The house was dark, but the small light  \ndown the hallway caught her attention. Pushing the door open, she saw  \nJune. \"June?\"   \n  \nThe bat, startled, dropped what she'd held. \"I wasn't stealing   \nanything!\"   \n  \n\"I didn't say you were,\" Teal defended. She looked down at what June   \nhad dropped. \"Oh, those are... dad had those before he met mom, I   \nthink.\"   \n  \nPosters of well-muscled women scattered the floor. \"Sis lets him keep   \nthese?\" June was a bit surprised.   \n  \n\"Actually,\" Teal explained, \"he wants to throw them out but mom keeps   \nthem, some game they have. She keps waving them in his face.\"   \n  \n\"I see.\" June picked them up, her cast getting in the way. \"Stupid thing   \ncomes off tomorrow, can't wait.\" Assuming her sister would want to find   \nthe posters in the same spot, June tucked them away.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nAfternoon. June's cast was off and it was her first day out in six weeks.  \nRouge had given her money and free reign to take a day out on her  \nown. Sitting alone, enjoying her milkshake, she once again got a  \nstrange feeling. An odd feeling she was being followed. Turning, she saw  \nthem, two cops outside, cops she was certain she had seen elsewhere that  \nday.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Pulling out the cell phone Rouge had given her, she dialed the mansion.  \n\"Hello?\"   \n  \n\"ROUGE! Sis... I think some guys are following me...\"  \n  \n\"Wait... following you? You sure?\" Rouge asked, concerned.   \n  \nJune looked back. She was certain they were watching her. \"They look   \nlike cops and I think they've been following me everywhere. I'm   \nscared...\"  \n  \n\"Just stay where you are and don't panic. I'm sending Teal to get you.  \nShe's a GUN agent so they can't do anything. This is because you   \nshoplifted from our store... where are you?\"   \n  \nJune answered, \"a fast food place. Has a happy clown on the front of it.   \nIt's not far from your fruit store.\"  \n  \n\"Okay. Stay there and don't move.\" Rouge hung up.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge's senses were going off like bells as she opened Teal's door.   \n  \n\"Mom?\"   \n  \n\"Teal, get your GUN ID. June's being harassed by the police for no reason.   \nYou need to go get her.\" Rouge was panicking but seemed to hide it, if only  \nslightly.  \n  \n\"Mom, I'm just a low-level agent, I don't-\"   \n  \n\"Just do it!\" she shouted. \"She's at Happy Burger near our store in the   \ncity, go, now! Get her home! I'm not having the police harass my sister!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Without argument, Teal picked up her purse and grabbed her government  \nbadge, heading for her window. Flying over the house would be faster  \nthan running to the front door.  \n  \nContent that her daughter was on the way, Rouge dialed the phone.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe police officers watched Teal enter the restaurant, meeting with June.  \n\"We don't have anything on her,\" the first said, fed up with this  \nassignment.   \n  \n\"You heard the captain,\" the second said, \"bring her in on something.   \nLooks like... hmm... think maybe that's some underage lesbian   \nprostitution deal going on? I think so. Come on.\"  \n  \nExiting their car, they made their way to the door, only to be  \nstopped by three men. \"This is GUN business. Stand down.\"   \n  \n\"You're in our way, buddy!\" officer one shouted. Teal led June outside,   \nthe two flying off.   \n  \n\"They're clear,\" one of the agents said into his radio.  \n  \nThe second cop screamed out, \"you just pushed the wrong-\"  \n  \nHe was silenced, his arm twisted and his body slammed into the wall.  \n\"Don't piss me off, donut-monkey. This is government business and  \nyou couldn't stop a crime in your sleep.\" Cold as ice and hard as steel,  \nthe three GUN agents walked away, their job done.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nCentral City Police Department fell silent as the Commander of GUN   \nentered the main detective room, followed by several top-ranking  \nagents. Stopping at the Captain's door, he opened it. \"Captain.\"  \n  \n\"What does GUN want in Central City?\" The Captain blurted out,  \n  \n\"what does the police department want with an innocent teenage girl?\"  \n  \n\"Innocent...\" the Captain laughed. \"Arrested ten times, no one  \npressed charges because they all felt SORRY for her! Bust her with  \nan actual offense, and she might get the message! I don't care if she  \nis family to those rich twits on that fruit farm!\"  \n  \n\"Those people happen to be friends of mine. One of them was a high-  \nranking agent at one point, so I would thank you to keep your   \nugly, sagging face shut!\" He was fed up with the Captain.   \n  \n\"Funny, I don't recall being the ugly one. Linda once dated me, not   \nyou. I doubt she left me because she thought you were better looking!\"  \n  \n\"No, she didn't leave you because of that,\" the Commander stated,  \n\"she left you because you were beating her.\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Enraged, the police Captain grabbed the Commander's shirt. \"What right   \ndo you have to-\"  \n  \nThe entire department was in awe as the Captain's door smashed open,  \ntheir Captain hitting the floor. Stepping over him with proud  \nvictory, the GUN Commander shouted out, \"if ANYONE in this city  \nharasses any member of the Adriani family again, I will PERSONALLY see  \nto it that that individual is arrested by GUN and sent to a prison   \nisland! Rouge Adriani is still considered to be an agent of GUN and  \nany attempt to harass her or any member of her family WILL be regarded  \nas an act of terrorism by this nation! Do I make myself clear?\"  \n  \nHe began to slowly walk away. \"Right, as for your abusive Captain,  \nhe will be replaced soon. I am suggesting to the President himself  \nthat you be fired immediately.\" Followed by his Agents, the Commander  \nreturned to his limo. Driving off, he said, \"I may have sounded harsh...  \nbut compared to what Rouge would do to them, I'm being fairly  \ngenerous...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge was happy. She hugged her sister. \"I'm glad you're safe...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yeah, I'm okay. Just a bit weirded out, that's all.\"  \n  \n\"I'm afraid some of this is my fault,\" Tom said. \"The police Captain  \nis from one of the wealthy families my parents associated with back  \nin the days of the old wine company. One of their sons. I pissed off  \na lot of those people when I threw away a wine legacy of three   \ngenerations to make jelly and yogurt.\"  \n  \n\"It's not your fault, Tom.\" Rouge sighed. \"It's the fault of people  \nwho can't just leave other people alone...\" She was relieved to have  \nher sister home.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nNight had come. Teal was tired. She had gone to the kitchen to sneak a  \nsandwich, finding a light on in the hallway, peeking under a door.  \nGently opening it, she found June, once again looking at the old  \nmuscle girl posters. \"June?\" Startled, the girl jumped.   \n  \n\"Teal! I- I-\" She seemed to be sweating, but not from the heat. It was   \na cold, nervous sweat.  \n  \n\"You were...\" Teal processed the sight. \"You were looking at dad's old   \nposters again.\"   \n  \n\"So? Big deal... sis has muscles, I just want some inspiration to be   \nlike her, that's all.\" Wiping her eye, June bent down to pick the   \nposters up.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"What's wrong?\" Teal asked.   \n  \n\"I... screw it, I can't keep lying about this but I-\" She crumpled  \nto the floor, her wings wrapped around. She was crying.   \n  \n\"June, come on, what's wrong? Something happen today?\"   \n  \n\"No, it's not about that,\" she replied. \"I- Teal... you'll think I'm   \na freak or something...\" Holding a poster, she held it up. \"These   \npictures... they turn me on, okay? I'm a lesbian! I like tits and   \nlipstick!\"  \n  \nShe was a bit shocked. \"I- I see...\"   \n  \n\"Don't worry, Teal, I'm not into YOU. You're family, that'd be gross.   \nIt's one thing to be homeless, another to be a thief AND a teenager...   \nadd dyke on top of that and I was kinda messed up. Please don't tell   \nsis, she'll probably get mad.\"  \n  \n\"Mom won't get mad,\" Teal assured, \"she's not as bad as she acts   \nsometimes. Look, I can't make you tell her, but don't run off. That'd  \nmake things worse. She's been freaking out about this since she met you.  \nYou don't want to take this away from her, do you?\" Reaching out her  \nhand, she pulled June up from the floor. \"Come on, bed time. Please  \ndon't run off, okay?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You sure you even want me sleeping in the same room with you?\" June   \nwas a bit nervous.  \n  \n\"Don't worry, I believe you. I don't think you're going to do anything  \nnasty.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nWaking up, June rolled over, tossing the blankets off. Teal was in the  \nbathroom, brushing her teeth. June had to go. \"Teal... please can  \nI have the bathroom?\" Spitting out her toothpaste, Teal gave her aunt  \nsome privacy. The door opened, revealing June, relieved. \"Damn....  \nwell, all yours.\" Returning to the sink, she continued her morning  \nritual.  \n  \n\"Teal?\" June poked her head in the door. \"I think... I need to talk to  \nsis. I know she wants me here, but she has to know and if she can't  \naccept me for it, then I can't stay here.\"   \n  \n\"But leaving would break her heart!\" Setting her toothbrush down, she   \ngrabbed a cup to rinse with.  \n  \nJune replied, \"I can't cover it up. If she can't like me for who I am   \nthen I'm going. It's just-\" She hesitated. \"Mom couldn't deal with it.   \nI can't take it if my own sister can't.\"  \n  \nBreathing in a heavy breath, Teal made a quick decision. Grabbing  \nJune's hand, she ran into the living room where her parents sat. \"MOM!   \nJune has something to tell you.\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh? June?\" Rouge was curious.  \n  \nTurning red, the bat flinched. \"Sis, I.... I don't know if you're  \ngonna be mad, but I didn't run away from home. Mom kicked me out.\"  \n  \n\"I can't say that surprises me,\" Rouge responded. \"She'd probably  \nhave kicked me out, too, given time...\"   \n  \n\"You don't understand,\" June shouted. \"Mom kicked me out because...\"   \nLooking at Teal for encouragement, she explained, \"mom caught me looking   \nat porn.\"   \n  \nRouge laughed. \"Really? I'd think mom would have encouraged that. She   \nwas a total slut...\"  \n  \n\"Girly porn,\" June said sharply. \"Mom caught me looking at girly   \npictures. And... I wasn't just stumbling through them, I was looking.  \nSis... I'm queer. Mom kicked me out because I wouldn't grow up to have  \nsex with guys.\" Sniffling, June let the tears leak down her face.  \n\"And you probably think I'm a weirdo, too, what with you and your  \nhusband banging into the night, so I'm going to leave-\"  \n  \nReaching out, Rouge gave her sister a hug, tight and forceful. \"NO!  \nPlease... you can't go! I don't care, I'm not leaving you out on the  \nstreets with no food or shelter!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Pulling free, she asked, \"you really aren't freaked out?\"  \n  \n\"A bit surprised, but no, I don't think it's a bad thing.\"   \n  \nTeal shouted out, \"we haven't been-\"   \n  \n\"I know that, Teal! If you were a lesbian you wouldn't be dating the   \nechidna boy.\"  \n  \n\"His name is Slate, MOTHER!\" Teal shouted. \"Oh... guess the old  \nrivalries still hit my tongue before I talk...\" Rouge responded,  \na bit embarrassed. \"But you're staying, June. Don't think you need to  \nkeep secrets from me, okay? You're my only sister and I'll protect you  \nno matter what! I need my family.\"  \n  \n\"Mom? Teal spoke up. \"I think it's time June gets her own room, don't   \nyou?\"   \n  \n\"Sounds like a good idea,\" Tom said. \"We have enough empty rooms in this   \nplace, just pick one.\"   \n  \n\"You're cool with this?\"  \n  \n\"I don't mind, not my business who turns you on.\" Picking up the  \nnewspaper, he opened to the financial section to check his own  \nbusinesses. They were holding up well.   \n  \n\"Uh, Mister Adriani... can I... I found your old girly posters, you   \nmind if I, uhh...\"   \n  \n\"You want those old things? I don't care. Wait... I thought I threw   \nthose away?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge grinned. \"If you want to look at that stuff, well, it's your room,  \nyou put whatever on the walls you want.\" Taking her sister's hand,  \nRouge assured, \"don't worry, you're safe. Anyone messes with you  \nabout this, I'll take care of it.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty two years, five months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe GUN records room was as well-polished as the rest of the facility,  \ndespite being buried in a sub-basement level. The elevator doors opened,  \nTeal pushing a cart loaded with boxes towards records storage. Papers  \nand digital files that would need to be indexed and stored. Reports.  \n  \nTeal didn't care for this job. She was hauling papers instead of  \ndoing the big jobs.  \n  \nBuzzing in, the door slid open. Inside, Teal saw the clerk, a  \nseventeen year old female bat that had worked there for six months.  \nRolling the cart up to the desk, she signed in. \"More crap to put  \naway...\" she muttered. Teal often wondered where GUN found places to  \nstore it all. She knew that the group didn't stick strictly to digital  \ncopies- pulling papers had never been too hard.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The bat looked at the boxes. \"Like I don't have enough work...\"  \n  \nTeal noticed something off. She'd never paid much attention down here,  \nbut something wasn't right. Her brain finally processed the change.  \nThe clerk had black fur in a long ponytail, but the long pink streak  \nwas out of place. \"You noticed!\" she said, catching Teal's gaze. \"Yeah,  \nI was... umm, inspired by the brown streak you dyed into your fur.\"  \n  \n\"That's not dyed in,\" Teal responded.   \n  \nThe clerk muttered out, \"...huh... well.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah. I have to get going.\" Teal wasn't sure why she had to go,  \nshe had no assignments but she didn't see a need to stay down here.  \n  \n\"Wait!\" The bat had shouted out in a hurry. \"Teal... right?\"  \n  \nShe replied, \"yeah. Same name I sign in with every time I'm down here.\"  \n  \nLeaning forward, the clerk seemed to be getting flirty. \"Your mother's  \na legend in GUN. What're you doing pushing papers, anyway?\"   \n  \n\"I...\" Teal didn't feel like explaining herself.   \n  \n\"Oh, guess it's not my business. But uh... listen...\" Teal waited for   \nher to spit it out. Playing with her bracelets, she finally asked,   \n\"don't take this the wrong way but... you wanna go out later?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Teal's jaw dropped slightly. \"You mean... not as in 'hanging  \nout', but... I have a boyfriend, sorry.\"  \n  \nThe clerk shrank back. \"I am SO sorry, I didn't- uh, forget I said  \nanything, okay? I didn't know!\" She seemed ashamed to have asked. \"Really,  \nI didn't mean to-\"   \n  \n\"It's okay,\" Teal said. \"I'm just... I don't go that way but....\"   \nTurning, she started to walk away, only for her feet to stop. \"What's  \nyour name?\"   \n  \nThe clerks ears perked up. \"Seriously?\"   \n  \n\"Yes, seriously, I never asked before. I'm NOT changing my mind, I just   \nwant to know!\"   \n  \n\"Right... my name's Tiff.\"   \n  \nTeal asked, \"Tiffany?\"   \n  \n\"No, just Tiff,\" she replied. \"Tiff Nightwing.\"  \n  \nTeal explained, \"listen, I might know someone who... would be more your   \ntype. But let me talk to them first, okay?\"  \n  \nTiff smiled blissfully. \"Yes! Thank you, Teal!\"   \n  \n\"Right... I should get going in case they have more work from me. And   \ndon't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened down here. It's- it's   \nno big deal, okay?\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nRouge clipped her jewelry in place, looking in the mirror with pride.  \nHands slipped over her bare shoulders. \"Tom... not yet, we haven't  \neven left the house...\" she scolded. Her strapless black dress  \ntempted him. They were going out. Nowhere special, just out.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Fiddling with the TV, June watched them headed for the door. \"You two have  \na good time. I'll be fine here.\"   \n  \n\"I don't know when we'll be back, okay? Tom and I might slip off to the   \ncasino if we feel a bit... anyway, Teal should be home from work soon.\"   \nGrabbing her purse in one hand and Tom by the other, she raced for the   \nfront door, barely squeezing past her daughter. \"Oh, you're home.\"   \n  \n\"And you're leaving?\" Teal asked, a bit surprised.   \n  \n\"We're going out to have some fun,\" Tom explained.  \n  \nRouge said, \"while we still can... June's home, so... you're not going   \nout with Slate tonight?\"  \n  \n\"No,\" Teal said, \"he's helping back home so I'm sitting out tonight.  \nYou two have a great time, don't worry about us!\" Kissing her  \ndaughter, Rouge led her husband through the door.  \n  \nInside the main hall, Teal kicked off her work boots. She hated them.  \nHer fingerless gloves were tossed aside. She couldn't understand  \nthe concept behind fingerless gloves. Toes stretched, free from the work  \nday as she headed for the kitchen. The container of strawberry yogurt  \ncalled to her like a siren. Grabbing it, digging out a spoon, Teal  \nheaded for her room.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She spotted June on the couch. \"Hi, June...\"   \n  \n\"Didn't hear you come in. They left already.