Sally was sitting in front of her mirror combing her hair as well as glancing at her stomach, imagining herself with a larger belly. It had been a couple days since she and Sonic found out about her pregnancy and the day had finally arrived when they were going to inform their parents about it.

'I wonder how Daddy will take this,' she thought to herself. 'Mother will be overjoyed...but Dad...He's not that long gotten used to the idea that Sonic is his son-in-law...'

As Sally continued her thoughts in silence, Sonic walked out of their bathroom, having just finished taking a shower. With a towel around his waist as well as using another to dry his hair-quills, he looked over at Sally combing her hair and grinned a bit. "Now there's a sexy sight."

Hearing her husband's voice, Sally looked at him in her mirror and smiled.

Sonic walked over to her and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek. "How're you feeling this morning?"

"I'm okay," Sally answered. "If not a little nervous."

"I bet," said Sonic as he placed his hands on her shoulders, massaging them a bit to help relax her. "The day's here for us to tell the parents about the bun in the oven."

Sally nodded. "Yeah. I'm not so worried about Mother. It's Daddy I'm concerned about."

"Uh, yeah..." Sonic said in a sigh, knowing full well what she meant.

"I know it was hard Sonic," said Sally, looking at him in her mirror. "It took him a long time to get used to the idea that I was marrying you."

"Believe me, I know," Sonic said before chuckling a bit. "I guess I was a little bit too wild for his liking."

"A little, but look at how far you've come," said Sally. "Not to mention your part in ending the war."

Sonic nodded back to her as he remembered much of what had happened to get them to where they are now. "Yeah. Eventually he warmed up to me but man did that take a while. So yeah, when it comes to telling him about this, not to mention my parents too, I understand you being nervous."

"I just hope everything will be alright," Sally said in a slightly worried tone as she put her comb down on her dresser and placed a hand on Sonic's.

"I'm sure it will be Sal," said Sonic. "I think they're gonna be over the moon when they find out their gonna be grandparents."

"I hope so," said Sally before looking down at her stomach, a smile coming to her face. "I've always wanted children..."

Sonic grinned and placed his free hand on her stomach. "All the times we'd jokeabout what would happen if you and me had kids."

"Oh yeah!" Sally laughed. "Like you being up all night!"

Sonic laughed with her. "Hey, you'd be right there with me Missy!"

Sally laughed once again. "But we'd share duties. Well, I know I'll be breastfeeding."

"Of course," Sonic said, snickering. "I mean, I can't exactly do that so yeah."

Sally grinned again before picking back up her brush and finishing her hair. Sonic meanwhile went to their shared closet and discarded his towels, picking out his clothes for the day and beginning to get dressed.

"You know," Sonic began. "Ever since we found out about the baby, that's been all I've thought about."

"Really? Sally asked, a smile on her face.

"Yeah. I mean, how can I not?" he answered, looking over at her with a smile of his own. "Its still so crazy that you're actually pregnant Sal."

"Definitely," she said before a thought came to her. "You thinking of names already?"

"I've had a few go through my head," said Sonic, grinning. "Just haven't decided on one."

"Well, we're not sure if its going to be a boy or girl," said Sally.

"Exactly," Sonic said while nodding. "Which is why I haven't settled on anything yet. Besides, naming the baby is a job for both you and me because we both got to agree on names."

Sally nodded and then thought about their friends. "I wonder how the others will take it when we tell them. I know Bunnie will be overjoyed, if not a little envious."

"Her and Ant both," said Sonic. "I'm sure Tails and Rotor are gonna be excited too."

"As well Amy, Mina, and everyone else!" Sally happily added. "Hmm, I wonder what Shadow and Rouge will think."

Sonic thought as well. "Hmm, couldn't tell you. But something tells me that they'll be happy for us too."

Sally nodded in agreement and a couple seconds later, she turned around and saw that Sonic was fully dressed. He was wearing his usual attire of street clothes while also having on his royal cape and his crown. "You look great."

