How are the babies doing boys? Any news? Updates? How's being a father? Enjoying your families? Has your children said any words yet??

He looked up with a blink of tired sockets, a bemused grin crossing his face as he cradled his bundled daughter close, the skele-guppy freshly bathed, and chewing sleepily on her father’s bony fingers.
‘whoa there pal.. feelin’ a lil’ bit rattled? heh.’
He glanced back down to Calluna, leaning down to press a soft kiss into her damp hair, prompting a few twitches of small, bony fins while she yawned, nestling more into the towel.
‘well, she’s startin’ ta’ get on solid foods, heh.. not includin’ my fingers of course, that’s just an occasional snack. dyne’s doin’ fine, just tired workin’ her summer job, on top of shifts at the gym.. and paps has been helpin’ out tori with summer school, makin’ sure the kids keep hydrated, an’ get their snackage, heh.. he loves it.’
Shifting the sleepy baby to his other arm, he unbuttoned her freshly laundered onesie to help her into for sleep, much to the drowsy infant’s displeasure, voiced through her grumpy whines.
‘lulu’s still a bit young ta’ be talkin’.. but she’s definitely developed her own little language, we’re gettin’ pretty good at interpretin’ it.. less’ we get an earful. still not walkin’ either, but she.. more than makes up for it with the shortcuts, that’s why we’re gettin’ such a late start on the bedtime routine, took dyne’ and i on a wild goose chase through the park today, she didn’t want ta’ go.. an’ it took a while ta’ wear her out enough ta’ catch her. was past dark by the time we all got home.’
Snapping the buttons back in place, he scooped up his newly dressed child, chuckling and kissing her head again as she settled, carrying her back to her crib to put her down for the night.

The newest father meanwhile, looked to be asleep on his feet, his teensy newborn little more than a bundle of blanket, only the tips of little twitchy fins visible as she pressed close to his chest, quietly latched to bone.
The exhausted scientist startled awake with a blink of hazy blue eyelights, shaking his head as if to clear away the sleepiness, delicately moving a fold of blanket so as to show the tiny guppy, a sleepy, but proud quirk to his usual grin.

“Melody’s perfect, she’s a very quiet baby, at least for now. Think it’ll be a while before we know whether she inherited my level of energy, mweh heh.. not too much mischief she can get up to, when she’s still so dependent on us.”
His voice was much softer than usual, the lump of blanket behind him making it obvious that his wife was still sound asleep, the skeleton settled against the end of the bed with his daughter, attending to her as quietly as possible.
“There was a bit of worry at first, because she didn’t take to soul feeding right away.. but as you can see, she’s got it down to a science now, mweh.”
He lovingly rubbed a thumb over the newborn’s sleep-fluffed hair, the smallest glow of magic passing between them as she fed, still visibly latched to his partially exposed rib-cage.

“Think she was just a little confused, seeing as she’d first tried to feed from her uncle. Poor Sunny, ehehe.”

‘hey there, i guess it is high time for an update, huh?’
The spectral father was reclined on a half-submerged river boulder, indicating toward the water below where his daughter currently was, ripples along the surface the only warning before a small, wet head popped up from the depths, fins flicking excess water off as the guppy stared upward at him.
‘we’re all doin’.. surprisingly well. we’ve been livin’ in an abandoned huntin’ cabin, out here in the woods.. the townspeople actually told us-.. well, undyne bout’ it durin’ her stay in the clinic, said it was a fixer-upper, but could be spruced up with some elbow-grease.. even invited her ta’ do so.. it’s worked out really well for us.. it’s even close ta’ the river, so amelia’s quite content with our new digs, heh.’
Pushing off from the rock, he floated down to scoop the mini siren from the water, cradling her in the crook of his arm, while she settled against his transparent hoodie, her eyes half-closing.
‘ame’s walkin’ well, even though she prefers ta’ swim when she can. an’.. even though it’s really rare, she does talk. an’ i mean.. pretty much complete sentences.. really threw undyne n’ me for a loop, since we hadn’t done much speech trainin’ with her yet.’
He chuckled softly, leaning down to press a kiss along the crown of her head, prompting the guppy to glance up and smile at him.

‘our lil’ miracle’s just that special.. heh.’

‘i guess i can take a minute ta’ learn ya on what’s goin’ on.’
The peacekeeper stretched tiredly, reclined back on the couch as he wound fresh bandaging over a gash along his forearm, nodding to the curled up form of his son, sound asleep at his side, hugging onto a much smaller, fluffy pup.
‘riley’s finally on solids only, much ta’ our relief.. and he’s toddlin’ round’ well, though he has a habit of pretendin’ ta’ fall over and cry, jus’ so he’ll be picked up.. we gotta break ‘im of that, can’t be doin’ that round’ anyone else.. could make him a target.. seen as easy EXP..’
Tumblr media
‘we’ll protect ‘im of course.. but monsters got long memories. an’ we’re not always gonna be there.. he can’t be labeled as weak early on. other n’ that.. we’ve finally found a house that’ll suit us, closer ta’ the outskirts of town, got all tha’ paperwork n’ shit done too, so we’ll be movin’ fore’ long.. it’ll be nice ta’ have more livin’ space, after bein’ crammed up in an apartment.’
Finishing the binding, he pushed off from the couch and scooped both pup and son into his arms, hardly rousing them in the process.
‘that’s it fer’ us, good fuckin’ night.’
