Chapter 3 New Beginnings
Sonic unlocked his door and stepped inside closing it behind him with his foot. It was a good thing his umbrella was a button umbrella other wise it would have been really difficult to fold it while holding the little orphan.
Sonic placed his umbrella in a container near the door and walked into the hallway. He turned the dial up a little on the thermometer since it was a little chilly this evening. As Sonic moved around more the little hedgehog began to stir and stared wide eyed at its surroundings.
Sonic sat down on the couch and cradled her in his arms smiling warmly. She stared up back at him lavender eyes met emerald as they were locked in an embrace. They were interupted again however when her tiny stomach growled loudly making its emptiness known.
Sonic thought for a moment then shot a glance at Amy's unopened gifts. "Well Amy looks like I'm going to open your presents anyway." Sonic said outloud as he reached over and grabbed one of the pink gifts. He quickly unwrapped revealing it to be exactly what he thought it was. A baby bottle.
Sonic chuckled to himself and while caring the infant in his arms he went into the kitchen. He quickly searched his fridge and grabbed a gallon of milk,filled a pot with it , and turned on the flame.
He was careful to stay a little ways from it so as not to scare the young one, but she only wathed intently as Sonic filled the bottle and tested the temperature on his wrist. "There not to hot and not to cold." Sonic said turning the flame off and walking back into the living room.
He tilted the child's head up a little with one arm and fed her the bottle with the other. At first she refused it due to her abusement she might have thought it was something bad, but when Sonic dropped a little on her lip she lunged for it sucking it greedily.
Sonic chuckled at this knowing that this was exactly what he did when he was little. It didn't take long before she had sucked it dry and dropped it her eyes drooping sleepily. Sonic yawned himself and looked at the clock he had on his fireplace mantle. It was only 8:00.
He looked back down at the snowy hedgehog who was gazing up at him at the moment admiring his deep shade of blue colored fur. "Well I'm guessing I should name you huh?" Sonic asked holding her up his hands gently holding under her arms. He had grown tired of calling her and it or a she. Sonic thought for a moment going through a whole list of names in his mind until one stood out.
"How about Lila?" Sonic said outloud. To his surprise the snowly hedgehog began to giggle her eyes lighting up with happiness. Sonic smiled and again cradled her in his arms "That's it my little Lila." Sonic said tickling her stomach with a finger. She laughed and kicked her legs accidentaly kicking off the blanket in the process.
Sonic glanced at the second pink package not really knowing what this one was though. Carefully he sat little Lila up on the cough far from the edge and went to inspect the package. He tried to unwrap it, but Amy had wrapped this one a little too good. "Darnit Amy." Sonic said and unsheathed a black claw.
No sooner had he done this that the snowy little hedgehog had been watching him started to kick and cry upon seeing his little weapon. Sonic immediatly stopped and went to grab her before she rolled of the edge. He gently rocked her in his arms, but she kept crying eyes filled with fear.
It broke Sonic's heart. This child was probably traumatised from being abused so much as she continued to cry. "Hey it's okay." Sonic said, but she only screamed louder her voice starting to crack. Sonic took off his glove and held it right in front of her. Lila stopped tears streming down her White cheeks as she looked at his fawn colored hand.
Tentivly she reached out and held Sonic's finger. She squeezed it gently making Sonic's claw slowly come out. She studied it, lavender eyes looking at it intently, as she turned it revealing the little white spiral sign on the side of his claw. Her other small hand reached out and traced the little pattern folloing it right into Sonic's peach finger.
"See I'm not going to hurt you." Sonic said quietly as she let go. He sheathed his claw and put his glove back on "I'm not that kind of person." Sonic said as he set her back on the couch and going back to open that package. He got it open with some difficulty since Lila was still terrified of anything that seemed like a weapon.
"Just what I needed." Sonic said holding a small package of diapers. Lila tilted her head not really knowing what they were. Sonic took a breath "This is so not how I roll." Sonic said as he put the diaper on his muzzle and ear tips turning a bright rosy red.
Lila laughed at this making it harder for Sonic to apply the diaper since she wouldn't stop kicking her legs. After some difficulty and embarrasing remarks Sonic finally got the diaper on. He huffed and gingerly picked her up since she was still frail by her ribs. She yawned as he placed her in his arms and slowly rocked her as he climbed the stairs.
"Until I can get you a crib I guess you can sleep with me." Sonic said Looking around his room which was pretty neat for a change. Sonic layed Lila down near the wall since there would be no danger of her falling off the bed. His symbol flickered as he yawned and layed on top of the blankets.
He turned on his side to place a fluffy quilt on Lila before turning back over and staring up at the roof. Lila looked at Sonic tiredly, but she still didn't want to go to sleep she wasn't comfortable. She kicked the blanket off with a wine catching Sonic's attention.
He flicked his eyes towrds her and watched as she crawled over to him and rested her head right on his symbol. Sonic felt a little guilty knowing that he was a heavy sleeper he tried to move her back "Sorry but you need to sleep over there." Sonic said about to hoist her up, but Lila gripped his fur aand wined in protest.
Sonic sighed and stopped trying to move her. If this was going to astablish trust between them then so be it. The light automatically switched itself off as soft breaths could be heard. The two had both fallen asleep.
