June 22nd comes, and it's 9:30 AM. Sonic wakes up first and looks down to Amy. She's snuggled up close to Sonic, a smile on her face. This makes Sonic smile, but he knows they can't stay long.
Leaning close to Amy's ears, Sonic's deep voice is heard in a gentle whisper. "Time to wake up baby."
The pink hedgehog's ears twitch, then she yawns. Opening her green eyes, Amy smiles at her royal blue husband. "Good morning my love."
They share a kiss, then Sonic nuzzles Amy tenderly. "It's almost time for the sonogram."
Amy nuzzles back, sighing contently. "I know, but I just want to lay here with you for a few more minutes."
Sonic chuckles. "Well, that would be nice, but you know Doctor Alnilam keeps a tight schedule."
Amy giggles. "Yes he does. Alright then. Let's get ready."
Sonic climbs out of bed, then helps Amy out of the bed. She's now 5 months pregnant, and needs a little help getting around. Sonic helps Amy into the shower, then joins her. 30 minutes later the two hedgehogs dry off and get dressed. Dash takes the bathroom, and he's done showering in 15 minutes. Sonic dresses in a blue shirt, black shorts, and his blue speed shoes. Amy picks a red sundress and matching sandals. The two hedgehogs check on Dash and find he's chosen a blue shirt, matching shorts, and black shoes.
After eating breakfast, Sonic joins hands with Amy and Dash. "Chaos Control."
The hedgehog family disappears in a flash of blue light.
-Station Square Care Center-
A flash of blue light radiates in the lobby, then three hedgehogs appear. Doctor Alnilam walks into the lobby. "I need the Hedgehogs and the Prowers please."
Sonic, Amy, and Dash all get a confused look on their faces, then see Tails, Cream, and their triplets.
Tails laughs. "Well, didn't expect to see you here."
Sonic nods. "Same here. How are things going with your pregnancy Cream?"
The rabbit smiles. "So far so good. What about Amy?"
Amy puts a hand on her enlarged belly. "Same as you. Nothing to report on."
The two families follow Doctor Alnilam into Exam Room 4. There are two beds, two sonogram machines, and the doctor turns to them. "I'm sure you're confused, so let me explain. Since I'm fairly busy today I had to schedule you both at the same time."
Amy and Cream are helped onto the beds, then Sonic and Tails help Doctor Alnilam get the area ready. Once they're ready the doctor has the females expose their bellies. He layers the special jelly onto Amy and Cream, then turns on the machines. Dash and the Prower triplets watch with curious eyes.
Dash again speaks for the kids. "Doctor, what are you doing?"
Doctor Alnilam smiles. "These machines will help us see how the coming children are doing, Dash."
The four kids nod, and the doctor gives the attachments to Sonic and Tails. First to be observed is Tails and Cream's child. "Let's see… First, this will be a female child. Like your previous daughter, she will resemble you, Cream."
The rabbit wipes a few tears from her chocolate eyes and smiles at Tails. "She looks so beautiful Miles."
The orange fox blushes then turns to the four children. "Come take a look."
They walk over and their eyes widen. Sonic and Amy smile at their nephews, niece, and son.
One triplet turns to Sonic. "Uncle Sonic, will she look like this when she arrives?"
The cobalt speedster chuckles. "No. The doctor says she'll look like your mother."
The female triplet looks at Amy. "Aunt Amy, what about your child?"
The rose-pink hedgehog giggles. "Patience young one. I don't know yet."
Doctor Alnilam is preoccupied with showing Tails and Cream the child's features. "You can see the two ears here, and the hands and feet here. The umbilical cord is doing fine, and you can just start to see the tail right here."
Cream gives Tails' right hand a squeeze, then Doctor Alnilam turns off their machine. "So far everything looks fine. The child is developing normally, and nothing looks out of place."
Cream fixes her clothing and Tails helps her off the bed.
They join their children and Dash as the doctor goes to Sonic and Amy. "Okay Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog. Let's take a look at your child."
Sonic and Amy wait patiently as Doctor Alnilam looks over the image on the screen. "Okay. Your child is also female. You're going to have a daughter this time around."
Amy pulls Sonic over and nuzzles his abs. The doctor points out the features again. "Here's the tail just starting to form. The ears are here, hands and feet are here. The umbilical cord is doing just fine as well."
The machine is turned off, and Amy is helped off the bed. The doctor washes his hands and escorts the two families to the lobby. "Both of you are looking good. Come back again in two months for the second sonogram."
Everyone nods, then the two families walk to Sonic and Amy's house.
-Sonic and Amy's House-
The front door opens and four children dart to the playroom. Amy and Cream sit on the couch while Sonic and Tails get out a poker table. Knuckles and Shadow arrive a few minutes later, and Sonic smiles when Samuel runs into the house.
Shadow and Rouge chuckle, and the black hedgehog picks the brown squirrelhog up. "You ready to lose, faker?"
Sonic grins. "You only win in your mind, young grasshopper."
Tails and Knuckles try to keep from laughing, but fail. Shadow glares at them. "Ha ha ha, it is to laugh."
