I go in my home seeing Sonic, Shadow, Surge, and Remy all on the couch playing Mario Bros 2, I sighed and closed the door behind me looking it. Thats when I heard thunder, its going to rain tonight. "Oh hey Eclipse where have you been?" Sonic asked. I groaned walking into the kitchen, "Fuck off blue faker!" I said rubbing my head. "Oooohhhh you got told!" the guys chuckled, Sonic rolled his eyes and ate Shadow using a yoshi. "Sonic spit me out you blue fuck!" Shadow said. "Make me."

I ignored them making myself some microwaveable spaghetti into a bowl and warming it up for a minute and taking it out. Remy comes in to the fridge and gets a coke (not the drug) out of it and drinks some. He looks to me but I don't look back, he frowns and swallows. "What's wrong sis? You look down in the dumps." he said coming to me and hugging me. "Nothing." I said and the microwave goes off and I take out my spaghetti and get a fork. "I know your lying, You a terrible liar." he says smiling alittle. I sigh, "I lost my office job today." Remy frowned. "What happened?" he asked. "I quit because my boss was being disrespectful, oh and I took your game cheat codes to work by mistake." "So that's what happened to them." he said, I pointed to my suitcase and he smiled. "Thanks." he said opening it and taking them out. "But I'm sorry to hear that." I shrugg my shoulders and get out some water. "Its fine." I said and took my dinner to my bedroom. I sit on my desk chair and eat drinking my water after. I undress till I'm only in my undergarments and fall asleep.

The next day~

Waking up to Shade's voice this time on time I don't feel good, and this is the first time I don't feel well ever. "Sis what's wrong?" she asked, my face was flushed red and I felt really hot, I was too weak to move and whenever I did I felt pain. "Just relax ok? You might have caught this from working too hard." Shade analyzed. I panted sweating and I nodded, Remy made me some chicken noodle soup, Surge kept me compant while Shadow and Sonic went to talk to a talk on what to do on the phone and left to get the medicine. My phone rang and I pick up, "Hello?" I sniffed. Shade and Surge were in the room with me at the time, "It's Guinevere, you need to come tot he hospital right away." she said ergent. I groaned, "But can't we hang out later, I'm kinda-" "SHE STOPPED BREATHING GET DOWN HERE NOW!" I froze when Guinevere yelled through the phone. "W-What?" I choked. Surge and Shade looked to me at me confused and worried. "Sis what's wrong?" Shade asked. "Yeah and whose Guinevere?" Surge asked. "I'll be there in a sec Guin." I sniffed and hung up, not caring how weak I was I got up and was about to chaos control. "Sis get back and bed and tell us what's going on!" Shade demanded. I groaned, "No fucking time just come on!" I said pulling them to me. "CHAOS CONTROL!" in a flash we were at the hospital and I raced to the front desk checking in then I saw Guinevere looking to me frowning, I raced to her with Surge and Shade close behind. "Tell me how she is doing." I frowned. "Luckily we were able to pump air into her before her heart stopped, she is still dazed, the problem was that no one changed her oxygen tank causing her to not breathe." I sighed in relief, she was ok, but barely. "Can I see her?" I asked. Guinevere looked to Shade and Surge that were behind me, then looked back to me. "Very well." She nodded and we followed Guinevere. "Sis can you PLEASE tell us what's going on! Who are we here for?!" Shade asked. We stopped infront of the baby center and I saw the little hedgie from before, but she had a oxygen mask on her.

I explained to Surge and Shade what I have been doing for the past 2 months and they gasped. "So you've been taking the responsibility of this infant? And didn't tell us?" Surge asked. I nodded, "I know we are all too busy to take care of her, so I just paid the bills." I admitted. "Why didn't you tell us?" Shade asked. I shook my head, "I didn't think of it as a big deal ok." I leaned on the wall, it was so hot. "Eclipse...you ok?" Guinevere asked. She put her hand on my forehead and gasped. "Your burning up!" she exclaimed. I shook my head and slid down the wall, "I just need to sit down." I assured, but Guinevere shook her head, "You might need to stay here for resting" Guin said. Surge picked me up bridal style, and I was too tired to argue. "Can I sleep?" I asked feeling being put in a bed. "Not quite yet, I need to run some tests on you, on how sick you are you could get in a coma." Guinevere analyzed, I sighed. "Very well." I said weakly and I waited.

