Opposite Blue

Chapter 47 - Routine

One month later...
9AM
Dream's View:
I dropped the twins off at school and took Lux and Jammy to daycare. Cross and I had the whole day to ourselves and we were so relieved. The last two months or so had been so tiring. I had been helping Blue with the baby and keeping the castle in check as my brother and Blue stayed closed by Navy.

* Ready for some us time?

Cross kissed my hand and handed me a rose.

* Yes, finally!

I hugged him and we went out for a walk.

Blue's View:
I stopped my morning alarm from going on and Nightmare groaned as we heard Navy's screech.

* ...I'll get 'em...

Nightmare rolled out of bed and went to get Navy. I sat up and properly woke up for the day. I had an appointment to remove my stitches and a general appointment for my soul. I showered and changed into some comfy clothes before going to the kitchen where everyone was having breakfast (except the children, they were at school). Nightmare was feeding Navy a bottle that I'd pumped yesterday evening. Dream and Cross were sitting together, eating heart shaped pancakes. The rest we're eating together but Killer...he seemed lost in though.

I went to sit with him.

* Morning Killer! Is everything okay..?

* Yeah...Yeah everything's fine. How are you?

* I'm doing well. :)

We ate breakfast and waited for the others. I took Navy and went to get him and I ready for the appointment while Nightmare had a meeting with his team. Dream and Cross went out for some personal free time with one another.

I wish Nightmare and I had to the time to do that as well.

But I understood why now wouldn't be ideal. With taking care of a vulnerable baby to managing the positivity and negativity levels of a multiverse, it's not easily at all to find free time! But I still loved him and appreciated everything he did for us. :)

* Ready?

* Mhm!

I put Navy into his car seat and sat at the back with him at Nightmare started the car.

Luna have you put your seatbelt on?

I don't wanna!!

Luna, please put it on!

...Fine-!

I looked at the empty seat next to me.

Dad please can we go get ice cream, you promised last week!

Did I?

Her school report, Nightmare.

Ohhh- right- sure, we can get ice cream.

Yay!!

She would've been such an amazing sister...

* Blue, I've called your name five times-

* Oh- sorry! I was...thinking.

* No worries sweetheart. Do you need to go shopping after the appointment?

* That would be great, thanks!

Nightmare smiled. We arrived at the hospital and checked in to confirm our appointment. The doctor called us in. Nightmare took Navy with the nurses for his weigh in and vitals check while my stitches were removed. My usually doctor wasn't here, so a new one took her place. He had an aura that I wasn't a fan of.

* So, I don't need to rest anymore?

'No.'

He finished removing the last stitch and checked to make sure it was healing well.

'It looks good, healing very well.'

Say 'aah!'

Mama I don't wanna!

I'm right here sunshine. :)

* Thank you...

'Is there something wrong?'

* No...no, just thinking about something.

The doctor laid his hand on my lap.

'Would you like to talk about it, Blue?'

I quickly stood up and denied his request.

'It would be beneficial..'

* It's fine.

'Alright then. As usual is anything changes come back and we can check it out.'

He glared at me before I left.

Weirdo.

I went straight to Nightmare and Navy.

* How was the appointment?

* It was a different doctor, and he was a total creep.

* Jeez, sorry about that...want me to torture him to the point of his life being not worth living?

* No Nightmare...let's just increase security around the house a little...after all the hospital has our details.

* Of course, my love.

'Navy is doing great! Perfect doses of his medication and growing as a great rate! You have a strong little one.'

* He gets it from his father. 😉

Nightmare smiled, taking Navy from the nurse. We got back to the car and started the drive to the mall. After shopping we drove back home to find Cross and Dream watching a movie with the others in the living room.

Except Killer..

* Where's Killer?

* He said he had to go do something-

* Do what?

* No idea.

Dust replied. I took Navy upstairs and fed him, changed his diaper and put him to sleep.

* He's always in that FUCKING timeline!

* Maybe he likes the stars or something, I dunno-

* Really? THERE'S STARS IN THIS TIMELINE.

I entered the meeting room as Nightmare was arguing with Dust, Killer, and Horror.

Had he still not figured it out? I sighed heavily.

* I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, Nightmare...

* He shows up for missions late because he "forgets", when he's away from the others the chances of being attacked shoots through the roof and his positivity boost these days are...well they're weird!

* Happier then usually, hanging out in another timeline, forgetting his usual schedule. Ring a bell?

I knew the others had figured it out but Nightmare was so...clueless!

* Blue, your riddles are terrible.

The others started laughing, and Nightmare turned to glare at them.

* Okay, okay. He's-

* Blue another riddle won't do anything, just tell me wh-

* I think he's in love Nightmare.

Nightmare paused for a bit.

* What did you just say?

* I- Nightmare you can't be mad at him for being in love, love is natural!

He teleported off.
