Nick woke to a train whistle blowing. Wait, how was that possible? They were in the Disneyland hotel room, weren't they?

Realizing he was on the floor, he tried to push himself up to a sitting position. The dizziness coursing through his body forced him back down. He shut his eyes and tried to will away the increasing nausea in the pit of his stomach.

"Officer Wilde!" He heard a voice say. His eyes popped open to see Chief Bogo standing over him. What in the world was happening? He attempted to ask why, but the buffalo knelt next to him and shook his head. "Stay still. An ambulance is on its way."

The man looked down at himself to realize he wasn't exactly human anymore. His red bushy tail fanned out next to him, his once peachy hands were now covered with fur. They had made it back to Zootopia. But how? Where was Judy? Where was Jonathan?

"I've got Officer Wilde here at the Sahara Square train station. Any news on Hopps?" The chief officer spoke into his radio.

Nick tried his hardest to listen, to see if his Judy was alright, but he couldn't hardly make out anything aside from the sound of his heartbeat pounding in his ears.

"They found a what?!" The buffalo barked, his face contorted in confusion. A small smile formed on the fox's mouth before darkness came over him.

Nick awoke once again to see he was in a hospital. His head throbbed and his stomach still churned, but the dizziness was gone. An antelope nurse was beside him, studying the monitors in front of her.

"Miss?" Nick caught her attention. "Well look at you. Our famous fox is finally awake. How ya feeling?" She greeted him. "I need to know if my partner is alright. Judy Hopps?" He asked.

The antelope helped him up and into a wheelchair. "Of course. It might be a little difficult getting you to her room. Everyone is trying to see the new arrival."

When they reached the door to Judy's room, it was crowded with animals of all types. Camera crews and reporters stood next to the door, doctors and nurses tried to force the group to disperse, other hospital patients strained to get a glimpse inside.

"There he is!" A tiger shouted. Immediately, Nick was bombarded with questions. A reporter stuck a microphone up to his face. 'Mr. Wilde, is it true that you found a way to the human world?"

"Were you kidnapped?"

"Did you kidnap a human and bring it back to Zootopia?"

"Are we in danger?"

"Are you and Judy Hopps finally together?"

That last question was shouted by Clawhauser, who pushed his way through the throng of people with a dozen of doughnuts in his paws. Nick reached out to shake the cheetah's hand, glad to see a friendly face.

"Come on in, buddy," the fox said, pushing open the door and leaving behind the crowd of disappointed animals.

Judy was awake and alert, and so was little Jonathan nestled in her arms. "Nick!" She cried and embraced him tightly as he stood up to greet her. "Judy. I'm so glad you're alright," the fox murmured and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Jonathan smiled up at him and reached up to grab a tuft of fur. Apparently, he could still recognize them although they were back to their normal selves. Nick grinned and blew a raspberry on the boy's exposed tummy.

"Oh you guys are so cute!" Clawhauser gushed as he bit into a doughnut. "So, when's the wedding?"

Both Nick and Judy rolled their eyes at the same time. As Nick took the baby into his arms, Clawhauser took a step back. "So, you have a human. They're real," he said nervously.

"We were in a whole world of humans, Clawhauser," Judy said.

Jonathan screeched and held his arms out. The large cheetah let out a shriek of his own and held up the doughnut box as a shield. "What does it want? Please don't eat me! Here, have a doughnut! Have the whole box!"

Nick chuckled and bounced the baby in his arms. "It's alright, buddy. He's harmless. This is Jonathan. Judy and I kind of adopted him back in New York."

Clawhauser took a tentative step forward. "He's so small. And squishy. Oh, I just wanna cuddle him!"

Jonathan giggled as the cheetah took him into his arms and began to tickle him. "So, any ideas about how we got back here?" Nick asked.

"I have a theory," Judy said. "Do you remember that Latin line we couldn't figure out?"

Nick nodded. "Well, I woke up with Jonathan in my arms next to the train tracks in Sahara Square. That same saying was engraved into the concrete underneath us. When I asked Chief Bogo what it meant, he said that the saying said to discover one's destiny, one first must find himself."

Nick frowned as he tried to process the strange saying. "That doesn't make any sense."

Judy leaned forward, her amethyst eyes sparkling with excitement. "But it does! Think about it; we kept ignoring the signs that were right in front of us. I was worrying more about my job than you, and you were more focused on me! And it just so happens we got sent to New York together where we find a baby, admit our feelings, and accept our fate! Once we discovered who we were, we got sent back! Because this- "the bunny gestured towards him and Jonathan, "is what we were meant to do."

Nick slightly shook his head, still not clear on how this all fit together. But it didn't matter. They were alive, they had each other, and they were a family.

As he leaned in to kiss the bunny, the door burst open. "Oh my stars! Thank goodness! Judy, you're okay!" Bonnie and Stew rushed in, along with Judy's 275 little siblings.

Nick stood to the side as he watched Judy embrace her parents as her baby siblings piled on top of her and inspected the human baby Clawhauser was holding. Judy looked up at him and smiled, and Nick felt a tug in his chest. He was home. He was loved.

Judy waved him over and took baby Jonathan back into her arms. "Mom, Dad. This is Nick. And this is our son Jonathan."

Stew about collapsed on the spot. Bonnie grabbed his arm to keep him upright, her ears drooping slightly. "You- you have a human?"

