I'm back! Here is the long awaited chapter five!
You have no idea how much writers' block I had for this one.. It was SO freaking hard on what and what not to do in this.
Also, that question about Penny and Carrie reacting? Next chapter. That is next chapter.
Enjoy!
Previously on this fanfic..
"Is... It really you?..."
They quietly nodded, as they looked down at the floor.
Nicole went closer and hugged them, tears now beginning to come down.
"I'm so sorry..."
Anais watched, with sadness on her face as well.
"I'll... I'll try to fix this... I promise..."
"Come on.." The cop said, trying not to interrupt rudely. "Let's get out of here.."
Nicole got up, and they all quietly left the building.
Onlookers that were outside at the time, watched as Gumball/Darwin got into the squad car, still a little worried and saddened by the event.
As they sat in the back, Anais put her hand on theirs, with a little hope on her face.
"Don't worry.. We'll get through this.."
They gave her a slight smile, before facing the window, watching the houses and cars fly by.
Nothing would be the same again.
Onto the chapter...
It was a long moment of silence, as the four finally arrived back at the house.
"Thank you officer." Nicole said, being polite to the policeman.
"Are you sure everything is handled for right now?" He asked.
"Yes, We got it from here." She replied.
The officer gave a smile, and drove back to the station.
Nicole looked over at Anais.
"Anais, keep an eye out. I'll get them in." She said, telling her the plan.
"Got it." Anais said, as she began to survey the area.
"Come on." Nicole said quietly, so nobody else could hear her.
She quickly, yet sneakily, took Gumball/Darwin inside the house, while also looking around for any other people around.
Once she got them inside, she signaled Anais to come in as well.
As soon as they shut the door, Richard woke up from his nap tiredly.
"We're home!"
Nicole tried to sound casual, but it was pretty difficult.
"Oh hey honey.. Did they find the boys yet?" He asked, as he let out a big yawn.
Nicole sighed, knowing he would ask this question.
"Yes.. But Richard there's something you need to understand-"
Before she could finish, Richard made a cry of joy and ran to where she was standing.
His smile quietly turned into a confused frown, as he noticed a figure standing behind Nicole.
He looked at her with a confused, yet concerned look on his face.
Nicole and Anais gave each other a glance, before finally telling Richard the story.
Soon, they finished the story.
Richard looked at the figure again, still concerned, but not as much confused anymore.
Anais sighed, as she dug through the desk drawer to find her sewing needle.
"Ugh.. I swear it was in this drawer.."
Gumball/Darwin waited patiently, as they were seated on the desk stool.
"Here it is.." Anais said, taking it out of the third drawer.
She opened a small kit and grabbed some thread, placing down on the desk.
"Ok guys, this might.. Hurt a little."
She then began to work, fixing the cuts on their body.
After several minutes, she finished working on the arms, and began fixing the chest.
"Are you doing ok?" She asked, making sure nothing was wrong.
"Yep.. It hurts.. But we're good.." Gumball said, trying not to scream in pain.
A bit hesitant, Anais began to speak.
"What.. Exactly.. Happened.. When you were there?.. Was.. It.. live operating?..." She asked, a little reluctant.
She noticed the look in their eyes, and knew it wasn't a good look either.
"You don't have to answer.. I just.. I wanted to know.." She said, still continuing her work.
"We... Were still.. breathing.. when that crazy creepy guy was operating on us.." Gumball said quietly.
"Oh..." Anais had a look of sorrow and concern on her face, as she was almost done.
"I'm.. Almost done.." She said, trying to change the subject.
She pulled the final stitch together, and sighed in relief.
"There. The stitching's all done now. But.."
Anais wrapped the stitched parts up with white bandages.
"..It won't stay yet though. These bandages will have to stay on for a while." She said, as she put her sewing stuff away.
The door of the bedroom opened, revealing Nicole.
"Uh.. Dinner's ready.." She said, still trying to get used to this.
It was now evening, and the family sat at the table, having dinner.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say, as they continued eating.
Gumball/Darwin stared at their food, which consisted of meatloaf.
Anais, Nicole, and Richard were each thinking, still not sure on what to say.
I hope they're ok.. Hm.. Now that I think of it.. I wonder if they can still eat normally.. Anais thought.
Hm.. Should I say something?.. Nicole thought.
Are they technically done?.. I'm still hungry.. Richard thought.
Soon it was time for bed.
Anais put her onesie on, and climbed into her bed.
However, she didn't go to sleep right away.
Instead, she quietly listened to her brothers' conversation.
"Are you sure?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah. Besides, we won't fit in my bowl." Darwin answered.
Anais continued to listen, as she stared at the ceiling above her.
Once she no longer heard any sounds, she hugged Daisy a little tighter, and fell asleep.

Ok I know this chapter was short, but like I said, I want to be able to answer that question NEXT CHAPTER.
Also, writers' block.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this new chapter, and see you in the next one!
