An Unexpected Surprise |Inkmare|

Chapter 12: growing family

"Ok, so... just stomach pain?" Sci asked, a small, child Papyrus on his back.
"Uh, yeah." Nightmare rubbed the back of a small slumped over Ink.
"Ok... well... can I see your stomach?" Ink and Nightmare walked over to Sci, who stood in front of a small room's door.
"Just Ink, please." He smiled, putting Papyrus down.
"Bitch, I'm the father, let me in."

Nightmare sat Ink down on a small table. Lifting his shirt, Ink showed the scientist his stomach.
"Ah, easy. You're fine, it's just the soul multiplying." The doctor smiled.
"Wait what?" Nightmare looked confused.
"Twins."
"Twins?!"

Cross banged his fists firmly on the wooden table beneath him. "First you expect me to betray my team, which, if I do, I could get killed, and now you want me to kill something that was never born?!" The sans yelled, his expression was calm but it didn't match the tone of voice he was using. "If Nightmare finds out I've even discussed that with you, he would kill me on the spot!"

"You came to me, Cross." Cross-eyed the mystery person. He could tell by the voice that it was masculine, but the dark figure had a feminine tone. "All I'm asking is that you exploit your crush and prevent a disaster." The voice was unnervingly calm. "Besides, Ink betrayed you, didn't he? This could be your revenge. He doesn't care about anyone but himself, it would be impossible for him too, remember?" The figure tapped its shadowed hand on the table three times.
Cross scowled as he remembered when Ink and he were.. friends. Ew, how disgusting.

"What do you want with Ink?" Cross asked, he didn't look at the shadow.
"We have... unfinished business." The voice chuckled, a small hint of insanity shone through.
"I would happily play Jekyll and Hyde, but I won't kill a child, I'm not that person." Cross calmed himself.
The voice groaned.

"Fine, take these." Three bottles of tablets rolled across the shadowy table. "I want you to solute these in whatever hot drink and poison Ink at least once every day. From what I've heard from following Nightmare, he will be spending more time in the castle. It won't hurt Ink or the...child. It's just to mess with his mind a little."

Ink wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead as all eyes pinned on him. "So-.." a glitched voice spoke, "he's betrayed Dream and decided to join us?" Error looked at Ink with a strange look.
"Yep." Ink and Nightmare said at the same time, one more confidently than the other.
"Ok." Error shrugged and walked off.

Nightmare looked to the murder trio, who all looked as if they didn't care. "Thanks, boss for waking us up to tell us we have a new crewmate." Dust rolled his eyes dramatically and stood, killer and horror following.
"It's like, 3 pm." Ink mumbled.
"Dust, for that you need to now clean the fridge."

"No- no, no, no, oh god no..."
"Hahaha, good fucking luck, dust!" Horror slapped a hand on his mate's shoulder and walked out with Killer behind him.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Cross walked through the large, wooden doors of the meeting room. He locked eyes with dust. "What's his punishment this time?" He asked Ink.
Ink chuckled. "He has to clean the fridge."
"Oh, oh god." Cross quivered.
