A/N: Considering we're nearing the end of the story, I'd get this done as soon as I can.

Disclaimer: Too lazy to say it. Just read it from the last chapter.

Nick awoke really early as usual so far. But his eyes still wanting to shut themselves to sleep. He yawned and looked at the time. 5:43am in the morning. He put his paw on his forehead and sighed. He hugged his body pillow closely to him and…

Wait. Body pillow?!

He quickly look down to find Judy who was cuddling him in her sleep. And to top it off, he was shirtless too!

His eyes widened as he blushed from the view. Judy was sound asleep. Her arms were wrapped around Nick. One around his neck and another over his waist.

He facepalmed himself. "What the heck happened last night?!" he thought.

Nick looked at her again. She looked so… Peaceful. At first he was a little worried but then it turned into relaxation when he realized how beautiful she was. He smiled and caressed her cheek, causing her to pull him closer to her without realizing.

He wrapped his arms around her as well and gave her a light kiss on her head. "I love you, Jude…" he whispered.

Her ears twitch and she smiled. "I love you too…" she said softly.

An eyebrow raised from Nick. "You awake?" he said.

Judy slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was her lover. "Mhm…"

"How long?"

She shrugged and yawned. "Not long I guess. But you saying that you love me was the first thing I heard."

He smiled and held her face, giving her a kiss on the cheek and rested his forehead on hers, nuzzling her nose.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes for a few seconds.

"What happened last night?" Nick asked.

"You don't remember? Outside? Stars?" She stayed quiet for a bit. "Blueberries…?"

And then it hit him. Yep… The blueberries…

He sighed. "I really am a sucker for them…"

She held his face and pecked his lips. "But you weren't complaining, were you?"

A smirk appeared on the fox as he wrapped his arms around her. "Not at all."

The two were really enjoying each other's company. This was the closest they have ever been so far and they didn't want to part their ways. Yet… Nick kissed her on the neck and she kissed him back on his cheek. He rubbed his thumb on her cheek softly, looking at her.

"We should really get out of bed now…" he said.

"A little longer? Please?" She placed her head on his chest. He sighed and rubbed the back of her head.

"You really like to take advantage with all my yes, huh?" he said.

She giggled and cuddled him. The two decided to stay like this just for a bit longer before their day began. Judy was actually a little tired but she wanted Nick to be with her just for a little while before she gets up and running.

Later

Nick was squatting down, watching the spinach grow. His ears kept moving just from watching them. He put his arms on his knees and just stared at them. At the same time, he was thinking. It would have been nice if he had come to BunnyBurrow to begin with. After all, tomorrow was his and Judy's last day here.

Suddenly, he was pushed lightly from behind. He turned and saw that it was the kids.

"Nick! Come play with us?" they said.

Nick chuckled and lifted one up in his arms. "What are we playing today?"

"We're playing pirates!"

One bunny lifted his stick up as if it was a sword. Nick laughed at this and put down the bunny he was carrying. "In a minute," he said. "I'll join you soon."

The kids then went back to the flowerfield that they played at yesterday.

He sighed, watching them run.

"You don't look happy today," said Judy, walking towards him.

He turned to her and smiled. "Well," He squatted back down, watching the spinach. "Tomorrow's our last day… How can I not not be happy?"

She placed her paw on his shoulder. "I'm sure we'll come back here someday. Or I could ask my family to come visit us."

Nick chuckled. "Can your place actually fit your entire family?"

"Well," she rubbed his shoulder which made him relaxed a bit and she hugged him. "I was thinking of moving and I thought that maybe, just maybe, if you'd like to live in someplace new. I DID ask you to move in with me since we first came here, remember?"

"Yea, I remember. Didn't think you were serious though."

She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Lighten up. The kids are waiting for you."

He looked at the spinach one last time and stood. "Might as well make it last, huh?"

She smiled. "I have to go. Dad needs help with some carrots. I'll bring back some blueberries later."

Nick didn't need to answer that. He just rubbed her head and she went on her way.

He glanced back at the spinach and chuckled. "What the heck," he thought. "I don't even like spinach."

