when it rains final chapter
A huge bolt of lightning coursed the sky, with a loud boom of thunder coming afterwards. Rain pitter-pattered against the ground loudly, the showers getting rougher and rougher.
Today was not a pretty day.
The Sonic crew was in the waiting room, waiting for the birth. Waiting, waiting, waiting. It felt like ten hours had passed, but only one hour did. She wasn't dilated yet to the point where the baby could be born. Not just yet.
Apprehension filled the air around the friends as they thought about the many possibilities that could happen.
The baby could be Amy's beginning of the end. She could start a new life taking care of this baby and be a great mother. This baby could lead her into depression, not wanting to take care of it anymore and sending it to a foster home. Sonic and Amy could get married and they would live happily ever after with this baby.
Or Amy could...
Everyone shook their heads at some point upon thinking the absolute worst thing that could happen to Amy. They shoved that thought in the back of their minds where it would no longer be thought of. They wouldn't want to jinx it by thinking of it either.
"I'm going to get some coffee…anybody want some?" Rouge asked, with Knuckles nodding and following her to the coffee machine.
"So…what do you think is going to happen?" The bat asked after getting a cappuccino. She didn't want to bring it up, for there are so many possibilities. But she had to share thoughts with someone else or else she would suffocate in her own imagination.
The red echidna shrugged. "No idea. I've ran through all the possibilities there could be in my head. Any one of them could happen."
"Even…"
"Don't jinx it!"
Both of them were silent after Knuckles's outburst. It was now clear to see that everyone thought of that thought. They couldn't push it to the back of their imaginary world, where nothing happened in reality.
But it could happen.
Everyone nonchalantly shook their heads again. 'But it won't happen.'

Another hour passed, and the pink hedgehog wasn't exactly ready still. The doctor informed them that it would take as long as five more hours tops. Maybe less, maybe more; anything could happen, really.
Cream and Tails had fallen asleep, their heavy minds tiring them out. Knuckles nodded off a couple times, but still awake. He thought it was far too early to be up, but for everyone's sake, he kept his eyes open. Rouge was the same, but she always got more and more coffee to stay up, having to go the bathroom every once in a while.
Sonic was the only one wide awake.
His feet tapped on the floor in nervousness, desperately wanting to run and forget all the troubles. He wanted all the anxiety in his heart to go away. He and Amy were so close now, so for anything horrible to happen to her would leave Sonic not knowing what to do. His world could crash down. He could go into depression, stray away from everything else in the world.
But he believed that Amy was strong. She was strong enough to pull it together and have this baby. She was nowhere near weak. Sonic realized that the pink hedgehog could go through everything with a smile on her face, even if there are tears rolling down her pretty face.
But he also remembered that Amy always had a weak spot inside her. There could be a part of her that made her think that she can't do this. That she should just give up.
'She would never give up,' Sonic thought, shaking his head. Once again, he pushed any bad thoughts in the back of his head.
He just hoped he could wake tomorrow without any nightmares.

Three more hours passed, with everyone awake now. The doctor came in the waiting room, having some news to tell them, obviously.
"Amy is almost ready to give birth. She probably has approximately an hour left to go. In the meantime, I'd like to have a close friend with Amy for support."
Everyone nodded at Sonic, who already got up. He followed the doctor, his heart beating faster and faster with every step. They reached the room Amy was in, and the doctor gestured the blue hero in.
In the room, he saw Amy. She had sweat beads rolling off her forehead, she was out of breath, and she looked like she just came out of a contraction. Through it all, Sonic thought she still looked captivating.
Her jade eyes met his emerald eyes, and she smiled. "Sonic…I'm so glad you're here."
He walked over to her, sitting on a chair next to her bed. He softly grabbed her hand and squeezed it in reassurance. "Of course I am. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Her smile broadened, her jade eyes sparkling. She felt like the happiest girl in the world.
As the moments passed, so did the contractions. And the whole time, Sonic comforted her with soft murmurs of assurance, kissing her on the cheek, on her temples, and her full, strawberry lips.
"I love you…" Amy told him, just above a whisper. Tears rolled down her cheeks, only for Sonic to cast them away.
"I love you too…"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Anything…"
"To be honest…I'm a little scared. I don't know what's going to happen."
He squeezed her hand again. "Nothing bad will happen. I swear. You can do this, Amy."
"I…I can?" She asked, not so sure of herself.
"Yes, you can. Listen, Amy. You're the strongest girl I've ever met. You've gone through death-defying journeys, and you never gave up on those journeys. You never gave up on me, even though I ran away from you all the time. Your passion is so strong, and that's what I love about you. You've gone through everything with a smile. And you will do this with a smile. Never stop smiling, Amy Rose."
The pink hedgehog started trembling from his inspirational words, tears now falling freely out of her sharp green eyes. "Sonic…I…I can do this. You're right; it'd be foolish for me to start thinking so low now…I've gotta get through this. Oh, Sonic, I love you so much, you don't even know."
Sonic smiled. "I do know, Amy. I just can't believe it took me so long to realize that. And now we're going to have a baby together, whether it's mine biologically or not. It's going to be beautiful."
"Yes…she will be beautiful. Because we will treat her right. We will treat her like she is the most special girl in the world."
They leaned in closer and had a kiss through their smiles, forgetting about everything for that moment. It's just them against the world now.
The doctor walked in, smiling at the sweet sight. He chuckled as the two blushed as they pulled away.
"Alright, Amy. I believe it's time," the doctor put on his gloves, soon getting into his position to pull out the baby. "On three, I want you to push as much as you can, alright? Sonic and the nurses will help and comfort you through the pain. Ready?"
Amy swallowed away the feeling of her heart in her throat, repeated every single word that Sonic said to her, and nodded after taking a deep breath.
"One…two…three!"

After a long, strenuous half hour of screaming, pushing and crying, the baby was finally out. She was healthy, cute and small. And she looked exactly like Amy. It was a beautiful sight, and even caused Sonic to tear up.
The dark clouds were gone, the blue sky visible and the brilliant sun was shining brightly. It was beautifully sweet.
hours passed amy was holding her child, even though she concived through rape she was beatyful. "i'm going to take good care of you" amy said to her daughter
"there is only one she needs amy" sonic said
"a name?"
"ok two things....she needs a name and a father" sonic lookec into amy's eyes "amy will you marry me?"
