(A/N): Erica had her baby! He's so cute! I saw her today and she looks in tip-top shape. She told me to tell you guys hi and enjoy the chapter!
"Rafael…please say something." Alana said rubbing her eyes with the heel of her palm.
"We should go see a doctor." Rafael said emotionlessly. He fazed both of them out of their apartment and in front of a hospital. They walked into the hospital in silence as Rafael began to fill out a form. He turned in the form and got another one about the pregnancy. "Who should I mark as the father?" He gritted through his teeth as he gripped the pen tighter in his hand.
"Rafael…" Alana said as Rafael threw the pen and clipboard down on the ground.
"I need some air." Rafael muttered before storming out of the hospital. He placed his hands on the rail outside as he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"So…what's the issue?" Gabe asked appearing in front of Rafael.
"Alana's pregnant and she doesn't know who the father is." Rafael said as he griped the rail tighter.
"I'm sorry." Gabe said as Rafael growled and punched the rail. "Would you relax?! You can find out when the baby is born." Gabe said as Rafael pulled at his hair.
"I can't wait that long!" Rafael exclaimed as he slammed his fists on the wall behind him. He leaned his head on the hard wall as he sighed. "I was so happy when she told me. Of course I felt a little guilty for putting her in that position, but we were going to have a kid together. But now, I don't even know if the child is mine." Rafael said as Gabe floated over to his side.
"I know how you feel right now, but she's in there right now alone. The child may not be yours, but you could raise it. Just look at Julian and Luca." Gabe said as Rafael dropped his fists from the wall and looked at his ancestor. "She needs Rafael. More than ever." Gabe said as Rafael sighed. Gabe disappeared as Rafael walked back into the hospital.
"Alana Delgado." Rafael said to the receptionist when he noticed Alana wasn't in the waiting room.
"Who are you?" She asked politely.
"Rafael Andrews." He answered as she looked at the sheet.
"Ah, the father. Room 219." She said as Rafael smiled slightly. He took the elevator to the second floor and walked to her examination room. He opened the door slowly to see Alana in a hospital gown sitting on the table. He walked in as Alana smiled at him. Rafael took her hand in his and kissed it.
"I'm going to be here for you, sunshine." Rafael said as Alana smiled at him.
"It seems to be a case of Bronchitis." Ginger said as Lauren lied in her bed looking sicker than a dog. "You'll probably have to stay in bed for some days." Ginger said sitting up slowly as she kept a hand on her swollen belly.
"No!" Lauren croaked out before groaning. 'I hate this!' Lauren projected to Hydro's and Ginger's minds. 'What about my classes?' Lauren thought as she looked at Lauren.
"It's the weekend. You don't have any." Ginger said as Lauren crossed her arms and huffed.
"Don't worry, I'll stay with you." Hydro said as Lauren shook her head.
'No way! I don't want you to get sick.' Lauren thought as Hydro sighed. 'Can't you heal me?' Lauren thought as she looked over at Ginger.
"I did. Usually you'd be in bed for a week or two not three days." Ginger said as Lauren groaned.
'I hate being sick!' Lauren exclaimed.
"I head she can't talk!" Shawn said as she burst into the room. Lauren glared at her brother as he walked into the room with Bolt. "Ah, sweet silence." Shawn said as Ginger shook her head.
'I'll fuck up your mind! Can't talk!? I'll chat it up in your head!' Lauren yelled in Shawn's head as he put a hand on his head.
"Ow, ok…jeez." Shawn said as Lauren smirked. Lauren heard a thought and looked over to Bolt who was staring out of the window.
'You saw Renegade.' Lauren commented as Bolt nodded his head, but remained staring out of the window. 'Wow…he knew?! How in the hell did he know?!' Lauren exclaimed as Bolt glared at her.
'I would appreciate it if you didn't yell in my head.' Bolt said as Lauren shrugged her shoulders. 'I'm not sure. He just said he knew from the beginning.' Bolt said as Lauren looked at her confused.
"Hello? We're still in the room!" Shawn exclaimed as Bolt and Lauren rolled their eyes. "What were you guys talking about?" Shawn asked.
"Nothing." Lauren croaked as she smiled at her brother. Shawn looked at her suspiciously before looking over at Bolt.
"It wasn't anything important. She just told me to have Chrissy get her some ice cream." Bolt said as Shawn raised his eyebrow.
"Ok…" Shawn said not fully convinced. Rafael and Alana walked back to the apartment and were quickly ambushed by everybody.
"You're pregnant?!"
"Is it Renegade's?!"
"Is it Rafael's?!"
"Are you alright?!" Everybody yelled at once as Rafael initiated his shield pushing everybody away from them and shutting them up.
