Wow, another new story! I'm just full of new ideas today! This one chapter was inspired, a bit, by my aunt's wedding. The rest of the story I thought up myself. Oh, and another thing: Sonic and co belong to Sega.
Warning: it's rated T, or maybe, if I have to change it later, M, because of some intense sexual scenes, some possible swearing, and, duh, the fact that there's HETERO, not homo, mpreg.
I just luv mpreg... I only dislike gay couplings. So, if you don't like mpreg, then don't read.
Unexpected
Marriage… it's a complicated thing, and one of the most important things in a person's life. It's not all that it's cracked up to be, there's a lot of planning and other things to do that don't seem as hard as they really are. And then there's the small fear a man always feels the day of the wedding. The fear of whether I'm ready for this, if I've made the right choice, if I'm prepared for what's to come. Forget what people say about weddings being amazing… take it from someone who's been married, they're not fun! Don't get me wrong, I love my wife more than anything, but I'm just glad it's over!
My name is Knuckles the echidna. I'm 22 years old, I'm a virgin, as far as you know, and I've just been married to the girl of my dreams. This is the story about how our life turned upside down, with just one little unexpected event.
Knuckles the echidna and Ruby the hedge-echidna were sitting at their table during the after party, their closest friends sitting with them. They consisted of Sonic the hedgehog, Amy Rose the hedgehog, Tails the fox, Cream the rabbit, Shadow the hedgehog, Rouge the bat, Silver the hedgehog, and Blaze the cat. It was a considerably small wedding, since neither of them had any real family, so it was mostly their closest friends, and a couple of others they knew, who didn't stay for the after party. So now it was just the 10 of them, enjoying a meal as friends and chatting about what they're doing with their lives. It was the picture-perfect wedding, in the bride and groom's eyes. Amy and Cream did most of the decorating, for both the church during the wedding and Sonic's home for after the wedding. The after party was held at Sonic's house was because being a hero for as long as he was, he became quite famous, and he had a bit of money. His house was nearly a mansion; it was huge, which was good for such a hyperactive speedster.
Sonic chuckled in his throat, and began to clank his spoon onto his glass, signaling he wanted them to kiss. Everyone else joined in, clanking their own glasses and cheering him to go ahead. Knuckles shook his head, smiling, before he turned to Ruby and they quickly kissed.
"Happy now?" he asked Sonic, elbowing him. Sonic put down his spoon.
"Yes, very," he snarkily replied, and he took another bite of his food.
"That was a very lovely reception Mr. and Mrs. Knuckles," Cream said kindly.
"Thank you Cream, but you helped a lot," Ruby replied, smiling. "I couldn't have planned it better myself."
"You're welcome!" Cream said happily.
"So, what're you planning to do now that you're married?" Blaze asked them.
"We're not really sure yet," Knuckles replied. "We haven't planned much past the honeymoon yet."
"Speaking of which, you never told us where you're going yet!" Amy said.
"Is it somewhere far away, like Cancun or Italy?" Silver asked.
"Actually, we're going to a small island off the coast of Rio. A friend of mine owns a private cabin on the island, and he's letting us stay there for the week," Knuckles replied.
"We've planned lots of stuff to do there," Ruby added.
"Lots of stuff, hmmm?" Sonic said, eyeing Knuckles deviously. It took Knuckles a moment to realize what Sonic was getting at, but then he grimaced and spoke angrily.
"Sonic, don't you dare even talk about that!" he said, kicking him in the leg.
"What? Now that you're married, you're free to be sexually active!" Sonic replied as if he said nothing wrong, which brought Sonic and Knuckles into another heated argument. All the while, Ruby just sat there, a bit annoyed by Sonic ruining the evening… again… but also a bit embarrassed, as she looked over at Amy with blush on her cheeks. Amy rolled her eyes and shouted over the sound.
"GUYS!" she called, and the room grew silent. "Just shut up! You're ruining the evening!" she said. Sonic sat back up straight and pulled his ears down in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything," he said. It was silent for the rest of the meal, until Sonic spoke once everyone was done.
"C'mon now, I didn't rent a DJ system so we could all just sit around! Let's dance!" Sonic said, standing up.
The rest of the evening consisted of dancing to familiar songs from when they were younger teenagers and talking. Knuckles and Ruby danced together to a song they had picked out, like all couples did on their wedding, and the groom's men and bridesmaids put together a dance as well. They ended up dancing to the song "Shots" while carrying shot glasses. It was actually kind of funny! But, before they knew it, the night was nearly over, and people started leaving. Last to leave, besides Sonic, who lived there, were the bride and groom. Sonic bent down to pick up a chair that'd been knocked over by accident, and spoke to the newlyweds.
"So, married… how does it really feel?" Sonic asked them.
"Kind of hard to believe," Ruby replied.
"Why? Hard to believe you married a hunk like me?" Knuckles joked. Ruby laughed slightly and replied.
"Well, yes, but… It's hard to believe we're married already. It feels like only a little while ago we were kids, fighting crime and being nothing more than 'just friends,'" Ruby said.
"Yeah, time sure flies," Sonic mused, as he began to move the furniture back where they used to be, before he cleared them away for the dance. "So, you guys still going to come and visit us bachelors?" Sonic asked in a joking manor.
"Of course! We'll never forget about you guys!" Ruby replied.
"Well, I know someone I could try and forget," Knuckles joked.
"Ha ha, you're hilarious!" Sonic said, slapping Knuckles on the back. "C'mon, there's no way you could forget Shadow!" Sonic said, who received a look from Knuckles. "What?" Knuckles and Ruby exchanged looks, then Knuckles spoke again.
"Nothing. Hey, I think we're gonna split now Sonic. We need to get a bit of rest if we're going to be flying all the way to Rio tomorrow," he said, looping and arm around Ruby's waist.
"Ok, see you two in a week!" Sonic said, and he hugged them both.
"Goodbye Sonic," Ruby said while she hugged him. The two of them headed out the door, and Sonic followed to the door.
"Bye bye you two crazy lovebirds!" Sonic called to them, waving, as they walked down the driveway and to their car, the one with the "just married" sign taped to the back of the car.
But that was just the beginning. Things were about to take a turn for the scary, once we got to Rio.
