JudyXNick New Family

New replacements

6:30 a.m. Bonnie rises up from her guest bedroom that Judy offered her when they got in late from the hospital. As, she closes the door behind her Bonnie quickly heard what sounded like to be whimpering. "Judy," she said as she walks across the hall to her daughter's bedroom door. As she opens the door, first thing she noticed was the bed that Nick and Judy shared was empty and it would seem as if it wasn't slept in at all. "Bun-Bun," Bonnie said softly as she looks over the room. As she closes the door her ears catches the sound of whimpering again coming from the living room. As Bonnie emerge from the hallway she spotted Judy oh the couch snuggled up in a blanket slightly tossing and turning in her sleep. As she goes to wake her daughter she gets hesitate as she hears Judy mumbled Nicks name in her sleep. "Judy... Judy sweetie wake up," she said sounding a tad heartbroken.

Judy slowly began to open her eyes. "Oh, hey good morning mom," Judy said with no emotion as she sits up right rubbing her eyes.

"Judith... I take it that you chose not to sleep in your bed last night?," she questioned as she takes a seat next to her daughter placing a paw on her back. Judy didn't answer but then immediately Bonnie got her answer noticing Judy ears began to drop.

"I... I couldn't bring myself to sleep in my bed alone with that...empty space next to me I mean I tried but the moment I climbed on that bed and didn't feel Nick next to me It kind of freaked me out."

Bonnie look at her daughter with sympathetic eyes...but quickly shifted into worry. "Judith Laverne Hopps look at me."

"Huh, what?!" Judy replies startled.

Bonnie put her paws on Judy's face feeling her features.

"Mom what are you doing? This is a bit weird." She said chuckling awkwardly.

"How much did you sleep last night?," Bonnie said as she pulled her paws from Judy's face.

Judy hesitant to answer her mother question reached for her phone to check the time now being 6:34 a.m. as Judy places her phone back on the coffee table she slowly pulls her legs up on the couch hugging her legs to her chest with her head facing away from her mother.

"Judith answer me." Bonnie demand as she folded her arms.

"2 hours," Judy responded under her breath.

Come again I didn't catch that.

"2 hours" she responded again under her breath but a bit rougher.

"Judith stop mumbling and-"

"2 Hours I slept for 2 hours okay mom!" Judy said abruptly turning to face her mother again.

"Only 2... Judy don't you have to work today how do you expect to work with so little sleep. In fact what time does your shift start?"

Judy sighs before she replied with a tired voice getting off the couch, "In 30 minutes."

Bonnie sighs following her daughter toward the kitchen. "Judy if that's the case why don't you just take the day off and rest you need it for carrot' sake."

Judy sighs again as she takes a stepping stool obviously meet for her. Placing it on the floor near a part of the kitchen counter top a foot taller than her to reach the coffeemaker Nick bought a half a year ago when he and Judy started leaving together. "Mom believe me I would love nothing more to stay home and get more sleep but...there's a lot on my mind and besides I sent in an email saying I would be an hour late to Clawhauser so there shouldn't be to much of an issue."

"Bun-Bun I know you love your job but-"

"Mom!" Judy said cutting her mother off sounding a bit grumpy, "I appreciate that you worried about me but I really would appreciate work...for the distraction, so I won't think of the negatives of Nick waking up with no memory."
