Sonic was completely in his happy place, the weather was beautiful as was the scenery; just right for running. Something else was there to that just seemed to top it off and that was for the first time in a long time he wasn't running alone.
The blue hedgehog looked over to the silver hedgehog who seemed to be having as much fun as he was, the pair encouraging each other to go faster making them look like no more then a blue and silver blur. By the time the pair returned home it was already sunset and Amy was standing at the door not looking impressed.
"Where the hell have you two been?" she demanded grabbing both boys by the ear and dragging them inside.
"I have been worried sick about you guys, how could you just run off after an attack like that honestly I mean what were you thinking," she ranted on as they proceeded into the house followed by Sonic and Chris' cries of " oww, oww, oww."
The others watched slightly amused as their friends were being dragged into the kitchen by the angry pink hedgehog. Poor Amy was hanging diagonally after Chris turned human and she still didn't let go.
"She's worse then a Chinese finger trap ow," Chris said trying desperately to literally escape her clutches as was Sonic turning their situation into a twisted version of tug of war.
Knuckles, Tails, and even baby Spike followed the game with their eyes before they started making bets on who would get away first.
Shadow walked into the room and immediately turned to the pair sitting at the kitchen table for an explanation.
"How do we get it off?" Chris asked desperately to his father earning him an extra tug from Amy and Sonic got himself an extra tug for laughing.
"Boy have I taught you nothing, when fighting an opponent go after their deepest pet peeve," the black hedgehog said before turning to Spike and calmly walking up to the infant and picking up his bowl of food.
"You wouldn't dare," he heard Amy say and he just looked up at her and smirked evilly before holding the bowl over the child and dumping the contents including the bowl on his head.
"Hey kid you've got a little something on your face," he said casually.
The whole room just stared at him with their jaws to the floor as he walked out of the room. The green infant just laughed away as the baby food ran down his face and into his mouth.
Chris and Sonic turned to Amy reluctantly to see what she would do and how much pain it would cost them.
'Dirty baby…. can't resist…must clean baby' Amy thought before reluctantly letting go of the boys and went to clean off her son who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
The pair took this opportunity to run to the leftovers on the table and out of the room like a couple of bats out of hell.
A snickering could be heard from the table and the pink hedgehog tuned around with an evil glint in her eye towards Tails and Knuckles.
"What the hell are you two laughing at," she hissed at them before they disappeared shortly after.
"Hey Amy," Sonic said cautiously walking into their son's room where she was getting him ready for bed.
"I'm not mad anymore Sonic you don't have to keep your guard up," she said looking up at her husband with an amused smile as the blue hedgehog sighed in relief.
She shook her head as she handed their son over to him and kissed him on the cheek making Sonic smile like a little kid getting a gold star. Amy was about to walk out and leave her husband to tuck in their son when Sonic grabbed her hand.
"I'm sorry I know it scares every time I'm gone for a really long time," he said pulling her back.
"I should be taking care of my family better and I know that but I dunno how to take care of everyone at the same time," he admitted overwhelmed by the guilt of what had been happening and how it was affecting his young family.
"Sonic the hedgehog you know you don't have to apologize to me ever as long as you come home to us at the end of the day," she pulling her boys into her arms.
"For now do what you have to do to support Chris as his friend. You're taking care of us just fine ok, if you weren't the back of your head would know it," she said into his ear as she hugged them.
They stayed like that for sometime before they heard footsteps walk into the room just as cautiously as Sonic did when he entered.
"Psst, is it safe," the silver hedgehog whispered from behind the wall not seeing Amy behind Sonic's back.
"Hurricane Amy has left the building for now," the pink hedgehog said walking around her husband with her son much to the joy of both boys.
"Sweet I was afraid I wouldn't be able to say goodnight," Chris said happily as he picked up baby Spike carelessly making goofy faces at the child to get him to giggle before kissing him on the head and handing him back.
"I got to say your a lot more comfortable holding him now then the first time," Amy commented trying not to laugh.
"That wasn't funny," he said irritated.
FLASHBACK
"C'mon Chris it's fine you can hold him," Sonic said offering the green baby for the teen to hold. He had been trying to convince his friend to hold the kid for twenty minutes.
"Fine," he finally said before offering his arms out.
"Bout time," Sonic joked as he placed the baby in his arms shaping them to support Spike's little body.
"Make sure you support his head alright," the blue hedgehog instructed.
"Why does it fall off?" Chris asked half kidding but when Sonic didn't say anything the teen gasped in horror.
Later…
Amy walked in to see Chris holding her son but he looked so tense and awkward doing it. She walked over to see him holding the baby's body with one arm and the other firmly holding the child's head to his shoulder.
"Chris hunny why are you smothering my baby?" she asked.
"Cause I might have told him Spike's head would fall off if he didn't hold him right," Sonic answered for him returning from the bathroom and laughing at the teen.
After promptly smacking her husband into a wall leaving a nice dent in both the wall and Sonic she walked over to Chris and showed him how to actually hold the baby.
FLASHBACK END
"Hee hee I can't believe how long it took me to finally get you to believe baby's heads don't fall off," Sonic said at the memory earning him yet another trip into the wall.
From the hall Shadow watched his son hold the infant and sighed in a kind of envy that he would never hold his child the way Sonic was able to hold his and watch him grow. That however didn't change the fact that he couldn't possibly be prouder of the man he was growing into.
"He's a natural," he heard a voice say and turned to see none other then the blue hedgehog himself in a heap on the floor across from the hole he flew through thanks to his wife.
"What are you babbling about?" Shadow asked irritated.
"With babies and kids I mean, he's never been afraid of himself around them whether it be Cream or Spike," Sonic explained as he brushed the debris of himself.
"He will be a great father," Shadow said more to himself then Sonic.
"You sound confident, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were certain he wasn't going dark side," Sonic said still in his 'I-think-I'll-cause-shit-today' mood.
"Of course he won't," Shadow growled as he stared darkly back at him and added nodding his head in Chris' direction, " he's going make damn sure of it."
Sonic smiled at the comment seeing the confidence that had been realized since that afternoon's events. He was finally letting stand on his own two feet and decide this for himself and he couldn't help but be proud of his former nemesis.
Of course that quickly turned into irritation when Shadow opened his mouth and killed the moment.
"Geez Sonic have more confidence in your friends."
I know its a short chapter but I thought it worked better as a bit of comic relief I really will update more now
