2:10 p.m.

As the bell rang for the end of school, everyone, and everyone bolts out of their classrooms to wherever they're supposed to be after school. Sonic exits out of the building and sees Lisa and Sonia on the curb waiting for him.

"Sonia! Aunt Lisa!" Sonic screams as he runs over to his family.

"Hi, Sonic!" Lisa cries, "How was school?"

"It was amazing," the blue hedgehog says.

The hedgehogs hop into Lisa's white BMW and they drive off. Sonic, being the curious boy he is, asks, "Aunt Lisa, where are we going?"

"We...are going to the hospital to see your new sibling!" the orange hedgehog happily answers.

Sonic and Sonia suddenly cheer and start bouncing around in their booster seats. This is the big moment; they get to see their brand new sibling. The new Mc'Newman. They get to see if the baby is a boy or a girl.

The Mc'Newman trio arrive at the Station Square Memorial Hospital, which is a huge building, with about 35 floors. Anyways, the three hedgehogs walk inside and to the front counter. Lisa asks the woman, who's a human, behind the counter, "Do you know where Aleena Mc'Newman is?"

"Yeah," Sonia says, "My mommy had a baby."

The woman looks up Aleena's name and room on her computer, "She's in Room 405; on the 25th floor."

"Thank you," Lisa says as she and her niece and nephew walk to a nearby elevator.


A few minutes later...

The three hedgehogs finally reach the 25th floor and walk to Room 405, only to be stopped by a human doctor.

"I'm so sorry," the doctor apologizes to the hedgehogs, "but I'm afraid Aleena's baby is missing."

"MISSING?!" the three hedgehogs shout.

Just then, Jacob, who just happens to be looking forward to seeing his new child again, is walking towards his family and the doctor.

"Who's missing?" Sonic and Sonia's dad want to know.


Another few minutes later...

The four hedgehogs and the doctor are in a waiting room, sitting down in multiple chairs (with the exception of the doctor) getting ready to talk about the situation.

Finally, the doctor begins speaking, "The baby went missing around 11:30 this morning when Aleena was asleep and we were busy running tests. But when I came to-"

"Was the baby a girl?" Sonia interrupts, wanting to know.

"Little girl, I'm trying to inform you about something very urgent," the doctor says, then gets back to the big topic, "As I was saying-"

Sonia interrupts again, "But I want the baby to be a girl!"

"Sonia, let him finish," Jacob says to the three-year-old, who beings to pout.

The doctor waits for Jacob and Sonia to finish and finally gets back on track, "Anyways... When I came to check on Aleena, there was no sign of the baby. We looked everywhere! The baby needs to stay in the hospital by this Thursday; December 2."

"Why?" Sonic wants to know. He must be really worried about his new sibling in order to ask this.

The doctor answers the blue hedgehog, "Because the baby needs the special care it needs. In this case, if the baby doesn't get special care, then it will die."

Sonic is heartbroken at this: His new sibling might die?! He and Sonia have been waiting nine months for their new brother/sister, and now they find out that he/she is missing and possibly won't live?!

Sonia, known for being off-topic for the third time today, pleads to the doctor, "Please make the baby a girl!"

The doctor tells her in a loud voice, "The baby's a boy!" and walks out of the room.

Lisa turns to Sonia, who looks like she's about to cry, and tells her, "Don't worry about it, Sonia. He just said that because he didn't want to hear your voice."

Jacob, now ready to spazz out, asks his orange sister, "Why would you tell her that?!"

Lisa answers to her brother, "Because it's true!"

No it's not, Lisa. It's not true. In fact, the baby is-


In Dr. Eggman's underground base...

"A boy!" Robot cheers as he holds the baby hedgehog under his arms. The baby looks just like Jacob, with his green fur/quills and sky blue eyes, and even has a pink muzzle, belly, and arms.

"You're just so cute!" Robot coos at the baby, "You look just like your father!"

Eggman overhears this and says, "Robot, make sure you keep that disgusting living being out of my sight!"

"Yes, doctor," Robot responds back as he takes the baby to Robot's room.

Yes...of course these two kidnapped the baby. It's so obvious! What could happen to poor baby Mc'Newman?

And that covers Chapter 3! Just to let you know in future stories, I'm not good at writing hospital stories. That's pretty much it. What did you think of this chapter? What do you think of the story so far? What do you think is going to happen next? Let me know and I'll see you in Chapter 4!
