A/N: It's finally that time for some WildeHopps. The reason why it took so long because… Mother's day. I was waiting for that time of the year so I can make Nick's mom special in this story. Take note that this story takes part after Trust Issues, while Max is out from Zootopia. Take not again, that this story will likely end ON Mother's day. Enjoy.

Summary: After the Robin Hood incident, our heroes has returned to Zootopia with their names cleared. Nick realizes that Mother's day begins soon and decided to go visit his mom. Of course, he was planning to bring his favorite bunny cop along.

It has been almost a week now after the Robin Hood case. The fox and bunny team were clearing up the case files from their investigation. Well, mostly Judy. Nick, instead, was texting Max, wishing him the best of luck to return as soon as he can.

"Nick," Judy said. "You seriously need to stop texting at work all the time. Can't you see that we're trying to close up this case?"

"I would if I have the strength too but…" He pointed at his bandaged arm. "I can barely work."

"The doctors said you should heal by now," Judy said, dropping a pile of papers. "Are you trying to play it off?"

Nick smirked and turned himself and the chair around. "Maybe."

Judy shook her head and turned him back around to face her. She then slapped his 'injured' arm.

"Ow," he said softly. His eyebrows raised when he realized. "I mean… OW! That hurts!"

Judy smirked and unwrapped the bandages. "I thought so."

The fox frowned and raised his arms. "Okay, okay, you got me, officer," he said calmly. "I'm guilty."

Judy's smirk stayed on her face, her eyelids half closed. She pulled his tie and their noses touched each other. Nick stared at her awkwardly. Judy was being… Assertive, as he called it.

"Get…" she said, moving her fingers on his arm softly which made him shiver a bit. "To…" She held his face. "Work!" She then pulled back and an angry look formed on her.

Nick's ears dropped and he saluted. "Y-yes, ma'am!" he said, nervously and quickly starts his side of the work. Nick has never seen her so… Dominant before. Especially when she started teasing him like that.

Judy sighed and shook her head again. She walked pass him and opened the door to their office. "I'm gonna get something to drink," she said, looking back at him. "You want anything?"

Nick gulped and shook his head nervously.

Judy smiled. "Sorry about that. But I was serious too. You can't always let me do all the work." Silence for a few seconds. "I'll get you some coffee." And with that, she closed the door.

Nick sighed after thinking about what she said. She was right though. All this time she has been the one to do most of the work. He never once thought about himself doing some.

Just as he was thinking, Nick received a text from Max. He opened it. It read: "Mother's Day is coming soon. You planning to see your mom?"

Mother's day… The one special day for mothers around the world. It HAS been a while since Nick spoke with his mother in mammal (person). Besides Judy, she was the only one that he would tell everything to. Like how he finally became a police officer and how he started dating Judy. He even told her that he loves Judy even though she was… a 'natural enemy'.

He chuckled and shook his head from that though. 'Natural enemies'? He was thinking of Romeo and Juliet now and he finds it farfetched. He looked up on the ceiling, thinking and finally made up his mind.

He texted back to Max: "Good idea. Will bring Carrots along too."

He smiled at his answer. Judy has already brought him to see her folks. Now it was his turn to show her his.

"Ahem…" Judy cleared her throat.

Nick looked up and found Judy standing in front of him with two cups of coffee. "It's…! It's not like that!" he persisted.

A grim smile appeared on Judy's face. "I thought… I told you…"

Nick quickly covered her mouth. "I know! But I swear I just started!"

She looked at him with a frown as he slowly pulled back his paw. She paused there and sighed, placing a cup of coffee on his desk. "Here," she said.

She then walked back to her desk.

Nick smiled at her gift and glanced at her before turning back to his work. "Hey, Carrots," he spoke up while working. She just stayed quiet but was listening. "Do you think you're free for the week?"

"Nick," she said, sighing. "I thought you promised to not take anymore day offs."

"I know but, it's for a good cause. Mother's day is coming and… I was… Thinking if…" He rubbed the back of his neck. "You'd like to… Meet my mother."

She turned to him, her expression turned into a surprise face.

"I've…" Nick looking down, still rubbing the back of his neck. "I've told her about you to her before. It's just that, I feel like I should go see her after for so long now. And… I thought that maybe… You'd like to come? I've already met YOUR family after all."

Judy smiled and face the computer monitor. "I would love to," she said.

"Really?" His face brightened up.