"Thanks," said Sonic before smirking a bit. "We're actually about to tell our parents that you're pregnant. Crazy huh?"

"Yeah, real crazy!" she said as she stood up and brushed her dress down. "Okay, I'm ready too."

Sonic's smirk grew as he looked her up and down. "Lookin' hot Babe."

Sally grinned at her husband's compliment as she picked up her tiara. "Thanks," she said as she placed her tiara atop her head. "I wouldn't normally wear my tiara, but in the presence of my parents in their throne room, its required."

"Same for me and this crown," Sonic said, looking up at the crown on his head. "Still trying to get used to wearing this."

Seeing that his crown was slightly crooked, Sally walked to Sonic adjusted it slightly. "There we go," she said before kissing his cheek. "Don't worry Hun. Its only when its required."

Sonic smiled as Sally lowered her hands from adjusting his crown. "Thanks Babe."

"You're welcome!" Sally answered, smiling. "Come on, we'd better hurry. We're going to go tell my parents first right?"

Sonic nodded. "Right." He held his hand out to her. "Let's roll."

Sally nodded and placed her hand in his. Afterwards, the two of them took their leave from their room.

"Here we are," Sonic said as he and Sally arrived outside the door to the throne room.

Sally nodded and as she and Sonic walked to the door, the two guards standing outside of it bowed in respect to them.

"Your highnesses," they greeted. "Good to see you."

"Same here," Sonic said, grinning. "Keep up the good work boys."

"Thank you guys," Sally added as the guards stood to the side, allowing her and Sonic to walk inside the throne room.

Looking ahead, Sally saw her parents on their thrones and they smiled as they saw her and Sonic walking towards them.

"Sally! Sonic!" Queen Alicia said as she stood from her throne and walked down the steps to meet them.

"Hi Mother!" Sally said as she walked to Alicia and embraced her.

Alicia hugged her daughter tightly before hugging Sonic as well. "Always great to see you dears!"

Sonic smiled and hugged his mother-in-law back. "Likewise Mom."

King Maximillian had stood up and followed Alicia down the stairs, going to Sally and hugging her. "Hello my dear."

"Hi Daddy!" Sally said, hugging him back.

Giving Sally a gentle squeeze, Max pulled back from her and turned his attention to Sonic as Alicia had pulled back from their embrace and held his hand out to him. "Sonic."

Sonic extended his hand to Max's and shook hands with him. "Morning to you and Mom both."

"Did you sleep well last night dears?" Alicia asked, a bright smile present on her face.

"We did," Sally answered. "Thanks Mom."

"Great!" said Alicia. "Oh! You both came at a wonderful time! Max and I were actually going to have a breakfast date with Jules and Bernadette!"

Sonic's ears perked up at hearing his parents' names. "Oh really?"

Alicia nodded. "Yes. It's been quite a while since we've done so."

"Indeed it has," Max added.

"Amazing!" Sally said. 'Perfect timing!'

"Sounds like a really cool way to spend the morning," said Sonic before he motioned with his head to Sally. "Say, if its alright, may we join you?"

"That'd be amazing!" said Alicia excitedly as she looked to her husband. "What do you think Love?"

"I see no reason why not," said Max, smiling. "The more the merrier."

"Awesome!" said Sonic before he began to look around. "So uh, when can we expect my mom and dad? Are they on the way?"

"Yes, they should be," Alicia answered, grinning. "Max and I were just waiting for them and then you both came in."

Sally grinned as well. "That's great!" 'Wow! Now both my parents and Sonic's can find out together that they're gonna be grandparents!'

A few moments later, the door to the throne room opened once more and everyone turned to see Jules and Bernadette walking inside.

"Ah, there they are!" said Alicia.

"My dear friends," Max greeted, a smile present on his face as well.

Looking ahead, Bernadette saw not only Max and Alicia but Sonic and Sally as well. "Oh wow! Hey everyone!"

