Judy made her way through the traffic and to Zootopia Central Hospital. She pulled into a parking space and shut off her engine. She exited and locked the car, slung her purse around her shoulder and locked her car and proceeded to walk towards the entrance.
The automatic doors opened as she approached them, as she walked in she saw that the waiting room was mostly empty, save it for a few mammals that looked they were just about to leave.
So she walked right up to the counter where the Receptionist, a white taled deer, was typing away on the computer.
"Hello" said Judy getting the deer's attention. The deer looked around and didn't see anyone and went back to typing.
"Hello?, Down here" said Judy waving her paw at the receptionist. The deer looked down and smiled.
"Sorry didn't see you there, what do you need?" asked the deer.
"My name is Judy Hop-, I mean Wilde, and I'm here for my doctors appointment" said Judy. The deer clacked away on her keyboard and pulled up the appointment ticket.
"Ah, here it is. Go sit down and we'll call you when we're ready for you" replied the Deer. Judy nodded and thanked her and went to go sit down.
She sat down in a chair right next to an end table, so she picked up a random magazine entitled ' The Joys Of House Making'. A magazine directed towards the housewife's of Zootopia. Although she did like being independent a lot, it didn't stop her from fantasizing about the life of a housewife. Cooking,cleaning, taking care of the kids, something much more safe and laid back then her current work.
Nick could get a nice cozy job working for his Grandpa and Dad and we could have a nice, Domesticated life, away from the hustle and bustle of the inner-city, and away from the danger. But she quickly pushed that idea away for now. She wouldn't have to think about that yet, at least she hoped she didn't.
It wasn't like she was apposed to having kits with Nick, its just they were completley unprepared and didn't even know if they could have kits naturally. But she would find out soon.
She sat there reading the magazine. It was filled with comfortable and light fabric dresses and many different appliances for easier use of the home. There were lists and steps to keep your husband happy, and many other things. Some of which Judy didn't think were right. But there were no laws against running a privet business the way you want to.
After half an hour the door to the rest of the hospital opened up and an older looking wolf with a clipboard called her name.
She got up from her seat and followed him into a small room with a table, two chairs, a desk attached to the wall, some cabinets and some other assorted items. The wolf closed the door behind them and sat down.
He was wearing black pleated pants, a white button down shirt with full length sleeves. A red tie and his doctors coat. He also had a stethoscope around his neck.
"Good afternoon , My name is Dr. Wolfstein ,I see your here for a full checkup and pregnancy test" said .
"Yes"
"Tell me what makes you think you are pregnant".
"Well I've been having a lot of morning sickness and really weird cravings" replied Judy.
The Doctor jotted down some of these things on his clipboard.
"Okay, That's all I need to know. Just for insurance purposes. Okay, I'm going to have the nurse come in here and preform your physical checkup and then afterward I'll ask you some questions" said the Doctor writing a few more things down before leaving the room and telling Judy that the nurse would be along soon.
After a couple of minutes the nurse, a female bunny who look just a tad older than Judy, stepped into the room. And then it hit her.
"Victoria?" said Judy. The Nurse seemed to perk up at the sound of her name.
"Judy?" replied the Nurse.
The two got smiles on their faces, the two embraced into a hug.
"What are you doing here?" asked Judy.
Victoria had been one of her best friends in high school, she was always a very caring soul. So it made sense that she would be a Nurse.
"I came here to Zootopia shortly after you did and I've been in nursing school for the past year or so, I'm still going but I'm hoping to be done soon and then I can start working my way through the ranks" said Victoria.
"That's awesome, I just never thought in a million years I would run into you here, let alone be the Nurse that's preforming my checkup" replied Judy.
"Well at least it won't be too awkward then, so let's get started" said Victoria.
Victoria proceded to ask her some generic questions and everything was going fine, that was until they got to some more personal questions.
"Are you sexually active?" asked Victoria, reading it off as plain as day. It was something they asked a lot, but it was Judy's answer that caught Victoria off gaurd.
"Yes" said Judy with a blush. Victoria's face went from serious to a slightly shocked expression.
"What?" replied with a small smirk on her face.
Judy blushed even harder than before.
"Yes, I am sexually active" said Judy trying to straighten her expression.
"So you've finally started dating, I'd never thought I see the day" said Victoria.
