Sonette the Hedgehog was standing at the side of the ship, leaning against the railing as they sail into Arkshire. In her arms is Aleena Prower, fast asleep. Sonette sighs as Manic the Hedgehog walks over.
"How is she?" Manic asks softly.
"Asleep, thank goodness." Sonette replies as Fire the Hedgehog, Teagan Fox and Sandra Hedgehog walks over.
"Ready?" Fire asks and Sonette nods. They made it to the docks and got off. Sonette kept Aleena close and Manic kept her close. Then they saw Sonic the Hedgehog who runs over.
"Sonette, thanks goodness." Sonic said, then saw Aleena. "Who… who's the baby?" Sonic asks.
"This is Aleena Prower." Sonette introduce and Sonic looks at Sonette shock.
"Tails doesn't know." Manic tells him.
"Come on, let's get you home." Sonic said, wrapping his arm around Sonette and they head off. Sonette looks back and shakes her head. Teagan nods. Sonette face forwards and sighs as she looks at Aleena. They made it back to the house and Sonette smiles. She needed to see Tails. They then saw Miles 'Tails' Prower by a window. Sonette quickly hands Aleena to Manic, ten walks forward. Sonette smiles as Tails looks over and Tails smiles, seeing Sonette.
"Sonette." Tails said running over and gives her a hug. Sonette smiles as she wraps her arms around Tails.
"Tails, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Sonette whispers.
"It's okay, you're home now and you're safe." Tails tells her. Tails lets her go and Sonette walks back to Manic. Manic hands Aleena over and Tails looks at her worried. Sonette walks back and Tails saw Aleena.
"I like to introduce you to your daughter, Aleena Prower." Sonette tells him and Tails looks at her shock. "That's why I was sick." Sonette adds.
"Can I hold her?" Tails asks and Sonette giggles as she hands Aleena over. "Hey there." Tails said smiling and Aleena smiles back. "She's beautiful." Tails said as he looks at Sonette who smiles.
"She is." Sonette whispers.
"Come on, my parents would love to see you." Tails tells her and Sonette nods. They head off and walks into Amadeus' study to see Amadeus Prower, Rosemary Prower and Angel Cat.
"Mummy!" Angel shouts as she runs over and Sonette lifts her into a hug.
"Sonette." Rosemary whispers as she runs over and Sonette smiles as she looks at Tails. Rosemary smiles at Aleena. "A baby. That explains why you were sick." Rosemary said.
"Her name is Aleena." Tails tells her as he hands Aleena over.
"Aleena, after your mother." Rosemary said as Amadeus walks over.
"She's beautiful." Amadeus said. "Why did the assassins take you?" Amadeus asks.
"I was to stand trial." Sonette replies as she walks away and place her hand on her belly.
"What happened?" Sonic asks.
"I was judge, for everything I have done in the last year." Sonette replies. "The elders, the ones who judge me, have decided on my punishment. It took them the six months to get one. Zelda wanted to kill me, the others didn't." Sonette explains.
"What's going on Sonette?" Tails asks and Sonette turns around to face them.
"I have nine months here, then I have to go and find Dean." Sonette replies. "I have to go back to the creed." Sonette adds.
"No, not going to happen." Sonic tells her as he walks over.
"It has happened Sonic. Dean is out there. He took mother from us, he tortured me for months and now I have a daughter to think of Sonic. He could come for her. He could kill me and take her or kill us both. I cannot risk that… that monster out there. I have to take care of him. Finish what I started." Sonette explains.
"Sonette, please don't do this." Tails pleads as he walks over.
"If I don't go, I will be killed for betrayal and not following through of my punishment." Sonette tells them. "Is that what you want Tails? Aleena having no mother at all." Sonette asks.
"Of course not." Tails said, taking Sonette's hands and Sonette sighs.
"I have to go then." Sonette whispers.
"Mother." Angel said walking over.
"I have too much to lose if I don't go." Sonette adds and Tails nods, then kiss Sonette who smiles.
"We'll talk later, okay. I'm sure you would want to relax." Tails tells her and Sonette nods. Rosemary walks over and hands Aleena over.
"I think it's her nap time anyway." Sonette said.
"I'll get things ready for the little on." Amadeus tells her and walks off with Rosemary. Angel walks over and Sonette drops down to her knees so Angel can meet Aleena.
"She's cute." Angel said.
"Yeah, you're going to be the big sister that looks after her." Sonette said and Angel smiles
"Yeah, I am." Angel said as Manic and Sonic walks over.
"Like you with Sonia." Sonic said and Sonette smiles. Angel kiss Aleena on the forehead.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Angel whispers to Aleena. Sonette giggles as she stands up and Tails place his hand on Sonette's arm.
"I'm tried." Sonette whispers.
"Come on." Tails said as Angel runs to Sonic. Sonette nods and the pair walks off. "So you only get nine months." Tails starts and Sonette sighs.
"It's the best they gave me. It could be worse. I could have been killed." Sonette tells him.
"True, you're here. You are safe. That's all the matters right now." Tails tells her and Sonette smiles. "Aleena is a beautiful name, I'm just sorry I wasn't there." Tails adds.
"I really wish you were there." Sonette admits as they walk into their room.
"I'm here now." Tails said and smiles. Sonette yawns as she walks over to the bed and lies down in the middle of the bed. She then felt Tails lay behind her so she looks back and smiles as Tails wraps his arm over her waist. "My parents can take care of everything. I want to be with you." Tails tells her.
"That's sweet." Sonette whispers as she face forwards and looks at Aleena who slowly falls asleep. Sonette smiles as she closes her eyes and tries to get some sleep.
