The power within

The Sol dimension was really peaceful and nothing could have been better.

Everyone in the kingdom was absolutely joyful since their king and queen ruled together quite fairly and had created a reign of harmony and, in spite of their king's heritage, they had grew to love and respect both monarchs. The kingdom of Sol where Queen Blaze and her king, Silver the hedgehog, had been relatively peaceful and and were eagerly anticipating an event that made everybody in the kingdom feel thrilled beyond belief:

The birth of the new heir to the throne.

The sun was setting and night was drawing in as the time for Silver and Blaze to bid their subjects goodnight was growing closer and closer.

There was a problem, though.

The queen was nowhere to be found.

Silver was a bit worried when he didn't find his wife, Blaze, in the bed where she should have been at the moment; she was nearing her eighth month of pregnancy and she shouldn't have been up and wandering about unsupervised.

He was searching for her high and low as he ventured down the hallway with desperation growing fear in his eyes. He was still trying to traverse the castle corridors and he couldn't help but find the fact that his own home was a labyrinth very infuriating and he even muttered crossly beneath his breath while he lumbered down the hallway, his eyes wildly darting around to catch a peek of his wife.

Where could she be?

The hedgehog decided to check the nursery where the baby would eventually go to sleep and play in.

That was the only place where Blaze would like to hang out.

The only reason he hadn't checked there yet was because he had been really frantic in trying to find her and, even though he had asked every maid and butler and other staff if they had known where she had gone and they hadn't seen her and the nursery was the only logical place left. Plus, he had begged her not to leave the castle without him or an escort just encase she did go into labour right then and there so he doubt he had left the tower.

He kept wandering and wandering but it felt as though each speed-step was the slowest stride he'd ever made in his life —all the while, the platinum-furred hedgehog glanced around as he sped-walked around the palace hallways, trying to catch a glimpse of his dearly beloved.

He eventually made it to the nursery.

The hedgehog peered into the room after just opening the door so he could get a good look into the room.

The room was quite big and expansive; the floors were made of carnelian while the walls were tall, high and made of marble. The huge room had a small compact wardrobe stuffed into one corner and there was a small changing table tucked into another corner, and there was a few special glow-in-the dark stones that rested on the window sill. The centrepiece of the room was a small cradle painted purple with a mobile hanging above it that had chaos emerald-like pieces dangling from it. There was a wooden rocking horse and, next to it, was a toy box that contained loads and loads of toys that the citizens of the kingdom had kindly donated to give to the new princess. There was a large window that doubled as a door that led out to a small balcony, a veil-like curtain hung from it and gently blew in the breeze that blew into the room.

Blaze was in the corner of the room.

She was seated in a rocking chair with a hand placed over her belly and she had nothing but love in her eyes as she used her foot to tip the chair back and forth in a steady rhythm. She seemed completely entranced on stroking her huge baby bump. She hardly seemed to notice her husband's presence until he came marching into the room with a look of panic written plainly across his face.

"B-Blaze! You had me worried sick! Why didn't you have someone help you?!"

Blaze was surprised and replied to his question, furrowing her brow at him.

"What? I can't go where I wish in my castle?" She asked with a hint of annoyance of being disrupted.

Silver tried to calm himself but he felt like a coiled spring of emotions and he was pretty sure that if he wasn't covered from head-to-toe in fur then his face would have become as bright red as a tomato with the tips of his ears blowing smoke. He felt as though his own heart was trying to force its way out of his chest and his pulse was stirring hard inside of him, the palms of his hands were seeping with sweat and shaking. His knees were trembling and the fur on his chest was bristling.

He felt a severe tremor crumble down his spine.

He exclaimed, voice still panicky, "O-O-Of course you can! But Wh-What if you went into labour suddenly and n-nobody was around to help!? What if you tripped over and landed on your stomach!? What if you, you, you-"

"SILVER."

Silver stopped ranting and looked over at Blaze whom had cut him off before he could go into a ramble. She had raised the palm of her right hand that contained a burning and crackling ball of flame. She had a stern note in her voice as she narrowed her eyes at her husband but she still somehow retained a patient expression as she folded her arms across her chest. Her tail was rigid due to irritation and she had stopped rocking in her chair.

An awkward silence brewed between the two of them.

It felt like time had slowed to a torturous crawl.

The king hedgehog looked at his wife and patiently awaited for her to break the ice.

Then she did.

Blaze closed her eyes for a second, calming herself as she then reopened them and locked her gaze with the hedgehog's and clasped her own hands together. In that moment she was the epitome of graceful whilst she spoke in a much calmer and patient tone of voice.

She was strict and to the point.

"Silver. I understand that you are fearful for our baby, as am I. Alas you also must understand that I am not feeble or helpless. I am not some queen that needs to be protected 24/7. I have been strong my whole life and our child shall be just as strong but you need to trust me." Blaze quirked a dubious brow at Silver, noticing that he seemed far calmer now, "Do you understand?"

The kingly hedgehog had this deflated look about him as he nodded, looking thoroughly ashamed. His ears dropped, his bottom lip quivered, his posture sunk towards the ground, and his five hair pieces wilted like unwatered flowers.

He even made a puppy-like whine.

"...Y-Yeah. You're right, you're right. It's a bit excessive, isn't it?" He frowned as he eyed Blaze sincerely, "Sorry about that, dear..."

