Prologue: The Dancing Bear
As thunder cracked outside and rain poured, the city was dark and dim as it was just rolling past midnight. One small part of town was quiet as the neon sign outside glowed brightly.
Fazclaire's Nightclub
No one was inside as the owner had left for the day and there was no new night guard around to watch over them. That was ok because what was inside the building…wanted to be left alone for the time being.
Inside the club's women's bathroom sat one of the animatronic girls that lived and worked in the facility. There were four main girls that were around the club, and it was the bear that was inside the room at the moment. Without a nightguard to watch them they roamed around without worry. It was the perfect time for her to do something she's been holding off for a month. She sat in one of the stalls, crying as she had the door locked. She really fucked up but at the same time…it wasn't her fault.
In her hand she held something and it was…life changing. She honestly didn't even realize it was something her body or programming could do…but she found out that it was now. She was lost on what to do…she couldn't do this.
"Frenni? You ok?" A girl's voice called out as they entered the bathroom.
The bear, Frenni, gasped from being surprised and tried to talk through her crying. "Yes Bonfie, I'm ok. Today just…got to me is all." She lied.
"Are you sure?" The purple bunny, Bonfie, asked as she walked up closer to the door.
"I'm sure. Can you please…just leave me alone for right now?" Frenni asked sadly.
Bonfie's ears went back at her friend's upset voice but understood. "Ok darling, I'll be around if you need me ok? I'm going to go to the arcade and play a bit."
"I'll probably see you there later. I just need time to think." Frenni told her.
The bunny went and walked out of the bathroom and the bear was alone again. She sighed and looked down at the item she had gripped in her hand. It was a pregnancy test…and it was positive.
"What the fuck am I going to do?" She whispered to herself and started to cry again. "I bet it was that fucking bear's fault! He let the condom break and didn't even tell me. Just kept going, greedy mother fucker. No wonder it felt so good." She sighed. "I have to figure out something…I can't keep this. Not with the nightclub open and it's not like I can leave." Her mind started to think of what to do. "I can't…kill it. That's not fair to it. At the same time how can I hide it if I get any bigger? Fuck."
Frenni was really at a loss. Trying to be the main front girl of the nightclub was something that weighed on her. Now this added onto it. She had to figure out what to do…quickly. If anything…she just had to be incredibly careful the next few months.
Finally getting the courage to leave the stall, she opens the door and throws away the test. Hopefully, the other girls wouldn't think to look for it. She couldn't tell them, even though they were her friends. She couldn't go through with telling them. Who knows what they would think or even say? Especially Fexa with her smart-ass mouth. Chiku might understand since she was the most motherly of the group, but at the same time she didn't trust her to keep this a secret.
The bear animatronic stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked at herself with a sigh. Her hand automatically goes to her stomach without a thought." My life is already hard enough being here in this club. It's not safe to raise a kid here…I don't want to get rid of it though. What can I do?" She felt a spike of anger a moment and put her face in her hands as she gripped her hair. "Fuck!"
She cried again and sank to her knees and sat on the floor. She had to figure this out. It was then she had an idea. There was a computer in the night guard's office. There wasn't one right now…so it would be possible for her to search for something on there. She quickly got up and ran out of the bathroom and down the hall to the office.
Luckily, the camera in the office was still broken thanks to the last night guard, so she wouldn't get caught. So, she jumped on the computer and started to search around. Trying to find some kind of answer to her problem. She searched all night. Every time one of her friends came to check on her she pulled up something else. Saying she was learning some new moves to practice. It passed them and they left her alone.
After searching for the last three hours, she finally found something! It was an adoption program that helped with rehoming children of any age. Even parents who were pregnant now but did not want to take the abortion route. They basically give up their newborns after birth so they can be rehomed to a family looking for a child. This was perfect!
Luckily for her, they had an application online. So, she filled it out. She hoped this would be the right decision, not just for her…but her baby too.
After Frenni filled out that application, she received a call a few days later. Just recently she had been upgraded to have a built-in phone for her so she could communicate. Of course, it was only for calling but it was useful and just a prototype they used for her for now. The lady on the other side was nice and understanding of Frenni's situation. Living and working at a nightclub was definitely no place for a child.
The next few months went by. The lady from the program called her each month to keep updates on her now and then. This whole time the bear had to keep her pregnancy on the downlow to everyone…even her friends.
Luckily, she didn't show all that much during it, much to her surprise. Plus, the owner didn't seem to take mind to her very tiny bump she had. They figured she was just trying a fresh look for her programming. Seeing what people liked.
There was a new night guard during this time but he got caught with Fexa one night and was fired. Luckily for Frenni…this day when she felt something was off with her halfway through the night, she could do it privately.
Once the club was closed, Frenni asked the girls to please leave her alone that night as she wasn't having a good time. So, they listened and the animatronic bear went behind her stage alone to deal with the pain she was having while she was working. She felt she knew what was going on and what was happening. She made sure to give the lady working the program a call and let her know what was going on. She said she would be there in about a few hours since their office was a bit away. Agreeing, Frenni told them to meet her out back in the alleyway, there was a door back there to her stage. She could slip out quickly to hand them the newborn and go back into the nightclub without anyone noticing.
