Rock-a-Bye

Summary: When Sonia reveals to Bartleby that she is pregnant with his baby, the rich mink has to face some hard truths. Unable to tell her brothers because of their opinion of Bartleby, and unable to legally be together because of Robotnik, the lovers decide the only option is to runaway together. However, it won't be that easy, running from the Fastest Thing Alive and an entire army.

Prologue

Sonia Hedgehog; daughter of Queen Aleena, triplet sister of Sonic and Manic Hedgehog, formerly the ward of Lady Wyndimere, she had many titles. But if you asked her which one she liked best, she would be unable to tell you, for it was a secret. Only one person in all of Mobius would ever call her by this title.

Laying in a large four-poster bed, her head on his chest, gentle, loving fingers running through her hair, she smiled contentedly. "My Sonia, my love," he would whisper as he caressed her.

She looked up into his deep green eyes. "My Bartleby," she whispered back, her fingers running along the path of his chests, treasuring their closeness. "It will be dawn soon."

His eyes went to the window. "Do you really have to leave?"

Sonia sighed. "Oh Bartleby, you ask me every time. You know I have to. My brothers will wonder where I am if they wake up and I'm not there. They nearly caught me last time. And if Robotnik finds out about us..." she left the fear unfinished.

The mink held her hand, placing tender kisses upon it. "I miss you when you go though. You could always let me speak to Dr. Robotnik for you. I know he would give you a pardon if I asked, then we could be together."

"Bartleby, someday soon we will be together," she promised. "It's why I have to fight, for that day."

He knew he would not win. They had this discussion every time and she was unwavering in her convictions. He supposed she might not be the same hedgehog he loved so dearly if she gave in, though. He didn't want to admit it but her part in the Resistance brought out a side to her that he couldn't get enough of.

Therefore, instead of pressuring her further, he reluctantly let her go and got out of bed with her, putting his robe about him while she dressed. "You will be careful my darling?" he asked as he walked her to the door. "You won't force me to hear that you've been roboticized? Or worse?"

She kissed him in reply. "I promise, Bartleby, I'll be careful."

He stared off after her as she left his suddenly lonely mansion.

That was three weeks ago, Sonia thought as she stood in the bathroom at the base waiting. In a small cup, a thin stick-like device sat. She looked at her watch with anticipation. She was unsure what she wanted the answer to be. If it was no, how would she feel? If it was yes, what would she do?

When the three minutes had elapsed, at last, Sonia pulled the test from the cup. Two thin pink lines stared her in the face.

AN: Yes another pregnancy plotline. However this time, that is the MAIN focus of this story. How will our lovers deal with this big change?
