YAY FOR NEW REVIEWERS!!! Thanks to all of you, your reviews are what makes this story keep continuing on! Hmm... I just figured out where I got the name Stryker from... anyone see X-men 2? Ring any bells?
Minagirl: Thanks so much, I'm sure your fics don't suck, if you post any, let me know.
Splat-0941: As for the 'come to term line' (I thought everyone knew what it meant sorry ^^;) it just means the doctor is waiting until Amy's ready to have the baby like when it's ready to be born you know? And when it is born, he has plans. I'll try to be more descriptive next time, I have a real problem with that.
SweetLilAmyRose: You ok? ^-^ If we're online at the same time I'm ready to chat... if the stupid computer of mine isn't being stupid!
Inu-Ashura: *gags at the thought of a lemon* Even if I liked them I would never be able to write one... WAY to descriptive! You won't be seeing any lemons from me,
Pheonixwings: Thanks! That means a lot.
Is everything good now? O_o Hope so!
Chapter VII
8½ Months later, a lot had happened... Rouge had given birth to a healthy happy baby boy. Her and Knuckles had decided on the name Orion. Amy was well-along in her pregnancy with Sonic constantly keeping watch should something happen. It had been pretty quiet for the most part, but he was sure something was going to happen soon. Amy had the pregnancy checked out with the doctor just to make sure everything was going along smoothly. The doctor had to admit it was the first time he had ever done an ultrasound for a hedgehog before. Shadow hadn't been spotted for quite a while and the others were getting worried. Except Sonic, he knew the black hedgehog could take care of himself.
It was another lazy day... Amy didn't feel like moving around much so it helped if a speedy blue being to help around.
"Sonic! You can stop keeping watch... come and watch Passions!" Amy Rose called to Sonic who was sitting on the roof.
"No thanks!" he called back. "Not unless you wanna watch Indy 500 races!" he yelled.
"Ok!" she yelled back. "Come on then!" she was thankful he cared so much but 5 hours a day?!
Sonic reluctantly left his post to watch racing with Amy. He knew she was worrying about him but he had his reasons. He knew one chance he turned his back something would happen to endanger Amy.
"Ok, just for a sec..." he zipped down the side of the building into the room almost startling Amy.
"Sonic! You're probably scaring her!" said Amy patting her belly.
Now that made Sonic give her a look that bordered on confused and concerned. "Her?" was all he asked.
"She'll probably be a girl." said Amy simply. "Now, sit." she commanded.
He took a seat beside her on the couch. "No way." he said. "It'll be a boy, and it'll be just like me!" he said smiling his elf-like smile.
She gave him a grin. "You sure?" she asked and closed her eyes and began sewing a pink baby bootie.
This made Sonic think of something else. He knew Amy had gone to the doctor's.... "do you know?!" he blurted out.
Amy thought for a moment, she decided to have some fun with him. "Maaaybe..." she replied.
"Teeelll meee!" said Sonic with the same tone a five year old would use.
She put a finger to her cheek. "What would you do if it was..."
"A what? A what!" asked Sonic anxiously and added. "You said you didn't want to know! You said you'd rather be surprised!"
"Oh, I never said that..." said Amy. "I said that YOU wanted to be surprised."
This was driving Sonic crazy then he finally caught onto her little game. "Aahhh... of COURSE I wanted to be surprised, but if you've ruined it..." he said looking craftily at her. "Then I guess I'll have to just leave and never return!"
"Hey! No way!" said Amy. "I don't know! I was just kidding!" she said and grabbed his arm.
This made Sonic begin to laugh. "So was I! I'd never leave ya." he said giving her a peck on the cheek and added. "Yeesh, you're more gullible than good ol' Knuckles."
"I am NOT!" said Amy haughtily. "I wasn't tricked by Eggman like, six times!" she retorted and threw a pillow at him.
"Hey!" he said dodging the oncoming pillow. "So that's the way you wanna play? Fine!" he took another pillow and hurled it at her. Not too hard of course.
She squealed as it hit her in the head. "You'll pay for that!" she said laughing. "Hey look! It's Shadow!" she said pointing.
"Huh?" he looked and got whapped in the back with the pillow. And then just stood there not saying a word.
Amy paused waiting for him to continue the game and finally looked to see what he was looking at. "What the..." she gasped. It WAS Shadow...
*~*~*~*~*
The Dr. Stryker had been patiently waiting for many months, his spies constantly relaying information to him. It was now the time to act.
"Nurse Mindy, in my office, NOW." he called on the intercom.
In a flash she was there at his office door. "Yes Sir!" she said enthusiastically.
"It is the time to put my plan into action." he said pressing his hands together in a vertical angle.
She frowned. "And you need me for...?" she asked.
He grabbed her hand. "I need you to get close to her, and lure her to me." he said quietly.
Mindy gave him another upside down smile. Something about this plan didn't feel right... "But Sir..." she said beginning to protest.
"Now, now. If you do this for me... I -promise- you will be set free..." she said giving her a sincere fakey grin.
She sighed, defeated by this overbearing man again. "What do I need to do...?" she asked and fell to her knees.
*~*~*~*~*
"Shadow!" cried Amy getting up from the couch and waddling over to him. "Are you alright?"
At first the ebony and crimson coloured hedgehog did not answer. He was horribly injured. Blood was pouring from a leg wound making a nice stain on the carpet. Scratches covered his face and arms as if he had gone through a massive rose bush. At his normal top speed.
"Shadow?" asked Sonic helping him into a chair.
"The-they're coming..." he managed to gasp. "Pre-prepare yourselves... especially... Amy..." he passed out after those few words. His head slumping on the top of the chair. Sonic, a little shocked carried him to their room and laid him on the bed. Shortly after Amy entered to clean and dress the cuts.
"What the heck could that have been about...?" Amy asked as she dabbed some disinfectant on the leg wound. She sighed, it would need stitches.
Sonic looked worried. "I don't know... whatever it was... I'm worried about you..." he went to keep watch again, leaving Amy to tend to the injured Shadow.
"I'm worried about me too..." she said to herself and prepared to stitch Shadow up.
*~*~*~*~*
Rouge, happy to be slimmed down was sitting quietly ading a book when the phone rang. Sighing she heard the tiny wail of Orion begin to sound from the other room.
"Knuckles!" she called walking into the baby's room. "Ph-oh..." Knuckles was fast asleep in the rocking chair beside the crib. Smiling to herself she picked the baby up and rushed to the phone.
"Hello?" she asked speaking in the receiver.
"I'm coming for the pink one..." a gravelly voice said on the other end.
"Is this a joke?" asked Rouge.
"No, and once I've come for her, I'm coming for you." it said.
Hearing a click meaning they disconnected Rouge *69'ed the number and came up with nothing.
"Better call Amy..." she said and dialed a different number.
A/N sorry if it was shorter than usual, sorry for posting it so late!
