Foxy carried the sleeping boy out of the office and towards the bed they'd been putting Mikey in to nap. He could see the worry on the others. He knew they could clearly hear the outburst from out here. He made sure that Mikey was tucked in tight before he even dared to step away.
"What happened?" Bonnie demanded in a quite voice.
"Just a bit of temper tantrum. He'll be dealt with when he wakes up." Foxy said simply. "We got a call from management...I have news that's both bad and upsetting." he added with a grimace.
He explained the message he heard and the others silently agreed they would do all they could to protect Mikey.
"So..he's staying here? Permanently?" Chica asked. She loved the idea of always having their favorite little boy around. "What about his mother?"
"Boyo broke the phone before she started the next part. She repeated the first part so who ever heard it could relay it."Foxy explained. "But from what I understand this could easily become permanent, him living here with us..something has happened. Something bad..it's the only way to explain the marks and why he's acting like he is."
"He's sensitive..it's not surprising."Bonnie added nodding his head.
"Sensitive or not. That tantrum and language was far from acceptable." Freddy spoke up. "We all know discipline has to be done."
"Ye'll have to do it.." Foxy said after a moment looking at Freddy. "No offense Chica, Bonnie..ye be too soft on the lad."
"What about you?" Chica said trying to be offended but knew the pirate was right.
"He already had to deal with Mikey's tantrum..and I've got a feeling it won't be the last one." Freddy said. "I'm sure we all will have to find some way to handle this."
"Ay..boy's ours. No matter what we do what's best for him." Foxy spoke up and the other two could just nod their heads and agree.
"Now there is very bad snow storm outside. We need to check and make sure everything is locked up tight and secure." Freddy said taking charge. "We want to make sure Mikey can't wonder outside by mistake or get any where near where the tools from those workers have stored around her."
"Toddler and power tools..scary thought." Bonnie snorted making Chica giggle.
"Very. Since the restaurant will not be open for the next several days we have no reason to limit our movement. We will have to alternate recharge and who stays with Mikey."
"I'll stay now." Chica offered. "While you guys check everything out. I already went over the kitchen stuff. We've got more then enough food to feed one little boy."
"Good stay here with him and give a shout when he wakes up."Freddy said before the rest of them scattered to do what was needed. Bonnie went to recharge once he was done but Foxy went to find Freddy.
"Something you need?" Freddy asked after making sure the front doors were locked and the curtains covering the windows and doors were closed hiding them from the wolds view.
"Want to talk about the lad." Foxy said simply.
"I figured..he always was your favorite of the children."Freddy said simply.
"He's my first mate...would rather die then let any harm come the boy." Foxy replied. "Sure he'll throw another tantrum once he's awake..need a favor of you."
"What is it?" Freddy asked
"The new owner..well she made them give me a hand to replace this hook with..need help switching it though until the repairs have been done.." Foxy explained.
"Want to take the boy in hand yourself?" Freddy said with a grin making Foxy groan at the bad joke.
"That was un-bear-able.." Foxy replied making Freddy groan. "But yes. Don't want to accidentally hurt the lad."
"Well we can always use an extra hand."Freddy said snorting. "But honestly we will figure something out."
It was hours later that Mike finally started to stir awake, his head was pounding and his throat was dry. He would have thought it was all a bad dream if his knees weren't still hurting. He was trapped there with them. He opened his eyes but he didn't see anyone around him and he sat up rubbing his eyes. He took his time getting to his feet. The day care room was mostly dark. He assumed the lights had been turned off to give off a more peaceful environment but he was still far too upset.
He never noticed he left his toy as he made a quite walk across the floor and towards the bathroom. The need to relief his self pressing but he stopped when he heard heavy foot steps. He panicked and looked for the nearest place to hide and only found a spot between some boxes wedging his way behind them.
"Oh dear not again." Bonnie's voice could be heard. "Mikey? Mikey come out we know you're hiding in here somewhere. Come now it's not time for hide and seek."
Mike shoved his fist into his mouth and tried not to let out a whimper. He suddenly realized the pressure in stomach that had woke him up was much worse but he didn't dare move. He was so focused on not wetting his self he didn't hear the foot steps coming closer before the light flipped on and Chica, who he hadn't heard come in, was in front of him.
"There you are!"
And that was the moment Mike's body rebelled and he found his self soaking wet.
