Chapter 11: Sonic and Amy

I was eighteen years old and still staying with my parents. That day, my mother told me to fetch some apples for the pie my mother was making. My cousin King Rob O' Hedge, King of Mercia, came over to along with his family to have a family feast. After returning home with a bucket filled with apples..I saw him..King Sonic the Hedgehog talking to my cousin at the table.

Amy dropped her bucket of apples with her jade eyes widened at what she saw...her only and only guy she ever loved was there..in her house.

The two male hedgehogs turned around and saw the pink hedgehog. "Hello there, cousin. Is everything alright, you look like you've seen a ghost." Rob commented.

"Yeah…" she answered.

"Hey..Amy.." King Sonic said nervously.

"Why is he here, Rob?" Amy asked, as her hurt feelings returned.

Suddenly a red female hedgehog with blue eyes and a fair muzzle walked in with a cheery smile. "Oh, sweetie. King Sonic came in and he'll be joining us for dinner!" she cheered. The woman was Amy's mother, Dizzy Rose.

"..." Amy just stared, not saying one word to him. Suddenly Mari-An came into the living room holding Jon, an echidna and the son of Mari-An and Rob.

"Dinner's ready everyone!" she said.

The group headed into the wooden dining room. A white hedgehog, who resembled Sonic, with jade green eyes and a light tanned muzzle was at the end of the table. He was Amy's father.

"So..allow me to bless this wonderful meal prepared by my wife and niece-in law." said Amy's father.

"Oh John, you're making me blush!" Amy's mother squealed.

"Well Dizzy, I gotta give credit where credit is due." he replied before giving a glare at Sonic for breaking his daughter's heart.

After my father blessed the food...we ate..but my temper got the best of me..I started yelling at Sonic during dinner..I couldn't stand him...I hated him at the time….after that I left the table to head to a lake, furious. Sonic went after me..trying to apologize..after becoming calm..we soon had a talk. We laughed and joked and recalled all those moments...it brought back my loving feelings for him..I felt like that kid who would chase after Sonic..except he wasn't going anywhere.

"So...now what happened?" Spines asked.

"We shared a kiss, son...then we slept together at the lake…" Amy admitted. Spines and Alice's eyes widened. "And that's how I was pregnant with you, dear." she added.

Spines felt his world going blank..his eyes felt wide open and his life was slowly changing. Not only did he and Alice share the same father..but he was never in his life.

"Mom..,why isn't he in my life?" Spines asked.

"Because..I never told him that I was pregnant.." Amy admitted. "I did something wrong..I slept with a married man... I didn't want him to know...I wanted his life to go back to the way it was...with him and his wife..as much as I hated it..it was the right thing to do."

"I see…" Spines replied.

Suddenly the bell rang, which meant that the food was ready. " Ooh, be right back!" Amy said. Spines said no word while Alice looked at him filled with concern in her eyes.

"Spines…?"

The food soon came and Alice ate immediately. She was too hungry to feel anything, while Spines felt sick to his stomach. Amy looked at her son worried.

"Sweetie..?"

"Mom..I just want another cola." Spines said. Amy nodded to fetch a refill. Alice was continuing to eat her food.

"Aren't you shocked? We have the same fathers and we're….half brother and sister…" Spines said.

Alice shrugged. "It's whatever, besides I have a brother..even though he's not my ideal." she deadpanned.

"Hey I'm the one who helped you out with Drake!" Spines snapped. "Anyways...think I could meet...my father?

The chipmunk thought about it. "Well..thing is my dad is busy..I'll have to let him know..if he'd listen." she replied.

"Please try." Spines begged. "I'll do it anytime!"

"You're really desperate to meet him…" Alice commented. "Tell ya what, come to my castle on Sunday. You can meet our father while I'm at the mall with Drake." she suggested.

"Sounds good, but you're going home?" he asked.

Alice yawned after eating all that food. "Yep, parents are probably worried...although I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't notice."

"Parents sound like busy folk huh." Spines commented.

"Well they are the king and queen...nothing major." she replied sarcastically.

"Geez, just making an observation." the hedgehog replied.

Eventually Amy returned to the table with Spines's cola refill and Alice's apple pie slice. "You're lucky my manager isn't here." the pink hedgehog said with a giggle. "So what are you two doing this weekend?" Amy asked.

"Well mom..I'm probably going to be working out." Spines lied. Amy nodded.

"I'm just going to the mall." Alice said casually.

"Ah, sounds like a good time!" Amy cheered. "So Alice, would you like anything else?"

"Er..no thanks, lady." the chipmunk replied. Amy left, leaving the two alone again.

"So..since you're my brother….wanna split the pie..?" she asked nervously. Alice never shared anything living in royalty, so to share with a commoner wasn't like her.

Spines chuckled and grabbed a fork. "Sure, that's rather nice of ya."

"Just don't eat most of it!" Alice ordered. "Or else…"

The hedgehog smirked. "I'll remember that, thanks."
