AN: Chapter 2 of my Zootopia Fan fiction. I thought for a minute to name the chapters like calling this one Mamma's lil fox & pawsicles but desided it would be too hard to think of a new chapter name each time. Chapter 4 will be the start of them going against the baddy & trying to figure out who it is. Everyone belongs to Disney. Please enjoy.

Judy slips Nick's Spare key onto her key ring. She offered to give it back but Nick told her to keep it. They did already make a spare of to her apartment for him to keep anyway. Not that he would admit it but now that she seen his place & said nothing negative about it he felt better having her over. Not that he thought she would insult his home, he knew her better than that. For lack of a better word Nick lived more humble than the air he gives off about himself. He drives through Savanna Central heading to his mothers Apartment the same home he grew up in. "Your Mother wont mind you are brining a guest with you?" Judy asked as she slips her keys back into her pocket.

Nick shifts his eyes to her a bit then shrugs "No she heard of you. We were in the newspaper a few times" He shifts his eyes back to the road. The rest of the drive was quiet, but before too long Nick pulls up to an apartment building & parks.

"Here we are." Nick turns off the car removing his seat belt before turning to his partner. "My mom is a pretty open minded vixen you don't have to worry." Judy looked up to the fox next to her.

"I'm not worried. You never said anything that would make me worry." She thinks for a moment before speaking again. "It can't be any different than when you met my parents, I just didn't want to impose"

"Well let's go Fluff before she thinks I'm not coming" Nick gets out of the car with Judy following suit. The apartment building was seven stories tall but no wider than a house. The first floor & basement were communal with the second, third, & forth floors being more like three two story houses stacked on top of each other. An elevator & stares connecting the levels skipping each apartment's up stares level.

Nick's mother lived on the second floor. He could remember sneaking out the window after she had gone to bed to hustle mammals who thought they were smarter than a kid. He also remembers when he was caught by the ZPD. His mother was not happy being woke up by the cops dragging her 13 year old son home at five in the morning. Over time he did get better & smarter even helping her pay the bills. Ringing for the elevator the two ride it quietly up to the second floor. When the doors they are presented with a hallway & a tan door with the name "Wilde" printed on the front. Walking to the door Nick knocks then steps back a bit. While they wait Judy looks at the hallway imagining a little Nick running around playing here. She is drawn out of her day dream by the click of the door opening. There stood a vixen in her in her 50s wearing a lite purple sweater & red skirt. Except for a little grey in her fur Nick's mother looked good for a fox her age Judy thought.

After greeting his mother with a hug Nick turns a paw to Judy. "Mom this is my friend & partner Ca- I mean Judy Hopps"

Mrs. Wilde turns to Judy with a smile. "It is so good to see you in person Ms. Hopps. Nick talks so highly of you. Both of you come in" The two follow Mrs. Wilde back into the apartment.

Nick smells the air once inside. "MMMM Blueberry bread."

"Nicholas don't you dare it's still too hot" His mother scolded him.

"Nick you can't be hungry we just had breakfast." Judy chimed in.

Mrs. Wilde giggles to herself a bit "Nick could never resist a blueberry."

"Oh I know he put blueberry jam on blueberry pancakes."

"Yep that sounds like him."

Nicks ears go back & he grumbles to himself a bit. "You know I can hear you right? I'm right here."

"We know." Came the reply from both of them.

Judy changed the subject "Nick has told me a lot about you too Mrs. Wilde. Normally when he talks about his childhood." As Judy & Mrs. Wilde talk Nick comes back in & sits down on the couch where Judy had already been sitting, Mrs. Wilde sitting in her armchair.

"It wasn't always easy rasing him but it was worth it. My Husband John would be proud to see how Nick turned out." Nick's ears lower laying flat on his head at hearing his father's name.

Judy looks over to Nick then back to Mrs. Wilde. "Um Nick never mentioned his father"

Mrs. Wilde nodded & passed the bunny a photo that was sitting on the table next to her chair. "John passed away when Nick was four. He was a great mammal. Big dreamer. He was a tailor, opened his own shop, called it Suit-Topia. He catered to anyone who came into the store from the smallest mouse to the biggest Elephant to the tallest Giraffe. He worked hard everyday up until he was too sick to."

Judy frowns listening Mrs. Wilde's story about Nick's Father. Nick takes a chance to say something. "We kept the store in the family it's my house now." Judy looks over to Nick. She did think it looked like a store when the Taxi dropped her off. But now she knew it was more than just a humble living area for her friend it was a tie to the father he lost at a young age. The rest of the visit went three had lunch of sandwiches made with the Blueberry bread Nick wanted so badly after he showed Judy around even his childhood bedroom.

Before leaving Mrs. Wilde pulls Judy to the side while Nick waits outside in the hallway. "Judy incase Nick never let you know you mean a lot to him. He isn't one to spend a lot of time with others even those he calls his friends. To spend so much time with you let alone talk about you means you hold a special place in his heart." Judy smiles her purple eyes start to water. She hugs Mrs. Wilde before leaving to meet back up with her favorite fox. She saw him leaning against the wall by the elevator playing with his tie. He looks up to her when he hears the door close. She walks over hugging him around the waste laying her face against him.

