My ear flicked gently as the reverberating sounds of light jazz music seeped into the place I was currently resting at which made me stir uncomfortably all while the delectable smell of fish soup wafted into my nose making my heavy eyelids pop open.

I blinked several times in complete shock and thought I was dreaming at first.

I was in my parent's house by the looks of it and in my room while everything looked like it was exactly as it should be.

Moms jazz music played loudly from downstairs as she made lunch. The whole thing was mind boggling and made my head spin.

"KNOCK, KNOCK!"

Marian my kit sister's voice rang out softly as she let herself into my room and nearly dropped the bowl of very tasty smelling soup that now made my stomach gurgle loudly.

"Co-me i-n."

I tried to say come in but a dry mouth prevented me from sounding out the words as they came out all choppy and wrong.

Coughing heavily she quickly set her bowl down and removed the oxygen mask from my face then pawed over a glass of water to me.

The cool refreshingly taste of water seeped into my dry mouth making me hack up a bit. She pat my back gently while talking in a low caring tone, "easy there big guy, can't have you drowning now can we."

I gave her a smirking glare as I caught my breath and chuckled softly, "it's good to see you to Mare."

As I said her nickname I gave her when we were kits she gave me a glare showing me her dislike of that name.

"You know how much I hate that name. You jerk off."

"Tut, tut little sister. What did mom tell you about your language. Speaking of mom how did I get here?" I asked while chiding her for her language, 'god it's been awhile since I got to do that'.

"Oh Judy helped me bring you here but I'll let you ask her when you call her. I think she's at work right now though."

"Well that explains how I got here. Hey Mare can you go get mom? I need to talk to her."

She glared at me again as I chuckled, "yes, yes I love you too sis, now go get mom."

She let a deep sigh escape her while leaving to go get mom, "love you too bro, now stop calling me MARE!"

She yelled that last part and I heard laughter from downstairs just as mom yelled upstairs, "Nicky's awake! Just a minute sweetie."

"Yeah the idiots awake and he wants to talk to you. I'm going to go take a nap."

She hollered down the stairs while leaving the room.

"Ok Marian, I'll be up soon. I'm just finishing up the dishes."

I heard my mother say as my sister walked down the hall to her room and closed the door loudly.

After waiting a few minutes I heard someone making their way up the steps only to stop in front of my door and hesitate before giving it a light knock.

"Nicky. May I come in?"

My mom spoke with a sense of purpose while on the other side of the door making me sigh in defeat at the coming storm.

"I'm decent as far as I know. I haven't had a chance to look yet,"

I heard her chuckle briefly as she entered the room while talking, "nothing I haven't seen before although maybe I should call your little bunny friend to help take care of the morning tent?"

growling out a warning at my invasive mother made her laugh loudly.

Trying to sit up only to fail my mom shook her head at me, "stay down dear. Your ribs are broken so you're going to be stuck here for a couple of weeks." I sighed and proceeded to tell her off.

"You keep your claws away from Judy or so help me-, Ugh."

My chest burned badly as I yelled which made me curl up slightly while gripping a pillow to my chest to soften the sharp painful jabs I was feeling.

Her ears pinned back onto her head in a worrisome manner as she spoke, "look Nicky I'm not here to argue like last time. We've changed a lot since then. I'm even home every night now."

I scoffed at her while asking the all important question.

"How much of our little happy family have you told the cop about?"

Downplaying my feelings for my little fluffy savior so I could keep her safe by keeping her far from my evil family.

My mother shifted nervously for a moment before quietly answering me.

"We- we introduced ourselves."

I motioned with my paw for her to go on however nothing else came out of her muzzle making me laugh.

"You're a real class act you know that right? Look this is what's going to happen you will comply with Judy's wishes if she wants to come over she can and if she wants to leave at any point she will. I don't want to catch even a sniff of you lot forcing her into anything."

