A/N so now that we know that neither parent can be trusted with their daughter, let's explore our other options.

Again the OC Oshyn belongs to dream1990 and I shall be introducing another in this chapter as the babysitter.

So without further ado, Let the chaos ensue.

Those from the past.

Judy jolts at the all too familiar voice and turns slowly. The first thing she notices is the sly smirk, the next is the small basket filled with strawberries and blueberries. standing next to him is Gideon with his own daughter nestled in his arms. She sees the other kids on the ground and begins to wriggle in his arms. Gideon, not wanting his daughter to hurt herself sets her on the ground where she toddles over to the other kids on the ground and promptly face plants, only to laugh it off.

The two foxes and Hopps family can only watch as she tries to hog all the strawberries for herself. Judy gives the fox cub her own in a smaller bowl and gives the bigger bowl to the other kids, and goes to join the other adults. "Hey Gideon, how are you and the wife doing?"

"We're doing fine Judy, Lauren is just gitten more mobile and harder to keep up wit' now." As if to prove his point Lauren runs around the stand and the 3 year old all but plows into her father and laughs at the juices that strain her father's clothes and apron. Afterwards she goes back to the blankets to play and steal more berries. Gideon gives a small smile and apology before collecting his daughter just as she stuffs more berries into the pockets of her denim dress. Nick barks out a laugh and moves to clean up the back, when Judy sees them.

Approaching the produce stand are three hares that made going to school a hassle for her after she claimed she was going to be a Police officer. They all stand a head taller than her with their ears hanging back, not because they are sad, but just as a statement, and to get sympathy. Knowing them, the three will just make her regret her choices, and make it seem like her life is wrong. Hanna, Haley and Harriet finally saunter up to the stand and immediately seem to zone in on Nick with Mai and her cousins. "So the rumors are true, you really did adopt a tiger." Harriet all but sneers, and the other two follow suit.

"Yeah, so what if I did?"

Haley laughs "Hahahaha, did it ever occur to you to stop and think about how other mammals will view you? First you marry a fox that probably only married you for the influence you have, now you adopt a tiger that could kill you in you sleep." The other two laugh at the prospect of it all, and Judy's fist tightens underneath the table. "If you have a problem with me fine, but leave my family out of it."

"Why, your family's the problem. After all you could have settled down with a nice rabbit, but instead you had to do it with your natural predator." Hanna counters back, and before Judy can say anything Nick comes forward with a clean Mei situated on his hip. "Well at least Carrots here can say she married for love, unlike you three who can only do what hares do best. Now, if you would please move, Judy and I need to get this little one back home seeing how she missed her afternoon nap with all of the excitement." And with that, Nick all but pushes his way past the three hares and makes his way towards Judy's car. As they walk Judy notices the lack of the second vehicle, and brings up that fact as Nick starts to buckle Mei into her seat. "Why Carrots, don't you know I would walk five hundred miles for you?" Judy just raises an eyebrow at that. "Fine, Ben gave me a ride here."

Judy gives a small smile and hops into the driver side, while Nick easily slipping into the passenger side. the couple opt to saying nothing as they take the few hour drive back to the city in silence. When they reach the Canyonlands Judy stops when Nick points out a teenage wolf with silvery white fur. She has on a brown pleated skirt with a white collared shirt. Grey fingerless gloves and knitted scarf completes her look.

Nick jumps out of the vehicle before Judy fully stops, and approaches the wolf. Nick lightly places a hand on her shoulder as he says something, and before either can blink, she throws him over her shoulder. Judy goes to unbuckle herself when she notices the wolf freaking out and trying to help Nick back up. The two predators talk for a bit, well the wolf frantically talks while Nick tries to catch his breath. After he gets his second wind Nick leads the teen to the truck.

Judy sits back as the wolf gets in the backseat and Nick settles into the passenger side. Once both are situated Nick begins the introductions.

"Judy, this is Emmalyn, and before you ask, I worked with her before now." Right away, Judy knows he is talking about his days of being a con artist, and leaves it at that.

"So Emmalyn, can you tell me where you live so we can give you a ride." Emmalyn nods and gives an address. The car is silent once again, until the teen realizes there is a cub in a car seat right next to her. To say the least she screams. "OMG! She's so cute! It is a she right? Oh who am I kidding, of course they're a she!" And with that the teen hugs Mei close, which causes the cub to giggle and squeal. Judy brings her ears down and flinches at the raised voices, and Nick can't help but feel guilty for bringing Emmalyn into the vehicle. After that Emmalyn continues talking to Mei until Judy pulls up to an apartment complex on the outskirts of town.

The apartment is large like the one Judy lived in before when she just moved to Zootopia. There are a multitude of animals roaming around, and for every sheep they see a few stares or glares follow. At the sight of an elderly goat Emmalyn all but jumps out of the vehicle and goes to greet them. Nick and Judy follow shortly after with Nick grabbing Mei and gets her settled in his arms. At the sight of the strange family approaching them the couple turn to greet them appropriately.