"Relax…yes, she is pregnant. We don't know who the father is." Rafael said as Alana squeezed his hand.
"The doctor says I'm a month pregnant and told me I can find out the sex, but I didn't want to know." Alana said. (Ok, I know it's kind of off, but they're animals and their pregnancies are shorter)
"God! Ginger didn't want to and now you! Man, I want to know what the babies are going to be!" Black said as Derek rolled her eyes.
"Um, speaking of babies…my water broke-e." Ginger said clutching her stomach and leaning against the wall. Everybody went into a panic as they started to call numbers and get her stuff ready.
"Oh my God! Call a cab! Where's the bag!? She's going into labor people! We need to get to the hospital!" Derek yelled as everybody ran around him. Ginger giggled slightly as she watched him panic. The gang made it to the hospital in record time and Ginger was in her room as Derek waited by her side. She was dilated four centimeters and had a few hours before she could give birth.
"I called Mom and Dad. They should be here soon. They're waiting for Shadow to get back so they can transport here." Lauren croaked as Ginger looked at her sister confused.
"Why are you here? You're sick." Ginger said as Derek made sure she kept her sickness away from the baby.
"I'm not missing my niece's or nephew's birth!" Lauren exclaimed as loudly as she could before going into a coughing fit.
"Please…sit down and rest." Ginger said as Lauren nodded and walked out of the room.
"Sweetie!" Luna exclaimed as she and Reese ran into the room. "Are you ok? How are you feeling?" Luna asked pushing her daughter's hair back.
"I'm fine, mom!" She yelled as she went through a contraction. She grabbed Reese's hand and squeezed as he fell to the floor in pain.
"My hand!" He exclaimed holding it in pain when Ginger let go.
"Sorry…" Ginger said as she leaned back on her bed.
"It's ok…I'm good." Reese said as he hissed in pain. Everybody was in the waiting room with some of the parents. Not everybody could come for many different reasons. Shadow, Amy, Sonic, Midnight, Todd, and Jonah – Lazarus' dad.
"How are you feeling Alana?" Amy asked as she sat down next to the hedgehog.
"A lot of things I guess…" She said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"I've been told about the recent events." Amy said as Alana sighed. "I know you feel guilty, but you have a baby on the way and from what I heard I'm pretty sure it's Rafael's." Amy whispered as Alana looked at her confused.
"How?" Alana asked.
"Just my hunch." Amy said patting her knee.
"Guys! They're transferring Ginger to the delivery room!" Shawn exclaimed as everybody stood up excitedly.
"Dude…what happened to your hand?" Flash asked looking at Shawn's bandaged hand.
"Ginger kind of…squeezed it too hard." Shawn said holding his hand.
"AHHH!" Ginger yelled as she pushed with all her strength. She was gripping Derek's hand tightly as he yelled in pain.
"GET THE FUCKING BABY OUT OF HER!" Derek screamed as Ginger squeezed his hand again.
"DEREK! Please look!" Ginger screamed letting go of his hand. Derek stood up and walked over to where the doctor was. He quickly put his hand over his mouth and ran over to the sink. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Ginger screamed as she pushed again.
"I'm ok!" He yelled before hurling again.
"One more push Mrs. Stanson." The doctor instructed as Ginger screamed and pushed her baby out. She collapsed on the bed as the doctor handed the crying baby to a nurse. "It's a girl." The doctor said as Ginger smiled. The nurse placed the baby in Derek's arms before he walked back over to Ginger. The baby was a pinkish-peach color with shining emerald eyes. She had hedgehog ears and a fox tail with a black tip.
"She's so beautiful." Ginger said as Derek put her in Ginger's arms.
"Ma'am we need to take you to recovery." The nurse said as she and someone else pushed her out of the room with her baby. Derek walked out to the waiting room wearing his scrubs as he smiled brightly.
"It's a girl. I'm a dad!" He exclaimed as everybody cheered and ambushed him. Reese avoided the mob and quietly snuck into Ginger's room. Ginger was holding her baby girl as Reese smiled at her.
"She's beautiful." Reese said as Ginger smiled at her father. "God…I'm a grandfather. Man! I'm old!" He exclaimed as Ginger rolled her eyes.
"You're in your forties dad. Relax." Ginger said as Reese chuckled.
"Do you have a name for her yet?" Reese asked as he looked down at his granddaughter.
"Elizabeth Nicole Stanson." Ginger said as Reese smiled.
"And I shall call her Lizzi-Izzy!" Reese exclaimed as Ginger raised her eyebrow. "Fine, just Lizzi." Reese huffed as Ginger smiled.
"Am I interrupting?" Derek asked as he walked in.
