Sonic's new life part 7

Four months passed.

Eggman entered Sonic's bedroom. Blue hedgehog was sitting in an armchair reading something while Shadow was drawing.

"Sonic, Shadow. I've got a surprise for you. Come with me."

Curious hedgehogs leapt up and followed Ivo. He walked over to unknown door. Then he tied blindfolds on their eyes.

"What is that for?" asked Shadow peeking through his.

"Ah-ah-ah. Surprise is a surprise Shadow. No peeking!" Said Eggman. He was really cheerful at the moment. Excited too I must add.

When the three crossed the doorframe Eggman said:

"Now take your blindfolds off."

When the two hogs saw where they were, they just gasped for air, speechless.
The three stood in the middle of Baby room shared with a bedroom. Next to the queen sized bed stood a crib with white beddings. There were shelves filled with clothes and toys. Also there was a changing mat laying on the cupboard. On the floor was a giant warm and fluffy carpet with a baby mat for it to play. In the corner was a rocking chair, next to it a table with a lamp a top of it. All furniture was white and the rest things were light blue and yellow. Sonic and Shadow didn't know what to say.

"Eggman… You did all of this by… yourself?"

"Well… With some help from the robots. In the end baby will need someplace to stay, eh? After it's born. You two will need to take care of it. I think it's nice to have everything under some sort of control."

Sonic approached the rocking chair and picked up a white teddy bear which was seated in it.

"Thank you Eggman… It's a really great present… " he said looking at the doctor with warmth in his eyes.

"Nah… It's nothing big…"

"The baby is happy too. It's kicking pretty hard. Eggman we're truly thankfull about what you did. We appreciate it."

"Correct" said Shadow.

"It's all I can do."

"Eggman… Without you there wouldn't be any of this." Said Sonic while walking over to Eggy. He hugged Robotnik. "Thank you really much Ivo."

"Nah… Don't mention it. Ehem. I have work to do so…"

"See ya later Eggman." Said Sonic. Ivo left the two alone. Sonic walked over to the crib. He placed the right hand on it while placing the other one on the belly.

"Well little one… Soon you're going to be here by mine and Shadow's side. Sleeping in your own bed. Aren't you happy?"

A slight kick answered it. Shadow went closer and place an arm around him. Hand on Sonic's hand.

"I think so yes."

-------------------------

A Month later…

That afternoon Sonic was sitting in the rocking chair asleep. Shadow just came back from the shop and wanted to watch how his "partner" is doing. After entering the room he smiled widely. Blue hedgy looked pretty relaxed in his sleep. Both of his hands were resting on the belly, next to the child. From the small radio on the bed side table poured a soft music of a lullaby.

'He looks so cute… It's surprising… Nine months earlier we were fighting to death at the Station Square. Now we're like… Well… Parents. Unbelievable.' thought Shadow while tip toeing to the chair. When he was next to Blue Blur he petted him on the head.

"Mh? Shadow?..." Sonic yawned.

"I woke you up? I'm sorry…"

"No problem…"

A moment of silence passed. Sonic stood up.

"Shadow… Will you make me some tea?"

"Sure thing Sonic. Be right back. Black-Red hog disappeared for a few minutes. Sonic walked over to the shelf with baby clothes. He picked up some rompers with blocks embroidered on the front. He sighed slightly with a smile. He couldn't wait to see the baby dressed into those.

"Well… It's pretty seems that I'm going to be a mom…" he murmured to himself.

Shadow came back when Sonic was returning the rompers to their's place.
"Here you go, Sonic."

"Thanks." He took a sip.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. Can't wait to see the little one."

"Yeah… Me too…"

Sonic placed the cup on the table. Suddenly he felt something weird inside his stomach. Something similar to a cramp. A very hurtful one. He fell to his knees clutching the aching part.

"Sonic, what's wrong?!" shouted worried Shadow.

"I don't… know… Call Eggman…"

Shadow leapt up to his feet and run to the red button on the wall. He hit it and run back to Sonic. He seated the other one on the ground leaning him against himself. Sonic posited himself a little more comfortable by fold his legs while keeping his feet on the ground. Shadow noticed it fast. Sonic started to breath in and out in some kind of a rhythm. Eggman burst into the room.

"What's going on here?"

"Eggman! Help! There's something wrong happening to Sonic!" Shadow started to panic. Eggman kneeled down in front of the two.

"Sonic, what's wrong?"

"It hurts…" he moaned through the pain.

"Where?"

"H-here…" He answered clutching his stomach harder. "Make it stop… Please…Nhgt…" he added cuddling into Shadow's arms more.

"Shadow."

"Huh?"

"Pick him up. We're going to laboratory. I've got slight feeling that the labor started."

"What?!"

"No time for it ! Hurry!"

Shadow carefully picked the poor blue hog from the floor.

Two minutes later they were in the surgery room. Eggman took them into the room next to it where was a hospital bed.

"Breath steady Sonic. Find the rhythm." Eggman said while undressing Sonic. Shadow stood on the side. He was a little pale. Sweat drops slipping down his face.

'Please God… Let them two be alright… I beg you..'

Sonic was panting really heavily. He was sweating as well but he was thus to the effort.

Eggman disappeared only for a few second to come back with a syringe.

