Reborn as a baby Xtale Gaster

Gaster POV
I exhaled as I watched the body thief pout in Papyrus's arms both internally cursing me out though the body thief was much more rude. I watched bored as everyone continued to talk. I hardly bothered to listen when something caught my eye. What's wrong with my right hand! I stormed over and saw that the distal phalange of my pinkie finger was just gone.  What even happened?  I jumped back as they looked up at me.  Those eyes were creepy looking two sizes too big and their eye lights four.  It honestly reminded me of googly eyes and with how pale they were; the moon.  Luckily however they failed to notice me.  However they can hear me.  That was interesting.  A few hours passed as they discussed what to do.  Finally they decided to basically just file it away and move on as if nothing happened.  Papyrus walked to the body thief's room and he turned on the light.  The walls were a light purple with star stickers stuck everywhere.  The room was shockingly clean.  And looked like they had began to pack up or unpacking from something.  They spoke to each other for a few seconds before Papyrus tucked the parasite into the bed. I sat down on the bed and Papyrus unintentionally sat down next to me. I blinked as he took out a pair of glasses, thin silver wireframe glasses, the exact opposite of my old ones. Papyrus smiled as he opened a children's book. I didn't read the title or bother to listen.  It was all rather boring.

Gaster POV
I yawned stretching as I got up.  I blinked seeing the figure seemingly asleep on the bed just sitting there.  I couldn't feel their weight so it wasn't anyone.  I sat up and saw it was Gaster.  I blinked and sat on the bed cross legged.  He was seemingly asleep.  "Why are you here?"  He immediately woke up and turned towards me.  "Oh the body thief is awake."  Oh immediately insulted.  I blinked.  "You think I want to have my life constantly threatened because of you?  No.  I just woke up as a baby in this body."  Dr. Gaster rolled his eyes clearly annoyed as he began to fade.  "Well I didn't invite you to take over my body."  I glared at Gaster before I got up and walked over to the door and walked out.  Making sure to leave Dr. Gaster sitting in the dark.  I walked to the kitchen silently planning to grab the chocolate orange Papyrus had gotten me a week earlier.  Torial blinked as she turned around to see me.

"Gaster what's wrong you look stressed?"  She kneeled down before I replied.  "I saw him again... we spoke too.  He called me a body thief but I don't think I stole it."  And I didn't.  I was forced into this body and was perfectly happy not existing!  Torial blinked in shock as she scooped me up.  Worry was evidently written across her face.  "Let's just put you back to bed and let us adults talk."  I nodded as Torial scooped me up and briskly walked to my room.  She stopped at the door and looked around my room.  Not seeing Dr. Gaster she walked in and tucked me in tightly.  I rolled over so I was face down on the pillow and I closed my eyes.  She was sitting where Papyrus always sits.  It was comfortable.

Torial POV
I watched as Baby Gaster fell asleep or began to fall asleep.  It was sad how much he struggled to sleep at all.  He was completely innocent yet why did he always have to suffer because of the doctor.  I closed my eyes sighing "Why did you have to do all of this.  We were happy that first timeline, why weren't you?"  I slowly got up ready to tell the others that they had already seen Gaster again.  Even spoken to him.  I slowly walked out of the room feeling as if I was being watched, I turned around feeling as if I saw Dr. Gaster's eyes.  But I couldn't have.  I quickly walked out of the room feeling freaked out.  Eventually I sat down on the living room love seat after I grabbed a book.  It was one that Baby Gaster insisted I got for Gyftmas last year according to Papyrus.  Apparently certain snails could contain deadly parasites.  The book itself was titled '103 ways to cook snails safely'. I feel a bit sad that I didn't notice how much personality Baby Gaster had in the early days, he rarely cried if at all unless it was for someone else, in fact he rarely even laughed.  I personally was more focused on how eerily quiet he was and how you wouldn't even notice him staring at you.  I thought Gaster was plotting to Overwrite us all away in those first few months.  I exhaled wondering why baby Gaster was just so quiet.  Alphys once said that if left alone or not interacting with anyone he would just fall silent and lose himself in thought, a documentary or a book.  Azzy certainly wasn't like that, he was an ocean of energy and noise.  I slowly opened the book deciding to distract myself from all of these questions.

Hours passed and I found myself unable to focus.  The orange soul within Gaster's was bothering me.  So I stood up and walked over to Gaster's room when I heard a voice.  It was Baby Gaster's.  I looked into the room and saw that Gaster was awake and sitting above the covers.

"Oh you're back." 

"No I can't do that... why do I see you after I wake up?" 

"What's soul sin-crow-nation?  ...Why can't I speak."

"Does that mean that I'll see you more as I get older?"

"Alrighty!"  Baby Gaster said something after that but I couldn't make it out as the next thing he said made my soul skip a beat.

"What do you mean someone is listening in?"

"Queen Torial?"

I immediately walked away from the door wondering what could baby Gaster have agreed to.  If it involved Dr. Gaster it can't be good, he's a manipulative narcissist.  I can't believe that man was the royal scientist and held in such high esteem before all of this.  Or during all of this.  I need to talk to someone.  Chara and Frisk know Dr. Gaster best.  I walked upstairs and bumped into Chara.  He blinked as he saw I was in distress.  "Mom what's wrong?"
