Arctic POV
Sunlight gleamed through the tinted windows of the car I was in while the sounds of seagulls crying in the skies and waves crashing along the sandy beaches filled my big, seashell ears. Fluttering my lavender painted eyes open, I saw it was fairly dim in the car, but bright enough to see Scourge beneath me, loving the warmth we created. The only thing that ruined this serene moment in the late morning had to be the faint smell from the car style love making last night, right with the pain in my lower regions. Guess I still wasnt used to this, but I had grown more bold.
Sitting up so I straddled his waist to stretch, that movement woke him up in a flash. I had grown to love those equally light colored eyes were somewhat equal to my own, making me realize everything was okay.
"We should probably get this back soon, and hope Miles doesnt notice too much." I groaned, bending my back until it finally cracked, easing up from the night of sleeping still on a coach. Scourge crawled onto the drivers side while I got back in the passenger side, then he started up the car and we drove around town.
We had gotten lunch from a fast food place before finally just parking the large, red and black vehicle outside the castle. With an irritated Miles outside, tapping his foot while waiting for an answer.
"What?" Scourge asked in an innocent tone, making me smirk as I walked just to the doorway, wanting to see this play out.
"You idiot, this car is a dangerous prototype not built for brain dead morons like you to drive. Its amazing you didnt activate the self destruct button." The small genius growled while the hedgehog walked towards me with his hands up in defense.
"At this point, you may want to blow it up anyways." I said. He soon realized what I meant after examining the car, resulting in the poor guy almost throwing up at the smell or whatever was left of last night.
"What the hell did you two do?!" He yelled, trying to hold it together while Scourge and I couldnt hold back any laughter, even though it was kinda cruel. Then I threw up in a bush, but that was because of pregnancy. And it would only continue for 9 months.
(Normal POV, 6 months pass)
The days of early spring moved on to late summer with fall right around the corner, meaning it was almost the end of winter on Mobius right now. None the less, Arctic managed to get through this pregnancy one day at a time, having her lover and sister to help her on the hard times. The barfing had stopped about three months ago, and now it was just crazy cravings, chaotic mood swings day and night, along with back pain from the heavy weight of the baby.
Coming to the present, today Arctic had an ultra-sound at a doctors office in town to see how the baby was growing and other medical things of that nature. Currently in the waiting room was a number of women who were expectant as well, either with their family, friends or lovers to check up on their own babies. All happy and calm in that quiet, soothing room.
Arctic was one of those people, laying across a couch with her head on Scourges lap, waiting for their doctor.
"Hey, just out of curiosity, have you thought of any names for the baby?" She asked, playing with the tips of her tails.
"Eh, not really. Guess it'll come when its born, ya know?" He responded, looking bored as well. "Besides, ive been busy with somethings." He added, catching her attention.
"Tsk, with what? You dont really seem to care about the maintenance of your town, considering the swatbots are doing all the cleaning, no ones threatened your power or to trouble you with any problems, so whats your deal?" She asked with a smirk added.
"None of your concern, babe." He responded, not saying anything else to which she pouted and groaned. Luckily the doctor came out and called the couple in before anymore questions were asked, arriving at a small office out of many.
The expectant kitsune was placed on a leaned back table, getting comfortable before the doctor put freezing cold gel on her uncovered belly. It didnt bother Arctic, considering ice ran through her veins since birth.
"Alright, now lets find the baby." The doctor, a brunette rabbit that looked somewhat like Bunnie, just minus bionic parts and accent, said while moving a device along her bloated belly, looking for the growing fetus. "And...there it is." She said after finally locating the baby, showing the image to both parents on a tv. "It seems to be growing normally for a pup at this stage, and has a mixture of genetics from both of you. Hedgehog nose, spines on the back and head, along with what appears to be...a scarred chest? The child also seems to have large ears and fox tails like the mother here. Would you like to know if its a girl or boy?" She asked them.
"Um...nah. I wanna be surprised." Arctic stated, and Scourge being wise not to stir her emotions, just agreed with a nod. "But, its really okay?" She asked just to be sure.
"Yes, its growing at a healthy rate, and you havent been smoking, drinking alcohol or too much caffeine, so everythings per-" She started, but paused at something on the monitor, squiting her golden eyes to make it out.
"Somethin wrong, doc?" Scourge asked.
"I-I dont think so, but do any of you happen to have any winged ancestors or relatives in the past?" the rabbit asked. Scourge knew he didnt, as his whole family line had to be hedgehog as he was a pure. Arctic however couldnt say the same exactly, knowing she did have a winged ancestor. The same one that gave her these cursed, dark fairy powers that killed her father.
"Why?" She only asked, trying to keep calm as this could be just a mistake. Hopefully.
"Its just, it seems to have wings developing on the back." The doctor said, moving the image better to show the parents what she meant exactly. And it was a true, there was a thin curve along the infants back.
The fox didnt know what to say, just left the room quickly as the green hedgehog followed close behind. Without a word spoken, Arctic climbed in the passenger side and just crossed her arms, avoiding her lovers gaze when he got in the red jeep as well.
"Whats the matter?" He asked, tilting her chin up so she had to meet his gaze. Breathing in sharply through the nose, she found the words.
"Scourge, you know I would love our baby no matter what. If it was a boy or girl, even both, if it was a hedgehog or fox, anything. But...what if its evil like me, loses control and kills you, leaving me all alone again?" The fox choked out the words, trying her very best not to cry.
"Is that what the problem is? Look Arc, you only...flipped out before as a kid for a number of reasons. It wasnt just Mephiles getting in your head that started the attack, but the fact that no one cared enough to help you tame those dark powers. And, if it happens to have a devil trait inside, we'll take care of it together." He said, gripping her hand in his to reassure her.
'I cant really argue with him on that, its just that I dont wanna lose him like I lost my dad.' She thought, barely noticing that he was kissing her softly, to which she fully kissed back. 'Although, this is Scourge im talking about. The hedgehog that broke out of jail, beat Sonic and Shadow to a stand-still, and not to mention won my heart.' the kitsune thought, smiling in that passionate kiss.
"We should get home before we do 'that' again." She said, to which he sorta reluctantly nodded, driving back to the castle in silence. "At least we know that our little girl or boy is healthy, and that it sure sounds beautiful. And really, this day cant get worse." Arctic said with a soft smile, walking in the castle with her mean, green man by her side.
When in reality, this day was about to get even more chaotic, as there were two men from the slavery compound in the front hall. By the looks of it, they had a problem with Arctic, involving the baby she was carrying.
