***Hello, everyone! No, I didn't have this one done half a week ago, I finished this today. Anyways, here we are, last chapter. Sans is the only character that I don't own, he goes to Toby Fox, and everyone else belongs to me. Let's go!
Epilogue: Five Years Later
Sans paced back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital, fiddling nervously with the golden wedding band around his left ring finger. He rarely drank nowadays, and his smokes were occasional. But he wanted both until a nurse came up to him.
"Cassandra's husband?" she guessed. "Yeah," Sans said. "She hasn't had the baby yet, but she's close. C'mon, follow me," the nurse said. She began to go towards the elevator, but was stopped by a bony hand on her shoulder.
"Just tell me the room number," Sans said. "I can get us there faster."
XxX
Sans made sure to appear outside of the shut door first, but he quickly ran inside with the nurse behind him.
"Just get it out!" Cassie cried, gripping the bed sheets so tightly that they were tearing. As she leaned forward, the doctor gripped her ankles to keep her legs apart. "It's crowning now, miss. Your husband is here too, but you have to just keep pushing," he said, watching how she progressed.
"Sans!" Cassie cried, snapping her head to the door. Sans ran over and took her hand, resting his free hand on her back. "I'm here, Cass. I'm here. You're almost there," he assured.
Cassie gave a few more hard pushes before she just began to cry into Sans' chest. "Sans... I can't do this. It hurts so badly," she whimpered.
Sans rubbed her back. "Cassie, you supported and fixed me. If you can do that, then you can get a few more pushes done," he said comfortingly.
Cassie took an even breath. Then, she pushed harder than she ever had before. Sans pressed on her belly in some attempt to help ease the newborn out. But he was terrified when Cassie seemed to just black out. She opened her eyes (and Sans calmed down considerably) when a noise sounded.
A baby was crying.
Cassie smiled despite the exhaustion clear across her face. Sans grinned, holding his wife's hand. "Well?" he prompted. The doctor picked up the messy, wailing baby. "A girl," he said.
Cassie smiled. "L... let me hold her," she pleaded. "Just let me make sure she's nice and healthy," the doctor said. He met the nurse at the opposite side of the room to tend to the baby. Meanwhile, Cassie got some rest. She scooted over on the bed, and Sans sat next to her.
He wanted to say how proud he was. He wanted to say how happy he was. But... Cassie needed a bit of peace after her labor. So, Sans just kept his arm around her, letting her rest.
But five minutes later, a nurse came over with a bundle of pink blankets. "She's healthy, but she wants her mama," she said. So, she passed the baby over. Cassie held the bundle close to her chest.
The newborn seemed to take a lot after her mother. She was human, and had the same skin tone to the dot. However, she did take some things from her daddy. After all, white hair (well, the little bit she had), skeletal hands, and eye sockets with little white pinpricks of light in them didn't really run in Cassie's family. And yet, despite the abnormalities... she was adorable.
"I think she's perfect," Sans said softly. He cupped the newborn's cheek gently and stroked it with his thumb. Slowly, the baby's cries calmed. She looked at her parents...
...then, she smiled.
Cassie smiled back. "Our sweet little girl," she said, her voice soft and filled with love. Sans' perma-grin widened. It was the happiness he'd felt when he knew he'd recover with Cassie, but only better. Way, way better.
"So, we still going with the name we picked for a girl?" he asked.
Cassie nodded. "Belleza," she said. "Bella."
The End
