Thanks for the reviews!

I own nothing.

Through The Ages: Part Three

"Amy, are you sure you're going to be ok?" Sonic asked Amy for what felt like the millionth time that morning. "Because Tails and I can always do this another day?"

Amy groaned as she pulled the bed covers tighter around her. "Just go Sonic, I'm fine."

That was a complete lie. She wasn't fine at all. Just the thought of movement made her stomach churn. The smell of breakfast still lingered in the house and Amy was trying her best not to gag. She wanted the pain to go away so bad. Every smell, every movement set her off. Her stomach had refused to calm down these past few days and all she wanted to do was lay in bed and sulk for the rest of eternity.

Sonic's hand pressed against her forehead and it took all of her effort not to projectile vomit onto him. Relief flooded her as he pulled away, but she soon glared up at him when he stared at her with concern.

"You feel a little warmer than usual." He said a little worriedly. "Maybe I should call a doctor to see what's wrong."

Amy huffed. "I don't need a doctor." She pouted before growling at him. "What I need right now is space. How can I feel better with you hovering over me and making a fuss?"

Sonic chuckled and raised his hands defensively. "Ok little miss moody, whatever you say. But when I get back and you're not better, I'm calling a doctor."

"Fine." Amy buried herself further down into the covers. "Just go away."

Sonic sighed and reluctantly left. When she heard the front door close, Amy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flipped the covers off her to cool down slightly. Bad move. She gasped as the aromas filled her nose, polluting her senses and making her stomach go crazy. Jumping out of bed as fast as she could, Amy ran towards the bathroom and vomited up whatever was left in her stomach. Sweating, she collapsed onto her knees and groaned, leaning forward to place her forehead on the cool tiled floor of the small bathroom. The room around her was spinning slightly and she prayed for the feeling to go away.

She knew what was wrong. She'd known for days now. Yet she didn't know how she was going to tell him. The signs were all there and the test had confirmed her suspicions. Amy knew she wanted kids, she always had, but Sonic had never really been straight forward with this kind of thing. He had it in him to be a great father, but children was something that they had never really seriously discussed. Now it wasn't just morning sickness that Amy had; she was sick with nerves. How would he react?

The world around her stopped spinning at last and the nausea subsided a little. Now she just felt like she really needed some fresh air. Amy quickly cleaned her teeth and got dressed ready to leave the house. She didn't go very far. Just to the small park on the outskirts of Station Square and sat on one of the wooden benches that stared at the tall skyscrapers of the city a few miles away. Absentmindedly, she placed a hand on her abdomen as she thought about the future that was now growing in there. She wondered if it was a boy or a girl. What colour would they be? Whose powers would they inherit? A smile made its way onto her face at the thought of a tiny hedgehog running around their home. She loved this baby already. It filled her heart to the point where she felt like she was drowning. Despite her sickness and moodiness earlier, she had never felt happier. Elated with the thought of the beautiful thing that she and Sonic had created together through love.

But there was still the issue of telling him.

Her smile immediately dropped, her happiness was replaced by utter terror as she wondered how he would react.

"What have we here?" A flirty voice called from above, making Amy jump and look up.

She sighed in annoyance as she turned her attention away from the bat and back to the city. "What do you want?" Amy asked suspiciously.

"You know, pinkie, I get the feeling that you don't trust me." Rouge chuckled as she landed next to the bench Amy was sat on. "I can't think why. Anyway, what are you doing out here?"

"Just thinking." Amy replied flatly, wishing that Rouge would leave her alone.

"Hmmm, while rubbing your stomach?" Rouge smirked as Amy quickly put her hand down once she realised what she was doing. "So, Sonic finally knocked you up?"

Amy rolled her eyes. "I'm not knocked up." She snapped.

Rouge sat down next to her. "You can't kid a kidder, pinkie. You're pregnant; it's written all over you."

"Since when are you a nurse?" Amy demanded, folding her arms. Rouge was the last person she expected to take an interest.

"Well, word on the street is you have been ill the last few days and since I've just caught you with your hand on your stomach, it now seems more than obvious." Rouge explained.

Amy sighed. "Fine. I'm pregnant. Happy now?"

"Mmmm. And what does Sonic think of this? Why haven't you announced it to your friends yet?"

Amy didn't say anything.

"Sonic doesn't know, does he?"

Amy shook her head guiltily, unfolding her arms and holding onto the edge of the bench, digging her fingers into the wood nervously as she bit her lip to stop herself from crying.

Rouge rolled her eyes. "Don't you think he has a right to know?"

"Of course." Amy sniffed. "I'm just scared of how he's going to take it."

"What do you think he's going to do? Bolt out on you? I don't think so pinkie."

"I know I'm being stupid, but I just can't help but worry." Amy dried her eyes.

"Looks like someone's already hormonal." Rouge chuckled as Amy's head snapped around to glare murderously at the government spy.

"I am not hormonal!"

.

The sound of Sonic dashing through the front door made Amy stiffen before she switched the TV off. This was it. She had to tell him. As much as she hated to admit it, Rouge was right. Why would Sonic have any reason to be angry? She knew Sonic better than anyone and it was time she stopped putting the wrong words into his mouth and be honest with him. Besides, she couldn't hide something like this forever. Better sooner rather than later.

"Amy?" He called out.

"In here." Amy squeaked, cursing her nervousness. All of that internal pep talk had got her nowhere.

Sonic quickly dashed into the room and collapsed on the couch next to her as he stared at her with worried narrow eyes.

"You're looking a bit better than this morning." He noted. "Did you manage to eat something?"

"Just some toast." Amy mumbled, thankful that she had managed to keep it down. Although the smell did make her feel a little sick, it was nothing compared to how she felt that morning.

"I'm calling a doctor." Sonic announced and before he managed to stand up, Amy grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.

"There's no need." She sighed as Sonic stared at her with wide eyes as if she was crazy. "I know what's wrong – or perfectly normal in my case."

"Huh?" Sonic felt her forehead again. "Have you gone delirious with fever?"

Amy pushed his hand away from her face and held it tightly between her two hands as Sonic watched her expectantly and anxiously.

"Sonic…it looks like we're going to be parents."

The blue hedgehog blinked and stared at her blankly for a few seconds before he sank back into the couch in a daze. Amy watched him carefully as she could see the words sinking into his head.

"You mean you're…?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure that you're sure?"

"Yes Sonic." Amy giggled. "I'm pregnant."

"YAHOO!" Sonic screamed making Amy jump. Before Amy could even register, Sonic had leaped up from the couch, picked her up and began spinning her around. "I'm gunna be a dad!"

Amy fidgeted in his grip uncomfortably, cringing. "Spinning." She mumbled queasily. "Not good."

"Oh, sorry." Sonic chuckled. "I guess I have to be more careful; you carrying precious cargo and everything." He placed Amy down and beamed down at her with a large smile and a sparkle in his eyes that Amy had never seen before.

"Are you ok with this?" She asked timidly before Sonic hugged her tightly, burying his face in her quills.

"Of course I'm ok. Why wouldn't I be?" He sighed blissfully.

Amy smiled and hugged him back. She didn't even know why she was so worried in the first place.

Sonic pulled back slightly, one arm still wrapped around her waist while he gently placed his other hand on her stomach.

"Looks like we've got a new adventure to look forward to."
