Chapter 19 - Mad Matriarch

15 minutes later they pulled up to a quaint one-story house. It was rather simplistic with it's country charm. There were a few rocking chairs as well as a swinging bench on an old wrap-around porch with a thatched roof. A few bunnies, ranging from young kit to mid-teens were sprawled out on the front yard, a few more on the porch. They appeared to be waiting for their parents to come home since as soon as the truck rounded the corner they sprang to their feet and ran to it, nearly knocking Bonnie over as her kids swarmed over her. Judy got out of the truck next and the swarm moved to envelop her too. When Nick got out the kids became still, unsure where the new fox came from.

Nick froze up, a smile half formed on his face realizing the kids were worried, possibly even afraid of him. He shuffled his feet and looked over at Judy. She gave him a small smile and prodded him forward, wanting him to introduce himself to her siblings. Before he got too far, he felt a small tug on his pants. He looked down to see a kit probably no older than 5. "Well hello there little one. What can I do for you?"

She looked up at him with a sad look on her face. "Mister fox, did you hurt my daddy?" She pointed to a still prone Stu in the back of the truck. Nick's friendly smile flickered and vanished.

Bonnie rushed over. "No Sarah, he didn't. Daddy was being a bit…unwelcome to our guest and sort of ended up…asleep for a little while." Sarah smiled at that and grabbed the fox's paw tightly, leading him to the front door.

"Asleep, huh?" started one of Judy's brothers. "Is that due to him having a fox taser shoved up his a-"

"Jonathan!" Bonnie cut him off. "You and your brothers just...just take your father inside. Put him in the den for now." Grumbling they all came off the porch and hefted the old buck off the truck and into the house.

"I'm gonna go see how Nick is doing. He's probably been buried by bunnies by now." Judy hugged her mother again before skipping through the door.

Bonnie shook her head. Serves the old codger right, she mused. Promises to behave himself and keep an open mind and the first thing he does is attack him with a taser. A COP no less! He's going to have some explaining to do and I hope I'm the one who sees him first or else Judy might make him eat the damn thing next time.

Judy walked down the halls of the burrow pausing at different rooms to see where her fox might have been dragged off to. Making her was towards the center of the first floor she saw a good number of her siblings gathered outside the living room, watching something that was unfolding inside. Peering over them she saw Nick softly stomping around, his arms raised overhead and lightly snarling.

"Oh no! The big bad fox monster is going to eat us!" "What do we do?!" "GET HIM!"

At that, 30 or 40 small bunnies leapt at the snarling fox knocking him over as they pinned him down and started tickling his ribs. Shaking with laughter, the red fox managed to gasp out "I surrender! I surrender!" A lot of groans came from the group of kits at that.

"No fair. He lasted longer against the last group."

"I'm sorry kiddos, the big bad fox monster can only take so much." Catching Judy leaning against the doorway with a smile on her face, he winked at her. "Besides, your big sister has already beaten me up too much. My bunny defenses are too weak."

With that, a lot of the bunnies turned and scowled at Judy, her smile turning into a look of shock. "GET HER!" They screamed as they began chasing her through the house, making Nick chuckle.

Bonnie sat in the den crocheting the 250 winter scarves she needed to get done in the next few months when Stu finally let out a groan. Not bothering to stop her work, Bonnie tossed him a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of water. Grimacing, Stu swallowed them to take the edge off his headache. "Wh-…What happened?"

"Before or after you tried to electrocute our daughter's mate?" Bonnie spit out, a touch of venom in her voice.

Stu winced at the obvious anger his wife was projecting. "Did that bastard hit me? Why am I in so much pain?"

Bonnie scoffed. "Don't remember, huh?" Stu shook his head. "Well here's a quick rundown. You pulled a taser on a cop, that is our daughter's mate, who is also a cop, one who has taken on rhinos. Long story short, she disarmed you and shoved that taser up your ass. Literally. Muttered something about 'keeping a promise' to herself."

Stu's eyes widened. "Judy did what?!" he screamed.

Bonnie's eyes flashed with pure anger. "Don't you dare take that tone. I. Am. Mortified. Here you told me you could keep it civil. Keep an open mind. Try to keep your relationship with your daughter intact, and the first thing you do is try to assault him! You should be ashamed of yourself, because I know I am certainly ashamed of you." She stood up, tossed her partially made scarf on the floor, and stormed out. In the door way, she turned back to Stu. "As for your 'big nasty fox', that gentle giant has been playing with all of our kids for several hours. And I mean all of them. They adore him so you best be prepared to make a few enemies if you try that shit again." She breathed to calm herself down. "You'll find your pillow and sheets in the barn. You won't be anywhere near our bed tonight." With that she left leaving a distraught Stu wallowing in his despair.