"Good Afternoon Office Wilde, Officer Hopps, What can we do for you today?" At the titles they used Emmalyn only stares at the rabbit and fox with apprehension. "You guys are cops?" At a simple nod, the wolf bolts into the apartments and all but slams the door, before peeking out the window set in the door. The female goat sighs and turns to the officers. "I'm so sorry about Emma, I just can not seem to get her to get over her weariness of officers." She looks back towards the door where Emma glares back.

"I'm sorry, would you like to come in for some tea? After all you did drive Emma back." Asks the elderly goat. The couple nods, and Nick hefts Mei up to get her into a more comfortable position. Once Emmalyn sees the group make their way towards the door she makes a dash for the elevator, and pounds the up button. Once she gets in, she is about to push the floor she lives on when a stern voice calls out. "EMMA! That is enough! If you do not hold that door opened I will make sure you take the stairs from now on." At the threat Emma just manages to stop the closing doors. Than the five ride the elevator up to the seventh floor, with Mei reaching out to the wolf, but ultimately getting ignored.

Once the doors open on their floor Emmalyn tries to make a mad dash towards their apartment, but after the elderly goat clears her throat she stops. The group reaches the apartment and Emma opens the door and they all slip in. Immediately Judy notices that it's a lot bigger and nicer than her old one. For while her old place of residence could only fit a bed small desk and a table. This apartment is complete with a living room kitchen combo. The couch is a pullout still set up as a bed. A coffee table is pushed against the far wall, and a TV is set up across from the couch. The kitchen -from what Judy can see- has a fridge, microwave, stove, and sink. Separating the two areas is a small counter-like island. To say the least, Judy is jealous.

Emma folds the bed back into the couch and helps the goat to sit down. before heading to the kitchen to set the kettle on the stove, and promptly sits on the floor afterwards. Nick sets Mei down as well and the young tiger goes straight towards Emmalyn's tail. seeing this Nick snickers and says, "I would be careful if I were you, Mei's got some sticky fingers on her." Emma gets the warning to late as Mei falls on the wolf's tail, hugging it close, and all but curling up with it. Emma tries to get away from the young tiger, but only manages in dragging the cub along. With nothing else to do, she just sits still.

The adults sitting on the couch smile at the interaction, no matter how short. Before anyone can say a word, Emma speaks up. "So how am I supposed to get the kettle once it starts whistling?" The answer is immediate, "Don't worry, I'll get it."

"OK Nanny." And she sits back.

Nick looks to the goat. "Nanny?"

Nanny nods, "Yes. I would like to think that my parents were trying to be humorous." She finishes with a slight chuckle.

After a bit more talking, the kettle goes off, and Nanny goes to get it. Now with all them situated with a cup nestled in their hands Emma asks the one thing on her mind. "So when did you become one with the law Nick?"

The answer is simple. "It was after the Night Howler event." Nanny flinches, while Emma avoids eye contact. The room is silent save for the gentle snore coming from the napping cub. The conversations carry on after awhile, and Nick looks towards Emma. She hasn't moved an inch since Mei claimed her tail as a pillow, and seems content with just listening. Feeling the eyes of another on her, she looks up. "What do you need? I'm a little occupied at the moment." she points out as she gestures to Mei.

"I know, I just need to ask you something." Nick says, and Judy and Nanny look towards him.

"OK, Shot."

"How would you like to babysit for us?"

"What?"

"Did you space out or something? I asked if you want to get paid to watch over Mei during the day."

Judy nearly spits out her tea when she hears how Nick rephrased that. Mei stirs a bit before settling back down. Emmalyn looks looks at Nick in shock before she looks at the little one year old who has just snuggled in further into the wolf's tail.

"I'll do it." Emma says, but before anyone can say something she continues, "But on one condition."

Nick and Judy look at each other, wondering what she could want. Nanny meanwhile glares at Emma for asking for anything more than what she has. After a moment of silence Judy speaks up. "OK Emma, what do you want?"

"I want you to fix the prejudice against sheep and goats. As long as you try, I'll do it."

Nick holds out a hand, "You got it." the two shake hands and Emmalyn asks, "When do I start?"

Judy answers this time, "If you can wake up early tomorrow, we can just drop her off here, or one of us could pick you up and bring you to our house." After a moment of hesitation she comes to a conclusion. "I think it would be better if I went to your house to watch her. Because as much as I want to be here to help Nanny, You will have all the items necessary to take care of her."

All three adults nod in agreement, and Judy says "OK, one of us will pick you up tomorrow morning at four. If you are still tired, you can rest on the couch."

Emma smiles, happy to help, and hoping to change the views of other mammals.

A/N so I included another OC that was submitted by D C JoKeR H S. also, the thing with using the . next chapter will skip a few years when Mei will first start kindergarten.
