Author's Note- So fanfiction gave me ALOT of trouble uploading this...but here's a fast update to make it up to you guys! It's the actual confrontation as promised!
As always, thank you to my reviewers and readers! I hope you all are still interested! We're just only beginning ;)
ENJOY =)
All three boys sat, looking at one another in silence. One had a look of regret on his face, one had the look of comical horror, and the other looked solemn as ever.
"Umm…what was that?", Tails asked
"Tails I was about to beat your ass! You almost spilled! Don't be such a pansy!"
"Me? Pansy? You were the one who sounded stupid and tried to cover it up with compliments 'cause you were scared! So who's really the pansy?"
"Compliments? Really Tails? I was stating facts actually and if you didn't notice I was very fearless and Blaze already knows what it is…she won't do anything to me 'cause she knows who wears the pants!"
"How would you feel if I told you I have that recorded?"
Silver's face changed so dramatically from confident to straight that one could almost laugh at how comical it looked.
"Let's grow up Tails…we don't need to do all of those childish things."
"We don't?"
"No we don't, now-"
"CAN YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP! PLEASE! DAMMIT!"
Both males looked over to the blue hedgehog who they noticed hadn't said a word almost the entire time since the girls came in.
"Geez Sonic…sorry…gosh we sound like idiots...this is really selfish of us…", Tails replied in embarrassment.
"Why didn't you say anything at all man?", Silver asked upon hearing his friend's voice.
Sonic inhaled fully and exhaled heavily.
"I don't know", he said simply and quietly.
"How could you not know?", Silver asked with a tone of cockiness.
"'Cause I just don't!"
"Silver just give it a rest…", Tails said rubbing his temples.
"NO! Sonic you can't go acting like a pussy now and I'm telling the truth. I know I'm not one to talk but then again I'm not the one who has to deal with a girl who I knocked up!"
Tails looked up in surprise at Silver, knowing that he crossed a delicate line. Then he looked at Sonic who was seething mad.
In a swift second Sonic was up from his seat with so much force that is fell back in a loud commotion. He was over at Silver's seat in a sonic second and pushed it hard enough so it jerked from side to side, surprising the shaken up gray hedgehog.
Silver initially looked at Sonic with surprise but then it turned into anger within seconds. He, himself, jolted up from his seat and stepped out to stand face to face with Sonic.
"You wanna fight or something bro?", he asked in all seriousness.
"That depends…you ready to take back what you said?"
"What I said was no lie, did you or did you not have sex with Amy on a whim and get her pregnant?"
Sonic and Silver were about a foot away from each other but Sonic closed the space by forcefully head-butting his head into Silver's. He growled,
"You're really pissing me off Silver…"
"GUYS JUST CHILL OUT!", Tails scolded standing up now, ready to intervene at any time.
Silver stood nonchalantly and replied,
"Why does that piss you off so much?"
"I DIDN'T KNOCK AMY UP!"
"So what do you call it these days?"
Sonic growled loudly and forcefully pushed Silver away from him. Silver stumbled back and fell on the carpeted restaurant floor. Just as quickly as he fell he got back up and charged for Sonic who was prepared for this rebound. They were equally matched, trying to force the other one down.
"GUYS PLEASE!", Tails yelled but still didn't get into it. He was far too physically inferior to get either hedgehog off at this point.
"You're just mad because these things are true Sonic, and you're mad that you just watched Amy leave and you were too pussy to say anything to her."
"SHUT UP SILVER!"
Sonic inherited some new found strength and got Silver into a retraining hold. Even as Silver was getting the life strangled out of him he managed to choke out,
"So why are you mad?"
Tails looked very panicked. He didn't want to go over and get himself into it before it was a triple threat match. He resorted to sitting down and just letting it happen. He knew they would get kicked out soon anyway.
"You don't know what this is like Silver! I CARE ABOUT AMY OK!"
"Y-yeah, enough t-to ignore h-her after y-you knocked h-her up."
