"In the bathroom, hurry!"

"We need warm water and lots of towels!"

"They're in the bathroom, there's warm water and towels in there already!"

"Does anyone have medical experience other than E.J.?!?"

I was rushing around the mansion with everyone else, trying to prepare for the arrival of my child. (Y/n) had just gone into labor, and no one was prepared. No one at all. You couldn't tell one voice from the other, every sound was merged into one. Everyone crowded around the bathroom to try and see what was going on, but it didn't work. "EVERYONE OUT OF THE WAY," Slenderman shouted, seeming even more frazzled and excited than anyone else in the mansion.

He shoved through everyone, HookRose and ChainRose in hand. The two 18-year-olds didn't have any kids, but they've spent a lot of their time helping (y/n) through the pregnancy because no one knew how to take care of a pregnant woman. At the moment, I was at the back of the crowd, unable to follow Slenderman through to reach my (y/n) and my soon-to-be newborn child. "Let me through," I kept shouting, but no one moved to let me through.

Defeated, I waddled back away from the crowd and plopped down on the couch. I put my head in my hands and sighed. The biggest event in my life was happening right now, and I wasn't there to see it happen.

Feeling someone plop down next to me I turned my head to see Ben. "What do you want?" I asked him, sounding more dead-beat than I wanted. "What are you doing out here?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. "Your girl's in there having your baby!"

"I can't get through the crowd," I grumbled, waving my hand at the pulsing group of people. Pulling on my hair a bit, I turned away from him.

Ben moved to sit in front of me, saying, "So do you plan on raising the baby here?" I stared at him, realizing I didn't plan ahead for this. Would I? Did I want my child to be a cold-blooded killer? I simply shrugged, burying my head in my lap. I don't know.

"Well, me and Slender were talking earlier, and he said he's willing to let you and (y/n) move out with the baby," Ben chirped, smiling brightly. I pulled on my hair more, suddenly hearing a loud cheering from the group gathered by the bathroom. Shooting out of my seat with a speed I never thought I'd reach, I bolted through the crowd and into the bathroom. (Y/n) was in the bath tub, a little baby girl in her arms no more than a foot in size. It was all I could do not to collapse in awe, the sight of my baby girl making me weak in the knees. Slender's hand rested on my shoulder, grasping it to keep me standing.

(y/n) smiled up at me, looking weary but a sparkle in her eyes. "What do we name her?" she asked me. I was once again taken off guard, suddenly remembering the name of my Proxy partner back in that one reality. Mist. She was just like me in so many ways, and since I destroyed her from existence, I may as well name my child after her. "Mist," I whispered, smiling back at her. Kneeling next to the bathtub, I gently wrapped the two of them in a hug. Nothing could describe how happy I was right now. Nodding in agreement, (y/n) repeated, Yeah. Mist. I like that name."

Smiling, I picked her up bridal style out of the bath tub. Slender put a soft blanket over her and Mist as I carried her out the door. Everyone went silent in an instant, giving me thumbs up and pats on the shoulder as I made my way up to our room. Sitting her on the bed, I put my hand together. "I'll be right back," I promised her, my smile growing wider as I went to talk to Slenderman.

(You)

You watch Masky leave, looking down at your baby and cooing. Mist was fast asleep, curled up in your arms peacefully. "Little Mist," you coo, gently nuzzling her as you began to rock side to side. "I gave birth to you, you know that?" you whisper, talking to your sleeping child as if she understood every word. "I'll love you always, and I'll make sure nothing will ever happen to you." Tears of joy welled up in your eyes, and a small yawn escaped your mouth. After giving birth, you wanted to get a small nap in.

(Masky)

"You and (y/n) can move out whenever you feel like it," Slender said calmly, a smile on his blank face. Everyone seemed to be cheerful now.

"Promise not to have anyone stalk us?" I asked, narrowing my eyes but keeping my smile. He nodded, dragging his finger across his heart. Satisfied, I walked back up to my room. When I opened my door, I saw (y/n) asleep on the bed with Mist in her arms. I wasn't going to lose Mist. Not like I nearly lost (y/n).
