NO POV

A little bit later, the bath was done and Reaper was drying each of the kids off with a towel, smiling and soaking up their adorable giggles and smiles. Goth crawls the closest to him, feeling safe wherever he hears Reaper and cuddling against his wings. He picks them up, carrying them into the bedroom to get them changed and humming a tune for them. Once they're dressed, he hears a beeping sound. He recognizes it as a sign of Error rebooting. He sets the kids in the cribs Error made with his strings, then place baby bottles full of milk in each of their mouths.

"Stay here and enjoy that. I'll be right back..."He says

Once seeing that none of them are moving, he goes down to the basement and his jaw hangs open at the sight of Error.

"Glitchy...."He says

*REBOOT COMPLETE*

I smile at him as he wakes up, gently scooping his smaller body from the ground. He glances up at me with big, round eyes full of glitching sparks.

He is an adorable little baby now in oversized clothing.

"ReeEEeeaAa?"He says

Reaper found it so cute that his soul was ready to leave his body and go up to heaven or whatever afterlife there is in the multiverse. Then he recollects himself with the conclusion that today is officially the best day ever. Then it sinks in that he now has FIVE BABIES to take care of when he has hardly any prior experience. And the only one that could give him or had the experience already just turned into a baby as well.

.....Shit.

He carries Error upstairs and sets him in a blanket. He gets Error a bottle of chocolate milk, which he eagerly starts sipping. He glances at the five of them and feels like he's going to die from their cuteness.....He needs help.

"Okay...All of you are safe here. Comfy? Good. Now please just stay here while I go check on a few things. Ok?"He says, putting UnderNovela on as a distraction

Each of them nod in agreement and Reaper zips out the door into a portal to hunt down some help.

Only problem is...He left them unsupervised...

He finds his brother who facepalms once hearing the situation and the problem at hand.

"Fate is really testing you huh?"He says

Reaper nods.

"They're so cute Paps! But Glitchy was the one with all the experience! How do I take care of them?"Reaper asks

"Who is with them right now?"

Before he could answer, Reaper gets a call from Nightmare which he quickly answers.

"Hello?"

"How is the sleepover going? Is my nephew enjoying himself?"Nightmare asks as he fills out paperwork

Shit....Reaper completely forgot that Nightmare would be calling.

"Well....He isn't NOT enjoying himself. I don't think so at least."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well ya know how my daughter experiments in the basement and has been trying to reverse what Gaster did?"He says

"Yeeeeaaaaa?"

"Well it backfired and turned them all into babies. He's not hurt, just a little baby in a crib of strings now! I cleaned the chemicals from the blast off of him! But hey, he isn't the size of a pencil anymore!"

"Who exactly got turned into a baby?"

"Hmmm, all my kids, Palette, and Glitchy. I'm getting advice from my brother right now on how to handle it. Glitchy's code is running to see what went wrong and Goth taught me how to read it so there should be a solution soon."He says, trying to reassure Nightmare.

"Who is supervising them right now?"

"I left them with milk and UnderNovela wrapped in blankets."

"Who is with them?"

"..."

"Reaper, please tell me that you didn't leave a baby destroyer, a baby form of each of your kids and my nephew home alone without supervision and thought that it would end well."

"....They said they'd stay while I went to get advice...."He says

Both Paps and Nightmare facepalm.

"And how did they do that? Goo goo gaagaaa?"

"No, they nodded. It's still them, just as babies. Surely I can trust them."

"Reaper, your boyfriend is an AU destroyer and your kids are strong enough to scare even Fate with their power. My nephew can bring stuff to life with his paint. What part of any of that doesn't concern you now that they're babies?"

Then it clicks for Reaper and he hangs up on Nightmare. Nightmare sighs, calling Horror to inform him on what he just learned. What do expect? It's Nightmare. Of course he is going to snitch on Reaper.

