(I don't own Sonic or Sega)
Months had passed by as progression on the chaos emeralds was still very slow, within the span of six more months, Tails had only found one other chaos emerald. "So we're now up to four chaos emeralds." Sonic said holding the chaos emerald. "I'm sorry, I can't find them any faster." Tails said about to cry. "No, you're doing a great job so far, I mean for one person to do this and constantly being surrounded by snakes, you're doing great." Sonic said putting his left hand on Tails's shoulder. "Thanks Sonic." Tails replied. "No problem buddy." Sonic said. "Hey I need everyone to come in here." Sonic yelled. Cream and Amy came from the kitchen making food that Tails caught while searching for the chaos emeralds, and Knuckles came downstairs holding Rouge who looked like she was going to give birth anytime.
"So what's going on?" Knuckles asked as he was sitting on the couch with Rouge. "We found another chaos emerald." Sonic replied. "That's great Tails!" Cream said running up to Tails and kissing him on the cheek. "Thanks Cream." Tails replied. "Tails, while you were searching, did you happen to find any sign of Orochi?" Sonic asked. Tails just thought for a moment trying to remember if he saw anything. "The only thing I saw was a huge cluster of snakes around Angel Island, but nothing else." "And we haven't been hearing that roar much either." Amy added. "Do you think Orochi knows we're looking for him?" Knuckles asked. "I don't know, all I know is that we need to keep looking for the chaos emeralds and come up with a plan to stop him." Sonic said to everyone. Knuckles just turned to Rouge for a moment and sighed. "Looks like the baby's gonna be born into this hell." Knuckles said feeling the baby in Rouge's stomach. "Don't worry I know It'll be alright as long as I have you." Rouge said. Knuckles and Rouge went back upstairs, and Tails went to go take a shower and Cream and Amy just stayed in the living room with Sonic. "Cream can you finish dinner for us?" Amy asked. "Sure, i'd love too." Cream went into the kitchen to finish dinner leaving Amy with Sonic. "Why did you want Cream to go finish dinner?" Sonic asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Amy replied hugging Sonic. I want to spend more time with you." Amy said rubbing her hand on his cheek. "Oh, I see." Sonic replied. Sonic broke the hug and sat down on the couch waving his index finger to signal Amy to come. "Well if you want me, come and get me." Amy ran over to the couch and jumped onto Sonic almost causing the couch to break. "Wow, I guess i've gotten fatter." "Nonsense, you still have a beautiful body." Sonic replied causing Amy to blush. Amy sat on Sonic's lap and held onto the back of his neck. "You know even though we're fighting for our survival, I still want to be trapped here with you." Amy said. Sonic just blushed for a moment and started to go in for a kiss. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Sonic said just before kissing her. The kiss seemed to last for a long time, but they were enjoying every minute of it. "I would've never guess this is what would bring us together." Amy said holding onto Sonic. "I wouldn't have guessed it either." Sonic replied. "Sonic do you think we could." "Dinner's ready!" Cream shouted interrupting Amy. "Oh well i'll tell you later." Amy finished as they went to the dining room.
Everyone came to the table and started to eat. "Ugh, snake again." Knuckles complained. "Well it's either that or starve." Rouge snapped. "Oh!" Rouge said in surprise holding her stomach. "What's wrong?" Knuckles asked. "Nothing, the baby's just moving around a lot." Rouge replied still holding her stomach. "Well maybe that means it'll be here soon." Cream said cheerfully. "Yeah, maybe." Rouge replied. Cream sat down next to Tails and Amy sat down next to Sonic, as everyone started to eat. "So Tails are you going to go look again tomorrow?" Cream asked. "No i'm taking a break tomorrow." Tails replied. "Everyone needs their days off." Sonic said to Tails. "No kidding." Tails replied. Everyone finished up their plates and started to clean up, but something unannounced happens. "Ah!" Rouge shouted. "What's wrong?" Knuckles asked very worried. "The baby's coming!" Rouge shouted in pain. "The baby's coming!" Everyone yelled.
"But I thought we had a few more weeks?" Knuckles shouted. "Well we don't, it's happening now." Rouge looked like she was in serious pain as Sonic and Knuckles tried to get her to the room where she and Knuckles had been staying. "Tails get a towel and a washcloth!" Sonic shouted. "Amy get some hot water!" Knuckles shouted. "Got it." They both replied getting the supplies. Sonic and Knuckles got Rouge into the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Tails and Amy quickly came in with the supplies, Sonic then took the towel and laid it under Rouge where the baby would come out while Knuckles took the washcloth and dipped it in the hot water and put it on Rouge's head. "We need one more thing." Sonic said to Tails. "What?" Tails asked. "A pair of scissors for you know what." Tails nodded and rushed downstairs. "Cream I need you to get the blanket you made." Knuckles said, Cream went downstairs to go get the blanket. "Sonic." Sonic turned to Knuckles who was holding Rouge's hand. "If you don't mind, we'd like to be alone." Sonic nodded and stepped outside and closed the door. A second later Tails and Cream came upstairs with the scissors and blanket, and went inside and gave it to Knuckles, Tails and Cream then came back outside and waited with Sonic and Amy.
About an hour had passed and they could hear the yelling from inside from time to time. "Do you think they're ok in there?" Amy asked. "I'm sure they're fine." Sonic replied. After about another twenty minutes the yelling had stopped and it was quiet. "I wonder what's going on in there?" Cream asked. About ten minutes later Knuckles had opened the door and everyone crowded around him. "Would you like to meet our new son?" Knuckles asked. Amy and Cream ran inside to see the new baby while Sonic and Tails were just slowly walking up there with Knuckles, to see the newborn baby. They came up to see Rouge holding a tiny red echidna with light blue eyes and little sharp knuckles just like his father. "He's adorable." Tails awed at the cute baby echidna. "So are you still naming him?" "Yes, his name is still Tsume." Rouge said interrupting Cream. "Just think Knucklehead, this little guy right here is gonna grow up to be like you someday." Sonic said patting Knuckles on the back. "Yeah, your right." Knuckles replied as he bent down on his knees to see his son. "I'm sorry you had to be born in a horrible time like this, but I promise you I will make everything better." Knuckles started to rub his hand on Tsume's face as he was falling asleep. "I think it's time to go to bed." Rouge still cradling Tsume in her arms. "Alright we'll leave you three to sleep." Sonic said. Everyone went outside the room and started to get ready for bed. Tails and Cream had already gone downstairs and Sonic and Amy were heading upstairs to their room. "So Amy what were you going to ask me?" Sonic asked. "Oh, I forgot, but i'm sure it was nothing really." Sonic just shrugged as he got in the bed. "Oh well, maybe it'll come back to you." Amy then got in the bed and hugged Sonic. "Goodnight." Amy said. "Goodnight." Sonic replied. When Sonic laid down Amy was looking as him in deep regret, and thought to herself, "I remember what I wanted to tell you, but I don't know if I should.
Will Amy find the courage to tell Sonic?
Sonic: You did it again!
Me: You still can't get me. Thinks to myself, but I really have to pee, anyway I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the story.
