...Tails' POV...
It was about a minute after the party was over and everyone was gone. Sonic and I lay in each other's arms, still trying to decide on baby names. Everyone else's names were not what we were looking for- Tailssonic, Sonic Jr., Tails Jr. We were in bed, beneath the warm covers. We had already decided on a name if our baby was a boy, as it would most likely be. We would name it Steven.
"Natasha?" suggested Sonic.
"Too long." I answered.
"Samantha?"
"Too common."
"Jerry?"
"Kids will call her Hairy... and besides, that's a boy's name."
"Nora?"
I thought about it for a moment. "Yes... I like that name, it's cute." I said smiling. Sonic sighed with relief. It had taken a long time to come up with names, I was being picky about it. After all, our poor baby would be stuck with the name we came up with. I curled up closer to Sonic and kissed him. It was a cold night.
The next morning, I woke up to a gray sky and snowflakes dancing to the ground. Today I had a appointment with Dr.Tanemura to get my first ultrasound. Sonic was bouncing up and down with happiness and excitement. Although I did not want to have the baby, I was excited as well to see it for the first time.
There was about thirty centimeters of white snow on the ground (30 cm is like 3 inches... right? Im sorry... I know Im stupid) and we had all bundled up to go out. It was so cold, I could see my breath as it left my mouth.
We had begun building a snowman. The chao built the head, Cream built the middle, and Sonic and I built the body. We rolled our already large snowball in more snow, making it even bigger than me. In my head, I pictured Sonic, Cream and I not long from now building a snowman with me and Sonic's little one. My muscles tensed as I struggled to continue pushing the enormous ball of snow. The second Sonic noticed how hard it was for me to continue, he announced we were finished with the bottom.
"If you keep going,",he told me, "It might hurt the baby."
After we had finished the snowman, we all piled into the warm car and began to drive off to the hospital. We kept the heat cranked up high the whole ride. All the snow on our jackets and in our boots melted into water.
Once we arrived, we went straight to a room in the Maternity Ward. Dr. Tanemura arrived promptly, and as she did she made sure the door was locked and curtains were closed.
I lay down on the bed, and removed my heavy coat. She lifted my shirt so my stomach was fully exposed. "Now what Im going to do is put this gel onto your stomach. At first it will be cold, but later it'll warm up." She was not lying. It seemed almost as cold as the snow.
After the machine was ready, she began searching for the baby. She glided the machine against my stomach, until she found a heartbeat. "That's strange..." the doctor murmured, "I found two heartbeats. Well, congratulations, you are having twins." I nearly fell over. Twins! Now everything I was worried about had been doubled. I looked at the screen.
Sure enough, there were two. Still, I couldn't help smiling at the picture before me. There they were, my two children.
"Now then, I assume you will have a C-Section, because I don't think it's possible for you to have a natural birth." the doctor said.
"Erm, what exactly is a C-Section?" I asked.
"Basically, what it is is a different way of giving birth where your stomach is cut open and the babies are taken out." she answered calmly. At that moment, I think all the color was drained from my face. I looked at my stomach; just the thought of having it cut open made my skin crawl.
It had been one month since my first ultrasound. The snow had melted, and my stomach had grown. Now it was a small round bump rather than just slightly chubby. Finally, I had stopped vomiting, but my two children had invented a new game to make me miserable- kicking me as hard as they possibly could. Whenever I got comfortable anywhere, they would start their game. One would tire of it, then the other would start. Sonic however, was quite happy about this, because he loved to feel them moving in my stomach.
I hardly went out anymore, and when I did, I wore baggy clothes to hide my stomach. The only times I went out were when I had to go to the hospital. Since the first, I had been given one more ultrasound. It was there that I found out I was going to have one boy and one girl.
Sonic and I had begun shopping for Steven and Nora (internet ordering is a very good thing) Since Cream's house was so big, there was plenty of spare rooms. We picked the one closest to ours. It was a large room with green walls the same color as Sonic's eyes (I didn't tell him that was why I picked that color for the room). The carpet was white and soft. There was one large window in the room, letting in just the right amount of light with a view of the backyard.
