The Muffiny Family (Skephalo Triquel) Completed

The Anniversary Adoption

Things seemed to escalate quickly. Technoblade got the horse, and headed back to his kingdom. Meanwhile Bad was chewing his nails, anxiously waiting for the police to show up. They were going to fill Skeppy in on what happened, since they had proof that Jackson was Skeppy's kid.

"I hope they are okay..." Bad whined as he rocked himself on the sofa.

Skeppy rubbed his back. "I'm sure they will be...relax Bad, you only just met these people."

"Skeppy... whether you want to be involved or not, Jackson is still a child. He's so vulnerable right now, don't you understand? He can't defend himself." Bad sniffled.

Skeppy looked down and agreed silently. "We were supposed to have a romantic night together, not deal with this."

"I know I'm sorry..."

-

The police showed up, and informed them that the man had been arrested. He seemed to avoid talking about Ruth and Jackson.

"Thank you officer but...as kings we'll need to demand information on the child and wife." Bad wanted to stay polite.

Skeppy may not of been bonded with his child, but he was starting to get scared. He wouldn't wish anything bad upon a little kid. Especially not one that he made.

The officer sighed uncomfortably. He hated delivering bad news. "Unfortunately the woman was found dead, and the boy is in bad condition."

Bad and Skeppy eyed each other, Bad was the first to react.

"Oh no..." Bad's eyes filled with tears. He was still sore from Wilbur's death, this death didn't help at all. Even if he and Ruth barely knew each other. His heart also ached for the boy. He was all alone with no family to comfort him.

"Do you think we'd be able to see him?" Skeppy asked about his son. He felt the same sympathy as Bad. He may only of found out about this child, but he couldn't abandon him entirely.

"Since you are his biological father, yes you can probably see him. Though since you have no custody over him, don't expect much more than that." The officer told him.

"Alright, I get it. Just want to see how he's doing." Skeppy sighed and leaned on Bad.

-

Bad and Skeppy went to the hospital, once again leaving Duckie home. This time Puffy babysat him. She seemed a lot more comfortable with him now. Bad was happy for her making that improvement.

They waited in the hospital, while the receptionist figured out if they were allowed to see him or not. "Okay, we can let you both go in and see him. Just for a short visit."

Bad and Skeppy took whatever time they could get. They were given the room number, and then they went on their way.

Walking into the room was one of the hardest things Skeppy had to do. Regardless of the non-existent bond he had with his kid, that was still his flesh and bones.

Jackson's bones were broken, both of his arms. He was covered in bruises and a couple scrapes. All things considered, it could of been worse. His head was wrapped up, so they assumed he had a head injury as well.

Bad ran over and whimpered. He was a very emotional person. No normal person could see a child in that condition, and not feel upset.

Jackson was awake, but also falling asleep. They had given him pain medicine, and the poor child had no idea what was going on.

Skeppy came over and sat in a chair. "Do you think he knows what's going on?"

Bad shook his head and gently placed his hand over the kid's stomach. Hoping that wouldn't cause any pain. "Hey Jackson...you'll be alright."
