Epilogues 3: Inseparable Part One (Finnick and Dawn)

A/N: This is where I start looking at the future of other characters. In this case, Finnick and Dawn. From their time in prison to getting out and being part of Wilde's family. Only for them to realize part of their time in prison gave them psychological damage and it's Nick's fault.

Sorry it took so long to get this one out. It was getting too long for it's own good and I had to edit some stuff out. It was getting to be too much. Edited scenes were a huge wedding filled with admirers of Finnick and Judy. Gazelle being a fangirl to Finnick and Judy and begging for a three-way with them and Nick and Finnick greeting each other after two years by sniffing each others' butts.

November 15th Zootopia Prison Visiting Station

This scene is in Episode One of "Wilde Times"

Because being the new mayor elect gave him high clearance, He arranged a visit with Finnick and Dawn and brought his daughter Cotton along with him. Finnick and Dawn waited on the other side of the bulletproof glass. Nick approached Finnick. Cotton approached Dawn on her walker.

Finnick was happy to see Nick. "Nick! How're ya doin buddy!"

Nick growled at him quietly. "Not good 'buddy'! And it's you fault! If there wasn't two inches of thick glass between us I'd bite your neck! I'm only keeping my temper because Cotton is here to see her aunt Dawn."

Finnick was confused. "What the hell did I do?!"

"You remember your little talk about the one time...ONE. TIME. I had sex with a vixen and was too drunk to remember?"

"Yeah?...Oh no."

"Oh yes! I have a five year-old fox son I never knew about thanks to you! The mother tried to abandon him with me and take off. For six years...SIX YEARS she had to bear this child on her own! For over five years I was a father and never knew it! All because YOU had to get me drunk! YOU had to get me an escort and worst of all YOU blocked her number!"

"Don't you blame it all on me!" Finnick snarled. "Your were mourning the loss of your father. I was just tryin' to cheer you up man! Not my fault you were too damn drunk to put a rubber on! I blocked her because I thought she wanted money from you! I was having your back!"

"She told me the condom broke. You never told me you were blocking her number until last week! How could you?!"

"Pardon fuckin' me for protecting my best friend! Let me ask you this. Do you think the Nick of old would have wanted to answer that call? Would he have wanted to pay child support when he didn't even have a job?!"

"I'm not the fox I once was."

"Well neither am I. I'm sorry Nick. I did the wrong thing. But that was the old Finnick. You know I'd never do anything to hurt you. Besides, it all worked out fine, right?"

" 'Worked out fine?!' I just became the new mayor and I already have a child out of wedlock! Candy, that's Junior's mom, got kidnapped along with my daughter! Luckily, it was very short lived. He now lives with me and the kids while his mom is dealing with her drug addiction problem! He's angry with me because he thinks it's my fault his mother had to go away and Petey hates the boy because he thinks I'm replacing him! Judy yelled at me for the first time in ages! My life is a mess thanks to you!"

Finnick's ears drooped. "I-I don't know what to say Nick! I thought I was doing right by you at the time. I-I had no idea she was pregnant. Like I said, I ain't that fox no more! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mess up your life like this. Since I've known you, I've tried to look out for you and protect you. I just...I screwed up in the way I protected you this one time! Forgive me man! I can't afford to lose any more friends."

Finnick looked up at Nick with sad, glossy eyes, "Stop that." Nick said. "That's not gonna work on me this time!"

Finnick got tears welling up in his eyes. His irises grew bigger and glossier. His bottom lip started trembling. "Stop it!" Nick yelled. "I'm not falling for it!"

Then came the whine. A tiny, high-pitched whimper. "AAAW Not the whine! I can't resist the whine! Okay! Okay! Stop it! I forgive you! I forgive you!"

Finnick smiled and wiped his face. "Thanks man. I was hoping I wouldn't have to pull out the big guns, but...there we are."

"You know I can't resist it when you do that weeping puppy face. I'm still mad!...but I'll get over it."

"Aww Nick! You're the best! I love you man."

"Love you too bro and I gotta say, you've changed a lot since...y'know...Honey's passing."

"Yeah. Made me reflect on who I was...I was an asshole."

