"New eyes?! Well, I am very happy to hear that! My eyes have been frustrating me for the last week, and I have been hope it would stop." Roxy was smiling as she listened to Saphira tell the animatronics about the eye upgrades that she planned for them. Saphira was sitting by the cylinder console on a chair with a smile. "I cannot be perfect if not even my eyes are perfect!"
Happy Frog chuckled as she listened to Roxy go on about her eyes. "I am surprised that you never mentioned it, Roxy. I am sure that Darren would have been able to fix them. But that isn't necessary now that we have new eyes."
Roxy huffed as she placed her hands on her hips. "Even if he could have fixed them, they would not be new. And since Saphira only wants a few of us to trial these new eyes, I want to be first to have them. Nobody should question me."
Saphira chuckled softly as she listened to Roxy. "I am glad that you are willing to volunteer, Roxy. But Happy Frog is right, you should have said something about your eyes. What exactly is wrong?"
Roxy groaned with a roll of her eyes. "Well, they have been twitching randomly. It does not happen all the time, but when they twitch, it's super annoying. And I swear my sight isn't as clear as they should be."
Saphira frowned and looked at Darren. "Didn't the cylinder ever pick up on errors around Roxy's face? The twitching sounds like an issue in the wiring."
Darren shook his head. "No, it never did. So I am surprised that has been happening. But since she's getting a new upgrade, maybe I will check the wires in case the cylinder is missing them."
"Good idea." Saphira sighed as she rubbed her stomach as she felt the twins moving inside. "I should put in the configurations now. Did you want to get your upgrade first, Roxy? Or…"
"Yes! I am first, because I am the best!" Roxy interrupts suddenly, stepping closer to the cylinder door with a frown. "You are not going to make me wait in line. That is not going to happen."
Saphira chuckled softly as she clicked Roxy's profile and hit eye upgrade. She put in the configurations for the new eyes and hit enter. "And I have to wait for each animatronic to be finished because I have to put in the configuration in manually for each bot."
"That's a pain," Darren comments as Roxy walked into the cylinder once the door opened and she sat down on the chair. "I'll try and be quick about it, and I'll make sure to not make any mistakes."
Saphira nodded as she watched him wall into the cylinder. She sighed before moving to stand. "Help me to my feet, Freddy. I want to move around. Kyle legs are feeling numb."
Freddy looked at her in surprise before helping Saphira up from the chair and she began to walk around. "Is there any other way to prevent your legs from being numb?"
"Sure, giving birth." The bot frowned a little at Saphira's sarcastic remark. "Don't look at me like that, Freddy. That is the only way to stop my legs from numbing. The weight of the twins are pressing against my lower back and everything inside of me. There's really no other way to get comfortable right now."
"I don't know why you would forget what she told us at the start of her pregnancy, Freddy," Me Hippo said with a light chuckle. "While she didn't specify, the twins are probably pressing against her internals and that is why when they kick or move, it's uncomfortable. That's why she goes to the bathroom a lot."
"I have not forgotten, I just wasn't expecting that response. I apologize." Freddy watched as Saphira walked around the tables. She had her hands on her back as she walked. He felt awful that she was uncomfortable, and there was nothing he could do. His programming keeps telling him to take her to first aid, but he knows that will do nothing for her. "It is too bad that I cannot help you in any other way to get comfortable, Saphira. My system tells me you need first aid, but I know it is not true."
She smiled at him as she appreciated his concern about her. "I personally am not surprised. It will probably go rather crazy when I go into labor, but I fully understand, Freddy. I am sorry I cannot give you another way to help me get comfortable, but that is the honest truth. There is no other way. And it will be a long time before I will be fully comfortable once I have given birth. You only need to be there with me, Freddy. You are the only comfort I need."
Freddy smiled as he was very happy to hear she only wanted him to be her comfort, and no one else. It was very nice to hear. "And I shall do my very best, super star." She nodded in agreement with a smile before grimacing with a light whimper. Freddy watched her hands move to her stomach before worry filled her face. "How strong do you think the twins will become?"
