Station Square.
Scourge and Amy's Apartment.
Day Time.
Amy looked unbelievingly at her calendar as she was about 2 weeks late, meaning that there was the possibility of her being pregnant, especially because she hadn't been this late since she was 16 or 17.
Of course, Amy couldn't know for sure without doing a pregnancy test first and naturally she didn't have one at home. Amy's first impulse was to go to the drugstore to buy 1, it was Saturday so she didn't have to teach today and could do it right now, but then she thought that maybe Shadow and Sonic would like to do that together with her, they were the fathers or, rather one was the father and the other the uncle after all and since the 2 wanted to come over to her place later that afternoon, she had met the 2 hedgehog brothers more or less regularly since Valentine's day, she could tell them about her suspicion and they could then go together to the drugstore.
So Amy went about her day, tidying up the apartment, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, doing some laundry, then she took a shower and waited for Shadow and Sonic to arrive. Fortunately, they would have the apartment to themselves again, after breakfast Scourge had explained that he would first go over to his workroom at their father's house, getting some work done, and then spend the rest of the day and the night with Silver.
At about four o'clock the 2 hedgehog brothers rang the bell and Amy let them in, embracing from left to right, both Sonic and Shadow at the same time, kissing them enthusiastically, dragging them into her home and closing the door.
"Wow, that's a nice welcome. Maybe we should always spend 3 days apart if it leads to this." Sonic said to Amy rather unusual behavior.
Yes, of course Amy had missed Shadow and Sonic, but due to her job and theirs it hadn't been possible to meet before Saturday. Yet, Amy's excitement had more to do with her potential pregnancy but she didn't tell Shadow and Sonic right away, enjoying the feeling of their hands on her body, their lips on her skin.
And Amy could tell that Shadow and Sonic were enjoying her touch as well, undressing her right there in the living room, cupping her breasts, pressing their cocks against her stomach so that she could feel their arousal. Amy was sure Shadow and Sonic wouldn't make it to the bedroom this time and she was grateful that her brother wasn't home.
So, with a lot of kisses and caresses Shadow, Sonic, and Amy sank down on the couch, removing the rest of her clothes, shedding their own, letting their lips wander down her throat to her breasts until each brother was sucking and licking one of her nipples, Sonic on her left and Shadow on her right. It was an overwhelming sensation, so Amy simply closed her eyes, moaning loudly, her right hand messing up Shadow's long, spiky black and red hair and her left hand in Sonic's long spiky cobalt blue quills.
Then Shadow and Sonic let their lips wander lower, over Amy's belly and her thighs, until one of the 2 hedgehog brothers parted her legs, sneaking a peek she could see that it was Sonic, kneeling between them, pausing. Amy let out a frustrated growl, causing both Shadow and Sonic to chuckle and Shadow.
"Impatient, aren't we?" Shadow questioned then he crawled up Amy's body again, latching onto her right breast, while his right hand was kneading her left breast, teasing its nipple with his right thumb.
Finally Amy could feel Sonic's hot breath ghosting over her wet pussy while his hands lifted her legs, placing her thighs on his shoulders, before he started to pleasure her with his mouth, using his lips and tongue, driving her crazy, causing her to scream out her lust, her body covered in sweat.
Amy's hands were grabbing handfuls of Shadow and Sonic's quills now, lightly pulling, while her hips were bucking up in rhythm with Sonic's ministrations and then she climaxed, her whole body going hard, her hips lifting from the couch, while the brothers still held her.
When Amy was shuddering with aftershocks, Shadow and Sonic slowed down their licking and sucking, crawling up her body, kissing her mouth, first Shadow, then Sonic, and she could taste herself on his lips, gently stroking her thighs, her stomach, her thighs while she was still catching her breath.
"That was... a-amazing." Amy said as it was all she could say and especially Sonic looked smug.
"I thought you would like that, I still remembered your reaction from the last time I pleasured you like this." Sonic said turned to his older brother. "She tastes wonderful, Shadow, especially pure like today, without the flavor of your cum mixed into it!"
While Amy blushed, remembering that the last time Sonic had done this to her was right after she and Shadow had became intimate, the 2 hedgehog brothers laughed for a moment.
"Well, you didn't have to eat her out after I had come inside of her." Shadow said, winking at Amy then leaned into her right ear. "I'd like to taste you too. Is that okay? Or do you need more time to recover?"
