As soon as Judy's water broke at Skulk Mansion, Nick sprang into action, getting the car ready to transport her to the hospital. Jack could see that his best friend and partner was going to be a nervous wreck trying to keep Judy calm and comfortable during the ride there, so he insisted on driving them, with everyone else at the mansion following behind them. Picking his honey bunny up he carried her out to the car, giving her a kiss as he put her in the back seat.

"It'll be okay," said Nick. "I'm here with you."

If having her water break unexpectedly wasn't even to send her into a panic, the contractions that were coming certainly would. Sitting next to her, Nick held her paw as Jack hopped in the driver's seat, started up the engine and took off. The wolf made sure to turn on the flashers and sirens, not wanting to waste any time. Jack and his wife Dianne had five sons, and he had driven her to the hospital three of the five times she went into labor, so he knew what Nick had in store for him.

"Breath, honey bunny," said Nick, trying to emulate the breathing techniques they had learned at lamaze class. He wiped the sweat from her forehead as her breathing became quicker, more intense. Nick kept coaching her, but by now she was not exactly acting rationally.

"Ow," said Nick, feeling his wife squeezing his paw from the pain. He would have never thought that the smaller rabbit would have possessed such a strong paw, but it appeared that pain was giving her super strength at the moment. "Honey bunny . . . that . . . hurts."

"Don't tell me about pain, dumb fox!" screamed the rabbit. "You wanna trade places, huh? Do you?"

"No, no, no," said Nick, his eyes watering from how hard she was gripping his paw. He had to keep it together for her sake, and the sake of his soon to be born kids. Jack in the meantime was flying down the street at an incredible speed, seeing cars pull over to the side of the road to make way for the speeding car. He got on his cell phone, calling up Zootopia General Hospital to prepare them for Judy arrival.

"Yeah? This is Detective Jack Wolfard, ZPD. I've got a female rabbit here that's going into labor, contractions have started. I'm not sure how far she's dilated. By the way, the newborns will be fox/rabbit hybrids. What's that? Do I think she'll want any drugs for the pain? Let me ask." Jack turned around, seeing the pained expression on Judy's face as she screamed at Nick for what he had done to her, saying she was going to cut his penis off after the delivery. Nick continued to wince in pain from having his paw squeezed.

"I think it would probably be a good idea to give her something for the pain," he told the nurse on the phone. "You might want to give the husband some painkillers too." He moved the phone away from his muzzle momentarily. "Hang in there Judy. You too, Nick."

Jack pulled right up to the main entrance of Zootopia General Hospital, where nurses were already waiting with a wheelchair for Judy. Despite feeling like his paw might be broken, Nick continued to coach his wife, trying to get her to breathe properly. He thought about going into the delivery room with her, but her screaming insults convinced him otherwise. She finally let go of his paw when they brought her back to the room. Nick shook his right paw, trying to restore life into it. He sat down in the waiting room, knowing the rest of his family would be coming soon. A television in the corner of the room was on, showing the news. There were several magazines on tables as well, but Nick wasn't concerned with those things. It suddenly dawned on him that no one had called Judy's parents, Stu and Bonnie, who were hours away in Bunny Burrow. Nick thought it would be a wise decision to give them a ring, letting them know that they would soon be grandparents. Without a doubt, they would be traveling to Zootopia as soon as possible to see their new grandchildren.

The rest of Nick's family and friends who had been at the mansion showed up half an hour later. Not being allowed to exceed the speed limit, they had to take their time getting to the hospital. Norman sat down next to his son, giving him a pat on the back.

"How's she doing, Nick?"

"About as well as can be expected," replied Nick, still feeling the pain in his right paw. "For no bigger than she is, she's pretty darn strong."

"Ah," said Norman. "I remember Anthony and Amanda's mother did the same thing to me," reminisced Norman.

"I'm scared, Dad," admitted Nick.

"Why?"

"I'm not worried about how to change the kids diapers, or how to feed them, or any of the little stuff. I'm worried about how do I make sure they turn out right? How do I know they won't turn out to like so many of the animals that I have to lock up. I want my kids to be good people."

Norman put his paw on Nick's back. "Son, that's whatany parent wants for their children, and that's what every parent worries about too. Look at Anthony and Amanda. Don't you think I worry about them?"

"Of course," said Nick. "They're great kids, too."

Anthony and Amanda, looking at their cell phones, came rushing over at the mention of their names. They looked at their older brother, wondering what he was talking about.

"Did we do something wrong?" asked Anthony.

"No," said Nick, putting his brother in a headlock and giving him a noogie. "Just think, you're going to be an uncle soon, little brother."

Anthony laughed at Nick's attention, eventually slipping out of the headlock. "Hey, that's right. I will be an uncle."

"And I'll be an aunt," said Amanda.