"If Bogo allows it, that is. But, I'm sure he'll understand."

Nick sighed. "Buffalo butt, huh?"

"Eeyup." She nodded. "But I suggest you ask after work. I'm sure he's busy right now after all we've been through."

Nick nodded and goes back to his work. The sun went down slowly, the clouds cleared from the sky as it bathes in the color orange. The fox stood up and stretched his arms up, getting his back straight. He was exhausted from all the work and it was really hurting his back. He turned to the rabbit.

"You want me to wait?" he asked.

"Oh, no need," she said. "I have to file in a few more on this case file. Apparently, there's been a mugger in Savannah Central. Can you believe that?"

Nick chuckled and kissed her on the head. "I'll see you back home then," he said.

She looked at him and stood up, giving him a kiss on the cheek while pulling on to his tie. "I'll be back as soon as I can," she said softly.

Nick nodded and walked out the office. He then went to Bogo's office and knocked on the door. "Hey, Chief?" Nick called. "You got a minute?"

"Come in," Bogo replied.

Nick opened the door and closed it behind him. Bogo looked up from his desk and lowered his glasses.

"What is it, Wilde?" he asked, arranging some papers.

"Well, you see," Nick started. "I was thinking maybe… I could use a day off?"

The chief facepalmed and sighed. "For the last time, Wilde," he said. "No more breaks. Unless there is of course a good reason to it."

"Oh there is. You see, Mother's day is coming and I was thinking of visiting my mother for the week. And I was planning to bring Carrots along as well."

Bogo frowned at him and took off his glasses. "And when is it that you wanted to pay a visit?"

"I'd say…" Nick looked away, scratching the fur on his cheek. "In 3 days?"

Bogo sighed. "Well… See is that you and Hopps got yourselves involve in one of the most oldest case, I will consider this. After all…" He stood up from his seat. "You did manage to capture a member of the Robin Hood. And to think he was actually one of us all this time."

Nick smiled and saluted. "Thank you, sir!"

"But! If I find out you were lying about your mother…" he said with a threatening glare. "Just kidding." He smirked.

Nick laughed nervously, relief that it was just a joke. Bogo knew Nick was not going to lie something important as this. Nick may be a fox, but he's no liar anymore. Well… Sort of. From time to time that is.

The fox nodded and leaves the office with respect. While walking back home, he decided to make a call.

"Hey, mom…" he said. "Will you be free for the week?"

Few hours later, Judy returned home. She had to limp her way back and keep her eyes open all the way home. She even went for a nap in the train on the way. She grabbed the doorknob and tiredly turned it, pushing the door open.

"Nick…" she called, yawning. "I'm home."

Luckily, Nick was still awake. He turned around to her from his phone. "Hey, Carrots," he said. "You're late."

Judy chuckled and sat on the couch next to him. She cuddled him and rest her head on his chest. "Sorry…" she said, still exhausted. "I didn't realize that there were so many more. At least you didn't have to wait for me there."

Nick rubbed her head and smiled. "I got approval," he said.

"For what…?"

"To meet my mom."

She looked up at him and she gave a weak smile. "Really?"

He nodded. "And you're coming with me," he said, giving a kiss on her head.

She put her head back down on his chest with the smile still kept on her face. "I can't wait…" She yawned and closed her eyes.

"Awww… Is the bunny already sleepy?"

She giggled with her eyes still closed. "Shut up…" She lazily sat up and stretched herself a little. "I'm gonna go take a shower… Meet you in bed?"

"Oh ho, you know I will," he said with a sly smile and a smug look.

She smiled and shook her head in annoyance. "Dumb fox," she muttered.

They had to wait 3 days to find replacements for them in the meantime. However it took 2 days instead and Bogo was already prepared for them to take their leave. Judy can't wait to meet Nick's mother. She's heard him talked about her from time to time. The first time was when he talked about how he wanted to be a ranger scout. It was the first time when Nick actually expressed his true self to her.

She knew that Nick's mother must be a great vixen. Especially when she was still sticking with him even though he started hustling. Now that she thought about it, she wondered if he ever DID tell her about him turning into a sly, shifty fox after he was living alone.

The couple decided to leave for the evening. Mrs. Wilde should live not far from where they're living after all. Unlike Judy's family, Nick's mother has lived in Zootopia for a long time now. But he has been living alone by himself after he was all grown up.

"So you're telling me, your mother didn't know you were selling pawpsicles?" Judy said to Nick. They were on their way to her apartment in a cab.

