“You ready guys?”

Alaina and Fresh looked at each other. It was a while after their marriage, and getting their new house. Right now, they were going to have a child. But, since they were different species, they couldn’t. Instead, they did what CQ had done with Fresh and his brothers; by using magic. Unlike her however, they both used their DNA so the baby had both of their genes.

Thinking about who and what their child was going to be, they nodded. Then, they came to the middle of the room, where Alaina and Fresh’s DNA samples were. Fresh turned on his magic, and after a bit, Alaina did too. They both held hands before closing their eyes, thinking about of their future child. Suddenly, a bright light had manifested underneath them, and soon enough, the light turned into a shape, until the light died down, a babies cries being heard.

Both Fresh and Alaina opened their eyes to look at the baby, happy that they are now parents. Alaina picked the baby up, carefully holding its head up. Fresh looked at the baby. It was skeleton looking, and he saw a bit of fuzz on top of their skull, signifying that they would be getting haircuts in the future.

“Is it a boy or a girl?” Alaina asked.

Fresh checked the baby’s pelvis, before saying, “It’s a girl!”

Alaina smiled, before turning around, asking her mother-in-law, “You want to hold her?”

CQ nodded, and, after putting a blanket on her, Alaina handed the baby to CQ. CQ looked at the baby, and saw that she looked a lot like Fresh, with some hints of Alaina.

“So, what are you going to name her?” CQ asked.

Both Fresh and Alaina looked at each other, before Fresh turned back to his mom, saying, “Her name will be Abigail. Abigail June Prana.”

“That is a wonderful name.” CQ said. She turned to the baby, who had quieted down to look at the strange woman holding her. “Hello Abigail. I’m your grandma CQ. We are going to have so much fun time together whenever I babysit you.” Abigail cooed in response.

Looking up, CQ was going to ask Fresh if he wants to hold Abigail, but stopped when she saw tears in her son’s eyes.

“Fresh? What’s wrong?” CQ asked, worried.

Fresh wiped his eye sockets, saying, “I’m okay mom. I’m just so happy!”

CQ smiled warmly at that, before saying, “Okay. Do you want to hold Abigail?”

Fresh nodded. “Okay. Here you go.” CQ said, before handing Abigail.

After holding her correctly, Fresh looked at his daughter with eye sockets filled with tears, but with a smile on his face. “Hello Abigail,“ Fresh said. He wiped some tears, before saying, “I’m your dad. And I’m going to take good care of you, I promise.” Abigail lifted her hand up, and Fresh held out a finger, which Abigail grabbed tightly.

“She’s got a strong grip, huh?” CQ asked.

“Yeah, she does.” Fresh said, still looking at his daughter, who looks like she is trying to put his finger in her mouth. “Hey Alaina, can you go get her formula? I think she’s hungry.”

“Sure Fresh.” Alaina said, before going into the kitchen to do so.

While waiting, Fresh went to the couch that was nearby, before grabbing a red onesie. Laying her down, he started buttoning it, but it didn’t work somehow. Fresh heard a chuckle behind him, before CQ appeared next to him. “Let me help with that.” CQ said. Fresh moved out of the way, and CQ stepped in, buttoning Abigail’s onesie correctly.

“Thanks mom.” Fresh said, a small but noticeable embarrassed blush on his face.

“Your welcome Fresh, and don’t worry. I did the exact same thing to Geno.” CQ chuckled, before saying, “My mentor, who was with me when Geno got born, had to show me how to even properly hold a baby, clothe them, and even give them their bottle.”

Finally, Alaina came back with the bottle, and Fresh grabbed it and Abigail, before he started feeding her, after CQ showed him how.

“Hey,“ CQ said, “You want me to bring everyone in now?”

Fresh would've face palmed if his hands weren't full. Everyone was waiting outside, since the only people who should be present in the process were the parent(s) and someone who would mentor the parent(s), if it was the parent(s) first time.

“Yeah, bring them in.” Fresh said.

After hearing him agree, CQ went outside, before saying, “Okay guys. They’re ready. But remember, you have to be quiet, alright?”

Geno, Error, Asy, and Alaina’s parents nodded. Opening the door more, CQ led them to the new parents, who had both decided to sit down on the couch. Fresh had Abigail over his shoulder, burping her. Alaina, finally noticing the new company, waved at them, before saying, “Hey Abigail. Guess who’s here to see you?”

Once he got done burping her, Fresh looked up at them, saying, “Hey Error, would you like to go first?”

“M-me?” Error said, surprised, “I don’t know…”

“Come on! You can do it!” Fresh said supportively. After a while, Error nodded, and Fresh got up so Error can have a seat. Once Error sat down, Fresh gave him Abigail, showing him how to hold her head up.

