Many of her belongings had been  \npacked and moved out, only larger items and some furniture remained.  \nShe hugged a pillow.  \n  \nCracking the door open, Thomas found her sitting. \"She's just in  \nthe city.\"   \n  \n\"I know. But my baby girl's flown off.\" Rouge seemed to be disappointed  \nwith her feelings. \"Is it wrong that I want her to stay here?  \nI don't care if she's getting married. We have lots of room here,  \ndoes she need to get her own place?\"  \n  \nHe sat beside her. \"You have two little girls who still need you to  \nraise them. Teal's an adult now. She'll be fine.\"  \n  \nShe asked, \"you're not worried?\"  \n  \n\"I'm going to worry every day,\" he replied, \"but I can't keep her on  \na leash. Now...\" With an arm around her, he held his wife tight.  \n\"About those two little girls...\" Taking Rouge's hand, Tom helped  \nher stand, leading her into the living room. The twins were coloring.  \n  \nSpringing up when they saw their parents, the girls ran to give them  \nhugs. \"And what are my little angels doing?\" Rouge asked.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Violette held up the drawing. \"It's me and Rose and you and daddy and   \nTeal and June and Tiff!\"  \n  \nRouge smiled.   \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nSlate waited. His GUN assessment was done. All he had to do was hear the  \nresults. \"Passed the physical tests above average, mental examination,  \nhealth screening...\" The GUN Commander extended his hand. \"Welcome  \nto the Guardian Unit of Nations!\"  \n  \n\"GREAT!\" Teal shouted. \"Knew you'd pass.\"  \n  \n\"Yes. Now, normally new recruits are placed on probationary training  \nperiods... however, I don't believe you would be best suited to  \npushing papers all day. I would like for you to become an active  \nfield agent immediately.\"  \n  \n\"Me? A field agent?\" Slate was stunned. \"Of course!\"  \n  \n\"Very well.\" The Commander made the proper notes in the file. \"However,  \nyou will only be assigned light work. Until you have received  \nproper training, you will not be issued a weapon.\"  \n  \nTeal leaned in. \"It also means I'll outrank you.\"  \n  \n\"And it means you'll be issued a proper uniform in the meantime,\"  \nthe Commander stated. \"I'll allow you to wear as you please when your  \nrank advances.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Well...\" The echidna was used to wearing no clothing, but he knew  \nwhat he was getting into. \"Okay. When do I start?\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwo boxes remained to be unpacked in the apartment. Clothes and such  \nwere put away. Finding places had been no problem as the apartment was  \npre-furnished. They'd bought minor decorations and some rugs to  \nplace around, the place slowly customized for its inhabitants.  \n  \nAll that remained were personal trinkets. Pictures, old toys and other  \nassorted items the two had kept from home.  \n  \nThe apartment wasn't large, but it was big enough for two people.  \n\"Slate, where's the scissors? I can't find them!\" Teal wanted to unpack  \nher last box.   \n  \n\"Huh... good question,\" he said, looking around. As the two searched  \nfor the elusive tool, they were shocked when a loud noise echoed through  \nthe room. \"What? Teal!\"  \n  \n\"Oh god, that-\" She hoped she was wrong. \"Thats' the fire alarm!\"  \nRunning to the window, she looked out. Her apartment faced the street.  \nSmoke could be seen. Peeking out, she saw the cause for alarm.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The pizza place next door had caught fire and the blaze, spreading  \nquick, had already taken their building, two two places connected.  \n\"Damn! Place is gonna burn down!\"  \n  \n\"We have to go!\" Slate shouted. The echidna boy was visibly panicked.  \n  \nTeal seemed to be frozen. Her new home was going up in smoke. \"Right...  \nI...\" Running, she grabbed her box, leaping for the window and flying  \nout. Slate did the same, his box of possessions held tight as he  \njumped, catching the air under his quills, floating to the ground.  \n  \nTheir boxes were set on the sidewalk. \"That's moving quick,\" Slate  \nshouted, noting the speed in which everything burned.  \n  \n\"People are still in there...\" The bat girl felt selfish, the two of  \nthem making a quick escape with their most prized possessions while  \npeople inside had to rely on stairs. The firefighters were busy  \ncontrolling the blaze but they had arrived too late. The buildings   \ncontained too much wood, allowing the burning nightmare to cut   \nthrough. \"Can you carry a full-grown human?\"  \n  \n\"Think so,\" he said.   \n  \n\"Good! We have to help those people!\" Flying to the upper levels,  \nTeal kicked in the window, soaring inside. The elderly old woman was  \nafraid. \"You'll never make the stairs with that thing!\" The old woman  \nwas held to an oxygen tank. Grabbing it, Teal braced the elderly  \nwoman and flew, balancing the weight just long enough to land. She  \nwatched as Slate landed carrying two kids.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom stopped the car, his little girls hopping from the back door.  \nThey ran towards their sister, each hugging onto a leg tight.  \n\"TEAL!\"  \n  \n\"I'm okay!\" she assured, trying to wiggle the twins free. In  \nthe air, Teal saw the three bats flying. Rouge landed safely,  \nrunning to her daughter. \"I'm okay, mom!\"  \n  \n\"Did you let the paramedics check you?\" Rouge was worried.  \n  \n\"MOM! They have lots of people who were in there longer than we were!\"   \nTeal wasn't worried about herself. She knew that she was fine.  \n  \nThey looked at the crowd. Everyone had managed to flee, thanks not  \nonly to Teal and Slate, but also to the firefighters. However, the   \nbuilding as gone. Slate carried their boxes to the car. \"We saved  \nthese... but guess everyone else lost everything. Why'd this happen?\"  \n  \nTom was mad. \"I'll tell you why this happened...\" Shouting, he wanted  \neveryone to hear him. \"This happened because this idiot city won't  \nspend a CENT on itself! They hire idiot cops and make sure tourism  \nis good. Instead of paying to have buildings renovated and repaired,  \nthey slap fresh paint and some new brick on the front! These buildings  \naren't even up to code! Old wood, old brick, old wires! The only GOOD  \nparts of this city are the business sector and anything rebuilt after  \nBlack Arms!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Pulling out his wallet, he began sorting money, handing it to the  \nvictims. \"This will help with immediate needs. It's not much but it's  \na start.\" Out of money, the checkbook came, Tom writing checks to  \npeople. It was all he could do.   \n  \nRouge helped her daughter to the car. \"It's time to go home...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal sat on her old bed, Slate holding her. \"Maybe it was a sign...\"  \n  \n\"Sign of what?\" he asked.   \n  \nShe didn't want to say it. \"That we shouldn't live there?\"  \n  \n\"That'd be hard to do now, though...\"  \n  \nTeal sniffed. Their fur still reeked of smoke. \"I mean... maybe we  \nshould just live here. I- I thought it'd be cool to move out with  \nyou, live together, get married, but...\"  \n  \n\"It's... nice.\" Slate mumbled, \"Pink, too...\"  \n  \n\"There are bigger rooms in this place, Slate. Like the old room that  \ndad's parents used to have.\" Teal never called them her grandparents.  \nThey had been dead long before she'd been born.   \n  \nThe door kicked open. \"Slate! Little bro!\" It was Striker, Slate's older  \nbrother.   \n  \n\"Strike, place is gone.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I heard. Sucks, too. You can always move back home!\" He caught their  \nstares. \"Uh, or not... hm, I'll leave you two alone, okay?\" Ducking  \nout, Striker closed the door.  \n  \n\"Sorry about that. Strike's a good guy but he's a bit, uh...\" Slate  \nthought of the word. \"He can be a bit proud of his family.\"  \n  \nIn the living room, Knuckles sat with Karen. \"I'm just glad they got  \nout of there.\" Knuckles, deep down, would have been devastated if a son  \nhad been lost.   \n  \n\"Rouge?\" Karen spoke. \"They decided on where to go?\"  \n  \n\"I was hoping that... well... I'm sure they'll think of something.\"  \nRouge didn't wish to let her desires be known.  \n  \n\"Actually,\" Karen said, \"I'd feel a LOT better if they were living  \nhere. Be a lot safer, you know.\"  \n  \nKnuckles let out a sigh.\"I used to think the Master Emerald was the one  \nthing I was put here to protect... now... I'd shatter it into a million  \npieces for my family.\"  \n  \nRouge complimented the sentiment by saying, \"and I'd give up every  \nlast jewel I owned for mine if I had to. Guess we did change, Knuckles,  \na LOT...\"  \n  \nThe two entered the living room, greeting their parents. Rouge  \nsaid, \"Teal. I don't know if you-\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Mom, Slate and I decided, we want to move in here. But my room's  \nnot big enough.\"  \n  \nRouge simply smiled. \"Pick any empty room you want, dear, and decorate  \nit however you want, okay?\"  \n  \nSlate looked at his parents, his brother beside them. Knuckles simply  \nnodded in approval. He felt a hug from behind, his sister, Sharon,  \nholding on. \"I was scared.\"  \n  \n\"I know, Sharon, but don't be, okay?\" The little echidna girl let go.  \n  \n\"Well, guess that's everything then.\" Knuckles saw no reason to stay.  \nHis son was fine, which was his only concern. \"Wait... what about all  \nthose people?\"  \n  \nTom said, \"I'm donating two million to help them. Some of them have   \nnowhere to go and they all lost everything they had. At least I can  \nhelp them rebuild.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal was happy with the large room. \"We need to get my bed and the   \nfurniture in here... what do you think about paint?\"  \n  \nSlate looked at the walls. \"Needs some touching up...  \n  \nIn the doorway, Tiff and June watched. \"My niece is back home. Glad  \nyou didn't get roasted today.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yeah, that would've been horrible!\" Tiff smiled, happy that Teal was  \nokay.  \n  \nJune gave Slate a curious look. \"What? See something you like?\"  \n  \nSlate simply stared back. \"Uh...\"  \n  \nJune giggled. \"I'm a lesbian. Means no touching.\"  \n  \nSlate turned, Teal's arms crossed, pushing her chest up. \"I don't  \nthink I'll be too disappointed by that,\" he said, taunting her back.  \n  \nDefeated, June closed her eyes. \"Damn. Oh well... Teal's got the  \nfamily goods, after all...\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty five years have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nPulling to the secure location, the G.U.N. transport vehicle was as heavy  \nas it was intimidating. Armor paneled to resist the strongest of assaults,  \nthis mere prisoner transport was built to kep its cargo inside. Stopping   \ndead, heavy wheels resting on the road, the doors opened. Armed soldiers  \npiled out, forcing the old man along.   \n  \nThis wasn't his world. The face of Ivo Robotnik but the dreams of another,  \nhe was Eggman Nega. Whatever plans he'd had in this dimension were  \ncrushed. Of all the people to put an end to everything, his counterpart in  \nthis world had switched sides years before. The one ally he'd assumed   \nreliable was a threat from the start but Nega had failed to consider such   \na turn.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Pushing open the doors from inside, Shadow the Hedgehog took lead. Sipping  \nthe coffee, shaking as the heat burned his tongue, the hedgehog kept  \na pistol ready. No danger was foreseen. Their prisoner was going nowhere  \nand Blaze was due shortly.  \n  \n\"Follow me,\" Shadow gave the order, leading the team across open space.  \n\"There!\" In the distance, shapes approached, the tall purple cat in  \nlead.   \n  \n\"You must be the G.U.N. operatives,\" she greeted, putting out a hand to  \nshake Shadow's, eyebrows cocking when he refused the offer. \"We'll  \ntake him now.\"  \n  \n\"Stupid cat!\" Eggman Nega huffed. \"Bad enough when you were just a   \nprincess. You have too much authority for a queen! Don't you have royal  \nballs to throw for your guests?\"  \n  \nUnwilling to listen, Shadow grabbed the old man and threw him to the   \nground. \"He's your mess now.\"  \n  \nGrinning wickedly, Nega spat, \"no, hedgehog, I'm not!\" as gunfire whizzed  \nthrough the air, catching two of Shadow's men in the chest. Running  \nfor cover, both teams ducked behind buildings and boxes with no time to  \ndefend themselves.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Licking at the broken tooth, Eggman shouted, \"I see my transceiver worked!  \nNow get me out of these chains if you wish to earn your pay!\" Hoisted  \nto his feet, freed of chains, he took a weapon and ordered, \"we have to  \nget to the portal. With any luck- no, we'll kill them all now. Better to  \nNOT take any chances and let the queen live!\"  \n  \nJumping high, Shadow let down cover fire as his men took aim.   \nUnfortunately, their attackers had sense to wear heavy body armor, much  \ntougher than what G.U.N. had available, and it seemed as if they'd   \nprepared. Whatever ammunition was being used was punching right through.  \nWorking on ideas as three of Blaze's guards went down, he skated  \nhead first, opening fire, hoping his direct assault would confuse these  \nmen for the few seconds needed to allow his team to regroup.  \n  \nPulling a round object from a pouch, one of Nega's men threw the  \nbomb towards the buildings. \"DAMN!\" Shadow screamed, his words drowned by  \nthe explosion. The last of his own men were down, dead or wounded.  \n  \n\"Now, to kill the queen,\" Eggman gloated. \"I can resume my work without  \ninterruption from now on. Including visiting that one dimension I learned  \nabout not long ago,\" he mumbled, \"and perhaps that scientist I saw through  \nthe gateway will be interested in becoming an ally.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"The one with the crazy white hair?\" his soldier inquired.  \n  \n\"The very one! Skilled at robotics. Now, to deal wit-\"  \n  \nHe dropped to the ground, blood squirting from an open knee wound. \"EH!  \nNo matter!\" Aiming and pulling the trigger, Eggman shot the last of  \nBlaze's people, peppering the ground by Shadow's feet. \"Cover me while  \nI tie this wound off! We MUST get going!\"  \n  \nDucking from the bullets, Blaze the Cat was beyond angered. Releasing  \nher fury, burning rage became fire, leaving her body and heating the air.  \nFlames arched like serpents, the cat's teeth bared as if fangs, her  \nsense of honor suppressed bit by bit with the death of each royal guard.  \n\"Hedgehog! MOVE!\"  \n  \nDodging the onslaught, Shadow only watched as Eggman Nega and his   \nrescuers were burned, screams from the flames the final words as the   \nvillain and his army died painfully.  \n  \nRealizing the battle was over, Shadow turned and looked. The queen was  \nthe only other person standing. G.U.N. soldiers had lost their lives.  \nThe royal guard had fallen. Eggman Nega and his mercenaries were   \nincinerated.