Chapter 25: A Magnificent Miracle:
I'm Amy Rose! I'm cute and I'm full of energy!
GAAAAHHHH! SHIT! I feel like I'm dying right now!
I know I'm supposed to be excited more than anything else,
but quite frankly, this is probably the most pain I've ever been
in, no ifs, ands, or buts! The unfortunate reality is that you
sometimes need to take the bad with the good, and if I need
to endure this much pain just so I can become a mother, then so
be it!
The two cars pulled to a stop in the parking lot. Nobody hesitated for a moment as everyone got out. Sonic proceeded to hurriedly guide Amy into the hospital corridors, everyone else following them.
"Hey Doc! This woman's having a baby!" He shouted.
A couple of nurses carried Amy into the hallway and entered an unoccupied room. Sonic followed.
"...Er, I mean, 'this hedgehog's having a baby'." He uttered.
Everybody else sat down on the benches outside the room, waiting anxiously. Even Rouge, who was jealous of Amy at the moment, couldn't help but feel somewhat excited for her.
In the delivery room, Amy was dressed in hospital-robes and was lying in the hospital bed practically crying in pain. Her hand was tightly gripping the hand of Sonic (who was sitting in an armchair next to the bed), and countless beads of perspiration were streaking down her face and making tiny splats on her hospital robe. A young doctor who could not be any older than 30 was also helping them.
"C'mon Amy push! Push! It's partially out! I can see it!" Sonic said.
"MMPHH! WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO DO!?" Amy shouted in reply.
"Almost there!" The doctor comforted.
"NNGGHH!" Amy groaned as she pushed with all her might.
Following this, an audible popping noise could be heard, similar to what one would hear when they remove a suction cup from a hard surface. Suddenly, a small hedgehog shot out from under the hospital robe at a high velocity and slammed face-first into the opposite wall, before flopping onto the floor. Rather than crying like most babies, this one instead proceeded to laugh off any pain he had endured, and appeared to be completely uninjured. The doctor picked him up.
"Well lookie here! It's a girl!" He said, before briefly examining its physical appearance, "...with a penis and no vagina. Either way, congratulations, miss!"
He handed it off to its parents. Sonic carefully took him and began cradling him in his hairless arms. The baby looked just like his father when he was younger; his fur was a lighter shade of blue, and his torso was round. However, he also had the green eyes that both of his parents had currently. The only hint of resemblance to his mother alone was that he had a stripe on each of his quills, which matched her fur.
"O-Oh my god, I can't believe it! I-I'm a father!" Sonic said, examining his new baby son, "It-it's a miracle!"
Excited, he passed him to Amy. Still slightly in pain, she cradled him, gently rocking him back and forth in her arms.
"Alright, whenever you're ready, I'll let your guests in." The doctor said.
Sonic nodded, and continued to watch Amy rock their new son on the hospital bed, all the while licking his fur clean of uterine fluids.
Ugh! Sometimes, I hate being an animal! Sonic thought, looking away.
"You know, Sonic? I think I want to name him 'Sonic Jr.'" Amy said, having finally finished the rather short bathing session.
Sonic hesitated for a moment. Even though many things throughout Mobius had been named after him, he thought it would be much more of an honor to have an actual living thing named after him, especially considering that the living thing was his own son.
"That would be a great name for him!" Sonic replied.
After a bit, Amy turned to the doctor, who was waiting patiently in the corner.
"We're ready now." She said.
With a nod, the doctor opened the door into the hallway.
"You can come in now." He said. Excited, everyone got up and filed into the delivery-room.
Silver was behind the others, but quickly realized Blaze wasn't there. He proceeded to go back down the hall and look for her. He could not find her anywhere as he checked hall after hall. He entered the food court, and to his luck, found Blaze. She was sitting at a table eating a plate piled high with sushi from the sushi bar.
"Blaze, c'mon! They're ready for us!" He said.
Blaze stuffed the rest of the sushi into her purse, pockets and mouth, and followed. The two entered the room where Sonic and Amy were. Blaze swallowed the sushi that was in her mouth, and carefully took Sonic Jr. into her arms.
"Sonic, you're lucky! He looks exactly like you...well except for the pink stripes." She said.
Rouge didn't want to blow a fuse over how jealous she was, so she silently stood behind everyone else. The doctor was also standing near the door.
"Nice ass." He commented, only to get pimp-slapped in the face.
"Oh c'mon, it was a compliment!" He countered.
"What are you going to name him?" Tails asked.
"We already did: His name is Sonic Jr." Sonic replied.
"Oh my god! That's so cute!" Blaze replied.
After a while, the doctor walked up in front of everyone.
"Alright, I think it's time for you all to leave. We still need to conduct some more tests, and Amy here is probably very tired. She'll be able to come home in a few days." He said.
"Hey Doc, I'd like to sleep here too. Is there anywhere for me to do so?" Sonic asked.
"Certainly. Follow me." The doctor replied, opening the door and letting everyone out, "Oh, and nice knockers, woman."
The doctor elbowed Rouge in the chest as she walked by, only to get yet another slap to the face.
"She must not be single." He thought aloud, rubbing his cheek as everyone but Sonic and Amy left, "Uh, right! Now let me show you where you'll be sleeping. I'm Doctor Wellsworth, by the way."
He led Sonic into the hallway.
About an hour after everyone else arrived home, Shadow was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. He stepped out of the bathroom and let out a yawn.
"Oh, Shadow. Come here, you." Rouge cooed.
She was lying in a fetal position on the bed wearing a black spaghetti-strap nightgown with pink hearts all over it, which went half-way down her thighs and showed a lot of her chest.
"What's the occasion?" Shadow asked lying on his side of the bed.
Almost immediately, Rouge got on top of him.
"Nothing special, but are we going to do it or what?" She replied while forcing each of her fiancé's hands onto one of her hips.
Shadow had a slight skeptical look on his face.
"Rouge, you can't be serious. We're not even married yet." He said.
"Oh c'mon, don't you want a kid? With my charms and lower-body strength and your last…wait a second, we don't have last names." Rouge replied getting off of him.
"It doesn't matter. Having a kid would not be a bad idea, but I want to wait until we're financially secure." Shadow replied.
Rouge was growing annoyed.
"Really, Shadow? Now you're just making excuses. We have a hero and two GUN agents living in this house. Plus, Knuckles opened up that sandwich shop. Those are all paying jobs!" She countered.
"Well regardless, I'd still like to wait a while before we stop with the protection." Shadow countered.
"You know, I'm starting to think you're just nervous because you've never done this sort of thing before." Rouge replied.
"Well, I'm starting to think that you're just jealous of Amy because she's a mother." Shadow countered.
Rouge now knew he was onto her. She let out a big fake yawn.
"Well, we'll discuss this further another time. I'm getting sleepy." She said, getting under the covers and rolling over so her back was to him.
Shadow sighed. He put his arms around his fiancé.
"No cuddling tonight." Rouge sternly said.
Shadow did as he was told.
Silver was asleep in bed with his arms wrapped around Blaze's body. Blaze was still awake, waiting for him to let go of her so she could finish the sushi she had bought home. After waiting for about thirty minutes, Silver rolled over onto his other side, letting go of her in the process. Finally free, Blaze proceeded to silently get out of bed and empty the sushi from her purse and jacket-pockets. She proceeded to eat without care, as Silver was an incredibly deep sleeper. Due to the very large amount of sushi she had bought home, it took Blaze four nights to finish it.
