3 months later
Sonette wakes up with sunlight in her eyes and she place her hand on her belly. She's really starting to show. She should be around six months along now. She's scared. Sonette gets up and fixes her dress. Then Blaze the Cat and Sandra, who is carrying a tray, walks in and Sonette smiles.
"How are you feeling Sonette?" Blaze asks as she walks over.
"Okay I guess." Sonette replies and Blaze place her hands on Sonette's belly.
"This is still amazing." Blaze admits.
"It is." Sonette whispers.
"Come on Blaze, she needs to eat." Sandra tells her. Blaze walks back and Sonette walks over to her breakfast. Sandra and Fire has been looking after her as well as Chandra, Hanna, Blaze and Silver has helped a bit. After breakfast, Sonette got dress into a clean dress and sighs. She walks out as Fire and Silver the Hedgehog walks over.
"Hey baby girl." Fire greets smiling and Sonette smiles. Fire has stayed by Sonette all hours of the day. He normally in the same room at night, but last night he couldn't. Fire place his hand on Sonette's belly. "And how is the little one?" Fire asks.
"She's fine." Sonette replies.
"Still thinking you are having a girl." Sandra said.
"I know I am." Sonette tells her.
"Come on, someone is here to see you." Fire said and the pair walks off. Sonette then saw Teagan Fox and Manic the Hedgehog waiting. Teagan runs over and looks at her shock as Manic walks over.
"Sonette." Manic said and Sonette gives him a hug.
"Manic." Sonette whispers with tears in her eyes.
"Are you okay, Tails told us you were taken by the assassins?" Manic asks softly.
"I'm fine." Sonette replies as she lets Manic go. Manic then place his hand on Sonette's belly.
"A baby." Manic whispers.
"If I'm having a girl, I'm naming her Aleena, after mother." Sonette tells Manic who smiles. "I hope Tails wouldn't mind." Sonette adds.
"I'm sure he won't" Manic said.
"Does Tails know about you being pregnant?" Teagan asks.
"No, he doesn't." Sonette replies as Chandra walks over.
"Teagan, a word." Chandra tells her. Teagan nods as she follows Chandra.
"Who is that?" Manic asks.
"Chandra, one the elders of the creed." Sonette replies and Manic sighs.
"What's going on?" Manic asks.
"I'm in trouble Manic, after I have Aleena I have to face my punishment. I don't know what it is yet. I have gone through trial and now I have to wait." Sonette explains and Manic looks at her shock. "I might have to go back to the creed." Sonette whispers and Manic sighs.
"Sonette, I'm sorry." Manic said.
"It's okay." Sonette assures him. "I'm the one who ran off and got into trouble, I had it coming." Sonette tells him and Manic sighs. "I'm a big girl Manic, I can handle this. I'm just worried about Aleena." Sonette admits.
"I'll stay with Tails when you first leave if you have to go back as an assassin." Manic tells her.
"I get seven months with her and Tails, then I would have to leave." Sonette tells him as Teagan and Chandra walks back.
"Sir Manic, welcome." Chandra greets.
"Chandra, I know you are mad that Manic is here." Sonette starts but stops when Chandra puts her hand up.
"Keep him close and make sure Zelda doesn't find out or both you and your brother will be killed. Zelda and the others are still fighting over your punishment so they won't be around for a while." Chandra explains.
"Okay." Sonette said.
"Talking about that, I should head back and see if I can calm things down." Chandra said walking off and Sonette sighs.
"That can't be good." Fire said and Sonette place her hand son her belly.
"No, it can't be." Sonette whispers.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Chandra, Hanna and Mason are fighting for you." Sandra said and Sonette nods.
"Yeah, I'm sure they are." Sonette whispers. "Can I speak to my brother alone?" Sonette asks.
"Of course." Fire said.
"We won't be far." Teagan adds as they walk off. Manic sighs and Sonette looks at him with tears in her eyes.
"What is it?" Manic asks worry.
"The worse that could come out as my punishment is death. I need you to promise me you will look after Aleena." Sonette tells him and Manic looks at her shock.