"Of course not pops!" Reese said as Derek rolled his eyes.
"Hey there." Derek said holding Lizzi in his arms.
"OH!! She's so cute!" Pamilyn exclaimed as her brother smiled before doing a double take.
"When did you get here?" Derek asked as Pamilyn rolled her eyes.
"I got here as soon as Lilac called. I was not going to miss seeing my niece." Pamilyn said as she poked Lizzi's nose. Everybody had a chance to hold and see the little hedge-fox before leaving the new family alone.
"That's going to be us one day." Rafael said as he noticed Alana watching them through the window. Alana smiled up at him and held his hand. Everybody had left except Lazarus, Todd, AJ, Jonah, Alana, Rafael, Tsunami, and of course the Stanson and Romaro families. Lazarus walked back into the waiting room from the cafeteria. He was getting a drink for his dad and Tsunami who were "bonding".
"Dude! There you are!" AJ exclaimed as he skidded to a stop in front of Lazarus.
"What?" Lazarus asked looking at his distraught friend.
"Jonah…Tsunami…Dad…Ethan…" AJ blabbered. Lazarus' eyes turned into slits when he heard the name Ethan. He slapped his friend in the face and grabbed his shoulders.
"What. Did. Ethan. Do?" Lazarus gritted through his teeth.
"He kidnapped my dad, your dad, and…Tsunami." AJ said as Lazarus pushed him away and growled.
"When?!" He yelled as AJ sighed.
"A few minutes ago. He said something about locking them away and throwing away the key." AJ said rubbing the back of his neck. Lazarus started to pace the hallway.
"Ethan is sly, that much is clear. He would say something cryptic like that, but usually it would be the obvious. He knows I would over-think it, but not this time. AJ, if someone said that phrase what would you think?" Lazarus asked whipped towards his friend.
"Well…I guess prison, but would Ethan really be-"AJ was cut off when Lazarus grabbed his arm and started to drag him out of the hospital.
"C'mon. We're going to jail. Call Bolt." Lazarus directed as they got on their motorcycles.
"Why?" AJ asked through his helmet.
"We're going to need someone to faze us in." Lazarus said as he revved his engine and peeled out of the parking lot. AJ followed him after he called Bolt. All three guys met a mile or so outside the prison.
"You know, when you called me saying we're going to jail I thought that was your stupid humor asking me to play monopoly, not actually go to a prison!" Bolt exclaimed as AJ rolled his eyes.
"If your parents showed up and got kidnapped then maybe you wouldn't be complaining." AJ said as Bolt removed him helmet.
"What's the plan?" Bolt asked as he stood by Lazarus.
"You're going to faze us in and we'll ambush three guards. We're going to disguise ourselves as guards and find my dad, Todd, and Tsunami." Lazarus said as Bolt nodded.
"What if they're not even here?" AJ asked as Lazarus looked at the huge building with determination.
"They're here. I can feel it." Lazarus said.
"Do you have to be creepy about it?" Bolt asked as Lazarus rolled his eyes. "C'mon, grab my arms." Bolt said as he stuck his arms out. AJ and Lazarus both latched on before Bolt took off. When he approached the prison AJ used his powers and made a rock ramp come up. Bolt ran up it and fazed through the building. Luckily they landed in an empty cell. Bolt peeked his head through the window on the door and saw a guard coming their way. Bolt fazed back and smirked. The guard was whistling when Bolt fazed his arms through the door and grabbed the guard. He froze his mouth shut and electrocuted him knocking him unconscious.
"Well, that was easy." Bolt said buttoning up his shirt. "Two more to go." Bolt said as he smirked. AJ knocked out his guard by flicking a rock at his head and Lazarus pushed a pressure point in his guard's neck. They all fazed the guards outside of the prison and out of the cell. They decided to split up and meet back while the prisoners had lunch. Lazarus casually walked through the halls glancing into each cell to see if any face looked familiar. He soon realized he was in an all Mobius prison. There wasn't a single human in sight. A bell rang through the prison and all the gates opened.
'Free time.' Lazarus thought to himself as all the prisoners walked out to the yard. He stood at the walkway on one of the towers and looked over the group of criminals. His eyes frantically searched for Todd, Tsunami, or Jonah.
"Did you find anyone?" Bolt asked as he and AJ stood next to him.
"No, but I'm looking." Lazarus said scanning the crowd.
"There! By the wall." AJ exclaimed pointing towards the wall. Lazarus whipped his head towards the direction he was pointing to and gasped. He saw both his father and girl with Todd. He smiled when the bell rang again.
"Everybody back to your cells!" A guard yelled as everybody slowly made their way towards cells.
