Chapter 47: The Negatives of Obesity:

The next day, Doctor Wellsworth was sitting in his office doing some paperwork when the intercom went off.

"Dr. Wellsworth? Your patient is here." The woman at the front desk said.

Without hesitation, the young doctor got up and headed for the waiting room, and was shocked to find Shadow and Rouge as his patients.

"Uhm, well this is a surprise! I mean, when Amy called yesterday, I thought she'd gotten pregnant again, but no, it's...you!" He said, an eye darting onto Rouge's cleavage.

Goddamn it! I KNEW she wasn't single! He thought as he lead them to the pregnancy check-up room.

Now that he knew he would never get his hands on Rouge, the doctor proceeded to behave normally during the check-up.

I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!

(sigh) Somehow I KNEW that there would

be a catch! Even after a major crisis (or in my

case, a battle) is over, there's always that one

issue that pops up later on in life and it usually

stems from something that happened during that

event! ...Little did I know that the issue would occur

this soon after the fight! And during all those years

before I became a semi-active hero, I always thought

that becoming fat would never be a problem for me

(no matter how long I would be immobilized for), given

my insanely high metabolism! Well, sadly that won't save

me now, so I guess I'll have to lose this fat the old-fashioned

way and put up with a more difficult life for just a bit longer. (sigh)

While the check-up yielded good results, things were not going as well for Sonic back at the house. All day, he had been experiencing problems with his obesity, and the excess weight did not seem to be going away fast enough. Things that he was normally good at became things he was terrible at, and simple everyday tasks became challenges.

The first issue occurred that morning when he and his small family were going to church. While he was watching Amy help Sonic Jr. do the communion, his best suit (which he had managed to squeeze himself into earlier) began to rip and his belt buckle popped off, flying to the front of the room and hitting Amy in the nose, causing her to drop Junior to the carpet as she grabbed it. (Though Jr. was completely unharmed and immediately stood back up, before proceeding to jump up and grab the piece of bread for himself).

Next came afternoon, when Amy and the girls had left for a spa day, with Amy's reason being to relax herself not only after the incident that morning, but after many days of having to care for Sonic while he was still unable to get out of bed. Due to her absence, it was now Sonic's responsibility to feed Sonic Jr. lunch and put him down for his nap. He managed to do the first part with no issue, but trouble began when Jr. accidentally dropped his Tails Doll onto the floor while he was being lifted into his bassinet. When Sonic proceeded to pick it up, he could not see it on the ground due to his stomach, and since he couldn't see his feet either, he ended up accidentally stepping on it and popping its head off. The sight of this made Sonic Jr. start crying angrily and loudly, and when he was given his decapitated toy, he refused it and used it to beat his father over the head countless times.

Once evening rolled around, Sonic was busying himself vacuuming the carpet in his bedroom since it was one of the few productive things he could do around the house (besides working out) without any trouble. The tired Amy came into the bedroom and let out a yawn, before quickly noticing that the room was sparkling.

"Wow, you got a lot done!" She exclaimed.

"And it's one of the few things I've been able to do today without upsetting anyone." Sonic replied.

"You know, I was so mad when I got home from the spa since I knew I'd have to vacuum the carpets when I got back, but you've taken that stress right off my back! In fact, how 'bout I reward you?" Amy said, dragging Sonic by the arm towards the bed.

Sonic let out a sigh.

"C'mon, seriously? I'm tired! And I thought you said we wouldn't do it until this one grew up a little more." Sonic replied, pointing to the bassinet where Sonic Jr. was sleeping.

"But Sonic, I need to relax! That spa day wasn't nearly enough!" Amy whined, now in nothing but her undergarments as she leaned against Sonic and rubbed a finger along his arm.

"For the last time, I'm not in the mood for...!" Sonic groaned, getting under the covers.

"Just shut up and take me!" Amy scolded, slowly losing her patience.

Fine! If it'll shut you up! Sonic thought to himself as the two hedgehogs wrapped their arms around each other.

"Well don't just lay there! Say something! I like to hear words when we do it!" Amy demanded.

"Um, welcome to the sandwich shop. May I take your order?" Sonic reluctantly asked.

"Well, I'd like a six-inch with everything on it!" Amy requested.

"Uh, sorry but I'm afraid we're running low on tho- WHOAH!" Sonic replied, only to be yanked further into bed as Amy turned out the lamp on her nightstand, turning the room pitch-black.

After about 45 seconds, she turned the light back on.

"Sonic! Get up! I think you dropped a stale chili dog into the bed!" Amy gasped, looking around under the covers.

"...That was me." Sonic hesitantly replied.

"Yes, I know it was you, now help me find it and toss- Wait a second! You can't perform!?" Amy asked.

Sonic blushed before nodding sheepishly.

"Oh, this is because of your obesity, isn't it!? You really need to slim down, Sonic!" Amy said.

"Don't worry, I'm already on it, and I won't be going back on my decision!" Sonic said, "...Though admittedly, I'll still miss some of the few positives of being a fatass!"

{A cutaway began, showing Sonic, Tails, Amy and Blaze watching the Sonic OVA in the living room. It was early spring so it was still cold out, and the heater in the house was broken. The cold was so unbearable that everyone but Sonic was shivering beneath blankets, not even paying attention to the movie. "Rrgh, SHUT UP, TAILS!" Sonic yelled from inside the movie. The Sonic from the present sat on the couch, laughing really hard at the scene that had just played. He sat there with no blanket on and ate comfortably from the bowl of caramel corn that they were all supposed to share; for his fat was providing him with all the warmth he needed. "Sonic, how are you not freezing?" Tails asked from the spot next to him. "I don't know. Maybe you guys are just being wusses!" He said.}

Meanwhile, Shadow came out of the bathroom to find the bedroom completely dark except for his lamp. Rouge was soundly asleep in bed on her back, the top portion of her nightgown visible as it exposed most of her chest. Getting a playful smirk on his face once again, Shadow got onto the bed on his knees and started to speak softly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Thoracic Park! Once the shuttle has come to a complete stop, please exit through the front doors in a single-file line without running." He said, "As you step out of the shuttle for the first time, you'll notice that the ground is very soft and heavenly to the touch, and you'll also notice a massive fissure off to our right..."

As Shadow spoke, he walked two of his fingers along Rouge's breasts.

"Mmm...ohh...mmmm..." Rouge moaned in her sleep as Shadow's actions caused her to tingle with pleasure.

"Mmph! Cut it out, you're giving me an orgasm!" She managed to say before he woke up to see Shadow sitting on the bed, "Oh, it's you Shadow! I didn't know you wanted to do it this way!"

She sat up slightly as the two wrapped their arms around each other, and Shadow got under the covers without letting go.

"W-wai-wait a minute, what are we doing?" Rouge asked.

Shadow paused as he heard this.

"We can't do it now! We're pregnant, remember?" Rouge continued, "We can't until it's born! Otherwise, something bad could happen!"

"You're right." Shadow sighed.

"I know, I know, I feel you, but it's for the best!" Rouge replied, rolling over and going back to sleep.

Shadow hesitantly did the same.
