Refresh: Extras

Goth?

   I was bubbling with excitement. I couldn't wait to tell everyone. A baby! Of my own!

   Of course Reaper was the first to know. The father deserves to know first! We had been trying for a while anyway so this was a good sign!

   Morang was the next to know. She was 10 and getting a baby sibling. This was a big deal. She eas excited about it though! Morang was always such a sweet girl. It was such a shame to find out her mother passed away in that accident on vacation. . . Morang had been devestated.

   Sugar found out by accident. I was babbling across the phon by accident and happened to let it slip. Oopsie. Oh well. One less person go worry about.

   We told Grim next. Reaper and Grim had built a somewhat rocky relationship. They talked but they weren't close. Reaper wasn't to happy with his family situation still.

   Now came the hard part. My family. I wasn't worried about mom really. Or Asy to be honest. It was Error and Fresh.

   Christmas was the perfect chance. Everyone was there! Mom, Asy, Fresh and Error and Club and Heart, and of course Jessie, Com Ink and Dream, even Decans. Sugar couldn't make it this year. That's alright. He already knew.

   I hummed and cleared my throat tapping on my plate. "Hey guys?"

   The chatter stopped. I very nearly stopped the oncoming food fight between Ink and Error. Whew. Perfect timing.

   "I have a very special announcement!" I grinned. "Reaper and I are having a baby."

   "WHAT!?" Error shrieked.

   Fresh got this. . . murderous look in his eye. Oh boy. I knew this was coming.

   "Really!? Oh that's great Geno!!!" Mom was excited as expected.

  Asy pat my back. "Im so excited for you kiddo!"

   "Thats great!! Are you excited!? I bet youre excited!" Heart certainly seemed excited.

   Club and Decans attempted to keep Fresh in his seat.

   "A new baby cousin!?" Jessie was also excited. He loved kids.

   Ink smirked. "Hi 'having a baby' we're 'having a baby too!'"

   "Ink!" Dream squealed with a blushing face.

   "WHAT!?" Error shrieked again.

   All in all the night went exactly how I expected!

   It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Goth, we had decided on the name as soon as we found out it was a boy, was a very calm baby.

   When the due date came Goth didn't make much of a fuss either! It was an easy delivery. However. . . it was not painless.

   Goth was so small. Smaller than Morang was. He had tiny little hands and feet. His one little eyelight was a pale prick until his magic learned to focus better.

   "He looks like you." Reaper ticked his chin.

   I gave a soft laugh. "No. He looks like you."

   "He looked like both of you! Now can I hold him pleaseeeeee!?" Morang was very desperate to hold her brother.

   I laughed softly. "Sure sweetie. Support his head." This wouldn't be so bad. This was my second baby to raise. Our baby. He'd be a good son. . .
