Chapter Eleven - Waiting
(…)
Sonic stood with a triumphant grin.
Amy was next to him with her own smile of joy.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
"Finally" Rouge said jokingly from above.
The entire room then burst into cheers of "Congratulations!"
Sonic then felt his arm begin to burn.
"You're going to be a father" Tails said as his hand uncurled from a fist.
Not a moment later Sonic punched Tails back with his smile growing wider.
"You're going to be an uncle" Sonic said laughing.
Cream and Amy where in each other's arms, jumping up and down in joy.
Cheese was struggling to fly so he was mainly just holding on to Cream's shoulder as his entire world shook.
The party went on for the rest of the night.
Couples held fast and soft tones filled the air.
Cream turned to Tails as the songs became slower.
"When was the last time you danced?" Cream asked him softly.
"Uhmm, our date... about two years ago..." Tails said remembering his clumsy footwork.
Cream waited just a moment before standing up, "Well then, you owe me a dance."
Tails stood without complaint although Cream could tell he was thinking, "I knew this would happen."
"Just remember to step lightly" Cream said as they took the floor.
Tails let his hand wipe the nervous sweat from his brow.
"If you trip her... I'm leaving" his head said as the next song started.
"Left, right, turn, plant" Tails muttered to himself as he did it.
"Extend" he thought as he raised his arm and Cream did a spin.
"Pull" was the next move as she turned back into his arms.
"WAIT, what is next!" he hesitated for a moment before Cream turned her back to him.
"The lift!" He sighed in relief as he remembered.
Tails lifted her by the waist and Cream spread out her arms.
"Just a bit higher" she whispered back and Tails gained a sly smile.
Cream felt as she was lifted up slightly more then as she gained even more height.
"Tails" She said back and saw his famous namesakes twirling as they rose.
"Care to dance" Tails said with a laugh as the two hovered above the dance floor.
Cream used her ears and Tails maintained his altitude.
"Left, right, turn, plant" Tails muttered again as they moved across the air.
"Extend" Tails repeated his moves while Cream spun several times now that the ground wasn't necessary.
"Pull" Tails said and Cream returned to his arms.
The momentum from her spins though, now without the ground to slow them, sent both Tails and Cream into a combined spin.
The two shared a quick laugh as the twirl sent them round and round.
Cream put her hand against his chest while casting him a smile.
"Dip" Tails thought with a smile as Cream leaned back with her leg rising behind him.
The spinning didn't cease but it did slow providing a very dramatic dip from the slow rotation.
"One hand" Tails remembered and balanced Cream on his hand while raising the other above his head.
Cream came up from the dip and threw herself into a soft kiss.
Tails let her go and Cream went into the next step before Tails pulled her back with another spin.
"Tails, thats not the right move" Cream whispered with a smile.
Tails just gave her another kiss before twirling Cream again.
"I know, I just wanted to kiss you" Tails said as she returned to his arms.
"The song isn't over yet" Cream said as they continued their skyward dance.
"I know, but can't we cut out?" Tails asked looking around.
Cream bit her lip but saw the other couples beginning to take tot he floor.
"Fine" Cream said pulling him into another kiss.
"Good, because I'm done waiting"
(…)
Tails and Cream ran from the cheering crowd of friends.
"Time to go" Tails said as he lifted them into the Tornado.
The engine roared loudly and the newlyweds started to move forward in their plane.
Vanilla waved as Vector and the Chaotix ran next to the plane to say farewell.
Silver, Blaze, and Flare were all covered in a green aura as they floated along side the plane for a moment.
Marine clutched to a slightly damaged Johnny as they too chased after the plane for goodbyes.
A blue flash of light appeared near the end of the runway and Shadow stood their with his normal cross armed look.
Rouge followed closest to the plane and blew a kiss at the couple before breaking off.
The Tornado rose from the hangar and flew out into the sky.
Two echidnas were overhead and they both gave a wave before gliding back towards land.
