I have returned, sunburned, but triumphant from band camp to bring you this chapter! Also Doctorwho9000 wrote too and made me post the thing. If it weren't for him you guys would have had to wait, so yay for coauthors!

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Spring asked, plopping down on the bed next to Hope.

"What are you trying to do? Convince me to say no? Then what? Just listen to you jerk off in the bathroom?" Hope asked sarcastically.

"Oh shut up. If that were the case you would want to watch." Spring said with a smirk.

"Um. No." Hope said rolling her eyes.

"Seriously though. Do you still want to do this? I brought everything we may need." Spring said.

"Yeah, I mean we've been dating a while, and it's been a month since the idea popped into my head. Still slightly embarrassed about that by the way." Hope said resting her head on Spring's shoulder.

"Oh you mean your idea about the supply closet?" Spring asked with a laugh.

"Yes, and don't mention it again. Just come here and kiss me." Hope said wrapping her arms around him.

"Whatever you wish lovebird." Spring said pulling her close and kissing her passionately.

Soon the two were hidden under the blankets, kissing until they had to take a breath. As Spring became more intimate, and they started moving towards what they had hoped to do on their day off, Hope remembered some of the moments that she had shared with Spring in the past month. The moments that made her ready to move forward in her relationship with him.

As he watched TV in his living room with Goldie, Jack couldn't be happier. The two had been taking it relatively slow compared to his other relationships. For Jack, that was a nice change of pace. The only reason he had moved so fast with the others was because he felt like if he did so, they would stay.

Oh, how that backfired.

So this slow thing was nice, and more intimate than the others. To think it took this relationship time before he actually slept with his boyfriend. Nothing farther than that, just sleeping together. Jack was giddy. He and Goldie had cuddled before, but had never slept together.

They weren't going to undress any more than they already were. Keeping it more conservative, both were wearing t-shirts and sweats. Even though there was summer heat outside, the apartment's AC kept it nice and cool, so they were a little cold.

The time was coming to go to bed soon, since both of them were starting to doze off. Neither was really into the show they were watching, and just wanted to get to bed.

"If you want to fall asleep before I get there, you can go ahead now." Jack said sleepily to Goldie.
He yawned. "I'll wait for you."

They both smiled at each other. Jack turned of the TV, sat up on the couch, and stretched.

"How about we go now?" Jack said. "I'll get the other lights."

"Sounds great honey." Goldie replied.

Hope happily walked into the security office, surprising Spring with her smile.

"What made you so happy?" Spring asked, confused.

"I don't know maybe seeing you?" She answered playfully. She had slept well the night before having pleasant dreams, most with Spring in them. The good night's sleep and the lack of business around lunch time today put Hope in an unusually happy, and flirtatious mood.

"Well this is a pleasant surprise." Spring said, smiling at her.

"How's your day going handsome?" Hope asked coming to sit beside him.

"Handsome? You come in here all happy, which is strange enough! And then you compliment me too? What has gotten into you lovebird?" Spring asked with a smile.

"Oh hush, I'm having a good day. Believe it or not I can be happy without you giving me something to be happy about." Hope answered.

"I like it." Spring said, pulling her into his lap.

"Hey! What are you doing?" She giggled.

"Holding you. I don't know seeing you this cheerful makes me just wanna hug and hold you, and also hopefully keep you in this good of a mood."

"You don't have to be worried about keeping me happy. It's not your responsibility." Hope said, hugging Spring.

"Well, I am your boyfriend. It sort of is my responsibility to keep you safe and happy. Plus, I love seeing you smile." He replied, smiling at her.

"That's really sweet.." Hope mumbled, blushing.

"And so are you." Spring said kissing Hope on the nose.

For the first time since he had been working at Freddy's, or so it had seemed, there was a birthday party. Granted there were plenty before this one, but this was his first time ever working a party.

From what he could gather, the little boy's who birthday it was was turning five. He had a few friends there, but the rest were relatives. Annoyingly enough, it seemed his other brother had brought along some of his asshole friends, and they kept picking on the birthday boy, which the relatives had to keep reprimanding them to no avail.

The family members kept apologizing to Jack, and he didn't mind. What he would like to do is give those little heathens a good chewing out, but that wasn't his job. He took the party's order and then left to take the order to the kitchen.

On his way there he passed by the bathrooms, and he swore he heard something. Stopping and then turning around, he found the birthday boy in the entrance of the bathroom, curled up and crying. Jack was shocked for a second. Every kid who had been to Freddy's had always been elated to be here, so what was his deal?

Bending down to the kid he asked, "Hey buddy, what's wrong? Isn't it your birthday today?"

Through his sobs he replied, "I want to go home!"
"Why? Every kid loves Freddy's!"
"It's scary."
"What's so scary about it?"

"Everything!"

He went back to crying, and Jack was stumped. Then, an idea struck him.

"Hey, I know how to make this place less scary." Jack said.
"H-how?" the child said, his interest now piqued as he dried his eyes.

