Chapter Four; The Sleepover
Alright first of all thank you for your last couple of reviews in my last story, I wish you would put your story up but I understand if you don't. And the reason I was going to cancel the series is since it didn't seem like very many people were commenting on my stories I figured it was because they didn't like them and I sort of lost my self-confidence a bit. But then I remembered how much I loved writing and that since most of my stories are about believing in your dreams, that I should start taking my own advice. Anyway, yes I know Tiffany didn't want to have any more children before, but I thought that it would be cute if she did. Alright, so anyway enjoy this chapter! Some of it is a little sad, but a lot of it is pretty cute! :P
Chucky and Tiffany had some pretty exciting news to share at Glen's going away party. Since they couldn't leave the new puppy at home for any length of time, they decided to have the party at their house. Tiffany cleared her throat and stood in front of the banner that wished her son good luck. "May I have your attention please?" she questioned as she tapped a silver spoon on top of her wineglass. Everyone stopped talking and looked over at her. "I have an announcement to make." She began. "As most of you know, I recently went to the doctor's because Chucky and I have been having a hunch that I'm pregnant. "Well it turns out that after my checkup I found out that I am." She said happily as Chucky simply grinned as everyone else started to cheer.
"Well Mary, it looks like you're going to be a big sister." Glen said to her. "No I'm not!" she exclaimed. "Mary, what's going on? Chucky and Tiffany are your best friends, it sure sounded like you would be happy for them, and I really thought you would be." Her mother told her. "I am, but I'm not really part of their family. And besides, I don't get to spend all that much time with them already. And after the baby comes, they'll just forget all about me." She said before quickly running upstairs and slammed the door behind her.
"Well, that went well." Tiffany said. "I'll go talk to her." Chucky said before running up the stairs after her. "Mary," he began with a knock on the door. "it's Chucky can we talk?" he asked her. "Sure, it's your house." She answered as he simply heaved a sigh before slowly turning the knob and entering the room. As soon as he sat down on the bed next to her Pumpkin leapt up on it and laid down. "What do you want to talk about?" she asked him as he started to scratch the side of his face causing him to purr. "About you." Chucky began.
"Sweetheart, whatever made you think that Tiffany and I would forget about you? It may be in a different way, but we're a family remember?" he questioned. "I know, but it just seems like you never have time for me anymore. I just really miss you." She said sadly. "I know," he began as he suddenly pulled his hand away from the cat. "And I miss you too. Maybe that means that we should spend some time together." He told her. "You mean rehearsing?" she questioned. "No, I mean one on one just like we used to do in the old days." He told her.
"Really?" she asked him eagerly. "What do you say about sleeping over here tonight? Now that we know there's really a bun in Tiff's oven we don't have anything else that we're doing. Except taking care of the animals. And I bet you would be a real big help with that." He said as she quickly grabbed him and hugged him tightly. "Oh Chucky! Thank you! This is going to be so great! I can't wait to tell my mom!" she cried excitedly as he hugged her back. "Yeah, you're welcome kid." He said a bit somberly. "What's wrong Chucky?" she questioned sensing the sadness inside his voice.
"Nothing. I guess I'm just a little tired, that's all." He said. "Yeah well I can understand that," she began before letting go of him. "I mean you and Tiffany are getting ready to be parents again and you're getting ready to send your son off to college. I'll be right back, I have to use the bathroom." She told him as he simply heaved a heavy sigh while watching her run into the hallway. Pumpkin meowed and started purring inside his ear. Chucky started to stroke his back when suddenly Tiffany came into the room and the cat leapt off of the bed and ran over to her.
"Did you tell her?" Tiffany asked him as she picked the cat up and carried him back over to the bed. "I couldn't, I just didn't have the heart to. That's why I invited her to sleepover here tonight, that way she'll have a bit of fun before she'll be faced with the fact that her mother has terminal cancer." He said sadly with another sigh. "Oh Chucky, you're doing everything you can for her." Tiffany reassured him. "I know Tiff, but who's going to take care of her when it happens? I mean I don't want the poor kid to be sent away to some orphanage. Besides, I'd never see her again." He said.
"I know Chucky and that's why she won't, I think we should be the ones to take care of her and raise her." She told him. "As much as I would to love to say that we could, we can't. We're dolls Tiff, face it. It's a fact of life. And Mary needs a real family with a normal lifestyle to take care of her." He explained. "Yes but there is also one important thing that she needs Chucky." She told him. "What's that?" he questioned. "Love." She answered. "She needs you Chucky, because you love her more than anyone else ever could. And I love her too, but to be honest I could ever only love her half as much as you do." She said. "You're right Tiff, I love her more than anything. I love her so fucking much that it's even more than life itself. And that's why I have to do what's best for her and let her go." He said as he hung his head with a sad sigh before leaping back down to the ground and slowly leaving the room.

"Alright come on sweetface, it's time to get your pajamas on." Tiffany told Mary while she played a game of tug-a-war with Stanley. "Aww! Already! Tiffany, with all due respect it's a sleepover, and nobody is supposed to go to sleep at a sleepover." Mary said as Chucky grinned. "She's right, it's in the rulebook." He said. "Yeah and I imagine it's because you wrote that book!" she snapped as he chuckled a little bit. "How about we compromise?" Tiffany began. "Mary can still up late if she puts on her pajamas and brushes her teeth." She said. "Deal!" Mary exclaimed as she quickly got up to her feet and ran into the bedroom quickly shutting the door behind her.
"I'm going to take this little guy outside and make sure that he does his business." Chucky said as he picked up the little puppy. "Good, did you hear any news about the ad you placed in the paper?" she asked him. "No, not yet. I think it's safe to say that Stanley's here for good. I just hope he does a good job of keeping that cat of yours in line!" he snapped before he started carrying the puppy towards the back door. Tiffany simply shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Men!" she snapped.
That night Chucky and Mary got into a pillow fight before Tiffany popped some popcorn and the three of them stayed up pretty late watching a scary movie. By the end of it all, Chucky and Mary were fast asleep on the couch in each other's arms. Tiffany smiled down at them and quickly tossed a blanket over on top of them before heading upstairs to bed.
AWWWWWWWW! Wasn't that cute!? :P I think it's funny that Chucky is a typical guy and not wanting to admit that deep down he really likes the cat, he just doesn't want to like to like it.