Judy was a little shocked that she didn't hear about her and Nick's marriage, her parents like to gossip a lot.
"Well not exactly dating" said Judy holding up the finger with her ring on it. Victoria got a wide smile on her face and rushed over to Judy's side to examine the ring better.
"When did this happen?" asked Victoria.
"A couple months ago" replied Judy.
Victoria just sat there looking at the ring, maybe a little too long than normal.
"You know I hate to interrupt you two but I have an appointment" said Judy. Victoria seemed to snap of the trance she was in.
"Oh, of course" said Victoria. She asked Judy a couple more questions and then told her the doctor would be right in.
Judy waited there for a few minutes checking her phone every once and while.
She then heard paw steps approaching and then the door knob turn and in walked a wolf. He looked older than the previous wolf, he wore a white button down shirt and a black tie, with a open doctors coat. She spotted the cigarette pack in his coat pocket about the same time she smelled him. He didn't smell bad, the typical sterile, clean, smell of a doctor mixed with a hint of cigarette smoke.
"Hello , my name is I will be your doctor today. I see that your here for a pregnancy test, yes?" said the Doctor.
"Yes I am, I just want to make sure. You see I've been having morning sickness and I don't know if its that or just some bug" said Judy the Dr then took some notes down and left the room.
A couple minutes later he came back with a small Sealable cup.
"Now I would like you to go and fill this up with your urine and bring it back to me and we'll have it tested. If you need any water there are paper cups behind you. Take as long you want I have some paperwork to do" said
He handed her the cup and left the room. She looked at the cup and sighed. She set it down on the doctors desk in the office and then grabbed a paper cup and filled it to the brim with water. She quickly swallowed it and repeated the process several times and then waited, in which time she check her phone.
She replied to a text both by Nick and her Mother. And then checked over some bank stuff. It was a good 20 minutes before the urge hit her and she rushed off to the bathroom. She quickly filled the cup and closed it and brought it back to the Doctors office.
She sat there and waited for him to come back,after 10 minutes he did.
"Ah, good , I will have this tested and I'll call you with the results." said , but as he was about to exit Judy spoke up.
"Excuse me Doctor, but when you call could you let whoever answers the phone know your my doctor, I don't want my husband finding out until I know for certain" said Judy.
"Of course, have a good day" said the Dr.
Judy exited the hospital and thought about what she was going to do. She though that she should go and pick up some groceries, since they were running low. So she headed to her car and started it up. The cool AC hit her and it felt good running through her fur.
She sat that for a minute just basking in the cool air. But she knew that she needed to get going. So she but on her seat belt and put the car into gear and makes her way to the grocery store that was nestled at the edge of the Zootopian suburbs.
She parks her car and shuts off the engine and then locks the doors and makes her way into the big super market.
The big Cub Foods logo on the front greeted her with its red neon glow. She walked inside and got a rabbit sized cart from the rack. And proceeded to walk down the aisle picking up some bread, milk, cheese, etc. After getting the basics she went to the frozen aisle.
Sometimes they didn't have time to make a whole meal so they had a big chest freezer filled with frozen foods that they can just throw in the oven/microwave and eat. This happened rarely and only when they would be suddenly called into work because of a case.
After picking up some frozen meals she heads down the treats aisle and picks up some ice cream and some chocolate covered blueberries. She also got some pop and chips. Her and Nick liked to go grocery shopping as little as possible so that's why they always made sure they bought a lot to last them a long time.
She had just finished checking out when her cart hit one of similar size, she looked over to the other mammal to apologize when she saw it was Mrs. Otterton and her two boys.
"Oh, I didn't realize I ran into you" said Judy quickly maneuvering her cart to be beside the similar sized mammal.
"Judy, its so good to see you again" said Mrs. Otterton letting go of her own cart and embracing the bunny in a hug.
"Well it was nice running into you, I'll see you later" said Judy while breaking away from the hug. But just as she was about to leave and head for her car Mrs. Otterton stopped her.
"Say Judy would you want to come over for dinner, Me and Emmit have been meaning to have you guys over again" said Mrs. Otterton.
Judy thought about it and she didn't think it could hurt for her and Nick to go and have dinner with their friends.
"Okay, that sounds good" said Judy.
"Still the same address as before right?" asked Judy.