"C'mon!" Bolt exclaimed as they all ran back inside. Lazarus and Bolt were walking down the cells and stopped in front of Tsunami's. Lazarus walked into her cell as she jumped off her bed.
"What the hell do you want?" She growled as Lazarus pulled his hat off his eyes. "Lazi?" Tsunami said in disbelief.
"I came here to save you." Lazarus said as Tsunami hugged him. She pulled away and kissed him passionately. Outside Bolt saw a guard heading towards him. He knocked on the door and the couple broke apart.
"Move aside. I need to get into that cell." A guard said as Bolt rubbed the back of his neck.
"Um…but it's lights out." Bolt said as the guard scoffed.
"Back away." He said as Bolt grabbed his arm and twisted it back. "What are you doing?!" He exclaimed as Lazarus snuck out of the cell. "Guard! Guard! I think this man is an imposter!" The guard exclaimed. Lazarus turned around and tackled Bolt to the ground.
"Don't worry. I'll come up with something." Lazarus whispered as he handcuffed Bolt and dragged him away. Bolt was changed into the prison uniform and locked in a cell. The door opened and Ethan walked in with a sinister smile.
"Ah, Solari. Nice to see you." He sneered as Bolt glared at him.
"Too bad I can't say the same." Bolt growled.
"I believe Lazi is here as well." Ethan said as Bolt remained silent. "By your silence I'm taking that is a yes. I don't even need your answer. I saw you, Lazarus, and AJ beat up the guards and steal the uniforms." Ethan accused as Bolt raised his eyebrow.
"How did you get them in jail?" Bolt asked as he glared at the tiger.
"My father is the warden. It's not very hard." Ethan smirked as Bolt growled at him. "There's no escaping Solari. No one has ever escaped this prison and no one will." Ethan said before leaving his cell. AJ entered Bolt's cell an hour after Ethan left.
"Dude…" AJ said as Bolt rolled his eyes.
"What's the plan on getting out of here? Ethan says it's impossible, but it's clear he doesn't know us." Bolt said as AJ looked at him confused.
"Couldn't you just faze us through a wall?" AJ asked.
"They placed a fucking power-stopping bracelet on me." Bolt said holding up his wrist.
"Don't worry! Lazarus came up a plan if this had happen. We're going to drive away." AJ said as Bolt looked at him like he was stupid.
"How are we going to do that? They're not going to let four criminals just drive out of the prison!" Bolt exclaimed as AJ smirked.
"They are if we have a captive." AJ said as Bolt looked at him confused. "We're going to kidnap the warden." AJ said as Bolt smirked.
"Oh yeah…" Bolt said as they exchanged the GH. When the next break happened the group gathered together.
"Took you guys long enough!" Todd exclaimed as AJ rolled his eyes.
"You were only here for four hours!" AJ exclaimed as Todd huffed.
"What's your plan?" Jonah asked his son.
"We need to start a prison riot first." Lazarus said as Bolt smirked.
"Easy enough." Bolt said as he walked up to a big gorilla with a scar. He kicked him in the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" He asked rubbing the back of his head.
"Aren't you mad?" Bolt asked.
"Nah, it's cool." The gorilla said as Lazarus slapped his forehead.
"Forget this." Jonah said as he grabbed a small rat and started throwing him up and down.
"PRISON RIOT!" He yelled as everybody started beating each other up. He threw the rat to the side and returned to the group.
"Ok, now we need to kidnap the warden." Lazarus said.
"How do we do that?" Bolt asked looking at the panther.
"No idea." Lazarus said as Bolt groaned.
"I thought you thought this through!" Bolt yelled as Lazarus shrugged his shoulders.
"I didn't really think about the kidnapping part." Lazarus said as AJ tapped his shoulder. "What?" Lazarus said.
"I think your girlfriend is doing it already." AJ said as they guys looked over to see Tsunami jumping on prisoners head before running up the wall. She flipped through the air and grabbed a rail. She flipped over the side of the wall and kicked a guard in the face. She punched another and knocked two together. She grabbed the warden by the collar and smirked.
"You wouldn't." He said as she ripped off the bandana she was wearing and tied it around his mouth.
"I got the warden!" She exclaimed as the guys panted from running all the way up there.
"That's some girl." Jonah said as Lazarus smiled.
"Tell me about it." Lazarus said as they dragged him into the car. They all piled into the car as Lazarus took the wheel. They sped towards the gate where a wall of guards were with guns aimed at them. Tsunami pushed the warden's head out of the window. The guards dropped their guns and cleared the way. Once they were out of the prison they pushed the warden out of the car.
"Your record was just broken." Bolt said before they sped away.
(A/N): Yeah…weird chapter. That's what happens from writer's block.
