The child nextdoor

Chapter 15

Third pov

Excitement filled up inside of autumn, she gets to stay, and she has new dads? This has got to be the best day of her life, not only is she free of her parents but she gained a parent after and other family members as well.

After a few sentences being thrown back and forth between sans and Toriel, it came to an agreement that once every month Toriel came by to check on her. " To make sure she's being properly taken care of under such an.... influence"

Which wine didn't really didn't take much offense to, his brothers on the other hand well didn't take so kindly to that insult from her, nonetheless the insult was pushed aside and their attention was put back on what to do now, honestly they were all a little surprised wine and his brother went out and adopted her, including sans himself. They don't mind it of course, quite honestly they wanted her to stay anyway, so this adoption surprise was a nice one at that. All that was needed to be done was to get autumn a very good doctor and dentist, a dam well good school and she will be completely set.

Here she was sitting on the couch watching cartoons, pumpkin and papyrus by her side to make sure she was ok physically at the moment when they found out about dust, which was another problem they had to deal with, now that dust knows there's no doubt he's going to let nightmare and the others know as well.

While the three of them sat in the living room doing their own thing, sans and wine were inside of the kitchen talking back and forth with one another about which school to send her too, wine insisted on trying to set her up with a private school, but it butted heads a bit due to not having enough money for them due to how expensive they are. So they had to settle with public schools, plus he wanted his daughter to have free reign of her looks, he didn't want her wearing those boring old school uniforms, but that doesn't mean he won't give her his own private tutoring lessons.

" so since we've decided on what school to send the kiddo too, what are we going to do about a doctor and dentist?"

" DOCTOR ALPHYS HAS ALWAYS HELPED UP BEFORE, I'M SURE SHE WOULDN'T MIND AN EXTRA PATIENT"

" Im not certain if she'd be up to taking another patient, maybe one of her sisters might be able to help, or doctor poppy"

" EITHER ONE IS FINE, AS LONG AS JACKLE AND TYKE STAY AWAY FROM HER I'LL BE FINE"

sans gave wine a nod of agreement, rubbing his hands against his head softly while autumn came running in, holding on to a piece of paper. When she got up to sans's side, she held the paper up in the air with a proud and bright smile.

" Lookie!" She squeaked catching both of the skeletons attention to the picture drawn in markers and crayon. The two smiled, complimenting her before ushering her back to the living room so wine and boss could get started on dinner for that evening.

Autumn nodded at the two of them, before running back to the living room, where she laid back down on the floor to continue the drawing she had gotten started on when she noticed kofi working on some art in a nearby chair, he noticed she seemed intrigued by it and had offered her a few pieces of paper and a couple of markers and crayons for her to use.

" Papa kofi"

" Hmm...?"

" How long how you been drawing for?"

Kofi thought for a moment. " A...a few years..."

" Whoa! That long!"

Kofi gave a short nod.

" Will I be as good as you when I get older?"

" Well...if you practice enough yeah, from the looks of it you're going to be a natural at art!" Kofi explained patting the child's head, autumn gave a soft smile up at the taller skeleton, peering down at her work while a few more skeletons, mainly red, edge and mutt, all came in to the living room to hang out while they waited for dinner.

When it was that time, sans had mentioned to autumn that they were going to take her to see a friend of there's some time tomorrow, then after go see a school for her to attend to the following Monday. Autumn grew a little bit nervous at the mention of school. She had never been to school before, which was surprising due to how mature she is for her age. Most of the stuff she learned from the TV or from other people she had met before.

The police has been called on her parents for negligence of education, but the charges would be dropped as a count of her parents were ' home schooling her'. It was a lie of course, but it still went over the police officers head each time they were called. Autumn stayed quiet the rest of dinner, once it was over she was ushered off for a bath, afterwards she had a little bit of play time before she had to go to bed for the next day.

All through the night she couldn't get much sleep at all, tossing and turning around as the thoughts of school popped in to her head.

' what If they don't like me....what if I'm not good enough for school'

Autumn sat up in her bed, peering down at the stuffed rabbit that sat in her lap, a look of determination appearing on her face.

' I'm sure I can make it through school! I trusty new family! They would never lie to me!'.

" Would they?"