Instinctively, Amy shook her head spreading her legs.
Shadow smiled then kissed Amy's lips. "Great! Just lean back and enjoy then." he said before kissing down her body until he reached his goal.
In the meantime, Sonic's mouth was busy on Amy's neck and her breasts, kissing, biting, teasing. It felt so good what Shadow and Sonic did to Amy, better than any other sexual experience she had before, and it didn't take her long to reach her peak again.
"You're right, Sonic." Shadow said, his head resting on Amy's right thigh. "She tastes sweet and spicy, better than any delicacy I have ever eaten."
And with one last kiss to the inside of Amy's right thigh, Shadow sat down next to her, on her right, while Sonic occupied the space on her left, their arms firmly wrapped around her waist, their heads resting against her shoulders while she could still feel their arousals pressing against her hips. Whereas Amy already had 2 orgasms, Shadow and Sonic had none so far. Time for Amy to change that. So Amy stirred, freeing herself from Shadow and Sonic embrace.
"Let me do something for you now!" Amy said, whispering.
Amy slid down from the couch kneeling on the floor between Shadow and Sonic, touching their cocks with each of her hands as she held Shadow on her right hand and held Sonic on her left hand. Shadow and Sonic moaned simultaneously. Of course, Karin could give them a hand job, something she considered herself being good at after being told so since she had her first real boyfriend at the age of 15, but today she wanted to try out something new. Although Amy had been several times on the receiving end of oral sex, she had never before given a guy a blow job, just because the idea of taking a man's cock into her mouth had always seemed a little bit disgusting to her but with Shadow and Sonic it was different. Amy wanted to taste them as much as Shadow and Sonic had wanted to taste her, she already loved the way they smelled, Sonic like cinnamon and licorice, Shadow like caramel and coffee, and from her friends Cream and Tikal she knew that a man's flavor was strongest on his cock.
And Amy had to admit that they were right as she took Sonic's into her mouth, her tongue caressing the backside of his shaft while she was moving her head up and down, teasing the tip from time to time, she had read and watched enough porn to know how to do this, tasting precum, softly stroking his left thigh with her left hand while her right hand was gently caressing Shadow's cock, not fast enough to make him come, but intensely enough to keep him entertained while her main focus was on Sonic's pleasure.
Amy could feel Sonic's left hand in her quills, while his right hand held Shadow's left hand pressing into her right shoulder while they clasped each other's free hands, their fingers entwined, something she found unusual but arousing at the same time as arousing as hearing them gasp.
"Amy!" Sonic said, moaning.
"Rose!" Shadow said, moaning.
While Amy was moving her mouth faster and faster up and down his shaft, Sonic's grip on her quills tightened.
"Amy, stop or I'll cum." Sonic said was all he was able to say.
Amy let Sonic's cock slip from her lips, searching his eyes. "Good, then cum." she said with a smug smile winking at him, before resuming her efforts.
It didn't take Sonic long to peak, his hips jerking off the couch, his hand slightly pulling Amy's quills, moaning deeply while she could feel his cock pulsing in her mouth and then taste his hot seed on her tongue. It was bitter and salty but also somehow purely Sonic so Amy swallowed everything, licking him clean.
Sonic loosened his grip on Amy's quills, tenderly running his left fingers through it, smiling down at her. "I love you, Amy." he said before taking her left hand into his left hand, pulling her up, embracing her tightly and kissing her deeply while her right hand was still wrapped around his older brother's cock, pausing.
Shadow cleared his throat. "Um, do you plan to continue or shall I take care of my own needs?" he asked.
Amy kissed Sonic one last time, pushing his quills behind his ears with her left hand then she focused on Shadow, kissing down his furry chest and stomach until her lips brushed against the tip of his cock.
"You're amazing, do you know that?" Shadow asked whispering as Amy took him into her mouth while his right hand was caressing her neck and her back, his left hand still clasped in Sonic's right hand.
Amy repeated with Shadow what she had already performed on Sonic until he also spilled into her mouth, his essence tasted similar bitter and salty but also different something that was uniquely Shadow and again she swallowed what he had to give her, until his limp cock slipped from her lips.
Afterwards Amy rested her head on Shadow's right thigh, looking up at him from heavy-lidded eyes and he helped her to get up from the floor with both hands, so that she could occupy again her place between the 2 hedgehog brothers then he pressed their foreheads together, looking deeply into her eyes and although he didn't say it, unlike Sonic she could see the love and affection he had for her in his gaze.
