Hey all! Sorry for such a long wait. Life gets crazy sometimes! I just want to say thank you all for following and enjoying this story. It's been a fun first for me and there will definitely be more stories to come. Now for the conclusion of Being Human. =)

oOo

The next morning Nick was practically skipping around the small, hotel kitchenette, he was in such a good mood. Judy was suspicious and even slightly worried.

"Someone has a spring in their step," Judy joked sipping her coffee as she watched her usually cool, sly fox, act like a hyper teenager.

All he did was wink at her in response, and continued his goofy behavior, a grin plastered on his face.

Judy peered at him suspiciously but didn't continue to pry. He had come home last night in the very same mood but Judy wasn't able to get even a hint out of him as to what he was upto.

There was a knock on the door, and Judy jumped slightly, not expecting any visitors. She looked at Nick, who only glanced back at her before making his way to the door.

He stopped midway.

"Ya know what Carrots….why don't you answer it?" he said, then stepped out of the way to clear her path.

"Me?" she asked surprised, "What? Why? What exactly are you upto?" she squinted her eyes and stared down the fox like a mother who knows their child has done something troublesome.

Another knock at the door broke her stare.

Nick rolled his eyes. "Jesus Carrots, don't you trust me?" he lowered his gaze and smirked at her, revealing the cunning and attractive side of Nick she was much more accustomed to. "Or are ya scared, little bunny?"

Well that did it.

Judy gave a little "hmph," then straightened her posture and made her way to the front door. She turned to look back at Nick with an expression that said 'I'm not afraid of anything,' then swung the door open and gasped.

Oh my god…she thought, as she felt tears fighting to spill from her eyes.

Her head whipped back at Nick who had his arms crossed looking incredibly pleased with himself.

She turned back to the doorway.

"Mom?...Dad?" she questioned, trying to confirm what she was seeing in front of her.

Standing before her in the doorway was two adult humans, but Judy still knew her parents anywhere. She knew their grey hair, her father's bad taste in clothing, dirty farmers hat, and how only her mother could look at her like she herself was about to burst into tears.

"Oh Judy!" her mom cried out before enveloping her daughter in the biggest hug of her life.

"But…but…how?" Judy could barely speak, completely overwhelmed.

"Nick came and got us last night." Her mother replied.

"Yeah, that crazy fox was banging on our door at 1am, yelling all about portals, and being able to see you." Nick chuckled in the background.

"We couldn't let our own daughter go through all this alone. You're having a baby! I'm going to be a gran-bunny Stu! You'll need lots of help" Judy's mom was clearly delighted at her daughter finally starting her own family.

Judy couldn't believe any of this. I can't believe Nick did this for me. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to any of them, and now….Now I don't have to feel so alone here.

"What about all my brothers and sisters?" Judy asked concerned.

"Nick said we can go back and forth. We won't stay here permanently but we can come visit and help out as often as you need us." Her mother beamed.

Judy laughed out loud, pulling her parents into a warm hug, much like the moment she left for Zootopia. "That's right," Judy whispered. "You can go back and forth. Dr. Skunk just recently found that out, but with the baby-" Judy cut herself short and put her hand over her stomach. "I'm not sure….I'm not sure if I can ever…"

"We know honey. Nick told us everything. It's okay though! We can still all be here for you." Judy teared up and looked back at Nick who was silently watching the scene from the other side of the room with joy painted on his face. "Thank you" she whispered to him.

"Can't believe Jude the Dude is gonna marry a fox." Stu said, interrupting Nick and Judy's moment. "I went and got my shotgun soon as he told us he knocked you up."

"Stu!" Bonnie yelled and smacked him.

"What!? I didn't shoot him! He made it all right." Bonnie crossed her arms looked at him unamused.

Judy giggled, and pulled herself away from her parents making her way over to Nick.

"I love you. Thank you. This means the world to me."

"I love you too. Gotta make sure my little bunny is happy." He smiled and pulled her into his embrace, giving her a soft quick kiss.

"Ya know what? For what first time in my life I feel like I really am. I usually don't know when to quit…. But right now, I feel like I can relax and settle down for a bit." She hugged Nick and smiled over at her parents as Nick lovingly kissed the top of her head.

"Silly bunny."

"Sly fox."

EPILOGUE

It was a beautiful day in Central Park. It seemed everyone was out with their pets and families, enjoying the warm spring weather.