Tikal and Rouge join Amy and Cream on the couch while Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow play some Texas Hold 'Em Poker. For some reason, the boys decided to wear cowboy outfits. The girls were confused but watched with interest. Every once in a while the children would fight over a toy, so the game stopped for a bit while order was restored.
Cream was busy making a tumbleweed, much to the confusion of Amy, Rouge, and Tikal. 45 minutes goes by, and Cream has finished the tumbleweed. Giving a nod, Cream throws it at the boys. The other three females had been informed of Cream's plan and willingly played along. Basically, the four families had re-created a showdown scene from a western movie.
The tumbleweed bounces lightly across the poker table. Rouge and Cream whistled, then Amy and Tikal chimed in. "Wah wah waaah."
The girls repeated this sequence, and it made the boys smile. Shadow won this particular hand, but with 5 Aces. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles glare at him.
Shadow blinked. "What?"
The other three guys leaped on the black hedgehog. "Cheater!"
It was a play fight, but they pretended to be serious.
You could hear Tails trying not to laugh. "You cheater!"
Sonic is heard next, trying to speak with a cowboy accent. "You didn't think you would get away with that, did yer?"
Next is Knuckles. "First, not teaching me Chaos Control, and now this? That's low Shadow."
Shadow tried to get out from under then other three males, but couldn't because he was laughing. "Okay! Haha! Alright! I-Hehe-I won't cheat again! Hahaha!"
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles get off of Shadow and help him up. Meanwhile Rouge, Tikal, Amy, and Cream are howling with laughter. A few minutes go by and they finally stop laughing, wiping tears from their eyes. The poker game resumes, and eventually Knuckles wins.
The red echidna chuckles. "So what do I win?"
Tikal sidles over to him, swaying her hips and giving her fiancé a naughty wink. "You get one of the best gifts a woman can offer her mate."
Knuckles' amethyst eyes sparkle, and he grins. "Perhaps I should win more often."
Shadow, Tails, and Sonic glare at him, then look at their mates. Amy, Cream, and Rouge shake their heads.
Rouge speaks for the group. "You didn't win, so you get nothing."
This is when Tikal and Knuckles get their quadruplets and leave, since Knuckles didn't want to wait any longer for his reward. After they leave, the girls laugh at the faces their partners have. It was a mix of shock, sadness, and disappointment.
Amy walks over to her blue stud. "Don't worry Sonic, it's only for the rest of the week."
Sonic tickles his pink wife. "I see. Well, perhaps I should tickle you until you change your mind."
Amy squirms as Sonic tickles her. "Hahaha! Okay! I sur-hahahaha-I surrender! Hahahahaha!"
Sonic stops tickling her and helps get the other kids under control.
Shadow picks Samuel up and takes Rouge's hand. "I'll win the next time you have a game, faker."
Sonic laughs. "Keep telling yourself that."
Shadow, Rouge, and Samuel vanish in a flash of green light. Tails picks up two of his triplets and puts them on his shoulders.
Cream gets the other of the triplets and joins Tails. "Thanks for having us over guys. Will we see you for the second sonogram?"
Amy nods. "Well, since we're both scheduled to be there, I guess you will."
Sonic says goodbye to the Prower family, then shuts the door. Turning to the sakura hedgehog, Sonic smiles. "Well, what do we do now?"
Amy looks at the clock, which says it's 5 PM. "Well, it's 5 PM. I'm not in the mood for the mating ritual, so how about a walk in the park?"
Sonic nods. "I think that's fine. Dash, you want to go chase some animals?"
Dash is immediately with his parents. "You know it Daddy. Let's go."
Dash pulls Sonic and Amy out to the front porch. "Come on! If we don't hurry the animals will be gone."
Sonic locks the door, and joins hands with his wife and son. "I guess we better take the short way."
The hedgehog family vanishes in a flash of blue light.
-8 PM-
Another flash of blue light radiates in the living room, and three hedgehogs appear. Sonic carries Dash upstairs to bed, since the bluish-purple hedgehog can barely keep his eyes open.
Dash dresses in his Sonic pajamas and hugs the actual Sonic. "Goodnight Daddy. I love you."
Sonic hugs his son, ruffling the short quills. "Goodnight son. I love you too. Very much."
Amy joins them and Dash hugs her. "Goodnight Mommy. I love you."
Amy gives Dash a kiss to his head. "Goodnight Dash. I love you too."
Dash climbs into bed and closes his jade green eyes. Soon, he's asleep. Sonic and Amy go to their room and undress, then climb under the blue silk sheets. Amy cuddles up to Sonic, putting her head on his chest. She sighs happily when Sonic wraps his strong arms around her body. Sonic's emerald green eyes look into Amy's jade green eyes.
The rose-pink hedgehog presses her soft lips against her cobalt husband's lips, purring softly. Sonic kisses back, purring and rubbing Amy's back.
The kiss breaks, and Amy closes her eyes. "Goodnight Sonikku. I love you so much."
Sonic gently nuzzles Amy. "Goodnight Ames. I love you too. More than you know."
Sonic and Amy are soon asleep with Amy wrapped protectively in Sonic's strong arms.