If there was any breath left in Silver, it was constricted even more by Sonic's hold after his statement. He flipped Silver onto the ground and let go of him.
"THAT WAS A MISTAKE! SHIT! I FUCKING CARE ABOUT AMY OK!"
"HEY HEY! YOU GENTLEMEN NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!"
Sonic didn't even look at anyone, he just stormed out of the restaurant with obvious anger radiating around him.
The manager of the restaurant helped Silver up from the floor. He rubbed his throat and said,
"Can a guy get a cup of water on the house or what?"
Tails looked at him with the (-_-) face and then said,
"You see what happens?"
"Look, he was the one who wanted to fight and-"
"OUT BOTH OF YOU!", the manager scolded.
Silver rubbed his neck some more while walking slowly out the door with Tails following behind shaking his head.
Once they were outside they saw Sonic who was about to race off.
"SONIC WAIT!"
Sonic looked back towards his "lil bro" who had called out to him.
Tails took this opportunity to go over to him. Silver on the other hand went back inside the restaurant to bargain for some water.
"Can we talk about this Sonic…you only have today to get things straight, so you can't go running off now."
Sonic looked down at the ground before saying,
"Tails…I never imagined this ever happening…especially to me…for once…I have no idea what to do…what to say…"
"And Sonic…that's ok…you're not perfect…but you said something back there…you care about Amy?"
"Yes…I know that sounds very wrong coming from me but I honestly do…"
"Alright…but how much?"
Sonic was quiet for a long period of time. He picked his head up from the floor and looked at Tails in the eye.
"Enough…
Enough that I'm here right now to be a man about this…enough that I risked my job more than once to do her justice…enough that I haven't fooled around with any other girl since we've been intimate…enough that…I feel…regret…for doing this to her."
Tails looked like he wasn't too far off from shedding a manly tear or two.
"Oh Sonic…I know the average person, aka Silver, wouldn't really understand how big those things are in your book but I do and you can help her understand too…just be that confident Sonic that I look up to…you have to be for this."
Sonic looked at Tails with a warming smirk.
"You were always the most intelligent outta all of us kid."
"Sonic, I'm 21 years old…"
"You're still the kid buddy…but in all seriousness, you always seem to know the right thing to say…thanks lil bro."
"It's no problem…but are you and Silver gonna be good?"
"Sure me and blue boy are gonna be good!"
Silver had come over with a jumbo sized cup filled with God knows what. He winked at Sonic who had smirked in return.
"Look bro, I was just tryna give you a wakeup call 'cause the girls are gonna throw worse things at you than what I had to say…
And plus…Amy's like a little sis to me so I had to know that when you say you care about her it's legit 'cause there ain't no way that you guys are gonna have a baby and you're gonna do some dumb shit to her… I know you man…
But judging by how angry you got and how you almost succeeded in killing me…this shit is real huh?"
Sonic sighed heavily and then finally spoke.
"Yeah…it is…ever since college I knew it was something serious…
And sorry about that…the almost killing thing…this shit is just taking all of my willpower and of course you said the wrong thing at the wrong time…as usual…but I shouldn't have lost my cool."
"It's all good, we're not about to be girls about it and then destroy each other over the internet and steal each other's girlfriends."
Sonic smirked and then said,
"Well, I don't have a girlfriend for you to steal so…"
"Hmm touche"
"So…Daddies?", Sonic said with a smile on his face.
"OH EM GEE! YOU REALLY ACCEPTED YOUR ROLE AS SUGAR DADDY?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…"
"You already know, Mack Daddy and Sugar Daddy on the prowl!"
The two gave each other dap and then Tails decided to speak up after being silenced.
"Now that that's all resolved…what are we gonna do now…the girls left remember?"
"Oh Tails, way to be a downer!", Silver said throwing his hands desperately into the air as if pleading for help from a higher being.
"I say we go to them…"
"No shit! If we don't, we'll be in trouble…any way you put it, we're in trouble...I already know this from experience and plus this isn't even about us. Sonic woulda had to go anyway 'cause he only has today to talk this out."