Near one of the ponds, standing off by a cluster of trees and bushes stood six adults and kids all chatting incessantly.

Among them was a beautiful young woman, nearing her mid thirties, with long silver hair and purple eyes, going through a large bag she had with her as she spoke to what looked like a younger version of herself. Her younger self was almost a spitting image of her mother, in her early teens, but her long hair donned a beautiful red hue, and she stood there with her arms crossed looking at her mother unamused, with half lidded eyes.

"I'll be fine mom! I got this." She said confidently, gently taking the bag from her mother's hands as her mom ranted off the list of things she packed for her.

"Ugh, just like your father." Judy said, as she let her daughter take the bag from her.

"Like me!?" A tall, red headed man said from behind her as he tried to peel a wild, silver haired, 8 year old boy off of his leg. "I believe YOU'RE the defiant one. You're the one who never knows when to quit."

Judy gave a small "hmph," and turned to her husband. "Yes but you are the one who –"

"Alright you two, let's not waste any more time." laughed Bonnie, used to the loving bickering that often happened between Nick and Judy. "I'm not getting any younger!" she joked again, standing next to Stu. They both had aged and now donned white hair instead of grey. Over the years Judy had noticed Stu and Bonnie were slowly down a bit physically, but mentally they were still the parents she adored.

"Come here Carrot-Top" Nick said, reaching to embrace his daughter in a hug.

"Daaaaad, you know I hate that nick-name!" she whined and willingly hugged him back. He just laughed at her complaint, and squeezed her tightly. "I know. I know. I love you Jess."

She hugged him back "Love you too Daddy." She said, letting a hint of emotion creep into her voice.

"Dr. Skunk. I know I've asked you a million times, but you are SURE this is going to work?" Judy asked slightly worried.

"Yes, yes of course," the older man, donning now peppered black and white hair, replied. "We've been working with this portal for thirteen years now. All the animals we have been able to save, and rehab here we have been able to send to Zootopia for better lives. There has never been a problem transferring life between worlds. It just come through in another form. I'm not exactly sure what kind of animal Jess here will be, but she will be okay, that I am positive of. Besides…" he continued, looking at Jess with admiration as he put his arm around Mrs. Skunk's shoulders. "I would never do anything that would put our god-daughter in harms way."

Judy sighed, happy with his response, and looked at her little girl who was now so grown up. Tears started to form in her eyes.

"Oh no mom, please don't cry." Said Jess. "You're gonna make me cry." As her own tears started forming.

"See? Just like her mother." Nick whispered to Stu, making sure he was out of earshot. Stu just chuckled in response.

"It's not like I'm going forever! Just for the summer! To learn about Zootopia and stay with Gran-bunny and Gran-papi."

"I know, I know….Summer just feels like such a long time. I would go with you but…" Judy glanced down at her still flat stomach, laying a hand on it.

"I know! You gotta keep my new baby sister safe." Jess said, winking at her mother in a very Nick-like fashion. "And dad and Dr. Skunk still have a lot of work to do here with the exotic animal sanctuary their opening, and all their success among the no-kill shelters." Judy just nodded at her daughter with a smile on her face. She reached out and smoothed down her bright red hair and Jess jumped into her mother's arms, hugging her lovingly. "I love you mom."

"I love you too."

"Ready to go dear?" Bonnie asked, as Dr. Skunk activated the portal.

"Yes! I can't wait to see what it's like being an animal over being human." On the count of three Bonnie, Stu and Jess held hands and leapt through the portal together.

Judy held back a sob, and Nick slid his arm around Judy as their son continued to let out his energy by running circles around him.

"What do you think she'll be?" Judy asked.

"I dunno, something beautiful, just like her mother." He replied looking at her with love. He glanced back down at their son. "This one, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure is going to be a Fennec Fox."

Judy chuckled at the truth of his joke, and leaned into his side.

"I'm gonna miss her." Judy whispered.

"Me too….but you've been a great mom. I think we raised a good one. After all that chaos that brought us here, I'm glad we decided to have her. I'm glad we chose to stay here, and be together, and are happy being human."

"Me too." She said, then reached up and kissed him as they made their way home, ready to start at work on the new nursery.

oOo

The End! Thanks everyone! I hope you enjoyed! There is potential for a sequel with Jess and being an animal. We shall see!