Nick came to the kids as promise and already noticed that they've already started playing without him. They were in two large boxes and making explosion noises. Nick's first thought that those boxes were pirate ships and he laughed. They were having so much fun, 'battling' each other.

Nick then thought on how to make it more fun.

He got on all four and slowly sneak his way to the kids.

"You'll never take our gold, pirates!" one claimed pointing his stick at the other.

"We'll be taking everything from yer ship!" the other one said.

"And then suddenly…" Nick's voice was heard. "A sea monster appears!" Nick popped up before them and roared at his best. His claws sticking out to make it look like he was a monster and he bumped into their box, rattling the bunnies inside.

"Oh no! A monster has appeared!"

"What do we do Captain?!"

Nick slowly stood up and looked into the boxes. "I'm hungry!" he claimed and grabbed one by the shirt. At first she was 'scared' but then she giggled at how ticklish it felt. "Nom nom nom nom!" He put her down and rubbed her head. He turned his attention back to the other bunnies. "I'm still hungry!"

He rattled the other box and they all laughed but kept playing along. "We have to work together! Even if it means teaming with those pirates!"

"We'll never work with you, soldiers!"

Nick shook the pirate box and roared playfully. "Rawwwrrr!"

The bunnies screamed and fell off their box but were saved by their enemies.

Nick circled around their box as they gather round. The bunny who got 'eaten' watched and laughed as Nick slowly stood up above the bunnies.

"Man the cannons!"

Nick then leaped over the box as if he was a giant sea serpent. He then grabbed one bunny with his tail and lifted him up.

"It's got me!"

He then put the little soldier down where he can join the 'eaten' pirate. He returned to the box and noms on it, pretending to bite down their ship slowly.

"He's tearing down our ship!" The little bunnies all ran around the place and Nick slowly 'ate' all of them. One by one, pirates and soldiers were 'eaten' by the savage sea serpent.

But it'll take Nick forever to take down all of them considering there are over another 200 more he has to 'eat'.

"On three, we attack him all at once!" The pirate captain and army captain counted and they all leaped on Nick, pinning him down and attacking him with… Tickles.

He laughed at their attacks and squirms around. Then the 'eaten' bunnies also joined in and did the same.

"N-n-no fair!" he said, still laughing. They all stopped and Nick just lay there, playing dead.

The two captains stood on top of him and raised their sticks. "We have slain the beast!"

They all shouted in joy and victory was theirs! Or so they thought…

Nick's tail grabbed the pirate captain and then he hugged the army captain. "You think you've won?!" He laughed evilly, causing the little bunnies to panic and run around him. "Nom nom nom!" he said, pretending to eat the two captains. He stood up and started walking like a monster. "I'm gonna get you!"

He grabbed another one and lifted her in the air. "Gotcha!" And then another one with one paw. "You too!"

When suddenly, a pair of soft lips hit his cheek when he realized Judy did that. "And then, a princess kissed the monster and it became tamed and nice!" she shouted.

"Awwww!" the kids groaned. "Why did you have to do that, Judy?"

"Have you all realized that it's getting late?"

The bunnies and Nick turned to the direction of the sun setting. They were having so much fun they didn't even realize it was already getting dark. The sky was already a bright orange and the kids pouted.

"Mom baked us carrot cakes for tonight."

And immediately afterwards, the kids cheered and ran back into the house.

Judy turned her attention to her favorite fox. "You sure know how to take care of kids," she said, paws behind her, walking towards him slowly.

"All I did was play along," he admitted. She looked at him closely and he chuckled. "Something on face?"

"No," she said. "Just that… I think you really would make a great dad."

He raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Oh how dare you." He slowly wrapped his arms around her nuzzled her nose with her paws now placed on his chest.

She tugged him by the collar. "Let's go. We're having carrot cakes for tonight."

"What's the occasion?"

She pushed him away slowly and held his paw. "You'll know."

She led the way, still holding onto his paw. Nick is starting to get a little curious with what's going on. She seemed a little too happy.

She opened the door and let him go before she entered the house.

