Asriel POV
To be honest, raising a little baby monster was, indeed, a bit of a challenge for Chara and me. Alina needed fed at least five times a day, sometimes in the middle of the night. But it was worth it, since Alina was adorable and Chara and I had bonded with her the whole time and found a lot of joy in doing so.
And today was a special day, since it happened to be a day me and Chara would never forget. We were currently playing a learning game with Alina to try to get her to speak, giving her cards and reading them so she would be able to say words. "Stick," I smiled as I showed a picture of a small branch.
"Tig!" Alina said, her getting better by the day, which me and Chara thought adorable.
"Bird," Chara smiled, Alina smiling at that.
"Birb!" she said, me smirking at that.
"She's almost got that one down," I smiled proudly. And then came the moment that me and Chara had been waiting for.
"Mama! Dada!" she cooed, me gasping and gushing at it.
"She's finally learned to call us mom and dad! Oh, I'm so happy!" I smiled widely as I cuddled with Alina and she giggled and snuggled into my arms with her face, since she didn't have any arms.
"I'm finally a true mommy... I've never been so proud," Chara smiled as she joined the snuggle hug and Alina cooed as she then started to get sleepy. "Bedtime, huh? Okay, little Alina, let's get you to the crib," Chara smiled as she picked up our kid gently and carried her over to the small crib Alphys gave us to raise our new baby in. We then placed our baby in there with the covers wrapped all around her and Chara then started to sing a lullaby that our mom taught her.
"Little child... you will grow big someday...
when that day comes... know that I'll not let you stray..." Chara sung. And just those two verses sung by her was enough to make Alina fall asleep, which made it much better for us when it came to something that had been happening to our bodies over these past few years.
I had actually grown a lot in size as did Chara, both of us being around 5 feet tall now and around 15 years old. Chara and I had actually done something she called 'sex' before and it was actually very fun... though she was confused when she saw that I didn't have anything on me like that. I then had to explain that monsters didn't really have reproductive organs that were used for that, but instead were filled with fertilization magic, something that meant that the sex could only be for fun if intercourse happened between a human and a monster.
"So, would you like to go and have a few minutes of fun?" Chara smiled at me, which I smirked at.
"Sure," I smiled at her with a warmness in my heart.

Chara POV:
It had been 2 years since Alina was adopted into the family and things were very happy in the castle with everyone chipping in to teach her everything she needed in order to grow. We had weened her off of milk about three months ago and she was now able to speak full sentences with only minor grammar issues, as expected for a little toddler to go through. And today was a big day, since it'd be her first time going to see most of the Underground as a field trip. And joining her was the skeleton duo of Sans and Papyrus, who were now both 4 years old.
"Where's our first trip, mommy?" Alina asked me with eyes of intrigue.
"First, we're going to go to the capital of the Underground, located directly underneath our home," I smiled at her.
"Cool!" she smirked as Asriel was carrying her before placing her on the ground after we went down the elevator to the CORE. We then moved through to the elevator of the CORE and out through the next part of it, where Alina was excited to see the capital right in front of her, all centered around the hotel. "Is this the capital?" she asked with eyes of wonder.
"Actually, this is only a part of the capital. We're directly in the center of it right now, at MCK resort, which is where all the television shows are made," Asriel smirked.
"Whoa! Awesome!" Alina smiled widely as we then met up with Gaster, Brian, Sans, and Papyrus just outside of the resort, them looking to be excited to see us.
"Hello there, Gaster," I smiled at him. He simply nodded and had something else speak for him.
"Hello there. It's been awhile, hasn't it?" he asked, but not with his mouth. Alphys had made him an invention so he could speak with his mind instead, which prevented the goopy eyes whenever he normally spoke. He decided on this shortly after the issue with Mew Mew and his eyes scaring her. Speaking of Mew Mew, she had since gotten over her fearful nature and lived with Undyne and Bow at their place.
"Yes, it has been," I smiled at him.
"You've grown since the last we saw ya!" Papyrus smirked at me and Asriel.
"And so have you and Sansy," I smirked at them, noting that both of them were now at least 2 feet tall, around the same height as Bow when she first arrived in the Underground.
"heh, we get a lot of calcium," Sans said, Papyrus looking at him with a groan at that.
"Hehe! Funny!" Alina smiled at Sans.
"see, bro? the dreamurr kid likes my jokes," Sans smiled.