She shrugged with a shake of her head. "I don't know, Freddy. But I do hope that they won't be too much stronger. They have already caused enough bruising. I had hoped the metal they would grow with would not be strong, and it hasn't been, but I guess it is starting to strengthen. And it has been enough."
"I am truly sorry, Saphira. I guess even though this was something forced upon you, I am sure you had hoped for something different." She nodded in agreement as she kept walking around. "Did you want us to get you something to eat or drink? I know it is very tiring for you. Maybe apples and…"
"No, Freddy, I don't want to eat right now. But thanks." She smiled at him kindly, glancing into the cylinder to see Roxy's old eyes before removed from her face. "Ugh, I really, really hope the new eyes will be good."
"I am certain that they will be, Saphira. You have worked too hard over these past months for them to be a failure. Besides…" Mr Hippo turned his head to look through the glass with a smirk. "Roxy will tell us once she gets her upgrade on how well the new eyes are. She's always been a perfectionist, so it will be very known if it is a success. But you have worked hard." He looked back at her with a smile as she walked by the window of the cylinder. "Harder than anyone else that I know." He glanced towards the doors of Parts and Service. He half expected to see an endo peering through the window, but there was none. "Even though you had no choice."
"Well, my body is making two new people, so I most certainly have been," Saphira said with a light chuckle. "At least my legs feel a bit better." She looked at Freddy as she moved back over to the seat. "Can you rub my legs? I think they really need a good massage."
"Of course, super star. Sit, relax and I will relieve any pent-up stress in your muscles." She raised an eyebrow him with a slight blush. Freddy smirked back at her as he walked over to her and knelt down to begin massaging her muscles. "How many of us do you think should receive the new eyes? Roxy, Mr Hippo and Bonnie have all opted to volunteer, and I am happy to wait. Although I have considered getting new fists."
"I can get you your new fists today, Freddy," Saphira said softly as she looked into the cylinder. She saw the arms moving to place the new eyes back into Roxy's sockets and Darren going through the sequence on making sure things would run smoothly. "If you need more time, you can have it, but nothing is going to change other than give you something stronger. Besides, I would feel safer with you."
Freddy did not respond as he was still uncertain about upgrading his hands. He felt it was unnecessary, but it was true they would be stronger, and he would be able to protect Saphira better if he needed to. And while his own protocol wasn't violent, Freddy himself has changed. He was more prepared to fight if needed than he has before. Twelve months ago he would never have raised a fist at a human, but that might not be the case now. Saphira's family in particular. While he might not kill a person, he will do what he can to protect Saphira. Staff bots are most certainly not the same as humans.
The cylinder raised up slowly as Darren walked out to complete the upgrade through the system. "The upgrade is officially done, Saphira. Hopefully they will run like you hope they would. I personally do not know what you have done, but I trust you." He finished the report on the computer before looking at Roxy as she walked out of the cylinder, rubbing her eyes. "Roxy, I am not sure if rubbing them is going to make them adjust quicker."
Roxy simply glared at Darren before blinking in surprise as she looked around. Saphira observed Roxy as it seemed as though she was seeing for the first time. She had an expression of awe and curiosity on her face. "So? How is it? Did I do a good job?"
"I have no idea what you have done. I am having…an interesting time adjusting to them," Roxy responded as she blinked and looked around. "This is fascinating. It is as if you have improved my eyesight so much. Everything seems so much clearer." She turned her head slightly as though she noticed something. "I can see movement through the walls, and senses I never picked up on."
"Wait, really?" Saphira was very surprised to hear the result of the new eyes, and she was very happy to hear it at the same time. "I didn't know I had done that. All I wanted to do was to make things clearer regarding a certain situation." Freddy glanced at her as he noticed she did not specify Vanessa. Most likely due to the possibility of Springtrap listening in. "Not literally improve the eyes like that."
