Us? (Errorink) [On Hiatus]

Chapter 21: 《"Forgotten"》

-----------------------------------------------
-=Sci's point of view=-

". . . It is 10:00." I whispered under my breath, looking at my wristwatch. Earlier, the morning when Ink brought Pj to my AU, I had a talk with him about the new school opening at a new unknown AU. He seemed to know about it, but he was not fully detailed. But, now, at the current time. I had highly guessed Ink forgot he has a son. I turned to see Pj softly asleep on the velvet cushioned couch. Pj enjoyed taking naps and reading books involved with history, English, and magic. He did not look so pleased with the other genres but was quick to learn about it.

Well, I thought that their unexpected offspring to be moderately intelligent, yet my expectations led me to shock. He is a quick learner, quick reactions, agility, and his endurance and speed were at a moderate level. Still, it would be surprising.

I sighed and sat on an armchair identical to the couch in front. I sent a short text towards Dream until minutes passed, and he replied.
-----------------------------------------------

●_"Sorry to text you at this hour, but would it be alright if you would come pick up Ink's child from my laboratory? I know there is a high possible chance he had forgotten to. Would it be alright?"

●_"INK HAS A CHILD!?"

●_"Did Cross not inform you? Oh dear. . . Well, it is better to ask your husband, I do not know much details that might be important. I will be off soon, I can not leave the child alone, nor would I be able to take care of them either, I will be busy for the following hours."

●_". . E-eh. ."

●_". .Thank you, sorry for keeping you up so late, I will be there shortly."

●_"No worries, thank you as well."

Shortly after, Dream teleported right in front of the door, which was behind me. He entered wearily so as not to disturb. "Oh my. . ." He said, walking towards the child in shock and awe. "I would need answers right now, but I would not like to keep you up much longer. Thank you. . . But Sci, what are they doing here?" He lowly said, sounding like he whispered his words to not wake the child. "I decided to take part in teaching the child. And they truly caught my interest." I responded. "I see. . I will ask for more details to Cross. Thank you for taking care of the child, Sci." He smiled softly as he spoke. "My pleasure, and do remind your brother-in-law to pick him up at a designated time." I chuckled lowly as my eye sockets were half open.

"I will. Thank you once again." He said, slowly slipping the child onto his arms. The child shuffled for a moment before staying still in his deep slumber once again. I simply nodded, and Dream teleported away. Now I was alone. But an unexpected guest happened to visit. "I see you are exhausted, Sci." A soft, warm voice spoke behind me. Turning around, the curious, formal-attired girl let out an aura of comfort. Her aura had always vividly swept away any monsters nor persons feelings and turned them into a warm, relaxed manner. "May I ask if my documents are now prepared?" She said, sitting on the armchair in a refined manner. Her right leg crossed, and her hands to her knee.

"I need a few more days to complete the documents you asked for, I do not work as quickly as you do." I responded lazily. She chuckled softly, "People do change on mood. You used to be so formal around me." She playfully stated as she held out her pointer finger to gesture her observance. "As always, your grace." She giggled and let out a medium-sized pouch. "My payment, if you find it not enough, I can give you more until you are satisfied." She said, placing it onto the coffee table. "I am grateful, for you are always very considerate, your grace." I said softly with a smile stretched on my face.

"My dearest pleasure."

-=Dream's point of view=-

I lazily scrolled at my phone for a certain call number. Shortly soon, I saw a number labelled 'Ink'. I tapped on the screen and waited for him to pick up. While waiting, I glanced at the child who was deeply asleep, fully tucked in a warm blanket and a pillow under his head that rested on my lap. Ink then picked up and mumbled a 'hi, what is it. .?' Statement sleepily ending with a yawn. "You left your child at Sci's laboratory, and I had to pick them up." I blankly replied. I then held out my phone a few inches away before hearing a panicked response.

_" I do not have a- . . . WHAT!? HOLY ASGORE, I ALMOST FORGOT! I- IS HE ALRIGHT!?-"

_" Yes, yes, yes he is. Please write that down, at least."

_" A-apologies if I had you tangled in, I will pick him up shortly, thank you so much, Dream. Sorry again. . ."

_" Accepted, please just hurry, both of us know we want to sleep. But Swap and I will have a talk with you tomorrow, is that clear?"

_" Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

_" My pleasure. ."

<Beep>

A heavy sigh escaped from my lips. I dropped my phone down to my side. Slowly, I put my hand on to the childs forehead and then proceeded to gently stroke them. I closed my eyes. Not long after, Ink popped out of nowhere and hurriedly came towards me. "Sorry to keep you up so late. . ." He whispered. "Mm. . . I am glad you are taking some rest. So, how has your nightmares went? Do they keep coming?" I asked as I lifted both my eye lids half. "They stopped, but I hope it will stay like that. . . Thank you for asking, I have to go now, thank you." He whispered. Slowly, he slipped the child in his arms with yellow eyelights to his left eye and a purple one on the other.

"Alright, be careful. Goodnight, " I said with a small smile forming on my face. "Mm, goodnight to you too." He said before teleporting away and to where he was going. I stood up, walked towards the stairs stopping, and switched the light switches off before climbing. I drowsily walked to my shared bedroom and flopped down. Cross seems to move slightly and turn to my side. "Where were you. . .?" He grumbled, lifting his eyelids. "Something important. . We will need to talk later tomorrow. . ." I whispered back. "Why?" He asked. "Something." I responded. "Alright. . . Just change first. You are not sleeping with those on."

"Mm. . ." I groaned and sat up. I walked towards our closet and pulled out a set of clothes, and went to the bathroom to get changed.

After that, I collapsed onto my shared bed. Slipping myself under the silky soft sheets, I was met with a warm embrace from my husband. I smiled and caressed my husband's cheek and slowly faded to sleep. I heard a small 'goodnight', then sounds of the wind blowing outside of my window.

"Goodnight. . . Love you."
