The Happytime Murders 5

Relief and Joy

Everyone followed the nurse down the hall to a room where Phil now was detoxing and awake. Phil had awaken while the doctors and nurses were trying to get him back only remembering last being on the floor and Amber crying he just needed to see her and let her he's fine.

"Phil!!" cried a familiar voice he could see Bubbles coming in with a nurse with Amber,Connie,Jade,Oscar,Millie and Stella Behind. Bubbles just sobbed in relief as she threw her arms around his neck as she kissed his lips as he sat up to comfort her but then noticed Amber shaking and crying as well still sort of feeling fucked up after she had found him and extended his hand out to her.

"Dad..oh dad I've been so worried sick I thought for sure you were gonna die on that emergency room table on me. I dunno what I would do if that happened" Amber blubbered as she clutched his hand as He held her hand while rubbing Bubbles back as Bubbles kept hugging and kissing him.

"But you didn't I'm okay I'm here and I'm safe honey. Nothing happened to me.I ain't gonna go anywhere I'm still gonna walk you down that wedding aisle.Come here" Phil said as he moved down as Bubbles went to sit on the end of the bed so Amber could sit on the other end next to her father as she just embraced him tightly burying her face in his shoulder just wailing and moaning at the thought of him even likely dying in the instance.

"Why did you do that?! You scared the hell out not just me but all of us. Do you have any idea how much it would hurt for me and mom to lose you?!" sobbed Amber angrily but glad Phil was still alive as Phil rested his hand on the back of her head as Oscar and Stella crawled up to sit with their parents and big sister.

"I know..you all must be angry I can't blame you...I was in emotional pain over stuff going on with Ambers trial and Bubbles hospitalization and made a horrible decision to drink to relax myself and I guess it ended up causing irrational thoughts becoming a suicide attempt at the moment I didn't want it to lead to this but it just did.." Phil explained as Amber cried while Bubbles took over comforting her as he had noticed Connie was crying her eyes out and reached out to hug his cop partner and friend not realizing how much what he had done affected her too.

"God what in the ever loving fuck were you thinking Phil?! Shitcakes! You really think it would be easy for me to find or hire another partner? I don't along with anybody on the force as much as I do with you. Nobody tolerates me and cares about me or hell anyone he loves for that matter like Phil Phillips. He would be terribly missed" Connie sniffled as Phil patted her back

"I know I know my mind wasn't in the right setting cuz of the alcohol not making excuses cuz I know what I did wasn't smart I didn't have the judgement in my mind to think about how much it would affect you all with even a attempt. I'm so sorry..I'm sorry" Phil said over and over as he and Connie just cried and hugged as Connie began to rock him back and forth in her arms.

"So why didn't you just say anything we could have helped and been here for ya sooner?" Bubbles said wiping her eyes as she squeezed his hand

"I was so worried about upsetting you and Amber and making things worse I just wanted to try and be the one taking care and protecting you guys through this all and just any sign of my weakness when I know you're all dealing with shit too makes me think that I wouldn't be a good to have us all panicking it was just-someone had to be the strong one.." Phil admitted. Phil Phillips was not a man who was ashamed to show emotion or cry being he done so before but he just didn't like doing it knowing how it could upset them more when they were also having a hard time dealing with some depression at that time.

"Oh phil..you don't need to be afraid to tell us when you feel lost or sad even if it makes us even more sad to see you cry we wanna help don't feel bad for telling us what's on your mind were a family it's our job to be there for you too" Bubbles said kissing his forehead

"Yeah moms right you don't always have to be that cop who needs to separate emotions from their duty when you're not on the job you are okay to express your emotions...it's okay we promise" Amber added a hand on his shoulder.

"I know thank you sweetheart.." Phil said choked up causing Amber to do so again and burst back into tears. He could really see how much worse this was to bottle everything up inside. Amber just latched onto him again hugging him even tighter then before with all the strength she had in her as she began to let it all out as Phil Hugged back.

"Whoa hey kid you're kinda squishing me" Phil said. Amber immediately let go feeling bad she basically was squeezing the air out of him.

"Shit sorry!" She replied

"No no hey hey it's okay I didn't say you had to let go come on now..I know this was scary for you and you need your dads love. Come back over here" Phil said as he then pulled her by the arm and lifted her into his lap so he could cradle her in his arms as she clinger again but a bit looser and had the rest of her cry with her head laying against his chest while he leaned down to kiss the top of her head. Bubbles crawled up beside him joining and cuddled in with them as she held Stella and put her arm around Phil and Amber as Oscar lay between Phil and Bubbles. After a few minutes of being comforted and held Amber then said jokingly to lighten the mood

"Well I better not be next to have a trip here now" everyone all had a laugh

"Oh Jesus Christ Amber don't jinx it now our medical bills are high enough as it is right now" Phil said back with a chuckle

"I know I kid dad I kid" Amber said with a smile as she snuggled back in beginning to feel a snooze coming on.
