Chapter 19
Ken was busy in the bakery with his faithful customers, until he got a call from Vanilla at the school.
"Hey honey, how's your day been going."
"Uh, Ken I had visitor at my office today."
"What was it angry parent about their child's grade or a social worker?"
"No, you don't understand, it was your father."
Ken body froze from shock the news.
"Wh-what?! What does he want?"
"He came into my office, inquiring about Speedy."
"What did you tell him?"
"I said he wasn't here and he just left."
"Well, where are Speedy and Cream?"
"They're with Sonic and the others,I didn't want to risk Speedy being there and then your father coming over and the twins are still at the daycare."
"Good, good, let's not get the kids involved until we figure out what the man wants."
Cream and Speedy were hanging out at Freedom Fighters HQ, in a way confused about why their mother sent them over here. Cream was with Amy while Speedy was training with Sonic, after a quick training session, Speedy and Sonic decided to start talking to each other to pass the time.
"So Speedy, what is going on with your parents?"
"Well, mom told us to come here after school for some reason."
"Anything she told you as to why?"
Speedy then thought for a moment.
"She said, it was a man from my father's past."
Sonic looked at Speedy after coming to the realization of who Vanilla was talking about. At that moment he started to think to himself.
"Does he still not remember what happened?"
Speedy looked at Sonic with curiosity.
"Hey Mr. Sonic are you OK?"
"Huh, oh yeah,I was just thinking about something."
Back at the house Ken got there first after being told by one of his neighbors that there was a strange knocking on his front door. When he got home he saw a black hedgehog with noticeable graying fur and silver eyes now looking at him.
The hedgehog then spoke to Ken.
"Hey son, good to see you."
Ken scoffed at the man's remark.
"So now I'm not dead to you?! All my life you've been absent, worrying more about how much much money was in your bank account than what concerned your children and faithful wife."
The man tried to respond.
"Look I can explain-"
"Not to mention when you finally meet your grandson you leave him with an uncaring nanny who doesn't pay attention to him and he winds up in a coma for two weeks."
"Look I'm sorry if that what you want to hear?! I wasn't there for you or your mother and last I checked lost custody of Satoshi for a while because you couldn't hold your liquor."
Ken was outraged and grabbed the man by his shirt.
"You will never talk to me like that! I've conquered my demons and for my damn life together and I'm a caring father unlike you!"
Ken then heard Vanilla's calming voice.
"Ken, calm down!"
Ken took a couple of seconds to calm down and let go of his father.
"Sorry honey."
The couple sat on the couch in front of the chair that his father sat in.
The man then spoke.
"Look,I didn't come here expecting you to forgive me right away.I came here because I know I screwed up royally but I want second chance with Satoshi and I don't deserve but I ask you can you find it in your heart to grant me that."
After some silence, Ken responded.
"I'll have to think about it but for now I'll have to ask you to leave."
His father obeyed and left the house leaving Ken and Vanilla to ponder what had just happened.
Vanilla looked at her husband.
"What are you going to do?"
Ken sighed.
"Well I'm a man of my word so I will think about it, but for now let's pick up the kids and have some dinner."
The rest of the night was pretty much the same, the family enjoyed a meal together and the kids were in their rooms.
Vanilla sat on the bed with Ken, trying to lull Shady to sleep, Ken looked at Vanilla with worry.
"Are you mad at me?"
Vanilla responded.
"No honey, I'm just worried how Speedy would react if he saw your father again."
"I understand, I mean he was four when it happened and he has no memory of it or him for that matter."
Vanilla at him with a smile on her face.
"I know you'll do what's right."
Ken smiled
"Thanks, I'll check on the Speedster."
Ken, went into Speedy's room and noticed the hedgehog dozed off while listening to his radio, at first sight the radio was oddly shaped but it was actually kind like a trophy to him, it was taken off of one of Eggman's robot on a mission with the freedom fighters and after fixing it with up tails it was now programmed for recreational use, the radios volume was on low and it was a sports station talking about a track event. Ken decided to shut it off and it was Ken shutting it off that had awoken Speedy, he lifted his glasses slightly in order to rub his tired eyes, he spoke to Ken.
"Hey dad."
Ken then spoke.
"Hey son."
Speedy looked up at his father with concern in his eyes.
"Are you and mom OK? You guys looked worried at dinner tonight."
Ken told Speedy in a reassuring way.
"Don't worry son, mommy and I just have a lot on our mind."
"OK"
Ken was silent for a moment and talked to Speedy
"Hey son, I know it took me long to get better and to make it up to you, but I promise I'll be here for you whenever you need me son."
Speedy looked at Ken with a smile on his face.
"I know dad, and I know I'll always count on you."
Ken also had a smile on his face and responded to Speedy.
"Alright son you have a good rest, good night."
"Good night dad."
Ken left Speedy's room without worrying about what happened earlier.
About three weeks had passed since the incident with Ken's dad things were actually quite peaceful, until one day something was noticeably wrong with Speedy. One morning when Speedy was at the breakfast table he told Vanilla that he wasn't hungry. This was a irregular occurrence for Speedy, who had a pretty good appetite in the morning. Vanilla also noticed that Speedy also had his hands over his abdomen and he didn't look too well, Vanilla then approached Speedy and felt his forehead.
"Oh my Speedy, you're burning up!"
Ken looked at Speedy, with worry.
"Are you OK son?"
Speedy shook his head.
"No sir, my stomach hurts and I feel like I'm gonna throw up."
Vanilla looked at Ken.
"Honey, I'm going to take Speedy to the doctor."
Ken nodded
"OK, I'll look after Cream and the twins."
And with that they left for the doctor's office
While Vanilla and Speedy were waiting for the doctor to return, Speedy had his head on Vanilla's lap and she was there stroking his red spines.
The doctor then returned with a file in his hand.
"Well, Mrs. Jackson we found the cause of young Speedy's sickness."
Vanilla looked hesitant.
"What is it?"
The doctor then answered.
"Appendicitis, well have to operate so he doesn't get an infection."
Vanilla looked worried
"OK."
Vanilla then called Ken to give him the news of Speedy's status
"Appendicitis, dang!"
Vanilla responded.
"They're preforming an appendectomy on him."
Ken said to her.
"Don't worry, the kids and I agree on our way."
"OK honey."
About a half hour had passed and Speedy was prepped for surgery, he was lead to a operating table and the doctor administered anesthesia.
"OK, Speedy just count from ten backwards and you'll be out cold."
Speedy followed instructions.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
And he was asleep ready for the doctors to operate on him