"Why don't we meet the people? They're friends of mine, and not at all scary."
"P-promise?"

"I promise."

The child smiled. Jack took his hand, and walked him back up front to the backstage area. Knocking on the dressing room door, it opened, revealing Toni all dressed up for the show later.

"Hey there Jack!" she said, and then looked at his side. "Is this the birthday boy?"
"Yup!" he replied. "He's a little scared. I came him here to show him that you guys aren't scary."

Toni laughed, and then talked to the child. "Us, scary? Sure we may look a little scary due to our costumes and makeup, but we're the biggest bunch of softies you've ever seen. C'mon, I'll introduce you to the others."

She led the two of them in, and the boy eased up as Frank and Carrie talked to him too. After he was calmed down enough, Jack took him back to the party. Before he left to finally get the order in, the child hugged him (more so his legs since he was short).

"Thank you mister." he said with a big grin on his face.

Jack replied with a smile on his own face. "No problem buddy. I'll make sure your pizza gets out soon."

Cheerfully, he rejoined the party, and the relatives either waved or mouthed a "thank you" to Jack. Not as if it mattered to him, he just really wanted the kid to be happy, he felt like he was going to get some generous tips today.

Strolling along back to the kitchen, he popped in and handed the order to a smiling Goldie. Jack laughed.

"What's got you all happy?" Jack said with a grin. "Me?"

"Yes," Goldie replied, "I saw what you did."

"What did I do?"
"You calmed down that kid. That was pretty cute."

"Oh, yeah, I did calm him down. I just wanted him to enjoy his birthday is all."

Goldie walked around his station to Jack and kissed him on the cheek.

"You're going to be a great dad honey." he beamed.

Hope plopped down in a chair that was in the kitchen for when the cooks weren't busy. It felt like the first time all day she had gotten to sit down. From the minute the restaurant opened she was constantly getting orders. The rush of customers would have been manageable if Hope wasn't the only one in the kitchen. Both Chica and Goldie had taken the day off due to their pregnancy symptoms. Goldie was having really bad morning sickness, and Chica was up all night with heartburn. Hope sighed as she heard the opening of the kitchen door which signified another order.

She stood and walked towards the door, staring at the floor and trying not to fall thanks to how exhausted she was. She held out her hand for the order, not looking to see who it was. She jumped when she felt someone take her hand in theirs. Hope looked up to see Spring smiling at her.

"Hey lovebird. Where's the other cooks?" He asked.

"Both are out thanks to their pregnancy symptoms. Please smack me if I ever ask to be knocked up. I do NOT want to go through that horrible experience." Hope said going back to sit down.

"Really? I mean obviously now would not be time for a child. I would rather get married before I have kids, but you don't want any?" Spring asked.

"Well… I do. It's just I'm a little afraid of pregnancy. My mom had problems, and I don't wanna go through all the trouble of being pregnant for a few months before losing him or her." She admitted.

"Well how do you know you'll have the same problems? Plus, I would be there for you and make sure that you do what's best for the child. I wouldn't let anything happen to you or the baby. That of course is making the assumption we are talking about if we had kids." Spring said, sitting on the floor next to Hope.

"Really? It sounds like you've definitely thought about having kids then." Hope said, playing with Spring's hair as she talked.

"Yeah. I didn't grow up with any siblings, but my mom ran a community day care to keep her busy after my dad passed on. I helped her with it a lot and I guess that started my love of children. I want at least two some day." He replied, thinking back on his experiences with his mom's daycare service.

"Any specific gender? And did you ever think of any names?" Hope asked, now curious.

"Oh.. Well, I don't mind what gender my kids are. Boy, girl, both, or neither. I did think up a few names. Rosie or Susie for a girl, and Theo or Samson for a boy." Spring answered, looking at Hope for her reaction.

"I like those names. Theo is a great name for a baby boy." She said with a smile.

Later on that same week of calming down the child, Jack was hanging out at Goldie's place after work. They didn't quite work until close, so it was a bit early for dinner, so they needed something to tide them over until then.

"I've got an idea!" Goldie said, racing towards his kitchen.

Jack laughed. "Oh really? What is it?"

He casually walked over to the kitchen unlike his lover. Jack watched as he grabbed some peaches and set them aside. Almost frantically looking for something in the cabinet.

"What are you looking for?" Jack asked, confused at his lover's actions. They both may be pregnant, but that doesn't mean they would understand each other's actions during their pregnancies.

"It's a surprise." Goldie said cheerfully.

After moments of looking, he found what he was looking for. It just so happened to be a bottle of vinegar. Jack watched in amazement and disgust as he watched Goldie put a few drops on a peach and then eat it.

"Oh yeah," he said, mouth full of food, "That's delicious. Want some?"

"Uh, I'll try it." Jack replied. "Not sure that I'll like it."

Grabbing the bottle and a peach, he repeated the process Goldie had just done. Taking a bite, he felt disgusted with the taste, but swallowed it anyways. Thankfully he had only put a few drops on his peach.

Goldie was laughing so hard it seemed to hurt. Jack could only blush.

