Sorry about lack of updates, major Writers Block. That and Black/White 2 came out.

Chapter 8: Three Hedgehogs and Baby Harry Part 1

Queen Aleena: Most children leave their parents eventually. For most mothers, this happens when the children are grown and no longer need them. They are the lucky ones.

It's been two months since Harry had rejoined his siblings. Currently, they where fighting a small army of SWATBots.

Harry twirled Banryu in his hand an inch away using magic. Then he grabbed onto it and slashed from the side. "Dragon Hammer!" He shouted and a bursting ball of flames attacked a small group of SWATs. They exploded immediately. "Nice." He grinned. Then swung Banryu from his left to behind him as another came up and sliced it in half. Oil spewing from the machine as if it where blood. "Not bad. Not bad at all. Too bad Rudy couldn't see this." He missed his mentor. But his place was with his sibs. Though Rudy and Shiela had always told him he had a place in the Outback Sector with their group as well. What he didn't see, was Sleet sneaking up behing him wit ha syringe; A syringe with a very special substance Robotnik had designed.

Harry muffle shouted as Sleet grabbed him from behind. "You!" He said from behind Sleet's hand trying to bite him to get free.

"Sorry about this son." Sleet apologized in advance before injecting the serum through his neck. Harry jerked and thrashed as the serum went to work doing its job and regressing his age. Sleet shhed the boy in pain and held him as he shrunk from a twelve year old, to a ten year old, to age seven, age four, and finally...Sleet held an infant Harry in his arms. The baby obviously not knowing what was going on and looking up at Sleet innocently. Possibly feeling kinship with the wolf because he did not cry right away.

"Uh, Sleet, what now?" Dingo asked stupidly. "We need to get out of here before the triplets find us.

"Your right Dingo." Sleet said with a smirk at the mut. "But we can't let Baby Harry stay cold can we?"

"Aww no Sleet come o-" ZAP! Dingo transformed into a baby basket complete with blankies. Harry giggled and clapped his hands.

"Aww see, he likes it." Sleet said as he tucked little Harry in. "And now to play the waiting game." Sleet picked up the grumbling Dingo Basket as Baby Harry started dozing off despite the loud noises.

"One of these days Sleet..." The basket grumbled as they left in a dark alley.

Later...

"Everyone okay?" Sonic asked after making sure no SWATBots where around.

"I think I broke a nail!": Sonia whined.

"Manic rolled his eyes. "Yeah bro, we're find."

"Wait a Mobius minute. We're missing a certain someone."

Sonia noticed it too and stopped thinking about what Salon was nearest to look around. "There!" She pointed to Harry's clothes and Banryu lying in the midst of several dozen Bots.

"Woah, looks like Lil' Bro got more than any of us.

"But where is he?"

"Maybe he went for a swim?" Manic suggested. "There's a lake nearby."

"Without making sure we're all okay? I'm not buyin' it." The blue hedgehog said firmly. "Something's wrong."

He went over and tried lifting Banryu. "MMMmmmnngh. GRRRrrrrr. Man this thing weigh's a ton!" Sonic said. "No wonder it does a lot of damage.

Sonia smiled and walked over to Banryu. Picking it up with ease as if it was a feather. "Light as a feather for me."

"From now on, you do the heavy lifting." Sonic insisted.

It was now five hours after they fought the SWATBots. The triplets where worried sick.

"Come on Harry. Be quiet for Uncle Dingo." Dingo pleaded with the wailing, hungry infant that he was holding. He saw the triplets van pull up and stopped rocking and hid his facial features.

"He wouldn't just go off on his own. He'd tell us." Sonia said confidently.

"Maybe he-" Sonic started as they exited their van at their current hide out when they heard it. A baby crying.

"Uh, guys, I think we found him." Manic said as they all stared down at a small human baby with Harry's messy hair. But without his lightning scar.

"Wait, it could be a trap by Butnik. He could be a BABYBot." Sonic pointed out as he stopped Sonia who was about to pick their little brother up.

"No Sonic. He's got the medallion. No one can take these off except us." Sonia pointed out Harry's Royal Hedgehog medallion. "Robotnik can't fake that." She put her medallion near Harry's and they glowed like normal."

"So what the heck happened?" Sonic asked his siblings as Sonia took the infant Harry in her arms and Manic picked up the Dingo Basket as they moved inside.

Later, Harry had been fed, changed, and burped. But he still wouldn't stop crying.

"Ugh, there's nothing I hate more than a fussing baby." Sonic said as he covered his ears in pain.

"Yeah sis, what's wrong with him?"

"He could be scared." Sonia suggested as she held their brother. "He doesn't know us. He's probably terrified. Or maybe...here hold him. I'm going to get something." She held out Harry to Manic.

"Uh uh. No way." Manic protested. But found his arms full of baby.

"I'm coming with you." Sonic said as he ran from the still whimpering Harry.

Suddenly, Harry stopped crying as Manic held him.

"Well look at that. Heh, he likes me." Manic said as Harry made cute baby noises at him. "Hey lil' guy. Its your big bro Manic."

When Sonia and Sonic got back, Harry was banging a single drumstick on Manic's drum set.

"The little guy's a natural. Don't know why ma gave him a guitar like Sonic." Manic said with a smile. "He likes me. Soon as you guys left he stopped crying. So what'd you find?"

"This." Sonia said. Holding up a compact disc. "Harry listens to it when he feels down. It always makes him smile. Sometimes it puts him right to sleep. Its from mother."

"Ma? She sent him a disc? Of what?"

"Don't know." Sonic said. "We always respected his privacy. But this letter says its a lullaby she used to sing to him after we where all asleep."

Sonia walked over to their computer station and inserted the disc. A single green line appeared.

"There's a saying old, says that love is bliiiind." Their mother's voice sang as the green line matched her voice tones.

"Mother." Sonia gasped.

"Still we're often told, seek and ye shall fiiiind. So I'm going to seek a certain lad I haaaad."

Baby Harry started yawning sleepily. Making sleepy baby noises as Manic handed him to Sonic who put him back in the Dingo Basket.

"Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet. He's the big affair I cannot forget."

The siblings all watched over Harry as he closed his eyes slowly and picked them back up again only to have them droop again sleepily.

"Only man I ever think of with regreeeet."

Soon after Harry fell asleep. The triplet's all phwewed

"Well that was relatively painless." Sonic said as they all left the room after the song finished and Harry didn't wake up. "So all we gotta do when its bedtime for him is play that song."

"Looks like it." Manic said as he joined him. "He's out like a rock. Snooze City."

They didn't see Dingo peeking on them as they planned their time with Baby Harry.

"We don't know how long he'll be like this." Sonia said. "We'll need diapers, blankies, a binky, baby clothes, formula-"

"Woah there sis, let's write it all down first." Sonic stopped her as she started to leave the hideout.

"Sounds like their on the right track. Good idea about teaching them responsibility your Majesty." Dingo whispered. Harry yawned and turned over in Dingo and he gulped. Deciding not to risk getting caught, he hurried back to the spot he was before the triplets could get back.

To Be Continued...

The lullaby is Someone To Watch Over Me by the Girshwin duo. But I've imagined Aleena's singing voice to be like Hailey's from American Dad since that episode where she sang in Roger's lounge. Hope this episode is going well! Sorry for lack of updates, major WB.