"We don't know if it will work with that situation, all I know is my eyes are perfect!" Roxy smiled proudly and turned to Saphira. "I would love to hug and spin you around right now…" The girl immediately gave an expression disapproval. "But would a simple hug do?" Her tail was wagging slightly as her ears droop, she was very happy about the result it would seem. "You are amazing, Saphira. You might no be me, but you're close."
Saphira smiled as she shifted. Freddy stood back up and helped her to her feet as she faced Roxanne. "Thank you, Roxy. I was not sure how successful the eyes will be, but I am pleased." The animatronic embraced her gently and Saphira wholeheartedly appreciated it. "Just so you know, if you see her, don't act like you can see it."
"That's going to be difficult to do, but I will do my best. You have my word." Roxy rubbed Saphira's back before stepping back in surprise, looking at the girl's stomach as she widened her eyes. "Oh, I see, the kids don't like mommy getting hugs from Aunt Roxanne." She placed her hands on her hips as Saphira rubbed stomach with a smile, amused that Roxy felt the kick against her stomach. "You two are already causing a lot trouble. I can see you both being a heap of trouble in the future. By the way…" Roxy looked at Saphira with a curious expression. "Have you gone over names yet?"
Saphira was immediately caught off guard as she really had not thought about. "Um…I have kind of gone over some names, but I am not sure what I really like yet. And I have been so preoccupied, I really haven't sat down and thought of any. With two twins, we don't even know what they are yet. But I guess my mind is so focused on everything else that I probably won't even give them a name until after they are born."
Roxy seemed surprised by the answer, but she simply smiled. "I definitely know we can suggest names that we like. There was a kid I was talking to today named Claudia, and I thought…" Saphira shook her head immediately. "Aw, you don't like the name?"
"Sorry, no. I don't. But look, please don't rush this on me, okay? I haven't even been able to feel excited about having these babies. And it is hard to feel excited." Saphira caressed her stomach thoughtfully before turning to the console, ignoring the sad gazes from everyone. "I believe we should upgrade Bonnie's eyes next. I think one other bot should test the eyes as well."
Monty huffed a little as he moved his jaw slightly. "I might have thought you were crazy before, Bon Bon, but I think I might get the new eyes too. I already have the better fists to help protect our Saphira, but being able to see better will be absolutely necessary. And maybe we can find this kid easier too." Saphira was pleased to hear Monty decide to get the new eyes as well. "If we all see what Roxy sees, we should have no problem."
Saphira nodded in agreement. "Yeah. But I want to remind you to not hurt the kid. He's not himself." The gator grumbled and Saphira sat back down, turning to the console to type in the same configurations to upgrade Bonnie's eyes. "I would rather figure out how to free him without hurting him unnecessarily."
"You are starting to sound like Freddy," Monty said with a smirk.
Freddy rolled his eyes at Monty with an amused expression. "She also is to be a mother to two babies that should be here very soon. It should not be a surprise she would not wish harm to this child. As of yet, we haven't really seen what he does."
"Strangely enough, I have noticed something," Saphira said as she typed on the screen. "I discovered that Vanessa and that kid often speak. I think Springtrap's found a way to communicate with Vanessa this way, but I am not entirely sure how. But the kid has obviously been doing stuff for him. When he's not doing that, I have found high scores on different arcade machines, so I am thinking he's playing them as well."
"I am just wondering how the kid manages to sneak around without any of us finding him. Maybe Springtrap knows this place better than us, and gave that information to the kid somehow," Darren said thoughtfully as he waited patiently for Saphira finished inputting the configurations for Bonnie. "It's annoying that we don't even know what the kid looks like. Anyway, do you have to repeatedly put the configurations into the console for each bot?"
"Yeah, I am afraid so. I can just copy and paste it. Though it would be convenient." She sighed as she hit enter and looked at Darren as the cylinder reopened. "At least it is only a couple of the bots. But Freddy may want his fists to be upgraded afterwards."
"Seems like this how the night will go. I hope no one needs serious maintenance while this happens." The bots shake their heads at Darren as he looked at them. "Hopefully there's enough time to do some renovations tonight."