"You had your good moments too. Not a lot, but some...Why is Dawn weeping?"

Moments Earlier...

Cotton sat across from Dawn. She still wouldn't look directly at her aunt. Dawn was a little worried, so she decided to start the conversation. "Christine dear. Nick said you wanted to see me?"

"Yeah."

"Is it okay if I call you Cotton? Like your dad does?"

"Hee-Hee! Yeah."

"So...what made you wanna see me today? By the way, I SUPER glad you did. This is...like, ten Christmas presents worth of joy right now."

"Well...I saw the video of you and Finnick on the news."

"Uh-Oh."

"It was censored and just you two talking. They had the little pixel squares all over your boobies and his pee-pee."

"Whew! Okay. That's good."

"You said some stuff. About how you were sorry you didn't pick me up and how you almost lost me?"

"SNIFF! Yes. I really screwed up, Cotton. I did such horrible things that I really regret now."

Cotton finally looked at her. "You said you love predators now?"

"It's true! I'm in love with Finnick."

"Everyone knows that!"

The two of them giggled. "He's a great mammal. That talk I had with him along with my talk with Nick really changed me around. I really am sorry honey. I'm a changed lamb!...Cotton?"

Cotton went silent for a moment. "I need you to know how bad it was for me. When you didn't pick me up, they put me in the orphanage. Everyone made fun of me and called me 'Crazy Legs'. I-I-I felt like no one loved me!"

Cotton started to weep. Dawn felt terrible. "I'm so sorry baby! I really am!"

"Then my new daddy Nick came. I was scared of him at first, but he was so nice and funny. Daddy and Spots saved my life. Then I met Michael and Mommy and Petey and Cindy. Even though I was different, I now had boys fighting over me. I have a family now and they take real good care of me. So...if you did pick me up, I'd just be in another foster home again."

"SNIFF! You're right! I'm just a big, fat failure. I never thought of the consequences of my actions. Not only for me and the city, but for you." Dawn started to cry. "I'm glad you found Nick because I never deserved to be your parent! I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me!"

"So...You're really, really sorry?!"

"Yes! I'm so sorry!"

Cotton then smiled. "Okay! I forgive you."

"Wh-what?!"

"I said I forgive you. Daddy told me that he used to be bad to, but he changed. He says that everyone has one big screw up in their lives and if they are sorry and try to be good, then we should forgive them at least once...Will you come visit me when you get out?...Aunt Dawn?"

Dawn couldn't stop crying. "EEEEEEEEE!...B-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-HHHH! OF COURSE I WILL! I LOVE YOUUUUU!"

Cotton smiled. "I love you too Aunt Dawn."

Nick came over with a smile. "Hey, hey now. Are you torturing this poor woman?"

Cotton was confused. "No daddy. I decided to forgive her and I told Aunt Dawn that I loved her."

"Awww!"

"Now she's crying like a baby."

Nick and Dawn laughed. Then a guard came by. "Okay everyone. Time's up."

Dawn blew Cotton a kiss. "Goodbye honey! Be sure to write to me! I wanna hear all about how you're doing in school and everything!"

"I will!" Cotton said as they were leaving.

About an hour later, they were back home. Nick was sitting on the couch, Cotton was watching TV, Spots was in her room and Junior was practicing his pouncing. It was then that Judy came in to the apartment with the bunny boys and Cindy. "So...did Cotton see Dawn?"

"Yeah." Nick replied. "She finally forgave her and Dawn cried up a storm."

"And did you confront Finnick?"

"Oh yeah! I really gave him hell over what he did."

"...He started to cry and you forgave him didn't you?"

"You know me like a book Fluff."

February 12th Zootopia Courthouse. Judgement Day

Nick Wilde was now officially mayor. We was watching in the courthouse as the many prisoners who helped assist the police and fought against Lionheart's men were being re-evaluated.

Judge Ramshire watched over proceedings and looked over every case. "Up next, Manchas Scratchford. Please approach the bench."

Manchas timidly approached the judge. "...Your honor?"

"Due to your assistance in leading the resistance to the prison breakout and helping keep the prisoners inside along with your outstanding behavior in prison, chiefs Swinton and Higgins along with me have decided to release you today without parole."