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, I passed them on the way in,\" Teal said. Beginning to walk away,   \nshe stopped. \"Right... JUNE! Um... listen, I-\" Her face turned a bit   \nred.   \n  \n\"Yeah?\" June was interested to hear.  \n  \nBlurting it out, Teal explained, \"I met someone at work you might be  \ninterested in.\"   \n  \n\"Really?\" June's curiosity was held.   \n  \nTeal continued, \"she's seventeen and a bat.\"   \n  \nImpressed, she said, \"another gay bat, what're the odds of that? So...   \nkeep going...\"  \n  \n\"Well, she's a GUN employee but- I think she's a bit goth, too.\"  \n  \n\"How goth?\" June inquired.   \n  \nShe said, \"black fur, dyed a pink streak in it, likes tacky, bright   \njewelry.\"  \n  \n\"Please, that's not goth,\" June shouted out. \"That's barely rave   \nmaterial. So, how'd you find out about this one?\"   \n  \nTurning away, Teal said, \"not important.\"   \n  \nLaughing, June taunted, \"she hit on you, right?\"   \n  \n\"NO!\" Teal didn't want to talk about it. \"Just asked me out  \nand I said I have a boyfriend!\" Pulling out a strip of paper, she  \nwaved it. \"You want this or not?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Fine, geez, don't freak.\" June looked at the paper. \"Phone number?\"  \n  \nTeal handed it over. \"She was interested in a date tonight, so... not   \nlike you have anything better to do.\" Looking at the scribbled  \nnumber, she picked up the phone.  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nThe doorbell rang. And rang. Running for the front door, Teal opened   \nit. \"TEAL! Uh... I didn't know you lived here.\" \"Tiff... June's inside.   \nCome in.\" She led her guest into the living room where June waited.  \n  \nThe two looked each other over. \"I didn't know you had a sister, Teal...\"  \n  \n\"I'm not her sister,\" June corrected.   \n  \n\"Oh... you look a lot alike, so...\" Tiff looked June over carefully.   \n\"Wow... you're, uhh... pretty.\"  \n  \n\"I'm going to leave you to alone, okay? Bye, have fun...\" Teal said,  \nwalking off.   \n  \n\"Teal said you asked her out.\" \"Yeah,\" Tiff replied, \"I didn't mean to   \nfreak her out or anything, but... well, never know 'til you ask   \nsomeone.\"  \n  \nJune smiled. So far she seemed happy. \"You like Night Babylon?\"   \n  \n\"Never been there but I heard it's a bat's city. Uh... is Rouge home?   \nI've been wanting to meet her for a LONG time...\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"She's out with her husband. But... we might run into her, actually. So,   \nwhere do you like to hang out?\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nRouge walked down the streets of Night Babylon, her husband holding her  \nhand. \"We haven't been out like this for a while. Want to go see a   \nmovie?\" Tom asked.   \n  \n\"No,\" she said. \"Back to my place now... I can think of a better way to   \nspend a couple hours than sitting and watching a movie...\"  \n  \nThe streetlights illuminated roadside benches. Rouge spotted a familiar  \nform. \"June! I thought you were home?\"   \n  \n\"Sis, no... I-\"   \n  \nTiff asked, \"Sis?\"   \n  \nJune explained, \"Tiff, Rouge is my sister.\"   \n  \nThe black bat looked up. \"Wow... I woulda thought Rouge would be older   \nthan that...\"  \n  \n\"She is,\" June said, \"she's, uh- older than you need to know, okay?\"  \n  \nRouge spoke, \"I'm only forty, June! It's not THAT old... who's your  \nfriend?\"   \n  \nThe bat stood, grabbing her hand. \"I'm Tiff. I work in the GUN records   \nroom. I've been wanting to meet you for SO long... you're a legend!\"   \n  \n\"Thank you,\" Rouge said, Tiff letting go. \"June never said she had any   \nfriends...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Rouge, dear, I think they're on a date,\" Tom pondered.   \n  \n\"Bingo,\" June shouted out.   \n  \nSmiling, Rouge said, \"of course! I- you two having fun?\"  \n  \n\"June is AWESOME!\" The black bat fluttered her wings, hovering a few inches   \noff the ground.   \n  \nChecking her watch, Rouge muttered, \"well, you can tell me about it   \ntomorrow, okay? I'll let you two get back to your date. Have fun, and   \nbe careful!\"   \n  \nThey watched Rouge walk away with Tom. \"Don't mind sis, I think she's   \njust new to this.\"   \n  \n\"I don't care about that,\" Tiff said. \"She's nice. She's cool with you?  \n\u0026nbsp;So no big deal.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, sis took it well when I told her. So, uh...\" Tiff looked her in   \nthe eyes. \"You wanna stay out some more?\" Without a word, June took her   \nhand.   \n  \nSqueezing back, Tiff replied, \"I have tomorrow off, so... sure!\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nThe door the casino apartment slammed shut, Rouge clicking the locks  \nin place. In a quick leap, she sprang forward, tacking Tom to the couch.  \nKissing deep, she stopped only long enough to breathe. \"Date's over.  \nFun's just started. And I'm not even wearing any panties...\" she   \nsaid, smiling.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You're not- you mean you were walking around all night with your-\"   \n  \nShe shook her head, an evil grin on her face. Jumping to the floor,   \nRouge slowly slipped the heels off and unzipped the back of her dress,   \nletting it fall loose to reveal her nude body.  \n  \nStraddling Tom, she messed with the buttons of his shirt, throwing aside  \nhis tie. \"I like being naked around you. Makes me feel young...\"   \npulling his shirt open, she asked, \"you want to be naked around me?\"  \nUnzipping him, she pulled his pants off. \"Look at you, not quite but   \nyou're in the mood.\"   \n  \n\"I haven't had dinner yet. I want to eat something before we do that,\"   \nhe said, inviting her to stand over him. Feet on the cushions, Rouge   \nplaced her muff in his face, pulling one leg up onto the top edge of   \nthe couch to spread herself.  \n  \nGrabbing her leg for support, Tom began to lick, his other hand gently  \ntickling her tail. Feeling dirty, he let a finger free to tickle her   \nass hole. Unable to help herself, she laughed out loud. \"TOM! That's  \nvery ticklish back there!\" He continued tickling her as he licked.   \n\"But damn, does it feel good!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Moaning and laughing, Rouge couldn't help but orgasm, a slight stream   \nspraying Tom's face. \"You need a new title,\" he said. \"Ejaculation  \nqueen sound good?\"   \n  \nGrinning, she slid down, gently easing his dick inside  \nof her. \"I'm not going to ride you, Tom, I just want to make out. Let  \nfriction do the rest.\"   \n  \n\"Sounds good,\" he said, \"but I am going to tickle your feet.\"   \n  \n\"Wonderful,\" she responded, leaning in, taking him by the lips. The   \ntongues practically wrapped around each other.  \n  \nShe winced as he began running a finger gently over the bottom of her   \nfoot. Continuing her kisses, she enjoyed the sensation. She liked being  \ntickled. It always seemed to enhance her pleasure when she was making  \nlove.  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty two years, seven months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nLunch break.  \n  \nSitting at one of many empty tables in the cafeteria, Teal sucked down  \nher beef jerky, one of the few pleasures she ever found in the vending   \nmachines. She'd been carrying out menial tasks around the building  \nall day and her feet hurt.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"TEAL!\"  \n  \nShe turned in her seat to see Tiff headed her way. \"Wow, you look...  \nawful,\" Teal greeted.   \n  \n\"Yeah, my building lost water last night. I had to boil water and scrub   \ndown in the kitchen this morning.\"   \n  \nTeal, curious, asked, \"wow, what happened?\"   \n  \n\"I don't know, a few pipes in the basement broke I think.\"   \n  \nTeal thought something odd. She asked, \"how'd you boil water if you   \ndon't have any?\"   \n  \n\"Oh, everyone in my apartment building was making runs on the nearby   \nstores for water bottles and jugs. Man, that stuff costs a FORTUNE! I   \nstocked up for a while.\"  \n  \nGrunting, Teal stretched out her wings. \"I've been over every inch of  \nGUN HQ today at least three times and it's not even NOON yet!\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, we've been busy what with that terrorist attack in Station Square   \ntoday. I had to cancel my date with June tonight, they have me pulling a   \ndouble shift! Guess it's just as well, I don't have running water at   \nhome...\"  \n  \n\"Terrorist attack?\" Teal hadn't heard.   \n  \n\"Well, maybe not the word for it, but it was a big bank robbery. Thieves   \nkilled a lot of people. Heard that Sonic guy was helping deal with the   \nhard stuff and I know Agent Shadow is in the field. You... really hadn't   \nheard?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Slamming her beef jerky bag down, she said, \"I've been delivering things  \nfrom one office to another. I don't read what they give me, I'm never  \nsure if my security clearance is high enough or not... and I've been  \nthinking about what to get mom and dad next week.\"  \n  \n\"Right, June said their anniversary is next week! Guess you'll have a   \nparty and all that! Hmm... I think I have appropriate clothes for  \nthat kinda thing...\"   \n  \n\"You're coming?\" Teal wasn't too surprised, though the girl's usual rave   \nclothing wouldn't mesh well with a formal affair.  \n  \n\"Wouldn't miss it!\"   \n  \n\"So, uh... you and my aunt have been getting along well.\" Teal tried to  \navoid asking anything too personal.   \n  \nIn a cheery voice, Tiff said, \"June is great! Thank you for introducing   \nme to her! She's been wonderful, and she's really fun to be with, just   \nso... don't take this the wrong way, but I've looked up to Rouge- your   \nmother, for years. She's why I joined GUN. And to be dating her sister,   \nit's just so... but don't get me wrong, June's got a LOT of unique   \nqualities that I like!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She could see Teal was a bit uncomfortable. \"Uh... Teal? What's wrong?\"  \n  \n\"Nothing,\" she responded, \"I just- well... it's great that you're  \ngetting along with her so well, but, uh... if you and her are doing  \nanything in private, please, I don't need to know. It's none of my   \nbusiness...\"   \n  \nLaughing, Tiff said, \"don't worry. June and I haven't- we're not   \nintimate, okay?\"  \n  \nDefensive, Teal said, \"Don't get the wrong idea! It's not because you're  \nboth girls, I just... what people do in private is their business.  \nI keep out of mom and dad's business, and-\"   \n  \n\"Gotcha. OH! Break time's up! Talk with you later, Teal!\" Running off,   \nTiff left Teal alone to finish her meal. Break time WAS almost up, but   \nshe was going to spend every last second of it.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe front mansion door opened. Teal was home from work. Kicking off  \nher work boots, all she wanted to do was wash, change, and get ready  \nfor her date. \"Teal,\" Rouge greeted. \"Listen, Slate called and...\"  \n  \n\"I heard the news. Knuckles helped with that big thing in Station  \nSquare today.\" Teal was disappointed, but understood.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Knuckles has two broken ribs.\" Rouge didn't want to let her little girl   \ndown but this was the way it had to be today. Patting her daughter on   \nthe shoulder, she said, \"why not see if June wants to do anything since   \nyou'll both be free.\"   \n  \nTeal asked, \"what about you and dad?\" \"Your father went to Station Square   \ntoday. He's going to donate to aid in the repairs. When he gets back he's   \ntaking me out again!\"  \n  \nHeaded towards her room, she saw the door to June's standing open.  \nThe girl was laying on her bed, reading. \"Teal, hi.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, guess Tiff called you earlier.\"   \n  \n\"No big deal,\" June commented. \"She's busy at work, so I'm gonna work on   \nmy reading. I still have a bit to go but at least I know how to read   \nnow.\"  \n  \n\"Slate canceled,\" Teal said. \"Knuckles got two broken ribs today so  \nSlate's gotta stay home and help.\"   \n  \n\"Damn,\" June remarked, \"they can't just put that in a cast, either.\"   \n  \n\"Listen...\" Teal paused. \"I still need to get mom and dad their gift.   \nYou wanna go with and help me find something good?\"   \n  \nClosing her book, she replied, \"love to.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nNuzzling her husband, Rouge hugged tight. \"Bad day?\"   \n  \n\"Those thieves did a number on Station Square, that's all I know...   \nprofessionals. Explosives... they blew that bank apart for the cash and   \nmade a mess of their escape route.\" Tom sighed. \"I talked to Sonic. He   \nsaid these guys killed at least fifty people. Everyone in the bank, no   \nhostages, just awful... I donated ten mil to the rebuilding fund but   \nthat's not going to make a real dent. They hit the railway pretty bad   \nwith a rocket, not to count all the people...\"  \n  \nRouge kept her shirt on. No doubt Tom wasn't in the mood after what he's  \nseen today. \"You ever get involved in stuff like that when you were  \nstill with GUN?\"   \n  \nShe replied, \"sometimes it could get bad.\" Kissing him, Rouge leaned him   \nback. \"Cuddle?\" Pulling her arm over him, he squeezed her hand tight.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nOne Week Later  \n  \n  \n\"Shadow!\" Teal was surprised to see him in the GUN break room. \"You're  \ncoming to the party tonight, right?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yes, I'll be there.\" Shadow was never one for random conversation.   \n  \n\"You can't just show up, Shadow, you DID get them a gift, didn't you?\"   \n  \nHe replied, \"yes, I did. I'll-\"  \n  \nHe went silent as something smacked against his head. \"SORRY!\" the voice  \ncalled out.   \n  \nPicking up the object, Teal recognized the phone. She looked over to see   \nTiff, visibly upset. \"Shadow! I'll deal with this!\"  \n  \n\"But she-\"   \n  \n\"I'll tell mom if you don't let me deal with this! She didn't mean to   \nhit you with her phone!\" Relenting, Shadow walked away.  \n  \nRunning over to Tiff, she asked, \"what's going on?\"   \n  \n\"I'm being kicked out of my apartment!\"   \n  \nTeal was a bit surprised. \"Why?\"   \n  \nTiff said, \"the rent's doubling for everyone. They SAY it's to cover   \nrenovation costs, but one of my neighbors just told me it's their excuse   \nto kick out the poorer tenants and make room for people with money! I   \ngotta find a new place to crash now...\"  \n  \n\"So I guess you'll be apartment hunting tonight then...\" Teal understood.  \n  \n\"What? No way! I can do that tomorrow! besides, I haven't seen June in  \na week and...\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Right, tell you what,\" Teal offered, \"I'll put in a few inquiries and   \nsee what I can do for you...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe party was lively, except for Knuckles, who stood in place. \"Karen!   \nKnuckles!\" Rouge greeted. Knuckles was wrapped in bandages, his chest   \nstill in pain.   \n  \n\"Rouge! Listen, Knuckles can't talk, his ribs are still REAL sore. But   \nhe's moving around,\" Karen said, Knuckles giving a thumbs up.  \n  \nTeal grabbed Slate's hand. \"Dad doing okay?\"   \n  \n\"Yeah,\" Slate replied, \"he was able to come. Guess dad's not made of   \nrubber like he used to be and took a beating this time.\"   \n  \n\"From what dad told us,\" Teal said, \"he's probably lucky he only got a   \ncouple of broken ribs...\"  \n  \nSonic found Shadow at the buffet table. \"Surprised you showed up.\"  \n  \n\"I showed up to give my respect to Rouge and her family, Sonic.\" Shadow  \ndisplayed the typical emotional state he always did.\"   \n  \nSonic continued, \"things were going well between you two but I've   \nnoticed something's changed.\"   \n  \nShadow collected his plate. \"It was something Rouge said. She's getting   \nolder and I don't age. If we'd become a couple back then it wouldn't   \nhave worked out. I will watch all of you age and die eventually.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Wow... kind of a downer attitude, Shadow...\" Sonic wasn't sure what  \nto say.   \n  \n\"Hmm... perhaps I shouldn't think about that now. I'll try and   \nsocialize.\" Shadow walked away.   \n  \nMiles joined him, collecting food for himself. \"I think Shadow's hiding   \nsomething,\" he commented.  \n  \n\"Hiding what?\" Sonic asked.   \n  \nTails responded, \"not a clue. Nothing bad, but I get the feeling he did   \nsomething to piss Rouge off. Strange, I also get the feeling she tried   \nto make things right but he still feels sorry about it. She invited him   \nbut he's not in the mood to really be here...\"  \n  \nSonic, surprised, asked, \"you got all that from watching him?\"   \n  \n\"Hey, it's Shadow,\" Tails remarked, \"you pickup on his subtle attitude   \nchanges over time.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe party was over, the clock late, the guests gone. Collecting her  \npurse, Tiff headed for the door. \"Tiff?\" It was Rouge. \"Teal told me  \nabout what happened today.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, real kick in the ass for me but I'm sure I can manage. Great   \nparty, by the way!\"   \n  \nRouge put a hand on the girl's shoulder. \"Please, come with me...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She led Tiff into the living room. \"Tiff, June, how serious are you  \nabout each other?\" The two girls looked at each other, blushing.   \n  \n\"I think that means,\" Tom said, \"that they like each other.\"   \n  \n\"June...\" Rouge paused to build up the anticipation. \"Would you like it   \nif Tiff moved in?\"  \n  \n\"Oh, no, I couldn't do that,\" Tiff shouted, \"I couldn't make you put  \nup with me like that... but, uh...\" She looked her girlfriend in the   \neyes. \"Well...