I stared at Amy. She looked like she was going to start crying. Sonic whispered something, and she started to calm down. I wish I knew what was going on. It was sweet that Amy and Sonic allowed me to stay in their home. My thoughts were interrupted by a crash in the other room and two figures running out. Tails was holding something.

"It's a negative energy source!" We all just stared at him, except for Boomer of course.

"We can get back at Eggman. All we have to do is," he started. He took the small emerald and flipped it over, revealing a small switch. "Plant this to make it look real, turn the shine on." He flipped the switch and made the emerald glow brightly. Tails finished along with him.

"Turn it to negative and drain Eggman's ship!" They high fived, and the rest of us nodded. I shrugged.

"Seems good enough. That would put a damper on his plans long enough for us to kick some ass!" Sonic couldn't help but high five me.

"Alright, boys, that's enough," Aphrodite said casually.

"Yeah, we have to go. Sam and Dash are going to be home from practice." And with that we all got up to leave. There was a honk outside.

"Oh, that's my dad. I'll see you guys later." She ran out and got in the car with her dad. Tails and Boomer just waved and continued with their geeky stuff.

I looked at the surprising sight. I thought the room would have a pinball machine and mini bar, but instead there was a crib and rocking chair. I looked carefully at the inscription on the white crib.

For our little boy

For our little boy, who was their little boy? It must have been Dash, the small blue kid that she called her son. Amy knocked on the white door. She slowly opened it. "Isn't this room a little…white?" She chuckled a little.

"Yeah, it was when I didn't know the gender, and white goes with everything. Except after Labor Day." She said it uncheerfully. I looked at her.

"This room wasn't Dash's, was it." She hesitated, but then shook her head no. She took a deep breath and sat on the chair and I sat on a stool that went with a regular piano.

"I was going to have a small boy, twist." I looked at her meaningfully. I didn't like what was going to come next, I just knew it. "And some idiot ran a red light and crashed into me. It was too much." Her voice started cracking. "He was gone right before my eyes." She then just broke down. I quickly acted and put my arms around her. She just cried into me. She was so warm. I could hold her forever. I then looked over at the piano.

I cracked my knuckles and looked at the sheet music there. It had said "Lover's Lullaby." It seemed easy enough. It was like a piano-like machine Eggman had on the ship. I had to keep myself entertained there.

She looked up after she heard me play. She must have known the song. I decided to ask her while I never looked up from the keys. She sat next to me on the stool.

"It was…the song my mother sang to me every night." She wanted to sing, I could feel it. I nodded to give her the go ahead.

The sun is shining
the clouds are fading
the stars kissing your cheek
Letting the birds sing

The days are young
the days are bright
Keeping your heart
Beat perfect time
to our Lover's Lullaby

She smiled. She sung wonderfully. "I didn't know you played piano." I decided to slingshot back.

"I didn't know you sung." I reached over her to hit the last note, and she surprised me by putting her head against my shoulder.

"Touché." She looked up at me with her emerald eyes. Her eyes were just a lighter shade of Sonic's. There was an opening of the door. Two figures, who were surprised, looked at me.

"Who's he," Samantha said disgustingly. Wasn't she sweet? She was wearing a yellow tee shirt and a black and yellow checkered skirt. She was wearing leggings and black flats.

"He's going to be staying with us for a while." Amy got up and Sam and Dash hugged her tightly.

"We love you!" They said as they squeezed her. What exactly was love? I heard of it, but I never really loved anybody. Amy pried them off her and they left. She looked at me.

"What?" She said with a chuckle.

"What's love?" She looked startled.

"I thought you knew, but love is…well. There is when you care about someone so much and you never want to let them go. If you love them really well, you show it by kisses." I nodded and she left the room. "By the way, I'll try getting you a bed. For now, you have the rocking chair or the crib." She smiled and I watched her small curvy body leave the room. I heard my stomach growl. I decided I would go and get some fruit loops.

The kitchen was really dark, but that could be because it was 9 pm. I turned on the light and was surprised by a blue hedgehog. He was sitting there casually, with a smirk on his face.

"Hey bud, you hungry." He picked up a chili dog. "Don't tell Amy." I blinked and walked over to the fridge. He put his hand to the door making it slam closed.

"Listen, Amy is my girl, and I worked too damn hard to get her to be mine. If you do anything to make her leave me…You'll pay. Watch yourself." And he threw the remains of the chili dog away and went upstairs to his room.

. After 1 hour of being in his house, I became number one on Sonic's hit list. "Dammit," I said, putting my head against the fridge.