Manchas smiled. "Not even parole?! Woo-Hoo! Thank you so much! I can finally save up for that bus and start the city tour I've always dreamed of!"

"You're welcome. What you did should be rewarded."

"Thank you! And here I thought playing the saxophone while Finnick and Dawn were having sex on live TV was gonna go against my record."

"What was that?!"

"Nothing! Thank you! Bye!" Manchas got out of there as quick as he could.

The judge looked down at his notes. "Okay. Next up is Finnick Kimberly Fox."

Nick, who was on the side snicked. "THAT'S what the 'K' stands for?"

Finnick bared his fangs. "Shut up!"

The judge spoke. "Finnick Fox. Besides your many misdemeanors and small crimes over the years, you also assisted Lionheart in bringing fear into the city by spreading anti-prey propaganda."

"But I also killed him!" Finnick argued. "...I-In self-defense of course."

"Yes." The judge grumbled. "You and Dawn Bellwether..."

"Here!" Dawn said.

"This involves you too, so come one up. Finnick you and her had sex on live TV in front of millions."

"Without our knowledge." Finnick tried to argue.

"Until you knew the cameras were on and then you two kept going until you were too tired to go on anymore."

"...Oh that! Ha-Ha! Well...Ummm... I mean in for a penny, in for a pound...We were already in jail! We figured, what 's the worst that could happen?!"

"And yet...amidst your sexual depravity was a showing of true love and peace between two of the biggest prey and predator haters in the entire city. You two who were once enemies have not only found love, but have risen inter-species marriages up 800 percent! It's because of this that I have reduced both of your twenty-year sentences to ten."

Finnick was happy, but a but disappointed. "Oh! Well...at least we'll have each other in prison."

"About that." The judge said. "I have talked to the mayor and together we have come to an arrangement to reduce your sentences to two years."

Finnick and Dawn bounced up and down. "Yes! I knew my man Nick would come through for me!"

Dawn was in tears. "Oh thank you! THANK YOU!"

"Two years...in solitary confinement."

Finnick and Dawn were stunned. Finnick then spoke up. "Your...your honor. That's worse than the ten years! We were together in the same cell! You're tearing us apart!"

Dawn pleaded. "PLEASE don't do this! Solitary drives people insane! There's nothing to do! No one to talk to! I-I found the love of my life and you want me to be completely ALONE for two years?!"

"It's already been decided." said the judge. "Mayor Wilde agrees with the ruling..You two may have helped heal this city, but you also helped cause the damage in the first place!" The judge then banged his gavel. "NEXT!"

Dawn was sobbing as Finnick was being dragged off by guards and was yelling at Nick. "This is because of you son isn't it?! I apologized! You said you forgave me! YOU FORGAVE ME!"

Nick just looked on sternly. Not saying a word. Finnick felt like he lost his best friend forever.

Hours later, the guards had Finnick back in his prison uniform. He was being marched to his new home in the maximum security room. Swinton was helping lead the way. The fennec fox that once had a ton of stubborn pride was now sniffling and sobbing.

Swinton tried cheering him up. "Oh come now! It won't be too bad! You can still have books. You get to sleep and eat and sleep some more. The two years will fly by!"

"It will be hell without my Dawn." Finnick replied with dread.

The guards stopped at the room and Swinton took off his pawcuffs. "I'm sorry Finnick, but I forgot to mention one other thing."

"What else can go wrong?!"

"You have a cellmate."

Finnick looked very surprised. "What?! It's solitary!"

Swinton opened the door to reveal Dawn on the other side. She was sitting on the bed. She was as surprised as he was. "Finnick?!"

"Dawn?!" Finnick replied.

Swinton smiled. "Turns out that since Rusev destroyed his solitary cell, this is the one and only solitary confinement cell left in the prison and while we did request funds for a new one, that gosh darn Mayor Wilde turned us down! Looks like you two will be spending solitary confinement...together."

Finnick ran over and hugged Dawn tight. "Oh baby! I thought for sure I was gonna be alone for these next two years!"

"Me too!" Dawn said while crying.

