Chapter 10: Sweetest Revenge

Amy watched from the kitchen to see Sonic making Romeo laughed. Her face formed a small smile. She invited him over after school and they both set out to the daycare to pick up the two baby hedgehogs. Carolina was sleeping peacefully in her swing and Romeo was watching T.V. until him and Sonic got to know each other a little better. They were suppose to be working on their science project together, but plans changed after picking the kids up. Amy had to quickly whip something up for them to eat and then they can proceed to their project.

''...And once you hear the knock at the door-'' Sonic dashed to the door and gave a gentle knock before coming back to the little green hedgehog. ''That's when-''

''Sonic!'' Amy called from the kitchen. ''What are you telling my nephew?'' She couldn't help, but giggle. Sonic been telling the little boy how to play certain tricks on girls. Once Romeo came into the room, he mentioned a yellow female hedgehog his age named Delilah that kept bugging him. He was tired of her and so Sonic came to the rescue.

''Nothing!'' He called back before turning back Romeo. ''We'll finish having this chat when you're older.''

''How old?'' He gave a toothy grin. ''I wanna know now!''

''Your auntie won't approve.'' Sonic laughed.

''But-''

''Sorry, kid. Next time.'' Sonic winked.

''Promise?''

''Pinky promise.'' Sonic held out his pinky and they both promised. ''Why don't you watch some cartoons?'' Once the T.V. was on, Sonic made his way into the kitchen where Amy was washing potatoes. ''When's dinner finish?' He rubbed his stomach.

''Who said you was getting any?''

''I didn't know we were getting that kinky.'' He winked at her. She turned to him with an angry look and a flushed face. ''Go fuck yourself.'' She humphed.

Sonic laughed. ''Why would I do that?'' She turned to him. ''When I have you to do it for me.'' He gave her a devious smile. She found a nearby towel and threw it at him, which he caught expertly. ''Someone can't throw.''

''I can't believe,'' She turned to him playfully. ''I invite you in my house, let you play with my niece and nephew, cooking you dinner and this is how you repay me?'' Her face gave a smile. Sonic took a seat at a chair and looked at the pink pale hedgehog. Carolina's eyes fluttered open and she giggled at seeing the blue hedgehog. He held her carefully in his arms and began playing with her. ''You're so adorable!'' He cooed. ''Why can't you be my baby!?''

Amy rolled her eyes, but she did enjoy the sight at seeing Sonic being so playful with kids. He'd make a great father one day. ''Never knew beneath that devil blue fur there was actually a heart.''

''I'm a sucker for little ones.'' He held Carolina against his chest and let her play with his fingers. ''I'm lovable.''

''Right.'' Amy replied sarcastically.

''You know what?'' Sonic gave her a toothy grin. ''Me and you should have a baby!''

Amy turned to him, her eyes half closed and she stabbed the knife on the cutting board. ''Don't find yourself six feet under.'' She threatened and pointed the knife at him. Sonic stared at her wide-eyed. ''I'm kidding!''

Amy laughed and continued to cook. Sonic put the baby girl back in her swing and watched Amy cook for a while. The silence was okay for the both of them. After they eat dinner they plan on putting a movie on for the kids and work on their project in the small kitchen at the round black table. Sonic planned on leaving at nine he promised his mother.

When dinner was finished, they ate in silence. Occasionally glances and smirks were thrown at each other. Romeo ate his food in silence and Amy bottled fed Carly. Sonic took notice how gentle she was being compared how the way she acts when at school. This question bothered his mind all the time. He knew Amy was a devious girl, but she had that miracle side apart of her that says ''Come and hold me. I need you.'' He silently at his food and forgot all about the question. He was wrong about her.

''Is it good?'' Amy asked, smiling. Sonic almost choked on his food when she first said something in a while. He put down his silverware and smiled up at her. ''The best I ever had.'' He played along with her. Carly began gurgling, so Amy picked up the baby and bounced her up and down gently, trying to get the baby to burp. ''The worst part.'' She groaned.

''Why?''

''It's one of my fears that she'll throw up on me.'' Amy giggled. ''I know it's stupid and all, but she's is a baby afterall.''

Amy washed dishes while Sonic played The Lion King for the two kids. Romeo held Carly up in a upright position so that she can look at the movie, although she wouldn't notice what's going on. Sonic helped Amy clean up the kitchen and noticed the time said Seven-thirty. They began their project right away.

After countless times of arguing in class, free-periods, after school, and even at lunch. They finally found out what they want to do for their science project. Sonic wanted to play with glow in the dark. Amy wanted to play with cross-breed genetics. So, in order to do this, the both of them put their minds together and came up with a brilliant plan. Amy read the book that Jules let her have and learned so much about science.

''Alright Sonic,'' She got out a couple pieces of line paper and handed him some. ''We need to write down the things we will need. Supplies.''

''Why need supplies when we have my dad?'' Sonic shrugged. ''I was thinking we should-''

''Hold on.'' Amy hushed him. She got up from her seat and looked out the window. There was no doubt that the police's lights were loud and bright as ever. There were too many cars to count, but they were in front of the apartment where they lived. ''Oh no.'' She breathed. Amy dashed in front of the T.V, turning it off. This left a grumpy Romeo. ''Why you do that for?''

Sonic came into the doorway, leaning against it with his arms crossed. ''Amy? Something wrong?''

''You need to take Romeo and Carolina in the room upstairs. Doors shut and lock.'' She demanded. Amy gently picked up the sleeping baby and placed her in Sonic's arms. ''Amy that's not-''

''Just do it!"' She ordered, hastily. ''Romeo follow him!'' The little green hedgehog nodded, speechless. He remembered a time like this happening, but instead of Amy, it was his mother yelling for them to be locked in the room. Romeo couldn't remember what it was about, but he sure knew it was nothing to play with. Sonic took his hand and ran upstairs with the both of them.

Amy looked out the window once more. ''What could they possibly want now?''

A loud siren was heard. Amy felt like they could read her mind. ''We're looking for Scourge the Hedgehog. Wanted, Wanted, Wanted. Robbed the bank on Hillsbury Drove and killed three people, not to forget to mention keeping the whole bank hostage. Come out now and Surrender!''

Scourge!?

Amy's mind went blank. This happened before earlier in the years, before Carolina was even born. Scourge told them he changed and quit his ways. Amy knew it was too good to be true. Nonetheless, she still loved him like her older brother. Maybe that's why he wanted to get away, to go on that couple's trip. He knew what he did was wrong.

Amy glanced at the time. Nine-thirty. Police were still outside the apartment. The pink hedgehog closed the curtains and ran upstairs where Sonic was still rocking Carolina to sleep and Romeo had his head on his shoulder with his thumb in his mouth.

''What happened?'' Sonic asked. As far as Amy knew, Sonic didn't know much about her home-life or her family-life. And that's the way things are going to stay. For once, she wanted this handsome blue hedgehog to like her, not to run away from her. Now that she's thinking about it, Amy never mentioned anything to her friends. Not even Cream, her best friend. Far as she knows, they think she's the richest girl at school and have the life every girl craved.

Amy was happy with her life, minus the criminal part. Maybe her parents were crazy, and her sister was dating a criminal. She had a nephew and niece that she loved to pieces and she was the most hottest and popular-est girl at school. She also had the handsome blue hedgehog's attention, she thought.

''Amy?''

''Nothing.''