She sighed and shook her head, "Nicky after all she has done for us we'd never even dream of doing anything harmful to her and for you information I quit my job at the hospital and opened up a clinic in the building behind the house so I can be closer to your father and brother. I also offered her a place to stay after I saw her shabby apartment, who knows how bad the inside is judging by it's very old outside. But if you must know she hasn't given us an answer yet."

My blood was boiling after hearing that my mother had asked Judy to come stay here. She probably made her feel bad or even-. I stopped mid thought. "You made her cry!"

My mother backed up a step while stuttering, "sh-she started crying of her own acour-."

"OUT!"

I shouted as best I could then took as deep a breath as I could while I yelled again, "GET OUT NOW!"

Quickly backing away from me my mother scampered out of my room however my little brother snuck in past her legs.

He was barely visible because of my limited mobility but pretended he wasn't staring at me from the floor.

As my door closed I exhaled sighing gently while calling him over to me.

"Hey little bro, sorry you heard all of that it's just like old times huh?"

Robert Jr came next to me while fiddling with his paws and responded in a soft nervous voice, "to much like old times, you should give them a secon- fourth chance?"

I laughed as best I could while resting my head deeply into the comfy pillow.

"Fourth time's the charm huh, have they forced you into anything yet?"

The little fox shook his head no then stopped suddenly while a guilty look took over his little muzzle.

"They are not forcing me into anything. They asked me what I wanted to be and I told them I want to be a police officer like Judy, she's my idol."

My interest was peeked now and I had a few questions for the little guy who hasn't seen me since he was no bigger than my paw.

"Did you get to meet Judy yet?"

The little fox nodded his head vigorously

I enjoyed seeing how Jr had grown up. He was so bouncy and it was like looking at a tiny version of myself all the same patches of fur were in the same spots or close to it. He even wanted to be a police officer which was astounding at his similarities as to what I wanted to be.

"Did mom happen to give you the idea about police officers?"

He shook his head no while glancing at his legs giving it away who it was.

"Father did."

I seethed a little just uttering that much however Jr seemed to be happy and that was definitely a good sign which made me ask the curious kit who was looking my long tail over for similarities as well.

"Mom really does stay home now doesn't she?"

"Yeah she's home pretty much all the time now since she opened the clinic up."

Taking a deep breath Jr seemed to have something on his mind and as he bit his lip I motioned for him to go on, "let's hear it kido."

The flood gate were opened and a barrage of questions assaulted my ears all in one long breath.

"Where did you meet Judy? Are you two a couple? What's it like fighting fires? How long can you hold your breath? Does this hurt?"

"Oww!"

I yelped out as Jr prodded my side while trying to figure out how to answer him only to hear a knock on my door which startled both of us.

"Nicky dear, it's your mother again. May I come in? Please."

I gave Jr a raised eyebrow while he smiled and nodded and in unison we both rang out loudly.

"YES MOMMA!"

Coming into the room my mother held a very broad smile as her eyes fixated on the young kit hiding by my side then shifted her gaze to my own and waved her cell phone back and forth, "we can't get a hold of Judy, could you try please?"

My ears instantly went down in a no nonsense way as my tone stiffened.

"Why are you trying to bug her at work? I think if she wanted to-."

My mother cut me off by tossing her phone at me, "she told us to let her know when you woke up and that's all I wanted to do sweetie. I swear."

I huffed out a sigh while glancing at Jr and pointed at a dresser in the back corner of my room, "my backup phone is in the top drawer, can you please bring it here little bro? I'll tell you how I saved Judy from a fire as well as how she tasted like carrots."

There was no hesitation in the little kits movements as he bolted to the dresser faster than I could see all while my mother made a rather inquisitive remark.

"She tasted like carrots huh?"

I rolled my eye's at her question as Jr gave me the phone, "I gave her CPR mom nothing more at the time."

Marian strolled past my room and chimed in much to my dismay.

"Plus she was naked with you in that hotel room an-."

"SHUT IT!"