"Yo, my name's Alina! Nice to meet ya!" she smiled as Sans held out his hand and she frowned. "Sorry, but I'm not a shake-hands kinda girl. I got no arms," she said with a frown.
"Really? Well, if you want a pair, you could always ask Doctor Alphys to make you some," Brian smiled.
"Well, not yet. We actually talked to her about it a couple months ago, and Alphys said to wait until she was 4 years old, since her skeleton would be finished forming at that time for her species of monster," Asriel said.
"Yeah, I gotta wait until the big 4! Then that's how many limbs I'll get!" Alina smiled.
"Right. Now let's go explore the Underground, little ones," I smiled at them with a giggle, the group following me and Asriel as we went on our way to the elevator to the lab where Alphys worked, then to the Waterfall, then to Undyne's place and the garbage dump, then we went to Snowdin town before the little ones finally got tired.
"Getting tired, guys?" I smiled at them.
"Hehe... so much adventure... tired..." Alina said as she then simply laid in the snow on her stomach and started to sleep, me smiling and picking her up as Papyrus and Sans looked at us with a smile.
"we can get home from here, since it's not that far a walk," Sans smirked.
"Agreed! Come, brother, it is time for us to get some food!" Papyrus smiled widely.
"like ketchup?" Sans smiled.
"Ketchup isn't food, it's a condiment!" Papyrus frowned.
"heh, more for me then," Sans smirked.
"Sans! Ugh..." It amused me to see the duo of skeletons bicker on and on when they were actually quite close.
"Let's go home and get some rest, Alina," I smiled at my little girl, her cooing at my touch as I carried her with Asriel to the River Person, who smiled at seeing the little girl.
"Where are you going with this little lump of joy?" they asked with a smile.
"Hotland, please?" Asriel smirked, the River Person then doing something surprising as she turned her boat so that it looked like a dog and gained legs to run on the water.
"Just for the little ones, I like to have them ride in the doggy-paddle boat," the River Person said, me smirking at that as Alina smiled in her sleep.
"Doggies... hehe... it tickles," Alina smiled in her sleep, which was just extra adorable!

Mitts POV:
I had to be honest, it was kind of difficult to talk to Chara and Asriel too often because of them having a new kid that they adopted. But today that was gonna change, since all of us humans decided to greet their kid whenever they came down to Alphy's lab for Alina's 4th birthday, which was today. All of us humans, minus Kristof and Coraline, were waiting in Alphys's house or in her lab to try and surprise the family when they came down to get Alina her new arms. And to make sure we knew which door to go to after the fact, Tutie and I had our cell phones on standby to call each other depending on where they went to. And sure enough, they decided to use the shortcut elevator to get to the lab, which is where I was at with Bow and Alphys.
"Huh?" Chara asked when she saw us.
"Happy Birthday, Alina!" Bow, myself, and Alphys said at the same time, Alina smiling, giggling, and jumping for joy all at the same time.
"Aw, you guys actually went out of your way to wish Alina happy birthday! You're the best!" Asriel smiled at me and Bow as I then sent the message to Tutie and Brian to meet up in the lab proper.
"Well, it's been awhile since we've had a proper get-together since you adopted Alina, so we thought we could all get together for her big 4th birthday," Bow smiled widely.
"It was all Mitts's idea," Alphys smiled, me smirking and itching my neck at that, Chara smiling at me.
"Thanks, Mitts. This means a lot to me," Chara smiled at me.
"So is there a party we're gonna have?" Alina asked with a giddy smile.
"Of course! It's all set up in Alphy's house above the laboratory. We just have to put a few finishing touches to the set pieces. And I believe that Alphys giving you some new arms will give us the time we need," Bow smiled as I then got a text from Tutie. We had made a bet and she now owed me a free lap dance, much to my pleasure. It would've been a lot worse if they came through the house instead of to the elevator in the basement, because I would've had to dress in a bikini and dance like a loon on television. And that would've been super embarrassing!
"Yay! Miss Alphys, can you please give me my arms right now? I wanna have cake!" Alina smiled happily.
"Hehee! Yes, we can get you situated right away. Just come with me to the bedding areas," Alphys said, me smiling at that. She had converted Gaster's old messy invention room into a living quarters for any of her patients who had to spend a couple days or nights to recuperate, especially if they had a very bad injury and needed Nurse Chara to give them some of her blood as a treatment. It was basically a regular bunch of beds with an entertainment system and some televisions. But regular beds were much comfier than the gurneys that Alphys used for operations. "Okay, just lay on this bed here on your back and I'll get the arms for your body," Alphys said, me smirking at how Alina jumped onto the bed and laid on her back, Chara and Asriel watching on with smiles.
