Chapter 16: The Shower: Part 2

*INK'S P.O.V*

I could only stare in shock as Fresh rolled around the living room on is heelies.

Did he seriously just come crash my baby shower?!

I felt tears brim and I looked away, feeling upset that he'd just barge in like that. I thought everything was going well and then this guy just had to show up. I sniffed and buried my face in Error's chest. Error heard my sniffles and hugged me, no doubt glaring daggers at Fresh.

"Fresh who the hell invited you?! How did you even know Ink and I were having a baby?!" He asked, loud enough to be mad but soft enough to keep me calm. He just shrugged and smiled.

"When the destroyer and the creator are having a lil' one, word spreads quick, yo." He said. My breath hitched in my throat and I glanced at the others with a terrified look. The rolled their eyes at Fresh and gave me a sympathetic glance. I felt tears brim and before I knew what was going on, I was sobbing into my hands and running upstairs to mine and Error's room.

*ERROR'S P.O.V*

I watched Ink bolt upstairs with heartbroken expression before I turned to Fresh with a harsh glare.

"Why did you come here?! Ink's crying because of you!" I snapped. He frowned and looked up towards me and frowned.

"I'm sorry, bro. I didn't mean to make rad Ink sad. I just want to congratulate you on the mini dude or dudette!" He said, aiming finger guns at me. I scowled at him and pushed him aside.

"I'll deal with you later. Just don't break anything." I spat as I rushed up the stairs, going to our room. I knocked on the door and cracked it open slightly.

"Ink…? Are you okay?" I asked as I walked in. My face fell when I saw him curled up on the bed with tears streaming down his cheeks, sitting up in the bed with his shirt off, tracing circles over his swollen ectobelly. He looked up at me and new tears came rolling down his face.

"N-No…" He croaked. I walked over and sat down beside him, pulling him into an embrace. He nuzzled into my hold and sniffed, crying into my neck. I sat there and rubbed circles on his back in my best efforts to soothe him.

"Inky, what happened back there?" I asked softly, nuzzling his cheek affectionately. He sniffed and buried his face deeper into my chest.

"I-I'm not ready for everyone to k-know yet…. I-I just want this to be for us…. F-For our close friends…." He choked out, "E-Error, we're s-so early in the development w-we might lose the baby i-if something goes w-wrong…. I-I don't want to tell everyone we lost our baby…" He cried, finally sobbing into my neck. I stiffened and furrowed my brows.

I hadn't even thought about that.

What if something did go wrong…?

No, I won't let it.

But what if-

Nope! Not happening.

I kissed his cheek and stroked his back.

"Ink, don't think like that. That's not gonna happen. We're gonna have this baby and they're going to love us as much as we love them." I said softly, pressing a kiss against his forehead. I felt him trembles beneath me and he looked up at me with large eyes.

"Promise?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I nodded and leaned in slowly.

"I promise, Inky." I whispered, leaning fully and planting my lips on his, closing my eyes. I felt his arms wrap around my neck and I wrapped my arms around his bare waist. He kissed me deeper and pulled me down on the bed, purring softly. I hummed in response and slid my tongues into his mouth, making him moan softly in content. He tilted his head to the side and gently held the back of my skull in his hands, pulling me down on him. I hummed softly and pulled back, blushing as I was greeted by a panting, rainbow faced Ink. I took his hand and intertwined our fingers, pressing our foreheads together.

"I'm here, Inky… I'm here for you AND PJ…" I said softy. I heard him sniff and he kissed me again, softly this time before pulling back and nuzzling my nose.

"I know, Error… and I couldn't be happier that you are." He said, tears threatening to fall. I chuckles at his tears and tickled his sides.

"Now quit crying! We're gonna have a great time, you hear me?" I said, smirking as he began to laugh and squirm under my touch.

"O-Okay! Okay!" He giggled, trying to push my hands away. I leaned down and we shared one more kiss before I finally pulled back and held onto his hands.

"Better?" I asked. He smiled and nodded, nuzzling into my neck.

"Very…" He said softly. I smiled and looked down at his softly glowing ectobelly.

"So what were you doing?" I asked. He smiled and gently ran his thumb over the glow.

"Just talking with PJ…." He said. I chuckled and kissed his cheek.

"Well why don't you get yourself situated and then we can head back downstairs." I said. He nodded and slipped his shirt back on, taking ahold of my hand.

"Okay…" He said softly. I pulled him up and we made our way downstairs where Geno, Reaper, Goth and Fresh were standing.

"Where'd Dream and Blue go?" Ink asked, frowning slightly. Geno looked up and smiled.

"Dream had a situation with Nightmare and Blue said he had someone to meet. Something about a Cherry…? I'm not too sure." He muttered. Reaper chuckled and nodded at the table.

"They left their gifts on the table." He said, cradling his sleeping child. Fresh skided up to Ink and smiled brightly.

"Yo! You all good, homeslice? I was thinking it'd be rad if you opened up your gifts, broski." He said, handing a small box to Ink. Ink took it and smiled at the colorful wrapping.

"You guys brought gifts…?" He asked. Geno nodded and smiled.

"Yeah! Just think of it as our way of congratulating you." He said, sitting down on the couch with Reaper and Goth. Ink smiled and I pushed him down on the couch opposite of Geno and his family.

"Sit, Ink." I said, kissing his cheek. He giggled softly and smiled, resting against the couch as I got the little bags from the table. I sat down beside him and handed him the first gift as Fresh sat down on the ground.

"This is from Dream." I said, handing him the gift. Ink nodded in thanks and opened it up, gasping.

"Oh Dream…. It's perfect…." He smiled, pulling out a dream mobil with little stars. I smiled.

Not bad, Dream.

Geno pointed excitedly at a box on the floor.

"That one's from all of us!" He said. Reaper laughed.

"Us, meaning Geno, Goth and I." He said, pressing a kiss against Geno's forehead, making him laugh. I smiled and nk nudged me.

"Error, I want you to open this one." He said, giving me a loving gaze. I smiled and kissed him gently, making Geno "aww" out loud and the other two laugh. I pulled back and he smiled at me. I chuckled warmly.

"Alright… I think I can do that." I responded. He smiled and throughout the night we alternated opening gifts. Geno, Reaper and Goth had gotten us some footie pajamas that said "Daddy's Little Destroyer" earning a laugh from Ink and another that said "I Love Drawing with my Dad" making me smile as well as a little blue pacifier. Blue had gotten a soft blue blanket for PJ as well as a bib that said "I'm always hungry". Fresh got up and held out his little box and I looked at it wearily.

"What did you get us?" I asked, narrowing my eyes as I took the box in my hands. Fresh only smirked.

"Can;t tell ya. That defeats the purpose of the surprise, bro." He said. I rolled my eyes and cautiously opened the gift, Ink peering over my shoulder. I heard him gasp when he saw what it was.

"Fresh…. That was so thoughtful of you, thank you so much!" Ink said. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the little teddy bear sitting in the box. Ink gently pulled it out and giggled softly, tears brimming.

"I-It's perfect." He said. I chuckled and smiled.

"That's what you said about all the gifts." I said, making everyone chuckle. But he wasn't wrong. The bear was black and had a little pink bowtie as well as pink paws and muzzle. It had beady little brown eyes and it's mouth was turned up into a little smile. Perfect for our little PJ.

"I figured the lil' dude would need a rad pal." Fresh said, smiling. I smiled genuinely for the first time at him.

"Thanks Fresh." I said. He only smiled and nodded in response. I looked back at Ink and he was gently stroking the sides of his stomach, making me smile brighter.

Maybe Fresh isn't so bad after all.

Little Inky's so happyyyyy X333
