?" Nick asked cautiously, still startling the sheep who first looked to Nick before looking around again.

"Oh. A-a-ah I need to um… uh… Know! Yes. Kno-o-ow where the B-a-a-athroom is. Ple-e-ease!" The sheep stuttered with a timid but desperate voice. The fox officer then pointed to his right.

"Uh, it's over there. The first door by the left of the corridor." The sheep then gave a huge smile of relief before running in that direction.

"Tha-a-a-ank you!" He cried as he reached the corridor and entered the rest room. After watching the sheep disappear, his eyes turned again to the sloth who was approaching the front desk, albeit at his own pace. He's been at it for more than 20 minutes now and is still not halfway to reception.

Nick sighed again, looking back to Clawhauser who was finishing another bottle of Coca-Koala.

"Slow day today, isn't it?" Nick exclaimed, catching Clawhauser's attention

"Really? Haven't noticed. I don't really mind though. Usually means more time for these babies." The chubby cheetah said as he pulled a box of donuts from out of somewhere and placed them right on the desk. This brought a questioning and confused expression on Nick's face.

"Where did you get those donuts? I didn't see anyone deliver a box."

"Oh. I bought them this morning. Hid them in my stash." Clawhauser answered him, taking a bite out of one of the donuts.

"Stash?" Nick inquired.

"Ya. I'll show it to you later for merienda." Clawhauser said as he ate one donut in one bite, finishing it instantly. The last word was unfamiliar to Nick.

"Merienda? What in the world is that?"

"It's a Bullaniard tradition where they have a meal or snack between lunch and dinner. I just thought 'what a great idea!' so I adopted it myself. And speaking of lunch, time to have a donut feast. Want one, Nick? This one's blueberry!" Clawhauser offered, revealing to Nick the opened donut box while pointing to one of the donuts with a blue glaze over it. Nick looked from the donut to Clawhauser and back again before taking the donut unsurely.

"Uh, thanks a lot, Ben." Nick said, taking a slow bite out of the blueberry donut while watching the cheetah run through the entire donut box.

"Dow't mheshun ihct. I hahv tuh mur buxches." Clawhauser said with a full mouth, revealing another two boxes, each with half a dozen donuts inside.

Nick raised his eyebrow again as he took another unsure bite out of his donut.

BUNNYBURROWS

Judy sat around one of the guest rooms with ten other bunnies her age, including Kelly. As expected, all the girls talked about Kelly's upcoming wedding.

"So, who is this Steven again? I am not all that familiar with this bunny." Judy asked, putting down her phone on a table between her and Kelly.

"Oh, he's a charming corn farmer who has even cornier jokes and the corniest pick up lines, but the most adorable smile and heart made of the same color as his corn. Gold." Kelly said dreamily, sighing as she place her chin in her paws.

"Bunny's got it so bad for him, doesn't she?" Kelly's chocolate-furred sister, Rochelle, whispered loudly to all the bunnies present in the room, inciting a giggle from all the bunnies. Kelly huffed in response.

"Well, he is gonna be my husband. Should I not be in love with my own husband?"

"I get what you mean. Even though he is clumsiest two-left-footed rabbit, Riley always manages to sweep me off my feet." Their yellow-furred cousin, Bree, agreed giddily.

"What about you Judy? Any bunny caught your eye?" Their soft-spoken albino cousin, Winter, asked the rabbit officer timidly.

"Uh… hehe, I don't really have anyone in mind. A lot of other guys around town were kind of intimidated that I wanted to be a police officer." Judy admitted, slightly embarrassed of both the fact and being the center of attention.

"How about there in the city? You got a lot of options there." Another of Kelly's sisters, Hailey, further inquired.

"Being in the police, I don't really have much contact with any other rabbit at work and a lot of the other rabbits I meet aren't really bachelors or the type I respect." Judy admitted while shrugging.

"Bunny, do you even try to find datable guys? They just don't grow in the fields you know. Unless you're here in Bunnyburrows, ofcourse." Rochelle scolded.

"I'm kind of focused on my work. The closest friendship I have with a guy is with my partner back at the force."

To half the girls in the group, it was as if only the words they heard in the second statement was "closest" and "guy".