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Cracking open the old man's jaws, Blaze pulled a tiny bit of metal from  \na broken tooth. \"The tooth was fake. I knocked that one out a few years   \nago. He put that in... must've been shielded from your scans. He broke  \nthe tooth and it let the signal out. It's how they found us...\"  \n  \nCrossed between anger and grief, Blaze rose and walked away. \"I have to   \nreturn to my kingdom. There's nothing left for me to do here. They died  \nas heroes.\"  \n  \nMaking his way to the truck, the black hedgehog grabbed the radio.   \nProtocol dictated now that he must call in and report the incident. Call  \nin and tell his commander that twelve of their men were dead. That  \ntheir prisoner was dead and Blaze was walking away.  \n  \nNo. Kicking the jets in his shoes to full power, Shadow tackled Blaze  \nand pinned the cat to the ground. \"WHAT are you doing, you idiot?\"  \n  \n\"You're not leaving until we BOTH tell what happened! You're coming back  \nwith me!\"  \n  \nShe gave him a sinister look. \"You have no authority over me!\"  \n  \n\"You don't give the orders in this world. Your title means nothing.  \nNow, come with me!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIt was quiet in the GUN Headquarters.  \n  \nNews spread fast that morning.  \n  \nTwelve Agents, all high-ranking, were dead.  \n  \nShadow was in bandages, one of only two survivors of the gun battle.  \nBlaze the Cat, the other, was meeting with the Commander now. The  \nQueen had come from her dimension to collect the criminal when they  \nwere ambushed. It became clear in the autopsy of Eggman Nega, a small  \ndevice he'd had implanted in his own body alerted his hired army to  \nhis transfer. No doubt shielded somehow from scans, no doubt activated  \nby any number of body movements or motions, simple to perform even  \nwhile in bonds.  \n  \nIn the records room, Tiff sat at the front desk, depressed. She'd known  \nevery one of the dead agents quite well. June, also depressed, had  \nyet to know everyone well, but some of their names and faces were  \nfamiliar.  \n  \nTeal was planted firm to the bench in the break room. Slate, off duty  \nfrom physical training, was with her. It was only a week before their  \nwedding date and Teal was making a hard decision.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She waited for Blaze to leave. Teal had no part of that mission, no  \nidea who the dimensional-traveling feline was, only that her presence  \nhad triggered this.   \n  \nBelieving sufficient time had passed, she grabbed her fiancée's hand.  \n\"Hey, what-\"  \n  \n\"Come on, Slate, we have something to do!\"  \n  \nShe ran to the head office, opening the door without waiting for  \napproval. \"Agent Teal. Something told me you'd be here...\"  \n  \n\"Huh?\" Teal was a bit surprised. \"But I- whatever.\" Tossing her  \nweapon to the desk, she slapped her badge down. the bat girl was   \nquitting.   \n  \n\"Teal... do you know why your mother joined this group?\"  \n  \n\"At the time, she was greedy and wanted to steal jewels,\" Teal  \nanswered. Rouge had never hidden that from her family.  \n  \nThe Commander spoke, \"she joined because she had nothing. If she had  \nbeen killed in the line of duty... well... why do you think she quit?\"  \n  \nTeal knew. \"She met dad.\"  \n  \n\"You two will be married next week. You don't need to work in this  \nbusiness. This is for those of us who were either born into it or  \nthose of us who have nothing to lose. It's not for you... why did you  \njoin?\" he asked.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She answered, \"I wanted to be like my mom. She called you, didn't  \nshe?\"  \n  \nThe Commander waved it off. \"Yes. I've already begun the paperwork  \non the discharge of both of you.\"  \n  \nSlate didn't know what to think. \"Both of us? But-\"  \n  \n\"You don't need to be in this group, risking your life.\" The Commander  \nlooked him in the eyes. \"She doesn't need to worry about whether or  \nnot you'll come home safe.\" Picking up Teal's badge, he tossed it back  \nto her. \"Keep it. Might come in useful.\"  \n  \n\"But Sir, it won't be-\"  \n  \n\"They don't have to know that,\" he said. \"Now, go turn in your uniform   \nand go home.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nHot, cooked chunks of beef were scooped into bowls while cheese slices   \nwere layered in to melt. It was Thomas Adriani's time to talk with  \nhis daughter, no one else around, and they were going to share a  \nmeal. No hamburgers, no bread, just ground beef, cheese, and spoons.  \n  \n\"Next week,\" Tom muttered. \"Next week my little girl becomes a woman  \nand walks down that aisle...\"  \n  \n\"Dad, listen, I know you'd let me just sit and leech but I can't do that.  \nSlate can't do that.\" Teal looked him in the eyes. \"We need jobs.  \nAfter the wedding and little honeymoon trip, we're going to try and  \nfind a place to work. Together.\" She sighed. \"It could've been me at  \nthat GUN slaughter today...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom looked at his little girl. \"I didn't want you to join up but I  \nlet you. I got scared when you started carrying that weapon. Getting  \ninto firefights... you think Slate would take a short business class?\"  \n  \n\"Huh... guess he could.\"  \n  \n\"Good. Then I want the two of you to run the fruit business.\"  \n  \nHer eyes lit up. \"Dad? You mean...\"  \n  \n\"Yes, the two of you should take over. It would stay in the family,  \nbe nice, quiet work, and Slate's part of the society we have the import  \nand export deal with. But... I'd have to make sure you have some  \nbusiness knowledge first. It's not just something you can pick up on  \nand run with.\"  \n  \n\"I don't have any business know-how, dad.\" Teal seemed eager but was  \nunsure.  \n  \nHe said, \"you were always a smart kid. A business class shouldn't be  \nthat hard to take. Anyway, you'd have to handle all the sales,  \npacking facilities and even maintaining the growing lands.\"  \n  \n\"You mean here and the other properties you own?\" she asked. Teal was  \nfamiliar with all the other-lying land owned by the family, used now for  \ngrowing fruit. The fields around the mansion weren't suitable for the  \nquantity needed.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yes. You'll figure it out.\" Tom stirred the meat, taking a bite.  \n\"You two thought about kids yet?\"   \n  \n\"Daddy! We...\" She shied away. \"We haven't even slept together yet.  \nAnyway, I- I don't think I'm ready yet.  \n  \nHe suggested, \"why don't you make an appointment and get a prescription  \nfor birth control, then... I know your mother would like grandkids but  \nyou don't need to rush it if you don't want.\"  \n  \nShe thought it over. \"Okay... hmm, dad, would you mind if we got a  \npet?\"  \n  \n\"Sure,\" he responded. \"Preferably something in a cage or an aquarium,   \nthough...\" Tom stirred his meat again, mixing the molten cheese.   \n\"Tiff's been pretty upset. I think what happened with GUN today had  \na big impact on her.\"  \n  \n\"Yeah.\" Teal's mind hurt just to think about it. \"I think she knew  \neveryone of them.\"  \n  \n\"I think you should go talk to her, okay? June's been a bit sluggish,  \ntoo. They both need the emotional support.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nSlate stood before the mirror. He wasn't used to wearing a full suit,  \nbut his tuxedo had to be fit to make sure it was right. Rouge stood  \nnearby. \"You look better than your father did,\" she said.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Feels weird,\" he commented. Slate looked back at the bat. \"You still  \nhave issues with my father, don't you?\"  \n  \n\"That's in the past,\" she said. She didn't feel like talking about it.  \n  \nSlate, however, did. \"I heard him talking to my mother one day a few  \nmonths ago... he said that the reason he rejected you was because he-\"  \n  \nHer ears turned. \"Tell me!\" Rouge shouted, eager to hear.  \n  \n\"He said he felt it was his duty to guard the Master Emerald.\"  \n  \n\"Well, DUH!\" she responded. That was nothing new to her.   \n  \nSlate continued, \"that's not it. He said... when he thought he was  \nthe last echidna, that he...\" The boy paused. \"Dad likes to brag about  \nhis heritage and the old tribe like he's proud of them but that's  \nnot how he really feels. He talks with my mother in private about this  \nstuff.\"  \n  \n\"It's really none of my business,\" Rouge said.  \n  \n\"But it is.\" Slate thought about the exact words. \"When dad learned  \nabout the old tribe and his destiny, he started to question his  \npurpose in life. It wasn't just to guard the rock anymore. He thought  \nthat he was born to accept punishment for the sins of the old tribe.  \nIsolation and loneliness.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge was stunned, her eyes widened. \"You mean...\"  \n  \n\"He didn't turn you down because he hated you. He turned you down  \nbecause he hated himself.\" Slate checked the tie in the mirror. \"Our  \ncity was founded by the women, children, the elderly... the ones who   \ndidn't follow Pachacamac as warriors. The ones who weren't killed by   \nChaos. But some of them stayed behind when the land rose into the sea.  \nMy father was descended from that group that stayed behind, the ones  \nwho wanted to guard the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds. Then  \nthe Chaos Emeralds were lost and the remaining ones died off, one by  \none, until it was just my father...\"  \n  \n\"He would have stayed there until he died, lonely.\" Rouge was amazed.  \n\"No wonder he kept following Sonic around. He didn't like his job  \nbut he felt like he had no choice... he wasn't too smart, was he?\"  \n  \nSlate ignored the last comment. \"I don't think my father would have  \never changed his mind about you... even if he wanted to abandon his  \nplace in life, I don't think he... it's not important.\"  \n  \n\"What?\" Rouge knew what he was going to say. \"He wasn't attracted to me.  \nWhy?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You're not an echidna,\" the boy explained harshly. \"I know that's an  \nawful thing to say, to call your own father a bigot about his species,  \nbut that's just how he is. I know I shouldn't say that, but I have to  \ndisagree with him. One thing about our culture is that we may have to  \nrespect our elders but we don't have to agree with them. The girl,  \nTikal, was right and her father led the tribe to ruin. We have to   \nquestion our parents if we feel they are wrong.\"  \n  \nRouge sighed. \"Boy... you had no idea. My mother was a good example of   \nTHAT... well, if ANYONE is going to marry my daughter, I'm glad it's  \nyou.\" Walking over to him, she gave him a quick looking over. \"Hmm...  \nlooks good. Go with the white carnation on your lapel. Pink isn't your  \ncolor. Now, get that thing taken off and packed away. You don't want  \nto damage it before the wedding. I need to go look in on the twins  \nand then go see how Tiff's doing. And Slate...\" He turned to face her.  \n\"I'm glad you two decided to leave GUN. Keep my daughter safe, you  \nhear me?\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nTwenty five years, one month have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe bride and groom were smiling as cameras flashed. Teal and Slate  \nwere married, surrounded by friends and family. The couple was happy.  \nTeal wished the moment would never end.  \n  \nRouge smiled at her daughter, proud of the road she'd taken in life.  \n  \nKnuckles was proud of his son. The Master Emerald, the old tribe, and  \nany sacred duties to them lost meaning years ago. All knuckles cared  \nabout was his family, watching his children grow up.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nMiles Prower sat by himself. His old friend Sonic found him. \"Tails.  \nYou don't seem all that happy for a wedding.\"  \n  \n\"Robotnik's sick. Couldn't make it.\" Tails cut it off there. Nothing  \nelse had to be said. Sonic was slightly concerned. Tails had yet to   \nstart a family. He was thirty-two and alone. \"What?\"  \n  \n\"What?\" Sonic asked back.  \n  \n\"Oh, right, I'm the only one here alone. I DO have a... I couldn't  \nask her to accompany me! We've been dating two weeks. You don't ask  \nsomeone to go to a wedding with you if you've been dating for two  \nweeks!\" Taking a drink of punch, Miles explained, \"I didn't say anything  \nbecause... I'd rather it go well first before I make a big deal  \nout of it. And you know Amy and Rouge, they'd butt in about it.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'll keep it quiet for know. You gonna go talk to them?\" Sonic  \nasked, referring to Teal and Slate.  \n  \n\"In a bit. Let their family have the moment right now. Funny...  \nKnuckles and Rouge are now related by the bonds of marriage.\"  \nLaughing, Miles enjoyed the thought. \"And it only took their kids  \nto make it happen. Funny, I would've thought Knuckles and Rouge would  \nhave wound up killing each other eventually. Shows what I know...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff Nightwing found Rouge playing with the flower arrangements. \"Uh... I'm  \nsorry Shadow couldn't make it for Teal's big day.\"  \n  \nRouge understood. \"The internal investigation into the incident last  \nweek. I know.\" That was a sign to end all talk of it. It wasn't  \nappropriate conversation material for a happy occasion. \"Tiff?\"  \n  \nThe black bat was looking away, her mind wandering. \"Rouge? Um...  \nwould you be okay with me asking June to marry me?\"  \n  \n\"Of course, dear,\" she said. \"I think you and June are wonderful  \ntogether. But there's something bothering you...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff explained painfully, \"I don't think the churches will let us  \nget married. We can, legally, but... anyway, the Commander of GUN  \nis authorized, but he...\"  \n  \nRouge got the idea. \"You just need me to ask him. Tell you what, you   \ntalk with my sister about it. If she says yes, I'll help with the   \narrangements.\"  \n  \nTiff could sense someone looking at her. Looking down, she saw one of   \nthe twins. \"You're getting married?\"  \n  \nTiff didn't feel it appropriate to explain the meaning of her   \nrelationship, at least, not to a little child. \"No, I'm not... which  \none are you?\"  \n  \n\"I'm Rose!\" The child kept looking at her. \"Did your boyfriend ask you?\"  \n  \nRouge sensed the nature of the topic. Scooping her daughter up, she  \nsaid, \"that's Tiff's business, okay? Now, where's your sister?\"  \n  \n\"Teal's over there,\" Rose said, pointing her out. \"And Violette's  \nwith daddy!\"  \n  \nRouge saw Tom with Violette, keeping the little girl entertained.  \nJoining him, she sat Rose down. \"Tom?\"  \n  \n\"Looks like things are winding down, but we're not going until they  \nsay it's over. Looks like they're still taking pictures,\" he said,  \nnoting the busy photographer. \"Speaking of which... I should get over  \nthere.\" Running towards them, he took place next to them. \"Uh...  \ntoo tall?