Chapter 12

Okay, I'm going to say and quote this again, in case you weren't paying

attention: "IF ANY OF YOU WANT ME TO SEND YOU A LEMON SCENE OF BONE

AND JULIE, PM ME ASAP!!" Am I now clear on that?

Here's the next chapter of "Years Later…" I hope you like it.

Meanwhile, Espio was meditating in his apartment, until he heard

someone scream, "ESPIO!! ESPIO!!"

The chameleon opened his eyes and recognized the voice. "Bone?"

He saw the brown wolf come up the stairs to the door. "Espio, I need to

ta—" Bone banged his head on the door and fell.

Espio gasped. "Oh my God, Bone!" He helped the wolf up. "Are you

alright?"

Bone rubbed his head. "Ow. I think I hit my head on the door hinge."

Espio saw the bruise. "It's not that bad."

Bone sighed. "I have something to tel—hold on a second." He got up,

closed the door, and locked it.

Espio was confused. "Bone, why did you lock the door?"

Bone rushed over to the windows and shut them tightly.

"Why are you closing the window?"

"Shh! This is extremely private!" Bone rushed back to Espio.

"But, I don't understand why—"

The wolf grabbed the chameleon's arms and shouted, "Julie's pregnant!"

Espio was surprised. "What?!"

"It's true. When I came home yesterday, she said she was having pains in

her abdomen and she was throwing up too. Then, earlier today, we went to the

doctor's and I saw Ike."

"Ike?"

"I met him in jail, long story. So, after Julie told him about her symptoms,

he had her give him her urine sample. When he tested it out, the results said that she

was one week pregnant."

"But I thought Julie couldn't have any kids."

"Neither did we, but it turns out that we're actually going to have a child."

"Oh my God, this is unbelievable!"

"I know, and I'm so freaking nervous, I don't know what to do about it!"

Espio was confused. "Why? Aren't you happy that you're finally having a

kid."

Bone sighed and sat down on the floor. "Well…I am a bit…anxious that

I'll finally be a father, but…it's really hard work. And…I'm afraid of what happens

if…Julie doesn't make it after she gives birth. I really can't take care of the baby

myself. I love her and I wouldn't want her to leave me."

Espio put his hand on the wolf's shoulder. "Bone, Julie will be fine. She's

a strong woman, she'll handle going through labor when the baby's due. And I know

you two will be great parents."

Bone thought about what Espio said and smiled. "You're right." He stood

up. "I shouldn't worry about it. I'm glad that I'm going to have a son or daughter."

Espio grinned. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

Suddenly, they heard a female voice say, "No, Nat! I'm not going out with

you again!"

The two men turned to see Amanda on her cell phone while walking down

the hallway.

"I told you for the billionth time, no!" There was silence. "Because, you're

a frigging moron!" She turned off her cell phone and gasped to see her father and

third cousin standing near her. "Oh, hey, guys!"

"Hi, Amanda," said Bone. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, just…chilling out. So, what's up with you?"

Bone faced Espio. "Should I tell her?"

"That's your choice," replied the male chameleon.

Bone took a deep breath and faced the cat-meleon. "Amanda…you're

going to have…another cousin."

Amanda's eyes widened. "You mean…Julie's pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Oh my God! I can't believe it! Congrats!"

Bone giggled. "Thanks."

Amanda sighed. "Well, I'm off."

Before the girl was about to leave, her father asked, "Where are you going?"

"Remember? I'm going to visit Maria and her parents."

"Oh, right. Make sure you're back by 1:00."

"I will. Bye, Cousin Bone." Amanda rushed out the door.

Bone chuckled. "That Amanda, she's really grown up."

Espio nodded. "That's how Salley and I raised her. She's a really good

girl."

"Let's hope she stays that way." Bone suddenly remembered something.

"Oh crap!"

"What's the matter?"

"I just remembered I left Julie back at the doctor's office. I got to go find

her." Bone rushed out the door and down the stairs to find his wife.

I'm glad I wrote this chapter. But, for the next one, can you guess who Maria's

parents are? Here are your clues:

1. Maria's a hedge-bat.

2. Both of their parents used to work at GUN.

3. Her father teaches her to use Chaos powers.

R&R if you want to guess.
