"(Y/N)?" You hear a quiet voice from the couch.
"Yes, Elizabeth?" You ask as the 6 am bells ring throughout the restaurant. Its finally the end to the night. The end to the screaming. Luckily, Elizabeth didn't wake up at all during the whole thing. The bad thing is you had to listen to the sounds alone.
"Is this a dream?" She asks tiredly. You laugh lightly.
"No, honey. It isn't" She smiles, her eyes still closed.
"Its a bit early. You should go back to sleep, Elizabeth." You urge, but she slowly sits up. She rubs her eyes and swings her legs off the side of the couch you set her on last night. Her feet don't touch the ground.
"But I don't want to," Her stomach growls loudly, "and I'm really hungry." You stand up and hold her in your arms. You walk out of the room and almost drop her in surprise. The usual clean dining room is now filled with red footsteps. You recognize it as blood. Elizabeth tries to look, but you gently push her back down.
"Its nothing," You say and she nods before closing her eyes again. The footsteps lead to the storage room, but you quickly walk towards the kitchen, making sure Elizabeth doesn't see anything behind or in front of you. You open the dark kitchen and turn on the light.
"I've never been in here!" Elizabeth says excitedly as you put her down. She runs around, stretching out her legs. You watch her with amusement. You never knew children could be this hyper early in the morning.
"Honey, why don't you sit down while I get food." She obeys and quickly jumps into one of the spare chairs. You walk over to the fridge and open it up, looking for something other then pizza. Sadly, you don't see anything. "Elizabeth, can you eat pizza for breakfast?" She laughs.
"No, silly! Thats bad for me!" You laugh and then sigh. 'What now?' You try to figure out what she can eat when you hear her scream. Startled and scared that Elizabeth is being attacked, you turn to see a familiar blonde man.
"Goldie!" You scream, ready to slap him. Then, you realize you probably shouldn't in front of Elizabeth.
"Relax! Hey. Why are you still a robot?" He asks, confused. You look over at Elizabeth's confused and scared face.
"Goldie! You scared Elizabeth!" You scold him and he grins.
"Sorry?" He laughs and you glare at him.
"Get out of here," You point at the door and he turns away.
"Okay~ I just thought you might want some money to go shopping with your... uh... daughter." Your eyes widen. 'Daughter?' You like the sound of that.
"Wait. Money?" You realize you need to buy stuff if Elizabeth is going to stay with you, "How do you have money?"
"Thats besides the point." He says quickly and you drop the subject. He pulls out a stack of bills from his pocket, "I thought you might need this." You grab the money. "You owe me," He whispers before disappearing. You stare at the money. Its a stack of 10 dollar bills. About 400 dollars in all.
"(Y/N)?" Elizabeth says and you snap out of your trance.
"Uh.. yes?" You look up at her face. Shes smiling, but looks confused at the same time.
"Are we going shopping?" You nod yes. She breaks into a big smile. "Yay! I love shopping!" She squeals.
"Can I show you a secret?" You ask and she looks up at you.
"Yep!"
"Watch," You open up your chest. Slowly, you crawl out. When you open your human eyes, you see Elizabeth look up at you in wonder.
"Your a human?"
"Well, no. Its a bit to hard to-" She hugs you tightly.
"That means you can be my mommy now!" You blush.
"I- I think as first act of being your... uh... mommy... is to get you cleaned up," You say, noticing the dirt all over her face. She still has bed head and her nails are long.
"Makeovers?" her face brightens.
"Makeovers." She laughs and you pull her over to the sink. "Here. Sit down and we will wash your face." You grab a wet rag and sit down in front of her. You put her hair behind her ears and start to wipe off the dirt. Her skin is pale once all the dirt is off. "There!" You clap and stand up, pulling Elizabeth up with you.
"What now?" She asks.