Tails pulled the plane up as several objects raced past and exploded in a multitude of colors.
Omega reloaded and launched several more "Flares" labeled fireworks.
Tails pushed down and brought the Tornado to skim just a short distance above the ground.
"Tails!" he heard a familiar yell.
"Cream!" Followed soon after.
Both turned back and saw two hedgehogs speeding their way.
Sonic cradled Amy as he raced up to the plane.
"You two take care of yourselves" Sonic said with a laugh.
"I expect to see you all at the baby shower" Amy said as she held tight to Sonic.
Sonic looked up for a moment before casting a grin at Tails.
"Seeya later little bro, and little sis" Sonic said before speeding off as he broke the sound barrier.
Tails smiled at the fast fading dust cloud before pulling up sharply.
"Hang on Cream" Tails said as they rocketed straight up.
"But we'll stall" Cream said remembering what Tails had taught her about flight.
Tails didn't respond as the plane kept climbing but the engine soon slowed.
"That was the point" Tails said looking back as Cream heard the prop stop moving.
The Tornado began to fall freely and Cream felt the wind rush by at breakneck speeds.
Tails pulled back and the Tornado was now belly up, rushing to the ground.
Now he sent it to the left and made the plane roll over.
Cream saw the ground below getting dangerously close.
Tails threw open the throttle and pulled out of the stall with a smile.
"Ever do that when there are kids in this plane and I will slap you" Cream said as she felt her adrenaline running.
Tail felt a blush come to his muzzle before he pulled the Tornado skyward again.
"What are you doing now?" Cream asked as they came close to a layer of clouds.
"Just wait" Tails said as they broke into a cloud.
Cream looked around and saw nothing but pure white.
Then she felt the plane roll and start to drift up... or was it down...
The world was revealed to Cream as her head broke from the cloud as the Tornado flew upside down.
As they looked out from the bottom of the cloud the world looked just as amazing as ever.
Cream leaned forward and pushed the yolk in Tails hand till they went straight up.
"Cream?" Tails said as she leaned over him.
The engine spluttered and the Tornado dropped from the sky.
"I'm done waiting" Cream said as she pulled him into a kiss.
(…)
The last tendrils of light trailed off the sun and lay slumped over the surrounding hills.
Another few hours and only a pale reflection of light hung in the night sky.
Cream and Tails both yawned almost simultaneously.
"I'll be heading for bed, don't stay up late" Cream said hiding a smile as she headed for the bedroom.
Tails went and typed in a small code setting up the security system.
He too headed up to the bedroom and looked around confused when he got there.
"Cream?" he called but didn't get an answer, the room was deserted.
Tails popped back out into the hall and saw the bathroom door closed with light shinning underneath.
He let a smile come now that he knew Cream hadn't disappeared.
Tails went back to the bedroom and began to don his night time apparel.
Slipping under his sheets, Tails fluffed up his pillow before stopping to fluff Cream's.
Tails laid back and turned off the light.
A few moments passed and Tails felt himself drifting to sleep.
Before his brain could shut down, a soft creaking noise came and light footsteps filled the room.
"Tails..." a soft voice brought Tails back to full alert.
"Hope you are ready for the ceremony" Cream said as she slipped into bed next to him.
"Ceremony, but... that was earlier" Tails felt a deep urge in him that he should be afraid.
"Your ceremony, that was the fox part of the wedding, now it's time for the rabbit wedding" Cream was moving closer and closer.
"Uh, but, then why did I have to do the song?" Tails felt a cold sweat coming over him.
"I tried to tell you, but you went ahead anyway, so i'll let it count..." Cream was so near to him.
"For the past week she was in you bed she never came close, now... what do I do!" Tails was borderline panicking.
"The wedding ceremony was a lot of fun and I loved picking out the decorations..." Cream was just a hairs breath away.
"But they were all blue..." Tails couldn't think too straight.
