As the days passed, more footage of Super Sonic fighting Robot Alnilam was recovered and shown on the news networks. Amy watched with dull green eyes. She'd seen it all before. Meanwhile, Sonic remained in a comatose state. Tails, Cream, Rouge, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tikal visited on various days. Sonic remained out to the world.
Each passing day, the friends lost hope, thinking the blue hero would never recover. However, Amy Rose Hedgehog never lost hope. She remained strong, and two weeks later her hope paid off. One afternoon, Amy returned from a lunch with Cream, and stopped in her tracks when she entered Sonic's room. There on the hospital bed, Sonic's emerald green eyes looked into Amy's jade green eyes.
The pink hedgehog could barely form words. "S-S-Sonic?"
Sonic smiled, and Amy nearly jumped on him. "Oh Sonikku! I was so worried!"
Sonic held Amy as she layered kisses all over his face and muzzle. Eventually their lips and tongues meet. After the kiss breaks, both hedgehogs stare into each other's eyes. Tears of joy fall from their eyes, and Sonic gently nuzzles Amy, who nuzzles back. Looking into Amy's eyes, Sonic opens his mouth, points to it, and then shakes his head.
Amy frowns. "You can't eat?" Sonic shakes his head, and Amy tries again. "You have no food?"
Again, the cobalt speedster shakes his head. This time, he points to the location of his voice box, and Amy nods. "You have no voice."
Sonic smiles, giving Amy a thumbs up. Amy sighs. "How long will it take you to get your voice back?"
Sonic shrugs, then a doctor enters the room. She drops her clipboard when she sees Sonic is awake.
Amy chuckles. "I told you he'd be fine."
The doctor shakes her head. "Two weeks in a coma, and he finally wakes up."
Amy frowns. "He has no voice."
The doctor shakes her head. "With the injuries he suffered he'll be bedridden for at least the next month."
Amy's jade eyes begin filling with tears, but the doctor continues. "Sonic is going to have some trouble walking once he leaves the hospital, and even then he'll need 6 months to fully recover."
Amy lowers her head, quietly whimpering.
The doctor sighs. "I wish I had a better prognosis Mrs. Hedgehog, but I don't. I'm sorry."
The pink hedgehog nods and the doctor leaves. Turning back to her cerulean husband, Amy eventually stops crying, and looks at Sonic.
"Are you able to tell me what injuries you suffered?"
Sonic nods. He points to his arms, legs, ribs, back, and neck. His next action resembles something breaking. Amy gasps as she realizes what happened to her husband. "You suffered a broken neck, back, arms, legs, and ribs?"
Sonic nods, then points to his head and performs an action resembling something growing. Amy frowns, and asks a passing doctor. She finds out Sonic had also suffered brain swelling as well.
Returning to the room, Amy looks at Sonic. "You have no idea how lucky you are."
Sonic nods and hangs his head. It's gently lifted by Amy, who smiles and kisses him. "I'll be here every chance I get, Sonikku."
Sonic mouths "I love you Amy" to her, and she nuzzles him gently. "I love you too, Sonic."
She climbs back on the bed and curls up to Sonic for a nap. Sonic smiles as Amy begins purring. Closing his eyes, Sonic takes a nap himself.
-1 month later-
It's now the beginning of November. Everyone is there. Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, Tikal, and Shadow are all talking to Sonic. He still has no voice, but he's writing his answers down. Keeping their kids in line, everyone waits for the doctor to arrive. Outside the door several media networks are broadcasting live. Sonic was about to leave the hospital.
The anchorwoman for the Station Square network was updating everyone. "Nearly two months ago, world hero Sonic the Hedgehog was nearly killed in battle by a robot left behind by Doctor Robotnik. Today, he's expected to leave the hospital."
The doctor arrives in a few minutes. Once again, it's Doctor Alnilam, and he nods to everyone. "First off, I'm really sorry about all this. I have to admit that I wasn't sure Sonic would live, but as you can all see, he's alive and recovering well."
Everyone forgives the doctor, and then the time arrives. Doctor Alnilam nods to Sonic. "I've been instructed to let you leave the hospital, Sonic. I hope your recovery goes well."
Sonic smiles and takes a breath. Still wearing the blue shorts from his battle, Sonic sits up and gently puts his legs over the side of the bed. Knuckles and Shadow step forward, and Sonic puts an arm around each of their shoulders. With Knuckles and Shadow's support, Sonic gets off the hospital bed.
Cheers erupt from all over Station Square and many other locations, since it was a live broadcast. Knuckles and Shadow help Sonic walk out of his room and eventually out of the hospital. The bright November sunshine forces Sonic to shut his eyes until they adjust to the light change.
The reporters follow with multiple camera flashes. The media tried to get some questions answered, but each attempt failed.
It was a slow process, and Shadow got frustrated. "This is going to take forever. I'm taking the short way."
Getting everyone together, Shadow summons all of his strength. "CHAOS CONTROL!"
Sonic, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Tikal, Rouge, Cream, Shadow, and all 9 kids vanish in a flash of green light.
-Sonic and Amy's house-
A bright green flash appears and shows everyone. Shadow hits the ground.
Rouge kneels next to him. "Are you okay, hon?"
The black hedgehog nods. "Remind me to never teleport 17 people ever again."
The group chuckles, and Tails helps Knuckles get Sonic into his house. Amy and Dash follow, thanking everyone for their help. After everyone leaves, Amy and Dash join Sonic on the couch. The cerulean speedster cuddles his rose-pink wife and bluish-purple son to him. All three hedgehogs are soon sleeping, happy that Sonic has finally come back home.
November becomes December, and Christmas comes around. Sonic still needs help getting around, but he's gotten his voice back.
Amy snuggles with him as Dash plays with some of his presents. "I'm so glad you're home, Sonikku."
Sonic smiles. "Me too, Ames."
Dash had gotten more clothes and toy cars. Amy had gotten another special perfume that made Sonic crazier for her. Sonic had gotten a cane from Shadow. It was more of a joke, but it had a good cause in mind. Sonic's 26th birthday was tomorrow, and Amy had a special present in mind for him.
Around 9 PM, Amy changed Dash and put him in his crib. Coming back downstairs Amy locks the door and turns off the lights. Supporting her royal blue husband, the rose-pink hedgehog helps him to their room. Both hedgehogs take off their clothes and climb into bed.
Sonic wraps his arms around Amy, and she begins purring. Sonic purrs as well, and a few minutes later Amy gives Sonic a kiss. "Goodnight Sonic. I love you."
Sonic smiles. "I love you too, Amy. Goodnight."
Soon the two hedgehogs are asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.
