An alarm wakes Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic turns the alarm off and sighs as he looks next to him to see Sophia Rose fast asleep and 6 months pregnant to their second child. Sophia yawns and looks at Sonic who smiles at her
"Morning" Sophia whispers
"Morning" Sonic whispers back. Sophia moans as she got up and headed off. Sonic looks around and smiles as he got up. He has finally slowed down and has an offices job. Sonic walks out into the hallway and down stairs to see a 14 year old Lilith the Hedgehog, ready for school
"Morning Uncle Sonic" Lilith said
"Why are you ready for earlier" Sonic asks
"I have to go by Tyler's place to pick him up today" Lilith said "I told you Uncle Sonic"
"Right, have a great day Lilith" Sonic said and Lilith smiles as she runs out. Sonic sighs, Lilith reminds him a lot of Sonette. Sonic then walks into the kitchen to see Sophia with a little hedgehog, his daughter. She has cobalt blue fur, short light green hair and emerald green eyes. Her name is Amelia Rose; she's 4 years old
"Slow down Amelia" Sophia said
"Daddy" Amelia said running over and jumps at Sonic who picks her up
"Hey baby" Sonic said
"Come on Sonic" Sophia said
"Ok" Sonic said sitting Amelia down who walks after Sophia. Sonic then starts to make his coffee and Sophia walks back over, handing him the newspaper "Thanks" Sonic said
"Sonic, we need to talk about Lilith" Sophia started
"What about her?" Sonic asks
"She's getting to the age where she will ask about her parents" Sophia told him and Sonic sighs as he remembers Sonette's death
"I can't go down that road" Sonic said
"Get ready for work, we'll talk tonight" Sophia told him and Sonic walks up to his room. He then gets dress, now wearing a black suit with a white blouse and black tie, white gloves and black leather shoes. He then saw his red sneakers and sighs; he doesn't have time to run anymore. He then walks down stairs and saw Sophia making him breakfast
"Thanks" Sonic said as Sophia hands the plate over with toast on it
"Mummy" they then heard Amelia shout and Sophia walks off as Sonic starts eating. Sophia then walks back with Amelia right behind her
"Can we go to the park today?" Amelia asks Sophia
"Not today baby" Sophia replies and Sonic finishes eating
"Hey Amelia, who don't you go to your room for a sec" Sonic said and Amelia runs off. Sonic puts the plate down and walks up to Sophia who turns around
"We got a letter yesterday, about the ceremony. It has been 10 years since Eggman killed all those people"
"I can't go Sophia" Sonic said "They'll say I'm a hero but I killed my sister. How does that make me a hero?"
"I know Sonic but Lilith, she wants to go and she wants you to go" Sophia said
"I'll deal with this later" Sonic said and kiss Sophia "I love you"
"I love you too" Sophia said. Sonic kiss Sophia's belly and Sophia smiles
"I go and get my 6 month check-up today, I'll also find out what we are having" Sophia explains
"It's a boy, I know it" Sonic said "I better go, see you tonight and take it easy"
"I will" Sophia said and Sonic heads out, grabbing his briefcase and keys on the way. He then gets in his car and heads to work. He then sighs as he listens to the radio
"It has been told that Mr Sonic the Hedgehog will not be coming to the ceremony. It is unsure why the hero will not be coming-" the radio man said and Sonic turns it off before he could finish. Once at work, Sonic parked under the building and took the elevator up. He left G.U.N behind, they did offer him a job but he turned it down. Once the door open, Sonic saw Allison Rose at the desk. Sonic walks over and Allison smiles
"Morning Sonic" Allison greeted
"Morning, how are you?" Sonic asks
"Well, how's Sophia and Amelia" Allison asks
"They're great though Sophia wants to talk about Sonette and the ceremony" Sonic replies
"You're not going" Allison said "I don't think any of us are going"
"I better go, talk to you at lunch ok" Sonic said
"Ok" Allison said and Sonic walks off to his desk. Once there, Silver the Hedgehog walks over and Sonic smiles. Silver left G.U.N with Sonic
"Hey Silver" Sonic greeted
"How are you?" Silver asks
"I'll be fine when this ceremony thing blows over" Sonic replies
"Blaze and I have agreed not to go" Silver told him
"They think I'm some hero" Sonic said "I killed Sonette" he then said softly and Silver places his hand on Sonic's shoulder
"Take it easy today" Silver told him
"I will, see you around" Sonic said and Silver walks off. Sonic sighs as he started working to keep his mind busy

Sophia made it to Fiona the Fox's place and sighs as she got out and walks up to the front door with Amelia who is wearing a red top, demon overalls, red and white sneakers and white gloves with gold bracelets right behind her. Sophia knocks and waits. Then Fiona the Fox opens the door and smiles at Sophia
"Come on in" Fiona said and Sophia walks in with Amelia. Sophia walks into the lounge room to see Rouge the Bat with her and Knuckles' daughter, Katie the Echidna who is 2 years told. She has red fur, blue green eyes and is wearing a green and pink dress, green shoes, gold headband and white gloves.
"Hey Sophia" Rouge greeted
"Rouge, Katie" Sophia said as Amelia runs over to Katie and sits down with her, playing with the toys
"So she starts school next year" Fiona said
"Yeah, she starts and I have the new one on his way" Sophia replies
"Hang on, Melissa!" Fiona called and a young fox cub runs out. She has green with white on her muzzle and tail, short brown hair, icy blue eyes and is wearing a blue top, demon shorts, black and blue sneakers and white gloves
"Amelia" Melissa said running over
"I can't wait till she starts next year too" Fiona said as she place her hand on her belly
"Are you ok?" Sophia asks, Fiona is 3 months pregnant
"Yeah, I'm fine" Fiona replies
"Thank goodness we are going to get you check" Rouge said "And you" she then said to Sophia
"I'm more worried about Fiona" Sophia said
"Hey, I'm fine" Fiona said smiling "Did you talk to Sonic"
"I tried to this morning but…this is hard on us, all of us and you know that. I mean with Lilith and this silly ceremony" Sophia said as the trio walks into the kitchen
"No one from the Sonic Team is going" Rouge said
"I can't go" Sophia whispers "Amy and Sonette and Teagan, I can't go there"
"None of us can" Rouge added
"Lilith wants to go" Sophia told them
"Does Sonic know?" Fiona asks
"I told him this morning" Sophia replies "I don't know what to do anymore"
"Hey, you'll figure it out" Fiona said taking her hands
"Right" Sophia whispers smiling