"Don't be too happy." Swinton replied. "It's a very small space for two people. You'll be living side by side with only each other for two entire years. You'll either come out loving each other or killing each other. It has only one tiny bed and a toilet right next to it so...enjoy each others' gas noises and poop smells.

"I'm canine." Finnick replied. "We love poop smells."

"Eww. Well anyway, before we go. I have a note from Mayor Wilde that I totally did not read and he totally does not recommend tearing it up and flushing it down the toilet. See you later!"

The door was shut behind them and Finnick read the letter. "Sorry for the ruse, but even a judge can be hustled. Hope you two get along okay for the next two years. Love, Nick Wilde."

Finnick hugged the letter, then tore it up into pieces and flushed it down the toilet. "That damn fox. He not only cut short our sentence, he managed to keep us together."

Dawn hugged Finnick from behind. "Soooo..we have our own private, little space for the next two years. What do you want to do first?"

"I was thinking of seeing how often a fennec fox can orgasm for the next 8 hours."

"Mmmmmm...maybe I can help you with that."

"Maybe you can."

For the next two years, the pred/prey couple ate, drank, slept, mated, fought, made up and mated some more. Sometimes, they swapped dinners and Dawn tried fish for the first time. Other times, Finnick would rest his head on Dawn's lap while she read books to him. They discussed each others' past and what they wanted to do in the future once they were free. What could have been two years of torture turned into heaven for the couple. Instead of fighting to the point of trying to kill one another, they became closer and closer.

Maybe a little too close.

Two years later...

Finnick and Dawn were free. They were under two years probation, but Wolford was their probation officer and he was a close friend to Nick and Judy. Nick was on his way to pick them up. They were waiting by pick up with Wolford next to them. "Ya better be on yer best behavior." The wolf said. "I'll be watchin' yer every move...Well, not yer every move, but I'll be reportin' in on you from time 'ta time and Nick promised he'd snitch on ya if ya do somethin' wrong."

"Oh we won't officer." Finnick replied. "I'm a changed mammal."

Dawn nudged Finnick. "Are you as nervous as I am?" she asked.

"I know. I almost miss the safety and security of our cell already."

"Well, at least we'll have our own place and a bit more space."

Finnick held her hoof. "I don't need more space away from you."

"Awww! I love you honey. Even after two years crammed together, I never want to part from you."

They saw Nick from a distance. He was with his second wife, Candy. The vixen was pushing Cotton in a wheelchair.

Dawn was sad. "Awwww! Cotton got worse?"

"Uh-Oh." said Finnick. "I think that's the vixen Nick knocked up."

When they got twenty feet from each other, Nick bent down and talked to Cotton. "Okay sweetie. Time to surprise your aunt Dawn."

Cotton sat up in the chair, pushed off of it until she was standing all on her own. No walker. No crutches.

Dawn was surprised. She was then elated when Cotton ran towards her at full speed and jumped into the ewe's arms.

Dawn hugged her and cried with joy. "You can run?! You can run!"

"Yep." said Nick. "It was an expensive surgery and took just over a year for recovery, but her knees are normal and she can walk, run and play just like any other kid."

"SNIFF! That's so wonderful!"

"It's like, totally awesome!" Cotton said. "I did the same thing at school last week and my friends were like, 'No way!' and I was like, 'Yes way! Duh!'"

Nick apologized. "Sorry Dawn. Cotton's nine going on thirteen. She's already in her 'tween' phase."

Cotton was upset. "GAWD! Dad! It's not a phase! It's like, who I am and stuff!"

Nick then showed his new wife off to Finnick. "Long time, no see Finn. I'd like you to meet my second wife, Candy."

Finnick timidly went to shake her paw. "H-Hey! Nick's son's mom right?"

"Correct."

"L-Look. I'm sorry about blocking those phone calls. I-I thought you were some kinda OOF!"

Candy kicked Finnick hard in the balls until he was doubled over. "A-Are we cool now?" Finnick asked.

"No. But I promised Nick I'd let it go as long as I got one good kick in."

Dawn got mad. "Don't kick my fiance's balls! Those belong to me!"

"Maybe he should have thought of that before blocking my calls after I found out I was pregnant with Nick's child!"

"Maybe you should have thought of NOT using cheap condoms!" KICK! "OOF!..Okay. I had that one coming."

