Here's chapter 29. This chapter focuses on the characters of Zootopia, specifically Finnick. There is also a brief appearance of the Kaiketsu Zorori characters.
Back in Tokyo, Finnick was still at the bar with Zorori, Ishishi, and Noshishi. They had wasted most of the day drinking, although they weren't drunk, their cheeks had started to turn red due to the alcohol the four of them had drunk so far. They definitely spent an entertaining day talking about the tricks that each of them did in the past, although Finnick still believed that several of the adventures that the Zorori and his two apprentices seemed to come from children's books, since he had never suspected what things so they could happen where they came from. When they saw what time it was, they paid for the drinks they had and left the local. It was definitely a pretty quiet day for the four of them, and they even had fun spending time together even though they've only known each other for a few days and this was only their second meeting.
The most surprising thing about the case was that for Finnick making new friends was always very difficult due to his personality, and in his entire life he had only made 4 friends. Of which one of them was Skye, whom he had known since they were both children and who he had not seen since the moment she moved from Zootopia when they were both in their teens and with whom in recent years they only communicated by cell phone calls. And on the other hand Nick, Judy and Jack with whom he currently has a sibling relationship with the three, and whom he met and befriended in different circumstances.
The strange thing is that he did not feel annoyed sharing friendly moments with Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi. Finnick was literally not the kindest person when it comes to interacting with people he has just met, unless he is a scam that he is trying to commit, but in this case it was not the case. Although Finnick knew why that was, and it was because he shared with them the interest of obtaining benefits by taking advantage of others, although they were not above leaving people in need abandoned and to a certain extent they always helped them, although for Finnick this was weirder than that.
During their conversation, the fennec fox mentioned to the taller fox and the two wild boars that he has no memory of his parents, and that he grew up alone. And that from a very young age he had to learn to do things by himself without the help of anyone. He also told them about how he started the scam business when he was already in his teens. Even with the money earned from the scams, he managed to buy his van, which he had left safe in Zootopia, in a garage that Jack had reserved for the agency's vehicles, when he was in town, in case he had one call for a mission, although obviously Finnick did not tell them at all where his van was stored so they did not know what the striped rabbit was up to.
On the other hand, Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi told them their stories. And so Finnick learned that the three were orphaned from a very young age, but unlike the fox, the wild boars do not remember who their parents were, since they had also been abandoned at such a young age. Now Finnick understood why many people who like him had followed dark paths, but at least none of the four fell so low to the point of becoming murderers or something like that. One thing Finnick might admit is that despite his past scams for money, he could not live with a clear conscience if he had to end the life of an innocent, he would never stain his hands with blood unless he had to defend someone he cared about, like his honorary nephews.
Finnick could still clearly remember the day Nicole and Jerry were born; and the beginning of when Nick and Jack formed a poly love relationship with Judy. Finnick found it a bit strange, but he also thought about how lucky Judy was to have two boys who wanted to be with her and who loved her. But her pregnancy came as a surprise, as it was less than a year before they began that relationship that she was already pregnant.
The day of delivery was a few months after Judy took maternity leave. Nick was working that day. And Jack was in a meeting at the agency, having successfully completed a mission. When Judy began to feel the labor pains, Finnick was taking care of her. By request of Nick and Jack when they were not they asked him to take care of her, even though Judy did not like the idea of her and said that she was capable of taking care of her herself from her.
Finnick took Judy, carefully carried her into her truck, put her in the passenger seat, and rushed her to the hospital. Despite Finnick's size, he did have enough strength to carry Judy in hers arms from her apartment, to her truck and then leave. During the journey to the hospital, the fennec fox could see the vulnerable face of the rabbit, seeing how she suffered from labor pains. Upon arriving at the hospital, Finnick took Judy back into her arms and notified them at the reception as she was about to give birth. Nurses appeared, lifted Judy onto a stretcher, and carried her to the delivery room.
While Finnick was in the waiting room phoned Nick and Jack to let them know that Judy was giving birth. He also called Mrs. Wilde, Stu and Bonnie to let them know about the same. Less than twenty minutes passed when Nick and Jack arrived, they were quite worried about Judy. They were afraid that something was going to happen to her and to the unborn baby. At that time, both the fox and the striped rabbit did not know which of the two was the baby that was to be born, since when Judy went to do the sonograms of the baby, she asked that they not tell her the gender or the species of the baby, since she wanted it to be a surprise for the delivery, for this reason neither of them knew which of them was the father of the baby that was to be born, and that mixed with Judy's well-being and the unborn child was torture for Nick and Jack.
