***Hello, everyone! I am back into BATIM because I just recently found out that you can get it on mobile because my laptop croaked while I was in the middle of playing the game. So I haven't quite reached the end. In the meantime, here's a story! I don't plan for it to be very long, less than five chapter probably. But it's me, so who knows what will happen? Anyways, Bendy, Alice, and Boris belong to TheMeatlyGames, another character who you'll meet belongs to me, and let's go!
Prologue: Welcome To The World
Bendy paced back and forth outside of his shared bedroom, a blanket in his hands. Oh, how badly he wanted to go inside... But he wanted to do as Alice said this time.
After all, she was having his baby.
Well... technically, Alice wasn't ready to give birth yet. She started feeling contractions, so before they got bad, she wanted to rest a bit. Because every medical book in the studio (although there weren't that many) said that this would be a long and painful process.
So, Bendy was pacing outside, the small blanket for his first child in his gloved hands. He would be a father, but it wasn't like he knew how! There had been months to prepare, but it felt as if he'd had a matter of days.
"But Alice will be there too," he mumbled.
That was right. He wasn't alone in this. He had his love, the one who made the demon brighten, at his side. "I'll take it like a pro and I'll help Alice in any way I can," he decided. Right after he'd taken a deep inhale and exhale to calm himself down, he was startled by a yell.
"Bendy!"
Without hesitating, the devil darling zipped inside. "Al?" he asked, dropping the blanket onto the floor.
Alice had pulled herself to sit upright with her back against the pillows on the headrest. She rubbed her swollen stomach, sweat drops beginning to appear on her forehead. "It's getting worse. I'm pretty certain my water just broke," she said.
Bendy came over and held her hand. "Then we're thankful for medical books and towels," he said.
"I guess s-" Alice's voice hitched as another contraction came. She screwed her pie-cut eyes shut.
"Relax and breathe through it, okay? Relax and breathe through it," Bendy said. He was able to ignore the tightened grip on his hand when he saw Alice actually listening to him. She (and her grip) relaxed when the contraction passed.
"Thank you," she said.
Bendy nodded. "It's what I'm here for, toots."
XxX
Boris had been keeping himself out of the way for a few hours now, playing little game and things like that. It was the weekend, so Joey Drew Studios was at least closed up to everyone beyond the three of them.
As curious as Boris was about Bendy and Alice's baby, he didn't want to come in until they let him in. But he was playing a card game when he heard a scream.
Alice's scream.
In a panic, he abandoned his game and ran for the bedroom.
Alice's face was soaked in sweat and tears. She was clearly exhausted as she leaned forwards. "It's so bad, Bendy..." she whimpered.
"I know it is, I know it is. But you just have to keep pushing. It'll be out soon," Bendy promised. However, he'd been saying that for half an hour, and he wasn't sure just how much longer that line would work for him.
Alice took in a breath and pushed as hard as her body would allow her to. At last, relief flooded her system and she laid back onto her pillows.
"Can I see?" Boris asked from the doorway, actually making himself known to the others in the room. "Bring me the scissors, that blanket, and some of the towels," Bendy instructed.
He walked to the foot of the bed and picked up the baby. He patted its back, causing it to cough up some ink before cried filled the air. "It's a boy!" Bendy said, grinning.
Alice smiled, wiping away at her tears. "Let me see him," she pleaded.
Bendy and Boris got the cord cut, cleaned up the newborn, and passed him to his mother.
Alice immediately held him close. "It's okay... Mama's got you..." she soothed. After a few moments, the newborn calmed his crying. Bendy sat down next to her.
Boris, sensing the mood going on, decided that it was best to move on. "I think I'll give you two some privacy. But you gotta tell me his name!" After he'd been promised that such would happen, he left, shutting the door behind him.
"Bendy, can you believe it?" Alice asked. "Hardly. Seems like last week you told me your were pregnant," Bendy said. "Either way, do you want to hold your son?" Alice asked.
Bendy hesitated for a moment. Then, he nodded. He took the baby into his arms and got a closer look at him.
The newborn had the same skin colors and pie-cut eyes as his parents. On his head were tiny white nubs that would undoubtedly grow to be horns over time. On his cheeks, rather than one beauty mark, were several black freckles.
"Reminds me of his mama. Better than anything heaven about could put out," Bendy said. He passed the baby back to his wife. Alice kissed Bendy's lips, then her son's forehead. When he smiled, his tongue lolled out and revealed something.
"Is part of his tongue missing?" Bendy asked.
Sure enough, on the left side, part of their son's tongue was gone.
"I've never seen that before. But he's still perfect to me," Alice said. She yawned; exhaustion was clear in her expression. "Alright, toots. Before you go to sleep, how about we give him a name?" Bendy asked.
Alice thought back to some of the names that she liked for a boy. "I like the name Kyzer," she eventually said. "Unique name. But I like it too," Bendy agreed.
He looked to Alice, his hand moving to cup her cheek. "Get some rest, Al. You've worked hard tonight. I'll watch him," he said. "Only if you stay here with me," Alice said.
So, the two made themselves comfortable on the bed. Kyzer laid bundled up between his parents. "Goodnight, boys," Alice said. "G'night," Bendy said. Kyzer made a little sound, as if he was also saying goodnight. His parents couldn't help their smiles.
Alice kissed them both and was out like a light. Kyzer feel asleep shortly thereafter. Bendy gently stroked his freckled cheek.
"Welcome to world, son."
Then, he fell asleep as well.
***That's one prologue completed for you all. Don't be too harsh, I'm still getting writing for BATIM down. Anyways, be sure to leave a review on the way out and I'll see you all in the next one! Bye!