I heard Marian laugh as she went down stairs while my mother had a raised eyebrow then glared at me as she took to her motherly tone, "be nice to your sister, she helped you while you were passed out on the floor. Plus she already told me what happened."

I looked at her dumbfounded. "What did she tell you?"

She looked at me in a knowing way, "I'm not saying it in front of Jr, now hurry up and call her."

My mother quickly scooped up her phone and ruffles Jr's fur on his head.

"Ok me, you and Marian are having a nice talk about this later mom,"

before I could start dialing Marian was walking by the door again, "she's using my old phone you jerk."

"Ok Mare thanks for telling me." I chuckled as I heard her scream in frustration over the use of my nickname for her and my mother sighed knowing I was gonna keep teasing my sister no matter what.

I went to dial but looked at all the eyes centered on me which caused me to clear my throat loudly while motioning towards the door.

"A little privacy please."

My mother shooed Jr out of the room who definitely moaned out his displeasure and as she left she happily chimed in while closing the door.

"Have a nice chat with your girlfriend sweetie!"

I quickly yelled back at her, "she's not my girlfriend yet!"

Thinking over what I had just said, one of those words started to swirl around in a tantalizing way on my tongue while consuming my thoughts completely. It made me utter out loudly to no one, "yet."

Shrugging that thought to the back of my mind I keyed up my phone and dialed my sisters old phone and after several rings Judy's voice loudly shouted at me.

"NOT NOW CALL BACK LATER!"

I shouted back at her but didn't get very far.

"CARROTS STOP SHOUTING!"

I don't know how much of what I said made it to her but as I looked at the phone it blinked call ended making me grunt out in frustration as I figured my family had irritated her.

As I set the phone down and prepared to yell for my mother so I could berate her when a text came in from Judy halting my anger induced fury I was about to unleash.

For the few minutes we texted I had calmed down dramatically right up until she ended up saying she would call me as soon as she was somewhere private.

After the short out burst and the fast typing on the phone I closed my eyes and tried to picture what she could be up to.

After all, reading mammals was something I was always good at and I could normally read the straight laced bunny like an open book but then things started to come back to me like. How did she find me at Big's estate and how did she even find my family?

I craved answers and soon found myself wanting my mother next to me.

"Hey mom are you snooping?"

I yelled slightly and sure enough the door opened and my smugly smiling mother ambled up next to me, "what do you need sweetie besides your three broken ribs healed and this ice pack for your chest and this muscle rub for your shoulders that you almost dislocated on both arms."

She tossed a tube on my side and gently placed a rather large ice pack on my chest while putting the back of her paw to my forehead.

"You have a slight fever and you are underweight, do I even want to know what you eat for a proper diet or-."

I stopped my mom as she went full mommy mode which was something she hasn't done to me in over two decades probably.

"Thanks mom," my tone was softer towards her which seemed to calm her down, "can you get me something to eat please? I'm starving."

She nodded while leaving quickly and just in time to. I sent her away not only because I was hungry but so she couldn't eavesdrop on me and Judy as well.

Then suddenly right after the door closed my phone rang out with the ring tone I had set for my sister when we were younger.

"Whoop, Whoop, that's the sound of da police-."

As funny as it was to hear the ringtone it reminded me of how she used to be such a little tattle tale when we were younger however now that I thought about it some more it fits Judy perfectly.

"Hey Carrots, you doing ok?"

As I answered and greeted her we started talking all while a creaking sound emanated from my door.

I nearly dropped the phone as three sets of eyes stared back at me each at different height levels which meant my brother my sister and my mom were doing a very poor job at eavesdropping.

The conversation petered out quickly as I steered it towards seeing her while she filled me in on my unscheduled nap time at the hotel but as we said our goodbyes the little bunny caught me off guard.

"Love you, bu bye."

All three of my family members fell into my room causing a commotion as I responded nervously now while glaring at the interlopers.

"Uh - I love you too Fluff, see you soon."

