Sonic moaned to himself.

"Uh! I can't believe there's so much work! I didn't know Kings had
so much stress. Food plans; land expansions; treaties; worrying about other
countries - there is just so much stress."
Sonic had been in Camelot for about four months, and instead of all the
things he thought he would be doing - saving the day, going on an adventure,
saving the damsel. Well, he instead found himself inside the castle doing a
whole lot of paper work and sending knights to do the
jobs he wanted them to do, to say the very least he was very annoyed, and
tedious. Very tedious. Sonic looked out of the throne room windows and looked
down to see all the people of Camelot go their merry way.

"It's for them." Sonic said as he turned back to his desk ready to get
back to work.

As Sonic started working again he couldn't help but think about his world
that he once lived in. Sonic had been offered by Merlina to return to his
world, but being the helpful hedgehog he was he decided to stay. Merlina then
told him she could make a clone of him. All his emotions, memories,
personality, and goodness, all made put into this clone. Merlina told him she
could only do it if he was in her world. So here he stayed, while the other
Sonic was sent back to his world. He of course forgave Merlina after
everything that she did to the world.

'I'm such a sucker... I mean I haven't done everything that needs to be
done, yet,' Sonic thought to himself as he thought of all the new plains he
could rule, feeling the air between his quills, hearing the crunch of grass
underneath his shoes…

Sonic shook his head as he started to berate himself. 'I can't believe I
thought about running from my duty again!'
Then their was a knock on the throne room door.
Come in!" Sonic yelled as he got ready to speak to the person on the other
side of the door.

"King Arthur," the servant named Elizabeth said as Sonic slapped his
forehead as King Arthur was said. "It is time for dinner in the main
hall."

"Thanks, Elizabeth." Sonic said as he walked out of the throne room
followed by the bright orange bunny. "Please, next time just call me

Sonic."

"Yes, King Sonic," she replied quickly.
Sonic sighed, as he began to shake his head. Sonic took his time going to
the dining hall as he took pleasure in looking at the many drapes, pictures,
rugs, and windows as he and Elizabeth slowly walked towards the dining hall.
When Sonic got to the dining hall he saw Gawain, Lancelot, Merlina and a lot
of other people, but he didn't see Percival.

"Thanks for the escort, Elizabeth," he commented, "You can go now."

"Thank thee well, Sir Sonic!" Elizabeth said as she then hurriedly left
the dining hall, and left Sonic to talk to Lancelot, Gawain, and Merlina.

Sonic made his way to the table and everything started to get quiet.

"King Sonic! It is an honor for you to be here tonight!" Gawain
exclaimed. Sonic knew he should be used to formalities by now, but at least
Gawain wasn't calling him King Arthur.

"Could you quit calling me Sir Sonic? It's kind of annoying."
Gawain began to answer but was cut off by Merlina.

"Sonic, how has thee been faring?"

"I've been better," he stated. Lancelot was still quiet just staring
at them during the conversation.

"So where's Percival? I haven't seen her in a while."
Sonic wanted to talk to her about that night all those months ago but he had
too much work, and he thought she might be avoiding him.

"Percival hasn't been felling good as of late. She had food order to
her
room, and does not want visitors." Lancelot told Sonic.

"Thank you." Sonic replied as he started to eat with everyone else.
Later, after the diner was over he planned to go talk to Percival.

Percival was sobbing quietly. She was pregnant, and she didn't know
if she should tell King Sonic or not. She knew people would say she was
trying to seduce the King to gain power, but she wanted to tell him so bad.
Percival began to cry more as she ate the food that was brought in for her.
She was always so hungry nowadays. A bulge was starting to form in her
stomach and she had to wear large noble clothes to hide it.

"Why did we go so far?" She asked herself again, and then continued her
sobbing. Then she suddenly heard a knocking on her door.

---

"That was some good food," Sonic said happily to himself as he made his
way through the castle towards Percival's room. As Sonic was going through
the halls he still couldn't decide on what to say to her. What was he
supposed to tell her? That it was a big mistake? Pretend it never happened?

He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice he was in front of
Percival's room. To be honest he had neAver been in her room before, so he
took a very deep breath and slowly knocked on the door, and after about three
minutes it opened to reveal Percival. Percival looked like she had been
crying a whole lot and she was wearing noble clothes that were a little too
big for her.

"Can I come in? I've wanted to talk to you for a while." Sonic asked
sheepishly.

"Yes, King Sonic, you may come in." Percival said with worry evident in
her voice.

As Sonic was about to go in he started to stare at her again, she was just so
beautiful… Sonic then shook those thoughts out of his head and
walked inside Percival's room. He heard the door close and got ready for his
conversation with her. Sonic turned to see Percival looking at him

nervously.

"What do you want to talk about?" She asked with a worried expression
written on her face.

"Well, we haven't talked all that much since that night." A tiny blush
appeared on his face.

"King Sonic, I regret to say but thou was too busy."

"For the past four months?"

"Yes," she said with a quiet voice.

"Is there anything I should know about?" Sonic asked, worried about how
nervous Percival was.

That's when Percival just burst into tears.

"You know why! Why do you think i'm wearing bigger clothes? Why do you
think I've been avoiding you? Why do you think I've been eating so much!
I'm
pregnant!"

After Sonic heard that he felt confused. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have loved to hear it. Maybe I would
have liked to be with you," he said quietly.

"What would the others think? They would think I want power trying to
seduce
their king," she muttered, looking away slightly.

"Who cares what others think? I had sex with you because I wanted to be
with you. I didn't realise it at first, but after our fight when I was
staring at you I wanted YOU, I-I love you!"

"But the others…" Percival started.

"I don't care!" Sonic yelled, holding back a joyful laugh as he jammed
his lips against hers. He put his hands on her stomach making sure not to hurt
the child.

"I'm sorry…" Percival said before she gave into Sonic's kissing.

Sonic pushed Percival onto her bed, and Percival knew what was about to

happen.

As Sonic opened his eyes he immediately felt the warmth between his arms.
Percival was laying there asleep. Sonic rubbed his hands across her belly,
feeling pride. Sonic then realised he hadn't done everthing he wanted to do
here. He also wanted to spend his life with Percival. Sonic continues rubbing
her belly until she began to stir.

"Good morning, King Sonic," Percival said to him when she was fully
awake.

"Morning, Percival. Tell me how well you slept." Sonic whispered in her
ear quietly.

"Very good." She purred back to him "Sonic, do you really want me?"
Percival asked getting back her worried tone.

"More than anything I ever wanted." Sonic started to kiss her neck. "I
was wondering, if later today you wanted to go to the lake with me? Don't
worry about Caliburn I left him at the blacksmith."

"Yes thou would like that much. Do... do you think we should start planning
our future together?" Percival asked.

"Definitely." Sonic replied in a reassuring voice, he then grinned
teasingly, "I love you, Queen Percival." He said letting her know without
a doubt he was going to marry her one day.
Percival hesitated, taking this in, then twitched the tiniest of smiles.

"I love you too, King Sonic."

After that, they lay together, feeling comfortable with one another in the
calm silence