"You'll have to show me where you intend to make the apartment, Darren," Saphira said as Bonnie walked into the cylinder. "I want to get to know how to get there."
"Um…I'll show you when it is safe. It isn't safe right now for you to walk around that area, mostly because there is a bunch of stuff over the place, so when it is clear, I'll take you." He smiled at her as she listened to him quietly. He walked into the cylinder as Bonnie sat down. "I will make sure it is finished very soon."
"I hope so." Saphira did not know if there would be a heap of setbacks or not as she knew that Springtrap would not be paying for it. "But just know I do not need anything fancy. Just the basics for now, and enough room for a nursery."
Darren smiled at her with a nod as the door closed. Saphira looked at Freddy as he knelt back down to massage her legs, smiling as she fully appreciated it. The desire to paint a nursery was there. But she had no room to even do that. She had only bought diapers for the twins so far, there was no clothes or crib yet for them, even though she knew that there was a plan on getting her cribs for the babies. But there was no nursery yet. Saphira could not help but feel sad and emotional all of a sudden.
She bit her lip as she looked into the cylinder before she suddenly burst into tears. Freddy looked up in alarm and he stood back up, placing his hand on her back. "What is the matter, Saphira?" He widened his eyes when she turned and threw her arms around him and sobbed into his chest. "Easy, there, super star." He rubbed her back gently as he held her close. "Let it out."
Mr Hippo walked over with a smile. "I guess it can't be helped. She did warn this would happen." Freddy nodded in agreement without looking at him. "But I would say it could also be due to the dart earlier. I don't blame her. Remembering it just makes me angry and protective." He pondered on it for a moment before speaking again. "And you really should not hesitate about the hand upgrade. Foxy and Foxette are the only ones who cannot have those hands, mostly because their endoskeletons are not designed for them. And Foxy, obviously, has a hook."
Foxy smirked at Mr Hippo. "Argh, but I can be very helpful, even if me hands aren't strong."
Foxette nodded in agreement with a smile. "I agree with Foxy. We are fast compared to you, and we can use that if needed. The rest of you are heavier than us."
Orville huffed in amusement. "Madam, I do believe we are just as fast as you can be, jeune femme." Foxette giggled at Orville's response, and he raised his index finger, pointing upward. "If you believe that we are not fast, we can always have a race."
"A race?" Roxy scoffed with a roll of eyes. "If it is not at the raceway, it is not worth doing. I am faster than you too, Orville. But…" She grimaced as she was about to say it. "I hate to admit it, but these two are faster than me. That's the only thing…but I am still the best. I can always find a way around that issue."
Foxy chuckled at the wolf. "I guess it all depends on which direction the wind blows. Winnin' is not always everythin', Roxy. The lass here would not care how fast or how strong we are, just that we are here to help her."
"I think a part of her does care," Monty said as he adjusted his glasses slightly. "Only for protection, of course, but once we deal with this issue, she definitely won't care."
Saphira sniffled a little as she looked up at Freddy. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to cry suddenly."
Freddy smiled at her and kissed her forehead gently. "It is okay, super star. If you have a reason why to cry, it is nothing to be ashamed of. It is better than bottling it up inside." She nodded and he gently wiped her cheek with his thumbs. "What is on your mind? Was the threat on your mind?"
She shook her head. "I was upset because I haven't been able to find excitement and happiness about this pregnancy. And…well, I am not sure of we will even get to make the nursery. It is part of getting ready for babies, and we haven't even been able to do it. If Darren gets this renovation done soon, I know we won't have time to get the nursery." Freddy softens his expression as he listened to her. "I have always liked your room, Freddy, and I had considered using it as a base for making the nursery. And maybe Mr Hippo's as well."
"I see. I guess the process of building the place that the little ones will sleep in is a journey that humans enjoy." Saphira nodded as Freddy thought it over. He leaned in and kissed her, and she kissed back passionately. "I do not think you should feel sad, Saphira. I understand why you want to do that, and it does sound like a great experience, but I think you will be happier when Glitchtrap is gone, when we deal with your family and Springtrap. I believe that you will not enjoy the nursery building with that hanging over your head."