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Not a problem,\" the photographer said, adjusting his zoom.   \n  \nThe photo snapped, forever an image of Thomas Adriani with his daughter   \nand son-in-law.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIt was time for the guests to leave. The wedding was over. Rouge,   \ngathering the twins, found Teal. \"So... we'll spend the night at the  \ncasino.\" She knew what her daughter was going to be doing. \"Tiff and  \nJune also have plans, so...\"  \n  \nTeal was blushing as Slate tried to look away. They didn't exactly  \nwish to advertise their intentions, but it was arranged- they would  \ngo back to the mansion while everyone else stayed clear.  \n  \nTom took his daughter's hand. \"Go on. Do... do things I don't need to  \nhear about.\"   \n  \nShe hugged him. \"I'll be careful, dad, don't worry...\" Running off,  \nthe two found their limousine, waiting to take them home.  \n  \nTom stood and watched it roll off. Knuckles was nearby. \"There they  \ngo... your daughter and my son...\"  \n  \n\"Off to... uh...\" Tom didn't want to think about it.  \n  \n\"Right.\" Knuckles kept quiet.  \n  \nVictoria was ready to leave. \"Boss! Guess you're staying overnight  \nin the apartment?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yes, we are,\" she replied.  \n  \n\"I've notified the kitchen staff and had a cleaning crew run through  \nthe apartment. Oh, and I've narrowed my replacement down to one  \ncandidate. I want you to meet her when you get there.\" Vic smiled.  \n  \nRouge said, \"then we should get going. Girls?\" The twins ran to their   \nmother.   \n  \n\"I'll get the car,\" Tom said, pulling his keys out.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom led this twin daughters upstairs. They'd never been to the casino  \nbefore, though they weren't quite sure of why they had to stay, and  \nneither Thomas nor Rouge felt they needed to be told the real reason.  \n  \nVictoria led her into the main office where an employee waited. The  \nrabbit seemed familiar somehow. \"Hmm... Cream...\" Rouge read the name   \ntag. \"I know that name...\"  \n  \n\"We met a long time ago. It was... one of the Metal Sonic attacks,  \nactually!\" Cream explained.  \n  \n\"And I invited you and your mother to the party, too!\" Rouge thought  \nback. \"That was when Tom asked me to marry him... the little girl with  \nthe pet Chao.\"  \n  \n\"Cheese? He still lives with me. My kids adore him!\" Cream smiled.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge was impressed. \"Family, too! Well, you could certainly use the  \npay raise this job would bring...\"  \n  \n\"She's the best one for the job,\" Vic offered. \"I plan to stay on  \nanother year and then pass the job onto her. That is, if you approve.\"  \n  \nRouge grabbed the employee file off the desk, but refused to open it.  \n\"If Vic says you're the best, I trust her. However, I'll be keeping a  \nclose eye on you to make sure you ARE the best. I'm not going to just  \nhand my casino off to anyone unless I'm sure they have what it takes!\"  \nShe paused, a minor air of drama filling the room. \"Charity night...  \nCream, I wnat you to plan the next charity night and run it. If it  \ngoes smooth it will be favorable for your promotion... now, I have  \na husband and two kids waiting for me. Vic, let me know if anything  \nneeds my attention. Meanwhile... I'll leave everything to you.\"  \n  \nShe left the room. Cream seemed pleased. \"Sounds good, but... she didn't  \nsay what would happen if I messed up.\"  \n  \nVic smiled. \"That's because you won't.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nTiff sat beside June. The evening air was cooling but the sun still  \noffered some degree of light. She rooted through her shopping bag.  \n\"More hair dye... some music, and... June, tell me what you think.\"  \nPulling out the ring, she handed it to June to inspect.  \n  \n\"Hmm, nice.\" June's inherited senses towards jewels kicked in. \"Cheap  \nstone, not glass, but just mimics a ruby. Ring is probably aluminum  \nwith a gold plating.\"  \n  \n\"Oh...\" Tiff was disappointed. \"I didn't have enough money for a really  \nfancy ring...\"  \n  \nJune was quick to catch on. \"This is for me? Doesn't matter what it's  \nmade of, Tiff.\" I still like it.\" She slipped it on her finger. \"You...  \nyou to this to ask me to marry you, didn't you?\" Tiff's eyes sprung   \nopen. \"Not that hard to figure. We DID just get done with a wedding  \ntoday.\"  \n  \n\"So you...\" The raver bat waited for an answer.   \n  \n\"Of course. I did put it on, didn't I?\" Leaning over, June kissed her.  \n\"Just gotta find someone who can. Stuck-up churches won't.\"  \n  \n\"I talked with your sister. She said she'd help find someone who'd  \ndo it. You want some fancy thing? Big party and lots of people?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Those big weddings are nice,\" June said, \"but I'd be happy with some  \nsmall thing. No music, no party, just get married.\"  \n  \n\"Oh... okay.\"  \n  \nJune saw the look on her face. \"But we can have something bigger. Guess  \nI'm not into the big, fancy stuff like sis is...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nMorning sun hit them. Slate's eyes burned from the light. He could feel  \nhis wife, Teal slowly touching him, his fur and skin. \"Come on, we  \nhave to get packed and get out of here for the honeymoon!\" She   \nchecked the clock. \"Although... our plane doesn't leave until noon.  \nTake us an hour to pack...\" She grabbed him. \"Come on...\"  \n  \n\"Aww.... okay, but take it easy on me, okay?\" Slate was still tired.  \n\"You were so quiet and innocent when we met...\"  \n  \n\"I am the daughter of Rouge the Bat. Guess I just needed an excuse to  \nlet loose!\" She kissed him gently.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe couple stood by the front door. Teal tried hard to get the twins  \nloose from her legs. \"Come on, I'm only going to be gone for a week!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"But we'll miss you!\" Violette said.   \n  \n\"Miss you a lot!\" Rose said.  \n  \nTeal was becoming mildly annoyed. \"I'll bring you back gifts!\"  \n  \n\"Like what?\" Rose asked, her grip loosening some.  \n  \nTeal answered, \"it's a surprise. But I can't buy you gifts if I don't  \nleave the house!\"  \n  \nThe twins relented, the promise of presents in a week easing the stress  \nof their sister leaving the house. Tom handed them an envelope of  \nmoney. \"Here, for expenses.\"  \n  \n\"But dad, I have a bank card.\"  \n  \nHe said, \"and what if you can't use it where you're going? Take it  \nin case.\" Tom hugged Teal. he was proud of his daughter, growing up  \nquickly but still his little girl.  \n  \nViolette flew up, latching around his neck. \"Don't be sad, daddy!  \nTeal is bringing us presents!\"  \n  \n\"She'd better,\" Rouge commented, giving Teal a hug. \"Be careful and  \nhave fun, okay?\"  \n  \nGrabbing her bags, Teal responded, \"I'll call you when we get there.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge fluffed the pillow, lying on her stomach. The house was quiet.  \nTeal was on her honeymoon and the twins were out with June and Tiff.  \nThe two had offered to watch the kids and take them to the  \nchildren's movie matinée so that Rouge and Tom could have some time  \nalone. She was bored. Mind racing, she tried to think of something  \nto pass time and possibly lead to romance.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Tom? Hey... wanna get the pool going?\"  \n  \n\"What? Hell no, it's got to be forty degrees outside right now...\"  \nHe looked at her. \"But if you want to put on the bikini for me...\"  \n  \n\"We were supposed to have time alone when Teal grew up. Then I wanted  \nmore kids...\" Sighing, she said, \"Tom, I wouldn't give up my girls,  \nbut I miss making love whenever we wanted...\"  \n  \n\"You mean wherever we wanted, don't you?\"   \n  \nShe grinned, eyes closed to mere slits. \"Doing it outside...\" Rolling  \nover, Rouge untied her robe, throwing it open. \"I'm starting to feel  \nold. I just want to know that you don't mind. That you still find me   \nattractive.\"  \n  \nHis hands danced, grabbing her exposed breasts. \"These still feel  \nwonderful.\" Snuggling close, Tom kissed his wife, hand still latched  \nonto her bosom. Rouge was getting horny. She was already halfway there,  \nand Tom's eagerness only pushed her. Sucking on his lips, Rouge  \ntasted and savored the kisses. She couldn't help herself. Reaching  \ndown, the bat began to touch herself, slowly sliding two fingers up   \nand down the slit.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She was aging but she wasn't losing her sex drive, or her physical  \nability. Already wet, Rouge let the dampness lubricate her hand as  \nshe rubbed, pinching gently around the clit. She hadn't masturbated in  \nsome time, often succumbing to either sex, oral action or being   \nfingered. In fact, she hadn't fingered herself since she was eighteen.  \n  \nFuriously, Rouge paced from gentle rubbing to hardcore fondling, her  \nwhole hand in on the action, even slapping it hard to stimulate the   \nclit. Her pussy liked it rough, hand slapping harder. Sure that the  \nhood of skin was back, clit exposed, her fingers pinched on it,  \nrubbing harder as she reached climax, almost screaming through the kiss.  \n  \nReleasing the grasp on her mouth, Tom said, \"think you had fun there...\"  \n  \n\"I...\" She was slightly embarrassed. \"Didn't mean to start without  \nyou.\"  \n  \nHe looked down at her cunt. \"Can I play with it, now that you're done?\"  \n  \nDesperate for more, she parted her legs. Tom eased down the bed. \"Wow,  \nit's all red. I'll kiss it and make it better.\" Gently smooching  \nthe labia, Tom took a strong breath, smelling her. Gently poking his  \ntongue out, Tom touched her clit gently, causing her to wince.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"DAMN! Oh.... think I was too rough on it!\" she shouted.  \nFingers touched around as he pulled the hood down over it. \"There...\"  \nGently kissing her inner thigh, keeping only around the vagina,  \nhe waited for her nerves to cool off.   \n  \nRouge ran her fingers through his hair, her foot brushing against his  \ndick. \"Tom...\" She looked him dead in the eyes. Tossing his robe to  \nthe floor, he exposed his naked body. Built by two decades of  \nexercise, he still had decent muscle for a man of forty-five. Rouge  \ntook great notice of his erection. \"Glad to see that's not suffering   \nfrom old age,\" she said, grabbing and squeezing it.  \n  \n\"Ever worried it'll stop working down the road?\" he asked, encouraging  \nhis wife to give it a few tugs.  \n  \nShe laughed. \"Hardly... I'll always have a way to get this to stand  \nat attention...\"  \n  \nTom enjoyed her hand easing back and forth. \"Want me to cum on your  \ntits?\"  \n  \nShe let go. \"Yes... but not now! Come on... sit up for me...\" Resting   \nagainst the headboard, Thomas eased back, penis pointing up, Rouge   \ninvited to have a seat. Rising from the bed, the bat tossed off her   \npink robe. Hands behind her head, she stretched out, giving him a full   \nview. \"You want me?\" Sticking a finger in her mouth, Rouge slid it in  \nand out to tease him.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;His hands grabbed her hips, pulling her close. \"Got a seat ready, all  \nyours. Think you'll like it...\"   \n  \nDropping to her knees, Rouge slowly eased down, gently forcing his  \ndick inside of her. Her pussy was still sore from the slapping she'd  \ngiven it, but she didn't care. Arms around her lover, Rouge leaned  \nin as the two pressed lips, tongues tied together. Tom placed one  \nhand on her ear to rub it, the other on her ass to squeeze. She hoisted  \nback gently, saying, \"tickle my butt... I like it\"  \n  \nRouge began to bounce, Tom's fingers reaching under her tail to tickle  \nher butt hole. She groaned, muffled by the kiss, forcing herself up  \nand down faster. Rouge was ready to climax. Leaning her head back,  \nshe mouthed, \"cum for me,\" urging Tom to orgasm. She could feel him   \nrocking underneath her, faster and harder. He was ready to blow.  \n  \nScreaming, she could feel him, cumming inside, hitting the opening of  \nher uterus deep within with each bit that squirted out. Rouge loved  \nit. She climaxed, hips shaking violently to grind, intensifying the   \nfeeling. Grunting like a wild animal, she cooled down, sweaty and tired.  \nFalling forward, Rouge pressed against Tom's body, smiling with glee.  \n\"Want to cuddle?\" he asked.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Damn right I do!\" she shouted back, arms wrapping behind his back with  \na tight grip. \"Wanna do this again when you're ready?\"  \n  \n\"I even have a choice?\" he begged.   \n  \nShe was still mounted. \"Hmm... not really, no.\"   \n  \nHis dick was going soft, she could feel that much easily, the hard  \nrod up inside her feeling smaller. But all she had to do was wait.  \nGive him a few minutes, keep making out, and he'd be hard shortly.  \nIt took longer now, certainly, as Tom was, indeed, getting older, but  \nshe didn't mind. For now, the two would kiss and touch.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom was on the edge of the bed, Rouge on her knees, his dick stroked   \nfuriously. \"This is going to be rather messy in just a bit, babe!\"  \nhe shouted out, breathing heavily.   \n  \n\"That's what I want, Tom!\" Her hand worked fast, gliding back and  \nforth. Rouge's eyes were fixed on it, waiting to watch her husband  \nejaculate. Her free hand squeezed a breast. Rouge was still horny but  \nsometimes she just wanted to play around with the sex stuff. It didn't  \nalways have to be romantic or last for hours.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom brushed a hand over her ear, gently, as he said, \"love you, Rouge.\"  \nShe had no time to respond as he came, shooting globs of sperm onto  \nher chest, over her tits and nipples, some dripping down to her knees.  \nGrinning like an idiot, Rouge responded, \"I'll always love you, too!\"  \n  \n\"That's actually kinda nasty to look at...\" he commented, \"but damn,  \nyou know how to work a stick!\"  \n  \nShe'd never admit it, but Rouge liked being covered in his sticky  \njizz. Her fingers played with it. \"I need to wash off, I guess...  \nlet me see...\" She looked at the clock. \"June said she'd have the   \ntwins home by four, and it's only one-thirty now...\"  \n  \n\"Bath time,\" he said, picking her up. \"I'll get you cleaned up.\"   \nCarrying the bat into the bathroom, he set her to her feet. Climbing  \ninto the large bathtub, he sat as she grabbed the bottles of soap.  \nRather than turn on the faucets, she sat, back to his chest, wings  \nflattened out. \"Hey, we can't get clean without water!\"  \n  \nShe said, \"finger me first. Only fair...\"  \n  \nFeeling dirty, Tom said, \"fair IS fair...\" as he ran a few fingers  \nthrough his own mess, gathering a thick wad of sperm before placing his  \nhand to her pussy.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You dirty boy! That's what I want!\" she shouted out. Rouge was rather  \npleased with what he'd done.   \n  \nHe could feel her tail, his dick resting on top of it. \"Some guys might  \nbe a bit weirded out by that...\"  \n  \nShe asked, \"my tail? Tickles, doesn't it?\" She wiggled it gently,  \nin what little range she could move it.   \n  \nTom continued, \"that feels pretty good. Wanna do it again when I get   \ndone with you?\" He poked two fingers inside of her, gently prodding  \nher g-spot.   \n  \nRouge moaned. \"Yeah, baby! I'll turn the water on when we're done.  \nNo need to get that stuff in the way!\"  \n  \n\"Clean up after we get messy, not during,\" Tom remarked, pushing his  \nhand deeper inside, his other hand squeezing her tits. He didn't care  \nabout the mess of sperm on them, he just wanted to feel them. Kissing  \nthe back of her head, he managed to get a sharp yelp of pleasure out  \nof his wife.  \n  \nShe could feel his penis, harder, leaving a trail of precum on her back.  \nShe was ready to cum again, Tom's hand working her pussy with expert  \nprecision. Hips squeezed tight, a shaking moan from her lips as Rouge  \nagain reached orgasm. Not as strong as could be, but decent enough.  \nSimply being rubbed wasn't as stimulating to her as penetration.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Turning to face her lover, Rouge knew the tub surface wasn't a wonderful  \nplace to sit for this. Hard and uncomfortable. \"Hee...\" Licking her  \nlips, sliding him inside, she promised, \"I'll make this quick!\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty five years, two months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nMorning hit like a hammer, the sun waking Tom Adriani as it tore  \nthrough the gaps in the curtains. It was the day his daughter was  \ndue home from her honeymoon trip.\u0026nbsp; Throwing the covers free in an   \nattempt to wake his wife, he failed. Rouge was still sound asleep,  \nwings curled up, hugging her pillow and muttering Tom's name in   \nher sleep.  \n  \n\"She thinks she's awake, how cute...\" Rouge wasn't wearing clothes,  \nher preferred sleepwear. Her leg was kicked up and he could see the  \nwet stain on the bed. \"Damn... not even awake and she's already  \nin the mood...\"  \n  \nTom chose to have a bit of fun. His finger gently touched Rouge's  \nvagina, easing along slowly. \"Mmmm, Tom...\" she groaned, still  \nasleep but wrapped up in her dream.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;He thought it nice, she dreamt of him and not one of any number  \nof romantic interests she may have had. After all, the one time she'd  \nsaid Shadow's name while asleep also happened to be the time  \nshe awoke frightened, and clung to Tom the entire day as if to  \napologize. Tom hadn't been angry but Rouge still acted guilty over it.   \nThough that had been fifteen years ago and long since forgotten.  \n  \nThomas rubbed slowly. He could see her smiling. She said gently,  \n\"Tom, your tongue feels nice...\"  \n  \nLeaning in to whisper, he said, \"that's not my tongue...\" Her eyes   \nsprang open. \"Morning. Sleep well?\"  \n  \nHer face turned a light shade of pink. Not quite red but still a sign  \nthat she was embarrassed. \"Huh... Tom? Was I talking in my sleep  \nagain?\" she asked.  \n  \n\"Yep,\" he replied.   \n  \n\"I know you were in my dream, Tom!\"  \n  \nHe got a sinister idea and said, \"funny, I don't THINK my name is  \n'Tiff'...\"  \n  \nHer eyes widened, only to return to normal. \"Funny! Screw the dream,  \nI'm awake...\" Rouge looked at him invitingly.   \n  \nTom replied, \"you know we don't have time to get wrapped up with that.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Climbing towards him, she nodded. \"But we do have time for some  \nquick fun... please? I hate to beg for sex, but-\"  \n  \n\"Not the impression I ever got,\" he shot back, smiling at her.  \n  \nShe licked her lips. \"You know you love it! Anyway...\" She paused,  \nreaching down to play with herself. \"My pussy's on fire. I'm horny...  \nif I get myself off I'll be at this for an hour. You know how I am.\"  \n  \n\"A bit harder to please than most species, right,\" he replied. Tom was  \naccustomed to Rouge's sex drive. Normal for bats but high for much  \nanyone else.  \n  \nRising to her knees, the bat turned away. Tom watched his wife bend  \ndown, ass in the air, a hand reaching back to grab her butt, pulling  \ngently out to spread her pussy open slightly. \"I love you. That's why  \nI want you so bad right now...\"  \n  \n\"Okay,\" he agreed, \"we can do it once, just to get you off. IF you  \ntell me what the dream was about.\"  \n  \nShe answered, \"okay... we were at the beach, sunset, just you, me,  \nand a towel. No one around, screwing in the open sea air....  \nevery position, every dirty little touch...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You put lotion on my dick?\"  \n  \n\"Not lotion,\" she answered. \"KY jelly... I had some with me.\" Rouge  \nwas rubbing her pussy harder. \"I know we don't use it but remember?  \nI bought some when we were still using the pool because I don't  \nwant that suntan lotion getting inside me...\"  \n  \nPulling his pants off, Tom was hard, waving it for her to see. She  \nwas beyond horny. \"Grab my hips, pull me to the edge,\" she ordered,  \nTom grabbing on and sliding her across the sheets. Rouge wiggled her   \nass, Tom planting his feet on the floor. \"You want my pussy? You  \nwanna fuck me? Come on, Tom, show me how much you love me. I love you,  \nand I want your hard dick in me now!\"  \n  \nHe slid in with little resistance. Usually, Thomas would start slow,  \nbut his lover was already in the mood. Thrusting hard, he managed  \nto make her scream, groaning with each quick jab into her. He loved te  \nway her g-spot felt on the bottom of his cock, how her muscles   \npractically crushed his shaft, how hot it was. How each thrust made  \na squishing sound as skin hit skin from all the moisture.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Her knees braced, Rouge let her chest drop, head to the mattress,  \ntongue hanging out as she reeled in pleasure. Sliding a hand under  \nher body, she pinched a nipple. Her other hand, without thinking,  \nmade its way for her clitoris, rubbing hard as her husband gave it  \nto her from behind. Working away like a jackhammer, Tom was ready.  \nHe could feel it, the intense feeling against the head of his penis,  \nthe sign he was about to ejaculate. \"Gonna fill you up with my love  \njuice, Rouge!\"  \n  \nTom's last few thrusts were hard, sharp, intense, making his orgasm  \nfeel much harder. Rouge could feel it, the sensitive nerves in her  \nvagina able to detect everything- the temperature, the fluid pumping  \ninside- she could feel Tom creaming his load. Same as she could the   \nfirst time they made love over twenty-five years ago. Her screams of  \norgasmic bliss were muffled some by her tongue. Rouge licked her  \nlips, enjoying every spark of pleasure that was firing inside her  \npussy.  \n  \nShe was satisfied. For now, anyway.  \n  \nRolling over, Rouge wanted to catch her breath. She didn't expect   \nThomas to fall on top. \"Kiss me,\" he said, closing his eyes and  \nleaning his face down. She offered no resistance, their lips sucking  \non each other, tongues tasting each other's mouths.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She enjoyed this. \"Sometimes, Tom, I think the best part of sex is   \nafter we're done...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe front door opened. \"We're HOME!\" Teal shouted, carrying her bag in.  \nWithout so much as time to prepare, she found two children latched onto  \nher legs. \"Okay, come on, I can't walk with you two hanging  \nthere!\"  \n  \n\"You want these?\" Slate asked, holding two small bags out. The  \ntwins let go, taking their presents.  \n  \n\"I missed you, Teal!\" Violette said.  \n  \n\"Yeah, glad you're home, big sister!\" Rose said, clutching her  \ngift bag tight.  \n  \nThe twins ran off to open their gifts. \"Hmm, they really are glad you're  \nhome...\" Slate commented.   \n  \nTeal gave him a nudge. \"They're not even two yet. They'll be back. MOM!\"  \nThey entered the living room where her parents awaited.   \n  \n\"Teal... glad you're back. Hope you brought pictures!\" Rouge held up  \na large bound album. \"This was delivered yesterday!\"  \n  \n\"Our wedding pictures!\" Teal was excited.   \n  \n\"Speaking of pictures,\" Tom said, \"how was Soleanna?\"  \n  \nSlate replied, \"very nice. We got to meet Queen Elise at the   \ncarnival. Right, these are yours.\" He handed the two their gift  \nbags.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Soleanna... Tom, we need to go there one day,\" Rouge said. \"Funny,  \nreally... I could swear I'd been there before, but I KNOW I haven't...  \nwell, enjoy.\" She handed over the album. \"Tiff and June will be home  \non time and they'll want to see you two, so...\"  \n  \n\"Mom...\" Teal gave her a look. \"I know that...\" Grabbing her husband's   \nhand, she gently led the echidna away. \"Come on, we have to unpack!  \nTrip's over... oh!\" Stopping her escape, she ran to her parents,  \nhugging them both. \"Love you two. Mom, dad...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"I, uh... finished looking into that thing you asked about,\" Tiff  \nsaid, greeting Thomas in the kitchen. \"Took a while, but...\"  \n  \n\"And?\" He was eager to hear the results.  \n  \nShe said, \"nothing. I cross-referenced all worldwide medical DNA  \nrecords in GUN files and there aren't any direct family members  \nanywhere... well, not counting people on your mom's side but they  \nwouldn't count...\" Tiff sat at the kitchen table, rather depressed.  \n  \n\"Something's wrong,\" he noted.   \n  \nShe sighed. \"I... well...\" Tiff was stuttering. \"Okay, June and I talked  \nabout kids.\" She explained, \"you know we can't have kids on our own,  \nbut watching the twins, it's really made us think about it, and we  \nARE getting legally married soon...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You want to know if I'll let you adopt a kid or something? I don't  \nmind,\" Tom replied. \"I'll help if you need it.\"  \n  \n\"No,\" Tiff blurted out. \"We don't want to adopt...\"  \n  \n\"I see.\" Tom understood.  \n  \n\"You don't,\" she muttered, \"see, there's this thing they can do, instead  \nof picking a guy donor, they can actually take genes from one of us  \nand... basically, one of us would be the father. But it's REALLY  \nexpensive...\"  \n  \nHe dreaded to hear. \"How much?\"  \n  \n\"Twenty million... and I'm not asking you for that much money.\" She  \nwas sad, such a hope crushed by such a high cost.  \n  \nTom sat at the table, across from her. \"Tell me more about it.\"  \n  \nTiff looked up. \"Uh... well, they guarantee results or you don't   \npay. They take live skin and blood cels and build a DNA code that can  \nwork inside the donor sperm. We could do it the normal way but then  \nour kid would be someone else's and...\"  \n  \nRising, he began to walk away. \"I'm sure something good will come  \nyour way.\"  \n  \n\"Teal's at that business class, isn't she?\"  \n  \n\"Yes,\" he said, \"she went with Slate. I can't let them run the fruit  \ncompany unless they know what they're doing.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff watched him walk off. She knew, no surprises, that he would   \nprobably talk with Rouge about it. Tiff didn't want to ask for any  \nmoney from them, but refusing to accept would be unthinkable. Part of  \nher wished she'd kept it to herself.  \n  \nHeading for her room, she found June watching television. \"Rough  \nday?\"  \n  \n\"Not really,\" she answered, flopping on the bed.  \n  \nJune could tell she was lying. Turning off the set, she jumped onto the  \nbed beside Tiff. \"Come on... can't be that bad...\"  \n  \nThe raver bat looked her lover in the eyes. \"June...\" Tugging up her  \nshirt, Tiff's left breast popped free. \"I don't feel like going out  \ntonight...\"  \n  \nJune understood. Unzipping her top, she let her tits spring forth,  \nlying back down with a smile. \"Here, I'll help you get out of those  \nclothes...\" Hands grabbed Tiff's shirt, pulling it over the bat's  \nhead. June licked her lips, mouth immediately suckling on Tiff's  \nchest.  \n  \n\"Yeah... that's nice,\" Tiff muttered, feeling her girlfriend's naked  \nback, between the wings and along the spine. \"Can I?\"  \n  \nRelenting, June rolled over. Tiff loved her boobs, so big and full  \nlike soft pillows. Hands cupped them, licking and teasing. The black  \nbat wanted more. Grabbing the zipper, she undid June's pants, hand  \nsliding in to feel the smooth skin of her shaved pussy. \"Let me eat   \nyou...\" Tiff muttered, pulling the jeans down.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;June grabbed her ears. \"Eat every bit and you'll get something good.\"  \n  \nHer tongue worked like mad, licking up and down June's hot cunt.  \nTiff enjoyed the flavor, sucking her juices in and swallowing what she  \ncould. June was moaning loud, her legs wrapped around the head of  \nher love. \"Hey, some room here!\" Tiff shouted, June relenting and giving  \nher some freedom.  \n  \nShe was losing control. Thighs squeezed together, vagina tingling like  \ncrazy. Tiff stopped and yanked her work pants down. \"I'm so horny...\"  \n  \nJune liked what she saw. Tiff's fur dyed bright pink and kept neatly   \ntrimmed. She begged, \"turn around and show me your ass... I like   \nyour ass!\" Eager to please, Tiff did so, tail wiggling, showing off  \nher smooth, well-defined butt. She was getting hornier. The stress of  \nthe day had to be taken away and an orgasm would do just that. Reaching  \nbetween her legs, Tiff rubbed herself, legs parted to give June a full  \nview from behind.  \n  \n\"Stop that and get down here!\" June shouted. Tiff pressed in hard,  \nlegs intertwined, grinding her little cunt into June's, their pelvic  \nregions grinding together, relying solely on their wetness for   \nlubrication.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff was in charge this time. \"Tell me how pretty I am!\" she demanded,  \nher hips humping back and forth like a man's, slapping her clit into  \nJune's flesh hard.  \n  \n\"You're so fucking pretty, Tiff, I can't wait to eat you out sometimes!\"  \nJune was ready to climax. She couldn't wait anymore. Groaning loud,  \nbreath shortened, she reached orgasm as Tiff kissed her, the sensation  \nalmost too much. She knew why. Her lover was still grinding,  \npussies rubbing together. Tiff had yet to cum and June's clit was  \nin the middle of orgasm. \"STOP! I'm too sensitive!\"  \n  \n\"Just another second, just ano....\" Screaming out, Tiff hit climax,  \npressing in hard but stopping her assault, too intense to keep  \nthrusting her hips. Teeth gritted, she collapsed, kissing June hard.  \n\"You like?\"  \n  \n\"I liked it, yeah,\" June responded. Tiff nuzzled her head in tight,  \nthe girls holding each other.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge was in the living room with the twins. The girls were watching  \ncartoons, old video recordings they'd had when Teal was little.\u0026nbsp; She   \nsaw her sister passing by, Tiff following behind. \"June! Come here,  \nwould you?