Aww….Shadow is being so hormonal in that last chapter, not acting like his usual self!^^
Shadow and Mephiles went home an hour later, talking about the babies, excitedly. Shadow laughed nervously "That will soon be me in there Mephiles…I'm due in two months…" Mephiles nodded "The triplets will be a handful to say the least…I feel more sorry for them then us in that respect…" Shadow laughed "Three screaming kids…great Mephiles!" Mephiles scratched his head "I wonder how long their sanity will last with five babies? Probably not too long…they are going to be tired for a long time. Lack of sleep will get to them sooner or later…" Shadow sighed heavily "Speaking of sleep…let's get some more before its too late Mephiles…" Mephiles nodded, using chaos control to transport them home.
Metal decided to get some sleep, Sonic already asleep and the babies gone to the maternity care unit for awhile. Metal watched Sonic sleep in the corner He seems so…peaceful. He is well pleased with the results, as am I. I can't wait to show them to my brothers…Mekkion will be happy! I should get some sleep…I cannot keep awake any longer….with that, Metal drifted off to sleep.
Later that afternoon, a strange hedgehog came to see them. He was a white hedgehog with spiked up quills, armor on his body, a sword and a long tail that has a ragged fin on it. He had green eyes, like Sonic did and seemed a proud type, judging by his posture. He had a bouquet of flowers in his arm, which he set on the table next to Metal's bedside. Metal 's ears twitched at him "And who are you? It is nice of you to visit us but…" The hedgehog bowed "I am Caliburn…I am one of Sonic's friends." Metal blinked "You must be the sacred one…Sonic has mentioned you multiple times. He said you made him a knight." Caliburn nodded "Turned a knave into a knight…nary an easy job….Sonic is a lazy squire…" Metal giggled "I know…he's so lazy sometimes…but he's mine…so I am willing to bend the rules for his sake."
Caliburn poked Sonic, who flinched at him, but did not awaken. Caliburn pulled his sword out and gave Sonic a slight shock from the blade, causing Sonic to yelp. Sonic's quills were a mess, and his eyes were half open. He glared at Caliburn, then softened his features upon seeing who had awoken him "Caliburn? What are you doing outside of Camelot?" Caliburn shrugged "I could nary forget to visit you and your mate squire. Nor could I miss seeing your little ones." Sonic nodded "It's great to see you again Caliburn! Anyone else here with you?" Caliburn nodded "Look over there…"
There were three other knights, one being Sir Lancelot, one being Sir Galahad, and the last being one Sonic couldn't identify. The last was a taller hedgehog, one with wings. He reminded Sonic of Mephiles somewhat, being the same colors as him. Sonic stared at him "Who's the other hedgehog?" Caliburn motioned to him, the hedgehog bowing at him "I am Arondight m'lord…I am the knight of the stars." Sonic gave him a surprised look "The…sword Arondight?" He nodded "Sir Lancelot uses a different sword now…" Sonic shrugged "A lot has changed in Camelot it seems…" Caliburn laughed, making Sonic go red from embarrassment of not knowing what was going on in Camelot, considering how long it had been since last he visited there.
Metal grinned at him "Seems someone someone needs to get off their lazy ass…" Sonic sweat dropped "I…guess…I'm busy with you though…" Lancelot shook his head at him "You can find nary a moment? Thoust finds that hard to believe…" Sonic cocked his head "I have to do more then being a knight Lancelot….Eggman being one of them…Metal and the kids being another…" Lancelot sighed "How did Thoust have the time to become a knight then? I nary understand…" Sonic growled at this "Blame Merlina…she put me into your world against my will…I had no other choice!" Galahad giggled "It is nary worth arguing about….you sound like children!" Sonic and Lancelot stared at him, letting the rest of the argument go. Galahad grinned at Metal "Thoust should not have to deal with such immaturity…are babies nary enough for you?" Sonic narrowed his eyes, whacking Galahad "Oh shush….look who's talking…your well known for being immature too!" Galahad went red "So it is nary a problem…I have a son of my own to deal with!" Sonic grinned "Where is he then?" A little hand tapped him "hewwo. I Dimitri." Sonic smiled at him "Nice to meet ya!" Dimitri wagged his tail "I psychic like papa is and I do fire like mommy!" Sonic laughed "Wow…you have a lot of talent little man!"
Hours later, Shadow and Mephiles returned, the knights still there talking to them and observing the five babies. Shadow spotted Lancelot and stared "Who the fuck are you?!" Lancelot turned to stare at him at the sound of his voice "Hm….I am Sir Lancelot…and who are you imposter?" Shadow glared "Imposter? I think not you armored freak! I am Shadow the ultimate life form!" Mephiles cut him off "And the ultimate parent…" Lancelot laughed "You breed like a woman? I nary think you are less a freak then I am…" Metal growled "Hey! I did it too you little son of a bitch!" Sonic stared at him "Still have leftover hormones I see…" Metal gave him a blank look "Not really hedgehog…"
The seven of them didn't get to leave the hospital til the next morning, Metal and Sonic having Caliburn help with the move back home. Metal put the babies down for a nap in their bedroom. Caliburn and Sonic were talking about the babies, Caliburn asking questions about the whole ordeal. "Anyway I could train at least one as a squire when they are older?" Sonic shook his head "I have to talk to Metal about it, but I'm sure he'll be fine about that Caliburn." Caliburn nodded "Indeed…well talk with him and give me your answer when you can then….for now…the two of us shall train! You need it squire!" Sonic sweat dropped "Uh…okay then Caliburn…sounds great!"
Metal grinned at them from the staircase "I need some training too…sometime you can train me Caliburn!" Caliburn nodded "I can do that Metal….sounds like fun!" Metal snickered "Forgive me if I'm slow a bit…but I need to re-do my stamina and such that I haven't used in seven months!" Caliburn nodded "I can do that Metal…don't worry mate!" Metal grinned and sat next to Caliburn on the couch, the three of them talking about the training they would do soon.
