Tamara suddenly burst out crying, for she was cold and scared. Sarah picked her up and held her close. Shelly became concerned about the baby girl and set down the baby boy.

Slappy Jr. continued staring at Tamara.

"Ugh!" Slappy stepped up to the cell. "If you cannot get that 'thing' to be quiet...I will have to end it."

"No!" Hannah protested as she ran to Sarah and Tamara and stood in front of them, spreading her arms out and protecting them. "You will not hurt the cutie."

"And for the record, it is a baby," Sarah added.

"Blah, blah, blah. I will if I need to. I am just warning you. And I know what a baby is. I have my own."

The kids became shocked.

"Your own?" Champ said in disbelief.

"You heard me. I have a son..." He motioned to the spot where Slappy Jr. was. "...and he is right here." He glanced at the spot where his son was supposed to be and raised his wooden eyebrows. He looked surprised. "Where did he go?"

"Goo!"

Slappy Jr. had crawled through the bars and was in the cell. He crawled over to where Sarah was standing and held out an open hand. He wanted Tamara to hold his tiny hand and make her feel better.

Sarah shook her head and took a step back, her eyes on the boy infant. "Nope," she said. "Stay where you are." Slappy Jr. cooed, which was enough to make her heart melt. "But...you are adorable."

She was debating whether or not to pick him up, when Zach grabbed him. The baby screamed.

"Wah!"

Hearing him, the girl infant stopped with her crying and watched the scene that was unfolding "Ooh."

"Zach!" Hannah yelled.

"My baby!" Shelly cried out.

Zach glared at the puppet and held the baby close to his chest.

"What do you think that you are doing?" Slappy wondered. He returned the favor by giving him a sickening glare. "That is my son. My newborn son."

"Let us go," Zach demanded. "And I promise that nothing bad will happen to your baby."

"Are you...threatening me?"

"It is the only way that you will free us, so yes."

"Dude!" Champ exclaimed. "It is just a baby! It is innocent!"

"Need I remind you that this baby is his son!"

Slappy placed his wooden hands on his nonexistent stomach and cackled. It was so bad and annoying that everyone except Shelly and the babies covered their ears with their own hands. Shelly thought that his laughs were funny and attractive.

He forced himself to stop with the laughing and smirked at Zach.

"Jeez. You really are delusional," he commented. "You? Threatening to hurt my son? I could use my magic on you any second now. But I will not because that is too predictable. So all that I will say is that my son also has a mother." He leaned against his bride and stroked her leg. "And her name is Shelly."

Zach looked at Hannah. Hannah looked at Champ. Champ looked at Sarah. Sarah looked at Sam. Sam looked at Sonny.

Sonny looked at Shelly. His eyes were wide. "No..." he started. "...he did not. No way!"

The puppet chuckled. "We did. 'Cause we love each other."

Sarah glanced over at Shelly's direction and blinked a couple of times. "Shelly...is this true? Do you love him?"

The orphan nodded. "I love him with all my heart." She looked to where Zach and Slappy Jr. were. "And I love my baby." A tear ran down her cheek.

Zach sighed. "I should not...but..." He went to Shelly and handed her the baby. "Here." He whispered to her. "Keep your son away from that maniac."

Suddenly, Zach was lifted into the air and thrown back by the maniac that was the dummy.

"Ah!"

He hit the wall and grunted.

Hannah gasped. "Zach!"

Sonny and Sam hurried over to him and helped him up.

Sarah set Tamara down. "You will not get away with this, Slappy."

"I already have, and there is nothing that you can do about it...dummy." He grinned at Shelly. "Come on, Shelly. We are through here."

"Love!"

Shelly looked to where that soft voice came from and tilted her head down.

Tamara was standing on her cute feet and holding out her little hands. She wanted the orphan girl to pick her up.

"Awe." Shelly scooped her up and was now holding both her and the baby boy.

Slappy Jr. noticed that Tamara was next to him and rested his head against her belly. She giggled, and he held her hand and kissed her nose. She giggled even more.

Slappy did not like what he was seeing and ordered his bride to give the baby girl back to the kids. But after convincing him that they should take her with them and giving him the puppy eyes, he let her.

"I had better not regret this," he told her.

Meanwhile, the fire was eating up the cabin. The cabin was burning to a crisp, and pieces of wood were breaking off and falling.

It seemed that Stine and Mrs. Quinn were doomed.

But they were not.

A car - a red Prius - was heard from the distance and drove up to the house. It stopped in front of it and was put in park. Two people got out of the car. One was a girl. The other was a boy.

"Oh my gosh," the boy said, seeing the house that was in flames.

"Get some water from the well," the girl commanded him.

"What? But the well was a mile back!"

"Go! And hurry! I will rescue them."

The boy ran off, and the girl dashed to the house. She kicked a window, breaking the glass, and went in. She immediately spotted Stine and Kathy and quickly untied them. She realized that they were dummies and dragged them out.

"That dummy," she said.