As I set the phone down on my lap I gave the sheepish trio a nice smirking smile while asking what they were up too.

"My dear sweet family members please enlighten me as to why the heck you are all barging into my room just to listen in on my conversation?"

My mother was the first to pick herself up and act as if she had been pushed over.

"I was bringing you a tuna sandwich since you are starving and when I got to the door these two toppled over me."

At that she set down a nice looking tuna sandwich by my bed and quickly made her escape leaving my eyes to travel onto the next vixen who dusted herself off and came up the lamest lie ever.

"I was simply making sure my phone that you STOLE from me was still working fine, nothing more."

With that she huffed loudly and made her retreat from my room while leaving a little fox kit who showed no embarrassment as his tail wagged slowly.

"She loves you! And you love her!"

He blurted out merrily then hopped up on the edge of the bed and took on a more serious face.

"Now hurry up and marry her so she can help me become a police officer!"

I smacked my forehead with my paw and laughed at him.

"Go on shu shu you silly kit. I only just met the doe that kind of talk is not something for the likes of you."

Being completely ignored Jr went on while saying something that was indeed on my mind and making me slightly worried.

"You have to marry her soon before this partner of hers beats you to it, police partners get very close brother. I watched a ton of shows and in everyone of them the partners almost always end up together so you need to hurry."

Breathing out a sigh as I stared up at the ceiling I forgot who I was talking to and let something fall off my tongue.

"A bunny can't fall in love with a fox, it just doesn't happen."

Talking more to myself than to Jr it didn't even faze the little squirt as he ambled to the door.

"Don't worry brother. I will put a wedge between Judy and this partner so you can make your move on her!"

With that he high tailed it out of my room with an evil grin making me yell after him, "I can't move to even make a move bud."

He was gone and I don't think anything I had to say was going to change the determined little fox kit from anything so I used what strength I had left to snag the sandwich my mother had made and slowly munched on it while mulling that thought out loudly.

"Make a move huh? Yeah why not try everything right?"

As I finished eating and closed my eyes for what felt like a second but must have been longer in reality since when I opened my eyes again my mother was suddenly standing next to the bed and looking at a thermometer.

"Did you have a nice nap?"

She asked pleasantly. My phone was moved and the plate gone from the table.

"How long was I out?"

I grumbled out loudly while completely ignoring her question.

She ignored my question in return and waved the thermometer in front of my muzzle prompting me to comply.

As I put the cold tasteless plastic medical device in my mouth she smiled genuinely at me and willingly gave up the info.

"You were asleep for only an hour, when was the last time you slept?"

My body twitched of its own accord and my paw quickly snagged the phone off the desk then I preceded to send out a text to Finnick letting him know I lived some how and that I was going to lay low for a few days.

"I don't have time to sleep I need to let the chief know tha-."

"Taken care of sweetie, he took care of it."

My mother cut me off with her carefully chosen words while dancing around the fact that my father had called the chief and all was fine at that aspect.

She pulled the thermometer out looked it over then checked my pulse, "you seem to be healthy aside from almost starving while working on no sleep and various other issues that I mentioned, how are ever going to impress Miss Hopps when you're hurting like this?"

Her last few words caught me off guard.

"Wh-what do you mean? I don't need to impress anyone never have never will!"

My mother's smile turned to a stern glare as she stopped fidgeting with my pillows, "even though her partner on the force is another fox?"

An instant reaction came from my crippled body as I lurched into an upright position forcing a painful yelp to escape my lips.

"WHAT! Ho-how do you know what or who her partner is?"

Marian waved from the doorway while heading down stairs.

My mother nodded at my sister in a thanking manner while answering what I already could guess.

"Your sister sent a text to her asking if she had gotten a new partner on the force and she sent a picture in return and in your current position I'm just a bit worried that my sons girlfriend will be taken from him."

I corrected her, "she's only a friend we haven't even talked about any of that. We-."

Stopping myself from giving out more info than was need. I closed my eyes and sighed as deeply as I could while laying back down then winced in pain the whole agonizing way down.