"Oooh. So is he hot?" Hailey teased, causing Judy's ear to fall as she frowned.

"Hailey. He is not a bunny. Remember that I'm the only rabbit officer in Zootopia?"

"Just because Gazelle is a gazelle doesn't mean we can't say she's like an angel." There was some logic in Hailey's statement. "So is he?"

"That's not something I really think about my partner, you know." Judy stated, wanting the topic to shift from where they were now.

"Is it the fox that you have told me about before?" Judy's identically fur colored sister, Rachel, suddenly popped in that question which brought an immediate response by all their cousins.

"A FOX!?" All the other girls shouted, prompting Judy to close her eyes shut before opening them slowly afterwards as if an explosion happened nearby.

"See? This is why I told you that your presumption are inv-"

"You want to date a fox?" Bree interrupted her with this question.

A question Judy did not totally expect.

"WHAT!? NO!" Judy exclaimed, ears straightened back with a warm pink color filling them from embarrassment and shock.

"Fox?" Judy pointed to the wall, nowhere in particular. "Bunny? Do you not see what is wrong with that?" She asked, pointing back to herself on the bunny part.

"Like I said, just cause one's a different species doesn't mean it can't be on the menu. Oh. That would awkward for a predator to say." Hailey admitted awkwardly.

"Speaking of predator, playing with fire, huh Judy? You daring, bunny." Rochelle said, teasing her already embarrassed cousin.

"Do all foxes look like Gideon Grey? Cause that fox is alright, don't get me wrong, but he looks a bit on the chubby side." Rachel inquired, curiosity abounding in her eyes.

"I can't believe you guys are talking about this." Judy complained, bringing her paws towards her face as her ears lowered in annoyance.

"He's this one, isn't he?" When Judy heard that statement with Kelly's voice, both her ears and her head jumped alerting up to find her cousin holding the officers phone, showing a selfie of a smirking Nick Wilde.

"KELLY! When did you get my phone?!" Judy desperately felt her pockets to find them empty, much to her dismay.

"It was just there on the table and it was open. So I think this is him. I mean, he is wearing a police uniform." Kelly said as she showed the picture to everyone, which brought the other bunnies closer to see. And a lot of them liked what they saw.

A closer look at the selfie showed Nick with a cup of coffee on his free hand and his signature sunglasses at the top of his head, revealing his half covered eyes in his normal, cool-headed, sleepy like expression.

"Wow! Not a total hunk, but he's got figure, that's for sure. And I like that." Hailey complimented, biting her lips for a second before popping them.

"Look at his eyes. They are like cut green emeralds around a black disc." Bree observed plainly.

"If he wears those sunglasses, he would definitely have the look of a lady killer." Rachel joked, giggling a bit.

"He looks handsome in his Cop outfit." Winter admitted, her white fur betraying the color of her blush.

"I can't believe you guys are talking about this!" Judy complained once more, trying to get her phone back.

"I don't mind if he's a predator. I'd let him take a bit-"

"NOPE! You are not finishing that statement!" Judy interrupted Rochelle with a loud shout, bringing silence in the room before she fell back on the couch with her arms crossed and a frown on her face.

"So you aren't interested in him, right?" Winter asked, breaking the silence.

"Absolutely not." Judy stated plainly, resuming the silence again.

Silence continued until Kelly looked through her phone again.

"…Oh look, there's his number." Rochelle pointed out.

Judy's eye twitched.

"Can I have it?" Hailey asked kindly.

ZOOTOPIA

Nick's sneeze brought him out of his sleepy state. He looked back at the clock and saw that it was 5:00. Almost quitting time. Today was a good day for the law, but not for some of the officers. It was as if all of Zootopia's criminals went on vacation and the problems the ZPD only faced today was simple stuff like kittens being caught in a tree or being asked directions. There wasn't even one detainee who passed through doors of ZPD headquarters. Nick believed he wasn't the only one who noticed as some of the officers who came back from patrol looked oddly… bored.

Nick's phone suddenly rang, further waking him up. He checked his phone to see that it was a text from Judy.

"On my way back. Can you pick me up at the train station in an hour? Thanks."

Nick rolled his eyes. He didn't even reply yet and she already said thank you. He texted a confirmation before already cleaning up his area so that he can leave as soon as he can.