"I'm sorry, but your reaction was priceless." Goldie said, calming down.

"Yeah, it was pretty gross." Jack replied with a chuckle.

"Sorry I'm weird with my pregnancy cravings."

"Oh Goldie Bear, no you aren't."

He leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Glad you understand." he said happily.

"Hey what are pregnant boyfriends for, eh?" Jack said, making Goldie laugh. "Now can we start on dinner? I'm feeling up for that potato chip pizza again."

Hope yawned as she walked out of the restaurant. It had been another average day, and both Chica and Goldie were there. The number of cooks in the kitchen and the regular flow of customers made today a boring average day. Just as the door shut behind her Spring came running out.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Hope said, looking at her boyfriend.

"Yeah. I wanted to see if we could talk a bit. I didn't see you earlier since I have the night shift tonight." Spring said, panting a little bit from running all the way from the office.

"Sure. Not to long though. I'm exhausted." She replied following him back in.

They sat in the office together, Spring quietly flipping through the cameras, and Hope watching him.

"What did you want to talk about?" She asked after a while.

"Nothing specific. I just missed you." Spring answered.

"You saw me like two days ago!" Hope exclaimed with a laugh, "How can you miss me?"

"I don't know. I just feel like my day isn't very good if I don't see you." Spring mumbled.

"That's really sweet. You really care about me don't you?" Hope asked.

"Yes. With all my heart. I don't think I've ever felt this way before. As cliche as it is I think I love you." He replied, looking to see how she would react.

"Do you really mean that? Goldie said that before and you know how that turned out." Hope said.

"Of course. I would give anything for you. I wanna be as close to you as possible." Spring said, leaning in to kiss her.

"Well.. I haven't really done anything further than kissing before." Hope said, pulling away from the kiss.

"We don't have to rush. I don't wanna do something you're uncomfortable with." Spring replied.

"I… I want to. I would like to be closer to you. I love you too." Hope said.

"Maybe next time I spend the night we'll see how it goes, but for now.." Spring trailed off pulling Hope in for a long makeout session.

More time had passed and now Jack and Goldie had scheduled their breaks at the same time to be together during them. Sitting on the couch in the employee lounge, they would talk about their day and cuddle. The lounge had expected to get a more raunchier nickname, but ended up being nicknamed "The Cuddle Room" due to Jack and Goldie's frequent visits to it.

"I've got a radical idea." Jack said, breaking the silence they allowed to settle.

"Ooh, another food idea?" Goldie asked with intense curiosity.

"No, it's about us. Like a relationship idea."

"Go on…"

"I was thinking… maybe you could come over later? And like, spend the night? We wouldn't do anything else, except maybe what we normally do, just kissing and cuddling. What do say?"

Goldie didn't reply right away, but staring at his face, Jack knew he was thinking it over long and hard. They had been moving fairly slowly, and even this was a major step in their relationship. He was hoping Goldie would say yes. He was tired of being alone in his bed. A human cuddle buddy would be a bit nicer than his stuffed bunny, Bonnie.

After a few minutes Goldie replied. "Sure, that sounds nice."

"R-really?" Jack said, sounding surprised.

"You seem a little shocked. Did you think I was going to say no?"
"Well, yeah I did. It's a big move for our relationship, and I always assume the worst so I won't be disappointed when it happens."

"That's a very pessimistic view of life, but I get it."

"Yeah, I suppose. But tonight's going to be great."

As Hope reminisced both her and Spring got more and more excited to take their relationship a step forward. The two were already starting to lose their shirts and their hands were roaming further than they had before. Soon the couple was a half naked, sweaty, panting mess.

"I think I'm ready." Hope said, looking into Spring's eyes.

"Are you sure lovebird?" Spring asked, kissing her forehead.

"Yes. Just… Be careful okay?" Hope asked.

"Of course." Spring answered.

And with that the remaining clothes were discarded.

With the last light outside the bedroom turned off, Jack and Goldie made their way to the bedroom. Unmaking each side of the bed, they climbed in, and turned off the lights on the nightstands next to them.

Awkwardly sitting up in the dark, they were preparing for what to do next.

"So, like, do you want to lay down and then I cuddle up next to you? Or vice versa?" Jack asked.

"How about we go with the first one?" Goldie said, unsure of what to do.

"Are you sure you want the first one? That sounded like you were confused."

"No I'm not! Let's go with the first one."

"Whatever you say Goldie Bear."

Sliding down, Goldie laid down on the bed, and Jack followed, putting his arms around Goldie. They laid like that for a few minutes, and then talked.

"See? Not bad at all." Jack said.
"No, it isn't." Goldie replied. "It's quite nice actually."

"Hey Goldie?"
"Yeah Jack?"

"I don't know if this is too soon, but I feel like I'm falling for you."

"Oh really? I haven't realized."

"No, like, I think I love you."

They both paused. Jack began to think he messed up when he felt Goldie shift, but he just kissed his head.

"Good, because I think I love you too." he replied.
