I know the parts are taking longer and longer to make, but I haven't really planned the story out until a while ago, I just started writing without thinking about where it would lead. Because of this, the details are taking a long time to match up so if something doesn't fit in the plot, please let me know. I also wrote the whole chapter, realized I didn't like it, then restarted it. Hope you guys understand, but it's here now! Enjoy!

===========

Judy woke to the warm smell of blueberry pancakes. She pulled herself up and rubbed her eyes before looking around. She was in Nick's bed. The bright sun cut thru his window, lighting up the room without effort.

She threw the bed sheets off of her and pulled herself to the edge of the mattress, her muscles aching as she did. Judy was busy picking her clothes off the floor when she heard the bedroom door creak open. She turned to see Nick step in with a huge platter in his paws. He wore nothing but a pair of baggy pajama pants, leaving his chest exposed. On the platter stood two big stacks of pancakes and two glasses of orange juice. The sight took Judy by surprise.

"Where are you going?" Nick asked with a smile as he set the platter on the nightstand beside the bed. "You should relax a bit, there's nothing to do."

He quickly slid onto the bed and pulled Judy into his arms.

"Nick, stop." Judy giggled as Nick held her back and threw the covers over them. Judy struggled jokingly against him, but it was no use.

"Don't get up." Nick warned. "Your muscles are sensitive. The doctor told you to not overwork them."

Judy turned and faced Nick with a cheesy smile. "I guess I'm stuck in bed with you then." She whispered.

Nick pulled her in closer, her chest pressed up against his, her nose held up to his. The pain in Judy's muscles suddenly evaporated. She felt Nick's heartbeat speed up as excitement filled his body. She thought his heart might jump right out of him.

"I guess you are." He answered quietly before firmly placing his lips on hers. For a while, only warmth and happiness surrounded them. It was as if the horrors of yesterday had completely faded from their minds. Life almost seemed normal.

Nick's lips began to trail off, moving down Judy's neck. He spun the two of them around so that Judy was on her back with Nick hovering above her. He brought his head down to Judy's chest, pushing her loose t shirt aside with his snout. He used his free paw to get under the shirt, slowly starting to pull it off.

Just as things were about to get interesting, Judy let out a loud groan, followed by the rumble of her stomach. She curled up into a ball, clutching her empty stomach.

"You know I love you, and I love... this," She said with an uneasy voice. "but if I don't eat now, I'm going to die."

"Ok, if you insist. But you're missing out." Nick said with a sigh before placing a last kiss on her forehead and turning to get the platter. "We wouldn't want you to starve, now would we?"

Judy sat up and readjusted her shirt as Nick flipped down four little feet under the platter and placed it on the bed in front of them.

"There." He said triumphantly as he began to pour syrup on his pancake stack. "A meal fit for kings."

They both dug in, enjoying their food. Nick figured Judy must have been pretty hungry since she hadn't eaten in a long time. But she was absolutely inhaling her food and wasn't afraid to show it.

"You might want to slow it down, Carrots." Nick noted. "You don't want to get a cramp."

Judy swallowed the bit of food left in her mouth before answering. "But it's so good, and I haven't eaten in forever. I can't stop. Plus, the doctor said I burnt a lot of calories yesterday, so I need to get that back with food."
