"KNUCKLES!" Rouge called from their bedroom.

He sighed while rubbing his temples. "Yes sweetie?" He called out calmly.

"Can you get me a glass of orange juice please?" Knuckles groaned.

"I'll get it Knuckles." Crystal got up and walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of orange juice then went upstairs.

"Still loving the last four months Knuckles?" Sonic chuckled, earning him a glare from the red echidna.

"Don't worry Knuckles. We'll help you with Rouge," Cream piped in. The girls nodded, "and we'll make sure that the guys help as well."

"But that's not fair!" Silver whined.

"No buts! We're helping him." Blaze replied. Silver sat back pouting.

Crystal came back and sat down next to Shadow. "You guys do know that we're going to be ten times worse than Rouge right?"

Sonic's eyes widened. "What? How?!"

"I'll constantly be asking for brownies, the expensive ones. Amy will most likely beat you with her hammer for no reason and Blaze is pyrokinetic. I'm pretty sure that needs no explanation." She explained. Shadow groaned.

Sonic smirked. "Well who's going to cater to your every wim when Shadow and I are at G.U.N?"

"Tails and I will." Cream happily volunteered. "Right Tails?"

"We will?" Tails asked looking at Cream, although regretting it seconds later. "I mean we will! Of course!"

Shadow and Sonic chuckled. "Sucker." The kitsune glared at them.

"KNUCKLES!" Rouge screamed again.

Her husband groaned loudly. "This is going to be a painful four months."

(x-x-x-x)

While the guys were in the living room, the girls were in the dining room coming up with a plan of their own.

"We need to do one more huge thing before we get put to bed rest by our husbands." Amy said with an eye roll.

Crystal took a bite out of her sundae. "Like what? Go to a party or something?"

"Yeah! That's actually a good idea C. We should!" Blaze replied enthusiastically.

"And which party are we going to go to exactly?" Cream asked, raising an eyebrow.

Amy smirked. "Well, word on the street is that Jet is throwing a huge party tonight."

"Who's Jet?" Crystal asked with a mouth full of ice cream.

"Some green hawk that works at G.U.N. I'm sure Rouge knows him." Blaze replied.

"Oh my gosh, you mean that slizz that hit on me when I first went there?! There is no way Shadow will let me go to his party." Crystal slumped down in her seat.

Amy nodded. "Exactly. So my plan is that we get Knuckles to convince Sonic, Shadow and Silver to let us go. Cream will obviously be allowed to go since she isn't pregnant."

"Hold on. How exactly are we going to convince Knuckles to help us?" Blaze asked.

Now it was Crystal's turn to give a devious smirk. "It's times like these where blackmail comes in handy, and lucky for us, I have some juicy blackmail on Knuckles that definitely make him help us." She finished off her sundae and got up, beginning her search for the red echidna.

(x-x-x-x)

"Ugh, finally. I was looking for you everywhere!" Crystal exclaimed, although out of breath from running around the entire house.

Sitting on a lawn chair in his backyard, he chuckled. "Now you found me. So what do you need C?"

She took a seat on the lawn chair across from him. "I'm just going to get straight to the point. I need you to convince Sonic, Shadow and Silver to let Blaze, Amy and I to go to Jet's party tonight."

His eyes widened and he jumped up onto his feet. "ARE YOU MAD WOMAN?! A MAN COULD GET KILLED FOR ASKING SOMETHING AS CRAZY AS THAT! ARE YOU TRYING TO START A RUMBLE?!"

"Oh come on Knux. What's there to be afraid of them anyways?" She asked sweetly.

His eye twitched. "What's there to be afraid of?!" He asked in disbelief. "You know that your husband is sinister demon who finds pleasure from other people's pain, Sonic has uncurable mental issues so who knows what's he'll do to me if I ask and don't even get me started on Silver's telekinesis!"

She paused. "Alright, you make some good points." He grinned smugly. "But you still have to ask them."

He raised his eyebrows. "And if I don't?" He asked, challenging her.

She smirked. "Then I'll send the picture of you caked in make up and wearing womens clothing to everyone on my contact list and since I'm a secretary at G.U.N, I have a lot. So basically everyone on Mobius since I have every single person in the computer files."

His jaw dropped. "What?! What picture?! I don't believe you!"

"Don't you remember that night when you woke up after being drunk with the guys at the karaoke bar and looked into the mirror and screamed?" Horrified, he nodded. Chuckling, she brought out her phone and showed him. "I took this picture before you woke up and I have to admit that you make a very pretty girl."

