Ink POV
  "Can I feel the baby?" Blue asked.
"Sure." I replied.
"Be careful." Error said, holding me protectively.
"Oh please what's he gonna do?" Dream asked rolling his eyes.
Error reluctantly let me go. Blue carefully put his hand on the tiny soul of the baby.
I could tell Error was a bit uncomfortable with it but he didn't say anything. Blue seemed a bit confused and went back by Dream.
I guess that was it. We kind of just moved onto another topic. Error seemed really tired. I got up and he watched me.
I think scared. I don't think he expected me to move. He followed me.
"Did Blue make you uncomfortable?" I asked, searching for my sketchbook.
"A little. But, you said it was ok so I tried not to say anything."
I smiled at him. He hugged me and we laid in bed together. It was nice. I had been having trouble sleeping recently.
I think I need to start moving more. I then realized Error was being very cautious around the soul.
I turned to face him. He kissed me. I giggled and just hugged him. I then remember I hadn't checked his arms since... since he tried to... anyway, I asked if I could. He was hesitant but showed me.
There were... so many more. I didn't think that was possible but he managed it. And the bad thing is, I don't know what he's using.
Therefore I cannot take it away. And therefore, I cannot protect him properly.
And that bothers me. It really does. I tried my best to stay calm. Not cry. I still did. I could tell, just by how much he was shaking that he was afraid.
"P-please, I-ink i... I'm... im sorry I just..."
"Don't say you're sorry. Because clearly if this keeps happening you aren't." I said.
He hugged me.
"I don't wanna start an argument... but please just consider a therapist because I really don't know what to do."
He just held me. I know he's upset. I know he's afraid. I know I shouldn't be bringing this up.
I also know I don't want to loose him. Ever since he tried to... to die I've been horrified to leave him alone. I don't want him to die.
And technically I would be able to live without him but I don't want to. It'd be hard and I'd miss him.
I often imagine what it'd be like and that always results in tears and is probably the reason I can't sleep.
I wonder if Dream and Blue would understand. Speaking of which, Blue walked in on both of us crying and holding each other.
"Oh stars what happened!?" He asked.
"Nothing Blue, we were just talking." I replied.
He nodded.
"Well, ink can I talk to you for a second, Uh, preferably alone?" He asked.
I looked to Error. I don't think he was listening. He was still shaking and he was looking down at his arms I couldn't tell if he was crying.
"Blue can it wait?"
"Y-yeah. Of course."
I held Error's hand and used my other to have him look at me.
"Hey, hey, it's ok. I'm sorry. I didn't wanna scare you. I'm here for you." I said in a soothing tone.
Soon enough he had calmed down. After that, we laid in bed and he held me close to him. Honestly I was a bit upset but I was also to tired to say anything to him.
  If that's really how he feels, fine. I won't interfere.