\"   \n  \n\"I'd like it a lot, Tiff,\" June said, taking her hand.  \n  \n\"Uh...\" Teal muttered.   \n  \nJune asked, \"what? Not like you don't get a bit cuddly with Slate!\"   \n  \nTiff smiled. \"Okay... but, uh... I couldn't ask you to just take me in.   \nI can pay rent.\"   \n  \nTom explained, \"I don't need rent money. Right now we're using ten   \npercent of the total living space in this place. It costs money to   \nmaintain the rooms we don't use. You'd actually be helping offset the   \ncosts by moving in. This place was built to house a large family and   \nservants. Four people is wasting room. And there's something else...\"  \n  \nRouge spoke up, \"we could use an extra person around to help out in the  \ncoming months, and I'd rather it be someone the family trusts and  \nsomeone that- well, Tiff, my sister likes you and I want her to be  \nhappy. So...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Help out?\" Teal asked. \"Help with what?\"  \n  \nRouge cleared her throat. \"I'm going to need help and your father will  \nneed as much as he can get. Teal... I'm pregnant.\"  \n  \n\"Sis? For real?\" June was amazed. \"That's.. great!\"   \n  \n\"Mom! When?\" Teal begged.   \n  \nShe answered, \"I just found out today. I was going to announce it at the   \nparty, but then you told me about Tiff's problems and I talked it over   \nwith Tom...\"   \n  \n\"I thought we should let the family know first,\" he explained, \"and   \nbesides, if Tiff and June are that into each other... well, she's family.   \nWe'll help you get your stuff tomorrow so you can move in. Now, then...   \nTiff, you can either pick a room, or stay in June's room, depends on   \nwhat she wants.\"  \n  \n\"Wait... you'd be cool with us in the same room?\" June was a bit shocked.  \n  \n\"Look, I don't care WHAT you two are up to, it's not my business and  \nI'm not poking into it.\" Tom clarified, \"you don't butt into what we're  \ndoing and we don't butt into your personal stuff.\"   \n  \nLeaning over, June said, \"it means they'll knock on the door to make   \nsure we're decent!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff was ready to cry, she was so happy. \"Rouge, I...\"   \n  \n\"I know, your idol just offered you something nice.\" Rouge smiled.   \n\"Take it and enjoy, but remember, I'll need help, this isn't a free   \nplace to stay!\"  \n  \nTom piped up, \"you three have no idea. At least, this time, I'll have  \nsome real help. Not just when someone stops by.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty two years, eight months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nPaint cans popped open. The edges were taped over. Dressed in old clothes,  \nthe three began work. June poured pink paint into roller pans as Tiff  \nscrewed the wooden handles into the rollers. Each grabbed a paint roller,  \ndipping them, and working on their assigned walls. \"You two CAN go off  \nand do something else,\" Tom said.   \n  \n\"I'm not gonna freeload,\" June responded, working eagerly. \"It's no big   \ndeal. Tiff, we gonna do my room later?\"  \n  \n\"OOH! Yeah, but, uh... I was thinking if we had some of the pink left  \nover... and do some bits in black to match my hair... you mind if I go  \nwild, Mr. Adriani? Uh... it is your house, so..\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom paused. \"My grandfather would be pissed if someone painted a wall  \nin this place like a nightclub.\" He turned. \"So do whatever you want.  \nThey're not here anymore. But for now... a pink room for a baby girl.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge put groceries away. Tom would be busy with the baby's room,  \nshe should at least stay as active as possible until the baby grew  \ntoo big to do such things. Teal grabbed bags, lending a hand. \"Mom...\"  \n  \n\"Yes, dear?\"   \n  \nTeal stated, \"you're only one month but your stomach looks a LITTLE   \nbig... you haven't been putting away a few extra snacks, have you?\"  \n  \nAngry, she shouted, \"Teal, I would never pig out like that! I'm not-\"  \nHer voice went silent as she caught her reflection in the shiny black  \nsurface of the fridge door. \"Well... I KNOW I haven't let myself go...  \nmaybe it's the muscle I've put on over the years?\"  \n  \nTeal began to panic. \"That's not muscle...\" Running, she halted at the  \nbaby's room. \"DAD! It's mom...\"   \n  \n\"WHAT?\" he shouted.   \n  \nTiff and June dropped their paint rollers.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge stepped into the doorway. \"Teal's panicking. I'm sure it's nothing   \nto worry about!\"   \n  \n\"MOM... look at your belly, it's too big!\"  \n  \nTom looked down. He agreed, it was too large. \"We're going to the  \nhospital!\"   \n  \n\"Tom, an appointment would take forever!\"   \n  \nGrabbing her hand, he led her gently to the front door. \"Then we make   \nthem see us now!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe three teenagers sat in the living room, all worried. \"I-\" Teal  \nseemed the worst affected. \"If mom loses this baby it'll ruin her...\"  \n  \n\"She's not going to lose that kid! One thing about me, her and mom,  \nwe're all tough girls and handled a LOT of crap.\" June hid her concern  \nwell, but deep down she was just as worried.  \n  \nTiff looked ready to cry. \"Rouge the Bat was a good GUN agent and she's  \nstill a good person. She took me in when I needed a place to live...\"  \n  \nThey heard the front door open. Bolting upright, the three girls  \nwatched Tom march into the living room, taking a seat. He seemed to be  \na zombie. \"DAD!\" Teal shouted.   \n  \n\"No... please tell me her baby's okay...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n\"It is, Tiff!\" Rouge walked in, smiling. A collective sigh was heard.  \n  \nJune said, \"that's good to hear, sis... so, why's Tom in another   \ndimension?\"  \n  \nStanding behind his chair, she reached down to rub his chest. \"It's   \ntwins!\"   \n  \n\"You mean...\" Teal took her father's hand, trying to snap  \nhim back to reality.   \n  \n\"Let him be, Teal, he needs some time to let it soak in.\"   \n  \n\"You mean he'll be okay?\" Tiff asked, a bit concerned.  \n  \n\"Well, I'm not sure I'd say THAT...\" Rouge commented, her arms   \nembracing him. \"He went through a LOT of stress when Teal was on  \nthe way.\"   \n  \nTom squeezed her hand. \"I'm okay now... Teal, thanks for spotting that.   \nProbably better we found out early.\"  \n  \n\"Tell you what,\" June said. \"We'll finish painting, you get some   \nrest, okay?\"   \n  \n\"I'll help,\" Teal offered.   \n  \n\"No, Teal, that's okay. You help them, okay?\" June's eyes spelled it   \nout. She wanted to be alone with Tiff.   \n  \n\"Right... dad, I'll get you a glass of orange juice.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe paint rollers worked the walls. \"I am SO glad nothing was wrong  \nwith that baby- well, guess it's babies now!\" Tiff shouted.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;June was relieved. \"Yeah, I don't know if I coulda stood to see  \nsis let down if it was. I mean... then there's Teal and Tom, I don't  \nknow what it woulda done to them.\"  \n  \nTiff's eyes caught June's. \"Guess babies aren't something we'll ever  \nhave to worry about...\" She was a bit let down.   \n  \n\"Tiff, just 'cause were lesbians doesn't mean we don't have the parts.\"   \nJune took her hand. \"I- what I mean is they can fertilize eggs in labs.   \nI read about it.\"  \n  \nBlinking, Tiff said, \"yeah... maybe someday. June...\" Without a word,  \nshe gave June a light kiss on the lips. \"Eh... maybe we should get back  \nto work?\" Giggling, June grabbed the paint roller. \"Not like we don't  \ndo that enough already...\"  \n  \n\"Or sleep in the same bed...\"   \n  \nTiff was smiling. \"I- I didn't mean that we-\"   \n  \n\"I know,\" June said. \"Just because we're not having sex yet doesn't   \nmean we can't be affectionate! Not like sis waited before hitting the  \nbed with Tom.\"   \n  \n\"JUNE! That was different...\" Tiff became defensive of her idol. \"He   \nalmost DIED!\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, I forget that sometimes... I just don't wanna rush this. If I do   \none thing right in my life, I wanna make this work!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"OH! June, they have an opening at work in the records room! You could   \nhelp me in the dungeon! Wouldn't be so boring!\" Tiff seemed eager at   \nthe possibility.   \n  \n\"Me? But...\" she hesitated. \"You know I'm not reading  \ntoo good yet. Anyway, sis needs me around here.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah... good point. June, about your reading...\" Tiff said, \"you're   \ngetting a LOT better at it. I'll help you, okay? Some day you can work   \nwith me in the records room.\"  \n  \n\"That sounds good,\" June commented. \"Listen, after we get done, wanna  \ngo out?\"   \n  \nTiff smiled. \"Sounds great!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge stretched, leaned back on the sofa. \"You okay?\" she asked.   \n  \n\"Yeah,\" Tom responded. \"Just...\"   \n  \n\"Worried to death? I know. Don't be, okay?\" She held his hands, rubbing   \nhis wedding ring to hers. \"I made it through one kid, I'll make it   \nthrough two more, Tom.\"  \n  \nThey watched Teal lead Slate into the house. \"Teal? I thought you  \nwere going out tonight?\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, going out usually means going OUT,\" Tom commented. \"You haven't   \nleft yet? We're fine here, you go out and have fun!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Change of plans,\" Teal explained.   \n  \n\"Yeah, I offered to help her sort through her old baby stuff.\" Slate   \nstood proud. \"Anyway, dad's ribs healed fine so I'm free again, but   \nTeal told me you're having twins so I thought I'd offer to help, too.\"   \n  \n\"Thank you, Slate,\" Rouge said, impressed by the boy's genuine attitude.   \nThey watched the two walk off.  \n  \n\"I think Teal did good hooking up with him,\" Tom said. \"He's got a good  \nsense of honor.\"   \n  \nRouge responded, \"he gets it from his father.\" Thinking, she added,   \n\"thought he does seem to make better use of it at times.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty two years, eleven months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"Morning, birthday girl!\"  \n  \nTeal rolled out of bed. \"One more hour, please...\"   \n  \n\"Come on, Teal, sis wants to have a party for you today and you KNOW   \neveryone's gonna show up.\" June opened the curtains, Teal's eyes   \nflinching from the sun. \"Anyway, she's got that doctor appointment today   \nand you should be there for her.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Right, mom's getting her checkup on the twins today. Hope they're  \nstill doing fine!\" Shaking off sleep, Teal stood.   \n  \nJune said, \"those babies in her will be fine. Better be.\" Reaching for   \nher work clothes, Teal paused. It was Saturday. No work. \"Tiff's out   \nfinding you a gift. After we get that done at the clinic I'm gonna go   \nbuy you a cake. You like anything special?\"  \n  \n\"Huh? Oh... lemon cake if you can find one.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nButtoning her shirt, Rouge was pleased. Her two babies were doing  \nfine, although the strain of having two of them inside her was already  \ntaking its toll on her body. She was eating heavily and already had the  \nclothes dragged out that she should be wearing in the later months.   \nAt the very least, she'd found pregnancy clothes made in her size that  \ncould accommodate twins.  \n  \nTom, however, suspected he should get a wheelchair in case she needed   \nit. Rouge thought the idea unnecessary. Opening the door for her,  \nTom led her into the waiting room. \"They're doing just fine.\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Good to hear, sis,\" June said.   \n  \n\"Now, Teal... you have a birthday party to get ready for!\" Rouge   \ncommented, hugging her daughter.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nAmy bent down, patting Rouge's stomach. \"Amy, they're babies, not a  \ngood luck stone!\"   \n  \n\"Right... shouldn't slap at it so hard,\" she said, gently rubbing.   \n\"Sonic would've come but the boys are both sick. But I thought I'd show   \nup anyway, since it is Teal's seventeenth.\"  \n  \n\"I didn't invite too many people, I didn't want to drag this out.  \nTeal probably wants to go on a date anyway.\" Rouge made a neat stack of  \nempty gift boxes.   \n  \nKaren watched her daughter tie the loose ribbons into neat bows. \"Tom   \ndoing okay? I know he kinda had trouble last kid you had, you know.\"   \n  \n\"He's doing fine,\" Rouge said. \"Or... better than he did before. Huh...  \ncan you two help me up?\" They both took her hands.   \n  \n\"Bathroom?\" Amy asked.   \n  \n\"You know it!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom sat, Knuckles looking out the window. \"Teal's growing up good.   \nI think Slate's gonna stick with her.\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yeah, she's been a good kid all these years. Mostly responsible. A real   \nhandful as a baby...\" Tom responded, thinking back to when Teal learned   \nhow to fly. \"Now I have two more on the way.\"  \n  \n\"That's gonna be painful,\" Knuckles commented, \"I mean, I had two  \ncracked ribs, it hurt to breathe for a while, but... childbirth, wow...\"  \n  \nTom wasn't listening. \"I'm forty-three... when these little girls turn   \neighteen, I'll be... they'll be born near my birthday, I guess, so when   \nthey turn eighteen I'll be sixty-four years old.\"  \n  \n\"Oh... I never thought about THAT. Karen and me are gonna stick at three.  \nBut... wow, you'll be grandparents before they become adults.\"  \n  \n\"If I live that long,\" Tom said, a bit sad. \"If either of us do.\"  \n  \n\"Don't say that! You take care of yourself, you work out... and you  \nwere able to deal with Rouge in her wilder days. She could be a REAL  \ntrial to deal with back then... I mean... hey, I had to guard the  \nMaster Emerald! She...\" Knuckles was overly defensive. \"... it wasn't   \nhers to have. I did what I had to do.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom said, \"I don't want to think about this anymore right now... so,  \nabout that big mess in Station Square...\"   \n  \n\"Yeah, I was there on business for the island when I got caught in the   \nmiddle of it.\" Proud of his contribution, he said, \"I did what I had to   \ndo to help stop that!\"  \n  \n\"Right,\" Tom muttered. \"I didn't get to go into the gunfire. Never  \ndid. But at least people like me are around to fund the cleanup.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal led Victoria into the living room. \"Vic! Didn't think you'd  \nmake it!\"   \n  \n\"Ted couldn't find a babysitter so I had to watch his little boy for   \na bit. Wow, you look... big!\" Vic said, laughing. \"Oh, Teal, your gift!\"   \n  \n\"Thank you,\" the girl said, leaving her mother alone with her old   \nfriend.   \n  \n\"You doing good, Boss?\"   \n  \nRouge replied, \"of course. Just strained... and my feet hurt. My back   \nhurts...\"   \n  \nTaking a seat, Vic blurted out, \"Boss, you know that I won't be able to   \nrun the casino floor forever.... I think it's time I train my   \nreplacement.\"  \n  \n\"You have someone in mind?\" she asked.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Vic answered, \"not yet. But I have a small list of employees I want to   \ntry, find the one that'll best be suited to the job and train them.   \nIt'll take a few years so I want to get an early start.\"   \n  \n\"Vic,\" Rouge said, \"you were running that place before I owned it.   \nBefore the scumbag crime lord I arrested was sent away for life. You   \nknow what's best for that place, so I trust you.\"  \n  \n\"Tom here?\" Vic asked. She hadn't seen him.   \n  \n\"He's taking a quick nap. I thought I'd let him get some rest. I'm   \ncarrying two kids, he's worrying for two people.\"   \n  \n\"Great. Anyway, I need to get back to the floor for the night shift   \ntonight. I'll stop by when I get time away and see how you're doing,   \nokay?\"   \n  \n\"Sounds good, Vic,\" the bat said.  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty three years, two months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge found it hard to walk, but she did so as if her life depended  \non it. Her arms wrapped around June, giving her sister a light kiss on  \nthe cheek. \"Happy birthday!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You remembered...\" June felt warm inside. No one had ever celebrated  \nher birthday before, or even brought it up. \"But you shouldn't be  \nwalking around like this, sis.\"   \n  \n\"I'm fine. I wanted to give you your present.\" She handed June a stack   \nof books.   \n  \n\"Romance books?\" June was a bit confused. \"Uh... these are guy on girl   \nstuff, aren't they?\"  \n  \n\"These are special books, June. I wrote them.\"   \n  \nJune saw the author's photo on the back of all three books. \"But that's  \na human, sis!\"   \n  \nRouge explained, \"they were released under a different name. Tom and I   \ndidn't want the media attention. I stopped writing when Teal was born...   \nor, we both stopped writing.\"  \n  \n\"Both? You mean he wrote these with you? Uh... sis, how hardcore are  \nthese?\"   \n  \n\"What, you're not disgusted by a guy sleeping with a woman, are you?\"   \nRouge smirked.   \n  \nShe replied, \"I AM a lesbian... but I have been a bit curious about it.   \nYou sure I'm old enough?\"  \n  \n\"You're old enough to know,\" Rouge said. \"You'll be doing it with Tiff  \nsomeday so you may as well learn about this stuff now!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh...\" June's face turned red. \"We, uh...\" Taking her hand, Rouge tried   \nto let her know that she understood. \"We didn't do it yet!\" June shouted   \ndefensively. \"We just... I grabbed her boob the other day.