Sonic' POV

That whole kids things got me worked up. I told Amy no, but my heart is saying yes. My breathing became heavy. I feel fine. I'm not dizzy or anything. I just feel different. I didn't have work today, which is a good thing because I didn't get any sleep last night. Amy past out on the couch with the TV on. What if she burned the whole house down!? She wouldn't do that though.

"Just walk in." I said as I just sat in my car.

I reached for the door handle. I opened my car door and got out. I shut the door and locked my car. I started to walk towards the small building. It was a doctors office. I'm not sick or anything. I just have to get a check up since I had cancer in my system. I walked in and went to the front desk.

"He'll be right with you."

I nodded my head and picked a seat. Some people looked at my leg, but I didn't care. I was wearing shorts, so everyone could see my plastic leg! I don't know why people kept starring all the time. I pulled out my phone and Amy had texted me. I texted her back and put my phone away.

"Sonic." Called a nurse.

I got up and walked over to her. We shook hands. She took my weight and height. We went into a room and she checked my blood pressure. It hurt a little, but I didn't show it.

"You're blood pressure is a little high this morning." The nurse said.

"I didn't get a good night sleep."

"Are those medications working?"

"Oh yea! My wife just didn't come to bed. She fell asleep on the couch."

The nurse laughed and wrote some things down on her clipboard. She stood up and opened the door.

"The doctor will be right with you." She said.

"Thanks."

She shut the door. Well, this is the boring part now. Waiting for the doctor. I remember waiting in the doctor office forever when I was a teenager. I spent most of my time in here for my last few teenage years. It was so boring. I just starred at all the posters. I was reading the same thing over and over again. Same old boring information. I sighed and then the door opened.

"Hey, Sonic! It's been a while." The doctor said.

"Yea."

"You don't look alright."

"I didn't get a good night sleep."

The doctor took out his pen and wrote some stuff down. I waited until he looked at me.

"So, we have to take your blood today. Just to see if your cancer if forming again."

The doctor opened the door and I followed him out. We went into a lab room. There were other people getting their blood drawn. I didn't mind this part. It felt like I was getting Chemo again. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

"Alright. We'll have the results in about a week." The doctor said as we headed back into the room.

He shut the door and I sat back down. He checked my heart beat and breathing levels. He took a look at my plastic foot. Well, I had to take it off. Everything was fine. My health was fine. My heart was fine. My brain was fine. My stomach was fine. That's where my cancer started. That little area took a big part of my life.

"Any other questions you have before I let you go?" The doctor asked.

"Well, my wife and I a-are talking about kids."

"I'm happy for you."

"But the thing is... Would I pass down cancer to my kids?"

"Not at all! You are cancer free. But if you weren't there would be a very small percentage of the child having cancer."

I kept asking all the questions. I needed as much information as I could get. The doctor even wrote some stuff down so I could go over with Amy. But I would surprise Amy with this by not telling her. After all my questions were answered I left. It was dark outside. Grey and cold. I walked over to my car and got in. I pulled out and drove home.

"I hope I'm doing the right thing." I said getting out of my car.

I locked my car and went to the front door. I pulled out my keys and unlocked the door. I stepped and I heard music playing. It was by Rouge. Diamonds! I remember Amy and I danced this song when I found out I was cancer free. Those old memories. Sadly, we can never get those back now. It's all my fau-

"Sonic! Guess what!" Amy yelled jumping over to me.

"What?"

"T-That dance contest..." Amy held up a finger and took a sip of her water. "I'm going to try o-out!"

Ah fuck! If Amy was going to the dance contest then we couldn't try to have any kids. No one could dance while they're pregnant. Amy went back into the living and started to dance. I signed and joined her. We danced together to Diamonds. I couldn't remember all the moves, but Amy helped me out. We posed at the end. We laughed and sat on the couch.

"I miss those old days!" Amy said turning off the music.

"Yea, me too."

"We should do the dance contest together! Just like high school!"

"I don't know if this is a good time to bring this up but..." I paused and looked at Amy. "Your wish will come true."

"What wish?"

"Kids."

Amy gasped and covered her mouth. I saw tears form in her eyes. She screamed and hugged me tight. The air left my body and my face started to turn purple. She let go and stood up flapped her arms. She couldn't get the excitement out of her system.

"I'll let you dance your happiness out." I said walking into the kitchen.

I heard Amy turn on a fast beat song. I got an apple and a glass of water. As I walked upstairs I saw her dancing. I grinned at the sight and went upstairs. I ate my apple and saved half the glass of water. I walked into our bathroom and opened the drawer. I pulled out a bunch of pills. I counted each pills, making sure I wasn't forgetting any.

"8,9, 10." I said as I counted the pills.

I put 5 pills in my mouth and drank some water. My head went back and I swallowed the pills. I did the same thing to the other half. I looked in the mirror and my eyes were losing their color. My face was pale. I needed a shower.