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The two made their way to the couch. \"Tom told me about what Tiff  \nsaid, and-\"  \n  \n\"I shouldn't have said anything, really,\" Tiff blurted out. \"it's not  \nyour problem.\"  \n  \n\"Tiff, listen to me.\" Rouge smiled. \"Twenty million is a lot of money,  \nbut we can spare it. BUT...\"  \n  \nJune commented, \"yeah, nothing's free, is it, sis?\"  \n  \n\"June... I'll make you a deal. You two get married and I'll give  \nyou the money. But only after a year has passed. That sound fair?\"  \n  \nThe girls looked at each other. \"Sounds VERY fair to me,\" Tiff said.  \n\"Yeah, sis, that sounds cool. But you sure about this?\" June asked.  \n  \nRouge replied, \"very sure. My mind's made up and this matters to  \nboth of you. So... might as well. Anyway, if you two are married it'll  \nbe better wen you're included in our will and if the child is yours  \nin every way then it'll be better for it.\"  \n  \n\"Will?\" June was a bit unnerved. \"But sis, isn't that-\"  \n  \n\"Thinking ahead?\" The bat brushed it off. \"Of course... never hurts to  \nbe prepared.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nTwenty five years, three months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTom checked his suit in the mirror. It was a wedding day and he wanted  \nto look good. Standing on the chair, Rouge reached his neck, adjusting  \nthe tie. \"You never could get one of these on....\"  \n  \n\"One of many things I need you for, Rouge,\" he said, kissing her.  \n  \nShe was dressed in one of her best formal outfits. Black business  \nsuit with a pink shirt, dark stockings and a tiny heart pin on the  \nlapel. \"The Commander will be here soon. We don't have to rush this.\"  \n  \n\"I know, but... well,\" he muttered out, \"your sister's getting  \nmarried, right her in our living room, but doesn't mean she shouldn't  \nhave a decent ceremony. Crap, the pictures, who's gonna take the  \npictures?\"  \n  \nRouge answered, \"a GUN employee is coming with the Commander to do  \nthat. Don't worry.\"  \n  \n\"Hmm...\" Tom was curious. \"We always call him the commander of GUN.  \nDoesn't he have a name?\"  \n  \nRouge answered, \"of course he does!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff was already in her wedding dress, or rather, Teal's wedding dress.  \nShe sat in the living room, phone in hand. \"Daddy... I'll bring  \nTiff by to see you very soon.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"That's okay, don't trouble yourself,\" the man said.   \n  \n\"No trouble, daddy. Listen, June and I need a vacation anyway so we  \nshould visit you.\"  \n  \nThe man asked, \"and your mother?\"  \n  \n\"Mom...\" Tiff didn't want to think about it. \"Mom told me what she  \nthought about me. Anyway, work's been good and it's been fun living  \nhere.\"  \n  \n\"Right, you live in that big mansion now!\"  \n  \nShe said, \"listen, daddy, I have to go. They'll be here soon to start  \nthe wedding. I'll call you in a couple days, okay?\"  \n  \nThe voice answered back, \"I love you, Tiff. You have fun and don't  \nworry about me, okay?\"  \n  \nShe said her goodbyes, the receiver clicking down. Teal was watching.  \n\"Your father?\"  \n  \n\"Yeah.\" She seemed sad. \"Daddy was mugged a few years ago, got shot.  \nThe doctors saved him, but he's in a nursing home under care. He  \nlost both lungs and they could only give him one. I don't get to see him  \nmuch, but we talk on the phone a lot.\" Tiff knew that Teal wanted to  \nask but was being polite. \"Mom and dad were already fighting when I  \ncame out, but it pissed mom off bad and they got divorced. Daddy was  \nokay with it but not mom. I don't see her or talk to her. Does that  \nmake me a bad person?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I want to say it does,\" Teal answered, \"but honestly, I don't think   \nso.\" Tiff was mildly surprised by her answer. \"Mom and dad always  \nsupported me. That's what parents are supposed to do, love their  \nchildren. If I'd come out gay, mom would've defended me to the very  \nlast. Mom's a bit of a wild animal like that about her family. Anyway...  \nI need to get the twins ready.\"  \n  \n\"They carrying the rings?\" Tiff asked.  \n  \n\"Yeah. I know they might not understand two women getting married,  \nbut they'll have to learn eventually. They need to know to accept  \nsomething like that and not hate it.\"  \n  \n\"Thank you, Teal.\"  \n  \n\"Slate's getting ready. I know you won't get a big wedding but you'll  \nhave something to remember.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nEveryone gathered in the living room. Furniture was pushed aside, making  \na nice little aisle. Tom had found a small podium amongst the old   \nfurniture and carried it himself. The Commander stood by it, signing  \nthe marriage certificate. \"Now then... I've never performed such a   \nceremony, and unfortunately I have other matters to attend to, so...\"  \nHe produced the paper. \"All you need to do is sign.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;June and Tiff walked forward. The twins held up the rings, the two  \nslipping them onto each others fingers. Taking their pens, each one  \nsigned their name. \"And that's it. You two are now legally married.\"  \nOpening his laptop, the Commander scanned the document, putting it  \ninto legal public record.  \n  \nThe photographer took pictures of everyone, single and in groups.  \nContent that enough pictures were taken, Tom gave him permission to   \nleave.  \n  \nTiff looked her wife over carefully. \"You look... very pretty.\"  \n  \n\"You too,\" June replied. \"Sis let me wear her old dress. So, uh...\"  \n  \nTiff blushed. \"Wanna change and go hit the town?\"  \n  \nRouge approached them. \"June, I'm proud of you. My little sister got  \nmarried! So...\" She could see they wanted to be alone. \"Tell you  \nwhat. That Twinkle Park in Station Square lets couples in free. Might  \nbe a nice place to go... just a thought...\"  \n  \n\"If they let us in,\" June commented.  \n  \nRouge smiled. \"If they won't, then call me and I'll make them.  \nSound good? Actually...\" She looked over to Tom. \"Teal?\"  \n  \n\"Yes, mom?\" she asked.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Teal, think you could watch the twins for a bit?\"  \n  \nShe looked over at Slate. He had no objections. \"Sure, mom.\"  \n  \nRouge took Tom's hand. \"Come on, you and me having some fun outside  \nof the bedroom for a change...\"   \n  \nHe squeezed her hand back. \"Sure. But let's give the newlyweds SOME  \nroom, okay?\"  \n  \nShe seemed offended. \"Tom, I'm not going to spy on my sister. Just...\"  \nRouge trailed off. \"Okay, I'm curious. I just want to make sure  \nshe's not gonna be uncomfortable around others.\"  \n  \n\"Please, sis.\" June gave her a hard nudge. \"Never was, never will  \nbe.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty five years, four months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge lay on her side, propped up by her left arm. Head turned to look  \nat Tom who was straddling her leg. Tom braced her right leg, wrapped  \naround his chest, thrusting hard. Rouge held onto her breast. It  \nhad been flopping around and she wanted to keep it steady. \"Yeah...\"  \nRouge was having the time of her life. \"Keep doing that!\"  \n  \nReaching down, Tom grabbed her butt. \"Feels different going in this   \nangle,\" he said, \"kinda... good!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge looked down at her crotch. The angle wasn't great but she could  \nsee him sliding in and out of her. Watching this only made her more   \nsensitive. \"YES!\" She was moaning louder. \"Come on, big boy, you can  \ndo it!\"  \n  \nReaching downward, Tom found her clit, rubbing it best he could  \namidst the shaking below. She was screaming her head off. The bat had  \nbecome a wild animal, her raw sexual instincts taking over, reaching  \norgasm quickly. Gripping the sheets, she released her tit, letting  \nit bounce around as Thomas kept up his hard pounding. \"Oh god that  \nwas great! You're not ready yet?\"  \n  \n\"This position's a bit odd,\" he explained, \"but I'm getting there!\"  \n  \n\"Wait,\" she said. \"Let me roll over!\" Pulling out, Tom relented,   \nallowing his wife to get onto her back, butt at the edge of the bed.  \n\"Okay... see these?\" She jiggled her massive boobs playfully. \"Make  \nthese shake!\"  \n  \nDropping slightly, he stuck his rod back inside to a more familiar  \nfeeling. Rouge had placed both arms behind her head, smiling at him.  \n\"Come on, Tom, make them smack me in the face!\" she shouted out,  \ninviting him to resume.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Grabbing her hips tight, he began to work, slowly, forcefully,   \nincreasing speed. She groaned and moaned, pussy ready for a second  \norgasm, feeling her tits shaking. Tom wasn't content with this,  \nrather, he began pulling back further, holding on tight to drag her  \nalong with each thrust, using the bed to slide his wife along.  \n  \nHer face turned, full of surprise and stimulation. Some women would find  \nit too much, too forceful, but she loved it. Holding her chin down,  \nshe felt her tits smacking her mouth, teeth gritting with a grin.   \n\"Good boy! Now fuck me like you mean it, Tom!\"  \n  \n\"You know one thing I like so much about you, babe?\" he asked.  \n  \nShe answered, \"my charming personality?\"  \n  \n\"The fact you cum so damn easy!\"   \n  \nHe was right. She was nearing climax again. It had only been about  \nfour minutes since her last. \"Big deal, this is fun!\" The couple had  \nbeen doing it more often lately, sneaking it in during private  \nmoments. They knew why, a silent agreement that they should have  \nsex as much as possible while they still could. They were both aging.  \nThe days of youthful fun were long gone but that wasn't going to  \nstop them from trying.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Okay... yeah, I'm gonna cum!\" he shouted, thrusting harder now.  \n  \n\"Fill me up! Fill me up! I want it!\" she screamed. Rouge felt something  \ncold, directly on her clitoris. She was near orgasm and it sparked   \nthrough her body. She looked down to see Tom's hand, holding his wedding  \nring to her vagina. \"Oh god... I love you, Tom! I- YES!\" She climaxed,  \nejaculating her squirt hard, spraying her lover's pelvis with a full  \nblast of clear fluid.  \n  \n\"Oh, wow! That's hot!\" he commented. \"My turn!\" he final few pumps  \nsharp and hard, Tom came, intensifying every second without missing  \na beat, pumping it into her pussy. The couple began to relax, their  \nfun over. Rouge's knees were bent, clamped to the bed. Dropping to  \nthe mattress, Thomas curled up beside his wife. \"Feel good?\"  \n  \n\"Mmm, yes,\" she answered, turning over to wrap her arms around him.  \n\"Cuddle time.\"  \n  \n\"Love you,\" he said.   \n  \n\"Love you,\" she said back. \"I know I said it, but... I think it means  \nmore if I'm not screaming my head off in pleasure.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nJune lie naked on the bed, pussy still wet. Tiff stretched, displaying  \nher nudity. She glistened in the light, covered in liquid. June had  \nsquirted all over her, a surprising eruption that had caught the rave  \nbat off guard. \"Bet I can make you squirt!\"  \n  \n\"I don't know...\" Tiff wasn't sure. \"Seems real hard to do.\"  \n  \n\"Come on, doesn't mean you can't do it, Tiff! Anyway, even if you  \ndon't, you'll still get your box munched. Come here...\" June said,  \ninviting her lesbian wife back to bed.  \n  \nShe relented. \"Okay...\" Laying flat, Tiff relaxed, legs parted.  \n\u0026nbsp;  \nReaching under the mattress, June pulled out a small dildo. \"I'll need  \nthis...\" she said, turning the power knob to make it vibrate. Sliding  \nit insider her lover, June began to kiss Tiff's clit. Pushing down on  \nthe end, Tiff made sure the vibrator was buzzing her g-spot. \"Just  \nrelax and let it happen. It'll feel like you're gonna pee, just let it  \ngo, okay?\"  \n  \nTiff let it happen, the buzzing inside, June kissing her clitoris  \nwith romantic desire. She could feel it, orgasm approaching. Resisting  \nthe urge to flex muscles, all Tiff did was to rub June's ears for  \nencouragement. \"That's good... June...\" Tiff could feel it, the  \nhard sensation like she had to pee. \"I think it's working!\"   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Good, now cum for me!\" June said, eating away at Tiff's pussy. The  \nblack bat strained, trying not to scream out. She had to. She had to  \nrelax and let it out. Moaning loud, Tiff was ready. Rising up, June  \nrubbed her lover's clit with her fingers. Letting go, Tiff squirted  \na heavy stream of girl cum, like a fire hose, drenching June's breasts.  \n  \n\"Holy shit! TIFF!\" June was impressed. The girl had squirted for at least   \nfive seconds before it ended.   \n  \nEvery joint in Tiff's body was tense, her pussy on fire. \"Pull it out!  \nPlease, pull it out!\"  \n  \nJune yanked the vibrator free. \"Sorry, forgot...\"  \n  \n\"It's okay,\" Tiff replied. \"That was... OH MY GOD, I thought I was going  \nto pass out!\"  \n  \nPulling up a sheet, June bundled up with her. \"We'll take a break.  \nJust lie here and cuddle, sound good?\"  \n  \nTiff nodded, holding June tight.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nIn their bedroom, Teal held onto Slate, grabbing his dick. \"Come on,  \nleave it out. I don't want it to go away...\"  \n  \n\"I can't help it,\" he said, \"when we're done it just goes back in.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She stroked him gently. \"Then I'll just have to make it think it's not  \ndone!\" Teal was a sex addict, no doubt, but unlike the others she hid   \nit well, only letting loose while in bed. The couple had already gone   \nat it but she wanted more. \"Ready for the test tomorrow?\"  \n  \nTheir business class was going well but Slate's mind was on a mid-term  \ntest the next day. \"Yeah. Just...\"   \n  \n\"Distracted?\" Teal giggled. \"Come on, just lay here and get some rest.\"  \n  \n\"Uh, actually...\" he muttered. Teal could feel it, Slate's dick fully  \nstiff again.   \n  \n\"You can make it quick. I know we need sleep.\" Teal grinned as he   \nentered, her arms holding him tight. Kissing him, she said, \"I'll  \nlove you always, Slate. Just do your best.\"  \n  \n\"Uh, which one? The test or-\"  \n  \nShe smiled. \"Both of them, of course!\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty five years, nine months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal flipped through business records. Boring work. They'd just  \nbeen given control over the Adriani Rouge Fruit Company and had to  \nadapt to the daily running of the business.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Her eyes focused on a sub-fund of the company that she'd never heard   \nof. \"slate? Look at this...\"  \n  \nHe looked at the entry. \"City Reclamation Fund...\"  \n  \n\"Dad never mentioned that,\" she said. \"He always donated money out  \nof his own pocket.   \n  \n\"Hmm... what's it do?\"  \n  \nShe explained, \"looks like one percent of all company profits are  \nset aside into a separate bank account, for...