\"   \n  \n\"Really? And?\" Rouge seemed to be butting in.   \n  \n\"I think she liked it...\" June responded.  \n  \n\"Then you're ready to read these.\"  \n  \n\"And I think you're ready for a wheelchair, sis. Look at you!\" June  \nwas concerned. Rouge was big and only two months from delivery.   \n\"Seriously, sis, don't overdo anything!\" Helping her sister sit down,  \nshe picked up the books. \"Guess Tiff's going to work now, so I'll  \nstart on the first one while she's out.\"  \n  \n\"Hey, cheer up birthday girl!\" Tiff shouted, running towards her.  \n\"I'll be back this afternoon!\" Kissing June, she waked off. Teal   \nwaited by the door, dressed in her work clothes. Once outside, the  \ntwo bats flew off. \"Teal, I need'ta get June a present!\"   \n  \n\"What budget you have for a gift?\" Teal asked.   \n  \nShe responded, \"well, not paying rent's allowed me to save up a LOT of   \nextra cash, so... okay, what does she like?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hmm...\" Teal thought. \"Mostly mom and you, I guess. She's never been  \none for small talk.\"   \n  \n\"Your mom's big on jewels and stuff, so maybe June would like them, too!   \nTeal, can you help me go shopping after work?\" The look in Tiff's eyes   \nseemed to beg.   \n  \n\"Yeah, guess so. If they don't keep me for a late shift, anyway!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nWandering outside, June headed for the old storage shed near the  \nriver at the edge of the manor grounds, past the fruit fields. Inside,  \nshe found Thomas sorting through various odds and ends. \"Whoa! Where'd  \nthis ugly thing come from?\" she asked, puzzled about the origins of the  \nsmall vehicle in Rouge's likeness.  \n  \n\"That... is something she wanted to keep. I don't know where she got it,  \nor how, but she wanted to keep this ugly thing. It's a car... I think.\"  \n  \n\"And this?\" she asked, gripping the large board.   \n  \n\"The Temptation,\" he responded, \"her... what was it? Right, Extreme   \nGear. Those flying hoverboards used in races. I think she wants to   \nenter one again. Said after the twins get old enough and she's in shape.   \nI never wanted to try one of those things... I like having my legs   \nunbroken.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Otherwise the shed was full of old tools and such, most of which had no  \nreal value. \"I think it's time half this crap got sent off for  \nrecycling. I remember using some of this as a kid, when this was still  \na winery. Don't need it now.\"  \n  \n\"Sis gave me those books she wrote.\"   \n  \n\"And?\" he asked.   \n  \nShe said, \"...wow. If thats based on what you two do, I mean... damn!   \nI'm a lesbo and some of it even made me tingle...\"  \n  \n\"I'm not sure I want to discuss that stuff,\" he said.   \n  \nShe apologized, \"sorry... still, if even some of that is based on truth   \nI think sis did good marrying you. Listen, I- my dad was a good guy but   \nI only knew him a few years before he kicked off. I just wanna know I   \ncan come to you if I need to. Especially about sex. Sis has kind of a   \nlight nature about the subject.\"  \n  \n\"I wouldn't call it THAT, but... she does enjoy it. Not sure I can  \ntell you much, since you-\"   \n  \n\"Don't date men? Yeah... and, hey, I know you let Tiff live here for me.   \nNot to catch a quick peek at us or somethin'. That means a lot to me.\"   \nSmiling, June closed her eyes.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;He said, \"Rouge is the only woman I've had sex with and she'll BE   \nthe only woman I have sex with. I don't need some girl less than half  \nmy age to feel good.\"  \n  \nTaking a step down to the floor, an echo rung in her ears. \"You hear  \nthat?\"   \n  \nHe asked, \"hear what?\"   \n  \n\"Right, human ears...\" She stomped the floor. \"This spot's hollow!\"   \n  \nTurning, Tom looked down. Dropping to his knees, he tapped the metal   \npanel. \"It IS hollow... hand me that crowbar!\" Taking it, he jabbed it   \ninto the seam and pried upward. Underneath the floor sat five wooden   \nboxes. \"I don't believe it...\" he mouthed, lifting one out.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe front door slammed. Tiff carried the small gift while Teal quickly  \nchecked the bandage on her arm. Spotting her daughter's injury,  \nRouge shouted, \"TEAL!\"   \n  \n\"Mom... ever seen an automated spy and attack robot made to look like a   \nstandard garbage pail?\" Stunned, Rouge's eyes widened. \"WELL I HAVE!   \nSomeone snuck one into GUN HQ today. Took us an hour to neutralize it.   \nThing had a small turret built in. Bullet grazed my arm.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I was sealed off from the action,\" Tiff explained. \"Protocol. Seal off  \nall confidential files in the event of an attack. Means they lock the  \ndoors!\"   \n  \n\"Wasn't a total loss,\" Teal added, \"I did get some heavy weapons training   \ntoday. I need a burger...\" Tired, she ran for the kitchen.  \n  \nTiff squeezed the present. \"June in?\"  \n  \n\"I am now,\" she said, helping Tom wheel in the cart. \"Damn thing's   \nHEAVY!\"   \n  \n\"What's that?\" Rouge asked, waddling forward.   \n  \n\"Okay, YOU need a wheelchair,\" Tom scolded, opening a nearby cabinet.   \nPulling out the metal frame, it unfolded.   \n  \n\"Didn't even ask me before you bought it... but you're right.\" Tom   \nrolled it to her, helping her sit. \"That takes a LOT off my feet...\"   \n  \nBending down to kiss her, he said, \"your sister found five cases of old   \nwine hidden in the old shed.\"  \n  \nHolding one of the bottles up, June displayed it. Tom commented, \"one  \nfrom my grandfather's vintage. One of those just sold for about five   \nhundred thousand.\"   \n  \n\"Wow, that's a LOT of money for wine!\" Tiff remarked, eyes wide.   \n  \n\"It's not just the wine, it's the family name, too,\" Thomas said. \"But   \nthat's not my concern. I think we'll keep this stuff stored away and let   \nbottles of it out for auction every few years. Stuff should be good,   \ntoo, that compartment was air tight and cool.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh! June... here!\" Tiff said gleefully.   \n  \n\"Me? Wow...\" Taking the package, she unwrapped it to find a necklace   \nwith a green gemstone set inside of a fine gold casing.   \n  \n\"OOH! Very nice!\" Rouge said, impressed by it.  \n  \nJune was amazed. \"You didn't-\"   \n  \n\"I DID!\" Tiff said, cutting her off. \"Go on...\" Without argument, June   \nplaced it around her neck.  \n  \n\"Looks very pretty! So... June... wanna go out and celebrate?\"   \n  \nGrabbing Tiff's hand, June said, \"Nah... I got some books. You wanna   \nread them with me?\"   \n  \nCuriously, she inquired, \"what kinda book?\"   \n  \n\"You'll see...\" June's eyes told enough. Taking her hand, June led her   \ngirlfriend off to their room.  \n  \n\"Tiff doesn't know what she's in for...\" Rising from the wheelchair,  \nshe sat beside her husband. \"Thanks for the wheelchair.\"   \n  \n\"The twins'll be here soon. Time flies...\" He thought quietly for a  \nmoment, finally saying, \"but there are times I wish it could just   \nstop...\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty three years, eight months have passed  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe twins slept in their crib, two small babies silent for the moment.  \nTiff sat, reading, watching them. She'd let Rouge or Tom know when  \nthey woke up.  \n  \nIn the home gym, Rouge jogged on the treadmill, keeping a steady pace.  \nThe bat was getting old and she'd gained considerable weight during  \nher pregnancy, but had managed to work almost all of it off in  \nspare moments, between Teal, June and Tiff taking turns watching the  \ntwins to let her have time.   \n  \n\"Rouge, babies crying!\" came over the intercom. Refusing to waste  \neven seconds making a response, she ran through the mansion.  \n  \n\"Feeding time. Okay, which one...\" The twins wore name bracelets at all   \ntimes. \"Violette... come here,\" she said as she lifted the child gently.   \nAs practiced, June removed a bottle of breast milk from the cooler and   \nplaced it in the bottle warmer. One would have to be breast fed, the   \nother bottle. While it was technically true that women have two breasts,   \nRouge found that trying to hold two children upright to feed at once was   \nphysically impossible without help.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;It was easier to feed the other one with a bottle.  \n  \nTiff turned away, allowing Rouge a bit of privacy to lift up her sports  \nbra and place the child to her to feed. Testing the bottle temperature,  \nTiff removed it and collected the second child. \"Rose, bottle time.  \nPlease, stop crying, I have food...!\"  \n  \n\"She's four months old, dear.\"   \n  \n\"I know, but... I think babies can understand us,\" Tiff said, placing   \nthe rubber nipple in the child's mouth.   \n  \n\"I know this is killing your socializing time,\" Rouge said.   \n  \nTiff responded, \"nah. Since we got new employees down in the basement,  \nthe Commander said I could have more time off since I'd be helping you.  \nAnd it's not like I'll be having a baby of my own... anyway, they  \nshould be back from the store soon.\"  \n  \nTom had run to the grocery store, Teal and June assisting him, leaving  \nRouge and Tiff alone with the infants. Curious, Rouge asked, \"Tiff...  \nI noticed you keep shying away when I feed my kids. If it's bugging you,  \nyou don't have to stay in the room with me.\"   \n  \n\"Uh...\" her face turned red. \"It's- it's not that...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I think I understand now,\" Rouge said. \"You're not looking because you   \nWANT to look?\"   \n  \n\"AH! NO! I...\" Fully embarrassed, Tiff began to stutter.  \n  \nTrying to ease her mind, Rouge spoke, \"it's okay. I think a woman my  \nage should be happy that the younger crowd still finds her attractive.  \nEven IF it's from the lesbian side...\"  \n  \n\"Rouge, you were my idol as a kid, the reason I even went into the GUN  \nrecruitment office and signed up for a job! You were a kick ass woman  \nback then, top ranking agent in the field, then you got hooked up  \nwith Sonic and...\" Pausing briefly, she finally said, \"and I thought  \nyou were very pretty. I know, dumb, right? I just turned eighteen  \nand you're forty-one!\" Taking the bottle away, she burped the child.  \n  \n\"And it's not like- well, I do see a bit of you in June, but that's  \nnot why I fell for her.\"   \n  \n\"I know. I do appreciate the validation of my beauty, though,\" Rouge   \nsaid, \"but don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not interested in you   \nthat way. Lots of reasons. I'm not a lesbian, I'm much older, and I'm   \nmarried. Still...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Shying away, Tiff turned to allow Rouge to burp her child. \"They'll  \ngo back to sleep now. Should be a bit quiet for a couple hours...  \nyou two rest, my little angels...\" Rising from her chair, Rouge  \nbegan to leave the room, stopping suddenly. \"Tiff, this is for you.  \nJust a little reward for all you've done for my family. Don't take  \nit the wrong way, okay? But do take it.\" Without hesitation, Rouge  \ngave Tiff a quick kiss on the cheek. \"And if you got any feeling from  \nthat, I'd suggest you find June when she gets home and seeing if she'd  \nwant to have some fun. I'm going back to my workout. Call me if the  \ntwins need me, okay?\"  \n  \nTiff was unable to speak. Her idol had kissed her on the cheek. Barely  \nwalking straight, she was star-struck, walking to her room. She  \nopened the door to find June laying on the bed. \"Back already?\"  \n  \n\"I didn't see you on the way in so I just came in here to crash for  \na bit,\" June said.  \n  \n\"Yeah, we were feeding the twins, so...\" Sitting beside June, she took   \nher hand. \"You still got stuff to do?\"   \n  \n\"Not anymore,\" June replied. \"Why?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Leaning in, Tiff said, \"wanna get a bit cozy? Just... kissing and   \ncuddling?\" She flipped the lock of fur in front of June's eye.   \n  \n\"Whoa...\" June was a bit surprised, but was willing. \"Don't know what   \ngot you in this mood, but hey, count me in!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom's hand reached for the door but Rouge stopped him. \"They're asleep  \nnow, let them be.\"   \n  \n\"Oh...\" Tom relented.   \n  \nShe gently pulled on his arm. \"You can see them when they've had their   \nnap. I need some attention right now...\" Leading him into their bedroom,   \nshe sat him down, crawling onto him. \"Tom... I need to feel sexy again.   \nI gave birth to two children and I've been working off the pounds I   \ngained. I've been busy taking care of them. Just for five minutes...\"  \n  \nRouge slowly kissed him. \"We haven't done it in almost a year. You've  \nbeen carrying a lot of stress, too. You need this as much as I do.\"  \n  \nSliding his hand down the front of her pants, he said, \"if I remember  \nhow...\"   \n  \n\"I don't think you'll have any trouble, big boy,\" she shouted,   \nunbuttoning his shirt as he gently rubbed her.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"We were too wrapped up with baby stuff, weren't we?\" he commented,   \nsqueezing her tits.   \n  \n\"Too much to even play with ourselves? I know...\"  \nPeeling her sports bra off, she let her breasts free. \"Tell me these   \nstill look good!\"   \n  \n\"I need to be careful with these,\" he said, \"wouldn't want to hurt   \nthem.\" Gently pinching at the nippled, he continued, \"you have two   \nbabies to feed, but... they still look great.\"  \n  \nSliding a hand down her stomach, he felt the softness, thin bits of fat  \nleft over. \"Almost gone.\"   \n  \n\"Thank you,\" she said. \"It's not turning you off, is it?\"   \n  \n\"Not you, not ever.\" Without further words, he slid his hands into her   \npants, pulling them down.   \n  \n\"I want it, Tom. NOW!\" she ordered, wincing as his hand slapped at  \nher pussy. Not wasting a second with gentle foreplay, his fingers  \ndanced, rubbing her vigorously. She groaned load. \"I need you in me!  \nThis isn't enough!\"   \n  \n\"You sure?\" he asked, staring at her boobs.   \n  \n\"I'm back on birth control. Now screw me!\" Yanking his pants down,  \nshe played with his dick. Rouge fondled and stroked until he was  \nhard.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'm ready, babe!\" Tom shouted, pulling her up onto him. Balancing,  \nRouge grabbed him, placing the head at her opening, pushing down.  \nShe almost screamed out, forcing it in was almost stressful. \"DAAMN!\"  \nTom couldn't believe it. \"How in the HELL did you give birth?\"  \n  \nShe commented gleefully, \"I think I REALLY overdid it on those thigh  \nexercises! You like?\" He answered by gently smacking her rear. Talking  \nwas just wasting time. Gripping on, Rouge began to bounce up and down.  \nThe bat was horny and ready. \"Tom, I-\" She was sweating and breathing  \nhard. \"I'm gonna cum!\" Rouge had prided herself on quick orgasms but  \nshe was barely started.   \n  \nHe said, \"do it!\"   \n  \nRouge wasn't sure why, but she hit orgasm in less than a minute.  \nTom screamed from the force of her muscle contractions, his own  \nscreams almost drowned out by hers. Tilting her head back, she was  \nable to quiet the shrieks, though her body shook. \"My turn now,\" he  \nsaid, flipping her to the bed in a quick motion, turning with her,  \nkeeping himself inside. Rouge lay with her back flat on the bed while  \nTom stood upright, thrusting like crazy.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Grunting with full effort from his lungs, Tom balanced a hand on her  \nclit, teasing it hard. \"I'm gonna blow! I'm gonna blow!\" he shouted.  \n  \nShe screamed out, \"cum all over me! Please pull out and cum on me!\"  \nYanking back mid-thrust, he was able to pull out, grinding the bottom  \nedge right on her clit with the next thrust. Rouge screamed out  \nloud, hitting a second orgasm as his dick rode her clit, squirting  \nall over his balls as he came, a long stream of sperm firing far,  \nhitting her breasts. More pumped out, splattering on her stomach and   \nfinally soaking her pubic fur.   \n  \n\"Oh... my...\" she stuttered, amazed. \"You've been saving that for  \na LONG time...\"   \n  \n\"That kinda hurt when it came out...\" Rubbing the head, Tom knew he'd   \nbe sore later. \"Okay, bath time! You needed one anyway but with THAT...\"  \n  \nReaching for the radio, Rouge clicked to the frequency of June's  \nreceiver. \"June, Tom and I are going to take a quick bath. Watch the  \ntwins for us until we're done, okay?\"  \n  \n\"Sure thing, sis,\" came the reply.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nUnlatching the case, Teal polished the G.U.N.-issued pistol. She'd now been  \nfully weapon-certified on the range. Tom had let her keep it in the   \nhouse, provided it was unloaded and any ammunition stored separately.  \n  \nGrabbing her work clothes, she changed. They'd called her in for a  \nlate shift. Her orders were to sweep the place for bugs and other  \nplanted spy devices. After what she'd gone through prior when dealing  \nwith such threats, it was a task she took seriously.  \n  \nCollecting the case, she closed her bedroom door. Her parents sat  \nin the living room with the twins. \"I gotta go to work now.\"   \n  \n\"You be DAMN careful with that thing, you hear me? Tom shouted. The   \ngun made him a bit nervous.   \n  \n\"Don't worry, daddy,\" Teal assured, \"no bullets. I'll get ammo at work.\"   \nKissing her mother and hugging her father, Teal looked down at her baby   \nsisters. \"They're being quiet for a change.\"  \n  \n\"Sleeping. You be careful at work, dear,\" Rouge said.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n\"Well?\"  \n  \n\"Well WHAT?\" Sonic asked.  \n  \n\"The book... did they buy it?