Opposite Blue

Chapter 89 - Suspicious

One week later...

10am

Ink's View:
I ate breakfast before going into the playroom with Dream, Blue, Outer, and their children. All the children were playing about, which made me happy.

But that girl hadn't left my mind.
I wonder why Bete wanted me more than anyone else.

I wasn't special.

* Ink, you there?

* Yeah, what's up?

* You look worried, and your aura changed too.

* ...I'm fine.

Blue and Outer looked at me.

* You? Fine? You're never fine...

* Is something bothering you? Should we get Sci?

* Guys I'm fine, really, I'm just achy. 😅  

They sighed with relief. I left Jammy to play with the others and went to the garden for some fresh air.

* I know you're there.

"Aww, did ya miss me?" She handed me a milkshake.

* No, why are you here exactly?

"Gaster wants to meet you."

* I'm not going with you anywhere so have fun with that.

She opened a portal and he stepped through. I remained unmoved.

* X!Gaster...

"The one and only. I'm glad you agreed to the deal. I wanted to go through some...terms and conditions with you."

* Go ahead, it's not as if I can run.

"Great. Now I'm guessing Bete told you about telling nobody about this?"

* Yeah, she did. Does Cross know about this?

"No. You know that your purpose in this project is to create, clone, and produce AI skeletons, correct?"

* Uh...what?

"We'll be using your magic as well as your DNA, and running a numerous amount of physical and mental tests and trials on you."

* ...How long would you have me for?

"As long as we need to."

* Yeah I get that, but I need an estimate. Days, months, years?

"Years."

* Then when will I see my child after birth-

"You won't~" Bete giggled.

"I need to talk to Ink alone."

She rolled her eyes before teleporting off.

"I'm surprised you're taking this in so calmly."

* I don't really use my vials during my pregnancy.

"But the hormones should still make you somewhat feel. Which makes me think you have a plan."

* I don't. It's kinda hard to oppose you guys with a belly like this.

"I doubt that, you still work, don't you? You still fight, monitor the timelines and get other things done all with an invisible tummy. But the weight and feeling of your baby is still there. So let me ask you this, what are you planning to do?" Gaster looked straight into my eyes.

I looked back.

* Nothing.

"I strongly suggest you quit lying to me, or I swear I'll-"