"You can't hide it from me Nick. I have seen the way she looks at you and you taking any interest in anyone means she's the one, so stop beating around the bush."

Nodding at my mother knowing she is right why do moms always have to be right?

"So you have no problems if I were interested in a little bunny over a vixen that could give you grand kits?"

My question made her pause as she seemed to mull that over but responded in a way I didn't expect since growing up it was always her way, mother wants you to dress this way. You dressed that way, father wanted you to take over for him being a firefighter. You did it and she always said that I needed to give her grand kits or she would never approve of any other female however.

"You can love anyone you like Nicky and if you want to go after this young doe I suggest you seal the deal in the bedroom before her partner beats you too it!"

I was flabbergasted at her response. My hard working mother who never took a day off for her own kits for the first twenty years of my life before I up and left in disgust just gave in without batting an eyelash.

"So who is my competition then?"

I gave in at this point since she had accepted the idea of me being with Judy but when she held up her phone to show a selfie of my Carrots practically hugging another red fox who was a skinny looking punk my blood boiled at the sight.

"He's from the Loxley family, their eldest son Robin became an officer by the looks of it.

I had met Robin once at a play date within the fox community back in my teens and from what I remembered he was a big time tail chaser always worming his way into multiple vixens hearts only to pursue the next hottest one he could find.

"Let me guess, Playboy is still single?"

Putting her phone away my mom nodded while putting a new ice pack on me that she had sitting on the far desk.

I bit my lip in frustration. The mammal I had chosen who seemed to care about me and my choices had a chance of being taken from me by another and it enraged me like nothing had in my entire life, it was on the same level as my father. No scratch that it was higher.

I tried to sit up and ignore the pain only to be pushed back down into bed.

"You're not moving from this bed aside from being helped to the bathroom and if you keep this up I'll put in a catheter then you will stay in bed for a straight week! However if you let me take care of you, you might be able to at least walk with crutches in a few days unless you want a wheelchair from the clinic."

I was a little taken back by how helpful my mother was being and if I thought about it was all a first as she never had the time to help me with anything.

Growing up me and my sister always got shipped over to either a friends of the family or I had to babysit Marian at the hospital as mom worked her shift or we had to follow mom around but this was all new.

"You really do stay home now don't you?"

She smiled while leaning down and giving my forehead a kiss, "nine to five three days a week in the side building out back mostly predators but I'm close to home at least. I decided my dream job at the hospital wasn't worth the pain of losing my family after you left. Look nicky I'm sorry. I wasn't there for you when dad forced you to become a firefighter. I'm here now and I want us to be a family again."

Once my mother was done talking I grabbed my phone and checked the time. The glowing screen showed that we still had three hours before Judy would be by according to the text she had sent while I slept that was displayed as viewed.

"Can you wake me up in two and half hours so I have more stamina to talk with Judy when she comes by for her lunch break? Which by the way fish is something she doesn't eat so make something for her special!"

Surprisingly my mother agreed with me, "you're absolutely right. You go to sleep, MARIAN!"

Yelling loudly for my sister my mother quickly left the room while closing the door in the process.

I was kind of curious to know if my mother even knew how to make a meal for a herbivore since her specialty centered around fish or fruits and sometimes a mixed fruit salad with soups and such but all that aside my body still felt tired.

I was sure that my mother had drugged the food with some kind of drug to keep me from moving but didn't think it would be kicking in this fast.

A big yawn escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes for just a second.

…..

…..

…..

Richard was in front of me. I was fully dressed in my firefighters gear. He kicked in the mostly glass door and we entered the building. The place was up in flames while smoke covered nearly all of my vision. I looked for survivors present in the burning duplex.

I headed towards the kitchen area while Richard headed towards the rooms in the back.

As I surveyed the area in the living room a gray form of a mammal under a table in the kitchen caught my attention so I quickly put the fire out in the doorway and made my way over to downed mammal.