\" Amy was impatient beyond reason, the  \noutcome eating at her minute by minute. Sonic's life story, written  \nout and being shopped to a publisher.   \n  \nHe responded flatly, \"they're waiting to see what the year's publishing  \nschedule will be, that's all.\"  \n  \n\"So...\" Rubbing his quills gently, \"they liked it?\"  \n  \n\"Of course they liked it, it's my life. I've had people begging me for  \nthat stuff for years.\"  \n  \nSmiling, Amy leaned close. \"Zoom's out on a date and Boost is staying over  \nwith friends.... wanna celebrate?\"  \n  \n\"Huh...\" Looking around the room, Sonic replied, \"I don't have the  \nchecks yet, but I don't see why we can't start the party a bit early....\"  \nNuzzling close, the two lovers were interrupted by a slamming door,  \ntheir older son running past in a quick motion. \"Did I just see that?\"  \n  \nPacing through the house, Amy found Zoom's bedroom door shut. Trying the  \nknob to find it locked, she rapped on the door. \"Zoom?\"  \n  \n\"Great... bet he got dumped.\"  \n  \n\"He wouldn't lock the door,\" she noted. \"Not over that. Something's really  \nwrong...\" Recalling the key she'd hidden away, the pink hedgehog  \nretrieved it from her purse, unlocking her son's bedroom. Inside, the  \nblue child was huddled on the bed, shaking violently.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Zoom?\" Edging in, Sonic was genuinely worried. \"What happened?\"  \n  \n\"Jennifer...\" the boy mumbled. \"Dad, I-\"  \n  \nThe look on his face wasn't loss. Sonic could tell that this wasn't  \na death. \"It's okay. Whatever this is, just tell me.\"  \n  \n\"Dad, I-\" Zoom paused. \"She's pregnant...\"  \n  \n\"WHAT?\" Amy shouted in disbelief. \"What the hell did you do?\"  \n  \n\"AMY!\" Sonic wasn't in the mood. \"Not now! Is she- I mean-\" Searching for  \nthe words, he asked finally, \"are you the father?\"  \n  \nThe kid was still shaking. \"We just- it kinda happened...\"  \n  \nLooking each other in the eyes, Sonic and Amy weren't sure what to do.  \n  \n-----------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"Yelling wasn't the best way to handle this,\" Rouge scolded. \"As I recall,  \nthere was a certain twelve year old girl who was begging for a wedding  \nring I used to know.\"  \n  \n\"Easy for you to say,\" Amy blurted out. \"Your daughter isn't even   \npregnant yet.\"  \n  \nBiting her lip, the bat added, \"I still have two more little girls who  \ncan do something stupid. At least they all got some of Tom's genes.  \nI might actually be scared if they'd been pure bats.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Shaking her head miserably, Amy slumped down. \"Where'd we go wrong...\"  \n  \n\"You didn't. Kids get old enough, eventually they make decisions...\"  \n  \nAmy recalled her childhood. \"After Sonic saved me I went home and my   \nparents were MAD at me... I was eight and I ran off. I didn't even see  \nthem again until I was sixteen and things never went well between us.  \nDid he get this from me?\"  \n  \nRouge didn't answer. Honestly, the bat felt as if Amy'd always been too  \nimpulsive. \"Any plans yet?\"  \n  \n\"All I can think of is getting drunk. Then I'll worry about what's going  \nto happen. You got any-\" She remembered that Rouge was strictly  \nnon-alcoholic. \"Is that bar still open across the street from the casino?\"  \n  \n\"I think so. But Amy, do me a favor...\"  \n  \nShe asked, \"what?\"  \n  \n\"Don't drink too much,\" Rouge advised.  \n  \n\"Uh huh... so, where'd everyone go?\"  \n  \nShe answered, \"Tom took the twins for their checkup, Teal's out with  \nSlate and June's out with Tiff. House is a bit quiet, really...\" Thinking  \nabout it, the bat woman realized that she'd grown used to people being  \naround all the time.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;-------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"Wow,\" Knuckles remarked. \"My boys always seemed to know better. And  \nI'd bet the Master Emerald itself that if Slate got Teal pregnant like  \nthat, Rouge'd have broken my neck AND his...\"  \n  \n\"Thanks,\" Sonic shouted out, \"I came here for help, not insults!\"  \n  \nRolling his eyes, the echidna went on, \"so, what about the girl's   \nparents?\"  \n  \n\"I don't know... they might not even know about this yet. I don't know if  \nshe'll tell them or not. She might get an abortion... poor girl's so   \nyoung.\"  \n  \n\"Your kid did something dumb, just try to make the best of it. Look, I  \ngotta go,\" Knuckles said, \"flight leaves soon and Karen won't like it  \nif I'm not on it.\"  \n  \nSaying his goodbyes, Sonic walked off, his mind spinning.  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIt had been less than a day and already events were falling apart.  \nRunning around in a daze of blurred vision and jumbled thoughts, the  \ncasino lights of Club Rouge seemed to make things worse.  \n  \n\"Amy?\" The voice was distant, echoes in her ears. \"AMY!\" Grabbing the  \npink hedgehog, Rouge pulled her through the crowds and to the back  \noffice. \"You don't look well...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"It's Zoom...\" Gasping for breath, Amy finally explained, \"her parents  \nfound out. They- they-\"  \n  \nRouge closed her eyes briefly. \"Not happy at all, I take it?\"  \n  \n\"They said they're going to press statutory rape charges! Against my own  \nSON!\"  \n  \n\"Son of a... great. She's just a teenager.\" Somehow, Rouge had expected  \nsuch an overreaction from the girl's parents, but not this bad. \"This  \ncould get ugly. The courts will say she wasn't old enough to consent.\"  \nSliding open the wall panel to reveal a screen, she said, \"It's not  \ntoo late. I'll just have to call in someone a little higher up to handle  \nthis... go home and wait.\"  \n  \n\"But-\"  \n  \n\"Go home. This is a secured channel anyway. Understand?\"  \n  \nNodding, Amy ran out as the bat entered her code into the keypad.  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwo police officers pushed into the house. \"You're NOT taking my son  \naway!\" Glaring angrily, the blue blur was ready to fight.  \n  \n\"You're not going to challenge the police,\" the officer muttered. \"We have  \na warrant and if you don't move, we'll arrest you as well.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I've dealt with worse than you,\" Sonic threatened. \"Try me...\"  \n  \nShoving past, they opened the boy's bedroom door. \"Zoom Hedgehog. You're  \nunder arrest. The charge is statutory rape. Please stand up with your  \nhands behind your back.\"  \n  \nAfraid to move, afraid his life was over, the boy's salvation came from  \nthe hallway as a voice called out, \"stand down.\" The form was tall and  \nimposing, accompanied by three men in body armor.  \n  \nThe cop was annoyed. \"This is a police matter, not a GUN matter.\"  \n  \nSnatching the warrant and tearing it to shreds, the Commander responded,  \n\"Sonic is a national hero. His son's situation MAKES it my business.  \nKindly escort them out of here,\" he ordered, \"their services are no  \nlonger needed.\"  \n  \nGrabbing the officers' collars, the GUN troops gladly led them out of  \nthe house. \"We're going to file a formal complaint!\"  \n  \n\"Great, more paperwork to be filed away where no one will read it,\"  \none troop joked.   \n  \n\"Yeah, more wasted paper,\" the second added.  \n  \nSonic shook the Commander's hand. \"THANKS! But-\"  \n  \n\"I was notified two hours ago. I didn't want to waste time. Don't  \nworry, as far as the police are concerned, their authority has been  \nruled out.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Huh... who told you about this?\" he asked, quite puzzled.  \n  \nAmy answered, \"I told Rouge. Guess she wasn't just making me feel better.\"  \n  \n\"I wish I could say that this was over, but...\" The Commander shook his   \nhead as two angry hedgehogs ran inside.  \n  \n\"So he's the father of this little punk!\" the brown one shouted.  \n  \n\"Don't call my son a punk, jerkwad!\" Sonic screamed back.  \n  \nThe tan one, the girl's mother, pushed Amy. \"Thanks for ruining my  \ndaughter with your rebel kid!\"  \n  \n\"Civil, please,\" the Commander said. \"If this turns violent I'll have no  \nchoice but to have people dragged out of here...\"  \n  \nGritting his teeth, the girl's father grumbled, \"great. We call the  \ncops, he calls the friggin' MILITARY!\"  \n  \n\"Sonic, Amy, meet Brad and Linda Green. The angry parents. Now, as for  \nyour complaint...\" Taking a strange joy in this, he went on, \"Linda  \nGreen? Your daughter is fourteen, but according to records, you're only  \nthirty years old.\"  \n  \n\"THIRTY?\" Amy's eyes popped wide. \"That means she was-\"  \n  \n\"SO?\" Linda saw no point in this. \"Just because I screwed up doesn't  \nmean Jenny can do as she wants!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Screwed up?\" Brad asked. \"Oh, so being with me was a screw up?\"  \n  \nA voice from behind called out gently, \"mom, dad...\" A teenage girl had  \njoined them. \"You tried to have him ARRESTED?\"  \n  \n\"Tried and got bullied by the government!\" Angered, Brad grunted  \nsomething incoherent. \"Jerks, always gotta get their way and take  \nadvantage of others! Just because blue boy did some stuff when he was   \na kid, he thinks he can do as he pleases!\"  \n  \nJenny was tired of this.\"I'm keeping the baby!\"  \n  \n\"You little...\" Stepping forth, Linda's hand went up, gripped tight at  \nthe wrist by the imposing form of the GUN Commander.  \n  \n\"You hit her and I'll see to it you spend ten years on a GUN prison  \nisland! Now calm down!\"  \n  \nRelenting, the woman merely shouted, \"you're not my daughter. Don't  \neven come back home, I'm throwing all your crap away you little WHORE!\"  \nHer parents left without further word.  \n  \nTurning to his men, the Commander ordered, \"go to their address and  \nretrieve all of Jennifer's personal belongings.\"  \n  \n\"Yes, sir!\" the lead soldier acknowledged, the three leaving to carry out   \ntheir duty.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well,\" he said, \"it looks as if my part in this is over. If you will  \nexcuse me, I have other matters to attend...\"  \n  \nLeft alone, the four remained silent. Finally, Jenny spoke, \"Zoom, I-\"  \n  \nTaking her hand, the boy responded, \"you can stay here. It's my kid, too.  \nThat is, if they don't mind.\"  \n  \n\"Uh... it's okay with me,\" Amy said. \"Besides, you'll need my help  \nin a few months. I've been through this twice.\"  \n  \nSmiling slightly, Sonic said, \"we have a spare room. OH! Uh...\"  \nHe'd forgotten one small detail. \"How are we going to explain this  \nto Boost?\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, two months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal was mad. \"I don't know HOW this guy keeps getting these bugs  \ninto GUN HQ but when they find him....\" It had been a long day. Her  \nfeet were propped up on the coffee table. She saw a shape fly past,  \nfollowed by another, larger object. Teal smiled, knowing she wasn't  \nthe only one with work-related difficulties.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge flew through the house, catching her daughter midair. \"Rose!  \nEnough, time to take a nap!\" Making her way to the twins' bedroom,  \nshe pulled the door shut behind her. Tom had already put Violette  \nto bed. \"Worn out?\" he asked, Rouge nodding. Flying around tired out the  \nlittle girls quickly. Making sure the window was sealed tight,  \nRouge locked the door from the outside.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff sat with June. \"I almost missed your birthday...\"   \n  \n\"I heard. Another security breach at GUN,\" June said, understanding   \nthe hassles of such employment.   \n  \n\"I also didn't have time to stop and get you anything,\" Tiff said,   \nfeeling miserable.   \n  \nShe responded, \"it's okay. Look, we could go out, but...\"  \n  \nRising, she went to the door, turning the lock. \"Tiff, I... I really  \nlove you. And we said when I turned eighteen we would get serious.  \nThat's today...\"   \n  \n\"Oh.\" Tiff was a bit taken back. \"You want to... have sex...\"   \n  \n\"Like you haven't been thinking about it,\" June scolded. \"We don't have   \nto if you don't want...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff grabbed her hand. \"I think I'm ready. So... I guess we get naked  \nand touch each other?\"   \n  \nWith some hesitation, June leaned forward, kissing Tiff. \"We touch each   \nother already. Shouldn't be a problem.\" Sitting on the bed, Tiff leaned   \nback, closing her legs. \"June... I think your present is ready to be   \nunwrapped. Be gentle, okay?\"  \n  \nLowering to her knees, she slowly reached for the buttons of Tiff's  \nuniform, undoing them one by one, revealing her purple bra. Easing the  \nshirt down, she slid it from the bat's arms. Spotting the bra clasp  \nin the front, her fingers reached for it. \"Front clip?\"  \n  \n\"Hey, YOU try a back-clipping bra with wings in the way!\" Licking her  \nlips, Tiff felt her pussy beginning to tingle.   \n  \nJune could hardly wait. Tiff's breasts weren't as large as hers, perhaps   \na cup smaller, but she'd felt them before. They were soft and firm.   \nUnclipping the hooks, she parted the bra cups. Tiff's nipples were pink,   \nthe areolas small. \"June, I'd always thought about nipple piercings...   \nwhat do you think?\"  \n  \nHer eyes didn't leave them. \"You don't need them,\" she said, \"they're  \nbeautiful!\" Desire overwhelmed restraint. She began to play with Tiff's  \ntits, sucking on them furiously. Moaning, Tiff's back arched. \"Wow...  \nthat feels really good!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You ever licked your own tits while fingering?\" June teased.   \n  \n\"What? Never tried it...\"   \n  \nShe watched as June stood, arms raised. \"Your turn. I don't have a bra   \non, just the shirt.\"  \n  \nGrinning madly, Tiff's hands pulled the shirt over her love's head, two  \nlarge breasts falling free. \"OH! MY! GOD!\"   \n  \n\"Like them? I know sis is proud of hers, I'm at least the same size...\"   \nJune said, grabbing her lover's hand and placing it to her chest. Tiff's   \nfingers squeezed gently as June leaned in. \"Tiff, pretend you're a guy   \nand suck my titties!\"  \n  \nShe gently bit on her lower lip as Tiff did as ordered. Leaving a trail  \nof dripping spit, Tiff said, \"they're great! Now... you still have  \nsomething to unwrap...\" Spreading her legs, she invited the bat girl   \ndownward.  \n  \nTaking the zipper, she slowly removed the girl's pants, leaving  \nonly her black panties. Wasting no time, June hooked a finger under them  \nand slid the garment for a peek. \"You dye your fuzz?\"  \n  \nEmbarrassed, Tiff said, \"so?\" Tiff's pubes were bright pink, same as  \nthe strip of fur she dyed on her head.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Pretty,\" June commented, easing the panties down Tiff's legs.   \n  \nShe was now totally naked, her  \nlesbian lover looking at every inch. June wanted it, to touch it,  \nto taste it. Her fingers spread Tiff's labia. She was already wet.  \nA hand rubbing it gently, her fingers began to play. \"Please don't!\"  \nTiff shouted fearfully. \"I'm...\" June noticed her hymen, still intact.  \n\"I heard it hurts...\"  \n  \n\"I won,'t\" June assured. \"I'll do something better.\" her face moved in  \nquick. Wasting no time, her tongue moved up, licking her lover gently.  \n\"Damn, that tastes good!\" Smiling, Tiff began to moan. She simply  \nlet herself go, enthralled by the feeling.   \n  \nPulling back the hood, June found Tiff's clitoris, tongue gently   \nflicking it. \"WHOA!\" Tiff screamed out, \"that's REALLY sensitive!\"  \n  \nEasing the flap of skin back down, June resumed kissing and licking.  \nTiff's thighs were soaked by leaking juices, which rubbed off onto  \nJune's cheeks. She enjoyed the taste and the smell. Different from her  \nown. Breathing heavily, Tiff's hands rubbed June's head. \"I'm going to...  \nto orgasm!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She replied, \"yeah, cum for me!\" as she licked harder. Tiff's body   \ntensed. It was much more intense than anything she'd done on her own.  \nKnees bent, Tiff screamed out, resisting the urge to clamp her legs  \nshut on June's head. Her toes curled, so tight it almost hurt her feet.  \n\u0026nbsp;  \nSatisfied that her love was pleased, June stood, turning, and dropped   \nher pants. \"Tiff, does being naked make my ass look fat?\"  \n  \nGrinning like an idiot, Tiff reached out, hands around June's wait,  \npulling her to the bed. \"It's your birthday, June, why am I getting  \nthe orgasm?\"   \n  \n\"Right... lean back, Tiff!\"   \n  \nShe asked, \"why?\"   \n  \n\"Just do it, I wanna try something!\" Straddling her left leg, June put   \nher hand under Tiff's right thigh and lifted up, sliding her left leg   \nunder it, pressing her cunt to Tiff's. Slowly moving in a circular   \nmotion, June began to groan. \"That feel good?\"  \n  \n\"Yeah... what ARE you doing?\" Tiff was amazed.   \n  \nJune replied, \"I'm fucking you!\" Thrusting her pelvis gently, June   \nforced her pussy against Tiff's, the skin slipping along a trail of   \nmixed pussy juices. She was certain she'd felt her clit taking full   \nforce, likely pushed free from the skin flap while grinding. Much like   \nRouge, June was a tough woman and could stand such direct stimulation.   \nHow long she could stand it was another matter.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'm gonna cum, Tiff, I'm gonna cum all over your cute little pussy!  \nYou want me to cum all over your pussy?\" Tiff struggled to answer,  \nmoaning loud as June slipped a hand between them to fondle her  \nnipples.   \n  \nForcing a hand up, Tiff grabbed her girlfriend's ass, squeezing it.   \n\"I'm ready! JUNE! I love you!