"I promise." Manic whispers as he pulls Sonette into a hug.
"I'm scared Manic." Sonette cries.
"I know you are, but I'm here now. I'm going to do everything I can to help you." Manic tells her and Sonette closes her eyes. It felt good to have Manic here.
"Sorry to do this to you Manic." Sonette whispers.
"No, it's oaky." Manic assures her. Manic lets her go and Sonette smiles. "So Teagan said this is where you went after mother was killed." Manic starts.
"It was, this was my home for years." Sonette replies. "This is where I trained, met Teagan and Sandra of course and become… well became Annabelle." Sonette explains and Manic smiles.
"It's amazing here." Manic said.
"It has its moments." Sonette said as Teagan and Sandra walks over.
"Come on, we'll show Manic around." Sandra said and they started walking. Fire tagged behind to make sure nothing happens to them. Manic takes Sonette's hand and Sonette smiles. After walking around for a bit, Sonette stops and sighs as she place her hand on her belly. Fire walks next to her as the others stop.
"Sorry, I just need a moment." Sonette tells them. Manic, Sandra and Teagan walks back.
"Is everything okay?" Manic asks worry.
"Yeah, just a little tired." Sonette replies. "I'll be fine." Sonette tells them and Fire place his hand on Sonette's shoulder. Sonette looks at him. "I swear Fire, I will be fine." Sonette tells him.
"We should head to the dining hall, its lunch time anyway." Teagan tells them. They head off and Sonette sighs. Once at the dining hall, they got a table and Sonette sits down.
"You two stay here, we'll grab your lunches." Teagan tells Manic and Sonette then walks off with Fire and Sandra. Sonette sighs and Manic place his hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry, I'm not use to this still." Sonette admits.
"It's okay." Manic assures her and Sonette smiles as she leans into him. Manic wraps his arm around Sonette.
"After lunch I'm going to lay down." Sonette tells him.
"Good idea." Manic said. After lunch Sonette took Manic to her room. Fire followed. Sonette walks to the bed and lay down. She was felt so tired. Manic walks over and tucks her in. Sonette chuckles.
"Thanks Manic." Sonette whispers.
"Will you two be okay alone?" Fire asks.
"We'll be fine." Manic replies and Fire nods as he walks out. Manic walks to the other side of the bed and takes his gear off, then lies down.
"Tired too." Sonette whispers as she rolls over to face him.
"A little, we'll take a nap together." Manic tells her and Sonette smiles as she closes her eyes.
"I like that idea." Sonette whispers and Manic smiles as he remembers when one time when Sonette and him had sweets and she confused she took them for the first time.
An 8 year old Manic walks into the dining hall, looking for his sister. He walks to the table and looks under it to see Sonette eating some sweets. Sonette looks at him shock and sighs.
"Here you are." Manic said crawling over and Sonette nods.
"Want some?" Sonette asks and Manic smiles.
"I do." Manic said. They finished the sweets up and Sonette giggles.
"Now you can't tell on me." Sonette said.
"I would never do that sis." Manic said and Sonette smiles.
"Manic, Sonette, get out from there, now." they heard a voice said. They crawl out to see their parents, Jules the Hedgehog and Aleena the Hedgehog.
"Mother, father." Sonette whispers.
"Which one of you two took the sweets?" Aleena asks
"It wasn't us." Manic replies.
"Then why were you hiding?" Jules asks.
"We weren't, we were playing." Sonette replies and Jules sighs.
"One of you two took them, if you don't tell us I'll have to punish you both." Jules tells them and Sonette looks at him shock.
"It was me." Sonette whispers and Manic looks at her shock. "Don't punish Manic because of me." Sonette pleads and Aleena smiles as she looks at Jules.
"Come on Sonette, you have to go to your room." Aleena tells her and the pair walks off. Manic sighs as he watch them leave.
"I had some too." Manic admits.
"I know you would have Manic." Jules said. "But Sonette can't keep stealing stuff." Jules tells him and Manic nods. Jules walks off and Manic sighs.
'She told the truth for the first time.' Manic thought and heads off to find something to do.
