Sans talked to Anthony and roped him into talking to Alastor with it. It seemed that their spider had also been getting the feeling that Alastor was holding something back from them. So, while Anthony got Al into one of their bedrooms, Sans went downstairs to give the baby to his uncle. Papyrus was regailing his time in Heaven to the girls, and he could see Husk quietly listening in from the bar. When the cat bird spotted him, he gestured Sans over. Sans complied, seeing as it had been a while. "Looking for someone to babysit? Your brother seems busy, so I can take the kid a while, if you want?" Sans smiled back as Husk walked around and gave the baby a finger to suck on. "yeah, good idea, uncle husk." Sans mused. Husk rolled his eyes at Sans and took him, allowing for Sans to teleport up to where Alastor was sitting. Anthony was standing in front of him, but Sans could see Alastor struggling to keep his smile. His eyes instantly flicked over to Sans when he appeared. "What is this about?" Alastor asked as Sans shuffled forward to stand beside Anthony.

"i think you know, al..." Sans told him softly, and Alastor's smile dropped into a near frown. "You're hidin' somethin' from us, Alastor baby... tell us what's wrong so we can help?" Anthony took Alastor's hands in his own, but the Radio Demon pulled away. "I... do not wish to be touched, now, Angeldust." Sans and Anthony both frown at the chosen name. They weren't around anyone else, so there was no need to call him that. Anthony drew into himself, uncertainty and fear in his eyes. "Did... did I do somethin' wrong, Al? What can I do ta make it better? Please, I don't like this!" Sans reached up to take one of his hands, and Sans could see guilt flash in Alastor's eyes as he reached out to do the same. "Not at all, my darling. You have done nothing... I just. It has been... difficult. To accept." Alastor chose his words carefully, further confusing Sans and Anthony. "what is, al? help us understand what's going through your head, alastor breaux." Sans ordered softly, his gaze stern despite his soft manner. Alastor hesitated, his smile finally disappearing as he turned away. "When the angels come... if they offer you anything, just say yes..." Alastor pulled away and left his lovers alone.

Sans knew Alastor was out because he was avoiding them. Alastor didn't dare to say anything more. He seemed genuinely afraid to see them, and it broke Sans' soul. Alastor loved them. He knew as much. He didn't understand Alastor's behavior. Not until Sera came. "OH! HELLO MISS SERA!" She chuckled. "Hello, Papyrus. Do you need a lift to the gates?" Papyrus simply shrugged, though. "Maybe After You Look Around!" Charlie was quick to introduce herself and show Sera around, introducing her to everyone. "A child born to the underworld and a monster soul at that... However, did you make it here?" Sera asked Sans, who only grinned. "ain't that the question?" Charlie smiled with uncertainty. "Sans doesn't exactly like to open up... not after my dad..." Sera sighed heavily at the mention of Lucifer. "I would imagine not. And where is your notorious Radio Demon? I have heard that he broke contracts and released the souls of his captives." Husk damn well shot out of his chair in surprise, while Anthony and Sans shared shocked looks. Sera sighed. "Well, maybe next time. Mikhail Kotov, Anthony Rossi, Comic Sans, and Saveur Sans, you are all welcome to Heaven. With your contracts all broken and clean, you are hereby given a second chance."