An adorable cute bunny with a melting orange vest was unconscious under the table and after I removed the burning jacket and looked at her face a name came to mind.

"Judy?"

The name escaped my mouth as I quickly picked up her limp body and ran her outside away from the burning place to get her some fresh air.

I made it across the street and gently placed her warm body on the ground while removing her kevlar vest then started doing CPR.

"Come on Judy stay with me!"

I pushed fresh air into her open mouth from my mouth and gave her small chest a few compressions while alternating back to giving her air again.

Her sweet smelling fur was that of lavender and her mouth tasted enticingly like carrots however after giving her chest a few more compressions and another deep breath of fresh air I got increasingly worried as she didn't come too.

I began to push harder on her small chest and went to give her another breath of air but was held back as a paramedic yelled out. "She's gone let her go!"

I forcibly pulled away from their gripping paws and screamed out her name while pulling her lifeless body to my chest.

"JUDDY!"

…..

….

…

My eyes shot open and I was instantly blinded by a blindingly bright light over head. My heart was racing fast, to fast in fact. The fear of losing someone dear to me caused my body to jerk forward in my bed only to be met with a resilient force. A warm powerful force that embraced me tenderly.

My eyes might have been open but they were completely out of focus and after shutting them and calming down a sweet lavender smell flooded my senses while a lovely voice spoke to me.

"Shh Nick, it's ok. I got you!"

I opened my eyes with clearer vision to see Judy's face inches from my own as she held me softly and before I knew it her lips were pressed to mine in a passionate embrace that pushed me back into my bed as my paws moved to her backside and rubbed gently making her moan into my mouth from the added press of bringing her in deeper.

We pulled apart and I gazed into her wide sparkling beautiful amethyst eyes while saying her name again just to make sure she was real as a tear escaped my heavily guarded persona."

"Judy?"

…..

….

…...

She chuckled slightly while mocking the clearly spooked fox who was clinging to the surprise doe's body as if she would disappear if he released her.

"I heard you the first time Slick, Or is this just another ploy to get me into bed with you?"

The release of the trapped bunny was instant and both fox and bunny looked at each other with unblinking eyes while laughing together.

"Are you ok Carrots?"

Nick's tone had a bit of worry to it as he suffered from a nightmare or something of the ilk she had guessed and gave the sappy fox a reassuring smile, "I'm fine. The real question is, are you ok?"

The fox couldn't move much without hurting and the sudden jolting nightmare had pushed his midsection to new heights of pain.

"I'll live."

Nick coughed after speaking making the bubbly bunny narrow her eyes to stare at him, "you're not fine. Your ears are pinned back and your body is broken. What am I going to do with a broken fox? Toss you out and get a new one?"

The poor vulpine cowered as if the life force in him had been sucked out completely however Judy's paws made their way under his neck and held his limpish head gently while it lay on the pillow. She then leaned into his face and gave him a soft peck on his nose then pulled back after getting his full attention.

"I would never leave my fox no matter how broken he gets, why I'd jump into ice water all over again if I thought it would help.

Nick's paws that had gone to his sides instantly wrapped around the now blushing doe's smaller body and pulled her into bed next to him.

"How long do I get to stay in heaven?"

Judy chuckled while glancing at her little pink watch, "little over half hour wh-."

He didn't let her finish as he pulled her lips to his in a fervent rush to be with his snuggle bunny.

After a few minute they pulled apart while Nick coughed and struggled to gain a full breath of air making the special moment a tad awkward as she was panting slightly and stroking his muzzle.

"I- I'm fine. Just new to this and having broken ribs is not helping my desire to kiss my girlfriend."

This caused the bunny to pull away from the fox abruptly, "wait! What did you call me?"

Nick was a bit embarrassed but repeated himself only this time asked her.

"Well you are a girl and you are my friend so maybe I should ask if you want to be my girlfr- mmm."

