Hey Fanfictionistas,

I'm sorry for the lack of chapter's recently so here come the excuses.

Excuse 1: I've had to change my computer and setup everything on there with took a few days.

Excuse 2: I haven't been finding time to write and I wasn't enjoying writing fanfiction for a while.

Final Excuse: I improvise all of my chapters, I don't plan anything or have any chapters backed up. However, I've learned from my mistakes and are now starting to back up chapters.

Hope you don't hate me too much and expect more chapters coming out ;)

Thank you to everyone who leaves reviews and I improve based upon those reviews so keep leaving them.

Chapter 7. ;)

"Okay Nick," Judy said looking the fox deeply into his eyes. "You need to find a safe-house right?"

"Yeah, and fast". Nick replied, all his attention focused on helping the recovering rabbit.

"Okay then, just up here". Judy relieved the red fox.

Nick finally looked up at where he was and saw Judy's apartment door right infront of him. "You said this was a safe-house". Nick stated.

"Yeah, safe house, with a space in the middle, a house that is safe".

"Sly bunny". Nick smirked. "Look, I'm gonna go get some water, I'll be back in a minute".

Judy rolled her eyes, however she noticed that the door was unlocked. "Hmmm...". She opened the door anyway as she might not have locked it when she left.

"MOM!". Judy looked around to see over 50 members of the Hopps family.

"Judy! Oh thank goodness you're ok, you were supposed to call everyday and we got worried and in the city there's all sort's of un-savoury anim-a-l-s...". Shocked at the sight of Nick walking into the room, she instinctively pulled her daughter away from the fox and towards her.

"Well look who brought some breakf-a-s-t...". Stu walked in, interrupted by Nick's towering stature. He slowly staggered over to Judy and said. "Uhh.. Judy there's a fox in your house".

"There is indeed". Nick replied.

"Dad, he's with me it's okay". Judy commended.

"You brought a fox to your home?". Stu questioned Judy.

"He's more than a fox, dad". She responded.

"Sweet cheese and crackers he's your boyfriend!".

"Er' ya know what, this has been great, I was actually just leaving". Nick stepped in.

"No wait". Judy said, trying to prevent him from exiting the apartment.

"I'ts fine". Nick reassured Judy

"Honey if the fox wants to leave". Stu stuttered.

"No look he is not, the fox, his name is Nick and he helping me solve a big case and he is my friend and if anyone is uncomfortable being in the same room as him, there's the door".

Stu and Bonnie looked at each other, as this could be just a friendship, or maybe more.

"Anyway, did anything happen today, a- are you okay?".

"Yes I'm fine, nothing bad happened". Judy reassured the family.

One of Judy's younger brothers changed the channel onto the news channel. "And in other news, a case involving, Lt. Judy Hopps and, Officer Nick Wilde turned bad, after Officer Hopps was shot at the scene.".

"What!". Bonnie shrieked as she looked directly at Judy. "Are you in any pain?".

"No I'm fine, it was just a graze". Judy exclaimed.

Stu looked his daughter in disbelief. "Judy you- you lied to us?".

"No I- I-".

"Alright thats it, you need to come home with us right now, pack it up let's go". Stu concerningly stated.

"Dad, please if I-".

"No, I was worried about what might happen to you and now you've been shot and, other things". He said looking directly at the fox.

Nick gulped, at the stare that Stu gave him. "So she lied about being shot, Carrots if you don't mind".

Judy nodded at the fox and removed the bandage from underneath her sleeve, revealing the burn. The sight of it shocked everyone in the room.

"Look at that". Nick commented. "Who wouldn't lie about that, Ok, here's the thing when I first saw Officer toot toot here I thought, she's gonna get stepped on but you know what she said. Bunny's from the burrows do not get stepped on, they step up, and she has. So dad, can I call you dad, we only have a few more chances to solve this big case and ya- ya make her go back to carrotville now, gosh, we'll never know if Officer Hopps, can be a real 'good cop', will we. look all I'm saying is just, give her a chance".

Judy smiled at Nick knowing that he'll always be there for her.

"Well I guess we could give her some more time". Stu and Bon agreed.

"There you go, going home, make another baby". Nick joked.

N- now you two be careful, there is still that illegal hustler on the loose". Stu warned the two, not knowing it was Nick.

"Uhh... you could say the cops got him". Judy said trying to push Nick out of the picture as a suspect. "Bye, drive safe".

"Honey, just to clarify, he's not your boyfriend is he?".

"Out!". Judy slammed the door shut.

"I think that went well". Nick said smirking at Judy.

"I don't even know if you planned for all that but if you did". the rabbit commended.

"What?". Nick responded.

"You didn't plan for this". Judy said right before she wrapped her arms around Nick's chest and firmly pressed her snout onto his, while the fox accepted what was happening he placed one paw on her back and one behind her neck. This continued until Stu opened the door to see if Judy was safe.

"Judy?". Stu asked, mind blown at what was happening.

Nick opened his left eye only to see a suprised face staring him in his open eye. "Ahh!". Nick screamed lifting his left paw to cover both their snouts up. "Carrots, is he gone?". He asked Judy.

"No, absolutley not no, not one percent gone, he's right there". Judy replied

"Carrots, mind if I hide behind you?". Nick asked.

"Uh huh". Judy responded.

Stu looked at the two together, confused at what was happening but said. "Okay then I think we'll be leaving now, Bonnie, after you".

Judy shut the apartment door without even breaking away from Nick's gaze and looked deeper into his emerald eyes.

"I never got to ask how you got such a nice place Carrots?". Nick asked.

"Yeah I don't think you did, anyway the ZPD wanted to thank me for saving Zootopia from Bellweather, so they gave me this apartment as a reward. Same neighbours though". Judy giggled

"Too bad I didn't get anything huh...".

"But you did get this". Judy said wrapping her arms around the fox once again, but this time Nick was ahead of Judy. He held the rabbit in his paws and pressed his snout onto her's. Eventually they parted snouts and smiled at each other. you could tell they enjoyed that moment. all 17 seconds of it.
