Wildehopps headcanons: sick edition!
As frequently seen in the fandom, i believe Judy would refuse to believe she’s sick– or even be totally oblivious to it. instead, she’d just go about her day, maybe take some painkillers in the morning, chug some water, and go to work.
That is, until the 'big sickness' comes in.
She wakes up one day, dizzy, boiling hot, sweaty, barely able to see. at first she’s in a flurry, terrified that she’d caught some rare disease and she’s going to die in the next few days. yet after a phone call with her mom, it turns out it’s just the common influenza.
Ignoring her mothers insistence to drive six hours and come take care her of her, Judy insists she’ll take it easy for the day, hoping it’ll clear up in time for work.
Obviously, this will be quite difficult for the usually hyperactive and excitable bunny. but alas, she knows it’s for the greater good, besides the last thing she’d want is to get Nick sick. so she rests for the day, sleeps, scrolls Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram all in an effort to get better by Monday.
it does nothing– in fact it gets worse.
It’s so bad to the point where Judy knows she’ll have to call in sick tomorrow. so she does, explaining her situation, to the ZPD and her foxy partner, leaving Nick in a state of sheer panic. I mean, Judy admitting she can't work- surely she must be on death's door!
So the second that clock hits 5pm, Nick dashes out to grab his partner anything he can (food, medication, fluffy pillows, etc) and shows up at Judy's door, demanding to be of help.
So after a few days of rest, alongside Nick's constant care, attention, and nursing, Judy recovers back to her bubbly and optimistic self, full with newfound admiration and love for her partner.
In my opinion, considering Nick's past, i feel like he would be conditioned to ignore sickness. This is purely because a day off work is a day without pay- and Nick couldn't afford that.
So he's used to ignoring symptoms, masking off-days, and pushing on.
Yet when it comes to the ZPD and getting paid sick-leave, best believe that Fox is jumping at any opportunity to call off work. (jokingly... of course...) a sore wrist? deadly. growing pains? fatal. a slight bump on the head? call the ambulance!
At least, that's what the Fox initially thought... that was until he realised that time off work meant time away from Judy.
Thus, Nick finds himself ignoring every past terminal illness for the sake of seeing his partner.
Until one day, the sickness is genuinely too much. Nick can hardly see- let alone walk. so whilst standing on death's door, he very very reluctantly calls in sick, without so much as a word to Judy out of pure nausea.
Spending the day sleeping, lounging, and watching TV would've been past-Nick's dream come true. yet the current-day Fox found himself longing for the mounds of paperwork and stakeouts. deep down, Nick knew it was because he was missing a certain bunny.
So imagine his surprise when an impromptu knock on his door and the scent of warm soup wakes him from his slumbers. of course his partner would turn up after a long day of making the world a better place in order to care for others- that selfless bunny! was this a dream?
Ignoring Nick's protests about contagious diseases and overly sensitive bunnies, Judy promptly whips up her homemade "get well soon" soup on the stove alongside some comforting tea. it seems that his partner had fully fledged herself into "Mom-mode" (not that he was complaining...)
It was only after he had finished dinner, when Judy had launched into a full hour-by-hour recap of the day's events and made herself very comfortable and at home, that Nick realised she was staying the night.
So together they begin a new routine: Judy waking first, preparing two breakfasts and coffees, before leaving for work. Judy returning in the evening, preparing two dinners and teas, the daily recap, repeat.
The cycle continues until, slowly, Nick begins to feel himself again, and he is finally able to join in on the early starts.
He's pleased that Judy won't be alone on the force (though a part of him wishes he could drag out this illness for just a little longer...)
Mainly, Nick learns that he was wrong; it is possible to fall more in love with Judy.
Thank you for your question! i'm sorry it took so long but alas it is here; i hope it lived up to the anticipation. feel free to ask any more questions.
