Chapter Three: A New Journey Begins

It had been three weeks since Omega, Gamma and Emerl were finished. Cream had been getting sick every morning for the past week. She sat in the bathroom, throwing up again. The group that was going to fight had been training for the past three weeks. They were going to leave later on today.

She spit into the toilet one final time and walked over to the sink. Turning the handle to the left, cold water began to flow out. She splashed her face a few times and turned off the water. Cream lifted her head so she could stare into the mirror.

" What's wrong with me?" she questioned her reflection.

" Cream?" Huri called, knocking on the door, " are you okay in there?"

Cream quickly flushed the toilet, " yeah I'm fine Huri! I'll be out in a second!"

She wiped her hands off and opened the door. Huri stood there, with a worried look on her face.

" Cream, every morning for the past week you've been rushing in here to throw up. I'm worried about you."

Cream smiled, " I'm okay. Really, I think I just have a bad case of the flu."

" You sure?" Huri raised an eyebrow.

She nodded, " positive."

Huri shrugged, " okay. You had better tell Amy and Rouge too. She's really worried also."

" I will, see ya later Huri."

Cream walked past her. Huri sighed as she walked into the bathroom. Cream walked down the hall and saw Tails standing by her door.

" Cream, are you okay? Amy told me that you've been throwing up for the past week. Maybe I should take a look at you before we leave tomorrow," worry was written on his face.

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek, " I'm fine okay. There is no need to worry."

Tails smiled as he kissed her on the lips softly, " okay. I have a two presents for you. I wanted to give you them before we left."

He pulled his hands out from behind his back. A small velvet box was in each hand. She just stared at them as he handed her the box that was in his left hand.

" Open that one first."

She nodded and lifted the lid. Her mouth hung open in shock for a second as she pulled the small ring out.

" Tails, it's so pretty," Cream whispered as she stared at him.

He only grinned. The band was made of silver, and it had small pieces of garnet it in. It shinned as she stared at it.

" It's a promise ring. As long as you have this ring and I have your faith in me, I know that I will make it back," he stated.

" You have my faith Tails. I know you wouldn't leave me," she hugged onto him tightly.

She was truly afraid; he had been acting strangely for the three weeks.

He hugged back just as tightly, " you're forgetting about my other present Cream."

He pulled away from her a little bit and got on one knee. Cream smiled as he opened the box to reveal a golden engagement ring. The band was made of gold and in the middle was a small diamond, and it was surrounded by small little pieces of garnet.

" Will you marry me?" he asked as he held her hand.

" I believe you already know the answer to that, but to answer you again; yes! Of course I will marry you when you get back!"

He slid the ring onto her ring finger and stood up, " just making sure I have a reason to come back."

Tears spilled from her eyes as she hugged onto him tightly, " I know you'll come back."

Tails smiled as he also slid the promise ring onto her index finger.

He kissed her hand, " I've gotta go get ready. We are leaving in about an hour. See me off?"

She nodded, " course."

" I'm glad my stunning fiancée, see you in an hour."

They kissed on the lips, and then Tails began to walk towards his workshop. He turned around and waved and she waved back.

She giggled as she looked at her ring, " I've gotta show Rouge, Amy and Huri!"

Cream ran down in the opposite direction Tails had gone. She skid to a halt in front of Rouge's door. She pounded on it for a few seconds before Gen answered the door.

" Hi Auntie Cream. What do you need?" the little girl asked.

" Where is your mommy? I need to show her something."

" She in the briefing room with Auntie Amy and Auntie Huri. Can I see too?"

Cream smiled as she bent down to her level and showed the bat/echidna her rings, " Uncle Tails gave them to me! We are going to get married as soon as he comes back!"

Gen's eyes widened in surprise, " yay! Auntie Cream is getting married to Uncle Tails!"

" Yep and I want you, " she pointed to Gen, " to be my flower girl!"

Gen smiled as she hugged her Aunt, " really! I get to wear a pretty dress and be a part of the wedding!"

Cream nodded as she hugged the little kid back, " come on, let's go find your mommy and other Aunts so I can show them my ring!"

Gen giggled and nodded, then began to run down the hall. Cream laughed and ran after her. She felt her head begin to spin and began to stumble, Gen looked back to she Auntie Cream leaning against a wall for support.

She ran back towards her, " Auntie Cream, are you okay?"