"It's a long story," Judy chuckled as she pulled Nick closer. "But my point is, I love Nick and I love this baby. We're a family."

Stew eyed Nick suspiciously. Surprisingly, Nick wasn't bothered by it. Judy had told him enough about her family that he knew the bunny was even suspicious of his own shadow. Bonnie, on the other hand, embraced him tightly.

"What a handsome young fox! And what a cute little… peachy human," she said with a tight smile. Stew was captivated by little Jonathan as the baby cooed and reached his arms out to him.

Judy handed him over and they tried not to laugh as Stew held the boy. "Don't- don't eat me, little fella. You are kinda cute. Hey Judes, I think he has your eyes!"

Judy laughed and squeezed Nick's hand. "Dad, I think that's impossible. We adopted him."

Nick took a step closer and realized that the baby blue color of Jonathan's eyes really had changed to a light purple. His hair had turned into a ginger color as well.

"Judy, I think your father is right. He does look like us!" He exclaimed.

The door opened once more, and Chief Bogo entered. "Would you folks mind giving us a few moments?" He mumbled gruffly as he stared at the wide-eyed bunnies looking up at him.

"Oh, sure. Here ya go, Nick." Stew handed over little Jonathan. "And uh, welcome to the family," he added with a pat on the fox's shoulder.

Chief Bogo sat down in front of the two, eyebrows raised. Nick suddenly realized he and Judy looked very much like a couple, as he had an arm wrapped around her waist and her head resting on his shoulder. The pair slowly scooted away from each other.

"Zootopia is in a panic. There are hundreds of reporters at this hospital as well as the station. Animals alike are panicking as they've heard rumors of a- "the buffalo paused to look down at his notepad- "a cannibalistic human monster. Would you care to explain yourselves?"

Judy shifted uncomfortably, ears drooping as her cheeks flushed. "Well, sir, we were chasing down a suspect on this abandoned train and we got knocked out as it began to move. I know this sounds hard to believe, but when we woke we were in the human world. We became human. And then we found this baby and decided to adopt him. Then we woke up here."

Chief Bogo looked quite skeptical, but he remained silent. Nick stepped forward to elaborate on Judy's story.

"It's true, Sir," he began, rubbing the back of his neck. "We can't even explain it ourselves. But I can assure you that Jonathan- "the Chief snorted at that- "this baby isn't a danger to anyone. He's just like a kit or a pup, only… human."

"Well, I suppose I'll take your word for it. I trust you both. I'd advise you to talk to the news. Calm the crowds." The officer stood to go. "But I expect to see you back at work in a week."

Nick gave him an 'aye aye' hand motion as he sat back down next to Judy.

"Oh, and I have one more question," Bogo said. "Are you two… together now?"

"Yes?" Nick answered nervously, afraid of their boss's reaction.

A huge grin broke across the Chief's face. "It took you long enough. It seems I owe Clawhauser a box of Krispy Kreme's."

"Mommy! Daddy! Look what Grandpa taught me to do!" Jonathan ran up to Nick and Judy with a dirty face and wide grin, carrots held in either hand as his tiny aunts and uncles ran up behind him.

Nick scooped their 3-year-old son in his arms and set him on his shoulders.

"Little Jon sure would make a good carrot farmer," Stew commented with a proud smile. "I wanna be a baker like Uncle Gideon!" Jonathan said, nearly hitting his father in the face with the carrots.

"Baby steps, Little Man. How about we go inside and eat some of that delicious cake Mom made?" Nick said with a chuckle. The boy leaped from his shoulders to Judy's arms, smothering his mother with hugs and kisses before running ahead with the rest of the litter.

"Since when did our son get so big?" Nick asked as he pulled Judy close to him. "Since when did you get such a belly, Foxy?" Judy teased as she lightly poked his round stomach underneath his shirt.

"Well, if Jon didn't insist on baking delicious treats every day, I wouldn't be in such bad of shape. The kid has worn me down!" The fox said. "Mm hmm. Tell that to the Chief at our next physical challenge when you eat my dirt," Judy said with a cocky smile.

Nick quickly grabbed her by the waist, causing her to shriek and swat at him. "I sure do love you, Mrs. Wilde," he drawled in a fake southern accent. Judy giggled and shoved him off. "Then you get to tell our son the good news."

The excited yells coming from inside the house captured their attention. "I think he already knows," Nick said with a sly grin.

And sure enough, the little boy came running out of the house with a bundle in his arms. "I got a baby sister?!"

Judy picked up the little bunny nestled in the boy's arms. Little Jonathan had been begging for a long time to have a little sibling to play with, so Nick and Judy had finally adopted a little bunny into the family.

"This is Lily," Judy introduced them.

Nick watched Judy interact with their children, smiling as her eyes glowed with happiness. Just a few years ago, he could have never imagined him living the life he was now. He assumed he would always be alone, never loved and never loving anyone. He was a cheat, a low-life hustler.

But now, now he was a father. A husband. He meant something. No amount of pawpsicles or money could ever change that. He had finally found his home.

That is the end of this story! Cheesy and short, I know, but I hoped you loved it! I had fun taking Nick & Judy on this wonderful journey and I really hope Disney someday makes a Zootopia 2! Anyways, much love, readers. Feel free to leave reviews and suggestions for a new story!
