(This happens before he went into his gooey form).

Nightmare's POV
I don't understand why I have to be here. I never asked to be this way or to be born. Don't get me wrong I love my brother but he sometimes ticks me off. Everyone loves him and not me because of my job. I am at home eating pancakes. After like a few minutes someone knocks at the door. I'm pretty sure no one knows where we live so it must be Dream. I get up and head towards the door. "Dream yo-" There was no one there. What? The sound of small snores can be heard below me. I look down to see a small human baby covered in a blue/pink blanket. Who would leave their baby here and how did they find our house. I pick up the basket and see a note.

To whom it may concern,

I'm so sorry to give you such a responsibility. I love my little baby but I can't take care of her/him. So please do me a favor and take good care of (Y/N). The only thing I want is for my little baby to be happy but that won't happen if she/he is with me.

                                   ~Joan

Must be a loving mother if she does this. (Y/N) starts to wake up and giggle. I smile as I hold their small squishy hand. "Let's get you inside." I get back inside the house and close the door. What a precious kid just looking at them can make anyone's heart melt away. (Y/N) holds onto my my index finger and starts to smile at me. I'm already getting attached to them. The door opens to reveal Dream. "I'm home!" He yells out as I shush. He turns around and starts to squeal silently just from one glance. He skips towards me and sits next to me looking at (Y/N) with much happiness. "So cute. Why do you have a human baby with you?" He looks at me as the baby plays with our fingers. I grab the letter and hand it to him. "Some woman named, Joan, left them here saying she can't take care of (Y/N)." He skims through the letter. Once he was done he places it down at the couch and then suddenly raises a brow. He looks at me and then (Y/N). "(Y/N)," he asks if that was their name to which I nod. He smiles warmly and plays with their arms. "It suits her/him well." We both enjoyed that day since (Y/N) was in it.

The next day I went baby shopping to get things that babies need. I buy clothes, shoes, diapers, all kinds of stuff for (Y/N). I then head home where Dream is taking care of them. When I enter the house Dream was dancing with (Y/N). Seeing that just made me smile and forget all the jealousy. "I got the stuff." Dream turns around with a bright smile that shines like the sun. Guess he has been having fun with little (Y/N).

Dream and I went to the tree to guard it so no one steals the fruit. Although Dream did all the work I was behind the tree taking care of (Y/N). She/he is a calm baby but is a handful, always wants attention. I started to give her/him their formula. Man we haven't even had (Y/N) for a week and they are already changing our lives. She/he brings more happiness into our lives especially mine. At first I thought no one loved me except for Dream but turns out that someone else loves me too even if they can't talk and isn't fully developed. I started to hum to (Y/N) so they can go to sleep which worked after a minute humming and rocking her a bit. This has just turned into one of the best days that I have ever had. I look up to see the beautiful scenery behind the tree. Just a whole field full of nice tall green grass, flowers, and a few trees swaying with the wind's song. This day is just so amazing that nothing can ruin it.

"Hey dad look I made you a flower crown." I turn around to see (Y/N) running towards me with a flower crown made out of buttercups. (Boy outfit: F/C t, F/C shorts. Girl outfit: F/C dress). A smile spreads on my face as I kneel down to pick up (Y/N). She/he giggles and puts the crown on me. O already have a crown but I like this one better. "Thank you (Y/N). I love it a lot." I hug her/him as they hug me back. I kneel down again so they can run around and be energetic. They ran around and fell on the buttercups as they just stare at the clouds. I smile but it faded away as I look back at the tree. Mine are just as good right? My legs start to move to the tree as I take a bite out of the black apple. After a few moments everything started to hurt and one of my eye sockets started to get covered up by something. My vision started to blur as negative thoughts started to enter my head. I fall to the ground in pain.

(Y/N)'s POV
I get up to see grey clouds cover the sky. "Time to go!" I get up happily and turn around to see dad covered in black goo. His clothed changed too. He wore fancy clothes and now he wears clothes that I wear like sweaters and basketball shorts. Weird tentacle arms appeared on his back. "Daddy!" I run up the hill to get up to him. Once I reached the top slowly I started to walk up to him. Later my arm stretches to touch him to see if he is ok. He looks at me with a blue eye and scary face. My eyes widen as I step back a bit from fear. He starts to walk to me as I walk back. Dream screams and runs towards me to cover up daddy.

