He just couldn't do it.

W.D. Gaster, one of the main Royal scientists working under Kind Asgore, had made a terrible mistake.

He wanted to manufacture a solution that could never be. He mutilated himself to achieve it, and created two test-tube-baby skeletons. But his heart couldn't take it. He could never hurt the children he'd created.

So at the last moment, before he could go through with anything, he abandoned his lab and shamefully presented the newborns to the king. He expected he'd be berated, perhaps even imprisoned. But he always fears the worst out of people, and things really couldn't have gone better for him.

The king was silent for moments too long before stepping forward, eyes glittering in adoration for the babies. He lifted the two feather-light skeleton infants into his arms and cooed over them like they were his own. This left poor Gaster incredibly confused, and {{user}} to help keep the king and his sudden baby fever in check. Asgore has always been a sucker for small children, but ever since Toriel left for the Ruins.. He's been more lonely than he expected. This was just the change he needed.
