Nick's heart was racing as the two boarded the last train to Zootopia out of the Tri-Burrows. After hearing about Richard they quickly left the spa went back to the hotel and packed their bags, called Judy's parents to let them know they were leaving for Zootopia. After Judy explained to them why they were leaving so soon they understood and said they would pray for Richard.

After boarding the train Nick had a hard time sitting still, he couldn't help it, his grandfather was dying and he wasn't there to help. Judy want to help calm Nick down but she didn't know how to, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to say the wrong thing in this kind of tense situation.

"Nick please sit down, you're gonna end just like Richard if your stress goes any higher than it already is, plus your starting to wear a hole in the floor"

Nick looked down and smirked at her last comment, but he knew she was right he needed to be calm right now. So Nick sat down next to Judy and wrapped his arms around her and gave her a light squeeze.

"I'm sorry Judy, I'm just a little on edge is all" said Nick

"I know Nick I don't expect you to be completely calm, I just don't want you to have a panic attack, or heaven forbid a heart attack" replied Judy giving Nick's paw a squeeze. Nick gave a small smile and hugged Judy up against himself, he knew that she needed him to be level headed.

The rest of the train ride was spent in silence, Judy kept asking Nick if he was fine and his answer was always the same.

'Don't worry, I'm fine'.

But Judy was no fool she could tell Nick was very stressed out and he was very worried about Richard. Judy had never thought about it before but Richard was kinda like a grandfather to her too. He was one of the first to support her and Nick's relationship, he had also helped her and Nick pay for the wedding and because of his support they were able to get married in great style and comfort. He also helped Nick get her back and he helped him and herself whenever they got low and whenever they fought.

But she also knew that he was a fighter and would do his best to recover. She was suddenly jousted from her thoughts by Nick who told her that they were at there stop. They both got off the train and quickly dropped their stuff off with Finnick in his van and then proceed to power walk towards Zootopia Memorial Hospital.

Judy had never Nick walk so fast ever, she could see a burning determination in his eyes, one that she could only match on one of her best days.

They made great time and got to the hospital in 10 minutes flat. Nick made his way up to the reception desk and asked for Richard's room number.

"Room 234, go down that hallway and take the elevator up to the second floor and then go down to your left and he's the third to last door on the right" said the Gazelle in white nurse dress.

Nick nodded and headed towards the elevator, Judy got up from her seat and joined him by his side. They both got into the elevator and pressed the 2nd floor button. The ride was quick, less than 45 seconds, as soon as the elevator's doors opened Nick barged out of them and was near sprinting to the end of the hallway. They reached his room and Nick put his paw on the door handle and pushed down.

They entered the room and the first thing Nick spotted was his Grandfather laying in the bed, he looked pale, and for the first time you could see how old he truly was, all the stress and wear. His breathing was steady and his heart rate monitor was also steady.

The next thing he spotted was his father and mother as well as his brother and sister. Bellwether was also sitting in a chair next to the bed holding Richard's paw and crying softly. Joe looked up and spotted Nick and Judy standing in the doorway.

"Nick..." started Joe but he stopped, there wasn't anything he could say.

Nick didn't hear him anyway he just walked up to the bed and looked at him. Suddenly and without any warning, Nick collapsed onto Richard and the hospital bed and began to sob uncontrollably. Sylvia, Nick's mother, stood up, while Judy went over to Nick and wrapped her arms around him.

Sylvia made her way over to Nick and hugged him as well. She knew that Nick loved his Grandfather almost as much as he loved Judy.

Nick sat there crying his eyes out for more than 30 minutes. His eyes started to ache from all the tears. So he finally got up and sat down in a chair, but he opted not to speak. Judy sat on Nick's lap since she was smaller.

After a while a badger entered the room wearing a white lab coat with his name on it and a PHD following it. He wore slacks and a button down shirt along with a red tie, as well as a pair of glasses in his pocket. The whole room looked up at him.

"Dr. What is it?" asked Joe.

"Well as far as I can tell he has about a 25% chance of making it, and that's if he wakes up" said the Doctor.

"What do you mean 'if he wakes up' " asked Nick.

The Doctor sighed.

"Well when he passed out after taking the aspirin he slipped into sort of semi-coma, in which his brain is conscious, but he's not awake" replied the Doctor.

Just then a soft 'yes' could be heard behind them, they all turned around to find Bellwether, no longer crying, but doing a small and happy fist pump.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Joe.

"You guys really are fools aren't you, I never loved this old fool, I did it just for his money and his influence, what you guys don't know is that he and I got married yesterday" said Bellwether holding up her ring finger showing off the expensive looking wedding ring.

Almost everyone's jaw dropped to the floor in shock. All except Nick's, he knew that she had been up to no good when she started dating Richard, and now it was finally coming out.

"You bitch, YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS" yelled Nick charging towards the sheep, only to be grabbed by his father.

"Nick, there's nothing we can do right now, were just gonna have to wait for him to wake up" said Joe.

