FCOR (Nightkiller)

Chapter 4 - Rue, An unfortunate name indeed.

I felt something breathing against my face and I wake up, I saw my baby, wrapped in white cloth. I cried again, I finally got to meet my baby. I sat up and gently brought my baby in my arms. I didn't know if It was a girl or boy but that didn't matter, all that mattered at the moment was my precious child.

I felt someone hug me at my back and I turn to see Color. I smile, thinking nothing of It and turned my attention back to my baby. "So, what are you gonna name him?", Color asks. I hummed and asked him, "He's a boy?". Color replies, "Yep, Doctor told me after you passed out, also you broke my left hand...". I awkwardly chuckle and a nurse came by us.

"Good Afternoon, Mr. Rahafwabas! Congratulations on being a mother, although...may I ask who's the father?", She asks. "Thank you Mrs..but, I don't want to talk about his father...", I answered in a low tone. Color comforts me and I smiled, "It's kind of personal ma'am." Color said. The nurse nodded, "Also, Mr. Rahafwabas, all your medical bills and paperwork is already been taken care of." She said in a happy voice.

Wait, what did she just say?

"E-excuse me Mrs. Who paid my bills?" I asked, dead serious. "He wanted to stay anonymous but he allowed us to refer to him by his last name.", The nurse said truthfully. I could see that Color was confused, he didn't pay the bills yet and neither did I...

Who the fuck paid the bills?

"What's his last name?", I ask, breaking the silence. "Well, I think It was "Joki" or was it "Jaku"...wait, please give me a minute to recollect..." The Nurse said embarrassingly. "Joku, Is it "Joku"?" I asked...She looked at me in surprise and said "That's his name! Well, i have to get going, I hope you all have a wonderful evening." Before leaving us three.

Color let go of me and walked in front of me, he looks at me with confusion and I said, "Joku is Nightmare's last name...". He was shocked, I couldn't blame him. But then, I heard a crying noise, I looked down and saw my baby Crying. I pulled him close to me and I smile, Nightmare still cared for me...

I rock the baby gently and he stopped crying and went back to sleep. "Hey Color, can I get some water?" I asked, "Sure thing." He replies and walks away and leaves the room. I turned my attention back to my baby and I realize...I didn't give him a name..

Just then, someone came inside the room, I look up and I saw...

...Nightmare.

He was in his passive form and he walked closer to my bed. I was so shocked, I didn't expect him to show up. We both have an awkward moment and he broke the silence by saying, "So..It's true afterall, you left me for some broke asshole?", I noticed Nightmare's voice changed and he sounded like he was about to cry.

"N-night-", "So, what are you gonna name the kid? Do you even want me to get involve with his life?" Nightmare asks, cutting me off. I was silent..

I thought all the words in my head, again, again, and again, as my memories played like a guitar, I've suffered so much. I was silent for a moment...I looked up to Night and asked, "Do you want to get involve in his life?". He stared at his son and said "Of course, I want to, kills... but I can't if you don't let me."

When I heard Nightmare say "But I can't if you don't let me.", I imediately realized that was a great opening, I can't let H*te hurt Nightmare or my child, so I guess I have to do this.. I knew it was gonna hurt but if it was for both Nightmare and our child's safety, I was through with it..

I slowly turned around, facing my back towards Nightmare. I don't know what was his expression and I didn't want to see it. "His name is..." I looked at Rue and I found the reason why my Life was like this. He looked like Nightmare, Nightmare...

If only I never made that deal with Nightmare.

"His name is Rue, now get out!" I shouted, "But Kills-", "I said, get out!" I shouted with tears falling down my face. Everything was quiet for a moment, then I heard footsteps walking away and the door opened and closed. Nightmare was gone. I lay on the bed and gently placed Rue beside me, I wish that I could cry but I held it back in..

Rue...

The door opened and I didn't even bother to look at the person who came in, until I heard Color's voice say, "You okay buddy?". I slowly sat up and replied "Not really..", he walked closer to me and sat beside me, he offered me a water bottle and said, "Why tho'?". I took the water bottle and twisted the cap, "Nightmare came in a few minutes ago.." I reply.

"Wait, Nightmare...was here? Did you make up with him?" Color asks, I was silent. "I kind of made it worst...", I answer, I wasn't proud of my answer and neither was I proud of what I did. "By the way Kills, is the purple skeleton with the fancy coat, Nightmare? As in, your goopy ex.boss?", I sighed, he must have seen Nightmare. "Yeah, you've seen him?" I ask, he was quiet for a moment. I chuckled, "Did he do anything to you?" I ask.

He was silent, this made me stop and turn serious. "What did he do to you?", I ask. He was silent, "S-so...What did you name your kid?" He asks, trying to dodge my question. I fiddled with my thumbs, I made a horrible name choice for my baby...", I named him "Rue".." He looked at me with shock, I guess he knew the meaning of that name.

"...Why did you name your kid...that?", He asks, he was concerned and I sighed. "Don't bring this up, ever again." I said in a cold voice.
