Silver stood there looking at Sonic and laughed. "Well I guess you did. Come on and take that off. You don't need it anyway, Shadow does." Sonic walked to the bathroom and took the diaper off and threw it in the garbage can. Sonic then splashed his face with water at the sink and looked in the mirror. "Well that was a horrifying experience" Sonic told his reflection and walked out of the bathroom.
Silver was now sitting on the couch watching Toddlers in Tiaras. Sonic noticed and sat down next to him. "Silver, why do you watch this garbage? These kids don't need pageants and crap at their age." "Sonic this show is awesome I love it. So shut up and let me watch…." Silver got an idea and slowly turned his head and looked at Shadow, who was now sleeping soundly in a bassinette (that they had bought the last time this had happened) and grinned. "Sonic do you think we could-""NO" Sonic growled in Silver's face. "You are NOT going to try and get on that stupid TV show with him." "But Sonic we could be rich and famous." Silver pleaded with him. "Silver there is something wrong with your head. 1. Shadow is 8 months old. He is a BABY not a toddler. 2. I don't know if you know this or not but Shadow is a BOY and most of that show is GIRLS. 3. That show is freaking annoying and I hate it.
Silver fought back. "But when he's older then we-"Sonic stopped him. "Silver. I don't know how long we will have to parent him, but if it does take as long as him growing into a toddler we are still not doing that." Sonic stood up and walked over to the bassinette and looked at the sleeping baby. "It's alright you won't be on that horrid TV show at all. Silver is crazy." Sonic rubbed Shadow's check and walked to his room.
Silver sat there for 2 hours watching that show while eating popcorn when Shadow woke up wet and hungry. Silver didn't notice since he was wrapped up in his show. "W-W-WAHHHHHHH!" Shadow started to cry and kick. Soon Sonic heard and came in the Den. "Silver did you not notice him at all? The poor thing's been crying for 10 minutes. He was right next to you." Silver took out his headphones from his ears. "Huh Oh! I'm so sorry." Silver apologized to Sonic. "And I thought I was the lazy parent. Look he probably has a rash." Silver took Shadow to his nursery and laid him down on the changing table and untapped his diaper. "Silver get in here!" Sonic yelled as he wiped Shadow's little butt. "Silver slowly walked into the room and over to where they were. "Look" Sonic pointed to the red area on Shadow. "He does have a rash." "Wow Sonic I didn't know you cared so much." Silver had a tiny tear of joy in his eye. "Whatever. You diaper him and then I'll go lie on the couch." Sonic did as he said and put the headphones back I his ears and resumed the tape.
Silver diapered Shadow and took him back in the Den and sat him down on the floor. "I'm Hungry WAHHHHHHH" Shadow cried. Silver got up and picked Shadow up and took him into the kitchen and put him in a highchair and got out some baby food. Shadow watched and monitored what was going on. "What's that?" He asked Silver. Silver opened the jar and spooned out some mush. "Its chicken and peas Shadow except it's mashed up so babies can eat it." Shadow leaned back in disgust. "I'm not eating that mush!" "Well I told you before a couple of days ago, you can't have solid food yet. So eat this." Silver said as he moved the spoon closer to Shadow. Shadow kept his mouth shut and sunk down into the highchair. "No. dat yucky" Shadow said to the spoon. "Oh Shadow look the airplane needs something to land in. Open up the hanger" Silver made airplane noises while Shadow just looked at him like Silver was an idiot. "Oh ok. Maybe this then….." Silver tickled Shadow's foot. "BWAHAHAHAHA!" Shadow laughed out loud and Silver shoved the spoon into his mouth. Shadow was surprised and swallowed. "Ha you see? I'll always get what I want." Silver said happily"
Shadow gagged. "Bleggghhh. Ewww this is nasty! People actually feed their kids with this stuff?" "Yes," Silver replied. "It's just regular food mashed up. What's so bad about it?" Silver scooped up another spoonful and did the airplane thing again.
"Nuuuuuu!" Shadow leaned away and slapped the spoon away out of Silver's hand and onto the floor. "Shadow are you hungry or not? I can give you anything." Silver picked the spoon off of the floor and cleaned it off. "Rweal fwood." Shadow whined. Silver sighed. "Ok ok real food it is. But if you can't eat it then it's back to baby food for you, and I want NO complaints from you in feeding time. "Psh. Easy as cake." Shadow scoffed. "I'm afraid you're wrong little one. "It's "Easy as PIE. Not cake." Silver corrected as he got out some cereal and lunch meat.
