Cody x Pillow 2 》 Whoopsie

everyone say thank you Pancrease E. Pancakes from project x's (Maxx's) discord server for encouraging a follow up to Cody and his pillow child.

i cant believe all it took for me to slightly get out of a writing slump was to write weird fanfics.

this is also written in 3rd person because i got too far into and completely forgot it was in first person.

It had been a couple of years since that fateful night when Cody gave in to his most animalistic desires. Years since Shay had left for a lovely vacation out to visit her family only to come back to a nightmare.

A lot happened in the past few years. Cody had horrible nightmares the first few months after the pillow child's birth, convinced he was hearing the scrapping of soft nails outside of the bedroom windows. On his worst nights, he would see the pillow standing above him with a knife pressed onto his throat and gesturing wildly to Shay. He couldn't mention any of this to a therapist as he would likely labeled as insane. That or the goverment would run extensive tests and he was already a slave to the machine so there was no need to make matters worse.

Cody had changed every lock in the house and reinforced all the windows not long after that night.

Thankfully the landlord simply assumed it was Cody and Shay being paranoid due to the recent rash of break ins and even agreed to cover half the costs of the bill as long as it was agreed to only meant to increase the property value. Of course, once the bill did come the landlord acted as if they had no idea what was happening and even had the nerve to tack on "property damages" onto their rent.

After the pillow child was old enough to have some sort of discernable features, Cody had decided to confront Dan why it looked more like him than anything. At first Dan had freaked out when Cody walked in with a sentient pillow child before finally crumbling and admitting that he, too, had fallen victim to the pillow

They had spent weeks trying to figure out how to break the news to everyone. Of course everyone being the band members and their respective partners. After a long brainstorming session it was time.

Surprisingly it was taken well and it was agreed upon that Cody and Shay would remain the main caregivers of the pillow child. The other members of the band did their best to treat the pillow as a human child but it was clear it was difficult. It was perfect timing that the current album cycle had just ended so there wouldn't be the need to explain anything to anyone on tour.

The pillow child was only referred to as "it" or "that thing" for the first few pathetic months of it's life before a name finally stuck. It wasn't something that was even meant to be a name, but moreso something the pillow child answered to whenever mentioned.

Lillie.

It's meaning? Short for pillow. If you didn't necessarily know how to pronounce pillow or wanted to be fancy just like Haleighy. In actuality, it was easier to write off as a dog's name than anything else.

The only plus side to all of this was that the couple could always have an excuse whenever they wanred to get out of an event. "Sorry, can't come into work today. Lillie isn't feeling too well and I want to make sure she's okay."

You know, the normal thing everyone does.

It was getting more and more difficult to keep Lillie a secret as she grew older. She wasn't growing at the speed of a normal child but what seemed to be between half a year to an entire year every month. It was a scene straight out CW's hit TV show Supernatural except this was real life and not a show.

At around 5 years old in pillow age, Lillie began to throw a fit and cry at every possible chance. "I want my mommy! Give me mommy!" She would scream out, stomping around the apartment. Shay would try to console the pillow child only to have whatever toy was nearbt thrown at her. "You aren't mommy! Give me my mommy! Right now!"