As Nick entered, he was rather… surprised. Everyone in Judy's family were all standing side by side in front of him, smiling and above them, there was a banner that said, "Welcome to the family."

Nick looked at all the decorations. The balloons, the streamers and most of all, the cake. And on it, there was something written on it, "The first fox in Hopps."

"We thought we'd throw a party for you as a welcoming gift to the family, Nicky," Stu said, an arm wrapped around Bonnie.

Nick just stared at everywhere. "You all… Did it for me…?"

"It was Judy's idea actually," Stu answered.

"Not even the kids knew to begin with," Bonnie added.

He turned to his… new family and smiled. "That… Means a lot to me…" He let out a sighed. "Wish I could have stayed long with my family…"

Judy hugged him. "Well, now you have us," she said.

"That's right, son. The first ever fox to ever be part in the history of Hopps," Stu complimented. "You should be proud. You earned it after all."

Nick smiled weakly and carried a little bunny. The little one giggled as Nick rubbed his head. Then he turned towards the Hopps. "Thank you…"

The kids then all ran towards Nick, hugging him and pinning him down. They all cheered and hopped on top and beside him.

Nick just laughed and hugged some of his new brothers and sisters up. He then turned to Judy and smiled. "Thanks," he said softly.

She just nodded and smiled back gleefully.

"Alright, everyone!," Stu announced. "It's time to settled down with some carrot cakes!"

The kids rushed towards the table and sat down, waiting for a slice of the cake. Nick finally got on his feet and tidied his shirt up. Judy then kissed his cheek unexpectedly and held his paw.

"Hope you like carrots," she said.

He smiled. "As a matter of fact…" He turned to Judy. "I LOVE Carrots."

At first, Judy was a little confused but eventually she got the joke.

So Nick decided to enjoy dinner the way the Hopps would on special occasions. At first, he hesitated eating some carrots because there wasn't any blueberries. But in the end, he got use to it and ate it anyway. However, even if he got use to it, blueberries will still be on top of his list.

And after the welcoming party, everyone was exhausted. They all went straight to bed before Nick thanked them for such a great time. And just as everyone got to their bedrooms, Judy tugged on his sleeve.

He turned to her and she offered him a few blueberries.

His thought rejoice so quickly when he noticed them. "You really do know me too well," he said popping them one by one.

She smiled just by looking at how happy he was. There was no way Nick couldn't be happy without his favorite berry. And then, a thought hit her. "Um…" was all she said, looking down, blushing. "Remember last night…?"

"Yea?"

She then hugged him slowly, still not facing him. "Do you wanna… Sleep together again…?"

Nick rubbed her head and carried her bridal-style which caught her by surprise. He then proceeded to walk up to his room and put her on his bed.

"Does that answer your question?" he said, smiling slyly at her. She nodded shly.

He then turned around and took off his shirt, which made her blush even more. She was blushing so furiously Nick could even see it even in the dark. It was glowing red and he chuckled.

"What? Too much?"

She looked away. "You think?"

He caressed her cheek which made her relax a bit.

She slowly smiled and placed her paw on his. "We really should get to sleep. It's our last day tomorrow…"

He looked down, disappointed with his ears down. "I know…"

She then held his face with both paws and looked at him. "Don't worry. We can come again next time." She kissed him on his nose.

He smiled and placed his paw on her neck, lips almost in contact on each other. "Thanks…"

The two embrace each other closely, feeling each other's warmth. Judy's eyes still opened and she muffled in his chest, "Goodnight, Nick…"

He kissed her on her head and replied, "Sweet dreams, Judy…"

She smiled from hearing her name being called and slowly closed her eyes, drifting to sleep in his embrace.

A/N: Only two more chapters to go. So I'm not gonna lie but the final chapter might be a little shorter than the rest. That's why for the next chapter, I'm gonna make sure Nick enjoys his final day in BunnyBurrow before going back to Zootopia.

There is an illustration of this chapter in my tumblr so check it out if you want.

Anyway, time for me to go think up of the next two chapters. Hope you all enjoy. Ciao.