While doing so, he noticed that Clawhauser's station was very personalized. The thing, or the things, that caught his attention the most was the large number of the Gazelle fan items, such as the Gazelle snowball and the mug with Gazelle's name on it.

"Hey, Nick? Nick?" Clawhauser's voice broke his concentration, causing the fox to shake his head before turning to the cheetah.

"Huh? What is it Clawhauser?"

"You have now served your time as an honorary member of reception and since it also coincidental that I'm hungry right now, it is time for me to show you…" Clawhauser looked left and right for any eavesdroppers before continuing. "The Stash."

Nick just raised his eyebrow again for what seems to be the 15th time today and nodded slowly as Clawhauser continued his monologue.

"This is the stash of all things pure and sweet, ready to be eaten in times of crisis! Only those of the reception department are aware of its existence."

The cheetah then pointed a claw on a fat finger towards him, making Nick cross his eyes to look at it.

"You must swear to keep this secret as much as you can. Do you swear?" Clawhauser asked, closing his eyes and raising his right paw. Nick just continued to be confused.

"I… swear?" The fox answered uncertainly. Clawhauser then broke his serious act with a smile.

"Good enough." The cheetah reached underneath the table and pulled out a large drawer, which Nick questioned himself on why he hadn't seen that the whole day, and stepped back to show to the fox officer the stash. Nick's face was one that showed the expression of being completely dumbstruck.

"Well? What do you think?" Clawhauser asked with a grin. The fox just continued to stare at it in silence, breaking it after a few seconds.

"…Forget protocol. Is it even legal to keep this amount of sugar in one place?"

"I think so? But anyway, I actually showed you the stash because this stuff is going to go bad tomorrow and I need someone to help me finish it." Clawhauser explained, taking a huge box of donuts from the drawer and started chomping through the contents. Nick starred in disbelief. Both at the amazing number of sweets in the stash and his co-workers speed in eating.

"I don't think that's even possible, Clawhauser." The cheetah then looked to him, a smug look on his chubby face.

"You underestimate my power, Nick… And I know I can't alone. So here, eat this entire box." Clawhauser said while pulling out another box from the stash and placing it in Nick's hands.

ZOOTOPIA

Judy walked out of the train station to find a familiar police cruiser waiting near the sidewalk. The cruiser honked in a while, signaling that was indeed her ride. The rabbit then opened the passenger door and hopped onto the seat.

"Hey, Nick. Thanks for picking me- Whoah." She was a bit surprised with Nick's appearance. The disgruntled fox had plenty of sugar, sprinkles, and a bit of frosting around his lips and his belly was a bit larger than usual.

"You look… stuffed." Judy said, trying to find the right words for her observation.

"Aren't you observant?" Nick sarcastically remarked. "You can thank Clawhauser for that. I swear I have diabetes now. And what about you? You look haggard."

Judy opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. Then opened it once more, only to close it again without uttering a word. In that time, her ears popped up when she was about to talk, then dropped as she closed her mouth. Finally, she gave up her explanation and stared ahead.

"Just… Leave it there." She demanded plainly, looking through her bag after she said so. Nick raised an eyebrow for what he hopes is his last time today before shrugging off and placing his seatbelt on.

"Oh, before we go, I brought you something. My parent's blueberries! Your favorite." Judy said with a smile as she revealed a small container holding a fair number of blueberries. Nick turned to her and looked at the berries with wonder, then horror, then sickness, then sadness before finally glaring at her.

"You cruel, cruel bunny." Nick said darkly, confusing his rabbit partner greatly as she expected a Nick crying tears of joy and thanking her than what she was looking at now. Still, Nick grabbed the container and gazed at longingly.

"Don't worry, my lovelies. I will be with you soon." Nick sniffled sadly as he put them in the compartment between him and Judy and left the train stations, a depressing frown still on his face. Finally, Judy just didn't mind anymore. It was clear he spent a good amount of time with Clawhauser.

"Weird Fox."

ZOOTOPIA

A few days later:

"Hey, Carrots! I don't know if they put the wrong address, but I seem to have gotten your cousin's wedding invitation. Or at least I think it's your cousin. There's Hopps in it."

Disclaimer: I do not own Zootopia. (duh)