Judy leapt at his open mouth faster than he could comprehend as her soft warm tongue darted into the fox's mouth while passionately moaning in pleasure as their embrace intensified.

Her tantalizing taste enticed the fox to want more of her to feel her to smell her to be complete with her.

The bunny's voice was too muffled for the dumbfounded fox to understand as they kissed, "mmmfuf!"

Nick pulled away from the heavily panting doe to allow her some air and to speak.

"I said that it's about time you asked me out."

She sat up and crossed her arms on her tiny bust while chiding sarcastically at the perplexed fox.

"What took you so long? Thought you could keep a bunny waiting forever?"

The todd chuckled as she said that then began to pull her in closer.

"Sorry Fluff. I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Do you mind if I make up for some lost time now?"

As Nick said that the surprised bun yelped out loudly with excitement as he passionately peppered her lips with kisses that moved down to her neck all while moving his paws down her backside to her supple rear end just to fiddled with her fluffy tail that flicked lightly at his touch. Then suddenly they heard a knock on the door startling both of them.

"Busy!"

The door slowly creaked open and Nick's mother gasped loudly while making a joke, "No multiplying with a broken fox who can't get up."

As Vivian finished talking Judy jumped off of the bed while blushing profusely hiding behind her ears.

Before Judy could even defend herself a loud popping noise rang out as well as a blood curdling yell accompanied by the smell of burning fur followed suit.

Judy instantly ran to the door and looked down the hallway only to see a spectacular sight.

Robin who was feeling a bit put out coming over to the Wilde's house in the first place was now chasing his tail as a long string was noosed around the base of his tail while firecrackers that were tied into the string belted off one after another.

Marian shouted loudly at Robin while pushing him to the ground and leaping on top of him to cut the string off setting him free.

"Calm it down you dumb fox!"

As she spoke a blush came over her as her body lay across his pinning him to the ground and for a moment their eyes met and neither blinked.

"MARIAN! What's going on out here?"

Vivian yelled at her flustered daughter who clumsily attempted to get off of Robin who was just as flustered and shaken up by everything happening to him all at once. First he was being attacked in a harmful way and next he was smothered by a young vibrant vixen who saved him while forcibly pinning him to the ground on all fours as her lovely red and black fluffy full tail swished into his face wafting a sweet lilac scent deep into his nose.

"Whoops, sorry."

"Oh, I'm sorry- whoops."

The two finally grabbed each other's paws and helped pull the other up at the same time.

Vivian watched the display with great interest however it would have to wait as a small pair of eyes peeped out at the group in the hallway from his room.

"ROBERT PERCIVAL WILDE JR, GET OUT HERE NOW!"

The kit slowly opened his door not regretting his actions while knowing full well what was in store for him despite his innocent sulking walk of shame towards his mother.

"Yes mother?"

His sullen cracked voice and his low hanging tail were at clear indication he had done wrong.

Vivian pointed at Robin while chiding sternly at the kit, "apologize for assaulting this nice young handsome officer who has entered our home with a dear friend."

Jr glanced back at Robin who raised an eyebrow in anticipation for the coming word known as sorry. What he got instead however took him by surprise.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for not making it clearer to stay away from Judy!"

At that he bolted for Nick's room faster than anyone could follow pulling Judy in and slamming the door with a loud thud.

Robin leaned close to Marian who was inches from the vulpine, "is your house always like this?"

The young vixen shook her head, "only since the bunny came, so anyway I'm Ma-Marian," she nervously got out while her mother pounded on Nick's door.

"You come out of there right now Mr!"

Meanwhile in Nick's room. A bewildered bunny with a confused Nick stared at the kit in a questioning manner.

"So is the house on fire?"

Judy ignored Nick while looking Jr in the eyes, "that wasn't very nice of you to do. You could have hurt my partner."

The little kit looked like he was going to burst into tears as he sniffled out quietly, "d-do you think he will arrest me?"

Laughing loudly Judy hugged the little kit as Nick watched Judy act like a mother would.