\"  \n  \nIt forced June to climax the instant she heard it. Tensing up, she  \nforced her pussy in tighter, shaking her hips violently. Tiff  \ngrabbed the sheets as she climaxed with her lover, the two screaming  \nout. Collapsing, June was exhausted as she looked Tiff in the eyes.  \nKissing her love gently, she asked, \"like that?\" Tiff only smiled.  \n  \n\"Good... rest some and we'll keep this up!\"   \n  \n\"You wanna do this again?\" Catching her breath, the black-furred bat   \nwrapped her arms around June.   \n  \n\"Of course,\" June said. \"We're women. We can keep this up all night!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIn the kitchen, June grabbed bottles of orange juice. \"Having a good   \ntime?\" She jumped. Rouge was standing behind her. \"My little sister's  \na woman now...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Sis! Yeah...\"   \n  \n\"Don't be shy. I don't need to hear the details, just tell me you're   \nhappy, okay?\" Rouge said.   \n  \nJune replied, \"I am!\"  \n  \n\"Good. Anyway... you're not the only one getting some.\u0026nbsp; The twins have  \nbeen fed and are asleep, so... time for me and Tom to get romantic.\"  \n  \nLeaving her sister be, Rouge raced for her bedroom. Jumping to the  \nbed, she grabbed hold of Tom's naked body, her robe flying open.   \n\"Let the girls have THEIR fun,\" she remarked. \"Me, I'm sticking with  \nthe man I love!\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, four months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIt was June's first day. A simple task, scan in paper documents to be  \nrecorded in the computer files. It was her first job.  \n  \n\"Doing okay back here?\" It was Tiff Nightwing.   \n  \n\"Yeah,\" June responded, a bit bored. She'd been at this for an hour.   \nStill just a trainee in the GUN records room, her tasks were simple,   \nrepresentative of one with only basic security clearance.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Break time. Go on,\" Tiff said.   \n  \nChecking the clock, June stopped her work. Looking into Tiff's eyes,   \nshe paused. Tiff reminded, \"after work. Keep it business here. We're   \nthe government, big business, okay?\"  \n  \nAs she walked past the desk, she saw Teal, wheeling in a fresh cart  \nload of boxes. \"Great, more work... yo, Teal, what's with the  \nchocolate milk?\"   \n  \nBalancing the bottle on the cart, Teal had forgotten about it. \"Coffee   \nmachine's broken,\" Teal explained, \"I'll get my caffeine wherever I   \ncan.\"  \n  \nPunching the code to open the door, June made her way to the elevators.  \nHer work outfit was uncomfortable, sterile. Already, she had dirty   \nthoughts about her and Tiff taking them off when they got home.  \n  \nShe noticed something odd. Thinking quick, she ran, flying, tackling  \nthe individual without a word. Content that he was down, June reached for  \nthe security alarm.  \n  \nTeal was pulling the empty cart when she heard it. Unclipping the   \nholster latch of her pistol, she ran, cautiously, gun ready. Spotting  \ntwo troops, she joined them, the three proceeding carefully. \"JUNE!\"   \nTeal saw her aunt, pinning down the old janitor. \"What's going on?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I saw him doing something funny!\"   \n  \n\"What, exactly?\" Teal asked.   \n  \nShe replied, \"I don't know, I think he slipped something into the wall.\"   \nThey looked at the wall itself, which appeared to be solid.   \n  \n\"False alarm,\" one of the troops said.   \n  \n\"June, that's Bob, the old guy who cleans! He's not up to anything...\"  \n  \nJune was sweating. \"I know what I saw, Teal!\"   \n  \nThe second troop silenced the alarm. \"You didn't see anything. Sorry   \nabout this, Bob, she's new here.\"   \n  \n\"It's okay,\" the old man said, a bit shaken.   \n  \n\"Teal? You believe me, right?\" Ready to cry, June was afraid. Afraid her   \nnew job was ruined, afraid her credibility was in question.   \n  \n\"I... I don't have rank here.\" Holstering her handgun, Teal had no  \nchoice but to let the old man go.   \n  \nThey heard the sound of footsteps along the metal hallway, echoes growing  \nshort as they approached. The Commander of GUN and three elite soldiers.  \n\"What's going on?\" he inquired.   \n  \n\"False alarm,\" the troop said.   \n  \n\"But I SAW....\" June shouted, tears welling in her eyes.  \n  \nIgnoring the ranking troop, the Commander asked, \"saw what?\" June  \nsaid, \"I saw him slip something into the wall, I know it!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Very well,\" he responded, eyes close to the wall. He spotted a thin   \nseam in the metal itself. \"Okay... then this man won't mind being   \nsearched if he is, in fact, innocent...\"  \n  \nThe Commander knew the old man, but to him, something wasn't right.  \n\"I... I have nothing, of course...\" Bob muttered, taking a step back.  \n  \nIt was then that Teal heard it, the footstep. It wasn't right. \"I need  \nto see your shoes!\"   \n  \nThe Commander was quick, grabbing the old man's arm. \"Please, I insist!  \nShoes, now!\" Frightened, the janitor stooped, taking his shoes off.  \n  \nCollecting them, Teal checked the soles. \"This one's too hard,\" she  \nexplained, tapping on it.   \n  \nJune saw it. \"There!\" She pointed to a small spot on the side.   \n  \nFinding it, Teal hit the tiny switch, the middle of the shoe sliding   \nout a thin tray. Holding up one of the tiny discs it contained, she   \nsaid, \"spy bugs!\"  \n  \nThe old man was broken. \"I needed the money...\"   \n  \nTurning to the elites, the Commander ordered, \"get a team down here to   \nget that wall apart! Get that bug OUT of there, NOW! As for you two...\"   \nhe said, pointing to the two troopers. \"You were going to let this go   \nwithout fully checking it out?\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"But sir, he's-\"   \n  \n\"I don't care. ANY, and I mean ANY threat is to be taken seriously! Now   \nget him to interrogation!\"  \n  \nExamining one of the devices, he found it to be a very thin data  \nrecorder that could wirelessly leech off nearby signals. \"probably  \ndoesn't transmit data. These would have to be collected. Why didn't  \nscans detect them?\"   \n  \n\"I think the shoe's lined with metals that block any scans,\" Teal said.   \n  \n\"Ah, Teal. You found this out?\"   \n  \n\"Actually, she did,\" Teal explained, pointing to June.  \n  \n\"Well done for your first day here!\" June was happy. She felt  \nimportant.   \n  \n\"Now... Teal, begin standard bug sweep procedures. You know them by   \nnow.\"   \n  \n\"Yes, sir!\" she shouted, running off to begin her assignment.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge was proud of the twins. Violette and Rose were practically  \ninseparable now, playing together. The twins were bonded. \"My happy,  \nprecious little girls...\" Picking them up, Rouge held them tight.  \n  \n\"Mommy loves us!\" Violette shouted.   \n  \n\"Mommy, I'm hungry!\" Rose said.  \n  \nThe two girls only had basic vocabulary but it was enough for now.  \n\"Okay, dear, I'll get you your sippy cups...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'll do that,\" Tom said, entering the room. \"You have a phone call.\"  \nRouge, setting her girls down, reached for the nearest phone. \"Not  \nthat phone,\" Tom said, \"the video phone in the study.\"  \n  \nRouge knew of only one person who would contact her on that. She made  \nher way to the study.  \n  \n\"Commander...\"  \n  \n\"Rouge. I see you're doing well,\" the GUN Commander greeted. \"But I   \ndidn't call you for social business. Your sister has been a big help to  \nus in cracking the mystery behind the people smuggling the spy  \nbugs in. She caught one in the act this morning.\"   \n  \n\"Wow,\" she said, \"and only her first day. I'm proud of her... but you   \ndidn't call me for that.\"  \n  \n\"Of course,\" he replied. \"Our interrogation indicates he's not working  \nalone. I don't know what to do. I have the facility on silent lockdown,  \nno one exits or leaves but it's not been announced. I don't want  \nanyone else in this building to know we're on to them!\"  \n  \nShe was curious. \"Who was it?\"   \n  \nThe Commander didn't want to say it. \"Robert Hodges. I believe you knew   \nhim once...\"   \n  \nShe was stunned. \"Yes, he was a janitor there when I was active. I   \nnever would have thought he'd be involved... how'd he smuggle the   \ndevices in?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"His shoe had a concealed tray with a lining to mask it from bug  \nsweeps.\"   \n  \n\"Well, then,\" she said. \"Its simple... search everyone's shoes!\"   \n  \n\"That will take time, but... we have no choice, do we?\" Wiping his   \nglasses, he added, \"your daughter and sister are beyond all suspicion,   \nand I have little reason to suspect involvement of the woman who works   \nin the records department.\"  \n  \nRouge blurted out, \"Tiff is my sister's lover. No need to try and  \nmake it sound different.\"   \n  \n\"Of course... those three I don't suspect. You may have been a thief   \nbut you were loyal to your government and I would doubt those three to   \nbe any different. However... no one else\u0026nbsp; is beyond such careful   \nscrutiny. Not even...\"  \n  \nShe knew who he meant. \"Rouge, is there ANY reason that Shadow the  \nHedgehog should be removed from my list?\"   \n  \nShe wanted to defend him, defend her old friend, but her mind recalled   \nwhat Shadow had done. Sleeping with her own mother ten years ago and   \nkeeping it quiet. \"I can't say that. I'm sorry,\" she apologized, \"but   \nShadow always had his own goals. I doubt he's involved but make sure.   \nCheck everyone. I have two of my family in there and a third who's   \npractically family. I want them to be safe.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'm doing my best,\" he said. The screen went blank.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nEvery employee and soldier in the base had to be checked. The team  \nrunning the tests was small, limited to Teal, the Commander himself and  \nonly a small handful of elite high-ranking soldiers that had been  \ncleared. They had kept it secret why everyone's shoes were being   \ninspected, though they received a fair number of odd looks and  \narguments about it.  \n  \nThe shoes were bad enough, of course, but checking all loose personal  \nbelongings was taking more time.  \n  \nTeal picked up the lipstick tube, carefully touching every bit of the  \ncasing, the button pressing in to pop the bottom loose. Pulling the  \nsleeve off, she found a storage rack with two unused spy bugs.   \nDumping out the purse, she found identification, handing it to the  \nelite. \"Go get her,\" she ordered, the guard stepping into the next room  \nand cuffing the woman.  \n  \n\"Sweep found six planted bugs already,\" the Commander stated. \"And we   \nhave four in custody, with five of the placed bugs accounted for.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well, she wasn't the sixth,\" Teal said, showing him the container.  \n  \n\"Right... the women's locker room is done. Men's is next.\" The  \nCommander led Teal to check all lockers. One by one they sorted through  \neverything in each.  \n  \nThe shoe opened. Teal counted four devices, two slots. \"I think we have  \na seventh bug somewhere still!\"   \n  \n\"Sweep's not done yet,\" the Commander said, \"they'll find it.\" Checking   \nthe wallet in the locker, they stepped out. \"You.\"   \n  \n\"Me? But...\" the man said, stunned. \"Look, can't be me, those aren't   \neven my shoes! What's that sticking out of them?\"  \n  \nTheir suspect was in his workout clothes, no doubt why his office suit  \nwas in the locker. \"Wait!\" Teal shouted. Looking the storage shoe over,  \nshe bent down to look at the shoes their suspect had on. Checking  \nthe tags, she said, \"sizes don't match. He's wearing size eleven, this  \nis eleven wide...\"  \n  \nThey looked the room over carefully. One of the men was wincing,  \nsitting with his feet off the floor. \"Shoes too small? Detain him!\"  \nBefore anyone could do as ordered, the man bolted, tackling the  \nCommander to the floor. Elbowing one of the guards, he took the gun,  \ntaking pot-shots as he ran. \"Damn!\" Teal helped her boss to his feet.   \nUnclipping his radio, he said, \"all GUN soldiers be alert! We have an   \nescapee! Male, tall, red hair, armed!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Gathering whatever troops were with them, they ran through the  \nhalls. The spy was pinned down in the entrance hall, but had enough  \nfirepower to keep GUN at bay. Taking cover, the Commander muttered,   \n\"we'll never be able to take this guy down while he's still got  \nammunition left!\"  \n  \n\"I have an idea,\" Teal spoke, \"not a good one but...\" Without waiting  \nfor confirmation, she flew to the ceiling and quickly dashed across the  \nroom. Pulling her pistol, she was quick to aim. The bullet passed  \nthrough her target's arm, rifle dropped as blood sprayed from the  \nwound.  \n  \n\"Clear!\" one of the troops shouted as they rushed him, securing the loose  \nweapon. \"Medical team to the front entrance!\"  \n  \n\"Sir! Shadow the Hedgehog is requesting to be allowed inside!\"  \n  \nThe Commander, content all was under control, ordered, \"let him in  \nbut keep a FULL watch! He's still not been cleared!\"   \n  \nTroops lined the entrance, weapons ready. The door unsealed as Shadow   \nstepped in, followed by Miles Prower. \"Sir,\" he greeted.   \n  \nBehind them wheeled in a tall cart with a man strapped to it. The  \nman was old and instantly recognized. \"Ivo Robotnik?\" The GUN Commander  \nwas shocked.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;From behind, Robotnik stepped. \"No, that would be me,\" the old man said.   \n  \nConfused, Teal asked, \"then who's that?\"  \n  \nRobotnik explained, \"this is Eggman Nega... he comes from an alternate  \ndimension. Seems he has been here for some time.\"  \n  \n\"He's been behind the spy operation,\" Tails explained. \"Our equipment  \nat the lab picked up on the signal he was using to received pirated  \nradio transmissions from GUN. Seems he was rather angry that his  \nspy plans were busted, but it was trivial to follow his signal. I found  \nShadow and we were able to bring him in.\"  \n  \nTaking almost no interest in the situation, Shadow simply said, \"I'm  \ngoing to fill out the necessary reports,\" walking away.  \n  \nEggman Nega was furious. \"Of all people to go good, you, Eggman,  \nhad to ruin my plans here...\"   \n  \nAngry, Robotnik swung his cane, striking Eggman Nega. \"Do not call me   \nthat anymore!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"I'm so proud of my little sister,\" Rouge shouted out, hugging June.  \n  \n\"Hey, what about me?\" Teal seemed a bit offended. \"I had to go  \nsweeping for bugs, inspecting shoes all day and then had to shoot  \none of the spies!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Hugging her daughter, Rouge said, \"you did good, too!\"  \n  \n\"Yeah, they get all the credit.\" Tiff was mad. \"I had to sit in GUN  \nlockdown for six hours in the dungeon while everyone else got go  \nhave the real fun! Six hours of securing files!\"   \n  \n\"Aww, don't be mad, Tiff, I'll make it better...\" June wrapped her   \narms around the bat girl, inviting her to their room.  \n  \nTom put his hand on Teal's shoulder. \"You doing okay?\"   \n  \n\"Just fine, dad, why?\"   \n  \n\"You DID shoot someone,\" he said.   \n  \nShe replied, \"yeah, in the ARM. I'm fine, dad!\"   \n  \n\"Just... if you aren't, come talk to me, okay?\"   \n  \nFlying up, Teal hugged her father. \"Daddy, you worry too much!\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, five months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"Yo, Tiff!\" Teal tapped on the desk.   \n  \nFrom the back room, the black-furred raver bat darted, answering the   \ncall of someone requesting her presence. \"Teal.... um, where's the usual   \nboxes?\"  \n  \n\"Not my job anymore,\" she said. \"I got promoted to field agent today!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff was happy, jumping up and down. \"WONDERFUL! It's about time!  \nJune know yet?\"   \n  \n\"Nope, haven't told her,\" Teal replied, \"and don't tell  \nher. I want to!\"   \n  \n\"Right! Duh... so, Rouge know yet?\"   \n  \nShe said, \"yep. Mom and dad were here earlier. Anyway, I don't have any   \nassignments yet so I'm just hanging out until they give me something to   \ndo.\" Teal enjoyed the quiet. No more errands to keep her occupied. Just   \nwait for something to happen. \"Listen, Tiff... can you dig into   \nsomething for me?\"   \n  \n\"Sure thing! What?\" Tiff asked, eager to help.   \n  \nTeal explained, \"the file that explains why mom was made a top-ranked   \nagent so young...\"  \n  \n\"Anything but that file...\" Tiff frowned. \"Believe me, I tried. That's  \nhighest security clearance! Only two people have that, the Commander  \nand the President. Not even your mom can talk about that mission and  \nshe was involved!\"  \n  \nStunned, Teal asked, \"what kinda mission would even GET that level   \nof security? Not even the Space Colony ARK stuff is that classified!\"  \nRefusing to wait for Tiff's response, Teal bolted from the room.  \nQuickly, through a maze of hallways, elevators and stairs, Teal made her  \nway to the Commander's office. \"We need to talk.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Teal? What's wrong? You look...\" He didn't finish his sentence.  \n  \n\"My mother's file,\" she said bluntly, \"I want to see it!\"   \n  \n\"Agent Teal, you know where the records department is, all you have   \nto-\"  \n  \n\"I was just there,\" she said, cutting him off. \"I was told it's highest  \nsecurity clearance only!\"  \n  \n\"What?\" The Commander was stunned. \"That's impossible, NO mission file  \nis classified as such unless under cases of SEVERE secrecy and I'm only  \naware of two such cases, both of which I've reviewed! One involved your   \nmother, but that was her final mission.