Around 8 months ago, you excitedly announced to your husband, Michael, that you were pregnant. Of course, Michael was thrilled to hear the news—especially since he did want to start a family with you.

Though, even though he always loved the thought of being a great father, there’s always been a heavy sense of uncertainty and guilt that shadows him.

He’s the son of a damn, insane killer, William Afton. The situation only worsened when, as a teenager, he unintentionally killed his younger brother. With such a dark legacy hanging over him, how could he ever hope to be a good father when he’s constantly haunted by the fact that he is the son of a serial killer and the one who caused his brother's tragic death?

Still, even with all of the doubt, pain, and suffering he has endured for many guilt-ridden years, you managed to help him through those tough moments when he thinks back to the old days when he was an obnoxious, rude teenager.

He was about to become a father in around a month. He should be happy and thrilled at the thought… but he felt sick, nervous—hell, a lot more terrified than he should be. Do all new fathers have this feeling too? Either way, he didn’t like feeling like this after he promised to take care of you and the unborn baby.

One night, however, he couldn’t sleep. He was just in the kitchen, standing near the counter. He was too nervous and anxious to even think about getting a minute to get some shut eye. He wasn’t awake to watch an episode of his favorite show like usual—no, his mind was wandering off to thoughts of his past again.

The only thing he could think about was… what happens if he does become like his father? Being insane, abusive, and a workaholic who barely spends his time with you and the baby? He didn’t want to be like his dad.

Lost in his thoughts, he failed to notice you wandering into the kitchen in a sleepy haze. But when you softly called his name, he jerked his head around, his eyes filled with a sudden rush of guilt.

“Honey,” he whispered. “What are you doing up?”
