Chapter 3: A caring soul
Meanwhile at Sans' house, word had gotten to someone else that day…
"WHAT!? Toriel has adopted a new child?! And It's an infant?!" said Papyrus as he was hearing the news for the first time.
"I know right? I was thinking to go and visit. Ya know, to check on the tike." said Undyne as she was the one to tell Papyrus
"Allow me to accompany you, please. I want to see this infant too!" said Papyrus with eagerness.
"Sure, just try to be careful around the little guy." said Undyne to Papyrus
"Can do." said Papyrus as he hung up his phone.
And without hesitation, he made his way over to Toriel's house to greet the new member of the Dreemurr family. He proceeded to knock on the door to be greeted by Frisk…
"PAPY!" shouted Frisk with excitement as she ran into Papyrus' arms
"Hello Frisk!" said Papyrus happily as he greeted Frisk at the door
"So what are you doing here?" asked Frisk with joy.
"I am here to-" said Papyrus as he was cut off by Undyne
"See the new member of your family!" said Undyne as she interrupted Papyrus and shoved him out of the way.
"Oh yes, Undyne is here too!" added Papyrus as he just remembered that Undyne was with him
"So where is the little guy?" asked Undyne
"He is in my mom's bedroom right now." Answered Frisk
"Are we able to see the infant?" asked Papyrus
"Um… I'm unsure." said Frisk with uncertainty
"You can, but, you have to be quiet. He's taking a nap right now." said Toriel as she walked into the living room to greet Undyne and Papyrus.
"Ok" said Undyne and Papyrus as they whispered in sync.
They all walked quietly in the bedroom, to see the crib of the infant child, silent. As they walked slowly towards the crib, Undyne notices the tail, lying limp on the outside of the crib. As they reach the edge of the crib, to see the saiyan child. Papyrus, looking into the crib, just barely noticing the tail that laided limp. He then said…
"He has a tail…" said Papyrus as he noticed the tail that lied motionless
"Alphys was right… That's so cool!" said Undyne
"Shhh… Be quiet! He's sleeping." said Toriel
As Toriel said "sleeping", the tail that the child possessed began to move. The child opened his eyes to the sight of his "mother" and the other figures that stood right next to her. Toriel picked up and began to cradle the child in her arms as he had awakened from his nap.
"Good morning, my child. How did you sleep?" asked Toriel as the child yawned.
"Toriel, May I see the child?" asked Papyrus
"Of course. Just be careful with him." said Toriel as she carefully hands the child to Papyrus
The child gaized his eyes at the boney figure that stood before him. Instead of fear, The child expressed curiosity as he then reached to touch Papyrus' nose, but, to feel that there is nothing there.
"Well… you're a very curious child…" said Papyrus as the child continued to touch his "nose"
"What is the kid's name?" asked Undyne
"His name is Seth." answered Toriel
"Seth? Where have I heard that name before?" asked Undyne
As Undyne had finished that sentence, Sans had walked through the door with a box of unknown contents…
"Hey Tori, where do you want me to put this box?" asked Sans
"Oh, just put it on my bed." answered Toriel as Sans placed the box on her bed
"Is that all of it?" asked Sans as he dusted off his blue jacket.
"I believe so. Thank you Sans." said Toriel as she responded to Sans' question.
"No problem, Tori." said Sans as he began to blush
"Brother, what are you doing here?" asked Papyrus as he noticed Sans
"Huh? Oh hey Pap. Didn't see you there." said Sans as he responded to Papyrus' question
"Hello Sans. Now, what are you doing here?" asked Papyrus for the second time.
"Oh! I was just visiting Toriel until I found out that the little guy that you're holding was gonna be their new family member." said Sans
"Is that so?" said Papyrus with suspicion
"Yes." said Sans with confirmation
"Sure you did." replied Undyne calling him out
"Want to test that theory?" said Sans as his left eye began to glow blue.
"Alright you two. Knock it off now." said Papyrus with concern for the child in his arms.
