"I'm scared how he's going to react" Quackity said turning to niki watching philza step up to the podium ghostbur in the center.
The podium filled with various foods, ingots of gold, iron and netherite, emeralds and diamonds surrounding it.
"I'm sure you'll be alright, don't be afraid Quackity" She said smiling softly, despite her own worries she knew quackity was in a delicate state and didn't need her stress along the piles of stress he has himself
It had been 161 days, About 5 months since Wilbur Soot died by his father's hand. And a lot has happened in those 5 months.
Quackity had worked his way through Dream, begging and chipping away to finally get the revived book back into his possession.
Today was the day they were going to bring Wilbur back.
If what Tommy says is correct wilbur has spent 13 and a half years dead.
Quackity felt his stomach turn, him suddenly feeling nauseous due to all of the worry and stress.
It also didn't help when you are carrying the dead guy's baby.
Quackity has found out a few days after Tommy was exiled, and as such had to tell Tubbo about it. From there he had to revoke their plan on killing Techo and instead made him stand trial through a jury made up of people on neutral terms, such as Sam, Eret, and Puffy.
After some convincing and many discussions they had finally set out a punishment on Tencho called "no more anarchy for La'Manberg no more bothering from La'Manberg."
That still didn't stop Dream from blowing up La'Manberg until it was ruble, and forced him to move into his house in El Rapids.
Quackity worked from there, slowly building up Las Nevadas while working everyday to get the context of the revived book back from dream.
Now here he is. After weeks of hard work he finally got the words of the revived book and now must follow the prices to bring his past lover/father of his child back to life.
Quackity stood up, belly just starting to become a hindrance near his 7th month of pregnancy.
He rubbed it softly trying to calm down the child in him. His wings ruffled behind him in a show of worry.
Quackity went up the podium with the help of Techno, holding onto his arm for support.
When Quackity reached the top he got the chant ready. Opening the newest revival book he had made after Dream burned the old one and finally told him what was in it.
Quackity took a deep breath before focusing back on the task at hand and chanting as Philza stabbed the sword through Ghostburs body.

("Lady Death, hear my plea. I beg of thee to return this soul and body once more together in the over world. I beg of thee Lady Death for I have sacrificed a valuable from the over world in return of the dead. Here to you is the weapon they had been killed with. And today I shall give to you. Oh great lady death. Accept our sacrifice like how we accept you.")
Nothing happens for a moment as just as Quackity is about to give up ghostbur and the sword that killed him starts to glow.
The glow is so bright, nearly blinding and they cannot see what is happening around them. When the light finally receded. There in where Ghostbur once stood is Wilbur. Not Ghostbur solid, not whatever Tommy saw, but the living breathing Wilbur that was common before the election and would sometimes be shown in his rare moments of total sanity back in Pogtopia.
The Wilbur Quackity had fallen in love with. The Wilbur Quackity is having a child with.
"I'm alive?" Are the first words out of Wilbur's mouth as he looks around to everyone, first his dad then Tommy then the rest.
His back is facing Quackity and all of a sudden the fear of Wilbur not wanting the child hits Quackity at full force.
Quackity tries to hide himself behind Technoblade, who holds his hand in a sign of comfort.
His other arm is wrapped around his belly, feeling self conscious as he remembers the changes his body has gone through for the baby.
As a shifter his body is able to change easily though due to his pregnancy he has been unable to shift into other forms. His body set on taking care of the baby in a healthy manner. His figure had curved out, hips had widened, his breasts filled out getting really to feed his baby. His already soft features had turned a little feminine.
Finally after what feels like forever Wilbur turns around to face techno and Quackity. Eyes zooming in on quackity pregnant from and how he is holding techno hand.
"Alexis?" He questions softly, a mixture of love and hurt in his eyes. Since when has Quackity and Techno been an item, how long has he been dead?
"Hi, Will" Quackity said shyly, scared of how Wilbur would react.
"I think it will be best mates if you speak privately," Phil says standing behind his son and clapping him on the back.
"Yeah, not that we aren't happy to see you but this is important enough for us to hold off our celebration for a little bit." Tommy said to his brother.
"Will you be okay, do you want me to come with you?" Techno questions, having grown protective of quackity ever since he found out quackity was expecting his future niece or nephew.
"I'll be fine Techno, I need to speak to him privately so go on with Phil and Tommy." Quackity said smiling softly in what he hoped was reassurance.
Slowly everyone let the pair have their space as Quackity led Wilbur to a more secluded area before sitting down.
"Soo… " Quackity started, he was slowly rubbing his stomach as he felt his child kick his tummy.
"How long have I been gone?" Wilbur asks.
"5 months, almost 6"
"And how far along are you?"
"About 7 months"
"Wait seven months would be about a month before I die so that means that you got pregnant..." Wilbur cut himself off looking at Quackity in disbelief.
Quackity sighed 'well here goes nothing' he thought.
"Surprise Will, I'm having your baby" he said smiling nervously.
Wilbur stayed there shocked for a moment.
"It's mine?"
Oh no this is what Quackity had been scared about. "You don't have to be with me or even take care of the child, I understand if you didn't want another kid after Fundy. I mean I already spoke to him and he's excited to have a sibling but if you don't want it-" Quackity rushed out. Words getting tangled together and his accent showing more.
"Alex I. I'm so happy right now. You're having my kid. And not only that but Fundy is perfectly okay with it." Wilbur smiles down at him, he reaches out a hand. "Can I?" He motions toward Quackity's belly.
"Yeah, give me your hand," He said, grabbing Wilbur's hand. Long thin fingers cold to the touch as he places the hand where the baby had been kicking him all day, almost immediately getting another kick in response.
Wilbur smiles at quackity. "Hi baby" He said, speaking to Quackity's belly. "It's me, your dad. I'm sorry I haven't been around but I'm here now, and I love you so, so much."
"So, how has it been?" Wilbur asked, staring at quackity.
"It's been rough but with everyone's support, especially Technoblade, when he learned that he was going to be an uncle he got so protective, Phil had to literally knock him out."
Wilbur silently rejoiced at what he heard. "So you and Techie aren't together?"
"God knows, I can't possibly date the twin of the man I love," Quackity said shyly, looking away from Wilbur.
“Its so weird seeing you like this, I'm slowly getting back Ghostbur's memories and it's so weird to see what went down while I was in Limbo.” Wilbur then said softly. “One thing I do remember is Ghostbur finding out about the baby and how he swore to protect you,” he looks Quackity in the eyes. “And I want to keep that promise.”
Quackity looked at Wilbur confused at what he was trying to say.
“I know it will take awhile for us to be the same as we were before but I want to be in your life just as I want to be in our child’s. And i am willing to wait however long that may be” Will said with a gentle smile.
“Yes, will I … I would like that a lot” Quackity said, his eyes bright and happy.
Wilbur helped quackity up from the bench they had been sitting on and kissed him softly on his lips. Quackity smiled, love felt through the kiss in tidal waves.
When they finally broke apart for air, they just stood there staring at each other, basking in the other’s presence.
Finally, Wilbur held out his hand to quackity, Quackity in return grasping it softly as they walked toward the party where the rest of their family and friends are probably waiting for them.
Hand in hand, ready to face whatever tomorrow will bring.
