Epilogue

Nick stared at the drink in his hand happily. Alex's house certainly had a large pool area. It was often when Nick, Judy and David would all come to hang out. Age had done Nick and Judy well; their child had grown loved and in ways admired as a miracle. There had been hatred but little David had never let it affect the fact that he was so loved.

Alex had been made Godfather, and even though Nick would like to not admit it he had been a very close friend to David throughout the years. Not that Nick had been a bad father; far from it. He loved his son beyond belief. And he would love his daughter just as much. As he watched David in the pool, his red fur, though admittedly quite darker than Nick's, glistening in the water. "He's grown." Alex commented.

Nick chuckled and sipped his cocktail. " He has. Just like you've grown into a sentimental fool."

Alex chuckled. "I may have grown into one but I haven't always been one. That's to say something."

"You're not as smart as you used to be. Love has taken away your wits." Nick was of course only joking around. But he remembered the days when Alex was an invincible mentality. He didn't truly think that Alex had lost his wits, he'd just become more humane as Judy had put it 13 years ago.

Alex stared fondly at his husband in the distance, who was enjoying the warm summer month. "My dear Nick, you fail to understand. It doesn't matter if I'm not as smart as I once were as long as I'm still smarter than everyone else." He got up and went to join his husband.

Nick laughed and went to sit by Judy. "How's the little one?" he asked.

Judy laughed. "Oh, she's going to have a career in football this one. She's bruised my kidney more than I care to admit." Nick smiled and ran his hand over Judy's grown belly gently.

"Who would've known, after thirteen years finally another child." He sighed. "David is beside himself with joy, of course."

"He's a gentle soul. He'll enjoy having a little sister." Judy sighed. "I just wish we could have had more children."

"Well," Nick put his paw over Judy's "like it or not you married me. You're stuck with me. And that includes a limited number of children."

Judy laughed. "Dumb fox." She said and kissed Nick quickly.

He blinked rapidly. Then he chuckled. "Sly bunny."

~ The End ~

=Author's Notes=

So, at last it is over. I know this was short, but it feels perfect to me. A good epilogue, good closure. I had mentioned that the last two chapters were epilogues, so don't say I didn't warn you.

If any of you are wondering why I asked for reviews so much, it is because this is my last fanfiction. It has about 20 thousand views (without counting what this chapter will bring) and it makes me happy. However, when I look back at this fanfiction, I'd like to see that it also had a lot of reviews. The true achievement lies in finishing it, but reviews also are an achievement. It took me hours, days, even weeks to write all of this story, all 29 thousand words of it, and it would take you about ten-seconds to leave a review. I already have 90, reaching over a hundred would be a very proud achievement for me.

To those who have reviewed regularly "Purestrongpoem", "JGgirl" and many others, I would love to hear your full-thoughts of this story in this final review.

This story isn't perfect. Far from it, it has its flaws and many of them, but I think it is a good story and I am proud of it.

My final goodbye;

Last October I started writing fanfiction very abruptly. An idea that was very sudden grew in me and I wrote extremely fast, nailing down over 60 thousand words in a single month. Of course, it was sloppy and quickly-written, but it was fanfiction so I didn't mind. Still, in these nine months I learnt a lot. I learned how hard it is to write, how much will-power is required, dedication. I learned to respect deadlines even though they were hard. Even if I set my own deadlines. I do not regret it, in fact it has taught me that I needn't have doubt, being a writer is what I want to do with my life. It is not easy nor something to brag about because it is extremely uncertain as a life choice, but it is what makes me happy. My advice to all of you is;

Follow your dreams. Even if they are visually impossible and nobody would approve. If you are happy, and you harm no one, then follow your dreams, whatever they may be.