"Wow, that was unexpected." Sonic said chuckling, grabbing Amy's right hand, entwining their fingers.
Shadow agreed. "Yeah, how did we earn that rather special treat?" he asked.
Amy bit her lip smiling then she reached over Shadow's lap to take his right hand into her left hand, noticing that the 2 hedgehog brothers were still clasping each other's hands. Now Shadow, Sonic, and Amy were holding hands, a perfect setting for what she was about to tell them.
"I think I'm pregnant." Amy said smiling, looking from Shadow to Sonic.
Shadow and Sonic needed a moment to digest Amy's good news.
"Are you sure?" Shadow asked breathlessly.
Amy shrugged. "Well, not really, I didn't do a test or anything, it's just that I'm about two weeks late and this didn't happen since I was a teenager!" she said.
Sonic laughed happily, hugging Amy tightly. "It would be fantastic if you were! When will you know for sure?" he asked.
Amy told Shadow and Sonic about her plan to buy a pregnancy test together with them tonight which she then could do the next morning. Shadow and Sonic liked the idea.
...
Tomorrow.
Morning.
Amy was sitting on the edge of her bathtub, looking nervously at her watch on her left wrist, wearing a black oversized t-shirt which belonged to one of the 2 hedgehog brothers, though she didn't know which one. In 5 minutes Amy would find out whether she was really pregnant. It would be the longest five minutes of Amy's life.
Again and again, Amy's eyes wandered over to the test stick which was lying on the shelf next to the basin. It would be no use to look at it now. The result wouldn't be visible. Amy's thoughts were running wild, contemplating how her life had changed over the last few months, since she decided to join the website, since she met Shadow and Sonic. 4 minutes.
Amy could hear the 2 hedgehog brothers clattering with pans and dishes in the kitchen, talking excitedly, laughing. Shadow and Sonic had promised to make breakfast while Amy was doing the test, keeping themselves occupied. Maybe Amy should have joined Shadow and Sonic after peeing on the test stick but she felt that she needed some time alone with herself and her thoughts. 3 minutes.
Of course, Amy had read the instructions carefully before doing the test, over and over again, but since she hadn't anything else to do now, she read them once more, making sure to not miss something important, to be able to read the test results correctly when the time was up. 2 minutes.
Amy couldn't help being anxious. Amy had to be pregnant. Why else would Amy be missing her period? Admittedly, Amy's job had been very stressful recently, this could be another reason, her workload more than usual because she had to take over classes for a colleague on sick leave and then, some other colleagues were giving her a hard time... 1 minute.
Amy suddenly remembered the terrible woman in the drugstore the night before when they were buying the pregnancy test, the woman who was openly condemning her and her relationship with Shadow and Sonic. Maybe Shadow, Sonic, and Amy shouldn't have been that obvious, the 2 hedgehog brothers showing their affection for her publicly but that was what people in love did and she didn't want to hide what they had. Yes, their relationship was unconventional, but Shadow, Sonic, and Amy weren't hurting anyone. So it was nobody else's business! Time was up.
Amy took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the test stick, interestingly enough, she had placed it next to the little bag containing her menstrual cup, which she hopefully wouldn't need for quite a while then she stood up. With shaking hands, Amy lifted the test, looking at the control line and the test line.
"2 blue stripes. Positive. It's positive!" Amy thought.
Amy was overwhelmed with joy. Pressing her left hand to her mouth, Amy could feel her stomach doing somersaults. Yes, Amy was pregnant! Time to tell Shadow and Sonic.
So, pregnancy test in her right hand, bare foot, wearing nothing but her lavender panties and a black t-shirt, her quills a mess, Amy entered the kitchen.
Shadow and Sonic, only wearing boxers, stopped talking, looking expectantly at Amy.
Amy tried to keep her expression neutral, just lifting the pregnancy test. "It's positive. I'm pregnant!" she said.
Shadow immediately closed his eyes and smiled contently.
Sonic, however, rushed over to Amy, taking her into his arms, kissing her passionately. "That's so great, Amy, I'm on cloud 9, I could make love to you right now, just for this reason." he said.
Amy lifted an eyebrow. "Again?" she asked.