Nick was a little upset. "Now Candy, I only promised you one."

They all got into Nick's limousine. Victor was the chauffeur. "Ready to go Mr. Wilde?"

"Sure thing Vic!" He then looked over at Finnick. "By the way Finn, I got a surprise for you."

"Yeah? What's that?" Finnick asked.

"Remember in your last note to me that you said you wanted to marry Dawn as soon as possible?"

"Yeah?" Finnick replied.

"Well, I'm taking you two to the jewelry store for your rings, then it's off to the chapel for a quick engagement!"

Finnick and Cotton cheered and Dawn cried tears of joy. Then Finnick had a question. "So...Candy's your second wife?"

"Yes?"

"...Did you and Judy get divorced?"

"No, me and Sweet Tooth are fine. Pride law, remember? I have two wives."

"Lucky skunk!"

"Don't say that! Trust me. Although me and Judy have definitely had our rough patches, we're still married and very close."

Dawn was curious. "Why did you call Judy 'Sweet Tooth'?"

"Well, that was one of our rough patches. She cheated on me. I caught her eating Candy."

"What's so bad about...ooooooh!"

Finnick was still puzzled. "I don't get it." Dawn whispered in his ear. "...Damn!"

Nick put his arm around the vixen. "I was real upset at first because I was always 100% loyal to Judy, but she convinced me to try a sample and let me tell you. That Candy is dee-licious! It was best for Judy, Junior and the rest my family that I married Candice after she got over her drug addiction. Now, we all live happily together."

"Sooo if you two are goin' at it, you got any more fox kids?"

Candy explained. "I got myself fixed right after little Nick was born. I could barely afford to feed him at the time, much less any more foxes."

"Our family is a baker's dozen." Nick added. "We're not planning on any more kids. What about you two?"

"We talked about it." Dawn replied. "I know about the whole 'universal sperm' thing and Finnick is smaller than me so it should be no problem, but I worry how they'll come out. I know they'll be 90% sheep, but what if there's some kind of deformity?"

"That's reasonable." said Nick. "People have been pretty cautious about cross-breeding ever since the porcubear."

"There's a porcubear?!"

"A baby one. Changing his diapers must be a nightmare."

Finnick was shocked. "So...it was a male porcupine and a female bear?"

"Yup. You can thank your live TV stunt for that. Now everyone wants to cross breed."

"How does a porcupine and a bear..."

"VERY carefully."

Dawn thought it over. "Yeeeah I think we'll stick with adoption. But not until we've got a steady income coming in and we're comfortable."

Hours later, at Nick's apartment...

A small wedding reception was held at Nick's place. There were guests, food and live music by Gazelle who was a huge fan of Finnick and Dawn.

"So that's the deal." Nick said. "You'll get to drive Gideon's pie van to deliver pies around the city and you can even paint the mural on the side. Dawn will be doing the financing for the business or she can stay here and help run the hotel. Her choice. In the meantime, I got a room for you guys the next floor down. What do you say?"

Finnick thought it over. "That's great Nick! But..."

"But what?"

"Can Dawn be my co-pilot? She's always by my side and I'd miss her terribly."

Judy and Nick looked at each other with confusion, then back at Finnick. "I...guess so. She could do the finances by tablet. But she has great managing skills so I was hoping she could..."

In the middle of their conversation, Dawn interrupted. "Excuse me everyone, but where is your restroom?"

"We've got two." Judy explained. "One in my bedroom and the other is right in the hall there."

"Thanks." She hopped down, then motioned to her husband. "C'mon Finn!"

"Comin' honey!" Finn replied as he hopped off the couch too.

Nick was confused. "Do you have to go too?"

"Errr...no." Finnick replied. "But Dawn has never used the toilet without me present...or using me as the toilet, but I won't go into that."

Dawn explained. "It's his kink, not mine. C'mon honey!"

Finnick then realized something. "Nick's right. Only you need to use the bathroom. I guess it would be kinda weird being in there to watch you pee when company's around."

"Oh!...Okay."

She shut the door behind her. It lasted all of ten seconds. Finnick ran to the door just as she was opening it. "Finn! PLEASE come in! I can't go without you watching me!"

