Chapter Text
Chapter one:
Skin against skin, soft moans and groans, hot breath against each other's shoulders. It was any teenage boys dream, fucking the head cheerleader in the back of his truck. No one around. It was amazing.
Then it would all be forgotten about in a few weeks.
Except this time, instead of forgetting, she came to him with a positive pregnancy test. She wanted to get rid of it too.
Schlatt was on his hands and knees begging for her not to do it, he understood it was her body, but he couldn't help but feel like this baby was going to change his life forever.
He wanted his baby.
After hours of begging, she said yes, agreeing as long as he would pay for everything. Schlatt agreed, though he knew it meant he couldn't go to college.
He paid for every little thing, from doctors appointments to little items that would relive her pain. Hell he even fought for her to stay on the cheerleading squad after she gave birth.
After 9 months, the baby was born and he was named Tobi Schlatt, the little lamb was a loud one. He bleated and cried, though he was also the sweetest little thing.
Once Schlatt got back home though, he remembered the absolute hell it was. He and his father got into a fight, he remembered he watched him take on step towards Tobi and everything went blank.
Next thing he knew, he was running through the rain with a bag of he and Tobi's things to the old Watson home.
--
Phil hummed as he made a plate for everyone, his wings fluttering occasionally, a giant bruise on his cheek. His current boyfriend wasn't the best but he made sure to stay quiet about it.
Techno however, she wouldn't let it slide.
"Dad you need to get away from him."
"I told you not to talk about it, Technoblade." Phil sighed, "besides, he was having a bad day, it'll be fine."
While his family were talking at the dinner table, Wilbur was helping his little brother get ready for dinner, having had to bathe him from playing out in the rain. He thought this was a parent's job to do this but his dad's asshole boyfriend was never around to help. He was starting to get a migraine from trying to dress the struggling child, wondering if he should just give up altogether and let his brother eat dinner half-naked, although his father wouldn't be too happy about that. Once he had managed to get him completely dressed he carried him downstairs to the table, sitting him down in his chair and sighing heavily. "Dad, I don't know how you made this nightmare of a child. He fucking kicked me in the face when I was trying to get his pants on." He then went to sit down at the table before sighing heavily once there was a knock on the door, reluctantly getting back up from his half-sitting position.
"I better be getting paid for looking after that little shit." He complained before walking to the door and looking through the peephole. He first noticed the man standing there, and physically cringed, he did not want Schlatt, the asshole from school, within ten feet of him. But then he noticed the bundle in his arms and became increasingly more worried.
He opened the door and practically stared down at him before turning around and calling back to his father. "Dad, we've got an asshole homeless man on the doorstep with a... Baby?"
Phil sighed as his other two sons came down. "Uh... Yeah I'll be paid soon.." he said softly, sighing and going to the table with the plates. He set them down, a forced smiled on his lips.
Techno huffed and turned. "Don't fucking ask dad to pay you, get your own job!" She yelled, she was protective over their father. She knew how much shit he went through and how hard it was for him.
"Calm down..." Phil whispered, going to the door and instantly frowning when he saw who it was. "Oh good god, come in..." He said, helping Schlatt in with a worried look in his eyes.
Schlatt frowned. "I'm sorry I just- my dad kicked me out and I.. I didn't know where else to go.." he sighed and looked around. "I'm so sorry I.."
Wilbur tried to ignore Techno who was still at the table and closed the door behind Schlatt, keeping out the draft so the guy could dry off. He wasn't exactly happy he was here but he wasn't heartless enough to let him freeze to death. "Your dad kicked you out, that's rough."
He cringed slightly before looking at the baby in his arms and sighing heavily, he couldn't be an asshole in front of a baby. It was against some kind of moral code.
He then made his way back to the table and started to distract Tommy so he wouldn't cry and complain that he was hungry before turning to Techno and rolling his eyes. "The money thing was a joke, God you really have a stick up your ass today." He then continued to look after Tommy, though he couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation. As long as he was kept far away from him, he was fine with Schlatt staying
Schlatt looked at Wilbur, tears welled up in his eyes and he immediately looked away. Phil looked at Wil, he looked like he was about to say something but he instantly went quiet and kept his eyes on Schlatt.
