Sorry that I haven't been online a lot on here lately, but I have been REALLY busy with writing these chapters before hand. :)
Oh, the next three or so chapters will also be some of the longest within this fanfiction, so my bad for writing big chunks, but I don't mind it if someone comes up with a way to help me split them up equally whilst I work on the future chapters ;) heheh lol :P
And without further ado...
ENJOY!! :D
----------------------------------
It was almost midnight when they finally reached Judy’s home. It didn’t look to Nick like it could hold all of her family inside. Boy was he mistaken.
After a heartwarming face-to-face with her parents, he was surprised how they didn’t react the way he thought they would to him being a fox, until he heard about Gideon Grey being a work partner. He noticed Judy look away briefly, but didn’t say or do anything.
“We’re glad she showed us not to judge a mammal by their species.” He remembers her father, Stu, saying when they finally pulled up to the small hill they called a home, whilst Judy spoke with her mother, Bonnie, about something farm or family related, he couldn’t tell. They sat in the lounge afterwards, but Nick had to lay his head on Judy’s lap as his legs are draped over the other end of the couch.
She began scratching behind his ears after she notices his smile falter a little bit, making him close his eyes and smile warmly. It’s only as they start talking about how she doesn’t visit enough, when Nick begins making a noise come from his chest whilst his eyes are closed.
Both Bonnie and Stu stopped right in their tracks, looking like they’d seen a ghost. Judy looked at them accusingly, then smiled. She continued to scratch behind his ears as she motioned with her other hand to them.
“Mom, dad, it’s fine.” Judy says, scratching the fur just behind and between Nick’s ears. She motions for them to sit back down, which they do. She speaks before they get to ask. “It’s okay, he’s just purring. You’ve never heard a mammal purr before?”
They both shake their heads, but Bonnie at least attempts to smile back at her. She spots something click inside her mother’s mind.
“Stu, it’s okay.” She turns to her husband, as she places a paw on his arm quickly. “Calm down. It’s making a bad example.” Bonnie briefly looks at a small number of teenage kits who appeared to be mingling around the door.
Nick continues to purr at Judy’s touch, as some of the teenage bunnies make their way to the kitchen for a quick drink before leaving, whilst three stay behind. Junipa, Feia and Clark Hopps all sit around the lounge area, hoping to stick around for a while. The room is quiet as Judy continues to massage the fox’s fur around his head.
“Kids, why don’t you go show them to the guest room for Nic-?” Stu turns back to his wife after having his lips covered by her paw. Nick’s purring has changed a little, but he’s still purring nonetheless.
“Stu, be quiet. look!” She whispers, with a grin on her face. Judy has a slightly dazed look on her face, before realising Nick’s fallen asleep on her lap.
“Huh. Well then.” She speaks quietly, patting his shoulder closest to her side softly, as she leans into her hand, her elbow leaning on the arm of the couch. She begins humming a theme to one of her favourite songs that she secretly knows he likes.
She slowly strokes his fur, as her parents and siblings watch the exchange together. His purring continues to rumble from his chest, his smile making her smile as well. Juniper decides to speak up.