Mrs. Otterton nodded her head and headed out of the grocery store with her two boys. Judy smiled and herself headed out to her car. After loading the groceries into the trunk and back seats she headed home.
As she left the grocery store she got a call on her cell phone, she looked and saw it was Nick. Since her car was relativley new her cellphone was linked into the cars stereo so she could talk while driving.
So she clicked the answer button on the steering wheel and she heard the call connect.
"Hello?" she heard Nick say.
"Hey, what's up" Judy answered back.
"Hey, would you mind swinging by Richard's I have some news" said Nick
Judy was surprised, Nick sounded excited. Well even a little bit of excitment in Nick could sound like a lot, considering he's Mr Sarcasm.
"Sure, just let me go home and put away the groceries" replied Judy.
"Okay see you there" replied Nick hanging up the phone.
As the phone disconnected Judy wondered what Nick's news was, he was usually very upfront about his news. But this must be really good if he's keeping it from her.
So she drove through the quiet suburbs and to their house. As she pulled into the driveway she noticed a note attached to the door. So before getting the groceries out of the car she went up to the door and ripped the note off of its tape. She flipped it opened and began to read.
What she read scared her and shook her to her very core. As a police officer she didn't get frightened easy, but this did shake her. She quickly tucked the note into her pocket and proceeded to unload the car. After she was done she got back into her car and booked it across the city and toward Fox Burrow. Keeping it within the speed limits of course.
She managed to make it in an hour by pushing the speed laws a little bit. As she entered Fox Burrow she was still amazed about how it almost seemed like you were going back in time to the 50s. The streets a bustle with foot traffic and the houses giving a warm inviting feeling.
She thought that whoever thought Foxes were horrible people should be given a good stern talking too. And maybe even worse.
As she drove through she got some friendly smiles from the foxes on the street.
It took her another half hour to reach the countryside of Fox Burrow and finally the large Estate of Richard Wilde. She drove up to the gate where it then was opened while a buzzing noise emitted from the box to her left.
As she drove up the massive smooth paved drive way she saw the huge mansion come into view. She was still very impressed by it. It was one of the oldest buildings in Zootopia, as the Estate housed several buildings. The Wilde family originally owned a plantation here in the 1830's in which a pretty big house , built in the Antebellum style, was built here by slave labor.
Although the house still stands and is owned by the Wilde's, its now a museum on the Civil War. It sits further back into the massive 200,000 acre property. But in the front of the Property displayed in great glory was a massive Victorian Style mansion.
The construction of the house started in 1879 and finished by 1895. It had a very uniform and formal look inside and out. Most of it was original, save for a couple light bulbs that had burned out over the years.
Its beauty had mesmerized Judy the first time she came here. She could admire all of the small details put into the house just to make it that much more impressive. She parked her car next to Nick's and shut off the engine.
She dug out the note and was contemplating whether or not to bring it in and showing Nick. She decided against it at the moment, she didn't want to ruin whatever news he had. So she put the note in her center console and got out of the car. She walked quickly to the large door leading into a little place to leave your hats, jackets and other things. Which then leads to two huge wood double doors that lead to the large room ahead.
As she knocked she heard hoof steps behind the door. When the door opened up she looked up and met the gaze of a young looking horse. She looked young enough to be 14 years old. She was in a maids uniform.
"May I help you?" asked the young horse.
Judy felted a little creeped out that someone this young would be working for Richard. Though she tried not to think those thoughts, she new there must be a reason.
"Yes... I'm here to see Richard" said Judy.
The young equine smiled and opened the door the full way.
"Come right in, he's upstairs in his room. Would you like me to show you where it is?" asked the young horse.
"No thank you I've been here before" replied Judy. The horse smiled and curtsied and left towards what looked like kitchen area.
Judy made her way begrudgingly up the stairs to the the 3rd floor where the Master bedroom was located. As she approached she could hear Richard talking with Nick. For two city foxes, well one and a half. Considering the city grew around Richard more than the other way around. They sure could took loudly, she could hear them clear down the hall. But she didn't think about it much longer.
She got to the door and knocked.
"Come in" she heard Richard say.
She opened the door and peaked in the room before coming in full ways. There Richard was tucked into his grand looking wooden framed bed. The blankets where plush and heavy looking but Richard comfy in his light white cotton shirt.
"Hey guys" said Judy closing the door behind him.