\"  \n  \nUnconvinced, she asked, \"did you ever read the file on my mother  \nconcerning her promotion?\"   \n  \n\"Of course I-\" His mind stopped to think. \"Actually, I never have...   \ncome with me!\"  \n  \nShe followed behind, the two making their way to the sub-basement.  \nWithout asking, the Commander ran behind the desk into the back.  \nTyping in his access codes, he brought up the files of highest security.  \n\"Okay... what secrets does this report hide?\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe crib had been out away. In their small bed, the twins slept, Rouge  \nmaking sure their blanket was secure. It was the daily routine.  \nTeal, Tiff and June would go to work while Rouge stayed home with  \nTom taking care of the girls. She missed being able to go out but  \nshe'd never give up her children for it.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The girls had played all day and were still developing, tiring out   \neasily. They could fly but lacked stamina. Rouge enjoyed being in  \nthe air with them, two laughing, happy little girls following their  \nmother around.  \n  \nClosing their bedroom door, she found Tom in the living room, sitting  \nbeside him. \"Doing anything?\" she asked.   \n  \n\"Not really, no.\" He was bored.   \n  \nTaking his hands, Rouge led her husband to his feet. \"I want to go   \nsomewhere a bit more private...\" In their bedroom, the door clicked   \nshut, lock turned. Tom expected to be jumped, pinned to the bed. Rather,   \nshe took him by the hand, gently walking to the bed.  \n  \n\"I don't want to get too deep right now. I need some stress relief,  \nthat's all.\" Springing forth like lightning, she jumped up on him,  \nTom's back pinned to the bed. Their lips locked, Rouge losing herself  \nin the kiss. With purpose, she kept it slow, sucking on his lips gently,  \ntheir tongues slowly tasting each other.  \n  \n\"Wow...\" he commented, \"you wore the cherry lipstick.\"   \n  \n\"I'm middle-aged, Tom, not repressed.\" His fingers ran through her fur,   \nRouge returning the favor. She took care to look closely. Not one gray   \nhair. \"I'm not the only one aging well...\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Looking him in the eyes, she felt warm inside, only getting warmer when   \nhe said, \"still love you, Rouge. That's one thing about me that will   \nnever change!\"  \n  \nKissing him again, she responded, \"and I'll never stop loving you. Tom,  \nI...\" Rolling onto her side, she unbuttoned, shirt falling loose. \"Make  \nme feel good. Kiss me everywhere.\" Wasting no time, Thomas began to kiss,  \nmoving up her stomach and gently teasing her breasts. Pulling down  \non her bra, he gently pinched Rouge's nipples, squeezing a soft moan  \nfrom her.  \n  \nLeaning back, Rouge flattened her wings, legs parted, one knee up.  \nRaising her butt, she allowed Tom to ease her skirt and panties off,  \nkicking them free. Tossing her shirt away, her bra went flying. Lying  \ntotally naked, Rouge felt young again. Rouge also felt horny, a fact  \nher husband was quick to pick up. Without speaking, he began to kiss  \nher mound, like he was kissing his wife on the mouth. Tongue dancing,  \nTom enjoyed the taste and the feel.  \n  \nSqueezing her breasts, she reached a hand down, running fingers through  \nTom's hair, which only seemed to encourage him. An arm wrapped around  \nher leg, Tom kissed harder, losing himself in her scent and flavor.  \nHis tongue flicked the clitoris hard, just how she liked it, moving  \naway occasionally to slide inside the bat's vagina.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Reaching his right hand up, Tom found it, the wedding ring. Rouge,  \nquick to act, locked fingers. His thumb rubbed hers, a small, almost  \nmeaningless action that sent sparks through her.   \n  \nSmiling, Rouge rose slightly, arching her back, curling her toes  \nas she achieved orgasm, moaning, stuttering to keep herself from   \nscreaming and possibly waking the twins. Pulling his head free,  \nTom looked her in the eyes. \"Stress all gone?\"   \n  \n\"All gone...\" she gasped, still reeling. \"Huh? Tom?\" She was looking at   \nhis crotch.  \n  \n\"What? I have SOME self-control... unless you want to get it on,  \nin which case I can-\"   \n  \n\"NO! Better not... but I'll take you up on that offer tonight, okay?\"   \nCrawling up the bed, he kissed her gently. She could taste her own pussy   \non his lips. \"Better get dressed,\" he said. She replied, \"hold me first.   \nJust five minutes...\"  \n  \nSliding an arm under her legs, Tom hoisted Rouge in a quick motion,  \nsitting back with her. His hands felt her skin, kept soft through  \nyears of gentle soaps and lotions. \"I like holding you...\"   \n  \nShe replied, \"I like being held...\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Not content to let her have the last word, he said, \"and I like seeing   \nyou naked.\"  \n  \n\"And I like being naked with you to see.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe girls entered the house, the work day done. Teal, carrying the   \nfolder, found her mother. \"Mom...\"   \n  \n\"Teal? What's that?\" Rouge asked.  \n  \nHanding it over, Teal explained, \"the mission record that got you  \npromoted back when you were still in GUN.\"  \n  \n\"Oh, that...\" She didn't bother to read it.   \n  \n\"Why was it so secret?\" Tiff asked. \"We had to get the Commander himself   \nto access this!\"  \n  \nJune said, \"yeah, sis, what's so special?\"  \n  \n\"I've always been curious myself,\" Tom said.   \n  \nRouge explained, \"nothing big. I just stopped an assassination attempt  \non the president at the time and helped shut down a large terrorist   \nnetwork.\"  \n  \n\"Nothing... dear, that's pretty damn big if you ask me!\" Rather  \nstartled, Tom wondered why she'd never mentioned it.   \n  \nShe sighed. \"I joined GUN for a quick opportunity to steal stuff in   \nthe field. Not to be a hero... then that happened and I got a taste of   \nbeing one of the heroes...\" Tossing the folder aside, she continued,   \n\"the mission file was sealed because we hadn't dealt with the entire   \ngroup at the time and the president wanted to keep it quiet. Guess after   \nall these years we never thought about it.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Hugging her mother, Teal commented, \"mom, I'm proud of you.\"   \n  \n\"Don't kick yourself, sis, you ARE a hero!\" June said.   \n  \n\"I'm proud you're my idol!\" Tiff added.   \n  \nHolding his wife tight, Tom finally said, \"you'll always be a hero to   \nme. Always.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nNight time. A time of privacy. Doors shut and locked, everyone in their  \nbedrooms.  \n  \nRouge was drenched in sweat, her husband pinned to the bed underneath  \nher. The bat was rocking slowly, arms up behind her head, tits catching  \nthe light of the lamp. Licking her lips, she groaned loud as Tom ran his   \nhands up her body, holding her breasts tight.  \n  \n\"That's it, time to finish!\" she shouted, already close to climax.   \nBouncing up and down with good rhythm, Rouge enjoyed the feeling of  \nhis dick sliding in and out. Balancing herself, she remained steady  \nas Tom thrusted from below, riding him, moaning and screaming with  \na smile on her face as she climaxed, back bending as his sperm shot   \ninside, filling her.  \n  \nPussy still buzzing, Rouge wasted no time, reaching back a hand to  \ntickle her love's balls. \"Don't get soft on me yet!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Wouldn't dream of it,\" he shouted, grabbing her hips tight, thrusting   \nupward like a jack hammer. Body shaking, tits bouncing, Rouge Adriani   \nwas stunned, her clit still sensitive with no time to cool down. Closing   \nher eyes, she orgasmed a second time, squirting gently all over Tom's   \nstomach.  \n  \n\"Think you can take it?\" he asked, continuing to pound away.   \n  \nShe screamed out, \"just keep fucking me! OH GOD!\"   \n  \n\"It's gonna be a while before I cum again. You wanna keep count? Think   \nyou can hit thirty before I cream again?\" Holding onto his arms, she   \ngasped for breath. It was intense. Tom's cock slid in and out with ease,   \nlubed up heavily from semen and pussy juices, little resistance aside   \nfrom the muscles inside clamping down.  \n  \n\"I'll.. try... here comes number THREEEEEEEE!\" Screaming out loud,  \nshe was beyond the point of sexual pleasure. Rouge felt as if her  \nclit was about to explode. \"TOM! I...I'm gonna pass out!\"   \n  \nStopping, he gave her a break. \"Okay... you have your limits after   \nall...\" he remarked, sitting up to help ease her off him.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rolling down to the bed, Rouge was exhausted. \"Guess I'm losing my   \ntouch in bed,\" she said.   \n  \nTom looked at her pussy, walls contracting in, soaking wet. It was   \nopened slightly. \"Looks like you're done for now.\"   \n  \nGripping his hand, she corrected, \"hardly. Your dick still up?\" Rolling   \nover, he showed off, still erect. \"Good boy... I have these,\" Rouge   \ncommented, pressing inward on her boobs. \"Come on! I want you to!\"  \n  \nWithout argument, Tom straddled her chest, penis sliding in between  \nhis wife's tits, gently pushing back and forth. Propping her head  \non a pillow, she watched, the head poking in and out from between.  \nGrabbing her breasts, Tom pinched on the nipples, playing with them,  \npressing in on them to control the tightness.  \n  \nTom enjoyed how the sweat lubricated his motions, how her breasts  \ngripped just hard enough to keep his foreskin in place. Sliding faster,  \nhe said, \"might want to tilt your head back!\"   \n  \n\"Nuh uh, I wanna watch this!\" Rouge kept her eyes focused, mouth closed   \nas her lover ejaculated, spraying jizz all over her neck and chin.   \nWatching it shoot out from the end hit a spot in her brain that she   \nliked, the spot where the dirty thoughts lived.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Okay, I'm done...\" he muttered, gently pulling out from between her  \ntits. \"Bathtub!\"   \n  \nPicking her up, she cradled in his arms. \"Finger me in the tub? My   \npussy's feeling better now...\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nLocked away in their room, Tiff and June were stripped naked. Squeezing   \nout the bottle of massage oil, Tiff ran it over the girl's body.  \n\"Oh, your titties are so big!\"   \n  \n\"Yours aren't bad, either, Tiff!\" June complimented.   \n  \nSliding her hand down June's body, Tiff stopped below, rubbing June's   \nvagina. \"Like that?\" she asked, smiling.  \n  \nPlacing her hand over Tiff's, the bat helped her rub, pushing deeper  \nin. \"Kiss me, Tiff!\" Turning her head, June locked lips, the two  \nmaking out. Unable to stand it anymore, the black bat pushed June down,  \nlying on top. She wanted to suck the nipples, like cherries inviting  \nher to taste. It was an invitation she accepted, suckling June's  \nlarge breasts. \"Damn! That feels good...\"  \n  \nTingling below, Tiff was ready for the good stuff. \"Trib time!\"  \nshe shouted, leaning back, holding June's legs as she slammed her  \npussy hard into her lover's, their labias mashed between them.  \nMoving her pelvis around, Tiff kept a gentle circular motion, kissing  \nalong June's calf.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Sis said she liked her feet tickled when she's getting off,\" June said,   \n\"try it! Tickle my foot!\"  \n  \n\"Okay...\" Tiff, hesitant, began gently ticking her girlfriend's foot,  \na gentle touch moving her finger along the sole and over all four toes.  \n  \nStifling a giggle, June said, \"I think it's working! Want me to try   \non you?\"   \n  \n\"Uh... well...\" She wasn't sure. \"Okay, but if I tell you to stop,   \nyou'll stop, okay?\"  \n  \n\"No prob.\" Taking Tiff's foot, she didn't bother simply tickling.   \nHer tongue darted out, running over the girl's foot.   \n  \n\"OH!\" The feeling ran up Tiff's leg, hitting her clit, up her spine.   \n\"That tickles! But it's really...\"   \n  \n\"Makes your clit feel good, doesn't it? Mine, too!\"  \nTiff was breathing hard, trying not to laugh as she kept grinding  \nher pussy into June's, tickling the bat girl's foot.  \n  \nJune, tongue out, licked her lover's foot gently, sticking to the  \nsingle spot which made her leg twitch, the tickle spot linked by a   \nsingle nerve to the genitals.  \n  \nRubbing together, Tiff's clit worked in full force. She knew where  \nJune's sensitive spots were, pulling back her hips and smacking into  \nit hard, both girls yelping loud from the impact. Kissing her leg,  \ntickling the toes. Tiff felt June orgasm, wet fluid pumping out as  \nthe bat screamed. It was enough. Cumming right after her, Tiff moaned,  \nthighs clamping down, squeezing June's leg hard.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Stopping her activities, Tiff looked into June's eyes, leaping forth.  \n\"Feel good?\"   \n  \n\"DAMN good,\" June responded.   \n  \n\"Good.\" Tiff's tongue darted out, licking the girl's pussy. It was   \nsoaking wet, coated with the orgasm juices from both their cunts.  \n  \nJune loved it. \"Yeah, eat me, you hot bitch!\"  \n  \n\"BITCH?\" Pulling the skin back, Tiff slapped her hand down hard on  \nJune's clit.   \n  \nWincing, she was ready to scream. \"I- I didn't mean it! Tiff, you're   \ncute, sexy and nice, okay? And I love you so much!\"  \n  \nLicking gently, she replied, \"much better.\"   \n  \nLeaning up, June said, \"come on, don't leave me out! Get that pussy up   \nhere and let me taste!\" Jumping off the bed, Tiff turned her back to   \nthe wall, climbing into place and straddling June's face, leaning   \nforward to resume her rug-munching. \"Yeah, dinner time, baby!\" June,   \nwithout hesitation, began to lick and such on the raver girl's wet   \npussy.  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nTeal sat outside, Slate holding her. \"I'd ask you in, but... mom and  \ndad are probably doing things you don't need to know about, and  \nTiff and June are doing things you'd only wish you knew about,  \nso...\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I understand,\" the echidna boy said.   \n  \n\"Listen, I...\" He held out a small box.   \n  \n\"For me?\" she asked.  \n  \n\"Well...\" Slate opened it, revealing a small ring. Teal was amazed.  \nThe small emerald sat in the ring. \"Same color as your name. But, uh...\"  \n  \n\"Oh. I see. It's not just a gift, is it?\"   \n  \n\"Too soon?\" he asked, feeling let down. Pulling the ring from the box,   \nshe slipped it on, giving him a kiss. \"Teal?\"   \n  \n\"That's a 'yes', dummy! Of course I'll marry you!\" Smiling,  \nthe echidna gave her a tight hug. \"You had to have saved forever for  \na ring like this!\"   \n  \n\"Actually, I mined it from the island,\" he said. \"Well, not the ring,   \nbut the emerald. I had the ring made by one of the craftsmen.\"  \n  \n\"Your parents know?\" she asked.   \n  \nHe replied, \"Dad does, he knows I was gonna ask. Figured, with things   \nhow they used to be between dad and your mom, I'd see if he was cool   \nwith it. Mom doesn't know yet, though.\"   \n  \nShe spoke, \"then go and tell her the good news! I'll let everyone  \nknow when I get in the house.\" Kissing him again, she let him leave.  \n  \nWalking inside, she found the intercom panel. \"Mom, dad! You two better  \nget out here, I have good news!\" The second button pushed, \"June!  \nGet some clothes on and get to the living room!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Teal waited, a parade of four individuals in robed and quick clothing  \nfilling the living room. \"What's the good news?\" Rouge inquired,  \nwondering what exactly had dragged her out.   \n  \nShe displayed the ring. \"Slate and I are getting married!\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, six months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nKnuckles rarely visited Club Rouge, but today was the day for the  \nfathers to talk. Their children were to be married. \"Teal might move  \nout... I don't know how Rouge will take that,\" Tom said.   \n  \n\"Slate's got his own house now, so... don't worry, if Teal moves to the   \nisland with us, she'll be fine.\" Knuckles sighed. \"But...\"  \n  \n\"But what?\" Tom asked, wondering why Knuckles seemed to be elsewhere.  \n  \nHe said, \"Slate might move off the island. Your daughter's in GUN,  \nhe might want to live close to where she works... or even join up.  \nOur island doesn't have infinite space and the population's been going  \nup. Some of the echidnas are going to start leaving.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"We need to support them no matter what they choose.\" Taking a bite  \nof his burger, Tom said, \"we met with the doc at the fertility  \nclinic yesterday.\"   \n  \n\"Yeah? What'd they say?\" Knuckles was worried about whether or not   \nchildren were possible.   \n  \n\"Said that tests on echidna genetics are still new. Since that island   \nwas only discovered so recently they don't have decades of research.   \nSpeaking strictly, bats and echidnas aren't related too well and might   \nhave a low chance. Although...\"  \n  \nKnuckles hung on, waiting to hear the rest. \"... with Teal being half  \nhuman, it may increase the chances.\" Thomas paused. \"Or ruin the  \nchances of a genetic compatibility. They don't know.\"  \n  \nKnuckles placed his head on the table. \"I used to guard the Master  \nEmerald. Now, it's guarded by a titanium box, six inches thick.  \nI have a family and I worry more about them than I ever did about  \nthe Master Emerald...\"  \n  \nAt another table, they heard a customer ranting. \"...you seen the owner  \nof this place? Not bad, but gettin' old. What her husband outta do is   \ntreat her like money! You know, change her for two twenties! Heh!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom wasn't amused. \"Excuse me,\" he said, standing from the table,  \nstriding to the man's table and delivering a hard smack to the back  \nof his head. \"You just said something bad about my wife!