"What is this?" asked Shadow worried about his blue friend.

"Don't worry. It's a painkiller. It'll help him. Trust me."

Sonic felt a little prick on the arm when the liquid was injected into his blood circle. After a minute or so he could feel the pain to slow down a little. He calmed down.

"How much time will it take?"

"It depends on his organism. It may take three, four hours but also it may that twenty four."

"Are you kidding? Twenty four hours?!" panicked Shadow " Someone can have a labor that can last a day ???" Shadow was pretty confused.

"Calm down. This kind of labors are really rare. Don't worry."

Sonic sighed in relief. Pain slowed down. He could focus on the way to bring the baby into the world. He was breathing rhythmically calmed down. When Shadow saw this he calmed down as well.

'Good… My little angle… I wish to see you already…' though Sonic.

Eggman was looking after everything as if he was a professional doctor at some random clinic. Shadow really trusted him. Now he knew that Eggman was protection their baby from any harm as for Sonic, he was truly calmed.

Three hours and a half later…

"Ahhh!!!" Sonic fell back after another push. Now, when baby was on the exit the blue hedgehog had the worst part. And by the "worst" I mean the most painful part.

"Push Sonic! Push!" Said Eggman.

"I can't… Too… tired…" he moaned panting really heavily. He even had problems with catching air for inhales.

"Once again! I can see the head! Once again Sonic!"

"Can't…" rasped Sonic with drops of the tears in his eyes. He kept them shut thus to the effort on the pushing. His cheeks were soaked wet from all the pain he had to go through.

Shadow seeing that Ivo's words won't do a thing bent down to Sonic.

"Sonic. Please. I beg you. If you won't do it…"

"I can't… Don't have… any energy…"

"You have! You always had, have and will have! I have seen you in action! You battled enemies who were like thousand bigger than you and you were like loosing cosines' while doing so but you were still fighting! Sonic ! You have to do it! Without you the baby will die ! Don't you get it ?!" shouted Shadow trying to wake up the battle spirit in Sonic.

The blue hog looked at the black one. Another pair of tears slipped down his face.

"Sh-…"

"You can shout! Scream! Anything! But I beg you! Do it Sonic!" A little hints of tears appeared in black hedgy's eyes. Before Sonic's eyes appeared the memories of him living in Eggman's headquarters. He had so much fun there, so much good thing happened there. Then he remembered those little rompers waiting on the shelf. The beautiful, cute and warm baby room made by Eggman.

'So much… For just a little miracle… Eggman… You truly made a miracle…' thought Sonic. Then he decided. He had to do it. For the Baby, for Shadow and for Eggman.

………

"Ngggghhh…. Nghaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Sonic while mustering the last push from his muscles. Then he fell back. His will kept him from loosing consciousness. His vision blurred. He panted hard, just like a man took from the ocean just before drowning.

Suddenly a quiet sound of a child's cry entered his ears. He looked at Shadow on his side. The black hedgehog was frozen while looking at Eggman. Robotnik cleaned the newborn and took the liquid out of his lungs to help him breath correctly. Sonic blinked several times to sharpen his vision.

Eggman walked over holding a little blue bundle. He handed it to Sonic who surprisingly found some strength to take it. Shadow was waiting in patient. Sonic gulped a little before uncovering the newborn. When they saw it they just were astonished. In Sonic arms rested a little girl-looking hedgehog with dark blue colored fur with a few stripes on her hands and legs. A few of her quills stood up just like Shadow's. Peach-colored muzzle with a little black nose looked so cute that even Eggman was smiling in kind way. A little girl let out a slight sigh before opening her eyes, revealing a beautiful, clear blue pools.

"Health and full of energy." Said Eggman " Just like her parents."

"I can't believe it…" whispered Shadow. Little infant looked at hers fathers and smiled.

"Little angle… Welcome to the world…" said Sonic cuddling his daughter closer and touching his nose to hers.

"You have to gave her a name, you know?" suggested dr. Robotnik.

"Right… What do you think Shadow?"

"Umi."

"Eh?"

"Like "sea" in the Japanese… Look at her. Her fur reminds me of the ocean in the moonlight."

"I see… Umi… I like it…" Said Sonic smiling. "From now on I think I'm going to like sea"

10 minutes later Sonic was back to his and Shadow's room. Blue hedgehog still held Umi close to his chest while lying in the bed. Shadow sat on his side.

"How are you feeling?"

"So far good. I'm just tired as hell."

"I can guess."

"No you can't. Oh?" Sonic was astonished a little because his newborn daughter seemed to search for something on his chest.

"What is she?-..." paused Shadow when Sonic suddenly tensed a little. Umi found something that you would never thought that Sonic would have. She found her source of milk – nipples.

"Wha?" breathed Shadow shocked.

"How? Wait, what? I've got nipples? Nipples that products milk?" Said Sonic shocked as well.

"Seems like you're going to well…"

"Do not dare to say it…"
"Be a… real mother?"
Sonic just broke down mentally. After a few seconds he realized how nice it felt when Umi was drinking.

I thing I'm going get used to this…

Month later…

"Waaahhh!!"

"Shadow…"

"Not me… It's yours turn Sonic…"

"Sorry but not… It was yesterday that I was the one…"

"…Damn…You're right…"