"Oh, she knew. She thought it was a hobby though. She thought I became a… Role model or something like that."

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"I… I couldn't okay?" He looked out on his left side of the window. "There's no way I want her to find out about what I've been doing last time… Besides…" He turned back to Judy. "She was really happy that I became a police officer too. And to top it off, she was even happier when I told her about you."

Judy looked at him. "Was she… Surprised to hear I was a bunny?"

"Not at all. After all, she's met Max's parents who are wolves. So she doesn't mind me dating anyone from a different species."

Judy smiled. She touched his paw which made him turned to it. "She sounds nice…" she said with a smile.

Nick smiled back. "She IS nice…"

The cab pulled over at a stop sign. Nick looked out. "You can stop here," he said. "We can walk to the place."

"If you say so," said the antelope driver.

Nick paid the fare and the couple got off with their bags. They wanted to stay in the place for a few days. Judy actually loved the idea because she finally got to meet his family. But then, a thought struck her.

"Speaking of family," she said, walking. "What about your dad?"

"My dad?" Nick thought for a while. "He… Left us when I was really young. I don't actually remembered why."

(Time to pause here. Before you guys start judging, just to let you know that Byron Howard and Rich Moore said that Nick's mother is a single mother. And that they DON'T KNOW what to say about Nick's father. They use to name him John Wilde but it was abandoned when they had other thoughts. All they said that Nick's mom is a single mother and that maybe Nick's dad left them earlier before he could remember anything. Howeve, is NOT canon though. They just say it was a thought. The only thing canon was that she's still alive and is still living in the same apartment that she raised Nick. Anyway, back to the story.)

Judy's ears dropped and she looked at Nick. He didn't seem sad about it. Maybe it was because he really didn't know his father at all? The rabbit decided to ignore the question and followed her boyfriend.

"Ah, here we are," Nick said walking up the porch. He opened the door and they found themselves in a rather narrow hallway with the stairs on their right. They walk up it carefully. Judy looked around. It seems so quiet. But it would make sense since it was already late. And that everyone was already asleep.

Nick then turned to a wooden door on his left with the number 9 hanging on it. He knocked on the door softly.

Judy, with her good ears heard someone walking towards the door. The door was unlocked and opened slowly. And out comes a vixen that looked in her 50s.

"Oh my…" she said softly before opening the door completely. Nick smiled and hugged her.

"Sorry we're late, mom…" he said softly.

Judy smiled at the scene.

The vixen turned to the bunny and let her son go. "And this must be Judy," she said, walking towards her. "Nick talked a lot about you ever since he became a police officer."

Judy giggled. "Did he now?" she said, glancing at Nick. The tod shrugged innocently.

"Come in, you two," she said, walking back in the room. "Both of you must be tired. Especially when you just came home from work."

Nick picked up his back and let his girlfriend before he followed behind her, locking the door.

Judy looked around the place. It was a rather medium-size room. There were only two rooms too. The wallpaper on the walls are the same color and pattern as Nick's green Hawaiian shirt that he usually wears. There was a sliding door type window in front of her with a balcony outside and a bay window on the right.

The moment she stepped, she was standing right next to the kitchen on her left with the living in front of her. The kitchen only had a long counter against the wall with the stoves and sink in between and the refrigerator literally right next to her. Beside the sliding door window was the television and a red comfy couch. The bedroom was on her right, right behind the living room and to the right of the kitchen. In front of the kitchen was an empty room left opened which was literally right next to the living room on the left.

The place looked so simple yet so… Unique.

"Make yourself at home, sweetie," said Mrs. Wilde with a smile, going to the kitchen. "Would you two like something to drink?"

"Anything will do, mom," Nick said. He turned to Judy. "I'm gonna go unpack. I'll help out with yours too." He gave her a kiss on the head, took her baggage and went into the empty room.

Judy looked around some more and then out the window. But all she could see were other buildings in the way and the streets right below her. It felt kind of grey but she didn't mind.

"It's a very nice place, ma'am," she said politely.

"Nicholas grew up here after all," said the vixen, bringing a tray with a teapot and cups.

Judy walked towards her and helped carry the tray. "Let me," she said, taking it willingly.

"Oh why, thank you."

She placed them on the table in between the couch and the TV and took a seat on the comfy chair on the right. She looked above her, left and right again, impressed at the room.

