Sonic's A Daddy?
By Kiyo-chan
Chapter 5: "Don't undermine my confidence!" Memories suck…
A/N: If you remember from our last chapter, Sonic is going through an inner struggle of wheather or not he can be a good father. Well, more of that's gonna be in here and also the story of why Knuckles is crazy…
Sonic walked along the sidewalk on his way home. It was August now and summer was still in full swing as he looked at all the kids playing. He smiled to himself as he thought of seeing his child playing. What would she look like? Well, she'd have green eyes and she'd look a lot like Amy, but she might as fast as him. "Sonic!" yelled a voice. Sonic turned around and saw a ball of black tar hit him right in the face. When he was able to open his eyes, he saw Shadow running off. "Very mature, Shadow! Next time you do that, a certain batgirl's going to know if you're really a tough guy with all the dolls in your closet!" he yelled. He turned back around and smirked as the kids lined up to see the blue hedgehog with the black face. "Why is his face all black?" "Eww, it's falling off!" "Cool! I wanna do that!" Sonic turned around and grinned, making all the kids scream at the top of their lungs and run away. "I didn't know they were afraid of hedgehogs," he said to himself.
Knuckles was on his way to the store. He had decided to walk because his car was in the repair shop and he hated public transportation. As he took the long way, he stared at the hospital. His sapphire blue eyes filled up with tears as he began to remember the reason he wasn't himself anymore…
Eight months ago…
Knuckles was sitting in his tree in his home of Angel Island. It was almost his birthday (A/N: If you remember, Knuckles made his first appearance on January 24th nine years ago, so I'm making January 24th his birthday.) and he would soon have to leave the comfort and safety of his island home. His parents had told him he needed to start making a living for himself, and not sit around and eat Cocoa Puffs all day in his bathrobe because you can't make a living out of that. Any day now, he would leave. "Oh, what the hell." He got up from the tree and went home, packing everything he owned. He finally went to Mobius on the air miles he got from eating pudding snacks and Cocoa Puffs. The young echidna decided to find a place of his own when suddenly…he heard a cat meowing in the street. A little girl was crying because a fire truck was coming and the cat would be dead. Being the nice guy that he was, Knuckles went onto the street and picked up the cat. "MEEEOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!" The feline was screeching as she dug her nails into the echidna's face. She also began scratching him until the fire truck was about to make its way to run them both over. The cat jumped up into the tree branch but Knuckles was too dazed to see the truck and the truck hit him in the head, knocking him over onto the ground and everything went white…
When he woke up, Knuckles looked at his surroundings to see that he was in a hospital room. He got up and immediately fell over. "Help…" he said pathetically. Somebody came over and helped him into the bed. "Mommy? Is that you?" he asked. He looked up at the person who helped him. She was a bat, like Rouge, but unlike the batgirl that fought him, she was pink with purple stripes all over and her wings were more pointed. He stared at her hands that had long, elbow-length gloves covering them and her lower arm. She was very pretty and her eyes looked a lot like Rouge's blue-green eyes. "You will be okay," said the batgirl in a French accent. He was staring at her breasts, which were swelling beneath her shirt. "O-okay…I'm Knuckles the echidna," he murmured. "Chantal the Bat." She shook his hand. He blushed and looked down. "Are you a nurse?" he asked. "Non, I am here to visit my cousin. She is having a child and I am here to support her." He loved her accent. "You're from France, right?" She nodded. "Paris…I am a treasure hunter there." He nodded eagerly and the two of them talked. Hours later, she got up. "I will miss the flight. It was so nice to meet you, Knuckles." "Yeah, it was nice meeting you too." Chantal then leaned forward and kissed the echidna's lips. "Adieu, cheri," she whispered before she left. Knuckles continued to stare after her. "If only I knew what that meant…"
Back to reality…
Knuckles rubbed his eyes and continued to stare at the hospital. He then looked back ahead and he walked to the grocery store.
Sonic sat down next to Amy on the couch. Amy was bigger around the middle than ever and she was up all night when the baby kicked inside her. He put a hand on her stomach and felt the baby kicking, kind of like a butterfly fluttering. "You okay, Sonic?" Amy asked, feeling concerned about her husband. He grinned at her. "I'm fine, Ams. You don't have to worry about me. I'm gonna be all right, you're gonna be all right, and Monica will be all right." Amy sighed and had no choice but to listen to her husband and take his word as the truth. Sonic then looked down at the freshly cleaned carpet and sighed. I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine… The doorbell rang just then. Amy got up and answered it. Rouge then literally ran in. "What's the matter?" Amy and Sonic asked, both of them worried that something happened to her, Shadow, or someone else. "This is a major emergency!" Rouge panicked. "Tell us!" the two hedgehogs yelled impatiently. "I lost my Chaos emerald…" The two hedgehogs stared at her and then Amy fell over onto the couch and Sonic fell over on the floor.