Blaze rolled her eyes at her husband but she couldn't keep a smile from appearing on her show white muzzle; she knew that Silver didn't mean any harm and was simply wanting the best for their youngling and there was nothing wrong with that, but that didn't mean that she was willing to tolerate being treated as though she was a fragile flower that would fall apart if receiving even the softest of pokes.

She extinguished the flame in her hand and shook her head.

Seeing Silver look like a kicked puppy made her heart droop slightly.

She couldn't stay angry at him.

"Oh, alright. Come over here..." She sighed, beckoning him over.

Silver seemed to brighten a bit as he lumbered over to the cat still seated in the rocking chair and sunk into her waiting embrace as she furled her arms around him. She minded the cape he was wearing and the two shared a loving embrace that felt more like a reconciliation of a couple who just fought...even though they didn't, really.

The guardian of the Sol emeralds and the futuristic hedgehog didn't move for awhile, they just snuggled each other and said nothing as minutes ticked by.

It didn't take too long before Silver spoke up once again.

He peeled himself out of his wife's embrace and bowed at her feet by proceeding to drop to one knee.

"What can I get for you, my queen?" He put on his most faux and chivalrous voice and lifted his head and dutifully grinned. He was obviously ready to do anything he could to make his pregnant wife comfortable, and he started to throw out suggestions for what he could do and it was obvious to his wife that he was willing to do absolutely anything to make Blaze happy.

"Ya hungry? Need your feet rubbed? Want me to run to the market to get whatever your heart desires? Anything?"

Blaze couldn't help but giggle as her cheeks flushed scarlet and she placed her hand over her mouth to stifle her little burst of laughter. She felt so happy that she married Silver and she knew that Silver couldn't have been anymore dutiful and loyal and sweet than he already was and she was overjoyed to have such a loving and supportive husband.

"Just having you here is enough for me, Silver..."

Silver couldn't help but chuckle himself whilst he dropped to his knee and peppered a few little kisses on her swollen abdomen and, with each little kiss, the hedgehog felt his unborn son or daughter move and shift around inside their mother's tummy. Feeling the unborn life move around whenever his hand would be placed upon his wife's abdomen felt so strange to him but he also felt a huge and overpowering sense of pride and joy.

He couldn't help but look up at his dearly beloved adoringly with his eyes shimmering.

"For you, my love, I'd fight against the world..."

Blaze bent down while Silver leaned up until the two felt their muzzles meet; they closed their eyes and they shared a sweet, tender kiss together. It was a wonderful moment and neither of the couple ever wanted to be pried apart since they adored one another so much.

Silver could even felt his tail wag out of happiness while Blaze's tail swished out of contentment.

The former turned back to his wife's baby belly and started to lightly tickle his wife's tummy and he planted an eskimo kiss on it, and then his mood brightened up to the point where it seemed absolutely impossible to tell if he had actually broken the limit of how joyful one could be, and he spoke in a sappy honeyed tone.

He felt his heart almost explode.

"Awww! Cootchie-cootchie-coo, dada wuvs you, yes he does!"

Silver's chuckled again, feeling absolute joy at feeling his child move around in Blaze's stomach. His child was going to be so powerful and he couldn't wait...but then he had to wonder what kind of abilities he or she would be able to wield? Of course he didn't care yet he couldn't fend off the curiosity that started to plague his mind.

He lovingly nuzzled the cat's swollen stomach and cooed.

"I wonder if they will be able to control fire or have psychokinesis?" He voiced his thoughts.

Blaze nodded her head in agreement, clearly had the same thoughts as he did. The thought had crossed her mind a few times before but she didn't wish to dwell on it until the child was actually born as to cause herself to get more excited and would have to use all of her patience and self-restraint.

The questions crossed her mind regardless:

Would the baby have Pyrokinesis or Psychokinesis? Would they have a mixture of both abilities? Would the baby have a totally different ability? Would they have any abilities at all?

The lilac cat queen felt her ears perk up when she finally let her mind refocus itself so she could be fully invested in the conversation and found that she had been so lost in thought that she hadn't noticed that Silver had dismissed the thought completely and had changed the subject.

"Y'know, Blazie, I think I have an idea of what to name them if they're a girl." He declared.

Blaze looked down at her husband and looked at him with a patient yet curious look on her face. She was curious as to what this suggestion would be because she had been pondering of a good name and she did actually have a few ideas and she was really intrigued as to hear his suggestion.

Silver smiled up at her and spoke, quietly.

"Iris."

Blaze thought about that name. Iris. It was a lovely name, admittedly, and she could feel her heart swell with warmth. She couldn't help but let the name bounce around in her head and she tilted her head to one side in pure confusion and let her gaze lower on her huge abdomen, and looked down at her husband. She repeated the name and let it roll off of her tongue —not only to experiment the name vocally but to also ask Silver why that name of all names?

"Iris?"

Silver nodded and explained his choice of suggestion, a ginormous smile spreading across his muzzle.

"Yep. It sounds like a pretty name, I think."

The king and queen of the Sol kingdom felt so cheerful and excited about their coming bundle of joy and couldn't wait until they became parents, however they felt really nervous about being parents. Would they be any good? The pair didn't have a single solitary idea what kind of abilities their baby would have yet they had a feeling that their child would be very powerful.

Blaze rubbed her enlarged stomach and Silver placed his hand on top of hers.

They just couldn't wait to meet their little boy or girl.
