Taking so long to update this story was a mixture of procrastination and laziness. .-. I guess the point is it's here! :)

Enjoy!

Amy walked down the hall with her books held close to her chest resting atop of her still growing baby bump. Today's a new day and she hoped to God that something will change with the way people treat her. They watched her as if she had two heads or as if she was some alien from another distant planet. That day school had been a real drab for her. Amy sighed. Well, school has been nothing compared to her household with her siblings. Avalon answers to her every call and bids to her every need. In other words, the perfect brother. Even though, Lucia left to live with their grandmother for a while, so their house has feeling a bit empty albeit Avalon is always here for her. Even better news is that Sonic has been there every afternoon after school at her house doing the same as Avalon. Amy's spirits cheered up a bit once she thought of home. Amy felt a small smile tug at the corner of her lips.

"What are you smiling about?" Sonic chuckled as he approached her.

Amy jumped and was thrown out of her deep thoughts and watched her cobalt blue friend. "O-oh, nothing."

"So how was P.E?" Sonic and I continued to walk down the hall.

"Well I got out of the rope climb so pretty awesome." Amy giggled.

Sonic stood there and watched Amy in all her beauty as she smiled. "So you pumped for your shopping spree today?" Sonic imitated a rather girlish shriek.

Amy playfully pushed him, whilst laughing before saying. "Of course! Thanks again for coming along with me. I know how much you hate shopping in the woman's department." Amy smiled nervously.

"It's nothing. I know how much you hate shopping alone. Plus I need to pick up dinner while my mom is working late." Sonic halted as he approached his locker.

"You know, you could come over to my house for dinner." Amy smiled.

"Thanks, I'll let Sonia and Manic know." He returned the smile.

They stood there for what felt like forever looking into each other's eyes smiling. Sonic walked towards Amy and roughly placed his hands onto the locker as she leaned against it. "Sonic-" His minty fresh breath filled her nostrils. Their breaths mingling, his arm slid down slowly and rested onto her waist. Her breath hitched once his face moved closer to hers.

The bell rang shocking the both of them back to their senses. "Uh, um, see you later." Amy walked away leaving Sonic there with his hands up on the locker.

In the mall the shopping for clothes for Amy was feeling pretty awkward, one every time she'd turn around and look at clothes Sonic would always wonder off somewhere. Or hop into another store leaving Amy on her own. Two, Sonic would smile and say "I agree with whatever you think." whenever Amy asked his opinion. Amy turned once more to see Sonic in a store across from hers looking at a pair of Jordans sneakers. Amy sighed to herself.

"Hey Amy. Can we talk?"

Amy turned her head to see Toby wearing a nervous smile.

"I know about the whole restraining order thing, but please just hear me out."

"You got two minutes." Amy continued browsing through the clothing in the maternity selection.

"Ok, so, I understand that you wouldn't be in this whole predicament if it wasn't for me." He followed me as I walked to a next clothing rack.

"I'm with you so far."

"Ha, so to make it up to you. I decided to. . ." He fidgeted with his hands nervously looking down at the ground.

"To. . .?" Amy in complete and utter anticipation stared at him.

"I decided to. . .to help you raise the child." Toby sighed in relief.

"Who does he think he is? Leaving me alone like this with his child then suddenly wanting to hop back into my life with this nice boy attitude, thinking everything is going to be alright? What the hell is wrong with him?! Is this even real? Of course it is. Or what if this is just some shape-shifter who was sent to fool me into thinking that he wants to get back together? Now, now Amy let's get back to reality, what if he just wants to make amends? I don't know I have to think about it." Amy thought.

"There I said it. . .I."

"Oh."

"If I kind of jumped onto you with this, I-I am. . ." He sighed nervously. "I guess I'll just let you think about it."

Amy stood there and watched as Toby started walking away.

"Oh and to help you think a little bit, I dumped Candace for you." Toby walked away going back over by Terry and Celine in the store across from the one Amy was in. "Text or call me, if you want."

Amy nodded.

"I have to think. . ." Amy said to herself.

Sonic watched as Toby shouted something into the store that I last saw Amy in, looking a bit too happy.

What's going on? Sonic asked himself.

"Hey, Toby is Amy still in there?" Sonic asked.

"Uh, yeah, I was just talking to her." Toby pointed to Amy as she walked up to a next rack.

Sonic without any further questioning ran up to Amy and into the store, leaving Toby there with a confused stare in the other direction. "Ok. . ."

"Ames?" Sonic tapped Amy's shoulder.

"Huh, oh Sonic. What's up?"

"What's up? What was Toby doing in here with you? Did he touch you or talk to you?" Sonic worriedly asked.

"No and yes."

"Well, what did he say?"

"Well. . ." Amy scratched her head nervously.

"What did he say?"

Amy pondered for a moment. Should she tell him?

"Oh, he just wanted to know how I'm doing." Amy smiled.

"You know seeing him like that, could get him into serious trouble with the court." Sonic said feeling a bit jittery.

Amy sighed before drifting off into her own thoughts while Sonic continued in rambling on.

"It would be nice to have the actual genetic father around for the child. But I already had my heart set on Sonic being the father. . .I'll have to take a while to contemplate on this." Amy sighed for probably the millionth time that day. "Sonic would be a great dad but Toby would be a-gah to hell with all this damned thinking!"

"Is there something you're not telling me?" Sonic asked before crossing his arms.

"Huh? What, no of course there isn't." Amy smiled weakly.

Sonic raised his eyebrow in suspicion of Amy's weird behavior but quickly shook it off.

"So, I saw the coolest pair of Jordans in that store. I want them so bad. . ." Sonic smiled. "I swear as soon as I get my allowance I'll run down to the mall and buy them."

Amy watched as Sonic was smiling and jumping around in place eagerly before she yet again drifted off into her own thoughts once again and smiled as Sonic continued talking about the shoes.

"Sonic. . ." Amy smiled at her best friend whilst thinking as Sonic continued rambling on.

Amy turned and saw Toby walking into another store with Celine and Terry.

"Toby. . ." Amy's smile, still the same. "I guess I have enough time to choose from now until whenever."

So that's that! I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter! :)

Don't forget to R&R.

See you all another time. :D