Just at that moment Nick's mother and Judy's parents appeared at the hospital, since when Finnick called Judy's parents, they came to make a surprise visit to the city so they deviated to go to the hospital, on the way they met Nick's mother and offered to drive her to get there faster.
Everyone wondered how Judy was doing, but Finnick told them that since she entered the delivery room, he had received no news and was waiting. They had no choice but to calm down and wait. And while they were at it Mrs. Wilde recounted her own experience when she gave birth to Nick, while Bonnie recounted her own experience when she had Judy and her 275 brothers and sisters. Hearing those experiences put Nick and Jack at ease a bit, as if Mrs. Wilde and Bonnie got through it, Judy could too.
After waiting about ten more minutes, a nurse appeared in the waiting room asking if any of Judy Hopps's relatives or acquaintances were there. At that moment all six of her got up and approached her. The nurse told them to come with her, as they had already moved Judy to a room. When they got to the room, the nurse told them they could come in, but only for fifteen minutes. After that she withdrew, while the other six entered the room.
When they approached Judy, the first surprise they found was that she did not have a baby but two and they were both wrapped in blankets. When they were placed on both sides of the bed they learned that the babies apart from being twins, they realized that they were half siblings. Since the girl was a vixen, she having inherited Nick's species as well as the color of her muzzle, torso, the tips of her ears and the tip of her tail. Whereas the boy was a rabbit, but he had inherited the same stripes that Jack had on his face and back and ears, and part of his fur was the tone of Jack's fur. Although they did not notice it at the time because as they had just been born, both had not opened his eyes, but later they would discover that the girl inherited Nick's eyes, while the boy one of his eyes was the color of Jack's eyes and the another the color of Judy's eyes.
It was a touching moment to see Nick, Jack, Mrs. Wilde, Stu and Bonnie meeting and cuddling for the first time their children (in the case of the first two) and grandchildren (in the case of the last three) Obviously like Finnick was the only one who wasn't part of the family, he had lagged behind a bit, but he had managed to see the babies. But when Judy noticed, that he was the one who had the least opportunity to see them, she asked him to come closer. Because in the end if it weren't for Finnick, Judy would not have come to the hospital to give birth to the two children.
The fennec fox approached the two children, he could not deny that they looked adorable when he saw them wrapped up and being on their mother's lap. It made him think what he would have been like when he was little. While thinking that point to feel how the little hands of both children reached up and touched his nose, far from being bothered by that, it felt good, it is more he began to feel a sense of joy that two children were afraid, since when he passed through the streets of the city without him disguised as a baby, but with his normal appearance children of all ages seemed to feel intimidated by him, but these babies were not. They seemed comfortable with him around.
At that moment was when Nick referred to him with the title with which the children began to call him when they learned to speak, since Nick at that time said the phrase "I see that the children quickly got used to their uncle Finnick". From then on every time he appeared when the children were present he was called "Uncle Finnick" by Nick, Judy, Jack, Mrs. Wilde, Stu and Bonnie.
It was from that day that Finnick became fond of both children and began to treat them as if they were his nephew an niece, but since they did not want them to have the same life as him, he never taught them his tricks to cheat or talk about his past or what he dedicated in in front of the children.
Coming back to the present, seeing that it was almost time to go back to the hotel, Finnick told Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi that he had to go now, but first gave them his phone number so they could call him in case they wanted to talk about something. They also gave his phone number to the fennec fox.
After that, the group broke up and went their separate ways.
When Finnick arrived at the hotel, and went to the room after entering, he was greeted by Nicole and Jerry, who jumped for Finnick to catch them, the result being that Finnick was knocked down, but the children landed safe and sound on him.
Finnick didn't get mad about it and just smiled. At that moment Nick, Judy and Jack approached while Judy said "How many times have I told you not to jump like that on Uncle Finnick!".
"Sorry mom" the two children said in unison.
Nick took Nicole in his arm and Jack took Jerry in his arms. While Judy helped Finnick to his feet.
"Are you okay?" asked the gray rabbit.
"Yes, I have not felt better in all my life" replied the fennec fox, being happy to be part of that family.
Well, so far the chapter. I hope you liked it and leave your comments.