\"  \n  \nThe man rolled over, somewhat dazed. \"Hey, I know you... Giovanni  \nAdriani's boy. The loser who killed off a great wine business! Your  \nfather would be disappointed in you!\" Tom recognized the man, older now  \nbut he'd been one of the old family friends, a butt-kisser who  \nsucked up to his family in the past. Rich elitist snob.  \n  \n\"I was always disappointed in my father, so it makes us even. SECURITY!\"  \n  \nThe man wasn't having this. \"You little punk! You don't even respect your  \nown family name! You don't deserve their fortune or-\" Swiftly,  \nTom sent his fist forward, into the man's kidney. Knuckles was in awe,  \nwatching from his seat.   \n  \nThree old 102-series robots walked forward, Tom ordering, \"throw this  \nbum out onto the sidewalk. If he causes trouble, deal with him as you  \nsee necessary!\"   \n  \n\"Order received,\" the lead robot said, grabbing the rude customer to   \nhaul him out of the casino. Returning to the table, Thomas sat down,   \npicking up his cheeseburger.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"WHOA! You beat the crap outta that guy!\"  \n  \n\"He'll pee red for a week. I don't need his crap. I don't need my father  \nbeing dragged into this. Old fool was a joke. I buried the old family  \nbusiness where it belongs.\" He was proud.   \n  \nKnuckles spoke, \"wow, you really didn't like your father, did you?\"  \n  \n\"You still look up to your old tribe, don't you?\" he asked.   \n  \nKnuckles responded, \"a bit, yeah.\"   \n  \n\"And the others on the island, they look down on the old tribe, don't   \nthey?\"   \n  \nSaddened, Knuckles replied, \"yeah. They do. Most of them, anyway.\"  \n  \n\"Just because someone came before you, laid the foundation,\" Tom  \nmused, \"doesn't mean they were always right.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge curled up by her husband on the couch. The old apartment above  \nthe casino was their private hideout. \"How'd it go with Knuckles?\"  \nshe asked.   \n  \n\"Went well,\" Tom replied, \"no problems.\"   \n  \n\"Heard you got security to throw some guy out.\"   \n  \n\"That was nothing,\" he said.  \n  \nShe took his hand, wedding rings rubbing together. \"Tom... with Teal's  \nwedding coming up...\" She looked him in the eyes. \"We're getting older.  \nWould it be asking too much to renew our wedding vows?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Of course not,\" he replied, squeezing her hand. \"You mean a new  \nceremony, right? It'll cost money...\"   \n  \n\"We have money,\" Rouge noted.  \n  \n  \n\"Okay,\" he said, \"why not? How do you want it? Big, elaborate? That'll  \ntake time to set up... or we could get something smaller together...\"  \n  \nShe said cheerfully, \"our anniversary is next month. I think it'd be  \na good day to have it.\"   \n  \n\"Good. I'll make the calls tomorrow then.\"  \n  \n\"Tom...\" She nuzzled tight. \"I heard the details. How that customer  \nyou threw out said you should dump me for a younger woman, and how  \nyou punched him out... I'm proud of you.\"  \n  \n\"Thanks. Come on, I want to get home. We DO have two other daughters  \nto spend time with, still!\"   \n  \n\"Right...\" Rouge stood, grabbing her purse. \"June's with them but they   \nprobably miss us...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe twins were crying. Teal knew why. The little girls were teething  \nbut they refused their teething rings. \"Come on, these will make you  \nfeel better!\"   \n  \nViolette screamed out, \"I want mommy!\"  \n  \n\"I'm here, sweetie,\" Rouge said, running into the living room. Jumping  \nup, the girls flew into their mother's arms, clinging tight. \"Teal,  \nhand me their teething rings.\" Opening the cooler, she pulled out the  \ntwo yellow objects, giving them over. \"Okay, one of you needs to sit  \ndown,\" Rouge said, Rose jumping to the couch as she put the cold ring   \ninto Violette's mouth. The child, content, joined her sister as  \nRouge placed the second teething ting into Rose's mouth.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I really shouldn't have been gone so long,\" Rouge said, sitting beside  \nher babies.   \n  \n\"They weren't too bad,\" Teal responded, \"not until their gums started   \nhurting.\" The twins calmed down, the plastic teething devices just cold   \nenough to help numb their mouths from the pain of their teeth growing   \nthrough. She asked, \"so, how'd it go?\"   \n  \n\"Your father and I are going to renew our wedding vows. Next month on   \nour anniversary!\"   \n  \n\"Whoa! Cool, mom! Probably not a bad idea anyway, I tried on your old   \ndress but it doesn't really fit me. At least someone can still wear it.\"  \n  \nCuddling her babies, she asked, \"where's June? I thought she'd still  \nbe here.\"   \n  \n\"They went off shopping,\" Teal explained, \"they want to throw me some   \nbig party.\"  \n  \n\"No male strippers, okay?\" Teal turned to find her father.   \n  \n\"Dad, no... they know I'd kick their butts if they did that. Besides,   \nnot like they'd want a guy there taking his pants off.\"   \n  \nRouge kept the next question on her tongue. It finally slipped, \"Teal,   \nwhat will you and Slate be doing when you're married?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Their daughter understood the question. \"Mom, dad, I... I'll have to move   \nout. At least for a bit. Slate and I are gonna want time alone...  \nafter that, well...\"  \n  \n\"You can move back in here later if you want to. We do have a larger room  \nthat can be set up for you two,\" Tom said. \"But we'll understand if you  \ndon't want to.\"   \n  \n\"Daddy... it's too far off to know. I know you thought I'd always be   \nhere but...\"  \n  \nStanding, Rouge hugged the girl. \"I know. My child has wings and she  \nmust fly someday.\"   \n  \nReady to cry, Teal responded, \"I'll never fly too far from you.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, seven months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe couple posed for pictures with guests, more memories to place  \nin a photo album. Rouge felt twenty again, wearing her old wedding  \ndress. \"Family picture!\" she shouted, inviting Teal to bring the  \ntwins. Rose, stubborn, was picked up by June who carried her to  \nher mother. Carefully posed, the photographer snapped the portrait  \nin the instance that the twins sat still.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Running off, the twins resumed picking at their lunch. \"What's  \ngoing on?\" Violette asked.   \n  \n\"Mommy and daddy got married!\" Rose explained, ignoring the healthier   \ntreats in favor of the cake.  \n  \nViolette was confused, her developing brain unable to process the  \nconcept. \"Mommy and daddy are already married!\"   \n  \n\"I don't know,\" Rose said. To her, it really didn't matter yet.  \n  \nLetting Tom go to mingle, Rouge smiled at her sister. \"It's nice to  \nsee you in something formal, Tiff. You're usually wearing those  \nblack shirts and such.\"   \n  \n\"Uh... like you wore standard GUN-issued  \nuniforms?\" Tiff reminded.   \n  \nRouge noted the solid black fur. \"You didn't have to take out the pink   \ndye for this, dear.\"   \n  \n\"But it's a special day for you! I didn't wanna ruin it by looking like   \nsome punk!\" She sighed. \"Probably the closest we'll ever get to this...\"  \n  \n\"Don't say that,\" Rouge said, \"I'm sure you two will be legally married   \nsomeday.\"   \n  \nJune gave her girlfriend a sly look. \"Admit it, you want to wear a   \nwedding dress!\"   \n  \n\"So I guess you'll be the groom, then?\" Tiff taunted back.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Smirking, June responded, \"no way am I wearing one of those penguin   \nsuits!\"  \n  \nLeaving the two girls to debate the details of a lesbian marriage,  \nRouge found her daughter, minding the twins. \"Teal...\"   \n  \n\"Mom. Been REAL good. Nice turnout...\"   \n  \nHugging her, Rouge said, \"just get a date set, dear, that's all you have   \nto do. Now... it's time your father and I snuck off. Guess nothing lasts   \nforever...\" Rouge was disappointed that the ceremony had to end, but it   \nwas done. Their wedding vows were renewed and she couldn't expect the   \nguests to stay forever. \"Anyway, Teal, take the twins home. Your father   \nand I will be home tonight.\"   \n  \n\"Gotcha, mom. Have fun!\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nThe door to the casino apartment flew open as Tom carried his wife  \nthrough. \"Be careful. I'd like to keep this dress put up. I might  \nwant to do this again in a few years.\" Kissing her, Tom set her down  \non the bed, lifting off the veil and setting it aside. Kicking off  \nher high heels, Rouge undid the back of the dress, the bottom sliding  \naway, leaving her in stockings. Playing with his tie, she undid the  \nribbon, pulling it free.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I think you put these on wrong,\" he said, noting her panties on  \nover her garter. \"Although...\"   \n  \n\"Do it,\" she ordered, thrusting her pelvis up to let him pull her   \npanties down. Her heart-shaped pubic fur exposed, just for him, she   \nsmiled. \"I need my tits out.\"  \n  \nReaching back, Tom unzipped the top half, the piece falling free.  \nRouge had not taken into account all the muscle she'd gained and  \nthe top was a bit tight, springing loose. Undoing the claps of the   \ngarter, he slid her stockings off, belt falling free, leaving his  \nwife completely naked.  \n  \nFaking a stretch, Rouge jumped him, pinning Thomas to the bed. Without  \na word, she undid his shirt buttons, jacket and shirt falling loose from  \nhis arms. Working down, she undid the zipper, pulling his pants and   \nunderwear off without pause.  \n  \nGently gripping his head with both hands, Rouge leaned in for a kiss.  \nLips pressed, tongues intertwined, the bat could barely breathe but she  \ndidn't care. \"Tom...\" Rolling over, Rouge placed her ass on the  \nedge of the bed, legs apart to invite him, tail sticking out.   \n\"...do me like it's our first time.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You mean not knowing what we're doing and-\"   \n  \n\"You know what I mean,\" she said, grabbing his hand, pulling him on top.   \nEasing against his wife, Tom bent his back, pressing against her hips as   \nhis hands reached behind her back and head. Soft still, Tom rubbed his   \npenis along her wet, soft opening, feeling himself becoming erect.   \nPulling back, he placed it to her opening, slowly pushing inside, Rouge   \ngrunting happily through their kiss. She was accustomed to this, every   \nnerve inside tickled and touched from the insertion.  \n  \nTom's scrotum brushed against her tail, Rouge's legs gripping around him  \ntight as if they were locked in place. She seemed to be urging him to  \nthrust harder, knees twitching. Tom was moving slow, gently pulling  \nout and pushing in, every push sending sparks through Rouge's body.  \n  \nTime lost meaning for the couple. They were sweating, lips tight, kissing  \nand fondling each other. How long had it been? ten minutes? Two hours?  \nRouge didn't care. She'd felt herself orgasm at least once but Tom  \nhad yet to climax.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Breaking free of the kiss, Tom leaned back, gripping Rouge's hips and  \nthrusting harder. She wanted to scream out a number of dirty things  \nbut all she could do was moan and grunt, fingers holding tight to the   \nsheets as her legs kept a solid lock around Tom's butt. His final thrusts  \nwere sharp, hard, slamming into her. Rouge could feel him cumming,  \nfluid pumping into her that drove her wild. She climaxed, biting on  \nher lip with a smile.   \n  \nShe literally felt eighteen again.  \n  \nCollapsing from exhaustion, Tom kissed his wife. he felt him slide out,  \na trail of sperm and pussy juices smearing her tail as his dick slid  \nalong. Panting, he said, \"we should get home...\"   \n  \n\"Hold me. Ten minutes?\"  \n  \nArms tight, Tom embraced the bat. The fire burned dim, the love making  \ndone, but the fire of their love still burned.  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \nThe twins were glad their mother was home. The two girls had no  \nunderstanding of why their parents went somewhere, nor did they need  \nto know. Teal took the box containing the wedding clothes, putting  \nthem in the closet. \"Photographer said you'll have all the prints  \nback in five days,\" Teal explained. \"And I set a date for my own  \nwedding.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Wonderful!\" Rouge shouted. \"When?\"   \n  \n\"Valentine's day,\" Teal replied. \"I know it's a bit off but Slate and   \nI have some things to do before then...\"   \n  \n\"A nice day for a wedding...\" Rouge liked it. \"But it means one less   \nday for him to buy you gifts if your anniversary is on the same day!\"  \n  \nTeal sighed. \"My greedy mother...\"  \n  \n\"Tiff!\"   \n  \nIt was Tom. \"How much can you dig into in the GUN records department?\"  \n  \n\"I have level five clearance. Not top-level but it's good. Why?\"  \n  \nHe explained, \"I want you to poke around some. Make sure I don't have  \nany unknown family members.\"  \n  \n\"Tom?\" Rouge was perplexed. \"What for?\"   \n  \n\"I want to make sure that my family gets my fortune when I'm gone. And   \nby family, I mean you and my daughters. Not some scumbag who finds out   \nhe has some genes in common and thinks he should get something for it.\"  \n  \nTeal, concerned, asked, \"dad?\"   \n  \n\"What?\" He saw her concern, a faint look of worry in her eyes.   \n  \n\"Nothing's wrong with your father, dear,\" Rouge spoke. \"Nothing's wrong   \nwith either of us. We had our physicals two weeks ago.\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'm just making sure while I still have the means, before some jackass   \ntries to make some claim. That's all.\"  \n  \n\"Oh. Well, I was gonna get dinner started. Dad, you want that steak  \nsitting in the fridge?\" Teal's mouth watered at the thought of it.   \n  \nHe replied, \"yeah, put them in the oven. It'll take longer to cook  \nbut they come out better that way.\"   \n  \n\"Eww...\" June shuddered.   \n  \n\"Please, June, just because WE can't eat meat doesn't mean they   \nshouldn't. Actually...\" She developed a wicked smile. \"...Teal, fry some  \nof that soy meat. I'm going to MAKE my sister try it!\"  \n  \n\"Soy meat?\" June had no idea what she was talking about.   \n  \n\"Fake meat,\" Tiff explained. \"Made from soybeans and artificial   \nflavors.\"   \n  \n\"It almost takes like actual meat, too!\" Teal shouted, grinning. She   \nhated soy meat and any chance to insult it, she gladly accepted.  \n  \n\"I want chicken nuggets!\" Violette shouted eagerly.   \n  \n\"Me too!\" her twin sister shouted in agreeance.   \n  \n\"Okay, looks like I'll be in the kitchen for a while...\" Without   \nargument, Teal ran off to cook dinner for the family.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge spotted the photo album. \"Ah, here it is...\" Opening the cover,  \nshe said, \"come here, everyone. June, you haven't seen these yet.\"  \n  \nTiff was excited. \"OOH! Your wedding pictures!\"   \n  \nGathering, June and Tiff pulled up chairs to look. \"Damn, you were a   \nhot bride back then,\" June said.   \n  \nTiff elbowed her. \"That's your SISTER! I'm the one who should be calling   \nher hot...\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty four years, nine months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe roof of the Adriani mansion was flat, a nice place for bats to hang   \nout at night. However, Teal felt no kinship to the tiny bats that  \nfluttered around in the night air, although sometimes she found them  \nto be cute little animals.  \n  \nLaying in the cold November air, she looked up at the stars. June  \nwas nearby. Tiff was working late in the GUN records department,  \nleaving her without her girlfriend.   \n  \n\"Three more months...\" \"Yep. We're going to look at that apartment  \ntomorrow,\" Teal noted. \"I'll miss this place but I won't be too  \nfar away. Close to my family, close to work...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I don't know. I wouldn't wanna move into someplace that's smaller  \nthan my own ROOM is...\" June commented.   \n  \nTeal replied, \"well, that's not what I'm worried about.\"  \n  \n\"Right...\" June laughed. \"You just wanna get it on with him without  \nus around.\"   \n  \nMildly offended, she shouted back, \"hey, not my fault I'm not such  \na whore like pure bats are!\" Quickly, she added, \"I didn't mean that!  \nI...\"  \n  \n\"I know,\" June said.  \n  \n\"Hey, just because we haven't done it yet doesn't mean we aren't going  \nto make some noise in the sheets!\" Closing her eyes, Teal thought  \nabout it. \"Just because mom and dad do it about every day doesn't mean  \nsex is everything... not like I don't finger every few days.\"  \n  \n\"Whoa! Teal...\" June smiled. \"so you do like it! Good girl!\"   \n  \nIgnoring her aunt, she said, \"working at GUN can be a lot of stress.  \nHelps me unwind... what do you care? I'm going to be sleeping with  \na man.\"  \n  \nJune took offense. \"Just because I'm lez doesn't mean I'd never do a   \nguy. Just... to find out what it's like. Maybe if I get curious I'll  \nask sis to let me three-way with her and Tom.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"EWW!\" Teal shook at the mental image. \"That's my DAD! And mom's your  \nsister! Nasty!\" She decided to go for a second blow. \"Anyway, I'm sure  \ndad would probably turn you down. He's too attached to mom for something  \nlike that.\"  \n  \n\"Tiff would probably freak out anyway.\" Standing, June flapped her wings.  \n\"I'm going back in.\"  \n  \n\"I'm staying up here.\" Teal watched her fly off.  \n  \n\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/709161-sonic-the-hedgehog-the-series-part-5.json"}