Shadow chuckled. "Yeah, give her a break. How many times did you 2 do it last night? 2? 3? I lost count after my turn, being too tired to..." he asked but was interrupted by Sonic.
"It was only 2 times... but I gave her 3 orgasms!" Sonic said.
While Sonic looked self-complacent at his older brother, Amy blushed and cleared her throat.
"Well, let's just say you showed me how much you love me and my then non-confirmed condition, Sonic. You know, I really enjoy making love to you, but I actually could use a break, like Shadow suggested..." Amy said.
Sonic frowned. "Did I tire you out, then? Or... did I even hurt you?" he asked, worried.
Amy smiled affectionately, kissing Sonic's nose. "No, you didn't hurt me. But I fear I'm lacking your stamina. And I'm a little bit sore. Last night was really enough for me!" she said.
Sonic closed his eyes, pressing his forehead to Amy's. "Well, it is also enough for me, then!" he said.
Sonic and Amy kissed. Afterwards, Amy reached out for Shadow with her right hand, embracing and kissing him as well.
Shadow and Amy remained like this for some time, holding each other close then Sonic.
"When will we find out whether it's a boy or a girl?" Sonic asked.
Shadow rolled his eyes. "Honestly, have you forgotten everything about mom's pregnancy with Manik?" he asked.
Sonic growled. "No, not everything. But some details might have slipped my mind." he said.
Shadow and Amy exchanged a look.
"It will take a while." Amy said.
Shadow nodded. "Yeah, in mom's case, the doctor only was certain that Manik would be a boy when she was 20 weeks pregnant!" he said.
Sonic's eyes widened. "Are you sure? Did it really take that long?" he asked.
Shadow nodded again, but Amy had other information.
"I've read somewhere that it is already possible in week 17. But, of course, sometimes it is even not possible for the doctors to tell it or they don't want to tell it. Why do you ask? Is it so important for you whether we are having a boy or a girl?" Amy asked.
Sonic looked sheepishly at Amy. "Well, I had a dream last night... Shadow, stop grinning! I did get some sleep after all... well, in this dream I saw a little boy..." he said.
Shadow however frowned. "A boy? Really? Aren't there already enough boys in our family? I think it's a girl this time. Rose, you are the mother. What do you think?" he asked.
Amy sighed then closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Finally a smile spread across Amy's face. "A girl." she said.
Amy didn't know why she felt like this, but somehow she was convinced that she would be having a little girl, with purple or dark quills and Sonic's emerald green eyes or Shadow's crimson red eyes and it didn't matter to her who actually is the father of her child was, knowing full well that Shadow would love Sonic's child like his own as Sonic would love Shadow's child like his own).
...
6 weeks later.
Station Square Elementary School.
Day Time.
Amy asked herself why they called it morning sickness when she experienced it almost all day long.
It was Amy's lunch break and she was emptying her stomach into the toilet pan again. Amy already had to vomit after getting up this morning and then, after she had arrived at school.
Amy was now about 8 weeks pregnant and this afternoon she would have her first ultrasound. Of course, when Amy made the appointment, she totally forgot about the staff meeting after classes, but since the doctor advised her to do the first ultrasound between week 6 and 8 after the positive pregnancy test she already went to her gynecologist for a blood test which confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, she was glad that it was possible for her to get this appointment on short notice.
Some of Amy's colleagues, however, were not. When Amy told the headmaster about her dilemma, he was very understanding, reassuring her after congratulating her that her and her baby's health were the first priority. So, Amy was allowed to not go to the staff meeting but to her doctor's appointment.
But Amy didn't want her colleagues to know about her pregnancy this early and some of them openly wondered why she didn't have to attend the meeting whereas they had to.
Amy didn't care.
Amy would meet Shadow and Sonic at the gynecologist since they wanted to be there as well. But before Amy could go to her car, she had to visit the bathroom again, retching dryly since her stomach was still empty she hadn't tried to eat again since breakfast, only drinking some herbal tea, fearing that she wouldn't be able to keep any food down.
And then, when Amy left the building, a surprise was in store for her.
"Sonic!" Amy thought.
Sonic was waiting in front of the building, his hands behind his back, grinning sneakily when he spotted Amy. "Hey, Amy!" he said, calling for Amy.
Amy hadn't been expecting him. "Hi, what are you doing here?" she asked, stopping in front of Sonic.