"It's been a long day." I said getting in the shower.

I took a shower. I could hear Amy running up the stairs. She burst through the bedroom door and opened the bathroom door. She screamed, but then started to laugh. She shut the door and leaned up against it.

"I still get scared when I see your leg on the counter." Amy said looking at my plastic leg.

"At least it's not my head."

Amy laughed and she got undressed. We took a shower together. She took longer since she had to wash everything. I opened the shower door and grabbed my towel. I wrapped it around myself and sat on the toilet. Amy turned off the water and grabbed her towel. She walked over to the sink and grabbed my plastic.

"Thanks." I said putting my leg back on.

"Anytime. Now, I'm going to make dinner."

I nodded and Amy got dressed in her PJ's and headed downstairs. I dried myself off and got changed. I didn't put a shirt on. I just had shorts on and I went downstairs. My plastic leg was a little damp from the heat of the water so I had to be careful when I walked down the stairs. I grabbed the railing and made it all the way downstairs.

"Oh Sonic! Your mom called you while you were in the shower." Amy said handing me my phone.

"She always calls."

I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. I dialed her number and put my phone up to my ear. It rang for a while until I heard the ringing stop.

"Sonic! Why didn't you pick up!?"

"Mom, I was in the shower."

"I was so worried that you were-"

"Sick? No mom. I'm cancer free."

"I know. I know, but your just like your father. Full of surprises."

"Well, that's me. Oh! I got a job!"

"That's great Sonic! Do they know about your past?"

"Y-Yes. I'm working with my college cross country coach."

"Make sure you tell him that you can get dizzy."

"I got to go mom."

I hung before my mom said anything else. She is always like this. She thinks I'm going to die one day. I'm fine. I don't know why people can't get the words 'cancer free' in their head. It goes in one ear and out the other. Amy is getting there, but I know she is just scared for me. If she had cancer I'd be the same way. My mom just has to let go of the past. That was the only thing that was holding me back, and once I let it go I became cancer free.

It's been a few months later. I've been working with the cross country team. They were great! Some were better than me! Mostly because I couldn't even run most of the time. I told the whole team about my leg and how I lost it. They were really in to it and they kept asking questions. I was glad they liked me for me.

"Alright, alright. I think that's enough for today." The coach said.

"Manic. Stay here." I said.

Everyone else went headed to the locker rooms while Manic stayed behind. He walked up to me and I looked at him.

"Your grade aren't looking that pretty. Why is that?" I asked.

"Well you see coach..."

"Just call me Sonic."

"Well, Sonic. I...Weren't you like this during your college years?" Manic said winking at me.

"At some points yes. But I mostly stayed inside hospitals rooms."

Manic didn't know what to say. He didn't look at me after I said that. I sighed and looked at Manic.

"Listen Manic. If you pull your grades up I'll let you run in the first meet. Deal?" I asked putting my hand out.

"Deal!" Manic said shaking my hand.

"Good. Now go change." I said hitting his shoulder.

Manic ran off and I watched him. Manic reminds me a lot of myself. Running wise that is. I remember running backwards, with my eyes closed, and even running while dancing in circles. Those were the days.

"It's been a good day, Sonic! I'll see you tomorrow." The coach said.

"Alright. See you tomorrow."

I waved goodbye to the coach and headed to the parking lot. I remember walking this way from my classes and meeting Amy. We would always go get coffee after class or just go to the park and hang out. I got in my car and drove home. It wasn't that far of a drive, which was nice.

"Hey Ames! I made it home!" I called as I was walking upstairs.

Amy didn't answer me. I looked at the time. It just turned 6pm. Her class just ended. I walked into the closet (in our bedroom) and got changed. Maybe I'll make her a nice dinner or something.

"Sonic." Amy said opening the bathroom door.

"AH! A-Amy!" I yelled holding my chest. "I-I didn't know you were h-here."

"Sorry to scare you, but I have something to show you."

Amy grabbed my hand and we walked into the bathroom. She crossed her arms and leaned her hip on the counter. I gave her a confused look. Oh shit! Did I forget her birthday or something!? Was it my mom's birthday!? Amy grabbed the back of my head and tilted it towards the sink.

"Oh...OH!" I said seeing the results. "We did it! You're pregnant!" I said hugging Amy.

"I thought it was going to be harder, but it was pretty easy."

"Yes, yes it was... Wait." I let go of Amy. "What about that dance contest you wanted to be in."

"I'd rather start something new with your than relive my high school life."

I grinned at Amy. I held out my hand and she grabbed it. I turned off the bathroom lights and we headed downstairs. Oh, here comes my dizzy head again. I just need to take my pills. I haven't taken all of them today. You'll be fine, Sonic. You're just too excited about starting a family.
