Bliss before Chaos [ON HOLD]

Chapter 8: New ground

Judy's P.O.V.

As I stare at my dad's shocked expression, an idea pops into my head. "Nick has a good singing voice and I'm at least decent. Maybe I could get him too sing with me sometime?" I shake my head at the idea and make a mental note to ask later. "Judy.." my dad begins, hesitant. "Yes?" I ask, more than slightly annoyed. "Judy..... He's a fox. And-" "OH MY GOD!!" I shout, cutting him off. Behind me, I hear Nick whimper slightly. I don't usually get this angry about things. "Nick's not going too hurt anyone or do anything bad. Nick's a good, no, great mammal dad" I say, my voice teetering on the edge of breaking. "And he would NEVER lay a claw on me." "Unless I ask him too" the sudden thought makes me blush a light pink. My dad just stares at me then shakes his head "Judy, may Nick and I speak alone for a moment?" He asks. I nod and walk inside.

Nick's P.O.V

"No Judy! Don't leave me!!" I think, willing myself into having telepathy, though my attempts fail. I just look at Mr. Hopps and then back at the house, becoming suddenly interested in a chip in the paint. After a few minutes I figure he's waiting for me to speak "Look, Mr. Hopps.." he holds up his paw and I go silent "I'm...sorry" he manages to say, then walks inside, shutting the door behind him quietly.
A few moments later, Judy stepped outside and walks up to me, smiling her pretty smile "Why so happy fluff?" I ask her, a smile starting forming on my face. She turns to me and smirks "Wouldn't you like to know, foxy" she says in a playful tone. I force my face to go to stone, a grim line taking the place of my smile "Whatever fluff" I say, pretending not to care. She starts to look worried "Nick, I was jus-" I break into a grin "Just messing with ya? I know carrots, turn about is fair play" I smirk, causing Judy too giggle a little "I'm just glad you two are getting along now, somewhat" she says. "Carrots all he did was kinda apologise for things. But I agree, a step in a good direction" I smile. "C'mon, let's head inside, I'm kinda tired" I walk inside, paw in paw with Judy.

Judy's P.O.V

Nick and I walk inside and head upstairs, towards our rooms. When we reach are rooms, I smile and turn to Nick "Hey foxy?" I say, my smile getting a bit bigger. He turns to me "I was thinking. Do you maybe wanna, I don't know, umm...." I blush and take a breath "share a room?" I say quietly, hoping he doesn't hear so I can say nevermind. Instead, he leans over and kisses the top of my head "I'd love too carrots" he smiles at me then walks into his room, getting his things and walks into mine. "I don't know why I was so nervous. We've slept in the same bed together before. It's your parents house Judy, that's why. Oh yeah" I smile and walk into the room, closing the door behind me.