While staring at the picture, he started breathing heavily. "Okay C, let's reconsider this. What if I try to convince the guys? Then will you not send it?"

She grinned. "Of course Knuckles. I never go back on my word and if you convince our friends, then this picture is safe with me."

He grinned sheepishly. "What will it take to get you to delete it?"

She chuckled. "Now now Knuckles, let's not get too hasty. Look at things realistically."

He exhaled. "Alright, fine. I'll head over to them right now."

"Thank you Knuckles!" She called to him sweetly. He muttered something under his breath and left.

Crystal stared at the picture while chuckling evilly. "And they say that I can't be evil when I want to be." She paused for a moment and let out a deep breath. "I need more ice cream." With that, she went back inside.

(x-x-x-x)

Knuckles walked into the living room to find Shadow watching a basketball game on the television, and Sonic and Silver competing to see who could balance a spoon on their nose longer than the other.

"Idiots." He muttered as he walked over to them. He sat down on the love seat next to the couch.

"Hey guys, you know Jet is having a party tonight right?" Knuckles asked, hoping to spark up a conversation on the topic.

"Really? Wow, we work for the same agency and he couldn't even tell us? Just when you think you know a guy." Sonic said, clearly insulted while still balancing the spoon on his nose. Silver ended up having his spoon fall before Sonic's.

"That doesn't count!" Silver exclaimed.

"Ha! Yes it does, I win again!" Sonic fist pumped in victory.

He scoffed and crossed his arms. "Yeah yeah whatever, it's only because you have a longer nose."

"Umm, well. I was thinking that the girls should go. You know, before they're put to bed rest." Knuckles replied nervously.

Shadow raised an eyebrow. "Really? And what exactly got you thinking that Knuckles?"

Chuckling nervously, he replied, "Well, I just got the idea you know. I realized it after I put Rouge to bed rest that she didn't really do much and I don't want the others feeling like that too."

"He actually does have a point." Silver piped in, "I mean, the girls didn't really do much and I'm pretty they'll be nagging us about that for the four months they're put to bed rest."

"Hmm," Shadow rubbed his chin in thought, "Our paranoid friend makes a very good point. I suppose if we let them leave tonight, they won't bug us as much plus we'll have something to argue about with them if they bring up the topic."

"Right, but you really want to let our wives go to a party, unsupervised and with perverts who will flirt with them constantly?" Sonic asked, his eyebrows raised.

"That's also another good point. I think we need to discuss this for a bit." Shadow replied.

Knuckles sighed. "At least they're actually considering it." He thought.

(x-x-x-x)

"I can't believe we're actually going." Amy squealed happily. The girls were putting on their shoes. It was 8 pm and the party was starting soon.

"I know. I told you that picture would come in handy one day. Crystal smirked.

"Where are the guys? We should at least say goodbye to them." Blaze replied.

"You girls aren't going anywhere," Shadow's jaw dropped, "Especially not looking like that!" He exclaimed at Crystal. She was wearing a strapless gold cocktail dress that was shorter than mid-thigh with matching wedges, Cream was wearing a strapless fitted black dress that reached mid-thigh with black flats, Amy was wearing a red cocktail dress that reached above her knees and 6-inch red heels, and Blaze was wearing a white strapless dress that reached mid-thigh as well and had matching flats.

"What's wrong with my outfit?" Crystal asked.

"It makes you look like you want to be a future rape victim!" She scoffed and crossed her arms.

"Well!" She replied, pointing her nose away from him.

"You look hot, but you're not leaving like that!" Sonic exclaimed at Amy.

She crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow at him. "What exactly made you all change your minds?"

"Knuckles told us that Crystal blackmailed him with a picture of him from the night we all got drunk." Tails replied.

Crystal's jaw dropped. "Knuckles! You weren't supposed to tell them that!"

Knuckles put his hands up in defense. "Hey, my bad C, it slipped out." She pouted.

"So no matter how great you all look, we have decided that we're putting you to bed rest starting now." Silver said.

"What?! You can't do that!" The girls all exclaimed and began to argue.

Shadow shook his head and threw Crystal over his shoulder. "Let's go princess." Since Rouge and Knuckles lived in a large house, they had four guest bedrooms, enough for all of them.

She began pounding on his back. "Shadow the Hedgehog, put me down right now!"

He chuckled and ran to their room. "Oh, you used my full name. I'm so scared." He replied in a mocking voice. "Not a chance gorgeous." She pouted again.

