"So we just...", Dream pauses as he sets up the phone camera just high enough so that both of their faces are in frame, "film?", he finishes.

It's an uncomfortable silence compared to that of yesterday, both of them fully aware of what is about to happen. They're about to reveal their almost a month old daughter to the world before she can even comprehend what's happening. It isn't fair that they should have to do this but someone did it for them and now they simply have to put the speculations to rest.

Besides, if they don't then it's only a matter of time before they get doxxed and someone reveals the truth for them. It isn't fair, George thinks to himself as he watches Dream set up the little phone camera, they shouldn't have to be doing this.

The internet is a horrible place sometimes and definitely something George wants to ensure he protects Adelia from for as long as possible. But he knows there will be a time when longer brunette curls and sticky humous covered fingers make their way to his phone when he isn't watching and films a silly video for him to watch later.

It'll be cute at first, but he knows the curiosity will only grow, that by the time she can speak properly she'll be asking to film little videos to put out onto the internet for the world to see. Their fans will cheer with joy in two years time, happy to see a cheesy grin with poorly tied hair in small bunches babbling on about her latest endeavours whilst it's all George can do but watch from the side with a smile as she grows.

He knows he can't keep her away from it forever, it's inevitable really, what with content creation being both his and Dreams jobs. But he would've at least wanted to wait until they could reveal her in their own time.

Alas, here they are with Dream leaning back and hitting record whilst George sits with Adelia asleep in his arms, her head tucked into his chest for extra protection. The plan is just to record anything and then edit it all together quickly before posting it as soon as it's ready to go.

"Dream", George starts, pulling a small brunette mess of hair closer into his body, "Do we have to do this? I mean what if we just didn't address it?", he knows it's unrealistic and that they have to do something about it but with Adelia pulled close to his body, breathing softly, his heartstrings tug. He doesn't want to let her go, let her into the world that is the internet where she'll be judged before she's even celebrated a birthday.

"George, you know we do", Dream sighs gently, "I don't want to do this either but you know we have to", he brings a hand up to his face and rubs his eyebrows, "God it's so fucked I know but it's either this or someone doxxes our location and personally I prefer the first option".

A small laugh emits from George at this despite it not being remotely funny.

"But she's too delicate", he argues knowing full well his attempts are going to wind up being futile, "She can barely hold up her own head", his voice shakes slightly to which Dream sighs. It hurts him too knowing that this is the only way they can get out of this situation, he doesn't want to let Adelia go either.

The blonde lifts an arm and wraps it around George, pulling both him and Adelia close in a way of comfort.

"I know", Dream mumbles, "If there were any other way of doing this then we would, trust me".

"I trust you Dream", George sighs as he bites his lip, "I'm just so scared of what's going to happen to her, of the amount of people that are going to tear her apart before we've even had the chance to see her personality", his voice wobbles as he talks, "I love her too much for that to happen".