"Alright…then where do you think they went?"
"I don't know…text Cream."
"NUH UH! Why don't you text Blaze?"
"'Cause Blaze will fire his ass up that's why!", Sonic said interrupting. Silver responded by giving him the (-_-) face.
Tails- Where did you go babe?
Cream- we went to Blaze's house…r u guys coming?
Tails- Yeah…should we bring some shields?
Cream- lol this isn't the time to be joking…I'm supposed to be mad at u for LYING TO ME!
"They're at Blaze's house right now…"
"Aww shit…", Silver groaned.
"Well…now or never huh boys?", Sonic said sounding more like his confident self.
All three guys stood by the door. Silver was in the front with the keys, Sonic was at the side breathing deeply, and Tails looked as if he was silently praying.
"Ok guys, here it goes…", Silver said as he slipped the key into the lock and turned it open.
As all three men stepped into the house they first noticed the vicious stares of two women.
"So, you came?", Blaze said first after a short period of just stares.
"Uhh…yeah…I had to come eventually…", Silver replied a bit uneasily.
"You got that right…and you brought company?", she asked knowingly.
"Blaze…you and I both know what's about to go on, so sarcasm is useless here…", the hedgehog answered with slight annoyance.
His girlfriend simply rolled her eyes and crossed her arms on her seat.
The awkwardness in the air was stifling. Blaze continued to stare at her boyfriend, Cream looked pleadingly to Tails, and Sonic's eyes kept wandering around the house.
Just when the awkwardness couldn't get any stiffer, there was a loud commotion by the stairs and everyone watched as a pink hedgehog stumbled down about 2 steps of the stairs and landed on her butt.
They heard a quiet,
"Shit…"
Everyone made a movement to go to the stairs but the gray hedgehog signaled for everyone to stay put.
Silver went over to the stairs where he said,
"Damn Ugly, don't kill yourself now."
Amy gave Silver the evil eyes before letting him help her up. She dusted herself off and pulled down her skirt before looking into the living room. She almost stumbled back from all the eyes watching her intently.
She walked slowly to the living room with Silver close behind her. She first looked to Blaze and Cream who looked very sorry. Then she looked over to Tails who quickly looked away from her. Finally she looked over to Sonic who looked back at her with meaningful purpose in his eyes. That's when she was the one who looked away.
Amy took a seat on the couch next to Blaze and Cream, where she was originally before they had…guests.
The awkwardness increased tenfold and so did the silence. That was when one voice was heard loudly and clearly.
"Amy, can I talk to you somewhere private?"
Everyone looked up to the voice except the person the voice was trying to capture.
Silver and Tails watched each other as if they were silently communicating something. When they noticed that Amy had no intention of answering Tails said,
"Umm Cream, let's go outside…I'll explain myself now..."
Cream seemed to catch the hint and answered,
"Alright…you might want to come too Blaze…"
Blaze's arms were still crossed with a stern look on her face. It slightly softened when she looked over at Amy who was fidgeting with her skirt next to her. She lightly rubbed her back for comfort and then got up from the couch.
Tails opened the door and walked outside with Cream and Blaze behind him. Silver finally got up from his seat and was about to walk out the door with them, when Blaze shut the door behind her deliberately. Silver sighed heavily, rolled his eyes, and then opened the door back again to go outside with the rest.
This finally left Sonic and Amy alone.
Sonic looked at Amy as if he were studying her. He watched as she kept smoothing out her skirt and then fixing her shirt.
When is she gonna look at me?
Make her look at you!
Oh no…please don't confuse me!
MAKE HER LOOK AT YOU!
Sonic walked over to where Amy was sitting and kneeled down before her so he could meet her fallen eyes.
"Amy?"
Amy had no choice but to acknowledge the aura of blue that had just obstructed her peripheral vision. She looked up from her skirt and met light, lime green eyes.
"Amy are you gonna talk to me?"
The pink hedgehog looked away from him and at her skirt once again.
"You know you have to talk to me right?"
