Chapter 30
A/N: Hello all! Back at it again with another chapter! In this chapter, we pick up from when Nick and Judy were at their peaceful slumber on the sofa. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Also, there is some important information down below at the end of the chapter so please check it out when you've reached the end!
Nick snorted awake suddenly and yawned lowly. He had a wonderful sleep with the most wonderful bunny in the world. Judy, who was still snoring away beside him, arms curled around his are warm chest. She snuggled into it, her ears slightly twitching in time to Nick's soft and warm heartbeat. Nick chuckled softly and stroked her sleepy fuzzy head. Nick thought he did a good job earlier on healing his bunny's pain with his wondrous, magical paws.
He watched her snoozing face for some more until he spotted a small drop of saliva roll out of her mouth and down to her chin where it stopped and hung. The fox then focused his attention on it, not before long he slowly brought his head down to her chin and licked it up. He sighed satisfied and giggled as he let his paws slide down her body to her waist as he turned his muzzle to a clock on the microwave. It was seven thirty and Nick decided it was time to make some tea, keeping his promise of the sunset.
Nick looked over to a table clock and took a glance at the clock. "Seven thirty… well, two hours sleep is decent I suppose..." he said to himself quietly.
Judy's beautiful eyes opened slowly and gazed upon a big strong fox laying next to her, hips in paws. She slowly brought her head up to Nick's ear and whispered into the flickering lug hole, flickering wildly from a strange warm and tingly breath touching down on it.
"What are you doing up, sweetie?" asked Judy with a giggle. "I thought you wanted to be in my dreams from beginning to end." she added. She knew Nick couldn't resist but have a little tease every so often.
"Oh, well I guess you were too beautiful and amazing to handle." Nick chuckled and let his paws go up to her belly and gave her a soft caressing motion on it. "This little guy must also think so. He has a beautiful mother, and a handsome daddy." he finished and crawled off the sofa,kneeled at her legs and kissed her tummy.
'It's going to be a very beautiful sight when our baby starts to poke out of that perfect, firm belly of hers…' he thought to himself and continued to caress her belly, until a loud rumbling growl emitted from the residence of the growing cub.
"Oh my," giggled Judy surprised. "Look like me and the baby might be getting hungry." She held Nick's paws tightly and stared at his handsome muzzle and mesmerising green eyes.
"How about some of my special Spag-Bol, dashed with extra love on the side? It's nutritious and beneficial for beautiful bunnies and babies, especially you two." he said with a grin and sly face he pulled.
Judy giggled and lifted her dainty flexible body so she was sitting upright and cupped her paws around the fox's bristly cheeks. "That sounds delightful, Nicky… I always look forward to your cooking. It is a total transformation to my cooking."
"Because you used to zap stuff in a heat box." he slyly chuckled, pointing to a lone microwave. "Aren't you a lucky bunny to have me?"
"Yes. And I'm more than happy when I have you, my job and this little one.
He chuckled and kissed her small cute pink nose and got up to his feet. "Two plates coming right up, with carrot juice dear? Freshly squeezed from me."
Judy got up to her own feet and leaned up to his muzzle and kissed his lips softly. "Impress your baby bunny." she giggled. She felt she could move around freely now with her feet treated and massaged. Heck, she feels like she could do a ten mile run.
"Oh, I'll do more than impress you tonight, my sweet angel." he replied grinning some more. "Just let me get some fresh clothes on and out of this tight uniform and I'll be back before you know it." He then headed to the bedroom to get some casual clothes on.
Soon, he appeared in a black short sleeved shirt and denim jeans. He looked like someone from a hard punk rock band and he proudly strutted out. "Well, this still fits surprisingly." he said, holding the rim of his shirt with a paw.
Just scanned the absolute handsomeness in her partner and took it all in. She then slipped her eyes to the ,idle of his shirt. It read 'Hustler' in big bold letters."You look gorgeous, Nick! But there is one small problem with the shirt…" she added with narrow eyes.
The red fox looked up at the observant bunny and enquired her complaint. "What seems to be the problem, whiskers? Is it too dark? Too tacky?"