\" Teal flipped through  \nmore papers. \"It doesn't say.\"  \n  \n\"It doesn't say? That's unusual,\" Slate noted. \"Seems your father  \nkeeps strict records of everything.\"  \n  \nTeal grabbed the phone, dialing into GUN's private system. The  \nphone rang in the records room. \"Tiff? Teal... listen, I've got  \nsomething I need you to dig into for me...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe twins were growing fast. Their fur was puffed out over their  \nheads, spiking in the back. Rouge was reading to them, more advanced  \nbooks than they grew up on. The twins, much like Teal, would be  \nhome schooled.  \n  \nTeal ran into the living room frantically. \"Dad!\"  \n  \n\"Teal!\" Violette scolded.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"We're learning stuff! Don't bug us!\" Rose added.  \n  \nTom looked her way. \"What is it?\"  \n  \nSlate followed Tiff in, handing him a folder. \"Do you recognize this?\"  \nthe echidna asked.   \n  \nTom was confused. \"What's the City Reclamation Fund?\"  \n  \nTeal looked down. \"We found it today while poking through the  \nfruit company's records...\"  \n  \nRouge was curious. Looking it over, she couldn't believe it. \"We're   \nbeing ripped off!\"  \n  \n\"It sounds like nothing on paper,\" Teal commented. \"But we make an  \naverage of two hundred thousand a year from the fruit company. That's  \ntwo thousand a year.\"  \n  \n\"And it looks like this started ten years ago,\" Tom said. \"That's been  \ntwenty thousand taken from us.\"  \n  \n\"I've started working on tracing the account,\" Tiff explained, \"but  \nit might take a few days.\"  \n  \n\"Good. Let me know the second you find out.\"  \n  \nRouge shook her head. \"We make so much between the casino and the  \nfruit company, we didn't even notice...\" Her fists were clenched.  \n\"Tiff, when you know, tell me. I don't want the police or GUN to  \nhandle this. It's mine!\"  \n  \nTom grabbed her shoulders. \"It's not that bad...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She gritted her teeth. \"I don't care. That's not my money, Tom, it's  \nour money. My family... I haven't been a thief for a long time.   \nWhoever's doing this doesn't get a free ride out of courtesy.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThey had a name.  \n  \nTheodore Loganport.  \n  \nTom had hired him on ten years ago as an accountant. They stood  \noutside his home. \"Living well for his salary,\" Tom commented. He  \nknocked. The door opened.  \n  \n\"Mister Adriani, a surprise...\" Theodore greeted.   \n  \n\"Yes, I'll bet. When I found out about the City Reclamation Fund,  \nI had to- screw it. Rouge!\"  \n  \nTaking her cue, she sent a kick flying, knocking the man to the floor.  \nCrumpled in a heap, Theodore reeled to catch his breath. \"You BASTARD!\"  \nshe shouted loud, sending her foot to the man's face. He was coughing,  \na fact Rouge didn't care to acknowledge. Grabbing him by the hair,  \nshe lifted her prey forcefully. \"YOU STOLE FROM US! I should kill you!\"  \n  \n\"I'll pay you back! Please...\" he begged. Crawling to the safe,   \nTheodore began to turn the dial.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge was impatient. A swift kick knocked the safe door off its hinges,  \nloose cash spilling free. Collecting exactly twenty thousand, Rouge  \nsmiled. \"You get to live, scumbag!\"  \n  \nShe walked out. Tom helped his old employee stand as two GUN agents  \nentered the house. \"He's all yours. Oh, and you're fired!\" Content  \nthat all was well, Thomas followed his wife.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal felt good. she'd managed to help the family business on her first  \nday. Rouge was also proud. \"Too easy,\" she commented. \"He folded like  \na twig.\"  \n  \n\"Literally,\" Tom elaborated. \"Anyway, he's in GUN custody now. Listen,  \nyou two find ANYTHING goofy, you let me know.\"  \n  \n\"Right, daddy!\" Teal said gleefully.  \n  \n\"And Rouge, dear...\"  \n  \n\"Yes?\" she asked.   \n  \nTom said, \"I hope your overwhelming urge to hurt someone has run its  \ncourse...\"  \n  \nShe smiled wickedly. \"Of course. Don't worry, I'll out all that energy  \ninto more... fun activities tonight.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nTwenty five years, eleven months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTails waited. He waited for someone to come.   \n  \nThey did.  \n  \nRouge stepped through the old lab, followed by her husband, Thomas  \nAdriani. They two wondered why they had been requested. Miles Prower,  \nspotting his guests, went to greet them. \"Miles,\" Rouge greeted.  \n\"Where's Robotnik?\"  \n  \n\"Where... good question.\" The fox turned away, leading them into the  \nmain lab. \"He's not here anymore and he's not coming back.\"  \n  \n\"Oh?\" Rouge was curious. \"When did it happen?\"  \n  \n\"This morning,\" Tails answered. \"Heart failure due to old age. I'd have  \ncalled the others, but they wouldn't have come.\" He waved a hand,  \ndrawing attention to the machinery. \"His family line is dead. All that  \nthe man ever was is in these machines.\"  \n  \nRouge let her head hang. \"He did a lot to make up for what he was.\"  \n  \n\"He did good things in the end. Like the work on artificial organs  \nfor replacement. Dealing with the problems of powering devices...\"  \nTails showed them the compact battery. \"Small and efficient. The casing   \nis sturdy and won't leak. Power lasts for fifty years. Beats the old   \nlow-life batteries.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"How'd you make it last that long?\" Tom asked. \"Nuclear?\"  \n  \n\"No, hardly,\" Tails said, \"no one would want to walk around with  \na nuclear battery in them. Too much risk with the casing anyway.  \nNo, they're false Chaos Emerald designs. Small gems which hold just  \nenough power to last that long at the rate of consumption. But...\"  \nHe picked up a device. \"He died before practical tests. This is  \nan artificial lung.\" The contraption was made of metal and high-grade  \npolymers. \"Weighs as much as the real thing, fully powered. A person  \ncan keep breathing even if they're unconscious.\"  \n  \n\"But wouldn't they drown if they went swimming?\" Rouge asked.   \n  \n\"No. It's hooked into the nervous system. You can hold your breath if  \nyou want. Works like a real lung but has backup routines. Only problem  \nis, to make them work, they cost a fortune. We can't use them yet.\"  \n  \nTom hesitated to ask. \"How much is a fortune?\"  \n  \n\"A million each. We're talking VERY fine components. These have to  \nhook into the nervous, respiratory and circulatory systems, these  \nhave to work in very nasty conditions within the body. It'd be cheaper   \nto harvest clone organs for transplant. Not that the whiners will let   \nthat that kind of research happen. Worst part, we've only had one  \nsuccessful implant, a test. It works but the medical companies won't  \nfund mass-production for another TEN YEARS! They want to watch and make  \nsure it works...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tom asked, \"How much-\"  \n  \n\"Billions, if you need to know. Billions to fund even low-level mass-  \nproduction. The key components and materials cost too much unless bought  \nin bulk. We'd have to make fifty lungs a month to even reduce the cost  \nby ten percent. That's just lungs.\" Tails held up a smaller chunk.   \n\"Heart.\" Another piece. \"Liver. These are just human-scale. Other  \nspecies can be done but require different design specifications.  \nWell... not your concern. I'm stuck with the business of it.\"  \n  \n\"You're in charge now?\" Rouge asked.   \n  \n\"He left the business to me in his will. I'm the only one had to leave  \nmuch anything to. Sonic and the others, they tried to be nice to him,  \nbut they never visited, never... they put on a face around him but  \nI think Sonic still hated him.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"TIFF!\"  \n  \nTeal was frustrated. The bat was laying on her bed, crying, and wouldn't  \ntell anyone why. \"Tiff, what's going on?\"  \n  \nShe wouldn't answer. June sat down beside her. \"Come on, what's wrong?\"  \n  \nStill no answer.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Tiff, come on! You're making the twins upset!\" Teal was growing  \nimpatient. \"What was she doing?\"  \n  \nJune said, \"she was talking to her dad on the phone. When I came back  \nto the room she was like this.\"  \n  \n\"Okay...\" Teal picked up the phone. \"Redial then?\"  \n  \nSpringing forth, Tiff grabbed the receiver. \"Please...\"  \n  \n\"Your dad's in trouble.\" Teal had her answer. \"What's wrong?\"  \n  \nTiff continued to weep. \"You don't need to worry about it.\"  \n  \n\"Slate?\" Teal looked at her husband. \"Slate, go get me the duct tape.  \nIf she won't talk then-\"  \n  \n\"My daddy's dying!\" Tiff was ready to break down. \"His lung is infected.  \nHe's coughing up blood and his lung is filling with liquid! if he  \ncan't get a new one he's DEAD! they can't even find one for him...\"  \nShe slumped to the floor. \"They just won't. Because he's old... they  \nwon't save my daddy!\"  \n  \n\"That's not true,\" June said, trying to comfort her.   \n  \nTeal pulled June away, leaning in. \"It might be. They'd want to give  \norgans to younger people first. But...\" She looked down. \"Don't tell   \nher.\" She helped Tiff to her feet. \"You go see your dad while you can.  \nI'll talk with my parents and see if-\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Please, Teal, don't...\"  \n  \nGritting her teeth, Teal was furious. \"Why not? What's this deal you  \nhave with not letting people help you when money's involved? You  \nwon't ask anyone when you need it, you keep slipping money into  \nmom's purse when you think no one's looking, for rent money, when you  \nstay here for free!\"  \n  \n\"Teal... I can't. I promised my daddy I wouldn't leech off people.\"  \nTiff hung her head, tears running into her fur dye and smearing  \nthe pink down her cheeks. \"If I asked them for money, he wouldn't like   \nit. He'd rather die than ask someone to give him money for free...\"  \n  \n\"June... help her pack.\" Grabbing Slate's hand, Teal left the room.  \n  \n\"You're asking them anyway, right?\" he asked, knowing his wife rather  \nwell.   \n  \n\"Wouldn't you? Tiff's out of mer mind right now with this but DAMMIT,  \nI'm not letting someone die just because she won't ask for money! Old  \nguy's probably sitting there on basic life insurance that wouldn't  \npay for it anyway. I'll call GUN, too. If there's a lung out there,  \nwe'll find one.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n\"You've got to be KIDDING ME!\"  \n  \nAngry, Teal slammed the phone down. \"What's wrong?\" Slate asked.  \n  \nShe explained, \"GUN had a decent bat lung in their medical facility,   \nbut they USED it yesterday! An agent got shot and needed it.\" She  \nsighed. \"Problem is, bat lungs are special. Can't take one from  \nanother species. Close as bats are to humans, the lungs are too  \ndifferent. Now me, I'm both. I could use a human lung if I needed  \na transplant, but not a regular bat...\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"My god...\" Rouge didn't know what to think. \"She's already left?\"  \n  \n\"Half an hour ago. June went with her,\" Teal answered.  \n  \nTom said, \"I don't care about the money. But they really can't find   \none? Rouge?\"  \n  \nShe smiled. \"Right... if it'll work...\"  \n  \n\"If WHAT will work?\" Teal inquired.  \n  \n\"Get your husband,\" Rouge said, \"and come with us.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTails ran the data through. \"Bat lung... yes, we DID get the proper   \nrecords to make one. But...\"  \n  \n\"But WHAT?\" Rouge was beyond patience.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"BUT... we haven't built one yet. I can make one... but it'll take  \ntime. Twelve hours!\" he shouted, knowing that he would be asked the  \ntime. \"thankfully, being smaller, the cost will be a bit less, and  \nfaster to make. I have the materials...\"  \n  \n\"I'll write a check,\" Tom said.  \n  \n\"Good. This won't be free. Nine hundred thousand. I have to reconfigure  \nthe machines to build by specs and then let them do the rest.  \nBut...\"  \n  \n\"Here comes the catch,\" Teal mouthed.  \n  \n\"The catch,\" Miles commented, \"is that I can't guarantee this will work.  \nI can't even give you the odds. It has to work with his body. It has  \nto work. Go on. I'm starting work, but if you can find him a lung before  \nI'm done then do it. Better chances he'll live that way.\"  \n  \nHe jumped in surprise as Tom slapped a check beside him.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"What do you mean you won't do it?\" Rouge was angry, facing down the  \ndoctor with an evil intent.   \n  \n\"Using a robotic organ made in a factory. By ROBOTNIK'S factory!  \nThis is insane! I don't trust such a machine!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Kicking him back, Rouge grabbed his shirt. \"Look, buddy, I don't care  \nwhat you think! I'm not giving you a choice! Or maybe you'd like  \na chance to get a new boyfriend in PRISON when I get GUN involved?\"  \n  \nThe surgeon straightened his coat. \"Fine. Guess he'll die either way.  \nMight as well take a chance...\"  \n  \nSatisfied, Rouge entered the waiting room. Tom sat with the twins  \nas June tried to comfort Tiff. \"He's in pain...\" Tiff was shaking.  \n\"He has a tube in his chest and he's...\"  \n  \nRouge knew the girl's pain. This was too familiar to her. It's why she  \nhad no choice but to help, to do everything possible.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTails worked, checking every part, checking every action done by the  \nrobots in his lab. The calculations had to be perfect. No room for  \nerror as they slowly assembled the components of the artificial lung.  \nEvery individual air filter, every individual chamber, the connection  \ntubes for blood vessels and the wind pipe.  \n  \nHis assistant was a lot of help to him. Already, Miles Prower was   \nexhausted, fueled by coffee and willpower. Not by greed. Even with  \npayment his lab would still lose money producing this. Components  \nweren't cheap.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;His assistant placed a hand on his shoulder. \"Should be a few more   \nhours. Just have to keep watch on all the machines to make sure  \nthere aren't any mistakes.\"  \n  \nShe said, \"go get some rest. I'll wake you in an hour. Don't worry,   \nI can keep watch. I'll wake you if anything goes wrong.\"  \n  \nMiles looked up. His assistant was a human woman, tall, roughly his  \nage. \"Thanks. Just keep things in order.\" He found an empty  \ncouch in the lobby, his bed for a brief bit.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThey rushed to the hospital. The build time was long, the flight long,  \nbut it was done. Tails held the case tight, the lung suspended in  \nsterile fluid. A half hour of final cleaning had slowed them down,  \nbathing the device in chemicals to kill any foreign bacteria or  \nparticles, but they were here.   \n  \nInto the waiting room. Tails found them. \"I have it!\"  \n  \n\"Great, but...