"Hey Jude" said Richard.
"Hey sweetie" said Nick walking over and embracing his wife in a hug.
"And how are you doing today?" asked Judy looking at Richard.
Richard knocked on his chest like you would on a door and said.
"Cracked but not broken and feeling better everyday, how have you been?" asked Richard.
Judy shrugged.
"Okay I guess, its nice that we have been able to relax after the whole fiasco started" replied Judy.
"I know how you feel" replied Richard.
"Anyways I was told there was some news I needed to come here for?" asked Judy looking in Nick's direction.
Nick got an 'ah ha' face and nodded stepping closer to his grandfather and looked at him. Richard shook his head yes, giving the go ahead for the news to be shared.
"Well Carrots, Richard got a phone call earlier today. It was from Gazelle, which I nearly forgot about, apparently while we were prancing around trying to find the prenup she had been getting the record company's wound up by playing the small clip of you singing and one of the songs I recorded for you, and both of us have several offers. One even from our dear Richard to start recording songs" Finished Nick.
Judy's mind was freaking out, although her dream was always to be the first Bunny police officer in all of Zootopia. But she secretly would have always liked to be like Gazelle, a star beloved by all who, with her power and influence, could do some real good in the world.
Nick waited for Judy to respond, he could tell by the face she was making that she was certainly surprised.
"But how, I'm no professional singer, and I didn't even know that you released the ones you recorded" replied Judy still trying to wrap the idea around her head. But before she could continue Richard spoke up.
"He didn't release them, Gazelle came by the other day to negotiate a contract and heard me listening back to the takes, she liked what she heard so I gave her the final mixed copy" Said Richard.
"Oh" said Judy.
"Yeah I wanted you to come here so we could talk about it" said Nick.
Judy just stood there taking it all in, letting the feeling sink into her fur. It was weird, that people wanted her singing, most of the time back at home she was told to shut up, usually in a joking manner but to shut up non the less.
Not because they didn't like her singing, its just with so many mammals in one place noise is constant so there was very little time for quiet. So when it was she would sing for fun, and that would cause noise and that would ensue the shutting up of her and anyone else that would make more noise than necessary.
But either way it didn't matter she still sang at family events or on camping trips with her older brothers and sisters.
"So Judy what do you want to do?" asked Nick waiting patiently for his wife's response.
Judy snapped back from thought.
"I don't know Nick, I don't want to give up being a police officer. But I also don't want to give up a huge opportunity like this" replied Judy her nerves starting to get the better of her.
Nick wrapped her in a hug.
"Its okay try not to overthink this too much, if you don't want to do this you don't have too" said Nick stroking her ears down to her back.
"I know Nick but I want to, I just don't know If I can, if I really want to throw away all that I've accomplished with ZPD for the life of a star" said Judy.
Both heads turned as they heard Richard clear his throat.
"Judy, Nick, if you two don't want to give up the things you're doing now if you sign with me I can have recording and preforming and the like rescheduled around your regular police lives, if that would be okay?".
Judy smiled, who else but Richard to have a plan to help them.
"Okay, if we do it with Richard's label and it can work around our busy lives, then let's do it" said Judy the smile on her face only growing in size. Nick quickly got a smile on his face before he picked up Judy and spun her around.
The two looked happily into each others eyes, each with a huge grin on there muzzles. And for the first time in a couple days both had felt at peace and that there was no stress and nothing to worry about.
And then Judy remembered about the note she found on their door, and that wiped the smile.
(A/N: Hey guys I'm really sorry about not posting at all this summer, I've been enjoying my summer vacation as well as working my ass off at my job, so again I'm sorry. But I have a couple things to announce, One: I would like if someone is interested to have a custom piece of cover art to be used for the story cover, if you are interested message me and let me know and we can talk.
Two: I have a couple different directions I could take this story so I was hoping for some input, one thing I could do is the current linage of Nick and Judy both being police officers as well as some sort of celebrities. Or I could have them give up being police officers and do the singing thing full time, or the opposite and have them only be police officers. Or if when (Spoiler) I make them have kids I could have Judy stay home as a housewife or both of them are still police. Again I want community input on this so please if your leaving a review let me know. That's it and I'll get to working on the next chapter soon and hopefully it shouldn't take me as long as this one did. So Ta Ta For Now)