Judy shook her head and giggled. "It seems to be missing a message on it. It should read 'Hustler of mammals love'."
Nick smiled and went up to her and gave her a gentle noogie on the cranium. "You should get a shirt with an arrow saying 'This sly fox hustled my love'."
Judy giggled and push him away gently and swatted his small muzzle playfully. "Maybe… maybe I should." she smiled. "I'm going to get changed too. I'll be back in a minute, babe." he said, planting a cheek on his cheek and wandered into the bedroom where Nick was.
Nick then decided to get the dinner started whilst she was getting changed. He searched through the cupboards for his necessary ingredients for his special dinner. He diced up some mince and sung a tune with an amazing and soothing voice.
"Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine
My darling dear
Love you all the time
I'm just a fool
A fool in love with you
Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Love you forever and ever more
I'm just a fool
A fool in love with you"
He was too busy expressing his feelings over preparing that he didn't notice Judy open the door with a beautiful black skirt and white button shirt. She looked like a smart and lovely secretary and by golly, did it suit her. Her ears perked up to hear a singing voice leak through to her lugholes, making them flop in love. She stood still as a statue, not making any noise at all. Her soft breathing not making him turn whilst he started to boil some raw spaghetti.
"I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love-loveliness
I hoped and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your hap-happiness
Earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear
Love you all the time
I'm just a fool
A fool in love with you"
She suddenly ran up to him and subtly pounced on top of him which caused Nick to shout a loud yip of surprise and looked behind him to see a bunny resting her chin on his shoulder, arms wrapped around his torso.
"N- Nicky! Your voice! H- how do you have such a beautiful singing voice? I could hear it all the time!" she exclaimed happily, squeezing his torso passionately. "And that song is one of my favourites! I can always associate it with you too!"
Nick chuckled and nuzzled her head softly as he continued to prepare his dinner for the two. "You will be even luckier soon after dinner. Maybe, just maybe, that voice will come back." he stated with a wink, giving her a warm smile.
Judy squealed quietly and turned him around to give him a top to bottom view of her in the clothes she specially chose for the occasion. "Well Nick, what do you think?" she asked with a blush, giggle and did a little pose.
Nick's eyes widened as he let his eyeballs move from the bottom to the top slowly, his view looking like a cinematic scene that shows a mammal's first look at the love of his life. "Judy, I don't think about you. I know everything about you. You are stunning, adorable and a cute bunny overall." he said with a smile, holding her small curvy waist bringing her closer to him and pressed his nose against her own as the spaghetti started to bubble softly as it began to cook.
Judy smiled and held his paws. "You really know how to please your bunny, don't you?"
Nick couldn't deny with that. He knew that was true, along with Judy. "Yep. And you know how to please your fox." His eyes drifted down to her small tummy and his eyes widened. "Uhh, whiskers?"
Judy smiled and tightened her grip on his paws and rubbed her thumbs on his metacarpal pads. "What's up, dear?"
Nick brought her closer to the stove next to him, wanting her to listen carefully. "What's going to happen to you and your career? Aren't you going to miss it?"
Judy hopped onto the ledge of the work surface and her feet dangled. "Of course I will. I will miss all the action and whatnot. I mean, it's my life and everything. But I now have a boyfriend and a little baby to take care of. I will go to work until my maternity leave but I'll explain to Bogo and hopefully he can stick me on office work. And hopefully, you will sit next to me. Does that sound like a plan?"
Nick chuckled and held her paw as he started to cook the bolognaise. "That sounds more like a plan, carrots. It sounds like a date." He then kissed her paw and searched in the draws for a red and white chequered table cloth, unfolded it and spread it over the pine wood dining table. Next, he grabbed a candle with a holder and struck a match. With the candle lit, he extinguished the flame and set down the other bits and pieces as the spaghetti and sauce sizzled, bubbled and boiled.
Soon after a few painful hungry minutes, everything was set. The lights across the apartment were dimmed with a soft candlelight burning brightly in the middle of the table. Two plates on either side steamed with a delicious aroma in the air, accompanying the fox and bunny who held paws whilst sipping carrot juice.
