Chapter 29: Goin' Walkabout

Well... you know how much I love updating. So, I may as well do so. I may be slow on later chapters, as I do not plan out my story (and, I don't want to). So, that's it I guess. Please review this chapter... I am now accepting 'Anonymous' reviews, but be nice.

Marine

Nothing happened.

Much.

I mean, the Jet geezer was still hanging around. Blaze, Sonic and Silver were now with me and Tails (because of the house being burnt down by you-know-who), and that was it really. A red vehicle, for all I know, had made its way towards Sonic's home... but, when they the guys that came out of the vehicle, it was too late.

So.

It was four o' clock in the afternoon, like I gave a damn, and Sonic was moaning at the table.

"Where will I live now? What shall happen to me? I'll turn into a homeless person... No..." he put his head in his hands, "damn you, Blaze."

"Well, I said I was sorry," Blaze replied, who was, too, at the table. Her feet were on the table, too, and she had folded her arms in annoyance.

Sonic looked at her between his fingers, and smirked.

I sighed, and watched Tails come into the room. He was wearing his really old apron, with a few splotches of oil on. He saw Sonic, then saw Blaze with her feet on the table. He raised an eyebrow at her, and she quickly put them down and straightened up.

"That's better," he said, smoothly.

Jet came into the room, too. He saw me, and quickly looked away. I gritted my teeth.

"Hello, chums!" Silver exclaimed, he too came into the room.

I scrunched up my nose. This room was packed.

"Well," Tails said, happily, "the machine is almost done-"

Blaze was on her feet.

"It better be, boy! If it is not done in a month's time, you'll be on your back!" she warned.

I waved my finger at her.

"Na, Blaze. You gotta be poloite," I said.

She made a face and walked away from the table. Sonic watched her closely, with his eyes.

Silver sat down in her place.

"I love this dimension. It's great," he looked at me, "how's it going?"

I raised an eyebrow in confusion. Although, I knew what he was on about.

"The child. I hope I won't be counted as a pervert or nothing, but I've seen your stomach and... wow. It's on its way... You looking forward to it?" he asked.

It?

"It?" I repeated my thoughts, "my child is not an it!"

I was then remembered about me and Tails. Our conversation before Jet popped up. I looked at the fox, but he wasn't looking at me.

He wasn't looking at anyone.

Blaze soon came forward, after recovering. She saw Silver in her place and folded her arms.

"May I have my seat back?" she asked, politely.

Silver looked at her and smiled.

"You can sit on my lap," Sonic offered, patting his lap, Blaze gave him a glare which could go through steel, "like the puddy cat you are."

Blaze shook with anger.

Tails caught wind of this, and quickly said, "Now, then, Blaze... we've all ready had one house go up in smoke. I don't want this one to be the next."

Blaze calmed down, and gave Tails a sweet smile.

"Sorry," she apologised, her face turned grumpy again, and she looked at Silver, "My chair... if you please."

Silver sighed and stood up, he saluted.

"Yes, ma'am. I'll be waiting at the lodge near the horse and carriage should you want to return," he said, mimicking a butler and bowing.

Blaze watched him for a few seconds.

"Yeah, great," she replied, quickly, and sat in her original place.

Silver looked at Sonic.

"I'll take that seat," he said.

"I'm sure you would," Sonic replied, and looked away.

Blaze

The seat was warm.

"So!"

Jet's annoying voice made my ears perk up.

"What's it like to have a long tail, Blaze?" he enquired.

I looked at him in a weird way.

"What's it like to be a bird?" I mocked.

He looked away.

"Just asking a question," he muttered.

"As was I," I replied, smoothly.

"OKAY! Ur, it's a beautiful day today. How about a walk?" Tails said, looking at his wrist... only to realise he hadn't got his watch on.

He smiled sheepishly.

The first to get up was Sonic, I gave him a glare.

"Okay! Come on, Blaze! We're gonna have a fun time!" Sonic exclaimed.

