(I don't own Sonic or Sega)
The next morning Sonic woke up later than everyone else and stumbled down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. "Woah, Sonic be careful!" Tails shouted. "I'm fine." Sonic replied stumbling down the steps almost losing his balance. "Here let me help you." Amy said as she got up and went up the steps to help Sonic. "Thanks Amy." Sonic wrapped his arm around Amy's shoulder and held onto the railing with his other arm. "Always trying to do stuff on your own, that's just like you." Amy said smiling. Sonic was still in pain from the fight, but he knew he had to get out of bed. "So what about Orochi's whereabouts?" Sonic asked as he was trying to sit down. "Orochi will occasionally roam around the area, but there's no telling when or where he is right now." Knuckles explained. "No problem, I can outrun that monster anytime." Sonic tried to give a thumbs up but his body was in so much pain that he just held his hand on his chest. "That explains why he almost killed you." Tails jokingly said. Sonic slammed his fists on the table in anger. "I will kill the evil beast, no matter what, agh!" Sonic kept holding in his pain trying to make a good impression for everyone. A few minutes later, Rouge and Cream came downstairs from giving Tsume his bath. "Oh, Sonic you're ok." Cream said giving Sonic a light hug. "So how are you feeling?" Rouge asked while holding Tsume in a towel. "I could be better." Sonic replied. "Well that's nice, i'm going to go feed Tsume." Rouge went downstairs to go feed Tsume while everyone else started eating.
"So Amy how are you feeling?" Sonic asked really worried. "Oh, i'm fine really, it's still early so I don't feel anything yet." Sonic nodded and turned to eat his breakfast. "While you were out cold, Knuckles and I went searching for food, and we found a town that's about a day's hike for us that has lots of food and water." Tails said excitingly. "Tails I want you to do me a favor." Sonic said. Tails looked and saw that Sonic had a serious look in his eyes. "Yes, what is it?" "I need you to use the chaos emeralds to help speed up the healing" Tails looked at Sonic in shock at what he'd just said. "Are you crazy, you know what that'll do to you!" "I only need to to be where I don't feel a lot of pain." Tails looked at Sonic while Amy, Knuckles, and Cream just looked in confusion. "Why is it bad for Sonic?" Cream asked. "If you use the chaos emeralds, you can increase the healing rate of your body, however doing this can decrease your lifespan greatly." Everyone was shocked to hear that Sonic wanted to do this. "We can't just sit around, we need to do something." Tails just looked at Sonic and thought about his decision for a minute. "I'll only ask once, Are you sure about this?" "Yes, i'm absolutely sure." Sonic replied. Tails got up and got one of the chaos emeralds and removed Sonic's bandage. When the bandages were off, it revealed an ugly black and red scar, Tails then placed the chaos emerald on the wound and Sonic used it to heal his wound. Sonic got up to see that his wound looked slightly better, and he could move freely again. "That's much better." Sonic said. "Now to go look for some chaos emeralds." "Woah wait a minute." Amy halted. "You can't go out until we know for sure it's safe." Amy grabbed Sonic by his arm and dragged him to the living room. "Amy come on, you know i'll be fine." Amy lost it and started yelling and crying at Sonic. "No you won't!" "You almost died out there, and I don't want to lose you!" Amy buried her head in Sonic's chest still crying very heavily. "I can't lose you!" "Not now when I need you the most!"
Amy kept on crying and crying as Sonic felt horrible for almost leaving her. "Amy, everything's alright, i'll tell you what, if it scares you that much, i'll stay here with you for a while." Everyone just looked at them very awkwardly until Tails got up and went downstairs. "I'll leave you be for now." Tails went downstairs completely forgetting that Rouge was nursing. "Ah!" Rouge screamed as Tails came upstairs looking extremely red and embarrassed. "I'm going to the shower instead." Tails said hurrying upstairs. Cream and Knuckles started laughing as Rouge came upstairs carrying Tsume with her. "Rouge I think we should go now." Knuckles said. Rouge turned to see Sonic holding Amy who was still crying. "Alright let's go." As they went upstairs, Cream just got up and went downstairs without saying a word leaving Sonic and Amy all alone.
"Sonic?" Amy said still crying. Sonic turned and looked at Amy showing full love and care in his eyes. "Yes?" "I'm sorry I got so upset." Amy's tears started to dry up and she started to regain control. "No, i'm the one who should be apologizing, I wanted to go out without thinking about how you would feel, I was being selfish." Amy just held on to Sonic closely and never let go. "I know I said I needed you, but now it's not I don't need you, we need you." Amy put her hand over her stomach as Sonic looked and nodded in agreement. "You're right, he or she needs me too." Sonic stared at Amy's stomach thinking about what it would be like to be a father. "So Sonic, what do you want?" Sonic looked up at Amy in confusion. "What do you mean?" Sonic asked. Amy just laughed and smiled. "Do I have to spell it out for you?" "I'm asking if you want a boy or a girl?" "Oh, of course she was asking that." Sonic thought to himself. "Well honestly, I don't care as long he or she can run as fast as me." Sonic replied. "But if it didn't run as fast as you, would you still love it?" Amy asked. "Yes, Amy I would. Time slowly passed as Sonic and Amy sat on the couch together. "ROOOOOAR!" "Orochi!" Sonic yelled jumping off the couch and over to the window. Sonic saw Orochi roaming through the lands obliterating life trying to grow back and cursing the land. "I swear, one day I will kill you, not for my sake, but for the sake of my family."