Mrs. Wilde took a seat on the long couch and poured some tea in a cup before handing it to Judy. "Here you go, dear."

Judy smiled. "Thank you," she said kindly with a smile.

"Nick told me a lot of things about you," said Mrs. Wilde, pouring tea in another cup. "How long have you two been dating?"

Judy sipped on her tea. "Well… 8 months. Not exactly but more."

"Has he been on his good behavior lately?"

Judy giggled. "Sometimes."

The vixen laughed along and picked up her cup of tea. "Tell me, how did you two meet? He's never told me about it."

Judy choked a little. "Er… It's… Complicated."

"Let me guess." Mrs. Wilde placed her finger on her chin and thought, looking down. "You… Met him when you bought pawpsicles from him."

Judy nodded awkwardly. "Something like that," she said with a nervous smile.

"Alright," said Nick walking up behind them. "I've unpacked our stuff and looks like we'll be ready to sleep anytime now." Nick sat next to his mother and lay back down.

"Oh come now, Nick," said the mother fox. "Enjoy some tea."

Nick obliged to her request and takes a few sips on it.

"We were just talking about how you two met," she said.

Nick, like Judy, choked on his drink a little. "R-really now?" he said, nervously.

"Looks like you're pawpsicle selling really paid off," she said, laughing softly.

Nick laughed nervously as well and sighed in relief.

"It still doesn't explain how you ended being a police officer."

"Oh, that's simple." Judy drank her tea a little. "He was a key witness to a case I was investigating. And he happened to.. Cooperate."

"But why did he have to follow along?"

Judy's ears dropped and Nick looked at her, hoping she'd find an answer.

"That is…" she said, looking away with a frown.

"Don't tell me." Mrs. Wilde turned to her son. "Nicholas fell in love with you and decided to tag along."

Judy laughed nervously. "Something like that."

Mrs. Wilde laughed softly. "Well," she continued. "You're always welcome to come and drop by anytime now, Judy. I'd like to hear more from you."

"Oh I have a lot to tell. Especially when Nick came with me to BunnyBurrow."

Nick chuckled and looked away.

The vixen gave a short laugh before standing up. "Well, it's getting late now," she said. "I should be getting to sleep too. Don't stay up too late now."

"Mom, we're not kids," Nick said.

"And clean up for me when you're done?" she said, turning to her son.

He sighed and smiled back. "Yes, mother," he said sarcastically.

She gave a kiss on the head to her son.

"Mom! Not in front of her!"

She and Judy laughed at Nick's reaction. The vixen walked into her room, leaving the couple alone.

Awkward silence at first while Nick twiddles his thumbs. Judy glanced at her boyfriend while finishing her tea.

"So…" he spoke up and then stayed quiet.

She giggled, putting down her cup. "So…?" she said.

He smiled nervously and looked back at her. "Thanks for… Trying to cover up my… Hustle."

"Nick," she said, sitting next to him. "You really should tell your mom about everything. Mother's day is suppose to be special isn't it?"

Nick look down and buried his face in his paws, thinking. True that it's the right thing to do. But he just can't bring himself to disappoint that vixen that he loves so dearly. Especially when Mother's day is suppose to be the day where you make your mother happy.

He sighed and sat back down. "I'll… Think about it…" he said, not knowing what to do.

Judy pouted and sat on his lap, her knees on the couch with her face in front of his.

He looked up at her, blushing. "C-Carrots?" he said.

She smiled and hugged him. She didn't want to stress him out especially in the place where he grew up. He hugged her back, a smile forming on his face as he held her close.

"Alright, fine…" he said. "I'll… I'll tell her everything on Mother's day."

She sat back up and looked at him with half closed eyes. "There's that dumb fox, I know…" she said softly, moving her face closer to his.

"Oh shut up…" he replied before the two kissed.

Mother's day… Only 3 days away…

A/N: Welp, here it is. So it's likely to end with 4 or 5 chapters. All I know is that it'll be done BY Mother's day. In my country that is. It'll be on the 7th for the westerners. Also, I feel like there might have been some grammar and spelling mistakes there. Please let me know.

I apologize for making you all wait this long. I really put a lot of effort in this chapter. Because I try to position myself as an only child with only a mother to support him. And it took 8 days to actually picture myself in that place. And because of that, Nick's mother deserves the spotlight for this story. I'm posting it now because I feel like the whole story will take a very, very long time to write. So be patient in the meantime, folks. I'll be writing chapter 2 now. Ciao.