"Ok, I'll stop." said Sans as his eye went back to normal.
"Hm." said Undyne with disappointment
"What's going on?" asked Asriel as he walks into the room
"It's nothing, my child. Sans and Undyne were just having a debate." said Toriel to put Asriel at ease.
"Oh. Well, I came to tell you that someone else arrived…" said Asriel as someone walked up behind him.
"Thank you, Darling. Now, where is the little cutie?" asked Mettaton as he walked into the room
"Oh hello Mettaton! A surprise to see you here!" said Papyrus as he noticed Mettaton walk through the door.
"Yes… a surprise indeed." said Toriel to herself as she saw Mettaton, she then asked, "May I have the baby back, Papyrus?"
"Oh, Of course Toriel." said Papyrus as he gave the child back to Toriel.
"Oh Papy! It's good to see you." said Mettaton as he hugged Papyrus, he continued,"Now, where is the little monkey?" He asked
"In Toriel's arms." said Undyne as she answered Mettaton's question.
"Oh thank you, Undyne." said Mettaton as he looked at the saiyan child in Toriel's arms.
Mettaton then asked, "What's their name?"
"His name is Seth. Seth Dreemurr." answered Toriel as she looked down at the child with a grin on her face. The child began to laugh with joy to hear his name "Seth".
"Oh He is such a cutie! May I hold the child?" asked Mettaton with excitement
"Goodness. Everyone wants to hold you today, don't they?" said Toriel as she spoke to the baby. Toriel carefully gives Mettaton the child to hold. Mettaton stares down at the child with an ecstatic face. The child, seeing Mettaton for the first time, reached out and touched Mettaton's cheek to get a feeling of coldness of metal.
"Oh! Oh my god! He is touching my cheek!" said Mettaton as he became nervous as the child touched his face.
"Ok Mettaton. May I have the child back?" said Toriel with concern for the child.
"Of course." said Mettaton willingly
Asriel stood in the doorway to see everyone standing, talking to each other and looking at the Saiyan child. Toriel turned her head to see her biological child (Asriel) looking at everyone in the room.
"Oh well hello, my child. Is there something else you need?" asked Toriel as she cradled Seth in her arms.
"I'm fine. I'm just… a bit concerned with the fact that everyone I know is here in this one room." said Asriel as he expressed his concerns
"Everything is fine, my child. Everyone is here just to see the little one." said Toriel as she put her son's concerns to rest.
"Oh… ok." said Asriel with a bit of concern still in his voice
Toriel walks over to Asriel with the baby in her arms and asks...
"Do you… want to hold you new baby brother?" asked Toriel as she began to crouch towards her son
"Um… sure." answered Asriel nervously as Toriel carefully handed the infant child to Asriel
The child had a look of curiosity when the child laid upon the face of his elder brother. Asriel, rather nervously looks at the saiyan child. The child, then, had a look of happiness on his face. Asriel's face began to glow as the child smiled. Frisk walked in the room to see Asriel cradling the child.
"Aw how cute… hm… oh Hello Frisk. Is there something you need, my child?" asked Toriel
She ran out of the room and grabbed the camera from her backpack, she then ran back to the room to take a picture of the scene. She snapped the photo just as Asriel turn to look at her. After the picture was taken, Frisk looked up at Asriel and smiled, Asriel gave a sheepish smile back at Frisk. Toriel, then, noticed that Frisk had taken a picture…
"Frisk, may I see the photo?" asked Toriel as walked towards Frisk
"Sure." said Frisk as she happily replied
Frisk hands Toriel the camera and she looks at the photo that Frisk had just taken. She sees the face of her son as he cradles his adopted brother.
"You really care for your new brother… don't you?" said Toriel as she looked up from the camera.
Asriel nods his head in a shy-ish manner. Frisk, then, walked up right beside Asriel and looked at their new brother. It then hit Asriel that he wants to protect his brother from harm. All the dangers in the world that might hurt his younger brother. Asriel looked at Undyne after conceiving this thought.