"Oh, dear..." I mumbled.

Jet and Tails left the house. Marine gave me a menacing smirk, and left herself.

That left me with the boys.

"You guys coming or what?" Tails said, from behind the door.

Nobody moved.

"Okay, well... lock yourself out," Tails threw me the keys.

Yeah. Why me?

They hit me on the cheek. I blinked and looked at him... Tails closed the door.

"No! Let me come with you!" I exclaimed, I jumped up and tripped over my own foot.

"Aww, poor puddy cat... let me kiss you better," Sonic said, making a kissing noise.

"Ahhhhh! Leave me alone!" I cried, I swear tears were almost coming out of my eyes.

Silver and Sonic knelt down to me.

I stood up a little too quickly - this hurt my knee.

"Ow..." I whispered.

Silver and Sonic put their arms around my shoulders.

"Come on," they said in unison.

"No! Wherever you're going... I'm not going," I said, dumbly.

They looked at each other, then nodded.

Okay, if I had a choice between this or death... I would choose death. You know why? Know why?

Because, Mr. I'm-A-Hero-And-All-The-Girls-Love-Me had picked me up. I screamed and slapped his back with both of my hands.

"SONIC! PUT ME DOWN OTHERWISE YOU'LL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!" I screamed, "URGH!"

Marine

We were all about to walk forward, until we heard someone yelling... or screaming.

We all turned around to find Silver walking towards us, he beamed and waved at us all. It was not him.

Sonic came zooming towards us with a happy smile, in his arms was a boiling hot feline... She had folded her arms, and Sonic was carrying her like a baby.

Blaze shut her mouth, and kept her lips sealed. But, her glaring eyes never left Sonic's.

"Let's go!" Tails said, cheerfully.

As if everyone was normal.

We did.

Half an hour later

"... And, that was how it ended," Jet finished.

I blinked and nodded. The hawk had been explaining his life after the incident at the pub. Tails wasn't listening, though. He was at the front of us... sort of like a guide on telling us where we were headed next. To be honest, I had no clue where we were. Blaze was still in Sonic's arms and he seemed as happy as ever. He was running around a lot, just to get on Blaze's nerves. I could tell how much she wanted to get back on her own two feet. Silver was with Tails, and they were chatting about something.

I watched Sonic run over to us with a fuming Blaze. She had her arms folded, and I could tell she was fighting the urge to hold back flames. I smirked.

"Aw. My liddle kiddy cat can't walk," Sonic patronised Blaze as if she was a small child.

Blaze glared at him.

"Sonic. If we ever did go out. It would have been over two minutes and seven seconds ago. Put me down. I am asking you whilst I am still calm. So be careful," she explained.

Sonic was walking backwards, whilst me and Jet walked forward. He was still grinning at Blaze in his arms.

"I made you purr," he whispered.

Me and Jet stopped. Silver and Tails did the same. It seemed the whole world had stopped as Sonic had said those four words.

Sonic dropped Blaze to the floor, as she'd burnt his hands. He looked at his black hands with wide eyes, and screamed. Blaze jumped up and burst into ferocious flames, but I stopped her.

Using my powerful energy blasts of course, Duh!

Na. I actually just used my mouth. More powerful.

"Roight, Blaze! You stop this dilly and dallying roight na! Behave loike a princess! Alroight?" I exclaimed, pointing a finger at her.

Wow. I'm getting used this.

Blaze's fire disappeared and she looked at me... blinked, then stepped back.

"I'll do whatever you say," she whispered, slightly croakily.

"Good," I replied, folding my arms.

I looked at Jet who was staring at me wide eyed. I looked over at Tails and Silver. Silver seemed rather beamy, and Tails... well, he was used to it. I saw Sonic... he was somewhat shocked, and was looking at his beloved... (Hint of sarcasm).

I looked back at Tails, who was still watching me.

"Okay. On with the tour," I announced.

