A Dummy's Lady - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}

Epilogue

October 15, 2016 - 10:03 a.m.

So that is how Slappy and I met. How we fell in love with one another.

It is hard to describe and understand now why we did what we did that day. Why he acted evil, and why I desperately wanted to put him in his place. Now, my only question is why we love each other.

Love is a mystery. It leads you to places and people that you never expected from the beginning. And ever since the dance and for the past two weeks on that year, we have shown just how much we need each other's company and comfort.

"Do not forget her medicines. Oh, and keep her away from dogs and cats. There are a lot in this neighborhood," Tippy reminded Slappy.

"I have this, Tippy," Slappy reassured him. "You have nothing to worry about. She will be in good hands."

I heard the front door being slammed, and Slappy came in the other room.

I smiled. "Hi, my lovely boyfriend," I greeted.

"And hello to you, gorgeous," he said, sitting next to me on the couch and smiling back at me. "Tippy told me that your ankles were aching."

"Yeah."

"What did you do?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes in response.

"Shelly, tell me."

"Okay, okay. I...I stayed up late."

"What did you do that would cause you to stay up?"

"Eh. Writing...a lot."

The puppet, now human in this case, raised an eyebrow.

"And...I watched the Goosebumps movie. Twice. Except the ending. The ending was sad."

Slappy chuckled and stroked my cheek with a soft finger. "Baby, you need to get as much sleep as you can. Otherwise, your body will ache."

I was going to defend my actions, when Stine and Cassandra came in.

"Hey, you two," Cassandra said.

"Hi, Cassandra," my boyfriend greeted. He looked at Stine. "Hello, Papa."

Stine chuckled softly. "Cassandra and I are going to the carnival for our date."

"Another date, Papa? Why, this is the eighty-eighth date since last year!"

I was happy with my caretaker. Not only did she become less strict, but she and Stine were back together. They got back together on the night of the dance. What could make the moment even more special is that Shawn found himself another girlfriend, so everything worked out.

"We will be back soon," my caretaker informed us. "Do not do anything naughty."

"We will not," Slappy answered as Stine and Cassandra left the house. He turned back to me and smirked. "Let us get naughty."

I giggled, and then immediately stopped. I glanced at my belly.

He took note and scooted closer to me. "Shelly? Sweetheart? What is the matter?"

I looked back up at him. "Nothing is wrong. It is just..."

"Yes?"

"I...I am pregnant."

Slappy's mouth dropped open. He tried to speak. "W-what...?"

Suddenly, we heard a loud noise.

My body jumped a little from the noise. "W-what was that?" I stammered.

He forced his mouth to close and got up. "Stay here, Shelly," he said.

I grabbed his arm. "I am coming with you."

"But your ankles—"

"I can still walk." I got up and leaned on him. "Besides, I do not want to be alone."

The noise sounded like that it came from upstairs, so we headed up the stairs. When we reached the top of the stairs, we noticed that the door to the studies was wide opened. We slowly and quietly went to the room and peeked inside.

It was Tamara.

With the manuscript.

And the lock on the manuscript was broken.

"Tamara?" I called to her. "Tamara."

Tamara glanced at us and giggled. And then, she started opening the manuscript.

"Tamara! No!" Slappy and I exclaimed at the same time.
