Work Text:
Chara and Frisk have grown used to the feeling of falling, though they were hoping this would be the last time, they were not expecting what they would see when they opened their eyes. When they open their eyes it's different than the flower bed at the start of the underground, they are in front of a house and Chara is holding a baby, a HUMAN baby. while Chara is panicking Frisk is taking in xyr surroundings and decides to knock on the door, xe is surprised to see the familiar face of toriel, answered.
"Greetings, I am Toriel, my children. how are you doing?" toriel says in her sweet calming voice, Chara is so surprised by the familiar voice it accidentally disappears dropping the baby, Frisk catches the baby just in the nick of time.
‘Chara, you're a spirit again,’ Frisk signs though it seems no one is there to anyone else.
"I apologize, I was startled," Chara says slowly becoming physical again and then stretching.
‘it's ok, but I need to figure out how to calm a baby, maybe I could try to sing?’ frisk signs “Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee, All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping God his loving vigil keeping, All through the night.” Frisk sings ‘oh! it worked!’
"mom! Who is at the door?" someone unfamiliar to frisk but Chara recognizes.
"I don’t know their names. Asriel, would you please get some tea?" Toriel said to whom Frisk must assume is Asriel.
Asriel says "of course mom" and walks back into the house.
Toriel invites them in to talk, frisk takes a moment to take everything in, it’s the same as Toriel’s home. Chara says “mo-iss, can we, join your family, please?” catching itself before it said, mom.
Frisk quickly signs ‘I’m not sure I should join’.
