Sleepless Agony

Chapter 9: Wake Up

Lolbit heard the room go silent. "I'm alive now?" Lolbit questioned, "Wait, what am I saying? Of course, I'm alive!"

The doctor looked at the nurse. "Nurse Chica, you're Lolbit's immediate nurse, right?"

"Yessir! What about it?" Chica answered.

Chica? Foxy thought as chills were sent through his spine from that name. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Foxy asked the nurse.

"Huh?" Chica asked, not knowing what Foxy meant.

"I'm sorry, I mean I think I've heard your name before, what was it again?" Foxy wondered.

"My name? Well, my name is actually Funtime Chica, but most people call me Chica!" Chica answered politely.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I knew someone named Chica, I thought you were her." Foxy apologized, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, it's all good and dandy, mistakes happen!" Chica tried to make Foxy feel better.

"Yeah, okay, accidents are common, but we need to fix this 'accident' with this machine!" The doctor cut in.

"Huh? Accident? What does he mean?" Lolbit wondered.

"Oh, right! What's wrong with this machine?" Chica headed over to the machine and examined it. All the wires were plugged in, and it didn't look like there was a glitch. The doctor looked at the sensors they put on Lolbit's body. He was careful not to tug too hard to yank them off, but even with the slightest pull, he noticed that the sensor pads weren't on her body. "What did you find, doc?"

"Something fishy is going on, the sensor pads came off. With the adhesive we used for animatronic patients, it isn't easy to simply fall off," The doctor continued, "someone would have to yank it off with a hard force. The fact that it didn't immediately flatline is confusing too. It slowly declined, meaning someone tampered with he adhesive, also. Unless our supplier only messed up these adhesives, something else is going on."

Lolbit thought about what she could do. "Am I in something like a coma? What if I try waking up?" Lolbit tried to tell herself to wake up to no avail. "Come on, wake up!" She screamed at herself. She felt different, but could only see the blackness from the sunset. With nothing to do, she tried calling for the one she always relied on.

Foxy!

"Foxy!"

"Foxy!"

Foxy!

Foxy!

"Foxy?" a small sound came from Lolbit's mouth.

"Did you hear something?" Chica asked Foxy.

"I don't know, I thought you called me," he replied.

"Foxy." Lolbit sounded again, a little louder.

"Okay, who is calling me?" Foxy quizzed, looking around.

'Foxy!" Lolbit yelled, making Foxy look at her.

"...Lolbit?" Foxy asked, looking at the sleeping Lolbit.

"Foxy! You can hear me! I miss you so much!" Lolbit's voice spoke a little slurred from not being fully awake.

"Lolbit! You're awake! Wait, can you not..move?"

Lolbit let out some grunts in efforts to move her body, a pinky at least. "No, I can only talk. What happened? I felt like I was being tortured continuously. I had to witness Aspen die so many times...ASPEN! How's Aspen?!" Lolbit questioned franticly.

"The doctors said that he will be fine. He's gonna live!" Foxy replied enthusiastically.

"He's..fine?" Lolbit asked, with a tear coming out of her closed eye. Soon, more followed. "My baby...my baby's gonna live!" Slowly, her eyes opened, seeing Foxy's big yellow eyes over her body. Lolbit wrapped her arms around Foxy and pulled him close. "I love you so much, Foxy!" Lolbit cried in Foxy's arms, "I miss seeing you so mu-u-uch!"

"I love you, too, honey!" Foxy cried on Lolbit's shoulder. "I couldn't stand to see you in pain anymore!" Foxy backed up and wrapped his fingers with hers. They slowly got closer and shared a long, meaningful kiss. It felt like hours though it was only a couple of minutes.

"Dang it," Chica hissed under her breath. Foxy and Lolbit, being too involved in the kiss, couldn't hear her. "I gotta tell boss after my shift."

After the kiss was over, Foxy reached for his phone and looked through the contacts to call everyone and spread the good news. "Red! Get everyone! Your mom is awake!"

Chica stepped outside to get the doctor and tell him the news. "Doctor! You won't believe what just happened! The patient is awake!"

The doctor spun around to see Chica. "Huh? She's awake? Stay with her, we need to make sure to examine her for her health." The doctor kept walking the direction he was initially going as Chica head back to Lolbit's room.

Time passes as Foxy, Lolbit, and Chica wait for the kids and Rose to arrive at the hospital. Soon, they could hear the kids coming down the hallway. Red turned the corner to see Lolbit's room. "Guys, she's over here," Red told everyone, trying to be quiet to not disturb everyone else. They slowly entered one by one and each with happiness on their face. Ashelly was the last to the door. She stepped inside to see her mom laying there with everyone. Tears cascaded down her face as she walked towards her. There weren't any words exchanged, just a long giant hug.

Chica sat in the corner, watching this unfold. "I presume these are your kids, what are their names?" Chica asked, trying not to feel like an outsider in this situation.

Foxy looked at Chica and started answering her question, "Well, the youngest two are twins. They are Slick and Sly, then there's Ashelly, Winter, and Red. This is Rose, she's Red's girlfriend."

"Wow, you two have such beautiful children," Chica looked at Rose, "and it looks like you're gonna have a beautiful grandchild, too!" Chica had a big smile plastered onto her face. Lolbit felt the same uneasiness she felt in her coma when she looked at that smile.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Rose responded happily. A couple seconds later, the doctor entered the room.

"Hey, Nurse Chica, can you help me with the equipment? I need to make sure all the machines are working and won't glitch again." The doctor quickly asked as Chica followed him outside. Once the door shut, Lolbit got everyone's attention.

"Listen, something weird is going on," Lolbit spoke with a sense of worry in her voice, "That nurse is up to something, I just know it."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Foxy replied, "she seems like a nice person."

"Well, it's always the nice ones who turn out to be the evilest ones," Ashelly chimed in.

"What I mean is that smile she gave, it looked like the smile from my coma! What if she had something to do with-" A knock on the door stopped Lolbit from talking. Soon what emerged from the entrance were 3 figures. "Puppet? Freddy? Baby?"

Baby ran to the bed and wrapped Lolbit into a hug. "Lolbit! It was true, you're awake!" Baby bewailed as her grip became tighter.

"Baby, keep hugging tighter, and I might go back to sleep again!" Lolbit breathlessly whined as Baby released her grip. "Hey, Freddy! Hey, Pup...pet?"

Puppet was on the ground, sobbing his eyes out. His cries earned faces of confusion from everyone in the group. "Sorry, I just get really emotional," Puppet sniffled as he got up.

"We know," was everyone's reply.

"As I was saying," everyone turned to Lolbit, "I don't trust that nurse. This might be a little weird, but is anyone up to explore this place and find out if something is happening?

Sly looked at her brother, who was staring right back at her. "Let's do this." They both beamed.
