What if Dream got pregnant inside Pandora's Vault? How would Sam react, and how would he change the way he treats Dream?
I thiiiink I’ve made a post about this before. Anyway me and @cgogs have discussed this.
1) c!Sam is not a fan!! He was kinda in denial about their whole situation to begin with. He does not want to have a child with c!Dream!! However. That’s his kid, isn’t it. He’s not sure what he wants to do about this child, if he wants Dream to keep it or or get rid of it. He wants a child, he wants his child, he just doesn’t want to admit that he wants any piece of Dream.
2) Luckily, he doesn’t have to admit that he wants the kid. Sam is neither going to force Dream to have an abortion nor prevent him from accessing one. #dreamsbodydreamschoice. Sam is an ally (except ofc for the torture and starvation and confinement and privacy and general violations of autonomy)
3) Sam is not going to starve Dream nor allow him to be tortured while he’s pregnant. He’s not going to let the innocent baby suffer for Dream’s poor choices! Which means Dream gets a regulated diet, regular examinations, and no more Q visits. It’s psychologically onerous but a huge step up from what he’s been suffering, so! He’ll take it.
4) Dream is aware of this. Dream doesn’t particularly want Sam’s child either, but he does very much want Sam’s protection. So yeah no way in hell is he letting this thing die. He protects it and it will protect him.
5) Dream doesn’t know shit about pregnancy and Sam isn’t telling him anything. Dream doesn’t know how long it’s been, what kinds of discomfort are normal symptoms of pregnancy, what’s his imagination under hellish circumstances, what’s aftereffects of torture, etc. He has Horrific nightmares. Mostly about Q and vivisection and coat hangers. And so forth.
6) Sam tries valiantly to abstain from additional sex with evil. Not that valiantly though.
7) Dream has no one else to talk to. So he talks to his baby all the time, when he’s alone. Not even Quackity visits anymore. It’s just Dream and Sam and the thing growing inside him. Sam has been trying to practice studied indifference, stuffy distance.
8) When Nettle is born, Dream tells Sam her name. He doesn’t know if Sam will keep it. Sam takes her away immediately: the prison is no place for a child and Dream is no parent. The cell is returned to its former state. If it weren’t for his physical state, Dream would wonder if he imagined her.