\" Rouge wasn't sure what to say. \"... we have a donor  \nlung for Tiff's father. They tried to get in touch but you had left  \nthe lab.\"  \n  \n\"Well...\" He felt defeated. Hours of work and it wasn't needed. \"Wait,  \nis he still in surgery?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"He is,\" Rouge said.  \n  \nWasting no time, Tails ran off, past the doctors. Rouge ran after him.  \n\"WAIT! What are you doing?\"  \n  \n\"He's only got one lung, right?\"  \n  \n\"Yes, but-\"  \n  \nTails explained, \"they can implant BOTH!\"  \n  \nShe knew where the surgical room was. Leading him to it, they found  \nthe doctors. \"You're a little late,\" the head surgeon said. \"We don't  \nneed your machine anymore.\"  \n  \n\"Put it in anyway. He has room for another lung.\" Rouge gave the  \ndoctor a harsh stare. Choosing against argument, the medical team  \ntook the container.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff was asleep. Her father was out of surgery. They were waiting  \nfor him to wake up. The artificial lung was operating normally, though  \ntime would tell if it was processing oxygen properly and working with  \nthe blood vessels.  \n  \nRouge placed a small blanket over the twins, who were also napping.  \nTeal and Slate had gone home while the rest remained. Content that the  \nsurgery had been a success, Tails had also returned home.  \n  \nRouge saw it. An older woman, a bat with black fur in a gaudy business  \nsuit. She could see the faint surgical scars, no doubt from cosmetic  \nsurgeries. Standing, she greeted the woman. \"You must be Tiff's mother.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hartly Nightwing,\" the woman shot back. \"I disowned that little brat. And   \nmy ex-husband is here? I'd be too unlucky for him to just DIE. Bad enough  \nhe sucks up alimony money, that little queer girl taking money from   \nME to live with him!\"  \n  \n\"Lady, I really don't care for your tone...\" Rouge had some height  \non her, a good deal of muscle mass and possibly an age advantage.  \n  \n\"Rouge the Bat! Yeah, I recognize you now...\"  \n  \nShe corrected bluntly, \"my name is Rouge ADRIANI!\" They were slowly  \nattracting the attention of everyone around them.   \n  \nTiff stirred awake. \"Mom?\"  \n  \n\"Don't call me that!\" The old bat was angry. \"Bad enough that loser's  \nnot dead yet. Oh well, at least with you out of his house I can  \nstop sending those checks.\"  \n  \nJune stood, confronting her. \"That's my wife you're taking about, you  \nold cow!\"  \n  \n\"WIFE? Good lord, you two are married?\"  \n  \nRouge gave her a sharp stare. \"That's my sister!\"  \n  \nThe bat began to laugh. \"Oh, dear, that's funny! Rouge the Bat has a   \nfaggot sister! Married to my worthless faggot daughter!\"  \n  \nFurious beyond normal capacity, Rouge grabbed her collar. \"I'd ask  \nyou to apologize, but I doubt a stupid CUNT like you would know how!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The black bat turned away, taking a few steps. Quickly, she spun on  \nher heels, fist flying. Rouge was quick. Her hand snapped, grabbing   \nthe old bat woman's arm. \"Too slow!\" Spinning around, Rouge tossed the  \nwoman into the reception desk. Waiting for her target to stand,  \nshe rushed forth, a swift kick to her stomach. \"Lady, I used to be in  \nGUN. I've given birth to three children. You think you can fight ME?\"  \n  \nBlood was pouring from the bat woman's mouth. \"We'll see,\" she muttered,  \nkicking forward. It was pointless. Rouge grabbed her ankle. \"be  \nthankful you're in a hospital!\" A quick twist of her arm, Rouge  \ncould hear the woman's ankle snap. She smiled, content with her  \nvictory.  \n  \nTiff approached. She saw her own mother on the floor. Her foot slammed  \ndown onto the broken ankle, Tiff's mother screaming loud. \"I hate  \nyou! Daddy almost died and you don't care! I want you to DIE!\" Punching  \nthe woman, Tiff let her rage go.   \n  \n\"That's enough!\" Rouge shouted, pulling her back.  \n  \nThey watched security rush them. Rouge's arms were held down. She tried  \nto fight but they were on her and Tiff.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"STOP THAT!\"  \n  \nThe security team halted. They were faced down by the Commander of GUN.  \n\"I'd release both of them if I were you...\" The guards complied. \"Good.  \nNow, get that scumbag, bigot of a woman to a room for treatment.\"  \nThey began helping Tiff's mother up. \"Wait... who ordered this?\"  \n  \n\"I did,\" one of them stated. \"I'm in charge of security here.\"  \n  \nStepping forward, the Commander slugged him. \"You NEVER interfere with  \nan agent of GUN in their duties! Now... I take it the surgery went   \nwell?\"  \n  \n\"It did,\" Rouge responded. \"We're just waiting for him to recover.\"  \n  \n\"Very good. I shall return now. Please keep me posted.\"  \n  \nRouge said, \"I will, sir.\"  \n  \n\"Sir? Thanks for finding my daddy a new lung...\" Tiff said.  \n  \nThey watched the Commander leave. Tom ran forward. \"Everything okay?\"  \n  \nRouge looked at the guards. \"Is now...\" They seemed almost sorry for  \ntrying to arrest her, though it was likely due to GUN involvement rather  \nthan genuine remorse.  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty six years, two months have passed  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe office chair was perfect. Tom felt good sitting in the plush  \nseat, his naked butt resting as his wife straddled. Rouge's skirt  \nand panties littered the floor, her body slowly bouncing. Her wings  \nstretched, folding back as Tom pinched her nipples. \"We really should  \nbe working...\"  \n  \n\"Work can wait,\" she said, hands rubbing his chest. \"I want to have  \nsome fun while we're away from home.\" She could feel her wet pussy   \ndripping all over him. \"But I guess we should get home soon...\" Rocking  \nquicker now, Rouge slid up and down, her cunt squeezing down on  \nher husband's dick.  \n  \n\"Guess work's all done anyway,\" he said. \"Nothing's out of order...\"  \n  \n\"I just wanted an excuse, Tom.\" Thrusting her hips, Rouge ground her   \nclit against him. \"an excuse to do it in this room.\" She smiled.   \n\"Some risk in public... I didn't even lock the office door!\"  \n  \nHis eyes sprang wide. \"You did WHAT?\" He tried to stand but she had him  \npinned down.   \n  \n\"Uh-uh... afraid?\" The bat was feeling powerful, in charge. \"Afraid   \nsomeone might see us?\" She began to bounce faster. \"Then let them see.\"  \nThere was little chance anyone would disturb them. It was already  \ncommon throughout the casino staff that when Tom and Rouge went into  \nthe office to work, they would often end up having sex. However, it  \nwould only take one new employee, or someone who forgot, and they  \nwould have an audience.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Pulling his top off, she stuffed it in her mouth to muffle the moans  \nand screams. Rouge could feel her lover rocking his hips, thrusting in  \nwhat limited room he had. Tom's hand shot down between them, working  \nher clitoris vigorously. He could feel it, strong, like a buzz. He  \nwas ready to orgasm.  \n  \nTilting her head back, Rouge felt it, going off inside her. Her screams  \nwere muffled but Tom could hear them. Wet juice leaked down from her,  \nclimaxing hard. Tom yelped. \"ROUGE! You REALLY need to cool it on  \nthose vaginal exercises!\"   \n  \nShe spat out the tie. \"Not a chance! I'm forty-four and I have the body  \nof a woman half my age! Anyway...\" Rising off the chair, she collected   \nher panties and skirt, pulling them up. Thomas stood, yanking his pants   \nup and zipping them. He didn't want to waste time with the tie, simply  \nstuffing it in his pocket.  \n  \nThe door flung open. \"OH! I didn't know you were in here!\" It was Cream,  \none of her employees.   \n  \n\"It's okay,\" Rouge said, \"we're actually done here.\"  \n  \n\"I just need to get a few files.\" Cream opened the cabinet, gathering  \nwhat she needed. \"Uh... rumor is you two sometimes have sex in here.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh, please!\" Rouge laughed it off. \"If we were having sex, the door  \nwould be locked!\"  \n  \nCream smiled. \"Of course. Dumb question. Anyway, back to work!\"  \n  \nThey watched the rabbit leave. \"Close one,\" Tom remarked.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe twins flew, latching onto their parents. \"You missed us?\" Rouge  \nasked.  \n  \n\"We did, mommy!\" Rose said.  \n  \n\"Happy birthday, mommy!\" Violette said.  \n  \nRouge was flattered. \"Thank you, sweetie, but my birthday is next week.\"  \nShe looked around. June and Tiff were in the living room, cleaning  \nup an assortment of crayons and coloring books. \"Where's Teal?\"  \n  \n\"I have no idea,\" Tiff answered. \"They were only going into the office  \nin town.\"  \n  \n\"Should've been back an hour ago...\" June muttered. \"Left us here  \nto watch the twins.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nSlate jumped. He felt his tail being fondled. \"Teal? Come on, we have   \nwork to do.\"  \n  \n\"Come on... just a few minutes?\" Taking her husband's hand, Teal led   \nhim into the back room, clicking the door lock. Kissing along his  \nmuzzle, she groaned. \"Take me, bad boy!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Teal, we have to- hey, wait!\" Slate felt her hand rubbing his crotch,  \nhis penis extending outward. \"AH! I can't go back out there like this!\"  \n  \n\"I'll take care of it, don't worry,\" Teal said, dropping her jeans.  \nHand against the wall, she bent over seductively, legs spread to  \nreveal her tight pussy. \"It's okay... or do you want me to blow  \nyou instead?\"  \n  \nSlate wasn't in the mood for this but he didn't want to let her down.  \nQuickly, the echidna eased into her. \"OH, YES! Slate... give it to me!  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nSlate was upset. His wife had practically forced him to have sex with  \nher. Walking through the mansion, he saw Rouge in the study, sitting  \nquietly. \"Rouge?\"  \n  \n\"Yes, Slate?\" She opened her eyes.  \n  \n\"Uh... never mind.\" Turning, he began to walk away.  \n  \nShe was curious. \"What is it?\"  \n  \nHe paused. \"Uh... this might sound weird but...\" He couldn't say it.  \n  \nStanding from her seat, Rouge crossed her arms. \"Spit it out!\"  \n  \n\"Teal wants too much sex!\"  \n  \nShe was surprised, stunned, and baffled. \"Wow. Okay... let me guess,  \nyou two were late getting home because you were getting kinky in  \nthe office?\" She could see the look on his face. \"Oh, please,\" she  \nmuttered, \"you think Tom and I go to the casino purely for work?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Slate wasn't sure how to say it, but he said, \"we're not into heavy  \nsex. Echidnas, I mean.\"  \n  \n\"Hmph.\" The bat didn't know what to make of it. \"Your father was a  \nlonely bigot who wasn't into sex. Wow, we really weren't compatible!\"  \n  \n\"Uh... huh...\" Rubbing his head, Slate explained, \"it's not that we  \ndon't engage in it for pleasure, we're just not... well, Teal was  \nso quiet when we met but after the wedding... she practically made  \nme have sex with her today! I like it quiet and intimate but she just  \nwouldn't let up!\"  \n  \n\"I see...\" Rouge grabbed him by the arm. \"She's becoming a sex addict.  \nI'll take care of this!\" Running into the living room, they found  \nTom. \"Tom, follow me. Our daughter is making a BIG mistake!\"  \n  \n\"Rose isn't trying to cook again, is she?\" Tom sighed, remembering  \nthe state the kitchen was in when his little girl tried to cook  \nspaghetti.  \n  \n\"No, Tom,\" Rouge shouted out, \"TEAL! Come on!\"  \n  \nThe three ran to Teal's bedroom, where she lie on the bed, resting.  \n\"Hey, what's up?\" she asked, noticing everyone's presence.  \n  \nRouge gave a stern look. \"Teal, your husband has something to tell  \nyou!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"ME?\" Slate looked back, nervous, but Rouge wasn't going to let him off.  \nHe had to do this one. \"Teal... I love you. It's why I married you, but  \nlately... you've been taking advantage of me!\"  \n  \n\"Really? How so?\" she asked.  \n  \nHe explained, \"today... I didn't want to have sex in the office but  \nyou basically made me.\"  \n  \nTeal was upset, giving them all a nasty look. \"Then why'd you fuck me?\"  \n  \n\"I didn't want to let you down...\"  \n  \nLeaning down, Tom whispered, \"what's going on?\"  \n  \nRouge replied, \"just listen.\" Walking towards her daughter, she said,  \n\"Teal, sex should be special. I know your father and I still make love  \na lot but we both want to. I remember when we became sex addicts.  \nIt was before you were born. we had to stop. It would have destroyed  \nour marriage!\"  \n  \nLaughing, Teal just shook her head. \"I'm not a sex addict, mom! But if  \npansy-boy's gonna whine, maybe I'll go get it somewhere else! I bet  \nhis older brother would love some of me!\"  \n  \nRouge smacked her daughter. \"TEAL!\"  \n  \nGrabbing her face, she rubbed. Her mother had only given her a light  \nslap, gentle, enough to echo in the room but leaving no pain. \"Mom.   \nI...\" She was hurt worse by her own words than what her mother had done.  \n\"Slate! Oh, no... I wouldn't cheat on you... I can't believe I said   \nthat!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"This is why we had to take control,\" Tom commented. \"If we'd kept it  \nup back then, well...\"  \n  \n\"What your father is saying, we wanted it all the time. And if one of  \nus had been unable to do it, well... I don't want to think about that.\"  \n  \nTom added, \"you also wouldn't be here. You were conceived on the day  \nwe chose to make it right!\"  \n  \nSlate took her hand. \"It's okay, Teal. Just... please, I want sex to  \nbe special between us!\"  \n  \n\"Wait...\" Tom had an idea. \"Funny thought.\"  \n  \nRouge was interested. \"What is it?\"  \n  \n\"I've noticed Teal's behavior a bit different since she got married.\"  \n  \n\"Well, YEAH. I did get married, dad!\" Teal muttered.  \n  \n\"I KNOW that...\" he said. \"But something else changed.\"  \n  \nHer eyes went wide. \"I started birth control pills!\" Teal stared at the  \nsmall box beside the bed. \"You told me I should and I got the  \nprescription a few days before!\"  \n  \nRouge picked up the box of pills. \"But these are the same as I take.  \nSame ones I took after Teal was born. They certainly don't increase  \nMY sex drive!\"  \n  \n\"Like you need it increased,\" Tom teased playfully. \"But our daughter  \nis a hybrid species! Bet you those pills work a bit different on her!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Picking up the box, she wanted to throw it away, but didn't. \"Good  \nidea, daddy, but maybe I should go see a doctor about this to  \nmake sure.\"  \n  \nRouge took the box and set it down. \"Very good idea.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff fluttered through the house. Rouge noticed her flighty attitude,  \nnot to mention her flight. \"Someone's happy!\"  \n  \n\"Daddy's doing fine! His lungs are holding up! He can go outside  \nnow, no more oxygen tank!