The help Asgore was giving Gaster was more than Helpful, the once empty room was now much more vibrant and furnished for two children. Thetaria was more than happy to keep the boys occupied during the time, Sans seeming to get along with Alphys pretty well. Now that it seemed the adoption was official, Gaster decided to look into names for the baby, he was going to need one. He was reading through names, not finding a single one he liked. Eyes narrowing, he sighed.
{Thetaria, how did you and your mate choose Alphys name?} she looked over at him as she fixed wires on a machine.
"Alphy's name? Well... It was Orion's idea more than my own, thinking it would be cute if she had a name similar to my family" she said with a shrug, before grinning.
"Looking to name the baby now?" all he could do was nod to her.
"Well Wing Ding" Gaster cringed at the mention of his name, a deep violet blush evident on his face. Thetaria let out a snort before laughter bellowed from her, she always loved embarrassing the hell out her friend. She patted his back, snickering now.
"Always could go with another font name right?" she asked him, smiling widely. Well, that would make sense, it seemed tradition for skeletons to be named after fonts. Why? He didn't know, but hey, it was normal. He saw the children all asleep in a pile together. the baby was asleep against Sans' chest, cuddled with his brother. Sans was laying against a large pillow, his arms around his brother. Alphys was curled up next to Sans, hugging her stuffed toy. It was just a pile of precious little ones sleeping. Baby names would have to come later, right now the two needed to work on the CORE.
"You know Gaster, since you expressed parental feelings, maybe now you should try dating?" Thetaria asked casually, reading over the blue prints, and trying to figure out how the core would look in a replica. The Skeleton turned to her, looking annoyed and exasperated.
{Let's take this one step at a time now, a significant other is not something I particularly need to be looking into right now} Thetaria shrugged at him.
"All I meant is I want to set you up on a Blind Date, Trust me, I have this friend and she's like, perfect for you and-
{Really? Really right now this needs to be discussed?} Gaster's cheeks were flaring at this point a deep violet color. The female Monster gave a firm glare to him.
"If you don't do this, I'mma keep bugging you about it" there was a loud sigh from Gaster who proceeded to face palm. He held his hands out, eyes closed, deciding to just go with it.
{Fine, Fine, I'll do a blind date, but you need to let me get work done and and figure out the Baby's name before I do} the request seemed reasonable enough, Thetaria nodded.
"Sure thing, so 2 weeks then" Gaster's head smacked into the table, groaning now, making her laugh loudly.
"I'll watch the boys too, it's great for Alphys to have a friend" He at least agreed with her on that with little trouble. The two began to work on the core and figuring out what would go where and how it would work.
"So how about..."
The baby was especially energetic today, babbling and wiggling. Sans was holding Gaster's free hand, staying close to him.
{Your brother is very energetic this afternoon} He said, Sans smiled a little at that. Maybe this is how he tends to be, but just took time adjusting to a different environment. There was a squeal from the baby, who was patting Gaster's face playfully. Sans let out a soft giggle himself at his brother's antics. Gaster blinked, before turning to Sans.
{Sans... was there ever any discussion about the possibility for your brother's name?} Gaster asked, the smile came off of Sans' face, making him look up, he really didn't want him to use the name they WERE going to give his brother. But he saw the curious look on his new papa's face.
"Uhm... They were going to name him Tahoma" he mumbled out. Gaster looked at him, that name... Didn't even feel fitting for the baby. It sounded like a name for a quiet, introverted child. He smiled, patting Sans' head.
{Not a good name for him is it?} He asked, seeing Sans' eyes almost light up that he wasn't going to use that for his brother.
"Nuh-uh, he feels more like a Pap...Pap.." Sans looked like the name was just on the tip of his tongue, it was a name they HATED, feeling it was too obnoxious for his brother, even though he thought it was a cool name. Gaster raised an imaginary eyebrow.
{Papyrus?} he had seen the word before, it did seem to grab attention. Sans clapped his hands together, eye sockets widening.
"Uh-huh! That! They... They 'idn't like the name much, cause they say it was annoying" he told Gaster who closed his eyes before smiling.
{It does feel fitting to match his enthusiasm doesn't it?} Sans was smiling widely at Gaster now, almost hopping excitedly, it made the older monster chuckle softly. He looked at the baby skeleton who waved his arms happily, "Talking" enthusiastically.
{Papyrus it is then}
