The Tale Of Two Hearts Chapter 2

Guess What?

I awoke the next morning the sun shinning softly in my eyes. The curtains had been pulled back to allow the sunlight. I truned over and found the space beside me to be empty. The love that was holding me was no where in sight. I sat up holding the small sheet over my chest and looked around. There was no sign of Tails Where had he gone?

"Tails!" I called out to him. I sighed a bit annoyed as I was about to get out of bed. While doing so I felt strong arms pull me back onto the bed. I almost yelped out but turned to see the fox smiling at me.

"Sorry I didn't answer you. I was making you breakfast."

"Making me breakfast? Tails you didn't have to. You know I can-." He silenced me with his lips as he kissed me softly holding me. When he pulled away he looked at me his glowing eyes shining the soft blue thanks to the sunlight.

"Let me spoil you please. I want to thank you for carrying my child." I blushed softly as I looked at him. It was why we had our celebration last night. I was with child now. I stopped as I thought about it and then looked around. The place we had now was way too small for a child it only having one bedroom. I watched as he walked out of the room and soon returned with the food I had made for last night but we never got a chance to eat. I smiled softly and stuffed a laughed. "I told you we would eat it for breakfast." I nodded softly as he sat down beside me and we started to eat.

"Tails, I was just thinking. Our home it's not big enough for a baby." Tails picked up a fork as he cut the lager pieces of meat.

"I know Serenity I was looking at that this morning when I got up. Don't worry I'm gonna get the guys over here and we are going to make a room for the baby." I smiled softly. I should have known he was thinking of hat. He was always a step ahead of me which sometimes was good and sometimes it was annoying. I pouted softly as I looked away from him. He knew what that ment and he smiled as he pushed a forkful of food in my mouth. I growled lightly and looked at him. "Don't start acting like a child Serenity."

"I'm not acting like a child."

"Oh please look at you pouting." I turned away from hims ticking my nose up in the air. Tails grinned softly as he looked at the vixen. She was acting out because he was right as always. He leaned over and softly kissed her neck and purred softly and held her again. "Serenity, this should be a good time for us. Remember how long we have been working to have a cub. Now look there is one on the way now."

My ears burned softly as I smiled. He was right after time and time again of disappointment we had finally conceived. "Come on we should eat and get ready to go and see the others. I know Sonic is wondering what happened. " I blinked softly. I should have guessed he leaked something to Sonic. In turned he went and told Sally who told Bunnie so by this time the whole city were most likely awaiting the news of the my status.

The two of us were now walking down one of the main streets. I looked at Tails and smiled happily as we soon came to the palace. Sonic and Sally had wanted us to move in with them but we just wanted something simple and choose to live among everyone else in the main bridge of the city. It was a nice spot we had and we had fist pick to build out home. So much had already changed from when we were children. When Robonick was destroyed everything really started to become more advanced. Technology became the wave of the future. Many of the lucky ones who either played a large role in the defeat of Robonick or were smart enough to help create many of the advances we had now were in good sprits. Tails and I had both.

As we walked we could see many of the people drive past and what we called Auto Cars. They ran on electricity and water. Many of the new technologies ran on natural sources like water, wind and the sun. Being the head of the housing and building attributes it was my duty that any thing that was created for homes ran on such recourses and not on fuels that caused smog, which was what many of Robonick's machines were made out of. It had all been for good reason but sometimes I would find myself tired and just wishing to go home and relax. I knew soon she would be on Maternity Leave because she was expecting. I had to admit, looking at all he homes and some of the buildings as they walked past. It was nice to look at my work. It had taken years to develop and it was going to be a while before the full project would be complete.

We soon arrived at the gates of the palace where two guards stood in front of large gates with the castle sitting in the background. The two guards moved to the side and opened the gates. Of course we had ID but we were considered High Class because we knew Sonic and Sally. We walked up the large brick road and looked at the garden. It was so nicely put together. Sally had poured her heart and soul into the place.

Speaking of whom, we saw the chipmunk in one of her gardens as we walked closer to the castle. She saw us and waved softly as we soon stood in front of her. She had changed so much. She dressed in a slick brown yellow gown that showed her figure. The crown was placed softly on her head softly covered by her long glowing hair. Her bouncy eyes looked at us as she stood up and walked over hugging us both.

Sally smiled happily seeing the two kits. It had been a while even though they did not live far everyone was so busy with there new lives. She knew that the both of them had been busy with there work.