Nick raises an eyebrow looking down at her. "What did my mom say to you?"

She moves her face just enough to be heard "She just told me that you deeply care about me."

Nick rolls his eyes a bit "I didn't think how we felt about each other was a big secret. I mean look at what you parents think."

Judy giggled a big against him then released the hug. "Yeah but it's still good to hear Slick." The two leave to meet with Finnick. It turns out an organic food market heard about Nick & Finnick's Pawpsicles & wanted to help with the making, packaging & distributing of them for only 10% of the profits. The Fox Duo would need to check out the factory come up with flavors, & come in at least once a month for expections so that everything is done to their standards. The only other catch was the two would have to pay out of pocket for the new molds the factory would use to make them.

"Big fan of our Pawpsicles if they want to help us make them bigger, at least there wont be any need to buy any Jumbo pops anymore." Nick spoke as he skimmed the paper Finnick had given him.

Pacing in front of him & Judy, Finnick thinks for a minute before talking "I just don't get it. We pulled that hustle for years & now all of a sudden someone thinks our pawpsicles are the best thing since Bug burgers?"

Putting the paper down Nick frowns, shifting his eyes they stop on Judy making him smile as he gets an idea. "Hey why not bring Carrots with us she can act as our representative make sure everything is on the level."

Finnick nods a bit at the thought. "Yeah Cop Hopps is a smart rabbit she out smarted you."

Judy's purple eyes shift back & fourth between he two. "What am I suppose to do?"

"Easy you just come with us & if anything seems off you tell Finnick or I. Just like working on a case." Sighing Judy agrees but not totally reluctantly she thought it was a good idea. Nick called up the number on the paper, getting an answer in a couple rings. He was able to make an appointment to meet with the organic food market owners. They agreed on meeting in a couple of hours & would tour the factory, talk, & hopefully sign the contract. The trio made their way to the meeting.

As the foxes talked to the Organic foods owners (a zebra & a goat) Judy kept her ears & eyes open looking around while shifting her ears listening. "We heard of your Pawpsicles for a while now. But after we found out one of the owners was a member of the ZPD we decided why not give back & help out make this small business bigger" The goat explained to them.

"People have always seemed to like our product. Being able to make more than 90 a day & in more flavors does sound intriguing." Nick tried using his skills to sound like a small business mammal rather than someone who did it as a hustle.

The Zebra nods with a smile on his face speaking up "We have also always wanted to help others get their business off the ground since someone took a chance on us when we started out." Nick & Finnick look over to Judy who gave them a thumbs up.

Nodding then turning back to the zebra & goat "It sounds like this is very fair. Let's start." The two businessmammals lead the three to a room with a long table surrounded by chairs. All five sit before the goat presses an intercom button asking whomever is on the other end to bring in the contracts & other paperwork.

It only takes five minutes before a female camel comes in with two folders laying them neatly in front of Nick & Finnick before exiting the room again. The Zebra speaks up when the door closes. "The first folder holds the contract. It list everything we talked about & placed in the paperwork we gave you. The other folder is paperwork to fill out about the flavors, the size of the pawpsicle & what price you plan to have them sold for." The two foxes look over the contract reading through it a couple times. Luckily it made more sense to the two con artist than it did to their bunny companion. Like all rabbits she was good at math but thats was the best of her knowledge with numbers went. The way the contract worded it made her feel lost as well. After the signing the fox duo decided the price, size, & flavors. They went with cherry, blueberry, lemon, & carrot for the flavors, keeping with Finnick's foot size, & decided to sell them for $2.00 each or $16.00 for a box of eight.

The rest of the week went off without a hitch. It was slow as far as Nick & Judy were concerned just patrols around Savanna Central. Nick & Finnick approved the taste of the flavors & payed for the molds to be made. Their last day of work before two officer's week long vacation was winding down to a close. The two sat at their desk across from each other filling out the last of their paperwork. Nick hated this part but he knew there was no way Judy was going to let him pawn it off on her. As they finish up & clock out they make their way past Clawhauser's desk. "Have a good time on your Vacation" he spoke in his normal cheery voice.

"Will do" Nick answered back with a wave of his paw. The two would have to pack tonight to make sure they caught the early train to Bunnyburrow. Nick had no idea why Judy insisted on catching the first one out in the morning or not just take his car, but thought better than to argue with her about it. Maybe he could sleep on the trip.

As the two got into Nick's car (which Judy convinced him to start taking to work) angry eyes watched them through binoculars from a distant window. The brown eyes shifted between them before the owner moved away walking off.

AN:I hope you liked Chapter two. The villian is already watching them. More about this mammal will be talked about in Chapter four so that they get a nice vacation before things get tough. Please Comment & let me know what you think it helps me keep writing thank you.