"He was gonna hurt Tobi... I know he was and I just ran.. I ran upstairs, grabbed my things and jumped out of my window... I was so scared, Mr. Watson..." He cried softly and held his soaking wet baby close.
Tobi was crying, reaching for his father. He was terrified and cold and upset. He couldn't do anything else so he just cried and cried.
"It's okay, Jay, it's okay... You can have the basement... I can see if my boyfriend will get a few things before he comes home tonight.. I'm sorry that happened just.." he shook his head,he couldn't imagine kicking out one of his kids.
Wilbur continued to listen to him before turning back around and looking at the two softly. "If you want me to go up to the attic I'm sure I can find some baby clothes that will fit him, and we have some spare blankets in the closet upstairs." He didn't want to help that much but he knew he had to, otherwise, his dad would just be pissed again and he wasn't in the mood for an upset sister, parent, stranger and baby tonight.
He just wanted a night to smoke and sleep with the high but he guessed he was not having either. "I can go and try to find an old cot as well, though I can't guarantee we have a good one since it's been a hot minute." He shrugged before pulling out his cigarettes and lighting one. He needed it for the fucking nerves he had.
The baby crying was putting him on edge. "Someone will need to watch Tommy before he runs away though, you need to keep an eye on him or else he'll try to run away and we kinda need him to stay for dinner. Is Schlatt eating with us?"
Schlatt sighed, shaking. "I-im sorry, you don't have to, I have everything saved up for his nursery stuff I-I just..." Tears started pouring down his own cheeks. "I'm so sorry about him, he's just soaking and he's scared and..."
Everyone was staring at him, no one wanted him here. Fuck. "I'm sorry, I'll just leave, I just... God I.." he was shaking, on the verge of a panic attack
Phil shook his head and helped him down into the basement. The two sat together for a moment before Phil came back upstairs, calling his boyfriend to see if he could grab a few things.
Techno sighed and looked at Wilbur, shaking her head. "I'm going home, I can't-. I can't handle this, god this is why I fucking moved out." She looked at Tommy. "I love you Toms, do you want to come home with me tonight? I'm sure Dream would like to play some games with you.."
Wilbur was almost disheartened to hear Techno was leaving, for once he just wished they could have a normal dinner where they acted like a normal fucking family but something always had to screw it up. Though he knew that Tommy was probably better off going with his sister.
"Toms can go with you tonight... I know how much he hates being here when dad's boyfriend is here." He mumbled before picking Tommy up and sighing, the cigarette still clenched between his teeth. He wished they could be a normal fucking family.
"I'm gonna see you later, ok? Be good for Techno while you're gone and don't get into any trouble, ok? I'm not taking the blame for the grubby hands in the cookie jar again." He teased his little brother, making him giggle before handing him over to Techno carefully. Every time he handed Tommy over he felt like he had done something wrong, like a piece broke off of his heart and made him colder, less receptive. He loved Tommy, sure, but he always made him stressed when he was crying, his drug habit just getting worse because of the child.
He had to be high to even tolerate him. He felt extremely guilty about that, but he knew he had broken off from most of the family anyway. He had spiralled without anyone even realising and it was too late for him now in his eyes, even though he wanted to be a good role model for Tommy deep down, he knew he couldn't be. Not like this.
"Just... Stay safe, ok? Roads are slippery." Was all he said to his sister.
Techno looked at him and sighed, shaking her head and picking up Tommy, tears coming to her eyes. She was so mad at Wilbur, she wanted to be a normal family but every time Wilbur just had to-
She kissed Tommy's head before setting him. "Go get a bag packed okay sweet boy?" She smiled before watching him run off, she sighed and looked at Wilbur. "You need to get your shit together Wilbur. I'll pay for you to go to rehab.." she shook her head.
