"Nick, I'm sorry. I didn't know that vixen was your mother!"

Nick turned his back. He'd never been so embarrassed! He felt Judy's hand on his back and then

her head. He listened to her sob quietly. They sat like that for several minutes and they both jumped

as someone pounded on the door. Nick started to rise when the door was flung open.

"Mom!" he said and stood.

The angry vixen walked toward Nick and back handed him across the mussel.

"Nicholas Piberius Wilde are you embarrassed of me?"

Smack!

"No, but…"

Smack!

"I'm not good enough to meet your lover!"

Smack!

"But, I thought you be…"

Smack!

"Do you think I'm speciesist?" She asked. "I'd thought I raised a smarter kit than that!"

Smack!

"What was she suppose to think when your lover finds you hugging a beautiful vixen?"

"But…"

The vixen's hand came back again.

"Stop!" Judy yelled and interposed herself between them.

The vixen looked down at the determined rabbit protecting her fox. He smiled and then began

to laugh. She hadn't laughed so hard in years. After a few minutes she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"OK, you two sit down!" she said and pointed to the couch. "We're going to talk!"

They sat and she stood over them with her hands on her hips.

"Judy, do you love him?" the vixen asked.

Judy's long ears came up and then turned pink.

"Yes, of course I do!"

"Do you really think he would cheat on you?"

"No, he'd never do that," she said shaking her head.

"Good!"

"Nicholas, do you love her?"

"Yes."

"Now don't you think you should apologize for the things you said?"

Nick look embarrassed.

"Good! Now you two make up."

They both stared at her.

"Judy."

"Nick, I'm sorry. I was an idiot. I didn't mean to embarrass you."

His bunny's eyes began to grow watery and her nose twitched.

"Oh, fluff!" he said hugging her to him and then nibbling an ear. "I should've taken you to meet my mom a long

time ago. I'm sorry for saying things I did and storming off!"

Judy pulled his face to hers and kissed him. Nick's hand drifted down to her tail and squeezed it. Judy gasped. The vixen watched with a smile growing on her face as they continued oblivious of her. After a few minutes she cleared

her throat.

"Well, next Sunday you both are coming over for dinner," she said, "and if that asshole Bogo tries to make you work, just tell him the Catherine the Vixen remembers him very well. And knows just who to talk to about the old

days."

Catherine looked at the two surprised faces and smiled. She turned on her heel, walked to the door swinging her

hips, and left.

"Sweet cheese and crackers!"