Nick settled down for his family's sake but he still wanted to tear Bellwether to shreds. Nick's family decided to go and get some food from the cafeteria since they would be there for quite a while. Bellwether set about to city hall to arrange "her" inheritance.

(In the cafeteria)

"I just can't believe that one sheep can be so evil" said Sylvia.

"You better believe that, she just as evil as she was a couple of years ago" said Nick putting down is cup of coffee.

"Yeah and if Richard was awake right now I think he would agree" replied Sylvia taking a small sip of her coffee.

"I still can't wrap my head around how she got him to marry her so quick and sign over everything he owns" said Joe rubbing his temples.

Just as Joe was finishing his sentence an idea popped into Judy's head.

"wait, I have an idea" said Judy looking up from her cup of black coffee. The rest of the family leaned forward to listen.

"Richard is far to smart to have let them get married without some precaution, there must be a prenup for something like that in the marriage documents" said Judy.

The rest of the family's eyes widened in sudden realization . How could they have been so blind, of course Richard had a plan, he always did.

"Me and Judy will go check out the city records, in the mean time all of you stay here and watch him, just encase he wakes up" said Nick.

The rest of the family nodded. As they were about to head out Nick's brother pulled him aside.

"Hey bro come over here" said the slightly pudgy fox. Nick walked over to him ready to ask him 'what?', but he instead is wrapped in a tight hug. Nick's brother then whispered in Nick's ear.

'Good luck, now go and make grandpa proud' Then Nick's brother pulled back from and the hug and smiled at him. Nick gave him a small head nod and then headed off towards the exit with Judy.

(With Nick and Judy)

The were standing next to each other waiting for a cab to come by that they could flag down. They waited for a good half hour before a taxi finally pulled around the corner and they could flag it down.

As they got in and started there journey Nick reached into his pocket and pulled out an M1911 Pistol. Judy saw it when the glare hit her eyes, then she looked over and gasped and whispered to him in a harsh tone.

"Nick, what are you doing, you just can't carry a gun around its against the law".

"don't worry fluff I have a carry permit" said Nick reaching into his breast pocket and pulled out a conceal and carry permit. Judy examined it carefully and then saw that it had been renewed less than a week before they got married.

"Well, all right, but just because its legal doesn't mean I like you carrying it around" replied Judy.

"Its just encase somebody gives us trouble, especially right now, there is no way to tell whether Bellwether hired someone to try and keep us from those records" said Nick.

Judy tried to object but she knew that he was right, there was no telling what Bellwether was up to. She knew that she had to trust him on this.

"Okay, lets just get to city hall and get to those records" said Judy. Nick grunted in response and then looked forward as the cab drove onward to city hall.

After about ten minutes the cab arrived at city hall. Nick payed the cabbie and then he drove off. The two then entered city hall, they went up to the reception desk to see if the records hall was open, which it thankfully was, and the two mammals then made their way up to the records room.

Nick opened the giant old glass and wood door for Judy as the duo stepped inside. After looking around a bit it was pretty obvious that no one had used the room in an frequent manner in decades.

Nick made his way over to the main desk to get the directory on where things were, while Judy made her way over to another desk that someone had left the lamp on. As she looked down at the desk she noticed that someone had left papers on the table, it looked as thought someone had been in a hurry to leave.

"Judy come here I found something" said Nick from across the room. Judy couldn't get rid of that feeling in her gut that something was wrong, but she forced it down for now and started towards Nicks location. As she rounded the corner of one of the book shelves Nick was standing there holding an ancient ledger covered in dust.

"Whats that?" asked Judy.

"Its the marriage records dating back to around 1860, this should tell us something" said Nick heading over to a table to starting looking into the dates.

As they sit and open the book Judy notices how old and yellow the paper was in the beginning of the book. What surprised Judy the most was that Richards name appeared about 4 times before they even got to the year 2000.

"Nick how come Richard was married so much?" asked Judy. Nick shrugged his shoulders.

"For how old he is it doesn't surprise me that much, I mean if you think about it he had to have been pretty lonely having outlived nearly all of his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on and so forth" replied Nick.

Judy decided to stop asking questions and just keep looking on with Nick, then they reached the year 2017, near one of the last entry's in the old ledger was Richards signature along with bellwethers.

Another thing Judy noticed was how neat and detailed Richard's signature was. It was done in the most beautiful cursive that she had ever seen. But that didn't matter, what matter is who married them and where they were.

"ah, there it is" said Judy point to the married by section. Nick looked over and didn't recognized the name of the priest, but he did recognize the location. It was the oldest Catholic church in Fox Burrow, it was also the Church the every Wilde had been married in, including himself.

"Alright fluff we've got our location lets get going" said Nick. Judy gave him a knowing nod the two started to head out, when all of a sudden they both heard a loud crash come from the closet off in the corner.

Nick pulled out his gun and him and Judy started towards it with caution. When they reached the door they both looked at each other and gave a nod. Then Nick reached for the door and twisted the handle and the door swung open.

The pair gasped at who was inside.
