"Rockabye baby, on the tree top...~"

"When the tree blows, the baby will rock~"

"Hush little baby don't say a word,"

"Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird."

"And if that mockingbird don't sing..."

"I won't punch it so it can keep living."

___Y/N'S POV

Glitchy...

Red...

You really are still with us, huh?

I can feel your presence within me.

Within our baby.

My eyes fluttered open and I slowly sat up. The hospital room was nearly vacant and was dark. I looked around and saw Silver asleep next to Lost, both curled up in a chair.

I smiled weakly at the sight of them but then frowned a bit.

Where's Ash...?

I vaguely remember giving birth to him.

"H-Hey... Silver?" I whispered as loud as I could and tried to wake him up. He shifted and his eyes slowly opened.

"Oh...! Y/n, you're awake!" Silver kept his voice low and quickly stood up from the chair. He walked over and I reached out for his hand.

"Where's Ash? I-I wanna see him..." I whimpered softly and intertwined our fingers. He frowned deeply and his gaze fell to the floor.

"They took him away... I barely caught a glimpse of him, but I saw why they did it." Silver squeezed my hand gently and I teared up.

"T-Tell me why...! I want my baby back!" I sniffled and hiccuped, my body trembling as I tried to picture how scared he probably was without his mother.

"Because he... he was glitching. I tried to stop them, but they protested and took him anyway. Luckily, they'll let him go with you as long as you say it's normal." Silver explained and sighed heavily.

"Then what're we waiting for? Let's go get him!" I struggled to get out of the bed but he tried to push me back down. "No, Y/n, you're too weak to stand! You almost didn't make it from how weak you were already."

I still tried to stand and slid out of the bed. When my feet touched the floor, I gasped and fell to my knees.

My legs were numb all over and I couldn't even feel the floor beneath them.

Silver quickly grabbed my waist and picked me up bridal style. "I'm so sorry... Just wait a little longer and you'll get to see Ash. I promise—"

"Excuse me? If you'd like, you can leave the hospital. We actually have your baby right here. The birth certificate wasn't made, so you have the chance to leave after it's filled out." A nurse walked in with a bundle of blankets in her arms.

"I-Is that our baby? Ash?" I looked over at the nurse and reached out for the blankets she had. Silver sighed in relief and gently sat me down on the bed.

"Here you go ma'am. I'll have him sign the birth certificate and you'll be free to leave." She handed me the blankets and I hugged them close.

"Ash... I love you so much... You look just like him." I cooed and admired the sleeping baby boy.

"His name is... Ash Rouge L/n... That has a nice ring to it... I see..." Silver muttered to himself as he filled out the birth certificate.

"Your dad is such a weirdo." I giggled softly and gave Ash light kisses.

The second my lips connected to his forehead, I felt a shock that sparked a memory within me.

A memory that wasn't mine.

"Don't keep me in the dark like this Red. I hate it... Let me come out. Let me be with my brother." Glitchy curled up in the corner of the dark space, crying in his arms.

"Why should I? All you do is hurt people! Hurt me! You KILLED our brother Glitchy! I'll never forgive you for that! For what you did to Silver!" Red was curled up on the other side of him, his back pressed against Glitchy's.

"It was an accident... I-I didn't mean to... I-I love Silver! I don't know why he did! I don't know how! I don't understand what's happening to me!" Glitchy cried out and held himself close.

"I'll make sure to avenge him because of you. I'll keep you locked in a place where you won't be able to hurt anyone anymore, Glitchy!" Red stood up and turned towards the cowardice boy opposite of him.

Glitchy looked up at Red with fear in his crimson eyes. "H-How...? Pl-Please don't hurt me... Red I didn't mean it... I didn't ask to be created like this!" He yelled but his cries fell upon deaf ears.

Red growled and clenched his fists. "No. I'll make you pay!" He tackled the glitching boy and in a last stitch effort to save himself, a Glitchy closed his eyes and let his body free.

His red and black coding seeped their way into Red's body and as a punishment for their lack of mutual bond...

They were cursed to forever live as one.

"Ash, you have... their memories...?" I was shocked and tilted my head a bit.

His eyes opened up and he started to cry. I understood why he was crying and wanted to cry with him. "Baby... It's okay. They live within you so I know you'll be a good boy." I smiled softly and cradled him.

"Y/n! I got everything ready for us to go. Oh... Why is Ash crying?" Silver sat down beside me and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"He's just happy, y'know? Those small tears of joy." I giggled softly and rocked Ash back and forth. "Ah, I see. You're probably right." Silver laughed softly and lifted me up in his arms.

"Well, he'll experience the virtual life for the first time."

"Um, Silver, I don't think that's a good idea...!"

"Haha, too late... Oops!"

The bright light nearly blinded me but I shielded our crying baby from the view. It still scared me each time we traveled through some type of device, but it was the most efficient way to do so.

But Ash...

Why do you have their memories...?

I still want to know...

Are there fragments of Glitchy within you?
