A few weeks later, Error's POV

I groan softly as the first rays of sunlight shine through the window, shifting to try to block it out and sleep more. I feel two arms wrap around me gently and a kiss on my head. I open my eye, seeing Reaper smiling at me. I smile back at him sleepily, recalling how we fell asleep cuddling in bed. We recently took the next step in our relationship by sharing a bed and room together after proving that I won't crash in this situation. I have it under enough control now to be more intimate with him like this.

"It's so nice to see your smiling face again."He says

I smile, kissing his cheek. I spent the last week working on his code to fix his vision and it finally worked. He is very happy to see people instead of just souls again.

"RiGhT...Not just tHat yOu wErE tiReD of wAlKinG iNtO wAlLs?"I ask

"That too. I could see souls but not what was in the way of getting to them."He says

I chuckle, knowing plenty of times it was my soul that he was trying to reach.

"Oh hush, I've seen you bump into stuff when you sleepwalk."He says

"So wE'rE eVeN."I say

"Why do you always put on one of my cloaks when you sleepwalk?"He asks

"WhY d0 yOu wEaR mY jAcKeT wHeN I'm nOt hOmE?"I ask

"How do you know?"He asks, his face burning up

"YoU fOrGeT whO w3 lIvE witH."I say, grabbing my phone to show him pictures that the kids sent me.

I chuckle at the look on his face that all three of our kids snitched on him to me, sending pictures of him going around the house in my jacket or scarf.

"Why those little-"He begins

BOOM! BANGx4

"What was that?"He asks, glancing around as smoke leaks into our room

"SoUndS like iT came fRoM tHe bAs3mE-SHINO!"I say, coming to the realization and scrambling out of bed as I spoke.

I run down the hall to the basement door where smoke is pouring out and quickly get downstairs, fanning it out to find her lab set in pieces and leaking, shards or bits burning chemicals. I stomp it out before it gets worse, glancing around to find her. She has been trying to find a solution for her brothers and Palette to undo Goth's blindness or their small size. I told her to take a break! Did she seriously start testing this early again? I clean things up and finally the mess cleared up for me to see the state of things. Then I sigh, shaking my head at who I find.

Looks like her tests backfired....But they did return to normal size.

"Is she okay, Glitchy? I'll get the first aid kit!"Reaper calls from upstairs

"THaT wOn'T bE nEeDeD. BuT wE wiLl nEeD sTuFf fR0m th3 aTtIc."I say

"But we only have baby stuff in the attic."He says

"I'm aWArE."I say, picking Goth and Raven up carefully, wiping the chemicals off of them.

I see Shino sitting with the lab goggles and Palette is sleeping in a corner, curled up on a dusty pillow. I sigh, shaking my head and use my strings to pick them up and bring them closer. They start crying a bit but I hush them, reassuring them.

"It's oKaY. I gOt yOu. YoU'rE oKaY."I whisper to them

They each cling onto me and I smile, carrying them upstairs. I see Reaper's eyes turn into hearts at the sight of the kids.

"ShInO's tEsT bAcKfiReD aS fAr aS iT sEeMs."I say

"And it turned them into babies?"He asks

I nod and he grins, taking Goth and Shino from me carefully. I smile as Raven and Palette doze in my arms. He looks so excited, already swaddling them in blankets with a big smile. I know why he may be acting this way. This mistake gives him a chance to make up for the precious time he lost with them. Especially Goth. He gets to have moments with them as if he is raising them again. And watching him handle this is simply adorable, especially since Goth refused to let him go and he seems to be loving it. Once he managed to get Goth to rest, he zips up to the attic. He quickly brings the stuff down from bibs to high chairs and stuff, everything he could. Then he pops his head out again, looking confused.

"I don't see any cribs up here. Did we get rid of them?"He asks

"I dOn'T tHiNk wE hAd cRiBs."I say with a smirk

"What did you use to keep Goth in then?"He asks

I snap my fingers with a grin as my strings hook onto the ceiling, making cocoon-shaped cribs and tugging pillows or blankets for comfort. He glances at me in shocked awe and I grin.

"UsUaLlY jUsT mAdE thAt. MAdE hiDiNg hIm fRoM iNtRuDerS of tHe aNtiVoId eAsiEr."I say, making four of them for each kid.

Then I feel some stinging on my arm. I shift Palette, seeing that he was still covered in the chemicals that now burned through my sleeve to my arm. I shake my head and I see that it's the same case for Raven. They were both curled up in balls so I didn't see where the chemicals got them.

"OkAy...I thInk iT's bAtH tImE."I say

Palette's eyes snap open and he starts giggling. Shino and Goth also wake up when I say that and I chuckle, knowing how they like their baths. Raven is obviously pretending to stay asleep in my arms though. I carry them upstairs as Shino already is flying beside me with Goth in her hugging arms. Reaper chuckles, catching them before they drop and we go to get the bath ready. I set them down and take Shino's goggles off as she giggles, already taking her clothes off with her gaze on the tub. Raven reveals that he's awake and reluctantly gets into the tub after we undress each of them. Palette holds Goth's hand to make sure he doesn't slip blindly, still unable to see. I chuckle as they settle into the tub, playing with the bubbles. I glance at Reaper, seeing that he's loving every second of this.

"YoU'Re lOvInG tHiS, aRen'T yOu?"I ask

"They're adorable! How can I not?"He says

I chuckle, shaking my head.

"WeLl tHeN yOu cOuLd bAtHe them wHiLe I tRy tO sEe wHaT wEnT wRonG iN tHe bAseMENt."I say

He just nods, getting the soap ready and already making silly faces to make the kids laugh. Part of me wonders if he was even listening but I shrug it off, letting him enjoy himself.

I go to the basement and find chemicals or glass and parts of the table splashed on every wall and the spot where her lab sets were looks like lightning struck the ground. I start having code screens analyze what remains of the chemicals and the tools she was using, then feel more stinging pain in my arms. I see that the chemicals that were on Raven and Palette are burning into my bones before settling. Then my vision blurs with error signs as my glitching picks up due to the pain and before I knew it, I crashed.

Little did we know how much Reaper would get to enjoy parenting today.