"I heard that you had to visit the doctor again Serenity. You and Tails still trying to have a baby right?" I nodded softly. I knew she had to know since Sonic tell her everything.

"Yes, well we came here to well. Were going to need Sonic's help to build a baby room." Sally eyes went wide as she hugged Serenity happily.

"Congratulations! I knew it was only a matter of time before it would happen." Sally went and hugged Tails happily. Sonic had told her the fox was worried something was wrong with him and for that reason that was why they had not been able to conceive. Now that was not the case and she hoped that helped Tails to see nothing was wrong with him or Serenity.

The fox smiled softly as he pulled me close. Sally then turned and we followed inside to see the King himself. Of course when we walked in he was reading a comic book. Sally cleared her throat and he soon stuffed it into his top drawer. He looked and saw the two of us standing behind her.

"Hey if it isn't my famil here to visit. My little bro and sis. What brings you here? Come to save me so we can go out?" I laughed softly Sonic would never change his ways. He was a goof off when we were children and he was still one now.

"Well Sonic, we thought you can help in some redecorating."

"Redecorating? Serenity I thought that was more of your thing." I smiled softly as I looked over at Tails. I knew he wanted to tell him so I didn't want to spoil it for him. I watched as the kitsune walked over to his best friend and sat on the desk.

"No Sonic that isn't what she means. I have a project to do. I need some help building a room for the baby." Sonic sat there for a minute or two. He then snapped out of his gaze, it must have been a temporally shocked, as he got up.

"Shut up! Serenity is pregnant! Way to go Tails I knew your men were good to go!" I looked down feeling my ears burn. But before I could react I was being hugged tightly by the hedgehog. I laughed softly and hugged him back. "Way to go Serenity. So you got a bun in that oven of yours took long enough." I growl weakly at him and blush softly.

"Do you have to talk like that?"

"Oh come on Serenity don't start acting all girly on me. You're a tomboy." I looked away from him. It was true I was still a tomboy at heart. I did a lot of the work and avoided being in meeting because I hated dressing up.

Sonic let the vixen go and looked at Tails. " So what help do you need tails? You know I will do it." Tails grinned at Sonic.

"Well for one I need to call Knuckles and Rotor so they can help too."

"Sure Tails, your worse then Sally. You just want to tell them that Serenity is pregnant now."

"So what? I'm happy and I want to tell all my close friends. I mean knuckles and Rotor have been there for me almost just as much as you have. I am sure they will be happy for us."

"Not to mention Julie-su. She's been wondering when the two of you were gonna have some pups of your own."

Tails smiled as he walked over and picked up the phone they had in the office. He dialed the echidna's number and soon the phone was picked up.

"Hello?" It was the voice of Julie-su. Tails knew she would have been the one to pick the phone up.

"Hi Julie-su its me Tails. I was wondering if Knuckles was around."

"No, you know how he gets. He's at the hall where the Master Emerald is. Why do you need him?"

"I was going to ask for his help. Me and Serenity well we need to build a new room for the baby." Tails pulled the phone away from his ear as the female echidna screamed.

"Serenity is having a baby!" Tails laughed softly.

"Yes she is."

"I'll call Knuckles and tell him right away." The fox soon heard a click and he hung the phone up.

"Well Julie-su said she would call Knuckles for me and relay the message. I am sure he will call very soon."

I lookd at Tails for a moment and then walked over and sat down in a chair. In such little time things had changed so much and the rush was getting to me. He looked at me a bit worried.

"Serenity are you alright?"

"I'm fine my love. It's just so much has happened and I guess I'm a little overwhelmed"He walked over to me and hugged me softly. I smiled and took a deep breath out as I held onto him. He could always relax me and make me feel better. He held me softly and kissed my forehead.

"I will be by your side through all of this."

"Do you mean it? Your not going to pass out in the delivery room like someone else did." I turned and looked at Sonic. He grinned lightly and turned away a bit.

"You don't have to worry about Tails Serenity. He's the youngest out of us guys but he acts like he is the oldest. I am sure he will be fine when that day comes." Sally by this time had walked over to me.

"We will worry when that day comes. For right now we need to think of the patterns and decorations we are going to have for the baby room." I smiled softly and looked at Sally. I had been there when she and Julie-su had there times picking out things for there babies. Now it was my turn to be the expected mother and chose such things.

"Your right, I can't wait." I smiled softly as I looked at Sally and then the sickness came in and I found myself running into the bathroom. That was when it all started and I really knew I would be giving birth in the future.