Sonic simply shrugged his shoulders then kissed Amy tenderly before pressing something into her hands.
Amy looked down to see that it was a small yellow box with a blue ribbon tied around it. Astonished, Amy smiled up at Sonic raising an eyebrow. "For me? Why?" she asked.
Sonic shrugged again, simply. "Open it. Then you'll know!" he said.
So, with shaking hands Amy untied the ribbon, lifting the top of the box. Inside, there was a small, light blue plush bunny.
"Oh, Sonic, that's so sweet." Amy said whispering, embracing Sonic tightly with both hands.
Sonic laughed. "I'm glad you like it! But actually it's for the little one. I asked in the toy shop whether they had something for newborns. They showed me several plushies. I liked the bunny the best." he said.
Amy broke the embrace, again looking up at Sonic with a raised eyebrow. "But why is it blue?" she asked.
Sonic smiled smugly at her. "Remember my dream? I'm sure it's a boy!" he asked.
Amy smiled back, before kissing Sonic. "Well, we'll see about that... Shadow and I feel that it's a girl... by the way, where is he?" she asked.
Sonic shrugged. "Maybe already waiting for us at the gynecologist, or in front of the building. I asked him to drop me here so that I can surprise you!" he said.
Amy closed the box again then she used her left hand to let her left fingers run through his spiky cobalt blue quills, untangling a few strands.
"That you accomplished indeed! But let's go now, I don't want to be late for my appointment. After all, it will be the first time we can see our baby!" Amy said.
Sonic kissed Amy one last time before taking her left hand into his right, leading her over to her car.
...
10 minutes later.
Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital.
Luckily, it was only a short drive and Sonic and Amy immediately found free parking space.
Shadow was indeed waiting for Sonic and Amy in front of the building. "Finally! Do you know how many women sent me suspicious or angry glances before going inside or after coming out because I'm standing here? They surely think I'm a creep and have bad intentions!" he asked.
Sonic rolled his eyes.
Amy smiled sympathetically at Shadow. "I'm sorry. But you could have just waited with Sonic..." she said.
Shadow shook his head. "No, I felt that it was something he had to do alone, being his idea to buy something and all, and besides, I don't have anything for you, so..." he said.
Amy embraced Shadow as well with her left hand. "It's okay. Though a pink counterpart to support our assumption would have been nice!" she said.
Shadow chuckled before kissing Amy. "Shall we go inside now?" he asked.
Amy nodded.
Shadow wrapped his right arm around Amy's shoulders while Sonic took her right hand with his left hand. Shadow, Sonic, and Amy entered the surgery like this, heading straight for the reception.
The brown cat female receptionist was on the phone, so they had to wait until Amy could announce that she was here for her appointment. Of course, Shadow, Sonic, and Amy had to go to the waiting room first and, of course, Shadow and Sonic were the only men there. When they sat down, Shadow on her right side and Sonic on her left side, Amy noticed that the other animal women, a young dark purple weasel mother with a dark purple weasel toddler girl on her lap and a green jackal teenager that 7 months pregnant, sent them curious glances.
Amy didn't care as she was so excited, smiling to herself, she absentmindedly placed her left hand on her still flat belly. Soon it would be as round as the green jackal teenager's.
"How far?" the young weasel mother asked.
Amy looked up. "Excuse me?" she asked.
The dark purple weasel smiled. "How far into the pregnancy are you?" she asked again.
Amy was surprised. "How do you know...?" she asked.
The dark purple weasel woman pointed to Amy's left hand with her right index finger, still placed on her lower abdomen. "The gesture, it's typical. And you have that certain glow about you..." she said.
Amy smiled back. "Oh, well, it must be about 8 weeks." she said.
The dark purple weasel woman just nodded. "Congratulations, then!" she said.
"Thank you." Amy said, happy about the fact that she didn't ask her about her relationship to Shadow, whose right arm was still wrapped around her shoulders, and Sonic, who was still holding her right hand.
Then the green jackal female teenager was called by a nurse and led to one of the different surgeries.
10 minutes later.
the young dark purple weasel mother was also called by the same nurse and was told to leave her child in the waiting room to play with the toys in one corner of the room, but looked unsure about this arrangement.
"We'll have an eye on him." Amy said.
The dark purple weasel woman smiled thankfully at Amy.
"See? That's another omen for our little one being a boy!" Sonic asked, triumphantly.
