I'm willing to kill anything for my kids.

Ember's 7th birthday!(Preview&Update!)

Writer here! Sorry for not publishing in so many years! Or even disappearing- I've simply not been using Wattpad in a long time, if i read I read on Ao3, and while there are a few fics on ao3 now, i had hit a sudden, huge demotivated period in my life for writing, even drawing less. Eventually, I started drawing again, more than ever even. And I had joined a wonderful discord community and made some friends there, and started writing again too. I was still a bit demotivated, but I'm trying to sit down and simply force myself to write on one thing for a long period like I've heard works for some people. And it does for me. Because of this, I'm going to continue to edit fics here and post them on ao3, but note that i WILL still be updating fics here, including this one.

More information in my community post;3

Error woke up to vigerous knocking, or more like banging, on his door. He got up, and noticed the cat was waking up as well, obviously irritated. Not wanting to spoil the surprise because they annoyed the cat, he teleported right next to his door outside his room, and saw Ember there. They stopped and turned to Error, before smiling up at him. "It's my birthday!" They exclaimed, grabbing his sleeve and dragging him downstairs. He didn't know how early it was, but he did know he was exhausted. Definitely much too early for Ember to wake him.

As Error walked down the stairs, he saw his other three children, all very tired, making crude breakfasts or falling back asleep. "Ember. What time is it?" Error asked them, to which Ember turned back in confusion. "Birthday... time?" They said, to which Error sighed. They could read numbers, but clocks still confused them sometimes. "It..." Gradient started, yawning and spilling a bit of milk he tried to pour into his cereal bowl. "F*ck." "Language Gradient." Gradient only sighed and rolled his eyelights, before speaking again. "It's almost 7 in the morning, Ember actually woke us all up two hours ago, but you've been busy lately so we convinced them to let you sleep." Gradient explained, and Error looked confused, staring at the cereal. "Oh, this is my third bowl, PJ keeps falling asleep and getting reawakened by Ember, and Jupiter is acting like an office worker without coffee, which only got worse when she realized we're out of coffee." Gradient explained. From the kitchen, (Gradient was making cereal on the living room table) Jupiter yelled back, telling him to 'shut up'. Error sighed, the start of the birthday wasn't going so well, but then again, they're not usually up so early.

Error picked Ember up, put her on the couch, kneeled in front of her, and told her she shouldn't wake people up so early, unless it was an emergency. Once he was done with that, he went into the kitchen to talk with Jupiter, and help her find coffee.

Ember tilted their head in the direction their father went, before running up to Jammy and shaking them a bit. Jammy just absentmindedly waved them off, and readjusted herself in her sleep. Ember huffed, but then Gradient spoke up. "Ember, what did dad just say?" Gradient reminded, making Ember huff more. "But it's Ember's birthday! Jammy should be awake for iiiiiiit!" Ember whined out, and Gradient shook his head. "We aren't opening your presents until dinner anyways. And besides, PJ isn't a morning person, by far. Just let her sleep, and then later we can wake her up together. How does that sound?" Gradient asked, and Ember nodded in kind. That sounded like fun!

Gradient got some cereal for Ember as well, who ate it without much issue. Meanwhile, Error and Jupiter were having much issue.

Error helped Jupiter look for coffee, and was also annoyed when he couldn't find any. He opened a portal to an Outertale store with a yawn, getting some coffee for Jupiter, before opening another portal to Overtale and getting some coffee for himself. They had two coffee makers because if they didn't, Error and Jupiter would argue to no end about which coffee to make. Error liked a brand only found in Overtale, and Jupiter thought Outertale coffee was best, but would tolerate Undertale coffee, both of which Error hated.

The two grabbed their mugs, got their machines ready, and started said machines. They simply stood there as they waited for the liquid heaven to finish pouring into their mugs.

Once it was done, Jupiter finished first much to Error's annoyance, even though he got her coffee grounds first. They immediately took a huge swig of their drinks, and just liked that, the two could feel themselves getting better already, and they let out a content sigh, before Error remembered something. He turned to Jupiter with a confused look. "You've been looking for coffee for two hours?" Error asked, although he already knew the answer. Jupiter sighed back. "Well, I don't know... I guess my brain just wasn't willing to admit there was none. Plus, the more I looked, the angrier I got, and the more determined I became to find some." Jupiter explained, and Error nodded as he turned back to drinking his coffee, finishing it and pouring another cup.

The two then talked in general about how their week has been, or what gifts they got for Ember. Error refused to say any more than that Ember wasn't the only one who would like it, while Jupiter said all three of them contributed to their gift, but wouldn't say anymore than that.

Afterwards, the two walked into the living room, seeing PJ sleeping soundly, and Gradient making cereal for the two coffee addicts. The two thanked him in kind, eating their cereal as Gradient started putting the cereal box and milk away, and then grabbed some paper towels to clean the milk mess they made earlier.

Once everyone(except PJ) finished their breakfast, they then started a new series Blue suggested, 'Gravity Falls'. Each person got settled, Gradient and Ember waking up PJ by dumping a bit of water on them, much to their dismay. Gradient made some cereal for PJ, and they started Gravity Falls. As they watched the show, each of them got hooked for different reasons and different times. Bill Cipher quickly became Pj's favorite character, despite not a whole lot being known about him, and he absolutely cackled at the disembodied head scene that Dipper got scared of. Error and Ember liked Wendy, just thinking she was super cool. Plus, she was a lumberjack, which Ember loved. Jupiter isn't sure which is her favorite, and Gradient would probably choose one if he wasn't severely analyzing every little thing about every character. (Keep in mind the characters they wouldn't know so far)

Eventually, Error noticed the time and got up, telling them to get ready to leave because they were going out for a bit, before leaving himself and heading to his room.