"Um," You don't really know. You don't have nail clippers, "What about your hair?" She nods. You pick her up and walk out of the kitchen. Now, the blood prints are gone and the room is clean once more. You sigh in relief as you walk through it and into the break room. Elizabeth jumps out of your arms and runs across the room.
"HOLY CRA-"
"BONNIE. THERE'S A CHILD." You hear two familiar voices scream. Elizabeth jumps and runs back to you, scared.
"Sorry," Bonnie mumbles. You see that they are in their human forms also.
"You guys scared her," You growl, angry.
"What?" Bonnie asks, "the kid?"
"Her name is Elizabeth," Chica says.
"Whatever. Why is a kid here? Especially on our day off?" He asks, sounding a bit annoyed.
"She lives with me now." You start to explain when Elizabeth laughs.
"Shes my mommy!" She squeals and the other two's eyes open wide.
"What?!" They say in unison.
"She... uh... I'll tell you later," You whisper, "Go grab your brush, honey," She runs back across the room and rummages through her small bag.
"So, this Elizabeth girl. She lives here now?" Bonnie asks. You nod.
"Found it!" Elizabeth yells as she runs back towards you.
"Great! Now come on!" You sit down on the couch and she sits in front of you. You carefully brush through her long tangled hair, trying not to hurt her, but failing miserably. Bonnie watches with curiosity, while Chica watches in amusement.
"Ow," Elizabeth says for the 10th time.
"Sorry! I'm new at this," You laugh as you finally brush through the last knot.
"Can we go shopping now?" Elizabeth ask excitedly.
"Yep! Just put on a jacket," You reach in the lost and found box, pulling out a cute, but worn out, purple sweatshirt. She pulls it over her head and follows you out the door.
"How are we going to get there?" She asks. Its very cold outside and you know her sweatshirt won't keep her small body warm.
"I.. I don't really know," You say as you step outside of the pizzeria. The cold December air chills you right away.
"We could go by bus! Or Taxi!" She starts listing ways of transportation, going as far to say airplane.
"I don't think we can go by airplane," You giggle and she fake pouts.
"Aw. Look, mommy!" She points at the blue bus at the bus stop.
"Quick!" You kneel down and beckon her to jump on your back. She jumps on and you hold her tightly, sprinting towards the bus. You reach it just as its driving away. "Oh thank god- goodness," You correct yourself. You step on the crowded bus, Elizabeth still on your back.
"Hi!" The bus driver greets you and you freeze.
"What do I do?" You whisper to Elizabeth and the bus driver laughs. Apparently, you weren't as quiet as you thought.
"Put the money in the box, hun." The bus driver helps you get the right amount of money and gives you back change. Elizabeth jumps off your back and pulls you to the back of the bus. All the seats are taken. That is, until a man and his teenage son stands up.
"Here. You and your daughter need these more than us," He says. Before you can deny, he puts a hand up. "We can stand." The teenager looks annoyed, but smiles at Elizabeth. You sit down next to your 'daughter', who holds your hand and leans her small head on your arm. You lean your head on the top of hers.
"Mommy?" Elizabeth asks. Shes already used to calling you her mommy.
"Yes, honey?" Just like how you have grown to call her honey.
"Can we always stay like this?" She asks quietly, getting warm smiles from the people around who heard her. You laugh lightly.
"Yes, honey. We can."
"You and your daughter are adorable," A woman next to you compliments you and Elizabeth.
"Thank you!" You smile and lean back on Elizabeth.
"Grocery store!" The bus driver yells. You quickly stand up and Elizabeth does the same.
"Yay!" She squeals as you two get off the bus. A large store is in front of you.
"So this is a store..." You say quietly as Elizabeth starts to run towards it. "Elizabeth! No!" You scream and she stops, looking back to you. "We are in a parking lot!" You scold her and she looks at the ground sadly.
"Sorry mommy..." She says sadly and you feel bad.
"I- its okay! Just don't do it again." You say and she nods, the smile returning to her face. You hold her hand and walk up to the grocery store.
