Chapter Text
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning.
The birds were chirping, the sun was shining through the cracks in your curtains, and you knew that today was going to be a good day.
Spending a few more minutes in your comfortable bed, you eventually threw the sheets off the mixture of warmth and cold causing goosebumps.
Humming a happy tune, you grabbed out some warm clothes before heading into a shower.
You were meeting Nuria and her boyfriend, Helem for breakfast at that yummy pancake place up the street. You would’ve slept in later, but the three of you had agreed on leaving early as the place got extremely crowded on weekends.
The warm water running over your body relaxed your tense muscles. You tried not to tense too much when playing the piano, but you always seemed to find a way to hurt your neck. That, or it was your fingers.
After spending some time under the water, you eventually exited the shower and dried yourself off, quickly getting dressed.
Grabbing the folder of sheet music and your purse, you scurried into the living room in search of your car keys.
After some searching, you emerged victorious with keys in hand.
Just as you were about to leave the house your phone rang, fishing it out of your bag the caller ID read Nuria. She was likely calling to bitch about you being late.
“Yes, yes! I know I’m late I just lost my car keys.” You whined as you accepted the call, holding your phone in your right hand as you held your purse chocked full of your items and your folder full of sheet music in your left hand.
Fumbling with the door, you exited your house, turning around to lock it.
“Why does that not surprise me. Your home is like a black hole! Everything disappears in there. I’m waiting for you too as well!” Nuria teased, yelping slightly in start before chewing Helem out.
You snickered at the two’s interaction. They were a cute couple and with how long they’ve been together for you wouldn’t be surprised if they got engaged soon.
Turning around you were met with the sight of a cop car pulling up to the front of your house… You hadn’t killed anyone… you think. Maybe it was for the neighbors.
This idea went out the window as they exited the car and made eye contact with you.
“Hey, Nuria I gotta go. I’ll see you when I get there.” You said quickly before ending the call and shoving your phone into your bag.
“(y/n) (l/n)?” One of the officers spoke… Your gaze shifted to the officer next to him, it was Maxwell a friend of yours that often competed in bake-offs between the two of you, his husband being the judge.
“Yes, can I help you, officers?” You question as you opened your car door and put your bags in so you could pay full attention to them.
For some reason, your heart was racing and you felt as though there was a pit in your stomach. They hadn’t even said anything bad, yet why did you feel as though your world was ending?
“We…” Maxwell started, however, stopped suddenly as he tried to find the right words.
“We got a call from the Mount Ebott police department. It’s was a woman named Undyne.” The other officer began.
You knew Undyne. She and her wife, Alphys were good friends of both you and your sister. The two were a blast to hang out with as you loved marathoning anime with them. Had something happened to Alphys?
“She informed us of your sister, Morgana’s passing, and of her husband, Darius’ passing.” Maxwell finished.
You didn’t know what to think at first, staring blankly at them as your mind tried to comprehend the news.
“Morgy…. Morgy’s dead?” You felt your heart clench. This had to be a bad dream. You wanted to wake up, you wanted to puke.
“I’m sorry for your loss, (y/n). If there’s anything we can do to make this easier on you, then please let us know.” Maxwell said with a nod before getting back into the patrol car with his partner and driving off.
You felt a raindrop.
And then another.
And just like that, the once sunny day was blotted out by rainclouds and the horrible news of your precious sisters passing.
Weakly getting into the car you shot Nuria a text saying something had popped up and that you’d be there later. You knew mourning alone wasn’t a good idea at the moment. You’d gone down that path once before.
Shakily you dialed Undyne’s number.
Were the kids alright? Maxwell hadn’t said anything about them.
“Hello?” Undyne’s voice came through the phone.
“Hey… It’s me… I just got the news. Are the kids alright? How did she pass? Did she suffer? Did he suffer?” You struggled to get out as tears blurred your vision and your throat felt as though it was closing up on you.
“It… It was a car accident, they were killed on impact, Orion and Chara were the only ones in the car. They’re a bit banged up, but they’re alright. Frisk was at home with a cold…” Undyne replied sadness in her voice.
“Does… Does that make me their guardian now?” You felt your heart leap into your throat, sometimes it was hard to take care of yourself… How were you going to manage taking care of not one, but three children?!
“Yes.”
