"Morning momma!" screamed two hoglet children racing to the table. Amy Rose turned around and smiled watching them take their seats.
Amy Rose was a fully matured woman with a youthful glow. She grew slightly taller but was still a few inches shorter than Sonic. Her quills resembled long hair that flowed down her to her butt. Her lips were a rosy pink color that complimented her fair colored muzzle. She wore a flowing red dress that reached her knees with a white ribbon tied around her waist.
"Morning sweeties" greeted Amy preparing a plate of eggs and bacon. "How did you sleep?" she asked.
"Good! Ready to take on the day!" said light blue hedgehog. The first child's name was Zip the Hedgehog, who's six years old. He had light blue fur, the same shade of green eyes like his mother, and a light tannish muzzle and tummy like his father. He had sneakers like his father, but they were green instead of red.
"It was great momma." answered Dash, the baby of the bunch. She was a four year old pink hedgehog with blue tips on her quills, her father's shade of green eyes, and had a fair colored muzzle like her mother. She wore an orange dress with ruffles with small orange sandals.
Before serving breakfast, Amy paused. "Oh kids? Could you wake up your dad, he needs to eat breakfast and go to work."
"Okay!" the hoglets ran upstairs to the master bedroom to see their father snoring loudly. Sonic was still sleeping, not aware that the alarm rang fifteen minutes ago.
"Daddy, wake up!" Dash yelled, pulling on his quill." Sonic's left ear twitched but he still was in deep sleep. "Daddy's such a heavy sleeper, he's gonna be late for work."
"I got this, sis" said Zip, preparing for a spin dash. "WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEAD!" he screamed while spin dashing on his dad's tummy. Sonic woke up immediately. "D-Dammit!" yelled Sonic. Zip jumped off.
"Run sis, run!" Zip yelled grabbing her sister's hand dashing out.
Sonic rubbed his tummy in pain. "A-ah… he's getting stronger everyday.." Sonic's eyes gazed to the clock. "Damn it's breakfast!" Sonic wasted no time getting ready for work; although he was much slower than ever these days. While brushing his quills, Sonic often reminisced about the glory days as him as a hero, stopping Eggman, saving the animals, and running where ever and whenever he wanted. He didn't regret settling down with Amy and having children, in fact he made them his number one priority, but he missed those years.
Sonic walked downstairs instead of running, he wasn't looking forward to work especially with his boss, but someone needed to put chilidogs on the table for the family. He and Amy moved their family to a part in Central Square; it was a change moving from his parents' house but bills needed to be paid. On the bright side, ever since the kids started going to school, Amy started to open up her floral business along with her best friend Cream the Rabbit, who is now pregnant with Tails' child.
"Sup, fam." greeted the blue hedgehog, wearing a white button down shirt, a red tie, and red sneakers. He sat with this children, waiting to be served breakfast by his wife.
"Daddy!" the kids yelled, hugging him.
"Morning, dear." Amy smiled, serving him warm eggs, bacon, and toast.
Sonic kissed his wife gently. "Mmm, mornin', M'lady" he spoke in a regal tone. The kids gagged, watching their parents be lovey dovey.
"Oh and Zip the hedgehog, I got a call from the substitute teacher yesterday. He said you were disrupting the class!" Amy said while pouring orange juice. Zip's ears flopped.
"Alright! My boy's the class rebel!" Sonic cheered, giving a thumbs up. Amy glared, causing Sonic to change his tone of voice to a serious tone.
"and for that no chilidogs tonight!"
"Daaaaaad" he whined.
"Fine, chilidogs but no dessert."
Amy sat down with her plate "Alright kids, you're gonna be late. Put your plates in the sink and give mommy and daddy a kiss."
The kids obeyed and said their goodbyes, leaving Sonic and Amy to eat alone in peace.
"Rouge's birthday party is tomorrow." reminded Amy. Sonic nodded while eating his bacon. The room was silent until Sonic spoke.
"Hey Ames?" he asked.
"Hmm?"
"Ever wondered what it'd be like to go on adventures again like we did years ago?" Sonic looked at a picture with him and his friends. "Busting badniks, Dr. Egghead, and all the other villains."
Amy blinked twice. "Uh Sonic, that was years ago, now we have children. We don't want to put them in any danger. Besides, having kids means many adventures, just not as much running unless you're chasing them at a toy store."
Sonic pouted like a child. "Yeeaah..but I mean real adventures." Amy sighed softly and took both of their plates.
"Sonic, everyone is settling down. Shadow married Rouge and has two daughters, Cream and Tails are together with a baby coming, Knuckles and Tikal have a son, Silver and Blaze have three children, Vector married Vanilla, Charmy has a girlfriend, Espio's with Sonia, and Manic is…uhh"
Sonic shrugged "Beats me, heard he's traveling with a band gettin stoned."
"I know it's slow paced now, but raising our kids will be worth it." She kissed his cheek. "Now you need to go to work, you know how your boss feels about being late."
"Fine..." Sonic mumbled. "See ya later." Sonic ran out of the house leaving a trail of smoke.
Amy looked at the counter, "Guess he didn't forget his lunchbox this time." She sighed, thinking about what Sonic said earlier.
"I hope he doesn't regret all this…" she thought. "I need to get ready for work."