"And your mother and I will be grandparents," said Norman. "Isn't that right, Cindy?"

Nick's mother sat down next to her husband. "And I intend to spoil those little kids rotten, too."

"So much for making sure my kids turn out right," joked Nick.

"Actually," said Norman. "I was wondering if I might help you out with the financial aspect of all this."

"How's that?" asked Nick.

"I wasn't there for you growing up, but I'll be damned if I don't help out my grandchildren," said Norman. "I'm going to set up trust funds for your kids for when they become adults."

"Seriously?" said Nick. "How much?"

Norman whispered into his ear the dollar amount. Nick's heart almost skipped a beat. "Wow, that's . . . very generous, Dad."

"Do you accept?" asked Norman.

"I'm not going to turn down free money," laughed Nick, giving his father a hug, but being careful not to cause him any pain. Norman and Cindy were both still recovering from the injuries they sustained during the violent break by the late Billy Joe Sullivan and Bobbie Sue Murphy. Nick looked around, wondering where Jack, Billy and Felicity had gone to. He finally saw Jack walking ahead of Billy and Felicity. The coyote and vixen had their arms around each other, smiling happily.

"What's up?" asked Nick.

"I just rustled me up a minister that was in here," said Billy. "Felicity and I got hitched!"

"What?" said a shocked Nick.

"Yep," grinned the coyote. "I woulda invited ya, but I didn't wanna steal your thunder with you havin' yer kids today, hombre."

Nick on his feet, giving Billy and Felicity each a hug. "Mozel Tav."

"Ah," said Billy, still grinning. "I think that means good luck in Yiddish."

Everyone continued to socialize, and it was a great distraction for Nick, who had been panicking prior to the party's arrival. He hadn't even checked the time on his phone or the clock on the wall once. The fox was busy chatting with Billy and Felicity when a female rabbit nurse came out, calling for him.

"Mr. Wilde?"

"Yes?"

"Judy's ready for you now."

Nick went with the nurse, walking down the hall to where his wife's room was located. He took a deep breath as he opened the door. There, on the bed was Judy, with four babies in her arms. Nick felt like he was on a cloud as he got the first look at his new children. Slowly, he sat down on the chair next to the bed. Judy, tired, but relieved that the delivery was finally over.

"Hi, dumb fox," she said softly.

"Judy," he said in hushed awe. "Are . . . are these really ours?"

"Yes they are," she said.

Nick took his paws, lightly feeling their tiny little bodies. He was amazed to see how incredibly adorable they were. There were two boys, both of whom looked like foxes, but had their mother's gray fur color. One had green eyes, like Nick, the other had the purple eyes like Judy. The girls were both rabbits, possessing their father's red fur color, and just like the boys, one had green eyes, the other, purple. Nick felt tears of unbridled joy stream down his face.

"Hi, there, little guys . . . I'm your Daddy!"

"Are my parents here yet?" asked Judy.

"They should in an hour or so," answered Nick. "My Dad paid for them to take the next bullet train to Zootopia."

"In the meantime," said Judy. "Do you want to pick out names for our kids?"

"Sure," said Nick. "Would it be alright if

we each got a girl and boy to choose names for?"

"Alright," said Judy, hearing the whimpering of their new children. "You get the ones with your eye color, I get the ones with mine."

"Deal," said Nick, picking up the boy with the green eyes. "You're going to be named Edward Norman Wilde."

"Eddie?" asked Judy.

"I think that would be great," agreed Nick, holding Eddie against his chest.

Judy looked at the other boy. "He's Samuel Stuart Wilde. Sammy for short."

Nick, still with Eddie in his paws, picked up the girl with the green eyes. "She's Emma Cindy Wilde. Emma for short."

Judy laughed at her husband's humor. "Finally, we have Abigail Bonnie Wilde."

"Abby, no doubt," quipped Nick.

Nick and Judy continued basking in the love of their new cubs. The fox and the rabbit had never been so happy in all their lives. They spoke at length about all the plans they had for the kids, all the things they wanted to do. Nick talked about going on vacation with them some day when they were older. Judy went on about all the things she wanted to get them involved with. They couldn't stop talking about how much they wanted to do for them. They wanted to be the greatest parents ever.

"Oh," said Nick, putting Eddie and Emma back in Judy's arms. "Phone's vibrating."

He got his phone, seeing there was a message from Bonnie and Stu. He grinned as he looked back at his wife.

"Your Mom and Dad are out in the waiting room," said Nick.

The same rabbit nurse who had brought Nick back to the room earlier appeared, opening the door and smiling. "Everything okay in here?"

"Sure is," said Nick. "Did you notice all those animals out there in the waiting room?"

"Yes?"

"Do me a favor," said Nick, turning his gaze to his wife and new kids. "Tell them to come back here and meet the Wilde Bunch."
