Eleven reviews…? Haha, I sure hope you all know how much you all made my day when I saw that! I was expecting something like, nine, but eleven (even though it's only two more than usual) is awesome! Thank you all so much!

Anyway, this chapter was inspired by GodsSonicGirl. She wanted me to write a chapter about Amy's pregnancy with the triplets…Yeah, you can't really tell the pregnancy is of triplets in this, but I hope I justified your idea anyway, GodsSonicGirl. Anywho, let's get going! Onwards, march!


Chapter nine

Miracle

The sun was starting to wake up and creep through the window blinds. Birds chirped quietly out in their trees, hoping not to disturb the world's sleepers. Three hedgehog children nestled up in their blankets and turned away from the sun's rays as they sighed in their sleep, no doubt still in dream land.

It was that morning when the blue hedgehog awoke to come face to face with his sleeping wife, her mouth slightly open as she breathed in, breathed out, in such a steady rhythm that the blue hedgehog almost fell back to sleep. But he yawned and sat up in bed, stretching his arms. Breathing in deeply, he again turned to his wife, where he could see a small bump on her stomach. Three months. She was three months along.

The blue hedgehog smiled dumbly. A new family member, and in six months. In half a year. In the season of fall. He reached out a hand and gently stroked the bulge, careful not to wake his sleeping wife.

So many questions were going through his mind. Was it a girl? A boy? Maybe twins, or triplets? What color what he or she be? Would the child be more like him or Amy? Would its eyes be jade or emerald colored? Would the kid grow up to be a doctor, a fireman, a dentist? Maybe the kid would love math and science. Maybe not. Suppose the kid could run as fast as he. Maybe the child would have a hammer later in life, like Amy did.

So many possibilities lay in that stomach of his wife's. So many different outcomes could take place. And for now, the baby was hardly anything more than a living mass in his wife. Someday, Sonic knew, the child would have emotions, likes, dislikes. Someday he knew the child would do more than suck its thumb and kick his wife in her sleep. Someday he knew the baby would grow into a toddler, a kid, a teenager, a young adult. Someday he figured the child would have its own children, start its own family.

Sonic blinked, not allowing himself to think that far into the future. He wanted this baby, his baby, to be his as long as possible. And if he thought of the future now, the child in his mind would already be grown up and out of the house, on its way to college.

His wife stirred in her sleep, and opened weary eyes. Blinking, she stared up at Sonic and smiled, who smiled back at her, their gazes full of promises and love.

"Sleep well?" he asked her.

"Mmm." She laid her hand on his, which still sat on her small belly. A comfortable silence.

"Whatcha thinking about?" he whispered.

"How much I love you."

"Really?"

"Mmm, na," she teased. "Thinking about the baby…our miracle." Sonic smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead lovingly.

"Me too."


This was a really fun chapter to write! I enjoyed it sooo much! Thanks for the idea, GodsSonicGirl!

So I'll be leaving for a week long trip starting tomorrow. I decided to update this before I left, and I guess if I were you, I wouldn't be surprised if I update this story again tonight. I want to update as much as I can before I go, and right now I'm not feeling my other stories…Anyway, thanks again, GodsSonicGirl, and I hope I justified your idea. Thanks for reading everybody!