Shadow and Amy exchanged a look.
"Didn't know you were superstitious, little brother?" Shadow asked.
Sonic stuck out his tongue, but didn't respond.
Amy ignored Shadow and Sonic's banter, watching the dark purple weasel toddler as he was a sweet little thing, about 2 years old with grey-blue eyes, wearing a white shirt and blue shorts, building a small tower from toy blocks. Every time the tower reached a certain height, it collapsed, causing the little weasel boy to make a frustrated sound. Amy smiled. Soon Shadow, Sonic, and Amy could watch their own child building towers with toy blocks, no matter whether it would be a boy or a girl. Finally, Sonic took pity on the dark purple weasel boy, helping him to build the tower, and this time it didn't collapse on its own, only when the boy destroyed it on purpose laughing happily.
Then the dark purple weasel mother came back, thanking Shadow, Sonic, and Amy for watching over Tyler, that was the boy's name, and it was Amy's turn to be led to the surgery. The orange fox female nurse looked confused when both Shadow and Sonic followed Amy, but remained quiet.
Amy was thankful for that.
...
Scourge and Amy's Apartment.
Amy's Room.
Night Time.
It was late at night and the 3 of them were lying on Amy's bed, talking quietly, Sonic on her left and Shadow on her right, both of them caressing her naked, but still flat belly. Shadow and Sonic had made love to Amy earlier that evening, tenderly, carefully, both of them, minding the child she was carrying. The ultrasound image of their little one was lying on Amy's dark brown bedside table on the left side, together with the light blue plush bunny Sonic had given her for their child.
"I can't wait to see your middle expanding because our baby is growing inside you." Sonic said whispered and leaned down to press a kiss to Amy's stomach.
Amy groaned. "Oh, please, don't remind me of that! I remember pictures of my pregnant mother. She looked as if she had doubled her weight!" she said.
Shadow chuckled. "Well, if I remember correctly, she had 2 babies growing inside of her, you and your brother, didn't she?" he asked.
Amy nodded.
After pressing 1 final kiss to her abdomen, Sonic propped himself up on his right elbow so that he could look at Amy's face, despite it being half-dark in the room.
"You seldom talk about your mother and father or your childhood with them. Only about Scourge and yourself. Why?" Sonic asked.
Amy shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe because my happy childhood and the illusion of a perfect family ended the summer after Scourge and I turned 18." she said.
For a moment Shadow, Sonic, and Amy fell silent, Amy thinking about what once had been and the 2 hedgehog brothers were probably contemplating her confession.
"What happened?" Shadow asked in a calm and serious tone.
Amy sighed. "My parents sat me and Scourge down one evening when we came home, we had been on a shopping tour with our friends, Cream the Rabbit and Miles 'Tails' Prower. I remember it as if it happened yesterday, Cream wanted that her then boyfriend, now husband Tails, bought some new clothes to look more presentable, and for Scourge it was fun, of course, to choose one outfit after the other for his best friend. It was a warm and sunny day and we were having so much fun! After shopping we all went for an ice-cream, Cream's treat. I can tell you that for me and Scourge it was a perfect summer day." she said.
Amy paused and was grateful that the 2 hedgehog brothers didn't press her, just showing their support by Sonic kissing her left shoulder and Shadow kissing her stomach this time. Taking a deep breath, Amy continued.
"When we came home, we saw several suitcases and bags in the corridor and thought that maybe mother or father or both had to go on a business trip. But then we saw father's red-rimmed eyes and mother's guilty expression." Amy said as she felt tears welling up in her own eyes, but ignored them. "Mother explained that there had been a job offer in Paris, France, at a local art school and she didn't want to let that opportunity slip. After teaching arts at the local college in our town for years it must have sounded like paradise to her!" laughing humorlessly and could feel her unshed tears rolling down her cheeks, she had never cried about her mother leaving, then, unlike Scourge. Angrily, Amy wiped the tears away with both hands.
"But that wasn't the real reason, was it." Shadow said, taking Amy's right hand in his right hand, kissing her tears away from her right cheek. After a moment of hesitation, Sonic followed his example with Amy's left hand and on her left cheek.
Amy shook her head. "No, there was more to it. But I only found out later." she said as she couldn't prevent herself from sobbing.
"It's okay, you don't have to talk about it if it hurts you that much." Sonic said whispering, pressing her left hand compassionately.