"I'm keeping Tommy for a few days, I'm gonna talk to dad about adopting him. You need to get it together. He's a baby and you're blaming him and treating him like a burden." She growled.
Once Tommy came back down, she put her shoes on and left with him, getting him into her car and driving off. On the way home she stopped to pick up some fast food for them, and once they got home Techno sat Tommy at the table and went to her and Dream's room.
She came behind him and put her hands on his shoulders, kissing the top of his head and sighing. "Baby.." she whispered.
Dream grumbled slightly, stirring from his sleep as he looked over to his girlfriend and raising a brow. He was expecting to be home alone tonight as Techno was planning to stay at her dad's tonight so he was confused to see her back.
"Hey baby, how was the dinner?" He asked softly, turning around to look at her, though he could see the small tear tracks down her cheeks; he could guess how the dinner went tonight if she was back home early. "I'm guessing it didn't go well... Let me guess, your brother and your dad's boyfriend?" He asked softly, cupping her cheeks and kissing her forehead gently, sitting up slightly to face her properly.
He hated not being able to go places with her, though he knew that her dad's house was one of the worst places to go and she didn't want him going there at all. He just felt so bad about leaving her to deal with all of this on her own. "I hope you brought back dinner for me." He teased slightly before kissing her and sighing softly, he wasn't happy that Techno was upset.
Techno sighed and nodded. "Terribly... We didn't even eat.. one of dad's old students showed up with a baby, Wilbur was acting like Tommy was a fucking demon, so... Tommy's with us again tonight.." she said softly, sitting down in bed with him. "I'm sorry, I should've called you first I just wanted.. I just _needed_ him out of there.." she said.
"Dad had a huge bruise on his cheek, and Wilbur was smoking in front of Tommy..." She shook her head, "I had to bring him back home.." she said, shrugging a bit and looking down at him.
"I did bring you some food, though... Wanna come sit with us and eat? Tommy's excited to see you and... I think we're keeping him for this week too, I don't want him going back there.."
She shook her head. "I really hope you understand.. it's like... It's like if Foolish was constantly treated like a burden and being pushed aside..." She mumbled, over explaining everything yet again.
"Just.. please?"
"Hey, hey, I understand... I really do... I don't mind Tommy staying here with us as long as he's safe and I know how your brother is, he may act like that but my mom is a therapist and most of it is probably the drugs talking." Dream sighed heavily. "I know that doesn't excuse what he says but just try to keep that into account as well. I'm really sorry about your dad as well, dang, I really wish I could help you more..." He mumbled and frowned, pulling Techno closer.
"But I'm glad the little guy is staying with us, just means I can beat him at more video games, I can't wait to see his raging little red face." He chuckled and smiled softly. "It's so cute when he gets angry." He got up slowly and picked Techno up as well, holding her bridal style and kissing her softly. "But I must say I would love to eat right now, all this napping has made me hungry." He joked before putting her down softly. "I promise he's going to have the best week ever here."
Techno kissed back and giggled, nodding a bit. "yeah... It's okay.. thank you though, you're amazing.." she huffed as she was put down, "he loves you, Mr. Wessen.." she giggled softly and kissed him again.
She pulled away and made her way out to the dining room, looking at the boy who was chowing down on his burger and fries. "Look who I got to wake up..." She giggled and gestured towards Dream, going to sit down and get her food.
Tommy gasped and waved at Dream. "Hi!! Techno told me not to get upset if you weren't awake, but honestly I would've.." the boy giggled a bit and took a sip of his cola. "Also thank you for buying this food!"
Techno laughed softly. "Of course baby, you need to eat, you're a growing boy.." she smiled at her little brother, wagging her tail a bit. "Dream said you can stay here all week long if you'd like, he's ready to beat you at more video games.."
Tommy nodded quickly. "I don't even care if I lose, I just like playing with you " he giggled.
Dream smiled softly and walked with Techno happily, making his way over to Tommy and ruffling his hair slightly before sitting down next to him. He didn't mind the boy being here, he quite enjoyed his company actually.
