The soft yellow light filtered through the white curtains. The room was quiet and warm. Sans and Riley were sitting on the bed together, Sans' arms wrapped around his wife. It had taken several months, broken promises, and plenty of money spent. But they had wanted a baby, more than anything. They had tried adoption, but they all fell through. There had been one other option-the hospital's sperm bank. Now they finally had what they had always dreamed of.
"She's beautiful." Sans whispered, probably for the thousandth time that afternoon. Riley smiled, gently straightening her daughter's little hat. "Our Anya." Their baby stirred a little, but remained fast asleep in her mother's arms. Anya had a tuft of dark hair on the top of her head, and big blue eyes which Sans hoped would change to match Riley's beautiful green. Sans had never seen a human so small, she was absolutely perfect, and he was in love with her. She had the tiniest little hands, which Riley had carefully concealed in little mittens. Her little feet, now imprinted on her birth record, were so small. Sans was terrified of holding her, terrified he might break her. She was so fragile. But she was his princess, he loved her more than all the stars in the sky. He knew Riley felt the same. Her soul was so warm and full of joy.
Frankie stepped into the room with a big smile. He had already met his little sister, and he had sworn to always be there for her, to always protect her. She was the little sibling he had always wanted. "Hey, Dad. Look! You made the front page!" He held up a copy of EBOTT TIMES. Right across the top, in big bold letters, were the words: MONSTER SCIENTIST UNVEILS "RILITE"-CHANGING THE WORLD. The page had a large picture of Sans standing next to his lightweight metal. It was docked to the floor with chains so that it wouldn't float off. He had created the unbelievably lightweight metal in his lab, not long after Gaster. He hadn't unveiled it until the other day. He wanted to make sure that it was what he was going to advertise it as. He wanted to make sure it was perfect. When it was ready he named it after Riley, and he had proudly told the press the same. He could never miss the opportunity to brag about her. She was his world, after all.
"Wow… Sans, that's amazing!" Riley grinned. He shrugged.
"Not quite as amazing as this." He gestured to their little girl.
"Oh yeah! Um… Uncle Paps is waiting in the hall. He really wants to meet her." Frankie said, gesturing to the door.
"Of course!" Riley nodded, smiling brightly. "Let him in!" Frankie turned back to go get his Uncle and Sans settled back down against the back of the bed, scanning the news article a little. It did mention Riley. He was glad for that.
"SANS!" Papyrus burst in, followed by Frankie who was trying to shush the taller skeleton.
"Bro, you gotta be quiet. You'll wake Anya."
"WHERE IS SHE?!" He looked about in anticipation, trying to find the small human Sans had been talking about.
"She's right here." Riley said, gently holding up Anya for Papyrus to see.
"WHAT?! THAT'S A SMALL HUMAN?!" He looked shocked. He had never seen a human so small in all his life.
"She's a baby." Frankie explained. "They're very small when they're first born."
"BUT…. BUT… WOWIEEE! SHE IS VERY SMALL!"
"Do you want to hold her?" Riley asked. Papyrus looked nervous but then shoved it aside.
"OF COURSE I DO!" He nodded proudly. Riley gestured for him to come sit on the side of the bed, and then she gently passed him her daughter, showing him how to hold her carefully. Papyrus looked down at the tiny baby in bewilderment.
"SANS, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AND RILEY MADE A HUMAN BABY." He gasped.
"Uh… well, it's not really like that, bro-"
"UM. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH HER?"
"Mostly she just sleeps and eats." Frankie laughed.
"SLEEPS AND EATS… EATS?! I BET SHE'LL LOVE MY SPAGHETTI! NYEHEHEHEH!"
"She's just a baby, Papyrus." Riley frowned, "She can't eat spaghetti. She doesn't have any teeth."
"TEETH?! WHY NOT?!"
"She's too little. They'll grow in when she's old enough to digest solid food." She replied.
"OH WELL! THEN SHE CAN TRY MY SPAGHETTI!"
"Yes, and I'm sure she'll love it." Sans chuckled.
"SURELY SHE'LL BE OLD ENOUGH SOON! I'M GOING TO GO MAKE SOME SPAGHETTI RIGHT NOW!" He gasped, carefully handing Anya over to Frankie.
"Uh…" Sans was about to try and explain that Riley meant several months, but decided that it would probably be in vain anyways. "You go ahead and do that, bro." He shrugged with a little laugh. Papyrus dashed out of the room.
"I guess I'll stay here with you guys." Frankie laughed and then looked down at his baby sister to see she was just waking up. "Hi, Anya!" He smiled, gently rocking her a little. "I'm Frankie, your big brother. Someday I'm gonna teach you all sorts of things. I'm going to teach you how to tie your shoes, and how to climb ladders so you can get into Frisk's treehouse. And you're going to be the bestest little sister in the whole wide world. You just wait." He sighed. "It's going to be perfect."
Sans couldn't describe it any better than that.

Lynja Fairy: Voldemort is Gaster. Riely and sans are Harry Potter. The power of love BURNS those with LOVE. It is like the first book in the series. Then Molde Volde tries to take over Harry's soul with his soul fragment in him.
Gaster is gone forever? NOOOOO! JK, I'm Rowling with laughter and happiness with his last moments being a mettaton copy cat (or copy tem).
Awesome parallels! Gotta love Harry Potter! And yes, Gaster is gone for good! 3

PurpleLines: SequelsequelsequelseQUELSEQUELSEQUELSEQUEL! IT'S COMING! THE SEQUEL! *runs around in excitement but then trips and falls on the floor* I'm okay!
Whew! I'm back! Man, I hate exams. But, unfortunately, they are necessary in the life of a student. I hope you'll do good in yours! You know, when I took the exam at mine it seemed strangely easy. I mean, density and mass? biology and geology? It was pretty ok. But then...
DUN DUN DUUUUN! Math practically killed me. XD
SAVE ME I FORGOT THE FORMULAS ;_;
But aaanyways...I have a question. How does one quickly make a reader transition from scared to happy within a single chapter that isn't that long (compared to others I've seen)? Honestly how do you do it. It's incredible.
Also I just realized how ironic it is that the Prince of the Fire Nation is named Zuko.
But I really loved this chapter! We finally get to have the danger of the RESET taken away and Gaster gets the ass-kicking he deserves! Haha! And all's well that ends well with the UT people. And the WEDDING! MY GOSH! HAAAAAAA-
But anyways, great chapter, and I can't wait for the sequel! Seeya later! Good luck for your exams!
YASS THE SEQUELLL! Um... As for your question... That's a tough one. I think the key is feeling the emotion yourself. You know, put yourself in the character's shoes and try to imagine how you'd feel in that situation and paint that picture. I know lots of people say "show don't tell" and I think that's very true. Try and describe your character's feelings by how they're acting, don't say "she was sad" (I know this one is sooooo tough, and I don't follow it as well as I should). It all ends with your audience feeling connected to your characters. Because once your audience connects to those characters they'll feel those emotions in your story!
Thanks for sticking with us! 3
