Error stood next to Ink.
His eyes fixed on the blank empty space in front of them.
Every nerve in his body was tense.
Any doubt he had before bubbled in his mind.

What if Killer didn't tell them?
What if Cross never shows up?
What if Colors hurt?
What if....
....What if his baby's dead....

...No...

No he couldn't think that way.

Killer did tell them.
Cross will show up.
And his baby's fine.

Everything's fine.

Error closed his eyes for a moment, taking In a low breath.
His arms hugged around his chest to stop himself from shaking.

He thought back, back before all this and even a few years farther.

Back to the day Color came into the world.

Yeah it hurt like hell on Errors end but it was worth the hours of painful labor.

He remembered the wave of relief after the final push.

Then the small cry...

His maternal instincts took over, screaming at him to comfort and protect his new born.
Thankfully berry was there to keep him from hurting himself.

After Undyn cleaned him off and wrapped him in a warm blanket she attempted to hand him to Error.
But Error refused.
He was terrified of hurting the small bundle.
And after a hour of reinsurance, he was finally convinced nothing would happen.

Looking down at the tiny skele in his arms made him feel so big and unworthy to hold something so precious.
And his eyes. His eyes were so big; full of strength and beauty.

But worry took over a few hours after his birth.
He refused to take a bottle.
Error even tried forming breast to feed him.
But he still refused.

Undyn quickly looked into the matter while Error flipped out about his new born starving to death.
Soon Undyn came back with a rather logical answer.

He, of course, was part parasite.
He didn't need to possess other people like his other father though. He wasn't that kind.
But he did need to feed.
And Undyn confirmed he was doing exactly that.
Little by little as he laid in Errors arms he slowly drained energy and magic from his fathers soul.
Nothing deadly, but it did make Error slightly tired.

After a year he started to take solid magic; regular baby food and formula.

The power is still there.
He can still drain others of there energy, even if it's not on purpose.

Error smiled slightly going forward in his memory to Colors first birthday.

Berry had visited that day, dropping off a small gift before having to leave.

Error had tried making a cake, only to have the microwave catch fire and the sink clog up with flower and egg shells.
Yeah... not needing to eat kinda meant he never bothered learning to cook.

But all the same everything ended up a-ok!

Color didn't really care that day. He was to busy teething on the rattle he had gotten in Berrys gift.

Color... he was just something else.

Error hadn't even noticed he was crying until a soft hand wiped the tears away.

He turned to Ink, sniffling pathetically.

"It's ok... once Cross shows up we'll-"
Ink had begun but was shortly cut off by a opening portal.

Cross stepped through.

But none of the three children were with him.
