"Amy, you have to eat something. Not eating isn't good for the body."

"But..." the girl abruptly stopped in mid- sentence to gather her thoughts, "I'm not hungry."

"That may be so, but the baby sure is."

Amy allowed a small smile to sweep across her face as she reached out for the black hedgehog's hand; happy that her lover cared for her as much as he did. "Thank you baby, But I am afraid I'll just throw it up again. I already threw up yesterday's dinner."

Shadow cringed in repugnance as he tried carefully not to chuck up his own digested food. "Well….at least try. Usually you are starving in the morning and always grouchy because you haven't eaten. Are you sure you aren't hungry, Or just guilty because of yesterday's events?"

"What do you mean?"

Shadow quirked an eyebrow while grasping the pink hedgehog's hand. "You know what happened Amy. No need to bring it up."

"Oh…….with Cream."

He nodded. "You were a bit harsh."

"And I regret it too!" she sighed, "I haven't seen her cry like that since Vanilla died."

"So you know what you must do?"

Amy nodded as she flashed a slight smile and got up from the table. "I do, and I am about to go do it now."

He couldn't help but gaze upon her as she slept. Her chest heaving slowly up and down as she breathed silently. Her slight movements she would give every now and then to return back to her state of comfort. The way she would grasp on tighter to his fur if he tried to shift in any other position than besides next to her. It all was breathtaking and Tails never wanted it to end. He hadn't seen Cream so at peace in years. He honestly forgot how she looked when she was truly content. It had been that long. That long since he seen her truly laugh. That long since he seen her truly smile. She had changed so much that he forgot how happy she could be. He enjoyed watching her sleep for he felt a sense of the old cream. The one who thought sex was a dessert. The one who never even heard a swear word in her life, let alone used one. The cream that was as pure as freshly fallen snow. That was the Cream he felt he was with and he didn't want her to go away.

"Tails…" she whispered lightly into his ear, grasping the fox's attention. He realized she was just talking in her sleep and it made a smile form across his face. She always did that. Ever since they were little.

With a light kiss being laid upon her baby pink lips, Amber eyes began to flutter open; with their first sight being a matching pair of golden colored orbs. None belonging to no one other than the kitsune himself.

"Hi." She whispered.

"Morning." He paused and placed another kiss upon her lips, "How do you feel."

"I'm ok. I feel much better now though."

"Why?"

"Because…" she grinned and moved closer to the kitsune, "I had my fairy tale first time."

The fox let out a low chuckle as he began to caress the girl's nude back. "I'm happy if you are happy."

"Tails?"

"Yea?"

"I love you."

Tails smiled and hugged Cream. "I love you too Cream."

"Are…..you still mad?"

He sighed. "No. I just wish you would have told someone."

"But…. she tried to plead; only to have the kitsune cut her off by placing a finger over her lips.

"Forget it. It's over. Just promise me something."

The girl nodded and waited for the fox to continue. "Promise me that you won't ever cut yourself…..AGAIN."

She traced her golden colored orbs from the kitsune chest to the view of the silk sheets covering her nude body. His demand was great but she wanted to grant his wish. She thought that if she told him how great the feeling was once that razor's edge met her skin and how exhilarating it could be, he might have allowed it. It was her sense of freedom he was taking away. She just couldn't give up the cutting. It made her who she was.

"Tails…" she whispered, "I can't make such a promise. It's just…too much to ask."

"Cream…you're hurting yourself."

"No I'm not. It feels good. It gives me release of stress and anxiety."

"Cream.." he whispered lowly, just low enough for only the two parties involved to hear, "Please stop. I can't have you hurt yourself."

"But..."

"Stop." He interjected with a light kiss placed upon the young rabbit's lips. He needed her to stop hurting herself. It was the only way his pain could ease, "For me."

Cream smiled as she positioned herself closer to her lover and snuggled deep within his chest fur. "I'll try….but I'll need help."

"I'll be here for you. We'll do the therapy and everything. Just as long as you stop hurting yourself."

She let out a quiet sigh of relief that her love didn't judge her; thankful and content as well.

"I love you Miles."

"And I love you Cream."

With only inches separating the couple from another passionate kiss, a knock on the door startled them and a state of nervousness overcame the two. As cream began to make a jump to retrieve her clothes, the wooden barrier opened and revealed a familiar pink hedgehog.

"Cream….OH!" She gasped as she began to blush lightly at the sight before her, "I'm sorry. I didn't know Tails was with you."

"It's alright Amy. I'll just get dressed so you two can talk."

Cream gasped and pulled Tails arm, shielding Amy's peering eyes from gazing upon her blossoming assets. "I don't want to talk to her." She whispered, "I have nothing to say."

"Cream." He smiled as he pulled away and began to put on his boxers, "You have to."

"No I don't" she countered as she folded her lean arms over her protruding chest; earning a smile from the fox, "I don't want to either."

"You have to."

But before she could respond, the kitsune already began to head out of the bedroom door, giving her a wink and a slight smile of encouragement before he left her and the pregnant hedgehog alone. He thought they needed their privacy while she thought other wise. She didn't want to be alone with Amy and sure didn't feel like talking to her either. It was bad enough she lost trust and respect for her but for them to talk about was just plain suicide for the bunny. But she remembered what Tails told her before they made love the night before. She guessed he was right after all about the talk about it in the morning part. But it would have helped her if he elaborated more on the issue of who she'd be talking with.

"Hey." Came a voice, "…….Got a goodnight rest?"

The bunny nodded as she grabbed the silk sheets and wrapped them around her nude form. "Fine."

"I see you and Tails finally done it huh?" she smiled and giggled, "Was he good?"

Cream raised an eyebrow at the question and gave silence as a response; signaling to Amy that the answer was classified information. Getting the hint, Amy became quiet and turned away to stare at a blank wall, not bringing herself to say anything else until the bunny did. Thinking that it would only be a few moments, she patiently waited, but soon realized seconds turned into minutes as the silence dwelled on; creating an awkward tension between the two that neither wanted to break.

"Well…" Cream finally said, breaking the moment of deadly silence between the two, "I'm going to go shower. I guess we'll talk……soon."

"Cream…" Amy blurted out, "We have to talk."

"No we don't. You said your peace yesterday. You said enough."

"Cream…." She sighed, "I just…..was upset. I expected great things from you. I knew you would turn out to be something great but when I saw that pregnancy box…..I lost it. I know you are better than that and you always have been. I am just sorry I was too much of a bitch to realize that and not let my accusations cloud my judgment. All of that stuff I didn't mean. HONEST!" She paused and took a breath, "I was just mad and wanted to get the truth out of you by breaking you. Please forgive me cream. I need my sister back."

"Well..." the bunny sighed, "I accept your apology Amy but…"

"But?"

The girl nodded and continued. "It'll take time for me to forgive you fort hose hurtful things. We're always going to be friends…but our family bond will take some time to heal."

"Understandable." She replied with a smile, "I don't blame you either."

"Good. Now I think I need to take a shower. I don't feel to clean now."

"Oh." Giggled Amy, "Okay, well I'll be in the living room and when you are ready we'll spend the whole day together. Just you and me. I want to make it up to you."

"But what about he guys?"

"The guys and mall don't exactly mix cream. Besides, they said they have to go to home depot later and visit some friends."

"Oh…" Cream giggled at the word depot and got up to head to the bathroom, "Alright, I'll be ready in an hour……Oh and Amy?"

"Yes?" the pink hedgehog called from the doorway smiling.

"He WAS amazing."

With a huge smile and a fit of laughter between the two girls, Amy felt that this was only the beginning of a new and improved bond between her and her best friend.
