Chapter 50: Reunited
Amy looked at the doorway and saw Sonic himself. "Sonic…?"
"Hmph…" Mr. Rose muttered, glaring at the blue hedgehog.
Sonic heard his name and looked at the pink hedgehog. "Amy…" He whispered. "What are you doing here?"
"Well...I came to find the kids."
"So did I."
"Well let me call them, they're watching some cartoons." Amy said. "Kids, come here!" She called out.
Soon Spines and Alice came from the other room after stuffing their faces with cookies...their eyes widened when they saw their father Sonic.
"D-dad?!" Spines said while Alice stayed silent.
"Kids, I-er your moms were worried about you! I just kept cool like I always do." Sonic lied, receiving a glare from Amy.
"Same ol' dad…" Spines chuckled. Sonic turned his attention from his son to his daughter, who had a glare on her face.
"Hey Alice, cat got your tongue?" Sonic joked.
"If you're here to bring me back, I'm not going!" Alice yelled. "I don't wanna be married to someone I don't love!" She protested. "Daddy….please...how could you do this? How could you let mom do this?"
Hearing those words made Sonic feel hurt. He shook his head, denying it. "No no...Alice...I don't want you to marry a guy you don't love...honestly...that's one of the greatest fears any father could have….I just didn't want to upset your mother." He said, placing his hands on her shoulders while facing his daughter.
"Daddy please...you have to do something…" Alice begged, Sonic listened to those words...remembering that little girl Alice was when she cried for help. Sonic placed his hands to his side...which turned into fists.
"You know what?...you're not gonna do the arranged marriage...I will set this whole thing straight." Sonic said confidently, leading Alice to give her father a big hug.
Everyone except for Mr. Rose cheered for Sonic, the white hedgehog just smirked and crossed his arms.
"Maybe you're not so bad, Sonic…" Mr. Rose thought.
Mrs. Rose tapped her daughter's shoulder to get her attention. "You know...you raised such a fine young man...right on your own...you raised him.." She said.
Amy's eyes widened...looking at how happy Spines looked. "I-I did...I raised him…" She whispered before crying. Mrs. Rose hugged her daughter while Amy cried for joy in her arms.
"M-mom, you okay?!" Spines asked.
"Amy..relax..we found the kids." Sonic reassured.
"No...its just...I feel accomplished as a mother.." Amy said. "I raised our son…"
