"What You're not going to tell her?" Judy asked after Nick had told her about his mother's invitation to dinner.

Nick sighed deeply. "Look carrots, I don't want to keep this a secret from her. I just feel like it would be best to that's all."

Judy folded her arms and her feet began to thump on the ground, a sign that she was upset not really at Nick, but how this had affected his life and she feels it would be best for his mom to know. "How is not telling your mom going to help her or help anyone?" Judy questioned. "If your mom doesn't even know he's back, he could be after her and she wouldn't know"

"Yes, but what if I tell her and she goes looking for him? My dad had already hurt you, I don't want him hurting my mom, not again."

"Look Nick, all we need to do is as her not to look for him. She'll be safe, and I do think talking to someone else about this will help you to feel better."

Nick gave Judy a tiny smile "Ok carrots, I can't argue with you. I'll tell my mom, but I still hate it, I mean I haven't really seen my mom in a while, I dread giving her such bad news."

Judy placed a calm paw on Nick's arm "I know it's going to be hard for you Nick, but she needs to know."

Nick nodded "I know, anyway we'd best be going"

Judy and Nick arrive at Nick's mom house.

"Oh Nick, Judy please come in" his mom greeted. "It's so good to see you both"

"It's good to see you again mom" Nick said trying his best to keep a calm tone.

"Thank you for inviting me too Mrs Wilde" Judy spoke.

"Oh, please Judy we've be over this, you can call me Sarah." She chuckled. "Dinners on the table, so let's not sit here hungry"

The three went into the dining room and sat down. Nick and Judy were sat at one end of the table, Sarah on the other. On the table were three bowls of tomato soup and several sliced of bread.

"So, tell me how's work being treating you two?" Sarah asked.

"Uh pretty good" Nick replied as he stirred his soup with his spoon but not eating it.

"Ah that's excellent to hear, you know I'm really happy for you Nick ever since you became a cop, mammals have begun to treat predators better. Not everyone sees us foxes as thief's or liars. I even got a promotion at work, and I'm earning more money which has been helpful to pay my bills."

"That's wonderful news Sarah" Judy said. "I'm happy that predators are now been treated better in Zootopia.

Nick began to eat his soup very slowly, he missed his moms homemade cooking. The warm soup and his mom's words about being so happy, almost made him not to say anything about his dad, but he knew it had to be done. Deciding it would be better to do it sooner than later he decided to say it now."

"That is great news mom, I'm really happy for you. I just wish my news could be good for you" he sighed sadly.

Sarah's smile turned into a frown and Judy placed her paw on Nick's lap providing him a bit of comfort. "Go on nick" she whispered in his ear.

"Well uh about a week ago, dad came back to see me, and he's demanding $50,000."

"What? He wants money from you?" Sarah growled, "He treats you rotten and then comes back and wants money? I think I know what he wants it for too."

"You do?" Judy asked

Sarah nodded "Well I have no prove, but it's probably because he owes some guys"

Nick's eyes widened "What you mean like loan sharks?"

Sarah nodded "Yeah I don't want you giving him the money Nick"

Nick nodded "Well he's been doing a lot of things to me. He's been choking me, he trashed my place, and he and his friends also hurt Judy too. It's like he'll stop at nothing to get hold of the money."

"Well just remember Nick you're better then he'll ever be. You're a cop now you have a decent job and home, and where's he out there owing money to a loan shark because he can't be bothered to go look for a job." Sarah told him.

Nick began to feel better with these words. She was right he had a good life and he was proud of it too. He shouldn't let his dad make him feel like he was dirt.

"You know mom I'm glad I'm just sorry I had to deliver such bad news to you"

"Hey, it's not your fault Nick, I'm glad you told me."

"Well if he comes here please give us a call" Judy insisted "Oh and it would be best if you don't go looking for him."

Sarah nodded "Don't worry if there's any trouble I'll let you know"

Nick and Judy got up from the table.

"Thanks for the dinner mom, and thanks for being so supportive. You always know how to make me happy" Nick said as he gave his mom a hug.

"Yes, thank you Sarah." Judy smiled.

"I'm proud of you Nick" Judy said when they got outside.

"Thanks carrots, I'm happy you got me to tell my mom I feel a whole lot better now."

"I'm glad Nick"