"I chose the color of your eyes" Cream said with her hand on his chest.
"Now I have to complete the ceremony" Cream said as she laid atop of Tails.
"But" Tails was stopped with a hand to his lips.
"Shhh... just listen" Cream said with a soft kiss.

The sun was bright, your eyes were blue, and I lost my heart to you.
The days grew long, but were still grand, while I lost the will to stand.
Your face was soft, and heart was pure, now I know that I am sure.
I'll stay with you, and be your love, as we dance in the sky above.
(…)
The air is waiting for us soar high, the world below pales to the sky.
I've been waiting for so long, afraid that something would go wrong.
Another day of love shared with you, till the time is right and we do,
Move forward to the greatest goal, a child from our body and soul.
(...)
We have the sky, we've seen the moon, so large and bright from the blue typhoon.
The world's been black, yet he shines bright, it's always such a beautiful sight.
I always stood, among the fools, as you tinkered with your tools.
But now I'm here, so please try and see, the one who loves you is me.
(...)
The air is waiting for us soar high, the world below pales to the sky.
I've been waiting for so long, afraid that something would go wrong.
Another day of love shared with you, till the time is right and we do,
Move forward to the greatest goal, a child from our body and soul.
(...)
Hold my body tight, with strong set arms, and ignore the clocks' alarms.
Let the starlight, show us our souls, freeing us from our worldly tolls.
Just hold on, i'll still be here, because there's no other I hold so dear.
Let out a laugh, and make me smile, and know I'll hold it for a while.
(...)
The air is waiting for us soar high, the world below pales to the sky.
I've been waiting for so long, afraid that something would go wrong.
Another day of love shared with you, till the time is right and we do,
Move forward to the greatest goal, a child from our body and soul.
(...)
I've been waiting for so long, afraid that something would go wrong.
But now I can finally see, there is no more waiting for you and me.

Cream moved close and gave Tails another kiss.
"Now for the end of the ceremony." Cream said in a whisper.
Tails felt his blood rush but he didn't know why.
"Cream..." Tails felt his hand brush against Cream.
"Yes" Cream said nuzzling against him.
"You're... naked..." Tails said extremely confused.
"That is the point" Cream said and Tails knew why his blood was rushing.
"But..." Tails couldn't think of anything to say.
"Now let's get to work, I don't plan to wait as long as Amy"
"But"
"Just think Tails, five or six kids will be fine, if we have twins or triplets most the work will already be done"
Tails felt his face go white.
Cream kissed his neck tenderly.
"You married a rabbit" she chimed softly.
"And I'm not waiting" Tails said softly before kissing Cream passionately.

Another chapter, another song, who would have thought you would get two for the price of one.
GOD I LOVE BEING CRAZY!
If anyone is wondering, since I mentioned it in an earlier chapter, I do use music for inspiration and I will tell you, for Tails X Cream, Cascada is freaking amazing.
I mean, Techno Love songs... BRILLANT!
Ok... back on track...
EVERYBODY DANCE... hope you all liked that part, it was one of my favorite things i've ever written...
Oh and man, the scene with Tails and Cream flying off with all their friends bidding them farewell in their own ways.
As for Cream's song... I believe that this is the first time i've had a female singing one of my songs... Seeing as how Burn With Me and Where The Sunshine Blooms were theme songs...
You could count Speed Duet but this is the only one with a female singing alone.
Anyway, I said there would be more than two chapters so know that there is still at least one more update to come.
Although it will be in the form of an epilogue...
And for those that are currently where I think you are... GET OUT OF THE GUTTER... jeez...
I swear you people are always there when it comes to things like this... I mean really, drop it all and watch the skyline or something.
Now, with the Fox traditions and wedding done, the Rabbit traditions come into play.
Still, I had to add in the whole rabbit thing for a laugh at the end... I'll stop with my notes unless I can think of something more to say...
So now, until next time
