When a rose buds

Chapter 10: On to us a child is born

Sonic's POV:

'Hold on Amy' I drive frantically through the forest that separates my thinking place from Station Square.

Sonic, Amy just went into labor and the baby's coming fast. You have to hurry…

Those words repeat in my mind as if Tails were here saying them over and over again. I've been driving for two hours now and I'm still so far away. At this rate I'll never make it in time, but I can't speed up because of all the innocent motorists and hikers.

"C'mon speed it up already!" I shout to the car ahead of me, but to no avail. They just continued to put along at the safe and annoying speed of thirty miles-per-hour.

'Great a no passing zone…'

Meanwhile at the hospital…

Amy's POV:

Ugh someone just shoot me now! This pain is unbearable. My hand grips the side of the bed hard enough to break my small fingers, but miraculously they stay intact. I dare not open my mouth either because if I did the most un-holy scream would burst through my lips along with a string of curses no one wants to hear.

"Amy dear, on a scale of one-to-ten where would you rank your pain?" I look to the elderly nurse beside me; stress showed in the wrinkles of her pale skin, her white-ish silver hair in disarray from all the running around the doctor makes her do. It should be a crime to push an old woman so hard. I let out a silent whimper to the woman and lift up eight fingers. Her brown eyes softened and she pushed the hair out of my face. She is about to say something further but the doctor cuts her off.

"Anna, she's seven centimeters get the anesthesiologist quickly" She lets out a small huff but reluctantly walks out of the room as fast as her bones would allow her.

Tears trickle from my eyes not only from the pain but from the absence of the father. Where's Sonic?

---------------------------

Sonic's POV:

I finally passed the car that slowed me down so much, but I really couldn't blame the elderly couple they didn't know. You know flying down a back street at over eighty miles-per-hour you really hope an unfortunate animal (in this case a deer) doesn't jump out in front of you. Today is not my day…

I slam my foot on the brake and turn the wheel.

Crash!

3 hours later…

Ow...bright lights hurt my eyes. Wait! I'm in pain all over. Where am I?

I sit up and look around. Mint green walls, machinery, and…Sally? What's she doing here? I thought we brok- oh that's right we broke up in my mind. Hehe…

"Oh thank God you're okay Sonic" Sally says in her overdramatic whine "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Take his fortune because you spent all yours" I look over to see Shadow with a sly smirk on his face, then back to Sally. Her face is beat red and she looks like she's ready to explode. Better stop this quick before Shadow kills her for saying Maria was poor or something like that.

"Um, Shadow?" He looks to me "Can Sally and I talk in private?"

He nods and leaves the room. A silence falls over the room this isn't gonna be easy.

"Sally, we need to talk."

"Oh I already know what you're going to say."

"Really? What am I going to say then?"

"That you picked me of course" She giggles leans closer for a kiss. I put my finger up her lips stopping her assault.

"Sally I think we should see other people."

"WHAT!" She screams and I shush her. I don't need the entire medical staff coming in here thinking I'm dying.

"It's nothing against you."

"Fine! I don't need you" She begins to walk out the door "Oh and have fun with your slut, Amy."

The door slams and I'm left alone in my room. I have the feeling I forgot something but what? And one thing's for sure Amy is not a slut. Wait! Amy that's what I forgot. Wow I'm an idiot.

I hop off my bed to be greeted by a sharp pain in my left leg. I ignore it and hobble out the door. Nurses and doctors alike all stare at me as if I'm an escaped convict as I continue my journey to the front desk. But my journey is cut short by a hand grabbing onto my shoulder.

"Sonic?" I turn to see Doctor Peterson with a confused expression on his face.

"Where is she Doc?"

"Follow me" We both walk (or in my case limp) down the long hallway. He led me to a door which I assumed was Amy's.

"She's in there" I nod and he walks off to help a woman who had fallen out of her wheelchair.

My hand rests on the metal knob. I hesitate then push the door open.

The room is identical to mine except for a stunned pink-haired girl in the bed.

"Oh my God, Sonic what happened?" Just now did I notice my head is wrapped in a bandage and random bandages speckle the rest of my body.

"Long story Ames" I look at her again and notice a small bundle wrapped in her bony arms. Slowly but surely I make my way across the room after all I already have enough bandages on my body I don't need another from tripping over something on the floor. I kneel beside Amy to get a better look at the bundle.

A beautiful blue-haired child with Amy's jade green eyes and creamy tan skin lay before me.

"Your daughter Sonic."

'She looks exactly like the girl from my dream…'

"What's her name?"

"Well, I was hoping you would help me pick one out" I look to her and nod.

1 hour later…

"Aubrey" I lift my head. That's the best one I've heard.

"I like it Ames."

"Well then her name is Aubrey"Amy says with a bright smile. She's faking it I can tell.

Silence.

"Is there something bothering you?" She stops playing with Aubrey's hair and looks to me.

"Yeah, where's Sally?"

"That's kind of what we need to talk about" Her face saddens.

"You chose her right?"

"N-no Ames I didn't chose her actually we broke up."

"Why?"

"Because Amy, I realized you and Aubrey need me, but there's another reason."

"What is it?"

I take a deep breathe and release it.

"I love you Ames" She gasps "And I'm sorry I didn't figure it out sooner."

"Oh, Sonic I love you too" Tears well up in her eyes and I hug her as tight as I can without crushing Aubrey. I sit back down in the chair and look to her. She takes a quick glance at out daughter then back to me.

"Do you want to hold her?"

"Yeah, I'd love to…"