Error held Abigail, before stuttering out, “H-hello Abigail. I’m y-your Uncle Error.” Error looked up at Fresh, and Fresh had the look that said ‘keep going’. Error felt more confident, before looking down, saying, “When you get old enough, we are going to go fishing together. I’ll teach you everything I know about fishing; from how to put bait on your line, to how to reel in fish.”

After giving Abigail to Fresh, Error and Geno switched places, before Fresh handed Abigail to Geno. Geno chuckled, before saying, “Hello Abigail. You can call me Uncle Geno. I will be there for you whenever you get sick, because I have been sick for so long, so I know what it will feel like.”

Geno did the same thing Error did, but instead of switching with Error, he switched with Asy. Once Asy had Abigail in his arms, he said, “Hey Abigail. I am your Great-Uncle Asy, but you can just call me your Grunkle Asy. I will be there whenever you get hurt, so I can give you my magic Band-Aids. But I need you to promise me that you won’t tell anyone, understand?” When Abigail cooed in response, he held Abigail closer, saying, “I knew I could trust you to keep a secret!”

After getting Abigail back, Fresh saw that she was getting tired. He looked at his family, before saying, “Okay, we will hold off introductions for now. Abigail is getting pretty tired.”

After everyone said goodnight to Abigail, Fresh carried her to her new bedroom. Opening the door, Fresh looked at how they did on the nursery. The top part of the walls were colored a light blue, while the bottom half had pink wallpaper that looked like it was falling apart. A white barrier was between the two colors. At the edge of the room, toward the window, was a white crib, with some teddy bears and dolls inside it. Next to the crib was a wooden rocking chair. To the left of the room was a wooden dresser. Next to the dresser was an empty toy box, which Fresh knew was going to be filled with toys.

Fresh moved to where the crib was. Setting her down, Fresh tried to get Abigail to sleep, but somehow Abigail wouldn’t. Then he remembered that CQ said that when Error was just a baby, he too wouldn’t go to sleep. She finally found out that singing helped, so until a bit before Fresh was born, she sang a song that always put Error to sleep. It was a little creepy, but it did work. Fresh picked up Abigail, before sitting down in the rocking chair. After rocking for a bit, Fresh drew in a breath, before singing.

Come little children,

I’ll take thee away,

Into a land of enchantment.

Come little children,

The times come to play,

Here in my garden of shadows.

Fresh looked down at Abigail. She yawned, but she wasn’t falling asleep yet. He decided to continue.

Follow sweet children,

I'll show thee the way,

Through all the pain and the sorrows.

Weep not poor children,

For life is this way,

Murdering beauty and passions.

Fresh saw Abigail’s eye sockets begin to close. He rubbed her head softly as he sang the next words.

Hush now dear children,

It must be this way,

Too weary of life and deceptions.

Rest now my children,

For soon we'll away,

Into the calm and the quiet.

Suddenly, Fresh heard someone humming, and when he looked at the door, Alaina was there. Fresh joined in with the humming, Alaina walking toward the father and daughter. Before they were done, Fresh saw that Abigail had fallen asleep. He sat up carefully, to not wake Abigail, and went to the crib. He placed her inside it, before placing a blanket over Abigail. After humming a bit, Fresh sang again.

Come little children,

I'll take thee away,

Into a land of enchantment.

Come little children,

The time's come to play,

Here in my garden of shadows.

Fresh and Alaina stopped singing, both just looking over Abigail. After watching to make sure that she stayed asleep, the two parents walked softly to the door, before Fresh closed the door behind him.

One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 7)

Hey Guys! I’m sorry I haven’t got to write a story all year (lol, new year pun) but I couldn’t get this chapter done, due to my dad having surgery. He’s fine now, and now I got the courage to write the story again. Oh, and the nightmare was based off of Alaina’s comic, MommaCQ. This page is where it is based off from. Now without further ado, lets get in the story!

Asy belongs to @furgemancs

Fresh, Geno, and Error belong to @loverofpiggies

MommaCQ and herself belong to @alainaprana

Other characters and story belong to me, @leiselpizzatale

After crying for 20 minutes, CQ and Fresh separated, both beaming in joy. Chuckling, CQ turned to Asy, saying, "You were right. I would like one of your guests."

Asy couldn't help himself, he laughed, falling on the ground while doing so. He tried speaking, but couldn't. Shaking her head, CQ pointed to Alaina, asking Asy, "And who is she? A friend of yours?"

Knowing that Asy wouldn't get up, Fresh walked toward Alaina, saying, "Nah, ma. Uncle Asy barely knows her. Actually," He picks up Alaina's hand, which has her engagement ring on her finger, "She's my fiancée."

CQ's jaw dropped, her face in complete shock. Then, she squealed, running up to the couple, saying, "Oh my gosh, really? Congrats! When's the wedding?"

Fresh and Alaina looked at each other, before turning toward CQ, saying, "We don't know."

"Really? Well, don't worry. I could help.. uhh..."

"Alaina," Alaina replied, going up to the mother to shake her hand, "Alaina Prana."

