Nick Judy Kid Times

An Old Friend

The Zootopia maximum security prison was not a fun place to be. Constant fights would erupt, only for the inmates to be given a nasty shock by their tame collars. Three edible meals a day, lights out at nine thirty, and all of it done on a constant monitored loop. Day in, day out.

For assistant Mayor Dawn Bellweather, it was not a fun way to live, but she deserved it. Being the mastermind behind the savage Nighthowler attacks, not many of the predators in the jail got along too well with her. She didn't care. She already had nobody to visit her, not even her parents. Bellweather was all alone for the next twenty years.

As she reads the daily magazine, her cell door swings open and the bear security guard orders her out. She had a surprise visitor. Bellweather was perplexed, who did she know that would want to visit her? She adjusted her glasses, stepped out of her cell,and allowed the bear to escort her to the visitor's room. She glances at the bland painted walls and pipes. Simple beige. The concrete shifting to a spotted white tile floor. The flood lights shining above their heads as they walked down the narrow corridor. A bland sight she would have to get comfortable seeing.

The bear pushes the door, and Bellweather steps inside. She scans the room to see anyone that she knew, but only saw inmates conversing with their friends and loved ones. But then her ear picks up her name being called in a familiar voice, and her eyes are met with two very familiar animals sitting at a table. Nick and Judy. Bellweather was speechless and confused. They were so happy, or rather Judy was so happy. Why would they want to visit her, especially after she tried to kill them? With no other choice, she takes an awkward seat opposite of the two cops.

"Wha-what are you doing here, Judy?" she asked.

Nick placed a paw around her shoulder as she spoke. "Well we wanted to visit you, because I made a promise to you, Dawn." Bellweather was even more confused. A promise? She thinks back to the first day she met Judy, which was actually by chance. They met in a little smoothie shop when she was just starting in the academy. They became good friends ever since, sharing stories, going shopping, having talks. Judy could honestly say that Bellweather was a really good friend. One that she hasn't had in a while. "Remember that conversation we had about if we had kids?" Dawn recollects. They did talk about that. They said if they were to ever have children that they would introduce them to the other. Her eyes go wide from the question. Did that mean?...

"Y-yesss? Judy, did you...with him?" a small grin creeps on Judy's face. She looks at Nick, who reaches down and lifts something onto the steel table; two baby carriages. She reaches in for a moment, and gently pulls out her two week old bunny kits. Nick does the same, lifting the tiny fox pup out of his seat, nestling him gently in his elbow crease. Bellweather's eyes shoot wide, and her pupils dilate as she focuses her attention on the little babies. She felt her heart warm up, a sensation she hasn't felt since she was arrested.

"Dawn, I would like you to meet Alex, Johanna, and Peter."

She gestured the babies in her direction for a better view. Bellweather was unbelievably happy for her. She obtained their shared dream. To have children, a loving husband, all of it. She places her innocent hooves out in request to hold one of the kits. Judy hesitates for a moment, before agreeing. Bellweather gently lifts Johanna out of her arms. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes as she glanced down at the peacefully sleeping bunny in her purple flower print sleeper. She stroked her soft cheek, and Johanna began to open her eyes. They were a beautiful shade of caramel brown as she looked at the sheep. Johanna blinked, and an adorable toothless smile spread across her beige cheeks. Bellweather gave a heartwarming smile back, and looks at Judy.

"She is so beautiful. Congratulations Judy." The bunny gave her a generous nod, taking back her daughter from her friend's arms. They share a momentary gaze before the shrill sound of her name being called signaled that her time was up.

The couple put the babies back in the carriages, and they stand. "Well, it was nice seeing you again, Bellweather. Maybe if you behave, you can get out early and we can hang out again." she smiled. Bellweather takes off her glasses to wipe the tears from her eyes. With a sniff, she places a hoof on the bunny's shoulder and gives yet another heartwarming smile.

"Maybe. Well I'll see you later. Bye Judy."

"Bye."

The smile did not leave her cheeks as she was escorted through the corridors once again. Bellweather kept that in her mind. Behave, and maybe she will get out. Maybe she will have a husband and kids one day. Maybe one day she would be as happy as her only friend in this world. But all of that would have to wait, because right now it was lunch time.
