Hello again! Thanks for the awesome reviews! Sorry about the weekly updates, I'm not supposed to go on the computer during the week anymore...
Alright, good job, Pocky is cookie sticks dipped in different flavors, ^^(my favorite is chocolate right now!) and here's the sneak, preview! *waits for applause but hears crickets chirping* um yeah...
At long last Amy has finally stopped chasing Sonic and for good reason... he's been missing in action for years. She believes he might be dead maybe... Stumbling upon Shadow in her own apartment Miss Amy Rose discovers feelings she never had before... feelings that could probably develop into something more...
There you go! It might change... but it's a little something to look forward to after this fic's done. Oh yeah, it will be a songfic. Anyone know Avril Lavigne's "Things I'll never say"?
Chapter X
Sonic still irritated and pacing actually jumped half a mile when he heard a knock at the door. Slowly opening it he found Knuckles and co.
"Ok, so tell me again." said Knuckles jumping right onto the painful subject. "Why can't you just go and rescue her?" he asked.
Sonic just looked at him forlornly. "I can't... she sent me this letter... from twhere she's being held by that... that..." he said in a voice filled with hatred and pointed to the note.
Picking it up and reading it the red echidna muttered and "Ah..." sound. "I see..."he said and placed the note neatly on the coffee table. "I'm sorry..."
Sonic just sighed. "It's ok... it just... ticks me off. She's probably scared and alone... who knows what might happen!?" he said getting frustrated again.
"He won't do anything until she gives birth." said Shadow now up and walking despite his former injuries. "That's what he's waiting for."
"Then let's hope it's not a premature one..." said Rouge cradling her baby in the crook of her arm. The little bat/echidna slept peacefully through the blitz of this conversation.
"Thanks Shadow, thanks everyone." said Sonic. "I don't know how I'm just sitting around here doing nothing. And sometimes...I feel like this is my fault!"
"Don't say that." said Shadow. "There's nothing you could have done to prevent this from happening. Just like there was nothing I could do for Maria..." he said suddenly remembering the painful memories.
"Shadow!" exclaimed Rouge. "Do you remember your past finally?" she asked hopefully.
"Parts of it." he replied. "My memory is slowly coming back in bits and pieces."
Sonic was thinking that was a bad example, didn't Maria die? She was going to die anyway right? Well he would make sure nothing would happen to Amy.
"Good stuff Shadow." he said finally. "Just tell me when you remember the final hazard battle."
"Sure." said Shadow.
"Anyway," said Knuckles. "Shadow is right about one thing. There was nothing you could do for Amy and right now we have to respect her wishes."
"Right..." said Sonic still depressed. "What else is there to do?" he wondered.
"Not a lot to do." said Tails. "We should do something that gets our minds off of Amy. Can you do that Sonic?"
"Whatever..., what did you have in mind?" he asked doubtfully.
The fox boy smiled and pulled out a deck of cards. "Crazy Eights anyone?" he asked.
Sonic declined by raising his hand. "Nah... I need to be alone for a while..." he said and just like that zoomed up to the rooftop.

Some time later...
Amy was worried. She knew her due date was sometime next week but only about 5% of babies are actually born on their due date! She waited for Mindy to return so she could write her next note. She was thankful the Doctor hadn't found out about their last note. They had been really lucky he hadn't found out about the meetings too. The Doctor hadn't done much to her in the past week or so, a blood test here... a check-up there... he was just making sure she was healthy.
Sighing forlornly she awaited the door to open and Mindy to return. Then hearing the door open she whipped her head over to see who is was.
"Amy!" said the voice and clicked on the light.
"Mindy!" said Amy and ran to give her friend a big hug. "Is it time?" she asked.
"Yes, I have the directions right here... I went to a lot of trouble to get them too..." she said trying not to remember how she got them.
"Ok, paper and pen." said Amy and grasped the two items when they were held out to her. Writing another note she gave it back to Mindy. The mouse girl stuffed everything into an envelope and prepared to leave.
A loudspeaker boomed just then causing them both to jump. "Mindy, in my office NOW." it said.
Mindy looked nervously at Amy and back at the letter. It HAD to be sent... "I wonder..." she said looking at the air vent. She slipped the letter in and let it blow away. "It will reach them, I know it." she said and left the room to see the Doctor.
Stepping outside his door she asked. "Hello?"
"Enter," said the voice.
"Yes sir?" Mindy asked. Hoping he wasn't going to ask her what she thought he was going to ask her.
"I'd like you to meet someone..." he said and thrust a twisting clearly angry being at her.
"Let me go!" the male voice said.
Mindy stepped out of the way trying to get a good look. It was a mouse boy, he was brownish in colour with a tuft of darker hair on top of his head and blue sneakers with two white stripes. Quite handsome she thought but him being here was obviously a bad sign...
"See? You two are my next project... we should see what happens when we breed two different species together..." he said.
The two mice looked at each other in horror. Stepping forward Mindy said bravely. "But I'm free now, Doctor! You can't do this!" she said her voice rising.
"Did I say that?" he asked. "I must have been joking... now go. Get acquainted with him." he said and turned his chair around. "Oh and I know about your little rendevous with the hedgehog. Don't do it again."
Mindy just grabbed the boy and slammed the door behind them. She cursed lightly under her breath.
*~*~*~*~*
Sitting in the fading daylight Sonic pondered on his next move. What if a letter never came? Would he go anyway? There wasn't much time left. Amy was due very, very soon.
Lost in his thoughts he barely noticed an envelope which had blown across the roof. Suddenly determined to get it he jumped off the building to catch it as it was falling. Once caught, he jumped off alternating buildings to land back where he sat before.
Looking at the front, he noticed it was addressed to him. Feeling a jolt of exhilaration he ripped it open and quickly read it.
Sonic,
There isn't much time left. That baby's coming, I can feel it. You must come now, I'm sure you're willing to face the risks... directions to where I am are located in the envelope. Use them please, and be careful.
I love you and I miss you! XOXOXO
Amy Rose.
After reading it over a few more times he clenched the letter in his right hand and threw it up in the air with a few callings of "YES!!!"
Then, running back downstairs he went to tell the others.
"You're sure you wanna do this, Sonic? Alone?" asked Knuckles after reading the letter as well.
"I don't want to put anyone else at risk." he said. "I think it's better this way..."
Placing little Orion in his father's arms Rouge walked straight up to Sonic and hit him upside the head. "Don't be stupid! You won't stand a chance in that place without help. Look at Shadow..." she said gesturing over to the black and red hedgehog standing propped against the doorframe.
Rubbing his head Sonic thought for a moment. Then he made his decision. "I'll take one person." he said. "Shadow."
"But he's hurt!" said Tails. "Take me, Sonic..."
"Shadow thinks this place has something to do with his past. He'll come anyway, even if I don't ask him." said Sonic. "Right?"
Shadow just shrugged and looked away.
"I'm coming too." said Knuckles. "Don't. Try to stop me." he said making a fist.
"Ok, ok." said Sonic giving in. "We leave at first light. If you're not up. You're not coming." he said and yawned. "We better get some rest... you all can crash here if you want..."
Tails walked timidly up to Sonic. "Y-you don't need me?" he asked looking at the floor.
"Tails... little buddy..." said Sonic patting him on the shoulder. "You have a very important task. Once everyone's out we need you to help us. Can you do that?" he asked.
Giving him the salute. Tails smiled. "Yes! I'll be there Sonic. Come back safe, all of you." he said.
"We will." replied the blue hedgehog. "We will..."
