Chapter 2 – Quality Time Together

After setting him down on the couch, Amy walked upstairs to her room to look for something for him to play with. Finding some toys in an old chest in her closet, she brought them downstairs to find that Sonic was no longer sitting peacefully on the couch.

"Oh Soooonnic, where did you gooo?" Amy said with a singsong voice. She walked into her kitchen to find him scavenging her refrigerator for something to eat. Some cheese and cold cuts were on the clean, tiled floor.

She laughed, "Oh you silly baby. Here, let me get you something to eat before we play."

He giggled while she strapped him into an old high-chair that she took out. Unfortunately, Amy didn't have any soft foods for Sonic. She noticed he did have some of his baby teeth and wondered if hard foods would be okay for him to eat. Thinking hard, she remembered his favorite food was chilidogs. Smirking, Amy took out some hotdogs and began to fry them on her oven.

When they were done, she sprinkled spices over the top of them and brought them over to the table. Offering Sonic a chilidog, he took it and looked at it curiously. He sniffed it once then took a bite. A big smile spread across his face as he dug into his food.

Amy smiled, "I knew you would like it, Sonic." Grabbing a chilidog of her own, she sat down next to Sonic and helped him eat his food. They both laughed when Sonic was done; he had spices and sauce all over his face. Amy took a damp rag and cleaned it off while she unstrapped the high-chair.

When Amy picked Sonic up, he kissed her lightly on the nose. He giggled as Amy's cheeks became hot and turned almost the color of her fur.

They went into the living room where Amy gave Sonic some of the toys she took out. He seemed to like them, especially the wind-up cars that zoomed off super-fast when let go. While Amy watched him, she realized that she no longer had clothes for toddlers; she threw them out when she gave up babysitting. She did, however, have some diapers left that she never threw out for some reason. When Sonic was done playing and came over to her while yawning, she took him upstairs to her bedroom.

Finding one of the old diapers in her bathroom, Amy dressed Sonic in one of her old dresses, laughing when the red dress went way past his feet. At this time Sonic was, of course, already asleep. Amy tucked him into her bed, then lay down next to him and took out a book to read.

She looked down when she felt something press up next to her and saw Sonic cuddling next to her for warmth, snoring lightly. Amy smiled, turned off the light, and began to go to sleep with him in her arms.

Amy woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She immediately looked to her left to see Sonic still cuddled next to her. I shouldn't wake him up yet; let him sleep for a while. Knowing Sonic, he might be up around noon… she thought, looking at her alarm clock. It was already 10:30!

Carefully unhooking Sonic from her arm, she walked downstairs to make some breakfast. While she was scrambling some eggs, she heard a pair of soft feet on her floor and looked behind her to see Sonic rubbing his eyes.

Amy went over to him and picked him up. "Good morning, sleepyhead! Are you hungry for some breakfast?" Sonic nodded at her. Amy put him in the high-chair and put a small plate of scrambled eggs in front of him. As he dug into his breakfast, the phone began to ring.

Amy walked over and picked up the telephone. "Hello?"

"Hi Amy!" It was Cream, Amy's best friend who lived a few buildings down from her.

"Oh, hi Cream! How have you and Cheese been?" Cheese was Cream's chao that was usually found near its owner.

"Good! Say, Amy, do you want to go see a movie at the mall? I hear they have that new Spiderman movie out now," Cream said excitedly.

Amy heard the world 'mall' and forgot all about the child in her kitchen for a minute. "A movie? That sounds great! …Oh…yeah Cream, I forgot to tell you, I'm busy babysitting."

"Babysitting? I thought you gave that up a while ago. Who is the lucky kid that gets to spend the day with you?" Cream asked.

Amy didn't want to tell her what happened to Sonic over the phone, so- "I can't really explain it on the phone, why don't you and Cheese come over and meet him yourself?"

"Sure, Amy! I'd love to meet him! See you soon!" Cream said as she hung up the phone.

Amy put the phone back in its charger and walked over to where Sonic had finished his eggs. He held the plate out in front of him, as if asking for more.

"Of course you can have more, Sonikku, you can have all that you want to eat!" As she placed a new plate in front of him, she said, "Guess what? Cream and Cheese are gonna come over here to play with us!"

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Amy walked over to the door and opened it, revealing Cream and Cheese.

Amy hugged her best friend. "Hey, Cream! Hi, Cheese! Come in, make yourselves at home!"

"Thanks! So, where's this kid that you somehow cannot describe him on the phone?" Cream teased. Amy led her to the kitchen, where Sonic was still sitting in his high-chair, eating the eggs. Amy took him out of it and passed him to Cream. Sonic looked up at her curiously, and then began playing with one of Cream's long rabbit ears. Cheese floated next to the child and looked at it in Cream's arms.

"Aww, that is so cute! You know….he kinda reminds me of someone I know…now who could it be?" Cream thought for a minute while looking at his royal blue fur. "OH, he looks just like Mr. Sonic! Even his quills are styled the same way! Whose baby is he, Amy?"

"Well, Cream, I know you might not believe me but….that IS the real Sonic." As Amy said this, Cream just looked at her. Cream apparently did not panic as Amy had done when she first heard the news. Cream handed Sonic back to Amy, and then proceeded to faint right in front of her.

Amy sweatdropped. So much for not panicking… Sonic looked down at the unconscious rabbit on the floor, then yawned and fell asleep in Amy's arms yet again. After she laid Sonic on her bed, she went to wake up Cream. Getting some cold water from her sink, Amy let a few droplets hit the rabbit's forehead. Cream shot up a few seconds afterward.

"Oh Amy, I was having such a weird dream! I came over here and Sonic was a baby and you were babysitting him and…and…" Cream sighed as she saw where she was. "It…wasn't a dream…was it?"

Amy shook her head. "No Cream, it wasn't."

"How did this happen to him…and why is he staying over at your house?"

Amy's cheeks turned a light shade of red. "Something went wrong with Tails' age-changing machine and turned him younger instead of older. He's staying at my house because Tails, being a guy, doesn't know anything about taking care of kids. The only way to reverse this is to gather up all of the Chaos Emeralds again to power the machine."

Cream's eyes lit up immediately. "The Chaos Emeralds? …Wait! That's right! I found this in the park while I was taking a stroll yesterday! I was going to show you later." The rabbit pulled the Green Chaos Emerald out of her bag that she brought. Amy squealed.

"Cream, you are a lifesaver! This will cut down majorly on the time we need to spend getting these!"

"Well it's only one Emerald Amy…it won't really cut down much of the time searching for them," Cream stated.

"Tails is building a device that will point us to the rest of the Emeralds," Amy continued, "and this will give him a more accurate signal to lock onto. He was originally going to use that fake emerald he created and hope it would work, but we could give him this instead."

"Well, then what are we waiting for," Cream said cheerfully, "get Sonic and lets bring this over to Tails' house!"

Amy walked upstairs and peeked in the room to see that Sonic was still sleeping. She scooped him up, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door with Cream and Cheese.

R&R! This time, I'd like at least two reviews until the next chapter!
