Their Story ❤💚💖

Oh Baby... [Part 2.1]

Gods and Goddesses. A common term used for beings of a greater power, and often are worshipped with their own surrounding religion or followers. As for whether or not they truly exist or are an excuse for the unknown depends on who you ask.

Dear Reader,
Whoever claims the gods aren't real, are misguided and wrong. Gods are as real as you and me, and range from a simple God of wine to the Goddess of Death herself.

They don't co-exist with the Watchers well, wanting to interfere with mortals far too much. Plus, their powers are much more controlled and centralized around one concept compared to the Watchers.

Their hierarchy is almost completely opposite to the way the Watchers have set up theirs. It depends almost entirely on two things. Purity and Age. Power holds some sway, but in the end it's not the most important attribute to the gods.
There are two who lead over the rest, however they don't truly lead rather than supervise.
They're exactly who you'd expect.
Life and Death

For now, that's all I will leave you with. But rest assured, dear readers. You will find out more in time. By my hand, by a familiar face, or perhaps even by your own intellect.

A familiar chime sounded through the commlink, the sound of someone joining a call.
"Mate? It's the middle of the night? What's going on?" The man was tired, it was evident in his tone.
"Phil, thank the gods you picked up. We need your help." It was frantic, but more in a panic than something was seriously wrong.
"Techno, mate. Calm down. What's going on?"
A crying sounded out on one end of the call. In the background, you could hear Dream calling out Techno's name.
"It might be best if you just come over- don't give her to me I don't know what to do either- Dream!" Techno sounded like he pulled away from the mic.
"Techno? I'm on my way, what happened??"
"Heeeey Phil." A new voice. Dream. "So. How do we stop a baby from crying??"
"A baby?!" Phil exclaimed.
"Yes. A baby. That's what I- Yes, Phil is on his way, Techno. No, don't wake up Grian, he needs his sleep.- I'll see you when you get here Phil."
"Dream!!"
A similar chime that sounded out from the beginning of the call sounded again, slightly lower, someone from the call disconnecting.

Wait... we're missing a piece of the story. Hold on- my bad
*Shuffling of papers and a small sound of a rewinding tape*
Ah! Here we were. Ok, let's continue.

They both looked over at their now-asleep boyfriend with matching looks of remorse and guilt.
Techno opened his mouth to speak once again before both of their thoughts were interrupted by a crying behind them.

Dream frowned in confusion, putting all his weight onto one arm as he turned to look behind him. Techno was in a similar pattern, looking over at Grian one last time before turning around as well.
"Holy shit." Dream muttered, nearly falling over as he jumped to his feet. Techno stayed sitting.
"Dream. Dream that's a baby. How did it get in here- where did it come from?!" Techno asked, a rising panic evident in his tone.
The green-clad man picked up the young child and held her close to his chest. She had short fluffy pink hair, and when her eyes peeled open she was revealed to have a light blue eye color. They shone with tears as the little girl looked up at the man holding her, a touch of wonder hidden underneath the dreadful tears. "I don't know, Techno." He paused, looking down at the child in his arms. "She looks a little like you, don't you think?."
The baby sniffled and buried her face in the male's hoodie with a whine.
"What?!" Technonically exclaimed, forgetting for a moment Grian was still asleep. "No, that can't be right."
Dream held her out to his boyfriend when he approached. "She has your hair color, albeit lighter. And your nose."
"If anything she looks more like Grian. Big blue eyes and fluffy hair? Not to mention how small she is." Techno offered, taking the baby into his own arms hesitantly. "But that's crazy."
Dream went to reply when the baby gripped Tech's shirt in her small fists and cried out loudly, tears streaming down her face. Both men started to panic, bouncing her and shushing her in desperate attempts to stop the crying.
"Techno! What did you do!?" Dream exclaimed, watching his boyfriend try to calm the little girl.
"I don't know! Nothing!!"
"Just calm her down! She's going to wake up Grian!"
"I don't know how to deal with babies!" Techno exclaimed, wincing as the baby pulled on his hair, which was slowly coming out of the ponytail he put it in so it wouldn't get as tangled while he slept.
"I don't either! You have two younger brothers, what do you mean you don't know how to take care of babies?!" Dream responded in a similar tone, both panicking. Dream had pulled out his admin panel to check the young girl's code while they were speaking.
"You have a younger sister and you don't either! Besides, Wilbur is my twin! I wouldn't have taken care of him as a baby!"
"Techno, shut up." Dream said, suddenly a lot more confused and noticeably quieter too.
"What? I'm trying to calm down the crying baby."
"Look at this, Techno." Dream said, turning his panel around and allowing it to be visible to other players.
