Chapter 8: A Happy Ending
Fox awoke in a hospital bed with a loud shout, but then realized where he was. Surveying his surroundings, Fox took a sigh of relief when suddenly, the door opened and a doctor came in followed by Sonic. "So, how are we doing today, Commander?" The doctor said cheerfully. "That was some fight you must've had with Granger up there, Foxy." Sonic said. "After Granger fell, I went up looking for you and found you knocked out on the ground. We brought you here." Sonic continued with a small smile. Fox smiled back and nodded in agreement but his smile immediately turned to a frown and a worried look came upon Fox's face. "Krystal. Where's Krystal!? Is she alright? The baby? How about the baby?" Fox was panicking again. The doctor shushed him and spoke again. "Your wife is fine. She's been out and about preparing to welcome you home." Fox's worried look died away. "Don't worry about your kid Foxy. Granger's poison didn't make it that far into Krystal's system." Sonic replied.
With another sigh of relief, Fox laid back on his pillow and breathed slowly and steadily. "We should let him rest now." The doctor said as he pushed Sonic out. The door closed and Fox drifted back to sleep.
