Chapter 3: Taking care of a sick child, with an earful of a tail to tell.

Nick's POV

The next Morning I woke up to the sound of hard breathing, I opened my eyes to see Nico huddled close to me, snuggling into my fur with I held him close in my arms, and had my tail wrapped around him tightly. I placed a paw on his forehead, and noticed how warm it was.

" Nico, Nico wake up." I said, shaking him gently, he woke up with a half lidded gaze groaning, as if his body was in pain, and he looked tired." Nico are you feeling alright?" I asked, he simply made a face that looked like he was going to toss his cookies. " Oh boy," I said, grabbing a trashcan, and held him over it. After he was done I pulled him back onto the bed as he began panting heavily. " Oh, Nico what's wrong with you?" I asked with a great deal of concern.

" D-Dad, I-I feel so so t-tired." He panted weakly, " and everything aches-so much." His fatigue was getting worse.

" Nico, don't talk daddy's gone take good care of you." I said, planting a kiss on his forehead. " Now just lie down while I go get the thermometer, and if you need to throw up again the trash can's right there." I assured him. I ran to the Bathroom grabbed a thermometer, and put a plastic sleeve over it, and ran back to Nico. It was painful for me as a father to see my son on the bed to tired to move, everything aching, and he really wanted to go outside, and play so he could make some friends, but now he couldn't. I felt terrible that he couldn't do the things a kid his age should do. " Now hold this under your tongue, and I'll be back to check up on you." I said kissing his forehead again.

I grabbed some clothes from my closet went to the Bathroom, stripped out of my sweat shorts, and got into the shower. After I was done I went to the ketchen after drying off, and wrapping a towel around my waste, ( believe me it takes a lot more then just a rub of the towel to dry fur off, and I hate having my wet fur soak my clothes) after I heard the beep of the thermometer go off I was right at Nico' side I checked the Thermometer. " Your slightly above average, so it's a mild fever." I said, as I rubbed his head which lulled him to sleep, that's when suddenly two ears popped out of the top of his head, and strangely enough they looked like fox ears, the fur was the same Caramel color as Nico's hair with white fur on the inside, and chocolate brown tipping them not to mention the looked real, after rubbing them I realized they were real, and actually apart of him, when the left ear twitched. I checked the sides of his human ears were gone. " What the-?" I said, as I sat down next to him.

" Ow!" He said, as I sat on something under the sheet, I threw it off only to find a tail an actual genuine fox tail jutting out of the base of my son' spine. It was the fur Caramel colored too, and the tip was the same chocolate brown as the tips of his ears. His nails grew rapidly narrowing into claws, and I saw canine teeth start to pop out of the corners of his upper lip.

What was happening to my little boy, I knew that if I left there was a chance of a repeat of my prank, and with Nico being sick I needed to keep that from happening. I carefully slid my arms underneath him, and carried him to the living room so I can keep an eye on him, and make some breakfast. I whipped up a fruit salad for him while I had a nice tasty omelette. When he came around I had to spoon feed him because of how fatigued, and achey he felt, he could barely move. After that he went back to sleep, I undid the towel from my waist, and slipped on the clothes I had gotten from my closet, a pair of tan cargo shorts, and a navy blue tank.

Nico would occasionally shift, and his new tail, or ears would twitch every now, and then as I sat there with him, I never wanted to leave his side. That's when I heard whimpering coming from him, he was having a nightmare. " Nico, Nico it's alright." I hushed gently caressing his back. " Daddy's here, daddy's going to take good care of his little fox." I whispered assuredly into his ear. That's when I felt my phone vibrate. The caller I.D. said Judy. ' Yeah Carrots, sorry I can't chat. Nico' sick.' I texted, As soon as I sent it, I heard the sound of a car pulling up to my driveway, and there was knocking.

I laid Nico down gently back onto the couch, and went to the door only to be slammed right behind it, " Nick, Nick where are you?" She closed the door, to find me behind it, almost plastered to the wall. " Quit playing around, your son is sick, and we need to get him healthy immediately." She said, as she put a bag of herbs on the counter. " So what are the symptoms?"

" Okay first off." I began, " Your car is in a no parking zone." I pointed out, as she ran to my side to see I was right. She groaned, as she grabbed her keys, and moved her car, then came back. " Second I wasn't playing around I was about to open the door when you slammed it onto me imprinting me into the wall." I said jabbing a thumb at the Nick shaped depression in the wall, which she gave enough to pay for the repairs making her groan again. " Third upset stomach, aching muscle pains, and fatigue." After I finished telling her she went through the bag of herbs she brought with her.

" Let's see for the stomach some peppermint, for the aching muscles valerian, and for fatigue licorice root." She said, whipping out the herbs, and brewed them into a tea. " Just give him that, and he'll be up, and running by morning at best, provided he rests afterward just serve it hot with his lunch, and dinner." She told me making another cup for later.

" Thanks Carrots." I said, making some soup, along with the tea, and a fruit salad. " By the way how did you know which herbs to use?"

" Anytime Nick," She said, " and I have lived on a carrot farm, don't you think I should have knowledge of herbs for remedial purposes."

" Your right, also known you do realize you were speeding here looks you gotta give yourself a ticket." I reminded her making her groan as she walked out the door, and drove home.

While I went to serve Nico his lunch I knew I should have told Judy about Nico's tail, and ears but I decided to wait, until Nico had fully recovered. " Hey kiddo, Judy came by to help you recover." I said, holding up the mug of tea. " She made you this, for you, you'll need to take it with your lunch, and dinner." I said as I spoon fed him his lunch, and helped him get the tea down. After that I just sat with him while he rested, finally dinner rolled around, and I helped him down some more soup, along with tea, and left him on the sofa while I went back to my room to change the sheets, and stripped down to my boxers put the sheets, comforter, and Pillow cases in the dirty clothes hamper, replaced them, then went into the living room, gathered my sleeping son into my arms, and laid him down with me, as I held him close, and wrapped my tail tightly around him. " Good night kiddo, I hope you'll feel better in the morning." I said, as I massaged his back, I was about to fall when he finally spoke.

" Good Night Dad." as I hugged him close to my heart, and the two of us fell asleep.

END

So once again I am considering doing a Balto fanfic, Sly Cooper fanfic, Skylander Fanfic, and a Star Fox fanfic so if you're big fans of them, or know someone who is feel free to check them out as well, and if any of you fans has a deviantart account or knows someone who does I would really love an image or 0f Nick, with Nico which I'll be more then happy to use as a cover once I figure out how to do it. Also I figured that if motivated Judy can do almost anything in under a minute, such as booting a baby stroller, or driving to Nick's house after getting a text saying that a child is sick, also I figured growing up on a carrot farm, might make her herb savvy, and have knowledge of which herbs are good for what ailments. So anyway if you liked liked it write those reveiws the send them like a BOSS! Also remember Constructive Criticism, and High Fives all around ✋,✋ thank you guys love your faces, and I'll see all you Dudes, and Dudettes IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