"Crayon Queen, but you can call me CQ."

Alaina, after she was done shaking CQ's hand, said, "So, your the one who took care of Fresh, huh?"

CQ giggled, saying, "Yup. He's my youngest, out of three boys. His brother's names are-"

"Yeah, I know," Alaina interrupted, "Error and Geno, right?" She turned back to Fresh, who nodded. "Yeah, I've heard them before. Fresh told me before we came here."

"Oh, okay." CQ said, smiling. Then, she gasped. "Oh, Fresh? When are you thinking of meeting your brothers?"

Fresh's eye sockets widened. He forgot all about that. Then, he shrugged.

Alaina looked at Fresh, before turning to CQ, saying, "We haven't planned that either. Sometime soon, we hope."

After a few more minutes of talking, they decided that they were going to have Fresh meet them the next night. They would've done it earlier, but Fresh didn't feel like it, (He actually was so nervous about it, that even Alaina could hear his bones rattling) so they decided to reschedule it. They were going to do something to Error and Geno, similar to how they introduced Fresh to CQ.

After planning the meeting, Fresh, Alaina, and Asy went home. Then, after dinner and watching a movie, Asy told them that it was time to take his pills, and since they made him drowsy, he was going to go to bed. After saying goodnight, Fresh made sure that the TV was turned down lower, before he snuggled up with Alaina.

Fresh looked around. Where was he? Blackness surrounded him. Why was he here?

Suddenly, he felt something push him, and he fell on the... carpet? He looked up, seeing Error with glitches in his eye sockets. He was getting closer and closer.

Soon enough, Error was right in front of him, his fist raised, yelling out, "You dirty rotten-" But before he could finish, Geno suddenly walked behind Error, holding Error's hand still, whimpering, "P-please. Stop."

Error gave a sigh, before saying, "Okay, Geno, you win."

Fresh went to stand up, but saw Geno falling down. He went to catch him, but he couldn't move. He saw Error turning around, asking if he was okay, and what should he do.

Suddenly, Fresh heard Geno give a pained yell, before suddenly turning to dust. He sat there, staring at his dust.

"YOU!"

Fresh jumped, seeing Error, errors covering his eyes.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Error starting hitting and kicking Fresh. Fresh didn't want to fight his brother, so he covered his head, hoping to have some protection.

"HE WILL STILL BE ALIVE IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!"

"USELESS"

A kick, cracking his ribs and sternum. Fresh can't breath.

"STUPID"

A punch on his skull.

"SOULLESS"

A foot stomps on his arm.

"Wake up Fresh, wake up!"

"AHHH!" Fresh yelled, scrambling to get out of his captors hold.

"Fresh, it's okay. It's me, it's Uncle Asy!"

Blind by his panic, he didn't know that it was his Uncle, so he kept flailing.

Asy saw this, and started to hug Fresh tightly so he wouldn’t hurt Asy or himself, while Alaina (who told him about Fresh having a nightmare) started whispering to Fresh, telling him that everything was okay.

Soon, Fresh stopped struggling, just stayed still, sobbing in Asy's shoulder.

"Hey Alaina," Asy asked, "can you go make some tea? The tea bags are in the cupboards next to the refrigerator, the kettle is already on the stove."

After nodding, Alaina walked to the kitchen, starting on the tea. While waiting for the water to boil, Alaina sat down on a chair, thinking, 'What is his dream about this time? He was afraid of Asy, if the thrashing had anything to do about it. Maybe he had a nightmare about his brothers?'

Alaina's thoughts came to a halt when the whistle of the kettle started. After pouring the hot water in a cup that says 'be proud of the scars', she put the tea bag in the cup. A couple minutes later, she took the bag out, before using the string to empty out the water in the bag.

Walking out of the kitchen with the tea in her hand, Alaina walked toward Fresh and Asy, who were both talking to each other, giggling here and there. Placing the tea on the coffee table, Alaina says, "What are you guys talking about? Here's your tea, by the way."

Fresh took the cup, taking a sip. Placing it down, he swallowed, saying, "Thanks Alaina."

"We were talking about how Fresh was as a kid. Oh, you've should've seen him!" Asy replied to her question.

"Hey!" Fresh said, "What was I suppose to do? Lay around, hoping that I'll feel something?" Even though he sounded angry, a smile was still on his face.

Ignoring him, Asy told Alaina, "Everyday, no matter what, he would watch anything on TV. And when I meant anything, I mean ANYTHING. One day, he would watch a documentary about poisonous spiders, the next he would watch SpongeBob!"

While Fresh covered his face, a purple blush on his face, Alaina giggled at the though of a tiny Fresh watching a documentary on a dangerous creature, and laughed even more. After a few minutes of laughing and finishing tea, Fresh and Alaina started getting tired, so after Asy bid them a good rest of the night, Alaina cuddled with Fresh, falling asleep for the rest of the night with no nightmares.