"Tour?" Tails repeated.

"Just get to it, Miles," I said.

"Miles? Huh. You used to call me that once upon a time," he murmured, smiling.

Silver beamed.

"Yeah. Snap to it, foxy!" I ordered.

"Foxy? Oh, okay I'll settle for that. Right, well... on with the tour."

And, then everyone started moving again.

Three Months Later

Well. It was a happy life. Silver was living with us like a long lost friend. Jet was visiting us regularly... for some reason. Me and Tails were... me and Tails. And, Blaze and Sonic were still living with us at Tails' workshop and were happy with a million children... minus the children part and the happiness.

The thing was: the machine was not done.

So.

That caused Blaze to burn down another house. Fortunately, this one was not used, and was going to be knocked down anyway.

And, I'd been eating so much because of the damn thing inside me, I wouldn't be surprised if my jaw fell off. Na, really. It was getting bigger. My stomach.

Oh, yes. Not to forget my handsome crew and delightful Benny. They were still staying with the croc and some geezer named Espio and another named Charmy. Apparently, they were all having a great time. (Cough)

Right now, I was sitting at the table and I was not on my own. Tails was sitting beside me, his arm over the table. I was really in a lot of stress right now. The two of us were talking about the child.

You know? About me not wanting it, but Tails did.

The fox looked troubled too. He was leaning his head against his hand, and his arm was stretched out towards me. He was deeply thinking. I sighed and leaned back in the chair. My hands refused from moving from my swollen stomach. Seven months now.

Oh, dear.

TWO more months and the devil is born. I gritted my teeth. I wasn't looking forward to it. I really wasn't. I almost felt like bursting into tears right now. The pressure, guilt... and even...

Whoa.

What the hell...?

I jumped, my eyes wide. Tails immediately saw this and jumped too, almost in a flash he was by my side.

"Marine? What? What?" he asked, panicked.

The baby... was kicking me. It was rather soft... and kinda gentle.

My heart seemed to have burst just there. My mind seemed to have switched itself over. Some part inside me was happy. Joyful.

PFFT! Ha, ha. Oh, god, I'm a... I dunno.

I forgot that Tails was still staring at me with wide eyes. I felt like laughing and hitting him in the face.

This felt so...

Okay, I'm going mad.

"MARINE?" Tails exclaimed, now standing.

I looked at him slowly, rather worried. His face was... panicked.

I then heard three pairs of footsteps coming towards this room. Silver and Sonic barged open the door - almost knocking it down in the process - and then Blaze came in very calmly.

The three looked at us.

"What was all the noise about?" Sonic asked.

"Na, nothing, mate. Just Miles, 'ere, being kinda worried," I replied.

All three were silent for a while.

"Oh, okay," they sighed in relief and turned around.

When they'd gone, Tails looked at me again and said, worried, "what was that?"

I laughed.

"Our little geezer just kicked me," I explained.

"Aww..." he then stopped and looked at me confused, "our little geezer?"

"The baby, dear," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh," Tails said. "Oh, right, yeah... what? It kicked you? Really?"

I stared at him.

"Yes," I replied, simply.

"That must mean it has feet now."

"Yes."

"That means it's too late if you want to finish it! The kid almost-"

"Shat up!"

He was silenced. I shook my head and smirked. Ever since those gentle kicks, something made me change my mind. I suddenly wanted this child. Yes... I probably sound really odd, but to be perfectly honest I did. I felt like I was responsible, I felt weird. Different.

Then, I realised what it was. The feeling.

I was happy. Ecstatic.

I'm a mum.

I twitched a small smile.

Hey.

I'm a mum.

Ain't that just ripper?

Ur... PLEASE review! I had to do it three months later because the story was getting nowhere. I hope the chapter was good. Sorry if Marinee was a bit OOC. I mean, this chapter was... huh... it was hard, mate. Lol. I'm listening to 'Patience' by 'Take That' right now. It rocks!