It was a little after 3am when finally, there was something now on the floor between Frenni's legs. She was amazed at what her animatronic body could do honestly and this was something she didn't think she would be able to. She carried this little one for nine months and kept them protected from the world outside so they could grow. It was like she was a holding pod for the little one.
The baby looked like a bear, correcting her suspicions it was the client from months ago. She even saw that it was a girl as well. She was a soft blue in color with a white underbelly and a small amount of white hair on top. She looked so much like her mother. The animatronic was in shock for a bit when seeing her.
Slowly, Frenni took one of her older shirts for her outfits and wrapped the little one in it. "Look at you." She smiled as she did her best to clean off the baby. Wrapping her up in the shirt, the animatronic was gentle and held the newborn close to her chest. "My god, you're adorable." She breathed out as she looked down at the baby in her arms.
The young bear didn't cry that much, thankfully. It whined a lot and did a tiny cry now and then. As soon as her mother wrapped her up though and held her close, she was calm and content. She knew she was safe there. She didn't even open her eyes yet.
Frenni didn't know how much longer the people would be there to collect her, so she made time for this. She even breastfeeds the newborn, she had a program for that anyway for the clients that were into that sort of thing. It took the little one a minute till she latched on and drank. During that time…Frenni felt the shift in her heart as she held her baby. It was crazy how much her mind shifted as she held her.
"I feel I should name you; you deserve that much from me." She whispered down to the newborn as she happily drank. She tried to think of a name but the only thing that came to mind was- "Ash."
As if the baby knew, it finally opened its eyes slightly and looked up at her mother. Like she was reacting to the name. She could see the pretty pink color of her eyes. It made Frenni smile. "Seems you like that name. Ash?"
The little one finally stopped drinking and let out a happy noise as it wiggled in the shirt in which she was wrapped. That made the animatronic smile. "Well, I'll take that as a yes." Again, she felt that pain in her chest. "I wish I didn't have to let you go." She started to cry. "I have too though…it's not safe for you here." Frenni leaned in and kissed Ash's forehead. "I'm sorry you'll never get to remember me nor will I get to see you grow. I hope wherever they rehome you…they treat you well. Maybe one day…you'll find me when you're older." Ash yawned before closing her eyes and Frenni rocked her a bit till she was asleep.
It was long after that she heard a car outside the door and a small knock. Frenni got up and went to the door, holding the newborn in one arm. When she did, there was a blond woman there in a black dress and glasses as she stood outside a nice dark blue luxury car.
"Frenni?" The woman made sure.
"Yes, that's me." The animatronic answered.
"I'm Tiffany, from the program. I've been talking to you on the phone." The woman told her and looked down to see the baby in Frenni's arms. "Looks like I arrived just on time."
The bear looked down at the girl before looking back up at the woman, "Um…Yes. She was born about an hour ago. She just went back to sleep."
"Good. Hopefully, she'll sleep the whole way back to the office." Tiffany said as she cleaned her glasses. "We have everything set up for her there to make sure she's taken care of."
"Will…will I be able to get updates and stuff on her? As she grows I mean?" Frenni asked her as she held Ash close.
"Of course, we'll have a whole file for her. Her new family will make sure to stay connected with us and in turn we'll keep in contact with you for anything new. We'll send you pictures if you wish." Tiffany answered her.
"I'd like that, yes. I want to see her grow up…even if it's through pictures." She said as she soon started to have tears fall and she didn't even realize.
"I understand. I can take a picture now if you wish, it's for her records."
The bear nodded and the woman took out a camera to take a picture of Frenni holding her head close to the newborns as she cried silently.
As soon as she put the camera away she said, "Well…say your goodbyes and we'll take her from here." Tiffany sighed, this was the hardest part of her job, seeing mothers upset as they had already started to bond.
Frenni couldn't hold back her tears as they flowed faster down her cheeks. She looked down at the newborn and whispered to her. "You behave yourself Ash. Wherever you may go….I hope they treat you right. You grow to be strong. Have fun. Never lose hope on things. Try to live the life I can't."
"Is that what you named her? Ash?" Tiffany asked.
"Yes….is that ok?" Frenni made sure.
"Of course, I'll mark it on her files." The woman held her hands out. "Hand her to me and…we'll be on our way."
Frenni held her baby tightly for a moment as she felt the fear spike inside her. She gave in though, forcing herself to do what needed to be done. Kissing the small one's forehead one more time…she handed her over to the woman. The lady took the cub from the animatronics hold, making sure they were secure in her arms.
Tiffany nodded as she held the newborn, "Thank you Frenni. We'll look after your girl and keep you updated. Promise."
The bear nodded, not trusting her voice as she still cried still.
Tiffany gave her a reassuring smile before opening the car door, got inside and closed it behind her. Then the car drove off.
Frenni didn't know how long she stood there for, a few minutes perhaps, looking down at the way the car had driven off. She went inside and as soon as the door closed behind her she went to her knees and just started to cry harder. She had to do what was needed to be done, but it still hurt so much. It wasn't until the day started and the club was getting ready to open that she finally gained her composure. Her chest still hurt, she was still a little sore, but she pushed on…not knowing what was going to happen for her or for Ash in their futures.
Side notes:
~The FCN animatronics can get pregnant in this AU (Don't question it just roll with it)
~Not important, but Ash's real dad is a bear furry but never is seen or heard from since he was just a guy in the club looking for some fun.