"I can't wait to play with you when I have the time, little man. I think it's gonna be great." He said sweetly before sighing and starting to eat slowly, watching the two at the table happily. He always liked kids, although, he would have to admit that Tommy was his favourite so far.
He was so charismatic and funny and he never failed to put a smile on his face, he was like a brother to him. "You've come at just the right time, I have a week off work and school, we can enjoy the week together however you'd like. I'll take you to the park to get some ice cream tomorrow if you want."
He just wanted to make the little guy as happy as he could, he didn't want to make him sad ever.
Techno nodded. "Mhm, and of course I work from home so I'll be here all week, though if I'm busy you just stay with Dream sweetpea.." she said softly, leaning in to kiss Tommy's head again. She loved Tommy like he was her own son.
Tommy nodded. "I know, you always say that when I come over, what do you even do anyway? You always have so much money!"
"Adult things sweetpea.." she laughed and kissed his head, looking at Dream and winking. she loved her family.
Tommy nodded and looked at Dream. "What's adult things?"
Dream knew how to lie about his girlfriend's job, especially to little kids, so he just replied; "Adult things are like taxes and stuff. It's all rather boring and I don't think you'd want to do them. It's all just paperwork."
He then continued to eat, trying not to think of their work they had together, although it was quite obvious what it was to the adult eye, to the kid's eye? Well, it was fucking boring frankly.
"Do you need to work tonight or do I get cuddles for hours like I was promised?" He asked softly, looking at Techno with a small smile, he liked the little family dynamic they had here. "If we get to bed early, the earlier we'll get to the park tomorrow."
Techno smiled. "You'll get your cuddles, don't worry sweetheart.." she smiled and looked at Dream, leaning in to kiss him softly,making Tommy jokingly gag.
Techno looked at the boy and hummed. "Let's get you to bed sweet boy..." She laughed and stood up,scooping up Tommy and kissing all over his face. "Sweetheart, will you clean up after him? He needs sleep.." she smiled and went to the bedroom.
Tommy already had his own room at the house, with clothes and books, anything a little boy could want. She had set it up so she could keep Tommy over at her house sometimes, get him away from everything.
When she came out, she went to her and Dream's room, humming softly as she got into her pajamas. A white tank top and pink shorts. It was simple and cute.
"Dream! Coming to bed sweetheart?"
Dream nodded and smiled, getting up and making his way back to the bedroom, he was still in his pyjamas so it wasn't like he needed to change at all. He was still a little tired so he just wanted to cuddle up with Techno and relax.
He walked in and smiled softly, kissing her cheek and sighing softly. "Such an angel even when you're just in pyjamas. What did I do to deserve you?" He asked sweetly. He loved having his little family here, and although Tommy wasn't his kid he felt like he might as well be, he loved having him here and he couldn't wait to have him visit each time.
"So beautiful, wanna get into bed so you can cuddle with your best boyfriend ever?" He teased before kissing her and leading her to bed happily. He was so lucky to have her.
"No clue, doll..." She purred and kissed him softly, laying down in bed and bringing him down with him. "So sweet..." She purred softly and kissed him again.
"Again, sorry for bringing him over so unannounced it's just..." She held onto him. "Dad needs help, and he knows he needs help, but he's so fucking scared... It's been six years of this shit, that's as long as Tommy's been alive I just..." She shook her head.
"My dad is amazing he just struggles a lot, with everything..." She shook her head and sighed a bit.
"Six years..." She sighed.
"I know baby, I know... It doesn't help that he's got Wilbur and now Schlatt and his baby to worry about too. I'm fine with Tommy staying for however long he wants to stay." Dream said softly. "Try not to worry about it, ok? It'll be alright, he's here, safe with us. You're here, safe with me. I promise it'll be ok in the end." He said sweetly and sighed.
"Just try and get some rest, something tells me that little rascal is gonna be up early in the morning. You need your energy." He leaned in and kissed her softly. "Good night, I love you..." He mumbled affectionately.
Techno nodded and sighed softly and kissed him before she shut her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, holding onto her boyfriend.