"Okay, as we agreed, the process will have as minimal pain as possible. Just a slight pinch for both sides of her body," Alphys said as she got the two arm attachments and Alina gawked at them. Not only were they the same color as her body, but they also were designed to grow along with her and they had thumbs on the hands, which most monsters didn't have access to.
"Wow! Those look so cool!" Alina smiled widely at them.
"Alright, in order for this to work, she'll need to do a small pinch into your body on both of your shoulders. You trust Doctor Alphys, right, sweetie?" I smiled at Alina.
"I do, I'll do anything to get arms! I've always wanted a pair!" Alina smiled widely. Alphys then approached Alina's left shoulder and took a small needle, one that had a small microchip inside of it. She then did a small poke into Alina and she winced at that and looked upset.
"Ow!" she shouted, Alphys already having made the injection and her then turning the left arm on. Alina then gasped as she saw it for herself. The arm was now hovering in place right next to her shoulder, not quite connected to the joint, but magnetized to the microchip inside of her arm. "Oh... never mind, this is so cool!" Alina smiled as she then tried to focus her thoughts to move her arm and she smiled at how her arm moved as intended, including the fingers on her hands.
"Now for the other shoulder. Just as before, just a pinch and then it'll be okay," Alphys smiled as she then went to the other shoulder. This time, Alina knew it was coming and simply braced for it, her gritting her teeth at the pinch and then her sighing in relief when the needle left her body and then she was able to move her other new arm.
"Whoa! This is so awesome! Thank you, Doctor Alphys!" Alina smiled widely as she then went over and hugged the doctor, her smiling and accepting the hug, though I could see that she was getting hugged pretty tight.
"Oof, be careful when using your new arms, Alina. They are robotic, after all, so they're much tougher than most monster bones... except for Undyne's. Her bones will never break," Alphys smiled as she then smiled off in thoughts. I snapped my fingers in front of her face and got her back to reality.
"Keep your thoughts away from your girlfriend, would ya? I still can't believe you and her haven't tied the knot yet," I frowned, Alphys smirking and blushing at that.
"A-Actually... n-nevermind.. hehe. It's a secret," Alphys smiled as we then saw Undyne and the other humans appear from the elevator from the house, them smiling at Alphys and us.
"Hey, it's all set up. And I see that the new princess got her new arms installed," Undyne smiled widely, Alina smiling at that.
"Teehee! Mommy and daddy always call me a princess," she smiled.
"You technically are a princess, and so is your mommy," Tutie smiled as she then looked at me with a playful glare. "Six o clock, room 3 in the hotel. Don't be late," she whispered to me.
"Don't worry, I won't," I smiled at her widely.
"Hey, Alphys? You said you wanted to tell me something important after the procedure, right?" Undyne asked Alphys, me wondering what was going on. But then, she did something I never expected her to do. She pulled out a whole bouquet of Echo Flowers wrapped in a red ribbon and in a bouquet holder. And all the flowers were saying the same thing.
"Marry me," they all said over and over, Undyne gasping and looking at Alphys with eyes of surprise before she had her grin show.
"Heh, I'm surprised you were the one to offer, Alphys. I was actually gonna ask you pretty soon myself," Undyne smiled at her, Alphys grinning and gushing at that.
"So we can get married? Like, for real?" Alphys asked with a smile.
"Yep, just say the date and we'll make it a gorgeous wedding!" Undyne smiled, all of us humans and Alina clapping as the duo shared a kiss happily.
"Yay! I wanna be the flower girl!" Bow smiled.
"Why not have two? Little Alina here could be good at that," Asriel smiled.
"What's a flower girl?" Alina asked.
"A very important girl that spreads flower petals as the bride walks down the aisles. But in this case, since there are two brides, Bow will be one and you'll be the other," Brian smiled, Alina's eyes going wide at that.
"YAY! I get to be important! I'm so happy! Today is the best day ever!" Alina smiled widely and happily, Chara and Asriel smirking and hugging their little princess happily. It honestly made a tear come out of my eye at how good they were at raising her from infant to flower girl in these four years.