"I guess you are right. But…I guess I just know that with everything that has happened, sometimes I wonder what it would be like without all that hanging over our head." Saphira kissed Freddy again with a smile. "I am really sorry for crying over it though. I know it is my hormones." She chuckled a little and sniffled again. "I didn't mean to make you worry."
"As I said before, Saphira, you do not need to be sorry about crying," Freddy responded gently, rubbing the side of her head gently, with his claws running through the black strands of her hair. "I love you, Saphira, and ever since I have met you, my priorities have changed and I am prepared to stay by your side when things are hard, and when things are good. You are my super star."
Saphira smiled at him, feeling her cheeks heat up as she listened to him. "Thank you, Freddy. I love you too. And it has been quite an adventure working here, and getting to know you." She kissed him again and lifts her hand to rub the back of his head. "And even though a lot of these things have happened, I am glad to have met you."
"Me too." Saphira shivered a little as Freddy's voice purred gently and kissed her again. "I know apologizing will not change what has happened to you, and I hope things will be better soon. And I will be by your side the whole way."
Saphira felt tears in her eyes as she felt like she was going to cry again. "I think I'm going to cry again." She sniffled a little with a light chuckle. "But thank you, Freddy. I love you."
"Oh pa-lease! Is this the place for you both to get all cushy like that?" Saphira and Freddy turn their heads in surprise when Roxy complained loudly. The wolf had her arms crossed. "There are plenty of times for you to do that, this isn't the place."
Saphira and Freddy began to chuckle in amusement at Roxy. Happy Frog walked over to Roxy and placed her arm around the wolf's shoulders. "Really, Wolfie? Are their affection making you jealous, hmm?" Happy Frog laid her cheek on Roxy's shoulder. Roxy was trying to ignore the frog, but it was clear she was having a hard time. "Come on, Roxy, they're only saying nice things to each other. Besides, I think it is lovely. And just like them, I love you, Roxy."
The wolf ignored Happy Frog for a little bit before turning her head with a softened expression. "You really like to play dirty," She said suggestively. The two bots kiss suddenly, and Saphira smiled as she knew that Happy Frog got Roxy to relax. "I guess you are right. Do you want to get new eyes too?"
Happy Frog chuckled. "Not yet. There's only going to be a few volunteers until we know the eyes work. And then after, I'll be perfect like you, my sweet, little wolf."
Monty grumbled with a roll of his eyes. "Freddy, you and Saphira just had to make a domino effect, didn't you?"
"That was not our intent. I just wanted to let Saphira know how much I feel about her, and I love her deeply." Freddy kissed Saphira again and knelt back down. "I believe you still want your legs to be massaged."
"Thank you, Freddy." She smiled at him and rubbed the top of his head and looked at the top hat. "I love you."
Saphira's cheeks were still blushing. She went back over what Freddy had said to her. She couldn't think of any human who would stay by someone through the best and worst of their life. She knew she was super lucky. Darren finished giving Bonnie new eyes, and the animatronic said the eyes were the same for him like Roxy. His vision is clearer and can see movement through walls. It was certainly something she didn't expect to happen simply by changing the frequency of the eyes just to see Vanessa in her rabbit suit. She didn't know if it will be good, but it could be very useful. Mr Hippo walked into the cylinder next to get his eye upgrade next, and Monty soon would get his and Freddy finally got his new hands. They didn't look any different with the casings on, but they were stronger. These were the same hands that Bonnie, Monty, Mr Hippo, Pigpatch and Orville had to play their guitars better. Chica, Happy Frog and Roxy had the same, even if they didn't need them. Saphira still had a bunch of uncertainty for the future, but she was hopeful.
I don't know about you, but I never thought I would see a whole year basically dedicated to Five Nights at Freddy's. I'm super excited to play Ruin, see the movie and watch Markiplier play through Ruin and Help Wanted 2. Poor MatPat lol.