"Enjoy, darling." chimed in Nick with a smile. "Hope you like it." He then picked his fork and twirled his fork into some spaghetti and took a mouthful.
Judy followed suite and moaned in pleasure as the pasta hit her taste buds and exploded with flavour and passionate love."Ohh, baby… this is awesome."
Nick smiled and blushed. "Aw, Judes. Stop it, you're making me heat up and blush!" he giggled.
Judy smiled and took another bite. "Well, there is work tomorrow so how about we explain the situation to the chief if you'd like?" she asked.
"Yep, that sounds great." he replied holding her paw and rubbing it. "You really are full of great ideas, darling." he said with a smile.
After twenty minutes, they emptied their plates and glasses. They moaned in satisfaction, feeling nice and stuffed. Judy was the happiest bunny of all after that filling meal that her darling boyfriend conjured up. Sh lifted her head up and looked up at her partner, watching him rubbing his stomach.
"I'm surprised I can fit that much food into me, especially with the little one inside of me..." she joked with a giggle.
Nick chuckled back and sat upright in his chair. "Me too, I'm very impressed though. An impressed fox is a happy fox, as well as a full one."
Judy smiled as she watched Nick slowly get up, took out his phone and scrolled down to the same song he was humming to earlier. He then plugged his phone into a speaker and started to play a slow moving song that fitted with the atmosphere just oh so perfectly. Nick held a paw to her invitingly. "Do you want to dance, my love?"
Judy's eyes widened and smiled as she gave him a nod and took his paw. She then slowly stood up and began to follow Nick's slow moves across the dining part of the apartment. Soon, he began to sing softly into her drooped ears as the vocal part emerged.
Earth Angel,
Will you be mine?
My darling dear,
Love you all the time.
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love with you.
Earth Angel,
Earth Angel,
The one I adore,
Love you forever
And evermore.
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love with you.
She felt like she could melt away and forever stick to him as his soothing voice made her ear twitch and her heart beat fast. She closed her eyes and rested her chin on his shoulder as she held his paws tightly as their footsteps matched in time with the music.
I fell for you
And I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness.
I hope and I pray
That someday
I'll be the vision of your happiness.
Oh, Earth Angel,
Earth Angel,
Please be mine?
My darling dear,
Love you all the time.
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love with you.
I fell for you
And I knew
The vision of your loveliness.
I hope and pray
That someday
That I'll be the vision of your happiness.
Nick kissed his bunny's forehead and rubbed her back softly and affectionately. He continued to sing in his perfect tone and looked deeply into Judy's eyes as he continued to capture her heart, even if that is possible to capture it anymore.
Oh, Earth Angel,
Earth Angel,
Please be mine?
My darling dear,
Love you all the time.
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love with you
The room became silent as the song came to a close and he just simply stared into Judy's twinkling eyes. She could cry in happiness and never regret it. But he knew that she was a strong bunny. He simply kissed her lips softly but for a lengthy time. Slowly he pulled away and smiled.
"Oh, Judy… this, I will never forget. Ever." he declared. "Our first proper dance, and best of all, in my apartment." he finished with a chuckle.
"Nick… this is one of my finest moments too." she whispered with a smile. "Our baby was here for our first dance too."
"Judy," began Nick with a grin. "How much do you love me?"
Judy took a moment to think. "More than the universe itself?"
Nick shook his head and chuckled. "More than that."
Judy thought harder and thoughtfully. "Existence? Life?"
"Way more than that..." he giggled.
"Uhh… more than blueberries?"
"I love you more than the heavens above..."
Judy smiled and nuzzled his cheek softly. "Well, I had lots of enjoyment tonight, Nick. But we have an early day ahead of us, so let's get some sleep, huh?"
Nick obliged and picked her up gently in a bridal carry. "Of course sweetie. Let me show you to the bedroom. Nick suddenly stopped as he was jiggling the dooknob and looked at his happy bunny. "Judes?"
"Yes?"
"Before we crash out, I have to ask you something really important. For us."