30 minutes later~

I was told that my illness was given to all the stress I've been over including depression, saying it lower my immune system. It wasn't a serious case but I had to be bed ridden. Surge called in to my job telling them my delima, they understood and I was given work with no pay which was good. But all I had on my mind was the little hedgie, couldn't help that I had a heart for her, but I did care for her. Soon Remy came in with some flowers, he talked with Guinevere a little and then put the flowers in a vase not far away from me, he kissed my forehead and pulled back smiling. "I'm sorry you feel bad love, but also I can't believe you cared for an infant all this time, I wouldn't have mind." Remy said smiling. "Yeah, neither would I." Surge piped up. I sighed, "Ok you may rest now Miss Hedgehog, your tests are down." I nodded, "Thank you doctor." I replied. "Hmhm well we'll leave for you to rest then." Remy said. Remy, Shade, and Surge left for me to sleep, so did Guinevere and I soon rested.

4 hours later~

I woke up feeling no better which wasn't a surprise, "Hello sleepy head!" I saw it was Guinevere. "Hey." I said rubbing my head and kicked the covers about to get up. "Where do you think your going?" she asked. I raised an eyebrow at her and pointed to the door. "Bathroom." I stated, she wrangled her finger. "Nah ah ah, your bed ridden, you'll have to use the bed pan." she said smiling and went under my bed to get something. "What the hell is a bed pan?" I asked even more confused. Then Guinevere rose up to hold a metal seat of some kind and gave it to me. "You go in that." There was a silence till I finally spoke, "HELL NO!" "Well to bad you have to, doctor's orders." "I dought that a doctor would order me to pee in a metal bowel." I stated. "Just do it and just tell me when your done." Guinevere said blushing turning around. "What the hell? Get out!" "I can't, what if you fall or something?" "Wow, who falls to take a piss?" "ALOT OF PEOPLE!" "Mmmhmm sure." Moving the covers I realized something. "Guin?" "Mm?" "Who the hell took my clothes? And who the hell dressed me in a gown?!" "Man you sure do love to say 'hell' alot don't you?" she giggled. "Just answer." "I did, it's required for all patients to wear them." "Oh yeah, so perverts can look at you bare ass as you pass, I see loud and clear." I said smirking. "Wait what?! No no that's not!" "Whatever, I was only joking." I said rolling my eyes. Guinevere sighed in relief, "Also I don't even have to use the bathroom I just wanted to wash up, I feel icky." I said, and came to think of it, I didn't even bathe today yet. "Oh if that's the case I'll give you a sponge bath then." I went wide eyed. "W-Wait what?" Guinevere giggled. "It's ok silly, were both girls, nothing to be embarrassed about." I sighed. "Very well."

Few moment later~

Guinevere had two buckets of warm water on a cart including a sponge, one bucket of water was soapy, the other wasn't for rinse. I blushed as Guinevere untied the knot in my gown and it slowly fell. I didn't look at her even when she washed my face. "Why so shy Eclipse?" she asked. "I'm not." "Ok then, why so embarrassed?" "Am not!" "Ok then, why are you blushing so much then?" she asked giggling. "I'm n-" Guinevere gave me a mirror and my face was lit red, I rolled my eyes. "Alright, alright!" Guinevere took the mirror back giggling and continued to wash me. "You are very cute ya know, you shouldn't be embarrassed." Guinevere said leaning over to get my back. "Mm? You usually don't find quills on a female's back, hey have you-" "MMMMPHHH!" I muffled with Guinevere bust in my face. Guin gasped and pulled back, "I'm so sorry! Are you alright?!" "Am I already you suffocated me!" I said gasping. Guinevere frowned with her ears bent down, "I'm sorry." "Eh it's alright." I said blushing seeing she had teary eyes. Guin nodded and continued to wash me, my breath hitched as she got to my lower torso, Guinevere stopped. "S-Sorry, if your not comfortable I'll stop right there." I looked away embarrassed. "Please." Guinevere nodded and squeezed out the sponge and put it in the non-soapy water and rinsed me off. After I got dry she dressed me and left to dump the water. I sighed sitting back in my bed. "Guin..."