"Okay baby! I was getting anxious myself."

Finnick and Dawn stepped into the bathroom together and Nick and Judy looked at each other in confusion.

"Did you see that?!" Judy asked,

"Yeah." Nick replied. "Okay, first thing, don't let Finnick kiss you. Ever. Second, I noticed something today. They've never left each others' side. Not once!"

"That's weird!" Judy replied. "They spent two years together. You'd think they'd want SOME time apart!"

"Unless...oh no."

"Oh no what?"

"They've always been together for the last two years. It's all they know! I gotta try something to know for sure."

Dawn and Finnick exit the bathroom with Nick and Judy waiting for them. "Guys?" Nick replied. "Can you come into our bedroom for a moment?"

"Uhhhh...sure Nick!" Finnick replied. As Nick and Judy led the way, Finnick whispered to Dawn. "I think it's happening! That thing we fantasized about!"

Nick let them in first, while they came in from behind. "Now, the reason I wanted to see you guys is...what the hell are you doing?!"

Finnick and Dawn had their clothes half off. "What do you mean?! It's obvious you two want us in here for a four-way."

Dawn talked to Judy while pulling off her dress. "I have to admit Judy, since the day I met you, I always wanted to eat your tasty c-"

"We are not having a four-way!" Judy shouted.

Dawn froze in her tracks. "...Carrot cake. I was gonna say carrot cake."

Finnick and Dawn quickly put their clothes back on and Finnick was upset. "What the hell is this about then?!"

Nick explained. "It's...kind of an intervention. I think you two may have a problem."

"What do you mean?" Dawn asked.

Let me try something. "Dawn, can you walk into our closet?"

"She already came out of it." Judy joked which made Dawn blush, "Relax Bell. I'm bi too."

"I guess so." Dawn replied.

"Now just to be 100% sure, you're not afraid of the dark or enclosed spaces?"

"We were in a dark, enclosed space together for two years." Finnick argued.

Nick shook his head. "Right. Dawn, you are going to be inside the closet alone for about 30 seconds. Finnick will be on the other side."

"Finnick was a little panicked. "I will?!"

"Yes. I need to know something."

Dawn timidly walked into the closet. "O-Okay. I'm in." Nick explained. "There will be no tricks or anything. I'm just going to shut the door and then re-open in thirty seconds. That's all."

Nick shut the closet door and Dawn immediately began to panic. "Finnick?! Are you there?!"

"Right here baby." Finnick replied. "Can she get out now?!"

"It's been five seconds." Nick replied.

Another five seconds goes by and Dawn starts pulling and banging on the door. "Let me out! I want my Finn baby!"

Nick had to hold back Finnick. "I'm right here baby! Dammit Nick! Let me go!"

Dawn pulled the closet door open and the ewe and fennec fox hugged each other tight. "Are you okay baby?!" Finnick asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine darling." Dawn replied. "That's weird! I...I couldn't last ten seconds without you!"

"Me too." Finnick replied. "Nick...we failed your test. What's wrong with us?!"

Nick sat on the floor and leaned against the end of the bed. "I'm so, so sorry guys. This is all my fault!"

"What do you mean?" Finnick asked.

"Having you guys share solitary for two years seemed like a good way to shorten your sentence while keeping you two together. Swinton was okay with it. What I didn't realize is that since you two were together every single day for two years, you became one. You two have a co-dependence mental illness. A very strong one at that."

"So we can't be apart." Dawn argued. "How bad can that be?"

Judy explained. "There are times when you HAVE to have privacy. Either at the doctor's or simply using the bathroom at a public place. I mean, you had to use our bathroom together, which is okay, but what about out in public?! Like at a grocery store?!"

"No problem." Finnick said. "I could always go back to wearing diapers. Maybe even doing that baby thing with the stroller."

"The stroller will block your view of Dawn and the anxiety will kick in. Do you really want to limit your freedom like that? You're a grown man! You can't pretend to be a baby forever."

"You're right." Finnick replied. "So what do we do?"

"I know a therapist. Maybe she can help. She cured Spots of her PTSD." Nick then sat back up. "Now, let's get back to that party!"