Cream nodded and let go of the wall, " I'm fine. I just haven't eaten this morning. After we go show off my ring, how about you and me get some breakfast?"

Gen's stomach growled and she nodded, " okay."

Gen could tell that something was wrong, and stayed close to Cream. After about 10 minutes of walking, they were in the briefing room. Gen ran into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly.

" Mommy! I'm going to be a flower girl!"

Rouge looked at Cream who walked over to them and showed her ring.

" Amy!" Rouge yelled, " come see the ring Tails gave Cream!"

Amy came running in, with Kage right behind her, and Page right behind him. She took Cream's hand and stared at it.

" It's gorgeous!" Amy exclaimed, " so now it's official?"

Cream nodded, " as soon as you guys get back, we are going to have the wedding. I wanted to know if Gen could be the flower girl?"

" Of course!" Rouge yelled.

Tails sat in his workshop with Shadow, Knuckles, Sonic, Gamma and Omega. Emerl had gone to find the girls and kids to tell them that they were leaving in half an hour. Tails was doing last minute repairs to the two robots.

" So you gave her the ring?" Knuckles asked.

" Yes," was Tails reply.

" Did she like it?" Shadow asked.

" Yes."

" Can you say anything else besides yes?"

" Yes."

Shadow and Knuckles laughed as Sonic growled in frustration. Tails lifted his goggles and put down his tools.

" That should do it. You two are ready to go," Tails said smiling.

The two robots made bleeping noises and moved flexed their hands.

" Uh Tails?" Knuckles asked.

" What it is?" Tails quirked and eyebrow.

" Why did you take most of the weapons off Omega and Gamma?"

" I've decided that they will stay behind and watch over Cream and the kids. She's sick and I don't feel comfortable leaving her with just one defense. This way, I'll have peace of mind."

" It's not like our kids are useless Tails," Shadow said with a huff.

" I know that, but if Tye sees our plane leave and attacks here, they will pretty much be."

Sonic nodded, " that's true, and who knows what he'll do to them."

Many dark thoughts came into the three father's minds, but Tails had vision of all three kids getting hurt. He ran over to the computer and began typing furiously. Tails considered all three of those kids his, just as Cream did. They would spend countless days watching over them. He wouldn't let anything happen to them, even if it cost him his life.

Emerl walked into the briefing room and saw the girls and kids, " please come into the briefing room. It is almost time for you to be leaving."

Page, Kage and Gen all grabbed onto their mothers. Cream could see the tears in their eyes. Rouge, Huri and Amy hugged their kids tightly and kissed them on the forehead.

" Let's go tell daddy that you'll see him later," Huri said smiling.

Page nodded, " I'm gunna miss you mommy."

" Oh, I'm going to miss you too Page!"

" Mommy! I don't want you to go!" Kage whined.

" Mommy has too. We are going to make the world safe for you kids to play," Amy explained.

" Remember your promise mommy," Gen said.

Rouge nodded and kissed her forehead, " we'll be back soon."

Cream walked out of the room and towards Tails workshop, the mothers and kids followed her. She walked down the stairs and ran into Tails' arms.

" I'm going to miss you Tails," she whispered as he hugged her tightly.

" I'm going to miss you too. I'll be back soon though."

She nodded into his chest as he kissed her forehead repeatedly.

" I've reprogrammed Omega and Gamma. They are going to stay here and protect you and the kids while we are gone. I've also programmed them to be able to get each other ready for battle."

Cream looked into his eyes and they kissed, only breaking it because they needed air. Page hugged his father tightly as Shadow just rubbed his head.

" Be good for Auntie Cream okay son," Shadow stated.

Page nodded and hugged his father tighter; Shadow smiled and hugged his son back. Sonic was hugging his son tightly and kissed his forehead.

" Be back soon. I gotta play hero now," he said.

Kage smiled and hugged his father around the neck. Knuckles was holding his daughter in his arms.

" Be good, be safe, take care of the other ok?"

Gen nodded, " be safe, take care of mommy and the others, and come home soon ok?"

Knuckles nodded and kissed his daughters forehead, " oh, and you're in charge of the Master Emerald. Make sure Page and Kage don't break it like they've done before."

The parents said their final good byes and got on the X-Tornado. Tails took off his necklace and put the key in the ignition.

" Ready for take off!" Tails yelled as the engines started up.

Everyone waved as the plane disappeared.

" Be safe everyone," Cream whispered.
