Chapter 4. Bath Time!
It slowly turned to nightfall as the sun began to set and the moon slowly rose up from the earth's side greeting the stars. Sonic was busy, inside the house as usual, trying his best to keep a good close eye on the little 'terrorist' who bit him. It felt like the bite mark was so hard, he still felt the stinging pain...and it had been a few hours ago.
He sat at the kitchen table this time looking over the newspaper he had found lying in a woven straw basket where Amy usually keeps her old papers in. He figured to keep a little busy by reading the funnies, or just reading himself beating ole Beardy Mc Eggbutt. He chuckled remembering hearing the name from some kids he saw walking down the sidewalk back from school. Kids have a good sense of humor.
His thoughts were stopped when he heard a wooden door being open. Sonic looked up and turned behind him, "Hey, Amy-What the hell!?" he shouted having his eyes pop out like he saw a ghost.
There stood a pink hedgehog with a two-piece red and white polka-dotted bathing suit and a lighter pink towel wrapped around her waist. Her quills were rolled up and pinned to her head with a flowery pin. She looked at her blue friend confused, "What? You don't like it?" she asked.
Sonic felt a blush coming, but did his very best to hide it, "Uh...well...no." he stammered, "I wanna know...why your dressed like that?" Amy smiled at him.
"Oh, well, I was going to get Shadow from the play pen I kept just in case after I was turned into a baby myself, and he and I will take a bath together." she replied.
Green eyes were much wider after hearing that, "What!?" he shouted jumping up from his seat, "B-But you can't!".
The pink rose crossed her arms and glared at him, "And why not?" she asked.
Sonic tried his best to keep his cool knowing she was get much more angrier if he kept going, "Well...he's...you can't just...your not allowed to bathe with him!" he shouted.
"Excuse me, Sonic T. Hedgehog, but he is MY boyfriend!" Amy shouted back much louder taking a few steps up to him, "And you have no athority of who I can bathe with! I can take a bath with him, even in this state! He's still Shadow, understand!?".
He wobbled a bit from fear as she crept closer to him. His back was next to the side of the table, hands grasped it tightly. Amy glared so hard, it made him cringe in fear inside. She did have a good way of telling people to back off. Must'ave got the 'power' from when she yelled at a few men who tried to pick up their friend, Cream. They were scared stiff...
Finally, his head slowly nodded feeling himself gulp. With that, Amy's scary face and angered tone had come to a stop then was replaced by a gentle smile and a loving smooth voice, "Thank you, Sonic." she smiled.
Turning a heel, she walked off with her head held high and humming a happy tune. Sonic stared at her form as she disappeared from the other side of the living room wall. He couldn't help, but feel a little attracted to her angered charms. A girl like that is pretty hard to find. Sonic quickly groaned and shook the thoughts out of his head, then slowly sat down in his seat and leaned his head forward staring at the grayish paper and black lettering.
She really didn't mean to be that harsh to him, but the way he was like that, made Amy furious. First the time when he mistake Shadow as an 'alien hedgehog', now this. He really has it in to make her angry. But that's something she learnt to move on and live with.
Amy came into the living room and saw the play pen one the side of the room. There she saw her 'boyfriend', Shadow moving up on his hind legs and standing slightly holding onto the top bars with his tiny hands. He saw her and immediately started to coo and smile. She loved it that he possibly still remembered her. Sure a baby's brain is so tiny that they might not remember much after being grown up, but for Shadow, he was a very special hedgehog to Amy. The way he always snuggles to her and how he laughs and coos at her, it was like he really knew who Amy was right off the bat.
She smiled and walked over to the play pen and knelt down, "Hello, Shaddy." she cooed, "Wanna take a bathy with me?".
Baby Shadow only gurgled and cooed once more for her answer. Which was a 'yes', "Good. Now let's get you ready." with a quick move, she picked him up and carried him with her to the bathroom. Inside was a pretty large room with a large jacuuzi and a shower on the other side. A marbled sink was there with a large circled mirror. After Shadow moved in with her, he offered to help renovate the house and she was able to get a 'dream bathroom'.
She closed and locked the door, then walked over to the jacuuzi and placed the baby carefully on the floor. The little life form looked up at her confused as to why she let him go. Then the sound of loud, running water was heard making his ears twitch. It was loud enough to make the poor thing whimper, "Ick..." he sniffed.
Amy was a little too preoccupied to get the water to be a good temp for her and a baby. She didn't realize that Shadow crawled away from her, but between the sink and toilet. She stood up and stretched from bending a little, too far, "Phew...that's it. Now Shaddy, it's time to-" she was cut off seeing the baby not there where she placed him, "Shaddy? Shaddy?".
She turned the water off since it was just over a few inches. Perfect for Baby Shadow to be in. When the water only dripped to the large pool, she was able to hear a few whimpers, "Shaddy..?" she got on her knees and crawled over to where he was at.
Amy smiled seeing him trying to hide, but was a little sad seeing his scared little face, "Ohh...poor thing. You don't like the noise?" she asked moving closer to him.
Baby Shadow shook a little. It was cute how even the Ultimate Life Form was scared of a loud running water. Carefully taking him out of the 'hiding spot' she held him close as he shivered in her hold. His tiny face was buried in soft chest whimpering slightly.
She soothed him gently by carefully brushing his quills. He liked it. Even as an adult, Shadow loved it when Amy smoothed out his quills. He would always lay his head on her lap, or chest. While hearing her soft heart beat, she would gently brush through his quills sub doing him slumber. Baby Shadow wasn't at all ready to sleep, but purred quietly from the loving gestures.
Amy giggled and kissed his head. She undid his diaper and took off her towel. Then both he, and she were carefully settled down in the tub. Amy was careful to go in first. She held an extra hand on the side to ease her way down so she was sitting perfectly. Then she placed the baby on her lap letting the warm water his his legs.
Baby Shadow jumped slightly from the touch. As a baby, he didn't even touch liquid like this ever since he was turned so it was surprising to him. Amy kept a good eye on him like a hawk holding him with one arm around his tiny waist and the other pouring water over his little tummy. The baby life form began to enjoy the water even more. So much that he started smacking his hands on the water making them splash out of the tub and on her.
"Hey!" Amy gasped shielding her eyes from the water drops.
Baby Shadow continued to giggle happily as he played in the water. He didn't wanna stop this fun no matter what. The pink flower smiled seeing how happy he is. If only the blue blur, himself, would be easy to get into the water...