Sonic watched as the girl finally showed a sign of something. Although small, her face twitched into very slight anger before returning back to her same unemotional face. Once again she behaved as if no one was in the room with her, talking to her, pleading with her.
"Umm…ok…well you're listening right?"
As expected the girl had no reaction but Sonic continued anyway. He took a deep breath before talking once again.
"Amy…I'm sorry…you hear me? I'm sorry…Please talk to me now…"
Sonic watched as Amy still played with her skirt. It was starting to irritate him highly. Here he was coming out of all his comfort zones, stressing himself out, missing work, and putting his most vulnerable feelings on the line just for the receiving end to be unresponsive.
"Can we PLEASE talk right now Amy, I don't have much time…"
The pink hedgehog still played with her skirt.
"AMY YOU HAVE TO TALK TO ME! PLEASE!", Sonic yelled furiously and desperately while slamming his hands onto the couch.
Amy looked up incredulously at the blue hedgehog who had just yelled at her. Little did the blue hedgehog know that he just set off the ticking time bomb.
"Don't .You. Dare…yell at me…", Amy said slowly and quietly with a stern voice.
Sonic backed up from Amy and was inwardly relieved and excited that he got her to speak but then realized what he had just done to get such a reaction.
"And as a matter of fact… I. Don't. Have to do. SHIT!", she continued putting extra emphasis on her last word.
Oh no…
Don't act like you didn't know this was coming…
I almost thought it wasn't…almost…
Sonic nodded his head and then said,
"I-I know…I-I'm sorry Amy…I-"
"I heard you…you're sorry…great!"
Sonic looked like he just took a slap in the face.
This isn't gonna be easy
No shit sherlock!
Well at least I got her to talk
Keep it going…
"Look Amy, I should have never acted the way I have been recently. I should have been around for you…but I-I was just so…shocked…
I never had to deal with this before…"
Sonic watched as Amy started to impatiently tap her foot and contort her face. He watched as her chest expanded and retracted very visibly and slowly.
She's mad…I know that much about this female
Push her buttons...she's loaded with emotion ready to spill!
Piece of cake!
"I just wish you could answer me baby, that's the least you could do…I'm on a timely schedule here…"
Sonic watched in inward delight as Amy looked at him fiercely and gave him the visual of a raging bull ready to charge. Still she wasn't saying anything.
Finish her!
Fatality?
Do your worst! But…prepare yourself…
"Fine, I don't even know why I came then…if you want to be alone through this then fine have it your way!"
"You have some FUCKING nerve…"
Got her
"Really? I'm just trying to make things right and you very obviously don't want to be bothered so maybe I should just go huh?"
Part of what Sonic was saying had some hidden truth behind it but of course his chosen tone of voice and choice of words were just to piss Amy off to get her to talk to him and get it all out on the table.
You're on dangerous territory now boy!
"You know what then?…LEAVE! I DON'T FUCKING NEED YOU! I THOUGHT I MADE IT OBVIOUS ENOUGH!"
She doesn't mean it…stay cool
"Do you really want me to Amy? Do you remember the last time you did something like this?", Sonic walked over to the door with his hand on the knob for theatrical emphasis. He was referring to a few years ago when she had ordered him away, a few years ago when she never wanted him to be in contact with her...and look how that turned out...
Sonic watched Amy and how her sea green eyes watched his own. The setting sun from the window shades shined perfectly into them, illuminating them with golden accents.
His expression turned to one of sympathy when he could so clearly see the tears that were building up in the pink hedgehog's eyes.
I'm going too far...
I'd say not far enough!
I can't hurt her like this...
But she has to take out her frustrations now so you can understand where you two are going from here.
I JUST WISH SHE WOULD TALK!
"Sonic…did you come here to just to say sorry, make everything my fault, and then hope that everything would magically be fixed?"
Two tears fell from Amy's face and more than anything Sonic just wanted to rush over and hold her, telling her that he doesn't mean anything that he's doing but like his other mind was telling him, he needed her to be brutally honest with him so he could fix things…he only had this one chance.
