I lay on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, recalling the last few hours in my mind, none of if making sense.
After explaining to Papyrus that Blue was not the only lover in my life, he nearly killed by a blast from some weird floating dog head. The sound was enough to draw Blue out of the house to investigate. I don't remember much after that, there was some yelling on Blues part, somewhere we had bid everyone goodbye, and apparently went home. But my mind was somewhere else completely, how am I going to tell them that I'm pregnant?
Especially right now, my parents anniversary is coming up, and I can't ignore their death forever, I need to drive up there. How knows? Maybe it will clear my head around the whole situation. I'd hate to drag them down into my mess. Or should I tell them now and get it out of the way? I groan and rub my temples, ugh...I don't know.
Even now I'm still working on autopilot while I piece the entire situation together, I know I shouldn't worry, they love me and I love them. And with them running tests to help figure out what's 'wrong' it's only a matter of time before this new baby is confirmed. Well if anything's confirmed, it's that I'm probably on Papyrus's hit list now. I huff a weak laugh before sitting up and sliding off the bed and dragging myself out of the room to finally spill the news.
I call everyone down to the living room, as I await them, I nervously pace the length of the room. There are so many memories in here, from the time I first met them, to my...exotic times with Blue, and soon, the announcement of a second child on the way. As each of them clamber into the room, they all look either excited or nervous, wonder what's got them all worked up? Chess is the last one to step in, hugging a bundle of papers close to his body, as if to protect them. There's a large nervous smile on his face.
"I have some pretty important news for you guys..." I rub my hands together to rid them of the beads of nervous sweat gathering on my palms, but chose to nonchalantly wipe them on my shirt instead when that doesn't work.
"We've got some pretty big news to share too." Chess says, clutching the documents even tighter, his smile getting wider. Well what a coincidence, I place my hands on my hips as I work around this predicament.
"How about at the count of three, we both share out news at the same time?" They agreed to this easily, just wanting to get the news out there. Especially Blue and Dream, they looked like they were going to explode.
"1...2...3!"
"I'm pregnant."
"Your pregnant!"
...
"And that's how I found out." I finish explaining my story, they don't have to explain theirs, it's kind of obvious what happened. There's silence, then Blue explodes.
"GOSH DARN IT PAPYRUS! HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT! SOMETHIMES I COULD JUST-"
"Blue! Blue! It's alright!" I lace my fingers through his sitting him beside me on the couch again. He taps his booted foot against the oak floors in silent agitation, but stops when he turns to look at me.
"Y/n...why are you crying?" I'm crying? I wipe a hand over my face and sure enough, it had the clear fluid only known as tears streaked across it. They only come faster when I see the physical evidence of them. I'm suddenly surrounded by my loved ones, all trying to comfort me. But they can't bring me peace on this one, I have to do that myself this time around.
"Is it about the baby?" Ink asks
"If you really don't want it...we could-" I cut Serif off, of COURSE I want the baby
"No! We're keeping the baby, no matter what." They looked relieved.
"Then...what's got you so upset?" Geno pops the question again.
"Guys...remember when I told you about my...late parents?" I hope they remember, I mention it briefly when speaking about my past, but I wouldn't be upset if they didn't remember. It's been a while. I get sad nods from everyone, surprisingly.
"Their anniversary is in a couple days, and this pregnancy plus that is a little much..." I explain, I'm handed a tissue, which I accept gratefully and wipe away the streaks of tears from my face.
"I'm going to visit them...soon..." someone takes the crumpled tissue from my hands.
"We're here for you, y/ n..." although I appreciate their efforts, really, I do. But I need to be alone for a while, I need time to think, to recuperate.
"Guys, I love you all so much..." I pull all of them into a long hug, salty tears streaming down my face. I force myself to let go.
"I...need to lay down, to think for a little while..." I say quietly, I need to escape by myself for a while. They give me room to get up and leave, which I do. I send them one last tired smile before heading up stairs and into my room. I just need to sleep right now, rest my mind a bit from all of this new information. I yawn and spread out comfortably over top my bed, trying to relax. After tossing and turning for what felt like hours, I was able to slip in some good night's rest...
"Guys I'm home!" I close the door after a long days work, ready to see my family again. This house doesn't look to familiar...did we switch around a few things? I waltz into the kitchen, feeling energized, only to find Ink, Error, Dream, and Nightmare all arguing there. I hide around the corner of the kitchen...totally not eavesdropping.
"What the hell did you do, Halluciv?!" One voice bellows
"I'm sorry Mavul! I just got excited, and-" another squeaked back
"Will both of you shut up?! Reboot is the only one who can get us out of here." A different one barks.
"Calm down, Eraser, now if we can-" my grip on the wall slips and I stumble out in front of the group. There is tense silence as we all wait for someone to make the first move. I run, that is until hear the thundering sounds of multiple people behind me. I try to lose them, but the map of this house makes no sense! I run into the bathroom to end up on the couch, then try to lock myself in a bedroom to find myself in the basement!
I try going outside but the front door is locked, I'm trapped, I turn around and greeted by the group of lookalikes. The one looking like Dream tries to grab me, but the second our bodies meet, there's a bright flash.
"Stop!" I yell, shooting up in bed, wheezing. I wipe some sweat from my brow, just a bad dream. I check the time and see it's 8:09 in the morning, did I really sleep through the entire night? No matter, I feel a little better that I did yesterday, actually. I get up and take a shower, excited to share my dream with the others.
