Tails ran desperately through brightly lit halls of a hospital. His tails spinning faster

than they ever had in their life, he needed to get there... hours before, he'd received the call; his wife was in labor.. Tails - now 29 years old - burst into the hospital room to see his wife, Sticks, holding two newborn infants; a boy and a girl.

At the sound of his abrupt entrance, Sticks head snapped up, and a smile blossomed on her face at the sight of her husband. He stood for a moment in the doorway, his tails moving back and forth nervously. This was it. The moment they had waited nine months for. He was going to meet his new family. Gulping, he walked over, and Sticks moved into a more comfortable position, making sure to angle the two bundles in her arms towards their father.

"Hello dear," He muttered as he sat down, still slightly shocked to see two newborns, as they'd only expected one.

"Hello Tails" Sticks answered cuddling the newborns. The boy was a brown fox with orange paws and ice blue eyes, and, like Tails, had two tails. The girl, was a light brown badger who also sported brilliant ice blue eyes. At the sight of the squirming kits, Tails felt his heart squeeze with tenderness. He felt as though he had finally found something he hadn't even known that he was missing. His hands shook a little, as he brought them close to the babies to stroke their foreheads gently.

"God, I can't believe I'm a dad" he mumbled.

Sticks watched as her love gushed over their kits, a wondrous expression on his face. She smiled sweetly at him, and held the babies up.

"Want to hold them, dear?" She asked, her grin growing wider at his sudden panicked expression.

"They won't bite." She chuckled good-naturedly.

Tails narrowed his eyes at her joke, and hesitantly reached for them, before pulling away again.

"I'm just worried, I'll hurt them."

Sticks face turned a bit more serious, and she held them closer to her concerned husband.

"You won't. They're not that fragile, they're strong little kits."

Tails looked at his wife a moment more, before taking them into his arms and cradling them close to his chest. His daughter let out a little squeak, unsure of the sudden change of arms, and his son just stared up at his father with wide blue eyes.

The fox hero held the two wonders for several minutes, his mind still in a shocked state. How could he have been apart of something so beautiful? He had created something that was actually alive. These little Mobians weren't machines that he could just take apart and fix when something went wrong. Was he going to be able to be the best father for them? Could he, a robotics genius, have the smarts and know how to raise two kits? The two little ones fidgeted for a bit, before yawning and falling asleep in their father's arms. That one action calmed all of Tails' worries The yellow fox smiled, a tear shining in his eye.

"They're perfect."

"I can tell this is the start of a another adventure" Sticks responded, her eyes shining with pride.

"Yeah, and I bet it's gonna be harder than anything we ever faced" Tails replied still staring at his kids with a dreamy look on his face.

Sticks chuckled at him "You know Tails...I only saw you look at me that way"

"Well excuse me but it's not every day I get to be a father" Tails retorted his ice eyes gleaming with rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to her newborns. The peaceful moment was interrupted when they suddenly heard voices down the hall of the hospital.

"Amy, I'm sure it's this one, please stop nagging," an exasperated voice travelled from the hallway to the waiting couple's ears.

"Oh stop being such a baby, Sonic. I just want to make sure we aren't barging into some stranger's room, guns a blazing."

At that moment the door to the hospital room burst open, to reveal a pink hedgehog holding the hand of a small toddler. She was wearing a long blue dress, and her jade eyes sparkled. Sonic was scratching his head behind them, and all three entered the room with nervous smiles.

"Hey buddy," Sonic greeted in a hushed tone to Tails, "How's it going?"

Tails smiled up at his friend, his sky blue eyes tired but his children back to his wife, he rose and walked over to Sonic. They gave each other an awkward handshake, as Amy walked towards Sticks with her daughter.

"I heard from the doctor that it was fairly quick, as deliveries go, and Sticks did really well."

"That's great buddy!" Sonic exclaimed while giving Tails a hearty pat on the back. Tails gave a dorky grin, and the two males made their way to the hospital bed.

Amy was holding her daughter up to see the newborns, the toddler - who would normally be fidgeting and attempting to run around - merely stared with wide emerald eyes, as she watched the little ones slumber. She stuck out a chubby light blue furred arm, and looked up at her mother.

"Babb." She stated, her legs kicking in excitement.

Amy chuckled, and pushed the child's long bangs from her face affectionately.

"Yes, Grace. A baby. Two actually.".

Sonic came over, his wedding ring flashed in the dim light as he reached over and gently took his daughter into his arms. Amy smiled gratefully, rolling her shoulders, as Sonic kissed her on the cheek. She turned her attention to Sticks, who had been watching the scene with a tired smile, and took the badger's hand in her own.

"How ya doing hun?"

"Tired… but I could still take on an army of destroyer bots." Sticks replied, with a smirk on her face.

Amy grinned, and shook her head in mock disbelief.

"Yeah, childbirth is hard… I thought I was going to die when Grace was born."

Sonic scoffed, and Amy's head whipped around, a glare set on her face.

"What was that?" She asked, her voice taking on a dangerous tone.

Sonic rolled his his eyes, and adjusted his hold on Grace, who was currently playing with some of his quills.

"More like you almost killed me, with the way you were pulling my arm from its socket, like some crazy maniac" Sonic snorted.

"Well, I'm soo sorry but you weren't the one giving birth and it's a lot more painful than you think!" Amy retorted giving him a glare. Everyone was laughing when the sound of a door opening caused them to look up. Tails turned and saw his brother standing there, D.T. walked over and patted Tails on the back

"Hey bro, looks like i'm not the only one of the Prower brothers who gets to be a dad" he laughed. Tails saw the somewhat pained expression in his brother's eyes as he fiddled with the chain around his neck, the one that held two wedding rings, D.T.'s and his late wife's, Maria's.

" Hey man, I wish she was here too." Tails replied, as he returned the pat to the back. D.T. gave a sad smile, his hands still resting on those rings that lay close to his heart.

Then as though nothing had happened, his face morphed into a smirk, and he turned his attention to the hospital bed.

"So… where's my niece and nephew?"

Sticks yawned, as she angled the two little bundles towards their expectant uncle. D.T. gazed at the twins, his eyes a little wet at the sight. There was a silence in the room, as everyone admired the two newly born kits. The only sound to be heard was the steady thump thump of Grace, who was currently playing with a toy on the floor of the room.

"Do they have names?" D.T. asked, curious.

Tails, who had been in a sort of trance as he looked upon his new family, slowly looked up, and saw that everyone was looking at them expectantly. "Well we decided to name them Cole and Jessica" Tails answered.

"They're gonna have a pretty big reputation to live up too" Sonic joked, as Amy smacked him on the shoulder.

"Yeah," Tails said as he looked out the window, his heart filled with excitement about what the future held.

"Yeah, they will."
