Chapter 52: Finalizing the Divorce
Amy woke up the next morning, finding herself on her bed, naked while Sonic was sleeping next to her. She smiled before planting a kiss on his forehead, for the wonderful night they shared.
The pink hedgehog grabbed a robe and slippers before heading outside to check the mail. All were bills except for one, a letter from Castle Acorn. She opened the envelope and read the letter which said:
"Dear Amy,
If you see my husband. Please tell him to come to Castle Acorn. I need to speak with him. Thanks.
From,
Sally"
Amy rushed into the apartment and woke up the sleeping blue hedgehog. "Sonic? Sonic! Wake up!" The pink hedgehog called out.
Sonic yawned and stretched, trying to get some energy into him. "What…? What is it, Ames?"
Amy handed the letter from Sally, in which he read. Sonic nodded and balled the letter up before throwing it in the trash can.
"I don't know what this is about...but I'll be right back. I promise." Sonic said. Before leaving, he gave Amy a kiss on the cheek.
"Sonic...please return to me." Amy whispered. Sonic smiled, running off to the castle.
Sally sat on her bed patiently, waiting for her soon to be ex-husband. She also knew that her time will soon be over according to the doctor's results. She looked very tired and felt very weak.
The blue hedgehog opened the door. "Sal…?"
"Sonic...come here." Sally whispered. Sonic walked in, and sat next to her on the bed.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Sonic...do you know what I have here?" She asked, handing him the papers. Sonic read through the title calmly.
"These are...divorce papers…" Sonic whispered.
"That's right...when you sign them, your title as long will be released, you will no longer rule anything." She explained. "But you will also no longer be my husband…"
Sonic grabbed a pen and signed the papers, before handing them back to Sally.
"You signed them so fast...am I that bad of a person for you not to give it some thought?" Sally asked sadly.
"Sal...you are far from a bad person...you're the mother of my daughter..you're a strong, kind, and beautiful person and I love you for that...but..I'm not in love with you nor this lifestyle…" He admitted. "I know I should've said something earlier…"
Sally nodded, not saying a word as she handed him another piece of paper. "What's this?" Sonic asked.
"This is something I wrote...when you sign this, you'll get five thousand rings…" Sally said.
Sonic's eyes widened. "Five thousand rings…"
"Don't get it twisted." Sally warned. "This is so you can raise Alice...if we didn't have a daughter I wouldn't be giving you this." The queen knew this was her last chance to do something to help Alice...especially after trying to set up the arranged marriage..
Sonic nodded, understanding that she was still angry at him. "Of course.." He said before signing.
He handed Sally the paper. "Sal…"
"Sonic...you may go…" Sally said. "Take care of our little girl…"
"Sal, why are you talking like that?!" Sonic asked.
"I SAID GO!" Sally yelled, the hedgehog obeyed and ran off, leaving Sally alone. Sally watched the hedgehog run off before breaking down in tears.