I peek a bit to see him all angry as he leaves the hill. Dream turns to me and hugs me really tight. "Is he coming back uncle Dream?" Tears started to come out as I held on tight to his cape. He didn't say anything for a long time. "I don't know." I heard him crying too.

Another 8 years later

I still get dreams about dad and they aren't very pleasant. Adding on top of that I never saw him again since that day. He never came back to our family. He wasn't there for my birthdays, my graduations from elementary school and middle school, my performances nothing. Being a teenager is hard because of school, changes, and emotions. Being 16 isn't easy for me since he isn't there. Now I only live with uncle Dream. I got so lost in thought I almost fell down the tree I was in but I saved myself. I lean on the tree as my hair swayed in the wind. "It's not fair." Tears started to slip out. Crying is all I ever did my whole life at this point. Uncle Dream said when I was younger I was always happy and lit up people's faces with just my presence. Things have changed. My hand raises itself to my cheeks to wipe away the tears. Then uncle Dream walks to the tree I was in.

He had a smile on his face like always. "(Y/N) come down I have a surprise for you!" He yells. I groan and roll my eyes because nothing makes me happy at this point. My hands grip on the branch as I let go to walk to Dream. "Yeah?" My response sounded so uninterested and depressed. That didn't stop uncle Dream from smiling which makes me a bit satisfied that he isn't affected by my emotions. He grabs my hand to walk towards the house. "I might have found dad." He says with stars in his eyes. My eyes widen motioning him to continue. He nods and opens a portal to a very dark and gloomy place. He enters it as I follow him in.

We ended up in front of dark castle in a dark place. Uncle Dream looks at me with a worried expression. "The only thing is he is very......angry and negative so I can't go with you. We're opposites at this point so I can't help him but you can." I immediately understand what I have to do. I walk towards the castle as uncle Dream leaves and I prefer him to do so. Inside the castle is very cold and dark. No surprise there. Determined to find him I continue forward looking for him in the castle. With every step I took it made a loud creak. Jeez this is so bad. Then out of nowhere a tar covered tentacle wraps around me, lifts me up in the air and turns me upside down. It drags me in the hallways until I reached a throne room with a tar covered skeleton. Is that dad?

"Who hell are you and how did you get in here?!" He yells at me. My eyes widen and start to water a bit. It has been so long since I saw him. He glares at me and throws me to the other side of the room. "AAAHG!" I fall to the floor in huge pain. He walks over to me with a smirk on his face. I look up at him struggling to get on my feet. He chuckles and wraps his tentacle around my waist as it starts to tighten around me. It was difficult to breathe and to move. "Any last words?" My body nears as he looks at my scared blue face. With all my force and strength I managed to get out what I wanted to say.

"I-It's m-m-me, (Y-Y/N-N), yo-your d-daughter-er." He widens his eye socket and just as I was about to die he let me go. I drop to the floor choking and coughing searching for air. He lifts me up as blue tears come out of his one eye socket. "(Y-Y/N)?" I nod as I form tears of my own. He lets out a cry and hugs me as I hug him back also sharing a few cries with him. Its been so long and I have been waiting for this moment. He pulls away smiling caressing my cheek. "Look at how much you've grown. Heh it seems like yesterday you were just a small little baby and now you're a grown man/woman." He chuckles through his tears and cries trying to lighten up the mood. I smile at him. This is all I've ever wanted just to see his face again. "I'm so happy to see you again." We spent like 20 minutes crying and hugging each other.

Later

We returned home where uncle Dream saw his brother once again. They both started to cry as they also had their little reunion. "I missed you little bro." Dad stated as he patted Uncle's head. Uncle Dream was crying uncontrollably just like how I was. This made me cry a little just to see them like this. Then dad's tentacle dragged me with them as I now joined the group hug. "The family has returned." He states crying. We all fell to the floor having an emotional meltdown. This is all I could ever ask for.

Man I wish I had a family like that you know when you see your father again. Wish my life was like that. Also didn't know what to name this story.