Jules grinned as he saw his son and daughter-in-law. "And here we were expecting just to see Max and Alicia this morning. Looks like the kids decided to swing by too."

"That they did, my friend," said Max.

Bernadette walked over with Jules and hugged both Sonic and Sally. "Good to see you both!"

"Same here Mom!" said Sonic before he pulled back and looked her up and down, seeing how she was dressed and grinned. "Looking good, as always!"

"Thanks Sweetheart!" Bernadette said before kissing Sonic on his head.

"One of the reasons why we're late," Jules said, chuckling under his breath. "She wanted to make sure everything was on point and that she looked her best."

Sally giggled. "Well you both look great!"

"I agree!" said Alicia as she hugged Bernadette. Meanwhile, Max and Jules had shook hands with each other.

"Well, now that we're all together," said Max. "Shall we go and have breakfast?"

Jules looked to Sonic and Sally. "You two are gonna be joining us?"

"Yep!" Sonic said, chuckling. "Got room for us?"

Bernadette grinned as well. "Of course we do Sweetie! It'll be nice, all of us spending the morning together!"

As Max and Alicia agreed with Bernadette, Sonic and Sally exchanged knowingly smiles with one another.

Sonic held Sally around her waist as they and their parents arrived at the royal dining room. Seeing that neither set of parents were paying attention at the moment, she whispered to Sonic. "When do you think we should tell them?"

"How about when we've settled down at a table for breakfast?" Sonic whispered back.

"Okay, sounds like a plan!" said Sally.

"We're here everyone," said Alicia as she was holding Max's hand.

Sally twitched slightly in excitement and Sonic gave her a gentle squeeze, just as excited as she was.

"Well then, shall we?" asked Bernadette, smiling.

"Let's," Jules answered.

The six Mobians all walked inside the royal dining room, seeing that it was mostly empty as it was still very early in the morning, with the exception of one particular table.

"Hey everyone, check it out," said Sonic as he pointed at the table.

Everyone followed Sonic's hand and they saw Elias, Megan, and Alexis sitting at a table enjoying breakfast together.

"Oh wow!" said Sally. "The more the merrier, indeed! It's always nice to see my brother and his family!"

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind some company!" said Alicia. "Oh! And Elias and Megan have our little granddaughter with them Max!"

Max nodded with a smile as he saw his son enjoying his time with his family. At the same time, Sally looked at her niece and smiled as she placed her hand on her stomach, thinking of her and Sonic's own child within her.

Elias happened to look up from playing with Alexis and saw everyone, a smile appearing on his face. "It looks like the whole family had the same idea this morning."

"That we did!" said Alicia as she and everyone else approached the table. "Hello Elias, Megan!"

"Hello everyone!" Megan greeted as she gently rocked Alexis in her arms.

Sally smiled as she looked down at Alexis. "Heya Sweetie!"

Alicia walked over and gave Alexis a kiss on her forehead. "Hey Hun! Hope you've been a good girl for Mommy and Daddy!"

Alexis responded by gurgling happily.

Alicia grinned at her granddaughter before hugging both Elias and Megan. "Great to see you both!"

"Likewise Mother," said Elias as he and Megan hugged her back.

"How have you been?" Sally asked.

"We've been great sister," Elias answered. "Just decided to come have breakfast. Its been a while since we've come to enjoy breakfast in the royal hall."

"Same for us!" said Alicia. "Originally it was just going to be me, Max, Jules and Bernadette but Sonic and Sally decided to join us!"

Max nodded, smiling. "It would seem they came at the right time."

"It would appear so," Elias agreed. "You're all more than welcome to join us."

"Don't mind if we do," said Jules, a grin on his face.

"Thank you son," said Max before he walked over to Alexis and stroked her head. "Hey there Sweetie."

Alexis gurgled happily up at her grandfather and Megan giggled as she tickled her daughter underneath her chin.

