The soul monitor started beeping faster, the soul rates rising more and more. Alphys scrambled out of her chair towards the machine to try and regulate the pulses. Her own breathing started to get fast when the machine refused to do anything to help the injured, sleeping skeleton. Maybe it was because she extracted the determination. At least he wasn't melting...

"No! I can't let him die!" Alphys screamed.

She hadn't slept for a while now and was trying to figure out what to do. Then the rapid beeping stopped to flatline across the screen. The beating of his soul had stopped all together and she stared at the machine. Her eyes were wide with fear. She couldn't even save one monster... She failed... again... she disappointed everyone... They were all counting on her to help send Kris home. To store the determination, and help he faltering timeline. And she failed, and let everyone down again....

"Where the hell am I?" A rough voice said behind her.

She turned around to see that Gaster had taken out the cords connecting to his soul. That's why the monitors stopped. Her tear streaked face lifted as she smiled. He didn't die! He's awake! She wiped away her tears and told him what happened and that he was at the hospital at the end of town.

"Where the hell is Chara?" Gaster asked, placing the cords on the hospital bed as he stood up.

"At home, but maybe you should lay down for a minute!" Alphys told him. "Your magic is unstable and your skull hasn't fully healed yet."

"I'll do what I want" And with that, he was gone in a purple flash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you mean, 'I'm pregnant'?!" Asriel screamed, almost waking up Toriel, Asgore, Kris, and Susie from down the hall.

"I mean I have a child inside me, Asriel!" Chara screamed back.

"I know what pregnancy is!" He sighed and stayed silent for a second, lowering his voice. "So.. you're saying you're pregnant with my interbreed..?"

She nodded, fully realizing what this meant. The child could be a human or a monster. Monster-human interbreeds have some of the strongest magic because of the strength of the human part of their soul, and heal and grow really fast because of their monster magic. Human-monster interbreeds are much more common. They don't grow nearly as fast, but it is faster than regular human growth. Some human-monster interbreeds can use magic, or learn how, but most don't have any magic at all. Both types can have physical monster looking traits. For example, flames as hair, tails, second pair of ears, and even just their hair colour and skin tone.

"I'm so sorry.." Chara said, placing her face in her hands, eyes tearing up. "I-I... I took your immortality..."

"So? I didn't want to live in a world where I have to watch you die again." Asriel said. "I don't want to live forever without you in my life. My parents gave up their immortality too... So did Sans, Grillby, and a bunch of other monsters."

She looked up at him.

"I don't want to be alone... especially if you're not here with me..." He continued. "I love you so much... a-and.. I know we can take care of the baby... together."

Chara's breathing hitched as she leaned in and hugged him tightly. This is what she wanted as a child. A whole family... one where she had a father... and a loving mother... She could give that to her child... She could give them something that she didn't have until late in her life.

"How could you be so stupid, Chara?!" Someone screamed at them.

They broke apart and stared at Gaster' rage filled expression. Chara stood up and looked at him, mirroring his face. Asriel held onto Chara's hand and glared at the tall skeleton.

"So you're awake, and the first thing you do is criticize me?!" Chara said harshly.

"Your son is a human! This is going to destroy the timeline! Don't you understand?!" Gaster shouted. "I'm so sick of you humans messing up everything!"

Chara's eyes narrowed. How DARE he even say that about you and her. It's not her fault she's pregnant! Well... It kinda was, but how was she supposed to guess that something so rare was going to happen to her?!

"You have no right to tell us what to do when you didn't even look after your own sons!" Chara shouted. "And yeah! Papyrus and Sans, told Frisk and I that a while ago, y'know when you tried to kill Frisk and Fran!"

Gasters eyes began to glow as he narrowed his eyes. Chara's beginning to do the same as kitchen knives flew beside her. Then they stood and looked at each other for a few seconds, about half a dozen knives in the air as they stared the other down.

"Chara. Calm down. Please..." Asriel placed a paw onto her shoulder, but she just kept staring at the skeleton.

"You don't know what it's like to be abandoned, so don't you DARE try and make me abandon my kid." Chara said harshly towards Gaster.

He took a step back as a red hue began to glow around the knives. Chara's eyes turned completely black, and they began to drip. Gaster stopped his flow of magic to try and calm her down, but she used the leverage over him to fling a knife towards him. Gaster's clothes got cut by the oncoming blade, but it missed his body.

"Chara! Stop!" Asriel screamed.

The bedroom doors opened down the hall as Asgore, Toriel, and Susie ran towards the living room. They all were about to ask what was going on , but there was no need when they saw Chara's eyes and mouth leaking with black liquid. Chara's speech was almost incoherent as she spoke through the tar like liquid.

"You're NEVER going to control Asriel ever again. Don't even try it." She said.

"Princess... I only came here to talk. There's no need to fight." Gaster held up his hands as he spoke.

"You're a LIAR!" She screamed. "You tried to attack me first."

He sighed and turned on his magic again to defend himself and the monsters behind him. Asriel on the other hand was desperately trying to calm Chara down by holding onto her shoulders.

Chara flung more knives in Gaster's direction and Asriel began to hug her, slowly and cautiously easing his way in front of her. He looked down to her and buried his face into her neck. Chara screamed and made knives fly in all directions as the determination was fighting being drained. She stopped moving.

...

He stopped moving.

...

Then the smell of dust...