Sonic picked up Amy bridal style, but she seemed to put up more of a fight. "Ames, come on sweetie. Don't be like this."

She sighed. "I have another month to live and not be sleeping."

"True, but if you come with me, I'll buy you those chocolate covered strawberries that you love."

Her eyes lit up, causing him to smirk. "Really Sonikku?" He nodded. "Alright, fine."

Silver had no problem taking Blaze to their room with his telekinesis. "Silver, put me down!" She exclaimed.

He smirked. "I don't think so sweetheart." She crossed her arms and glared at him.

Tails put his arm around Cream's shoulders as they watched their friends. "So.. You still want to go to Jet's party?"

She grinned. "Sure. I didn't get all dolled up for nothing." He chuckled as they left.

(x-x-x-x)

"Ugh this is so not fair." Crystal complained as Shadow tucked her in.

"Shh, princess. This is a good thing for you." He replied.

She blushed. She always seemed to blush whenever he called her "princess" and him knowing this, always said it. "How is this a good thing?"

"You get to relax instead of work and I get to keep an eye on you and not worry constantly." Shadow smiled at her, kissing her forehead. "You should sleep now and get some rest."

She yawned. "Alright." He was about to leave when she called him. "Shaddie?"

He turned around, smirking at his pet name. "Yes C?"

"Could you get me some brownies?" She chuckled, thinking about how fat she sounded at the moment.

He nodded. "Of course princess."

"Oh, and Shaddie?" She called again.

He turned to face her. "Yes?"

"I love you." She smiled warmly at him.

He smiled back. " I love you too." He closed the door and was headed to the kitchen when he bumped into Sonic.

"How's the wife sitting going for you?" The cobalt hedgehog asked him.

"Not too bad. I finally got her to relax. How's Amy so far?"

He shrugged. "You know, not too bad."

"She's about to kill you isn't she?"

"If I don't get her chocolate covered strawberries, you better believe that." Shadow chuckled at his response.

"SONNIKU!" His wife yelled.

Sonic groaned. "I'm coming Ames! Later Shads." He raced off to their room. He opened the door and found Amy on the bed, exactly where she should be.

"Yes Ames?" He asked, walking over to their bed.

She smiled tiredly. "Did you get my strawberries yet?"

He chuckled lightly. "I was just racing off to the store when you called for me."

"Oh alright, go ahead sweetie." She gave him a kiss and he left. "Sonikku?"

He poked his head inside. "Yeah Ames?"

"I love you." She smiled sweetly.

He smiled warmly. "I love you too." He went downstairs to find Silver with a glass of milk headed upstairs.

"Wife problems?" Sonic asked.

He nodded. "Wife problems." They bumped fists and Silver went upstairs to he and Blaze's room. He opened the door to find Blaze on the verge of falling asleep. "Here you go." He spoke softly and handed her the drink.

She smiled sweetly at him. "Thank you sweetie."

"Anything for you." He kissed her forehead and turned to leave.

"Silvie?" She called out.

He chuckled silently at his nickname. "Yes sweetie?"

"Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?" She asked.

He smiled at her. "Of course." He walked over and climbed into the bed with her. She rested her head on his chest fur as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love being in your arms like this." Blaze said and snuggled in closer to him.

He rubbed her back, causing her to purr. "And I love having you in my arms." He kissed her forehead again. "I love you Blaze."

"I love you too Silvie." She gave him a short kiss and in a few minutes, she was sound asleep. He left the room after she fell asleep and went downstairs. He found Knuckles, Shadow and Sonic watching television.

"Your wives fell asleep too?" He asked. They nodded.

"Thank goodness too. My head is killing me." Sonic rubbed his temples.

Shadow nodded. "I think putting them to bed rest early was a bad idea."

"Well, it's all over for today so now we can relax." Knuckles and stretched.

"KNUCKLES!" Rouge called.

Silver smirked. "Yeah, we can relax." He said, referring to the hedgehogs.

Knuckles glared at him. "Shut up." He went upstairs to his room to find Rouge sitting up on the bed. "Yes Rouge?"

"Could you get me a chocolate bar from the drawer?" He nodded and walked over to their drawer and brought one out. He handed it to her. "Thank you sweetie." She paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?" He asked, slightly worried.

Her eyes widened. "My water broke." She said and looked up at him.

"What?!" Knuckles shouted and froze. Instead of coming to her like she was expecting, he ended up fainting.

She sweatdropped. "I can't even keep a joke going enough without him fainting." She sighed.