"Such a cutie brother," said Sally. "I see where she gets it from."

Elias chuckled. "Yes. Mostly from her mother."

"Well then, shall we all pull up a chair and get some grub," Sonic said, more than ready to eat.

"Oh let's!" Sally agreed.

"Please, have a seat everyone!" said Megan.

As the family all settled down in their seats, Sonic and Sally exchanged another look with one another, excitement building within both of them.

Some time had passed and the family was enjoying eating breakfast together as well as chatting about anything and everything that came up. This went on for a while before Sonic stood up, using his spoon to gently tap his glass.

"Hey everyone?"

Everyone at the table looked up at him.

'Wow!' Sally thought. 'Sonic's really getting into the whole getting everyone's attention formally!'

"Hmm? What is it Sweetheart?" Bernadette asked. "Everything okay?"

"Oh yeah, everything's okay Mom," said Sonic. "And I'm sorry to interrupt breakfast everyone, but Sal and I have something important to tell you all."

"Mhm, we do," Sally piped in.

Sonic cleared his throat and took a deep breath, trying to find the right words.

"What's up Sonic?" Jules asked.

"Hmm..." Sonic began, still not being able to find the words and looked over to Sally. "Sal, I think you're gonna need to help me with this one."

Sally nodded and looked to everyone, smiling. "We have news..."

"What is it?" Max asked.

"Yes, inquiring minds want to know," Alicia added.

Sonic and Sally were both silent a bit longer before Sally slowly stood up, placed her hands on her stomach and said the two words that would forever change the lives of all present.

"I'm pregnant..."

"What!?" everyone at the table exclaimed in unison.

"It's true!" Sonic said, a huge grin on his face. "We're gonna be parents yo!"

"I found out from Dr. Quack a few days ago," said Sally, smiling from ear to ear. "I'm two months along!"

Everyone was completely speechless, no one not being able to speak for a couple seconds before Bernadette broke the silence. "S-Sonic, Sally, are you both being serious right now?"

Sonic's grin grew. "Serious as a heart attack Mom!"

"We're very serious!" Sally added.

"Oh wow..." Max said breathlessly.

In the next instant, Alicia, Bernadette, and Megan rushed Sally, all three of them hugging her in happiness. Surprised from their hugs, Sally smiled and hugged them all back.

"Another grandchild..." said Max happily and with tears in his eyes. "Praise this day..."

"My first grandchild..." said Jules, finally finding his voice.

"Our first grandchild!" Bernadette corrected, still hugging Sally. "This is so amazing!"

"Incredible..." said Elias, smiling through tears of his own. "I'm going to be an uncle..."

"That you are brother!" said Sally.

"This is amazing!" said Megan before she went over to Alexis in her stroller. "You're going to have a little cousin Sweetie!"

Alexis responded by gurgling happily again.

Jules walked over to Sonic and patted him on the back before hugging him. "I'm so freaking proud of you son."

Sonic grinned and hugged his father back, as well as Bernadette as she hugged him too seconds later. "Thanks a lot Pop!"

Max walked over to Sonic after he pulled away from his parents and shook his hand. "I'm sure you'll do a great job with my daughter and grandchild."

"I definitely will," said Sonic as he shook hands with his father-in-law. "Trust me on that."

Max smiled and nodded at Sonic.

"Wow, we have so much to celebrate today!" said Bernadette.

"That we do!" Alicia added. "This is a joyous occasion!"

As their family began to talk about the news they had just heard and how excited they were for the future addition to their family, Sonic and Sally simply sat down beside one another and watched, both of them with happy smiles on their faces.

Sally leaned her head on Sonic's shoulder, holding his arm with both of hers. "I told you everything would be alright..."

Sonic gently rested his head against hers, his grin still on his face. "If I remember right, I was the one who told you that."

Sally giggled and snuggled her head more into Sonic's shoulder, watching in happiness along with him as their family continued to talk happily about their future child.
