I wash out my bowl after finishing up a delicious snack of chopped tomatoes with mashed bananas. As I finish rinsing out the bowl and placing it on the drying rack, I hear the soft click of boots on tile. It's either Blue or Dream walking up behind me, probably Blue since we're about to leave anyway. As the solid light blue gloves come into view, I knew I had guessed right.
"Heya, Blue." I say, not bothering to turn around as Blue wraps his arms around me, disabling me from doing so anyway. He rests his chin on my shoulder. Him, Ink, and Dream have always been the more cuddly ones of the bunch.
"You about ready to go? We're running a bit behind, so you'll probably have to get to know everyone over dinner." He mutters quietly into me ear, making me shiver with unwanted arousal. He had been working on using his more 'inside voice' ever since Stella was born, his normal one tends to make her cry. But the low rough tone of it sometimes...gets me more than a little excited. It's not always like this though, I think he's doing it on purpose.
"Bluuuuuuee..." I whine, he chuckles. Yeah, he's doing it on purpose.
"Sorry, it's just so much fun to watch to get all hot and bothered over a simple change of tone!" His voice returns to his normal 'inside voice' and he untangles himself from around me, allowing me to step away from the sink.
"I'm going to go get ready, then we leave." I asserted, strutting past him, out of the kitchen.
"And I'm still mad at you!" I hollar from the top of the stairs, his laughter echoes back.
...
I felt a bit spicy today, so I throw on a cute summer dress that I bought before Stella was born, but it didn't fit then. I glide down the stairs, carefully carrying Stella in my opposite hand, so could hold onto the rail. Blue stares in awe at the sight of my decision of attire today, I usually walk around in sweat pants, so it's definitely a change.
"You like?" I ask, twirling around in front of him. He nods slowly, absorbing my appearance. I giggle quietly.
"Um...Blue?" Instead of answering, he gently grasps at my hips and pulls me in for a soft kiss.
"I love it, you look absolutely stunning..." he says, so confidently, I'm left speechless. He chuckles, and I tilt my head in confusion.
"What?"
"Sorry, that's clearly not druel dripping from the side of your mouth." I roll my eyes and wipe the dribble from my chin lightly pushing him out of the way.
"Yeah, and that's not a lightsaber in your pants!" I retort, pointing to the glowing erection on his crotch, his face explodes with Blue as he attempts to cover himself. I laugh and jump to the portal on his right before he can come up with any more whitty remarks.
...
"Blue? Can we take a little break?" I take a seat in a less snowy area in between two buildings. I feel like someone's...watching me. Blue soon joins me on the ground, taking Stella out of her carrier, he cradles her close to his rib cage.
She whines quietly at the chilly winter breeze.
"Okay, but we better hurry, little Stella can take the cold to much longer..." I barely process his words, the nauseating feeling bubbling up inside me blocking out most noise. I place a hand over my stomach, was it always slightly round before? I don't get much time to think about it though as I lurch to the side as far away from Blue and the baby and hurl up the last of my delicious snack. I look at the mess pitifully.
"Sweety?" Blue asks warily from behind me, I hobble to my feet, using the support of a wall.
"But that snack was so good though..." I complain sadly, tears start to well inn my eyes at the loss. Blue smiles weakly before placing Stella back in the carrier and picking it up as he stand as well.
"Honey, what's wrong?" What is wrong? Why am I crying over this? A sudden surge of anger waves throughout my body.
"Lets keep moving." I snap, the tears suddenly gone. I look over at Blue, who still looks slightly concerned. I sigh, and place my hands on my hips.
"I'm fine Blue, it's something I'm used to now." I turn and start walking, and by the crunching sound of foot steps behind me, I know Blue is following.
...
When we entered Blues old house, although the set up and basic structures of each person were essentially the same, things were still...different. But this time, Blue insisted introducing me to each person around the house, even though I told him I'm completely capable of doing so myself. I sigh, giving up, I let him lead me through the the house to each 'new' face. He started by introducing me to a robotic DJ and a shy female ghost. Then moved over to a violent lizard and a nervous looking fish woman, who the lizard claims to be her girlfriend.
Next was a gentle fatherly goat man dressed in robes watching over a small pale girl with light brown hair and...red eyes? And finally, we reached his brother.
"Papyrus, meet y/ n! Y/ n, meet Papyrus!" Like the rest of everyone here, Sans, which is what everyone refers to him as, and Papyrus have seemed to have swapped personalities. Leaving Sans as the rowdy one and Papyrus calm and relaxed.
"Nice ta meet ya, pal." Papyrus responds lazily, rolling a sucker between his teeth. How does it stay there?
"Nice to finally meet you to!" I respond cheerfully, enthusiastically shaking his hand, surprising him a little. I love meeting new people. He squints at me, his left eye catching a orange glow before suddenly returning back to his relaxed state. Is it suddenly really hot in here?
The rest of dinner went well and without incident. After dinner, Blue went off to socialize with the others and bring around the baby after I reassured him one hundred times over that I would be fine. I felt a bony hand on my shoulder, I stiffened immediately. It couldn't be Blue, I'm watching Blue interact with everyone in the living room!
"Hey, kid, relax, its just me. Mind if we chat outside?" He asks casually, I slowly nod my head. I feel like this won't be the easiest of chats. With a flash, were outside. He leans against the house, and I stand there in tense silence, before Papyrus finally decides to break it.
"So...your pregnant?" I stand there in shock, no, I can't be pregnant! Not again!
"What? No!" I shake my head taking a step back from the lengthy skeleton. He shakes his head and gives me a hollow.
"You humans can be so dense sometimes." When I don't respond he sighs.
"How much do you know about souls?" Really with the soul thing again?
"I...I know I have one..." I offer weakly, I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be getting out of this.
"Yeah, every living thing has one, including that kid inside you right now." I place a hand over my middle prospectively as things start to mentally click into place. The vomiting, the cravings, the mood swings. It all makes perfect sense.
"You can see it?" I ask almost to quietly, intrigued.
"Most monsters are able to detect the presence of another soul, known as 'soul sensitivity' but usually not in this early stage of life, when the soul is small and weak. But I happen to be very good at sensing souls through...practice." I nod along with him, as he speaks.
But there's one thing that doesn't make sense though..." Papyrus leans in, examining me. I make sure to stand still to avoid agitating him. Is there something wrong with the baby?
"Why is the soul split into seven different colors?"
oh God I am so so so sorry! This was supposed to be uploaded yesterday, but, in all honesty, I forgot...I'm sorry I didn't mean it! I'll be getting back on my normal schedule right way! Sorrrrryyyy! I feel really bad!