Silver came back and started to feed him again. Shadow put some cereal in his mouth. Soon he found out he had no teeth and spit it back out. "See you can't." Silver said. "Maybe when you grow in some teeth you can try again." Silver then scooped up more mush and fed it to an unwilling but starving baby Shadow who ate it anyways.
10 minutes later Silver came back with Shadow sitting on his head. "Mwush mwush!" Shadow commanded Silver. Silver walked around in circles for a couple of minutes and sat down. "Hey!" Shadow whined. "Shadow let me rest for a while, Silver the sled dog needs to sit down." Silver lifted Shadow off of his head and down in the playpen. Shadow frowned and started messing with the toys that were with him before deciding to put a rattle in his mouth. Sonic noticed the clock and yawned "Silver I'm going to bed. It's late" Sonic got up and got in his bed in his room and hugged his chilidog pillow.
Soon Silver realized it was very late after a marathon of The Big Bang Theory and yawned. Shadow had long gone to sleep and was sleeping in the fetal position to keep warm. Silver: picked him up and got Shadow's Pjs on him and carefully lain him down in his crib with his pacifier. Silver then got ready and went to sleep as well in his bed.
The next morning Silver was tired and cranky because of lack of sleep. "I didn't get a wink of sleep last night…" Silver growled. "I didn't do it!" Yelled Shadow. "No I put you in bed. I just had too much on my mind." Silver said, almost dropping his coffee."I woke up licking my chilidog pillow." Sonic tried to get into the conversation. Silver got up and went to the bathroom. Shadow's face was a mess and he was dropping most of his food on the floor. "Shadow you know that's your breakfast right?" Sonic asked. "Yes, "Shadow replied. "I just find it fun to watch Silver clean up after me." Shadow replied. "You're lucky you didn't wake him up this time like you've done for the past few days." Sonic said while eating his donut. "Com'on, I was hungry." Shadow whined. "Yeah at 1:30 in the morning. You're like a baby vampire instead of a hedgehog I swear." "Hey knwock it off I already get enough of that as a gwone up!" Sonic continued on. "Why you look like one and May I add you act like one too Mr. I never go Outside when the Sun is Out. "Dats because my hwair is bwack!" Shadow protested, ready to aim a glob of oatmeal at Sonic. "You better not fling that or else you'll be getting a spanking." Sonic threatened. Shadow completely ignored the threat and flung the oatmeal straight into Sonic's eyes. "AHHHHHH AHHH MY EYES! HOT HOT HOT!" Sonic screamed and ran to the sink and cleaned his eyes out.
Silver came back in the room and stared at the mess that was going on. "Sonic what did you do?" "I didn't do anything, it was the demon child!" Sonic said as he wiped his eyes clean. "He flung oatmeal in my eyes!" Silver sighed, got out the mop and cleaned the floor. "Sonic it's been a month since he got turned into a baby. He's going to act like one whether you want him to or not, and that includes playing with his food. He doesn't know any better." Silver said as he put up the mop and cleaned Shadow's face off. "HOT OATMEAL IN MY EYES!" Sonic screamed, making Shadow cry from his volume level. Silver tried to calm Shadow down. "Do you have to scream around him? He's very sensitive to loud noises now, I don't want him stressed out and crying all the time because it gets ME stressed out too. I'm sorry I wasn't in here to stop him but I wasn't." "What he really needs is a good spanking right on his little butt." Sonic grumbled. "Sonic what happened to your happy-go-lucky attitude huh? I won't punish him for acting his age." Silver said annoyed. Silver put Shadow over his shoulder and rubbed his back, calming the baby down. "There now, he's calm." "Make him apologize." Sonic demanded. Silver bounced Shadow a little while turning slowly from side to side. "Sonic he's losing the ability to talk, I don't think he can." "Well I'm waiting." Sonic paced and watched Shadow breathe. Silver sighed. "Shadow can you say sorry to Sonic for throwing your food at him?" Shadow lifted his head up and blinked. "Do I hwave to?" If you don't want your butt to be red you do." Sonic said and held up a wooden paddle. Shadow's little heart beat so fast in fear. "I sowwy Soic, I sowwy! Shadow cried and burst into tears again, burying his face into Silver's fluffy mane. Silver sighed. "Sonic, no wonder he doesn't like you. I get it, you're using his age and state to get revenge on him." Sonic smirked. "You got that right, and it's gonna be so sweet."