"He won't arrest you. I will make sure of that, besides. I think he's more interested in the vixen holding his paws rather tha-."

Robert Jr pulled away with a giant smile plastered on his face then merrily said out loud.

"Mission accomplished, she's all yours brother!"

With that the little fox opened the locked door and quickly shut it just as his mother grabbed him.

A few awkward minutes passed as Nick and Judy listened to Vivian scold the little kit till they seemed to of walked away making Judy ask Nick an important question on her mind, "is he going to be ok?"

"Yep. I will make sure nothing bad happens to him, you don't think your partner will run out on you now, will he?

Catching onto something in Nick's words made Judy slink closer to the bedridden fox and in her best seductive voice she asked about what was really on the fox's mind.

"Are you jealous of him?"

Nothing!

There was no reaction from the fox, not an eye twitch, just nothing. 'Wait not even a muscle twitch, is he asleep with his eyes open?'

Judy thought about it for a moment than decided to try that theory out.

"Nick could you brush my tail for me?"

Nothing again from the fox as his stock smirk remained on his face, however she had an ace up her sleeve and leaned in close to his ear only to give it a long sloppy wet lick while saying in as seductive tone as she could muster.

"I don't wear panties under my body suit!"

A tear rolled out of the fox's eyes as he couldn't hold back from that and it softened his facial expression dramatically as he tried desperately to get after his very appetizing bunny who had revealed some very interesting info to the fox even if he was trying not to crack under her questions.

"So you are jealous?"

She asked catching the already flustered fox off guard making him bark back at her.

"He's your partner and a fox. He will see you every day while saving you from unknown dangers and where will I be?"

Judy hopped up into bed with Nick and slunk her way under the covers while coming up next to his side only to begin rubbing her chin all over his body. The action confused Nick for a moment.

"What are you- uff not so hard there Fluff."

After she had rubbed him from top to bottom she sat back and admired her work while dusting fake dirt from her paws.

"I marked you as my property! Now no bunny will dare try to lay their grubby mitts on my fox and I will never leave what's mine."

KNOCK, KNOCK!

A low knocking on the door made Judy dismount from the bed and open the door.

"I have lunch for you two."

Jr held a tray with two sandwiches along with some carrot sticks in a little dish and a little bowl full of blueberries.

Pawing over the tray to Judy he quickly backed out of the room while chiming merrily, "eat up and do whatever it is adults do behind closed door-."

THUNK!

Judy closed the door much harder than she intended to much to her own surprise while her blushing face turned into a scowl at her fox who laughed and grabbed his tuna sandwich.

"You put him up to this didn't you?"

She grabbed her soy burger and angrily bit into it.

"I would never tell him to do any of this, if anything it's the work of my mother who seems to be more than ok with us, a fox and a bunny being together."

At that she calmed down and they both polished off their food, eating in silence then it suddenly got down to the last blueberry in the bowl and both of their paws touched causing each to retreat reluctantly.

"You go ahead you're hurt."

She said while he spoke at the same time.

"Just take it. I couldn't possibly eat another bite!"

With that he patted his stomach to show its large bulge.

Judy grabbed up the last berry but before she ate it an idea came to mind, "are you sure you don't have any room left?"

Nick shot back at her with his eyes shut, "I'm one hundred percent sure that you can h-mmmm."

Judy had put the berry between her teeth and pushed her mouth onto his open maw and bit down on the blueberry while kissing him making their deep loving smooch a sweet treat that the fox thoroughly enjoyed.

"Hey Judy it's time for us to-!"

Robin had knocked on the door and let himself in then called out to Judy. He didn't notice she was tongue deep into Nick's mouth and his words caused her to gently pull away from the whimpering todd creating a vacuumed pop sound at their separation.

"Oh - uh hey Robin, I was just-."

She was so flustered almost as embarrassed as Robin was however Nick popped up in her stead to cover for her.

"Hey Rob, meet my girlfriend yet?"