Amy shook her head again. "I know. But I need to talk about it! I never have, you know, not with Scourge, nor with my friends..." she said.
Shadow put his right fingers under Amy's chin, forcing her gently to look at him. "Why don't you start from the beginning, hm? I always find it easier to do it like that." he asked.
After searching Shadow's eyes for a hidden meaning and not finding one, Amy nodded. In the meantime, Sonic had rested his head on Amy's chest, listening to her heartbeat, something he liked, as she knew. Shadow, however, gestured for Amy to put her head on his left shoulder, which she did. It was perfect like that. Shadow was someone to rely on, while Sonic never held back with his emotions. Maybe that was the reason why Amy couldn't be happy with her former boyfriends. Something had been missing but she didn't want to think about her past relationships.
The 2 hedgehog brothers needed an answer why Amy was who she was and to be honest, her family history had a lot to do with it. So Amy started from the beginning, like Shadow suggested.
"Our parents were quite young when Scourge and I were born, our mother just 18, our father only 16." Amy said.
Sonic gasped. "Wow, that's really young! How did they meet? And why did they have you so young?" he asked. Amy smiled. "Well, I think Scourge and I weren't really planned. Our parents met at a Halloween party, fell in love with each other and about 7 months and 2 weeks later my brother and I were born."
Shadow snorted. "About 7 months and 2 weeks? Doesn't a pregnancy normally last 9 months?" he asked.
Amy giggled. "Yes, but we were born prematurely, it had something to do with mother being so young and us being twins." she said then she became serious. "Of course, our grandfather, our father's father, didn't believe my mother, claimed that she had already been pregnant when she met my father, which, in turn made my grandmother, mother's mother, furious, mother had explained to her that she had been a virgin before she had met our father. In the end they agreed on a prenatal paternity test, a so called invasive test with the result that father's paternity was proven."
Shadow and Sonic looked at each other for a moment.
"That's an interesting story. What happened then?" Sonic asked.
Amy hesitated. "Grandfather demanded that father had to set his own wrongs right and threw him out with the insistence that he married our mother, which in turn made grandmother happy. So he moved in with mother, they got married and lived happily ever after... until Scourge and I turned 18."
Shadow looked sympathetically at Amy. "You said that your parents are not divorced but that your mother moved away? Did she fall in love with another man?" Amy shook her head. "No, she didn't, at least not then, she only met Miguel, her current partner, when she turned 40, 4 years after she had moved to Paris."
Sonic drew his eyebrows together. "But why did your parents split up then?" he asked.
Amy shrugged. "Mother hinted at father being... not faithful. But it wasn't with another woman, as far as I know. She was really vague. But I remember her saying that our father actually preferred men. But of course, since they had been that young when falling in love, he didn't really know about it then. And despite everything I'm sure that my father loved my mother then and still loves her now. But I think that mother never really had time to figure out what she wanted from life, being a mother and a wife at an age when other girls go to parties, do crazy things, are carefree. But she assured me that she never, not even for a second, regretted that she had us."
Sonic smiled impishly at Amy while kissing the spot above her heart, between her slightly bigger breasts. "And now your parents will become grandparents!" he said.
Amy smiled back, letting her left fingers run through Sonic's quills. "Yes they will as will your parents!" she said as she bit her lip, contemplating what she already knew about Shadow's and Sonic's parents.
Of course, Amy knew their mother, Aleena and she remembered what Aleena had told her about the 2 hedgehog brothers' fathers, which wasn't much, only that they had different fathers.
"So, Shadow, Sonic, your mother mentioned that you 2 don't have the same father. But who are your fathers?" Amy asked.
The 2 hedgehog brothers looked at each other for a moment.
"Well, we know their names and we have seen pictures, but we have never met them personally." Shadow said glancing at Sonic
Sonic shrugged. "When we registered on the website for sperm donors and co-parents and needed to know whether our fathers were genetically healthy, mom assured us that they were. And that was actually all we needed to know." he said.
"Living together with our uncles was enough for us, they really became father figures. And after uncle Rob's death, Charles totally took over that role." Shadow said.
Yes, Amy could imagine that, remembering the tall, dark and serious looking hedgehog man and the way he interacted not only with Shadow and Sonic but also little Manik and for some reason she felt content. Amy's baby would have an unconventional but loving family on both sides.