When Sonic didn't say anything and just looked at her, Amy continued.
"You really think just a sorry can fix things right now? Is sorry going to change the FACT that YOU were the one ignoring ME? And is sorry really going to make this baby go away?…I bet you wish it would Sonic…"
Sonic tried to keep a straight, confident face but it was becoming harder to do with each word Amy said.
She thinks I'm horrible…
You can't really blame her…but let her feel that for now
"It's funny you feel this way Sonic…begging me to talk to you…KARMA IS A BITCH HUH?", Amy said yelling the last part fiercely.
Here we go…
"I HATE YOU SONIC! I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW!"
Amy now had tears coming down from her eyes, spilling rather freely.
"You know…I once thought I needed you through this…I DON'T need you…"
She's just talking on impulse as usual…stay focused
"The only person who needs you here is…"
Amy looked down to her stomach and held it with one hand. Then she looked up at Sonic who had followed her actions.
"And that's why…and the only reason why…we need to resolve this."
So she wants to? …So she's actually gonna be easy about this?
Not a chance
"But trust me Sonic, if this was my choice…I'd never speak to you again and you'd be out of my life! I FUCKING HATE YOU and I can never say it enough.
…This whole thing was a big mistake and I'll never let you come so close to my heart ever again… because you're just gonna run away…I CAN'T run away like YOU can SONIC!
You say you were shocked? You never had to deal with this before? So how the FUCK do you think I felt? Better yet, how do you think I felt when you left? How do you think I felt when you wouldn't answer me? How do you think I felt the moment I realized I had to do this alone?
I'll never trust you Sonic and I'll never put my faith in you. I don't even have hope that you're the same guy that I thought I liked…it was all a facade and a figment of my imagination…
I only pray to God that you'll be a better father than a person 'cause ready or not here it comes…I'm having this baby with or without you!"
I prefer the shouting…to THIS…I can't bare THIS anymore…WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
"...I only pray to God that you'll be a better father than a person 'cause ready or not here it comes…I'm having this baby with or without you!"
Ouch...
Double, Triple, Quadruple OUCH!
That's just impulses speaking...
Amy's eyes were mini waterfalls at the moment and that was when Sonic acted on his impulses. He went over to Amy and resumed his kneeling position. He took Amy's hands into his. Of course the girl resisted and tried to pull her hands out but then,
"Amy look at me."
"Let go of me…", she said softly with tears falling on both of their hands.
Sonic shook her hands in his and said with more seriousness,
"Amy look at me!"
"What Sonic? What do you wanna say? What can you say?", Amy said looking into his eyes.
"Everything I said before was just to get a rise out of you…I needed you to say exactly what you just did…and I accept it…I accept it ALL…because…I was wrong…
I'm sure that as much as I say sorry and that I shoulda been there and I shouldn't have ignored you, won't be enough…and that's ok too…
…I do want to be involved though Amy…the time I was away and 'ignoring you' was time well spent thinking and realizing things…
You don't have to take my apology…I just want you to know that I want to take responsibility for this now and I'll do whatever I need to do for this baby…our baby…"
That sounds scary
Sonic looked to Amy for a reaction and saw left over tears coming out from her eyes and the same emotionless look he had seen from her initially.
"Alright…if you say so…", Amy replied very uninterested.
This girl really doesn't believe me…
Well she did said she won't ever trust you…
Thanks a lot (-_-)
"I DO mean it Amy…"
"Ok…I heard you…"
Sonic stood up and leaned against the nearest wall. After a short period of silence Sonic spoke up,
"So…we have to discuss somethings about this then…like plans?", he said trying to break the ice.
"I haven't made a definite plan with my doctor as yet…at my next appointment we'll discuss that."
"Where's your doctor?"
"Georgetown Medical Center."
Amy's answers were quick and uninterested. This irritated Sonic but he had to remember to calm down.
"When's your next appointment?"
"In two weeks."
"Can I come?"
