The Happytime Murders 5

A Long Night II

Bubbles felt herself jolt awake feeling a bit of maternal instinct in her and just couldn't help but think about her and Phil's Amber. She just knew their baby girl was having a hard time dealing with a lot and Bubbles just ached to get the fuck out of this hospital. She really was hating herself right now for scaring Phil and her. Speaking of Phil she thought she could hear sniffling coming from next to her as he lay by her and had fallen asleep earlier. Bubbles turned to see Phil's back facing her.

At first she thought maybe he was just sniffling in his sleep which it was something Phil often would do as she slept by him every night but she then heard him let slip some quiet whimpers and sobs as his shoulders shook and realized that her husband was crying either in his sleep or letting some tears slip thinking Bubbles couldn't hear because she was assumed to be sleeping. Clearly he wanted to appear strong for Bubbles and Amber when clearly he was feeling just as vulnerable and distressed as they were and didn't wanna appear as upset to them. Phil did fear sometimes that Bubbles would see his weakest moments. She and Amber being close to him had seen him cry before not like this even when Larry passed away.It was prob almost the worst he ever cried since the funeral and when Jenny dumped him before he and Bubbles dated.Well Phil had felt more shock with his grief at the time rather then sadness but he still had both and even slipped a few tears behind his sunglasses at Larry's funeral.

"Phil...Phil?? Are you awake hun? I uh can't sleep" Bubbles whispered with her hand on his shoulder shaking him a little

"Yeah I'm awake Bubbles.." he managed to say back to her

"Are you crying?" She asked

"No I'm fine dear.." Phil sighed trying to conceal the fact that he had been

"Phil I could hear you ya know you don't need to lie to me.." Bubbles replied spooning him a bit from behind

"I said I'm fine.." Phil said his voice beginning to crack on the verge again

"Hey baby look...it's okay if you are i understand you don't have to always 'be a man' and feel the need to be brave for me and Amber constantly. I know it's been hard and scary for you too. Now cmon turn around look at me.." Bubbles whispered in his ear kissing his cheek. Phil then turned to face her while his bottom lip trembled as he then began to start crying again burying his face into her shoulder just letting it all out.

"I was so terrified Bubbles..I thought for sure I was gonna lose you for good just like I lost my ma,Aunt Ruby and Larry.." Phil cried as he just pulled Bubbles even closer just needing that reassurance and touch knowing she was there and okay.

"Ooh I know..I was too I'm so sorry I scared you like this I promise it's not gonna happen again I won't leave you.." Bubbles comforted him with kisses all over his face while rocking him back and forth in her arms to soothe him hoping it would take his pain and sadness away.

"Good I dunno what I'd do without you dear you,Amber,Stella and Oscar you're all my everything! It would kill me inside if I ever lost anymore friends or family. It's just hard Bubbles I've had lost so many people in my life to the point where I'm paranoid and fearful that pretty soon I'm gonna be all alone.." Phil sniffed cradling Bubbles head in his arms with his forehead leaning into hers shaking and crying just holding her tightly to him.

"Shhh it's gonna be okay I promise I ain't going anywhere.Were Gonna get through this sweetie don't worry baby" Bubbles said a hand on his cheek briefly and then sat up in the hospital bed so she could hold Phil until he calmed down a bit. She hugged him against her chest as he cried some more and lay a hand on the back of his head and stroked his hair and just kept kissing him while crying with him. After a couple minutes Phil pulled himself together as he and Bubbles just sat in silence holding hands fingers interlocked as Bubbles leaned her head against his shoulder while he put on a smile and kissed her on the forehead.

"You gonna be okay?" Bubbles then asked breaking the silence

"Knowing you are here in my arms and getting better..I sure will be" Phil said back

"Good now I'm getting to a bit tired again what do you say we try and get back to sleep huh?" Bubbles said as she let out a yawn.

"Sure. Hey uh sweetheart can I make a request first?" Phil asked

"Of course what is it Phil?" Bubbles said

"Can we cuddle to sleep? It'll help me and I think it'll help you too. I just need to know you're still here" said Phil as they started to lay back

"Oh you'll always get as many as you need with me I'm your wife it's kind of my job to provide you with them" Bubbles said as Phil and her chuckled together.

"Alright So Which position you want to do? Spooning? Honeymoon hug?" Phil asked

"I don't care but if we're spooning can I be the little spoon this time? You were last time" Bubbles said teasing him to lighten up the mood and tough time they were in

" fine now you lay down first.." Phil said as Bubbles listened and lay on her side then Phil did the same and cuddled up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist,holding her hand and lay with his head against her neck as Bubbles giggled feeling his hair tickling a little.

"Alright..this okay for ya?" Phil asked

"It's fine but I was gonna ask the same I feel like I'm crushing your one arm by laying on it" Bubbles said with a snicker

"Oh no no I don't mind I'm made of fluff remember? It doesn't hurt at all" Phil assured

"Okay goodnight Phil Phillips" Bubbles said as she turned her head to look up at him

"Goodnight Bubbles" Phil said back as they shared one last kiss before Bubbles turned her head back to the side and closed her eyes as Phil lay his head down back against hers as they drifted back to sleep.