Reaper zips back home with his brother to find four of them aren't where he left them. Goth is the only one that remains, happily listening to the UnderNovela show Reaper left on and finding it soothing since he recalls Error watching it so much and if he can't see it, he can hear it with the comfort that his family is nearby. Palette had climbed out of the crib and is currently standing on the edge of his roller like a ladder to put the bottle of milk in the microwave. He claps happily when he actually gets it set for a minute. Once it finishes he takes it and eagerly returns to Goth, giving it to him with a bright smile. Strings hang from the ceiling, leading upstairs and Shino is caught hanging from a string trying to unlock the door to the basement. Raven is sitting on the ground, toying with his scythe and teething on the blade of it while Error is nowhere in sight, his oversized clothes left in the middle of the living room.

Paps glares at his brother who stares in shock at the scene.

"I was gone for five minutes!"

"That's when most chaos happens! Never turn your back on babies for a second!"Paps says

Reaper takes Raven's scythe away and replaces it with a circular rattle, which Raven mistakes for a cookie to bite on. Reaper places him back in the crib made for him and moves Palette's crib beside Goth's so that he isn't daring enough to try any tricks to reach Goth. That makes three happy babies and he takes a picture of them for the sake of memories, still finding them cute. Paps quickly takes the extra strings down and cleans up the mess, including the abandoned clothes.

Now comes the last two, one who has not shown himself.

Reaper pries Shino off of the basement door and feeds her a cookie before she could cry her complaints.

"Shino, you're not going down there. It's still messy and we need to fix this. We don't want to worsen the issue. Now, where did your dad sneak off?"He asks

"Hmmm...."Shino hums, pretending to think.

Then she puts her hand out to Reaper.

"You're going to show me?"

"Nuh-uh."

He quickly catches onto what she means.

"You little stinker."He chuckles

"Paaaeee uuuh."

He sighs, handing her balls of yarn.

"SANS!"

"Relax, this is normal. She sells info for more crafting supplies."He says

He looks at Shino smiling at her payment.

"So?"He says to prompt her answer

She giggles, pointing to the bedroom at the end of the hall before flying back into her crib. Paps watches over the four while Reaper goes upstairs to find Error. He checks the bedroom, finding that it's empty. He frowns, starting to question Shino's tip when noises erupt from the closet. Then his closet door opens and Error tumbles out of it, wearing one of Reaper's cloaks that is certainly way too big on him. The hood dips over his face and the sleeves droop over his hands. He hears Error groan for a moment before sitting up and checking his sleeves. He giggles and tries to crawl across the ground as the cloak trails behind him.

"Glitchy? What are you doing?"

"Oh! Ya bAcK!"He says, trying to look up at Reaper but can't see past the hood over his face.

"Yep. What happened to staying with UnderNovela?"

Error shrugs, then lifts his arms up.

"ReEeAPAa!"

Reaper takes a picture at the cute sight of him.

"Let's get you in some proper clothes, Glitchy. I think those are too big on you."

"No!"He snaps, his smile fading as he pouts.

"No? And why not?"Reaper asks, bending down

"CoMfEeE....BiG....nIc3ee..."He says, squeezing the sleeves.

"But wouldn't you like something that isn't hanging off of you?"

"No! DiS!"

"But maybe something smaller-"

"NO!"

Reaper picks him up and Error frowns, thinking that he's going to change his clothes. But Reaper sighs.

"Okay, you can keep it on."He says

"YaaAaAy!"

"Glitchy, you're gonna kill me at this rate."

"No0oo....Nuh uH...."

"You don't think so?"

"I wUv y0u t0oo0o mUcH."He coos

"Awww, Glitchy.~"

Reaper kisses him gently on the head. Then there's a knock at the door and Reaper carries Error to answer it, finding Horror at the door.

"I'm here to help with meals and stuff since Error can't."He says

Reaper nods, letting him inside. Horror glances around and smiles.

"Wow, this place is a lot less messy than what I expected with you handling all five of them..It isn't burning either. Good job."He says before going into the kitchen.

Reaper sighs with relief and follows him, ready for some guidance.