Amy looked at over at Sonic in slight confusion. He had his arms crossed as he leaned back on the wall.
"I really don't care if you do…"
Here we go again
"Alrighty then…", Sonic said under his breath.
"What is your job like Sonic?"
Sonic looked over at Amy, a bit surprised that she'd even asked him something.
"Demanding as hell…I'm a business intern…and…the reason why I couldn't get to you any sooner was because of how demanding it is but…expenses won't be a problem if that's what you're getting at…"
Sonic watched as Amy looked down at her interesting as hell skirt yet again.
"I'm still gonna work for a few months anyway so I'm not depending on you or anything…"
Sonic looked at Amy incredulously now.
"Are you out of your mind Amy? I have more than enough money to pay for anything you need! Why would you work? Just…focus on the baby stuff…"
"Sonic, it's not like I broke my fucking leg…I can walk and I can definitely work for a little while longer. The last thing I want to do is depend on your ass.
And if you have a problem with it then I'd like to see you try to stop me…oh that's right you can't…'cause you probably won't be around much anyway…"
Sonic's face looked pissed off and before he could say something that would ruin this all, he simply rolled his eyes and sighed.
"How are you doing Amy?"
Amy quickly answered,
"Great! Marvelous!"
Sonic smirked and almost wanted to laugh at the complete lie Amy just told.
"That's fantastic to hear!", he answered back with a faked pleasant tone and earned a (-_-) face from the pink hedgehog watching him.
During a period of silence, Sonic noticed that the sun was just about set and it was darkening in the room. He knew he had to get at least 3 hours of sleep before heading back to work.
"Amy…I know you don't believe me but I'm gonna be here ok?…But I have to go back for work now…I'd really like to come to your next appointment with you if it's alright…"
Amy played with her skirt and mumbled,
"I said I don't care…"
"Alright…well…"
Amy finally looked up and saw how Sonic was walking towards her. He stood in front of her and then said,
"Can I say bye to you properly?"
"Saying it is good enough for me."
Sonic sighed heavily and then said,
"Bye Amy, I'll see you soon…"
Amy just looked at him and without warning, he bent down quickly and kissed her on the forehead. Amy audibly gasped and was about to say something but Sonic already has his back turned and had the door opened.
However, in popped,
"How the hell did we stay outside from the sun up to sun down like we're tryna go camping or some shit like that?"
"SILVER CAN IT! We're going inside now!"
"Those two have to be done by now! Hell I'm surprised your house isn't fucked up babe."
Sonic cleared his throat and caught the attention of Silver, Blaze, Cream, and Tails.
"For the record, we ARE finished and I was just on my way out…but I'd like to have a word with you boys before I go."
Blaze and Cream avoided eye contact with the blue hedgehog and simply walked past him and into the house.
Silver shut the door closed and that left the 3 guys outside.
"I wanna thank you both extremely! Without you guys…who knows what stupid shit I probably woulda done by now…"
"So does that mean everything's ok?", Tails asked innocently.
"Oh! Hell nah!…but it's better than before I guess…I can only be there like I said and see where it goes from there…"
"That sounds like Sonic THE Hedgehog talking some stupid wisdom…good to have you back bro.", Silver said smacking Sonic on the back.
"Umm…yeah…thanks!", Sonic replied smacking Silver in the same way.
"So did everything work out with you guys?", he continued
"Yep! Just some good ol' Silver charm does the trick everytime…you can't get this for sale!"
"Haha I'm sure!", Sonic said gesturing to Tails who laughed. Silver simply crossed his arms in confidence.
"Well you know the drill then…text us when you come back?", Tails asked.
"Sure thing! See you guys soon."
Tails went up to Sonic and have him an honest hug that Sonic returned.
"Well I'm not usually about hugging males and stuff but I'll make this one slight exception."
"Oh just come here Mack Daddy! You know you want it!"
Sonic grabbed Silver into a hug.
"COOTIES!", he yelled
Sonic let go and laughed before doing what was becoming his signature salute.
With that, Sonic raced off.
