The Happytime Murders 5

Dont Do This To Me

Phil sighed as he stood back and went toward where his partner Connie was sitting as his daughter Amber was crying into her shoulder scared to death after what happened.

"Amby!" He called out as he ran over

"Oh Daddy!!" Amber cried out as she just fell apart even more collapsing into Phil's arms just letting the waterworks just come out crying into the side of his neck as he just rocked her back and forth in his arms.

"It's okay hey I'm here now baby girl I'm right here shhhh" Phil whispered to her rubbing the back of her head. "When did this happen.." he asked as they let go briefly as he sat on the other side of her holding her hand.

"Auntie Connie had dropped me off back home after we were out for supper and I called saying I was home to mom and there was no answer all I could hear was Stella crying so I ran up stairs to find mom face lying first on the floor of Stella room. I tried shaking her and screaming for her to wake up but she didn't so I texted Connie,got Jade and Millie to watch Stella and Oscar and called 911..oh dad I was so scared and I still am we can't lose her I don't know what happened if only I was there earlier.." Amber sobbed as Phil and Connie just wrapped their arms around her as Connie just shushed her gently while rubbing her back to soothe her.

"Oh sweetheart oooh i know this must have scared ya a lot I'm so sorry you had to find out this way.." Phil said squeezing her hand

"Find out what.." Amber and Connie said at the same time

"Your mom uh has been uh suffering with some body dystrophia she kept having nightmares from when she was in high school and bullied for her weight and looks and I noticed she had been restricting her eating but I Uh didn't think it was that bad its clearly worse then I thought..." Phil said beginning to now cry as well

"What?! Omg Aw dad" Amber said as she scooted closer and hugged him even tighter as they both were now crying their eyes out sick to their stomach with fear that she could be dying in the operating room. Connie shook her head just sad for the two of them and sat up after kissing Amber and Phil's foreheads they went off to go buy a coffee to give em some time together to talk things through and just let them be there for eachother.

"We can't lose her we just can't.." Amber sobbed

"I know sweetie I know no matter what happens I'll be right here with you. Your daddy's gonna be here no matter what okay? We're gonna get through this together" Phil said his head against hers as they both sniffed and held on to eachother. Amber began to notice Phil really broken up starting to let all his pain out in anguished cries and did what he always did when she was crying. She gently  rested his head in her shoulder and started playing with his slightly grizzled hair and kissed his head doing what she could to comfort her dad.

"Awww Amber" Phil sighed noticing her trying to comfort him the way he did her. They just sat for a long time holding each other until the doctor came out to them.

"Hello Mr Phillips?" He said as Phil raised his head that was resting against Ambers chest

"Yes that's me..is my wife gonna be okay??" He asked in desperation

"Just fine she got very lucky Mr Phillips we almost lost her a couple times but were able to get the feeding tube and nutrients in her blood to keep her going she's gonna need to stay until her low levels go back up and she's safe to be back at home..this is like a borderline anorexia nervosa it's very serious she's gonna need to eat and gain some weight back in order to survive and be healthy" the doctor replied

"Alright thanks..um how long would that be exactly?" Amber asked

"Could be up to a while yet we don't know it's gonna depend on her determination and how her body takes things" The doctor answered

"Can we please see her..I just need to see her!!" Phil said on the verge of tears again

"Yes of course right this way" the doctor lead them down a corridor into another hall and took them into a room where Bubbles lay with her eyes closed but awake. She was looking very feeble and pale. Phil also began to notice how the hospital gown practically just rested and hung off her and her gorgeous blonde curls were all disheveled and messy.

"Oh my god she looks so sick.." Phil said gulping back a sob as Amber took his arm as they made their way to the bedside.

"I know dad..but she's okay now she just needs to heal" Amber said. She and her father wanted so back to hug and squeeze the hell out of her after being worried sick but at the sight of her it looked like she was gonna snap like a toothpick at the slightest touch so phil just reached over to take Bubbles hand to let her know they were here. Bubbles eyes opened as she turned her head to the side to look at her daughter and husband.

"Phil..Amber.." she managed to crack her throat dry after having had a tube shoved down it.

"Bubbles"Phil said back his other hand gripping her wrist as he kissed her fingers.

"Momma.." Amber started to cry as she went to the other side of the bed sobbing holding her moms free hand.

"Baby don't cry I'm fine..what exactly happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?" Bubbles asked as she extended a hand to caress Ambers face and hair and kissed her on the hand that she was holding.

"You passed out when you were going to get Stella out of her crib from a nap. It has to do with the fact that you been barely eating anymore. The doctor said you almost died.i-I I though for sure I was gonna lose you dear.." Phil admitted as he couldn't hold back any longer for her and just sobbed as Bubbles slowly sat up and hugged Phil.

"Omg!! Oh shit you guys I'm so sorry I had no idea that it would end up being this bad. God I'm so angry at myself why did I think this wasn't that big a deal. I've gone Ill I need help" Bubbles cried into Phil's neck as he rested his chin on the top of her head rubbing her back to soothe her.

"Shhh Bubbles baby..sure it wasn't a good choice to make but you possibly have anorexia you can't help the way you are. And Listen were gonna go and get you help once you're out of the hospital to sort out all these nightmare issues. Well also take care of you too" Phil said softly as they both cried and kissed eachother

"It's gonna be okay mom" Amber said as she while shaking joined in on the embrace so relieved crying her face off and just couldn't let go of them

"Oooh im sorry I scared you both like this I didn't want this to happen.." Bubbles sniffed

"Momma what matters right now is that you're alive and okay which you are!" Amber said crying into her shoulder

"We're gonna take this one step at a time and we'll help you recover and take care of you just promise me you won't do any more crazy diets and don't beat yourself up for how much you weight because it just doesn't matter. You're beautiful and don't deserve what happened to you" Phil said as He crawled into the bedside snuggling up to her along with Amber as well who lay with her head in her mother's chest as Bubbles
lay petting her curly black hair as Amber hugged her waist sobbing.

"Phil I'm scared of feeling fat again what if those feelings come back once I start gaining again.." Bubbles said turning her head to face her husband

"We're gonna help you through this don't worry..that's what the therapy and doctors are for" Phil reassured her kissing her lips in a loving way to assure the confidence in her he know she had always had.