3 days later~

I was feeling a whole lot better but I was still told I could not leave, tests had to be run saying if I should be able to leave or not, my stress level still wasn't low as much but still I was fine physically, but they kept me here because they weren't sure emotionally and or mentally. I was able to walk around the hospital if I pleased, the only reason I would mostly get out of my room was to see how the baby was doing, nothing else. I sighed, she was asleep. For some reason I wanted to cry, seeing how this baby has to fight to live, it was sad. My ear flattened, how remembering this baby was abandoned, unwanted, uncared for. it reminded me of my life before I met Shade...Surge...Remy... But now, I have made my decision and it was final. Guinevere ran to me, but I didn't gaze to her at all as she panted and started to speak. "Eclipse I-" "Guinevere..." she stood straight hearing the tone of my voice. "Y-Yes?" she looked and saw that I was looking to the baby and her ears bent down. "I want to keep her, I want to claim her." Guinevere looked to me with gleaming eyes. "R-Really?" I nodded. "I'm serious, seeing this little fighter, seeing how much she has improved, I can't just let her go...I want her to be my daughter." I turned to Guinevere, seeing she was smiling, she hugged me and I hugged back. "What are you going to name her?" I smiled this time chuckling. "That question again eh?" I looked to the black hedgie, then closed my eyes for a moment thinking, then opened them again. "Juliet." I stated. "What a beautiful name." Guinevere said. "Thank you." I said and walked away. "Wait where are you going?" she asked following. "Going to mae a call to Shade, tell her when I recover, she take me to Baby's R' US," I said making it to the pay phone. "W-Wait can I go? I love shopping!" Guinevere said eagerly, I saw her tail even wagging, I snickered. "Fine you can come." I said while dialing the number. "Yay!" she exclaimed.

A week later~

I was well enough to leave the hospital yesterday and now Guinevere, Shade, and I were in the baby store looking for clothes and other supplies for Juilet. I was handling the supplies as Shade was getting the toys, Guinevere the clothes. I got the daipers, bibs, pasifires, teething rings, wipes, baby powder, baby rash cream, baby oil, rattles, changing table, ect. I put it all in the cart, Shade got some toys and put it in the cart, Guinevere got a bunch of clothes and shoes, socks, ect and put them in the cart. We all decided on what crib we would get and we paid for it all. With some help from Remy and Surge of course. We were able to get most of the stuff in the car, but the stuff we couldn't fit I just choas controlled to the house. We had an extra bedroom and had everything set up. "I'm glad your keeping the baby." Sonic said from behind me, I looked to him nodding. "Thank you...Sonic." "No problem."

2 months later~

I was happy to hear that Juilet was now healthy enough to come home with us, I saw seeing for the first time she had red eyes like me and Remy, and quills the same stlye as Surge. Juilet didn't do much of anything since she wasn't used to being touched, held, or even moving was new to her. But we got through and made sure to make everything go through slow and smoothly. I smiled to myself seeing Shade hold her, rocking her after Remy had fed her. I felt Surge rub my shoulder, I tried not to cry. "What's wrong babe?" he asked comforting me. "I-I'm glad I did this for Juilet." I turned to him, "For everyone." Surge smiled wiping my falling tears. "I'm glad you did this too." he said and brought me into an embrace as more tears fell.

The End