\" Tiff hugged Tom, surprising him. \"Thanks  \nfor saving my daddy. He's gonna get a job and work to pay you back.\"  \n  \n\"He doesn't have to do that. The lung was a gift.\" Tom pried her off.  \n  \nTiff said, \"but my dad insists. That's a lot of money you spent on  \nhim!\"  \n  \n\"Tiff?\" Rouge took her hand. \"Do you know how long it would take to  \npay back nine hundred thousand?\"  \n  \n\"Tiff, just tell your father to send me ten a month and I'll call it   \neven,\" Tom offered. \"I know he wants to pay something. He'll send  \nme what he can without straining himself. Sound good?\"  \n  \nThe black bat smiled. \"I'll tell him.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Now, then,\" Rouge said, \"Tom and I are going to keep the twins occupied  \nuntil bedtime. Why don't you go find June and go out tonight   \nsomewhere. Go have some fun.\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty six years, three months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nRouge sprang forth, arms wrapping tight around Tom. The bat was latched  \non tight from behind. \"Come on, ten more minutes?\"  \n  \n\"The twins are probably awake,\" he scolded, \"and besides, I have to  \nget those wine bottles to the auction hall in two hours.\"  \n  \n\"I forgot about that... but come on, five minutes?\"   \n  \nRouge knew it was important. Auctioning that wine would be placed  \ntowards the money that would be gifted to June. Twenty million for  \na scientific procedure to let the two lesbian women conceive a child.  \n  \nTom squeezed her hands. \"Okay. One quick orgasm but then we have to get  \nout of bed!\" She felt giddy. resting her butt on the bed, her robe   \nflipped open. \"No, not that. Headboard!\" he shouted, ordering his wife  \nto sit against the wall.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She spread her legs. \"Tongue?\"  \n  \nHe began kissing around her thighs, letting the spit drip down his  \ntongue and onto her pussy. Thomas didn't want to spend a lot of time  \non this, so he would rush things. Exposing Rouge's clit, his tongue  \nworked it vigorously, fingers curling inside her vagina to place  \npressure on the g-spot.  \n  \n\"That feels SO good...\" she commented, eyes rolling back as Tom kissed  \nher pussy.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \n\"Three bottles... all sold.\" Tom was somewhat happy.  \n  \nRouge counted the money. \"Two million. Not bad... and they paid up   \nfront! I thought we would have to wait for the checks to clear.\"  \n  \n\"Nah, people this rich, they carry cash.\" He watched the last bottle  \ncarried away by its new owner.   \n  \n\"I'm glad you finally decided to revive your father's business,\"  \nthe gentleman said.  \n  \n\"Hardly,\" Tom replied. \"Take that crap and get out of here. I have your  \nmoney.\"  \n  \n\"You little...\" The older man was one of the old family friends.  \n  \nTom waved him off. \"Go die of cirrhosis. Dad's dead and so is his   \nlegacy.\" He led his wife out of the auction hall. \"Come on, we have  \nto go get the money ready for your sister.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff held the paper. It was like holding a cloud. \"I... I've never had  \nso much money....\" The note stated the total amount transferred into  \nher bank account.   \n  \n\"We have to call the clinic and get everything set up!\" June said.  \n  \n\"Who's going to carry the child?\" Rouge asked, wondering which of them  \nwould bear the burden.  \n  \nJune smiled. \"Like my big sister.\"  \n  \nTiff grinned. \"Yeah.... uh... I'm gonna be a daddy! Weird...\"  \n  \n\"Uh... guys?\" June explained, \"I'll be ovulating next week. Maybe we  \nshould get this ready NOW?\"  \n  \nRouge picked up the phone. \"Here. Call them.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe girls were dressed. Teal and Slate set out activity books for the  \ntwins. \"Good thing they were able to get you in today,\" Teal  \nremarked.  \n  \n\"Twenty million makes things happen,\" Rouge commented, hugging the   \ntwins. \"You two be good, okay? Mommy will be back soon.\"  \n  \n\"We will,\" Violette said.  \n  \nTiff clutched her purse. \"Okay... guess we should get going.\"  \n  \n\"What's making you freak out?\" June could see it in her lover's  \neyes.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Tiff closed her eyes, teeth gritting. \"I hate needles... and they have  \nto poke me to get blood for this!\"  \n  \n\"Please,\" June said, \"they have to poke ME to get one of my eggs! That's  \na needle in my stomach!\"  \n  \n\"And you'll live,\" Rouge said, pushing the two girls along. \"I had it  \ndone once, it's not a big deal!\"  \n  \n\"YOU had it done?\" June was a bit surprised. \"But I thought Teal was-\"  \n  \n\"She was,\" Rouge said, cutting her off. \"It was before Teal was born.  \nI had a viability test done. Now, are we going to go or stand here  \nall day?\"  \n  \nTeal watched them leave. \"Okay... guess I need to fix you your lunch  \nnow... Slate, keep them occupied while I get the chicken nuggets in the  \noven.\"  \n  \nThe twins fixed their attention on the echidna. \"Teal's cooking us  \nfood?\" Rose asked.  \n  \n\"She is,\" he said.  \n  \nThey still looked at him. \"You're not like mommy or Teal,\" Violette  \nspoke.  \n  \n\"Or daddy,\" Rose added.  \n  \nHe said, \"that's because I'm an echidna.\"  \n  \n\"Eekidda?\" Rose couldn't say the word.  \n  \nSlate wasn't sure what to say. \"Um...\"  \n  \n\"It means,\" Teal said, \"that he's different from you. That's all.  \nLunch in twenty minutes! Go work on your coloring, show mom what you   \nget done while she's gone.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Okay,\" Rose said, grabbing a box of crayons.  \n  \nSlate cleared his throat. \"What are they going to be doing today?\"  \n  \n\"Not real sure,\" Teal answered, \"but I think today, Tiff gives a blood  \nsample they can take DNA from and June donates her eggs. I just hope  \nit works...\"  \n  \nHe wasn't sure of the procedure. \"Taking a woman's DNA and using it to  \nmake a sperm with...\"  \n  \n\"Yeah, well, not like they can just have kids.\"  \n  \nSlate asked, \"have you been thinking about it? Kids... you and me...\"  \n  \nShe formed a slight smile. \"Maybe... being off birth control, it's  \nsomething to think about....\"  \n  \n\"If we can,\" he lamented.  \n  \nShe took his hand. \"We didn't fall in love because we thought about  \nkids, Slate... but it might happen eventually. It was a big deal for  \nmom... and maybe I will want to be a mother soon. Look at it this  \nway, we helped mom with the twins, we'll help June and Tiff. At least  \nwe know what to expect.\" Wrapping an arm around her husband, she  \ncontinued, \"we did what our parents didn't do. Mom had a crush on   \nyour father back then, much as she won't admit it. But they didn't get  \ntogether. We did. Maybe I should be thankful mom found dad instead.  \nI wouldn't be here if she hadn't...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Oh...\" Slate sighed. \"Dad would have never been with her. I know he  \nwasn't too fond of her. Or himself... well, honestly, I think it would  \nhave been very bad if my father had ended up with Rouge.\"  \n  \n\"Why?\"  \n  \n\"Dad was... he needed to be with his own kind. The way he talks about  \nher, I'm afraid if he'd ever hooked up with your mother, he might have  \nbeaten her.\"  \n  \n\"WHAT?\" Teal couldn't believe it. \"That's insane!\"  \n  \n\"He had a lot of issues before he found our island, Teal! My mother  \nhelped him adjust, but... Teal, my father still has a temper sometimes.  \nHe's never shown it in front of us but I know he likes to go into  \nthe mountains and let off steam. I think he had some problems with  \nour wedding. Teal... I don't trust my own father. Especially not  \naround your mother.\"  \n  \nShe huffed. \"You're seeing things. They get along... anyway, not like   \nyour dad HAS much contact with mom... hey! You said echidnas aren't  \nas into sex as some... how often DO your parents have sex?\"  \n  \n\"Teal! That's gross!\"  \n  \n\"Oh, come on, don't be a baby!\"  \n  \nHe thought. \"About... once a week.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Teal squeezed his hand again. \"Your dad needs to unwind. Watch the   \ntwins...\"  \n  \n\"Uh... what for?\" he asked.   \n  \nShe explained, \"I'm going to call your mother. Tell her maybe she  \nneeds to help him unwind in a more constructive way!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nJune signed the forms. Bank forms to transfer payment. Tom had read  \nit over carefully, ensuring that the refund policies held in the event  \nthe procedure didn't work.  \n  \nTiff rubbed her arm. \"Uh... guess we have to go back now for this?\"  \n  \n\"Cool off, huh?\" June scolded. \"I have to go get my ovaries poked.  \nYou can take a needle in the arm!\"  \n  \n\"Yes, Tiff,\" Rouge said. \"June has to carry the child. You can take a  \nlittle pain for her, can't you?\"  \n  \n\"I guess... okay, let's get this over with!\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTeal smiled. \"You got it ALL wrong!\"  \n  \n\"How?\" Slate asked.  \n  \nShe sat beside him. \"Your mom said that Knuckles doesn't hate my mom.  \nHe actually respects her a lot now. Just... the past is the past.  \nHe doesn't let that come up anymore. Oh, don't think too much about it,  \nshe DID say your dad's not really ATTRACTED to my mom, but he doesn't  \nhate her. Might've, once, but not now.\" Hugging him, she continued,  \n\"as for his anger... he's only going into the mountains to exercise.  \nFor the room and the fresh air. That's all!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Guess I had my father figured out wrong...\"  \n  \n\"He grew up alone and on an island,\" Teal remarked, \"not on some   \nisland with a city. He grew up rough. Different. Although...\"  \n  \n\"Although WHAT?\" he asked, wondering what she had to say.  \n  \nTeal said, \"... your mom DID say she'd try to bed your dad more often.  \nTHAT she agreed with me, he could use it more often. Now... Rose!  \nViolette!\"  \n  \nThe twins heard her, running quickly. \"Chicken nuggets!\" Rose shouted.  \n  \nTaking their hands, she led her sisters to the table. \"Wait here  \nand I'll get your plates!\"  \n  \nSlate followed her into the kitchen. Scooping the cooked chunks onto  \nplates for her sister, they carried the food out to the girls.  \n  \n\"Guess I'm just a bit...\"  \n  \n\"A bit what?\" Teal asked.  \n  \nHe said, \"Striker was always the tough guy that followed after my   \nfather. I never got into it like he did. Maybe I just see things  \nthat aren't there...\"  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty six years, four months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nJune tugged her shirt down, stomach puffed out despite her best efforts  \nto keep it covered. She was doing well, her pregnancy moving normally.  \nThe twins awaited their snacks, which she gathered quickly. Teal and  \nSlate were at work, Tiff was at work and Rouge and Tom were ready to   \nleave.  \n  \n\"We're going,\" Rouge said, peering into the kitchen.  \n  \n\"Okay, sis. They'll be fine with me.\"  \n  \n\"But will you be fine?\" Rouge asked.   \n  \n\"yeah, yeah... look, I'll call someone IF something happens. IF. Now,  \nwill you get going? I'm pregnant, I think I can deal with being alone  \nfor a couple hours!\"  \n  \nHugging her younger sister, Rouge left the mansion, Tom staring the  \ncar. She was worried. Worried constantly for her sister, worried why  \nshe'd been requested by someone she barely knew.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe entered the building. Sonic and Amy were sitting, waiting. Tails  \nwas flipping through magazines. \"Rouge!\" He stood. \"I ran a check on  \nthe artificial lung yesterday.\"  \n  \n\"Yes, I know...\" Rouge had heard about it. \"Tiff wouldn't shut up  \nabout it, how her father's doing so well.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Yeah. He's lucky. Anyway... about your sister's pregnancy. If you  \ndon't mind, I'd like to also run my own independent tests.\"  \n  \nShe was stunned. \"Miles, my sister's pregnancy doesn't-\"  \n  \n\"Listen to me!\" he shouted. \"The science behind what they did is solid.  \nBut it's not a procedure done very often because it costs so much.  \nAnd same-gendered parents? Never done before! All I'm saying... I want  \nto double check all test results. If something DOES go wrong and they  \ndon't even know what they're looking for...\"  \n  \nShe nodded. \"I'll tell June. But this is going to make her worried...\"  \n  \nThey went silent as Knuckles entered the waiting room. Karen was with  \nhim, their little daughter following close behind. \"What's the  \ndeal here?\" he asked.  \n  \n\"No clue,\" Sonic said. \"We were told to come here.\"  \n  \nRouge was still fuzzy on the matter. \"Clara... that old cat... what does  \nshe want with us?\"  \n  \n\"She asked for me, too,\" Tom said. \"By name...\"  \n  \nThe door opened. The wheelchair pushed out, an old, graying cat in   \nglasses looking at them. Shadow pushed the wheelchair. \"Shadow...\"  \nthe bat greeted.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Everyone...\" Clara was old, her voice straining to even talk. \"Please,  \nfollow us. I will explain why I called you here...\"  \n  \nTheir desire to find out strong, the group followed as Shadow pushed  \nthe old cat into the lab. The room was lined with papers and   \nchalkboards. Tails took immediate notice of the contents. \"You can't  \nbe serious...\"  \n  \n\"Then you recognize what this means?\" Clara asked.  \n  \nTails knew enough. \"These equations... they're all technically correct.  \nBut... no.\"  \n  \nSonic asked, \"Tails?\"  \n  \n\"These...\" Miles closed his eyes. \"This is beyond me. Beyond anyone  \nI know of in the field of science. I feel like I'll get a headache if  \nI look at this too long. I'm not sure I can even understand some of   \nthis! Clara... who did this?\"  \n  \nSilent, she pressed a buzzer. The side door opened as a large figure  \nentered. Tails was in absolute disbelief. \"HIM? He's.... he's an  \nIDIOT!\"  \n  \nBig the Cat smiled. \"Perhaps.\"  \n  \n\"Yeah, I remember him,\" Sonic muttered.  \n  \n\"The guy who talked to his pet frog. Had a fishing pole, right\"?\"   \nKnuckles vaguely remembered Big's role in the Chaos incident.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Rouge was indifferent. \"Never met him.\"  \n  \nClara picked up a book. \"That man is NOT Big the Cat. It's in these  \npages...\"  \n  \nShe recognized the book. Rouge knew it well enough. \"The book of...  \nstories. Please tell me this doesn't have ANYTHING to do with all that  \nback then. I can't handle that.\"  \n  \n\"It is connected, I'm afraid, but this one is benevolent.\"  \n  \nBig noticed Knuckles. \"Ah. The one I have been waiting to meet.\"  \nThe fat cat walked forward, touching a hand to the echidna's forehead.  \n  \nEveryone watched Knuckles drop the floor.  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nEchoes in blackness were all he could hear. The blackness all he could   \nsee. Knuckles the Echidna... dead? Unconscious? Dreaming?  \n  \nBlackness but form was present. The floor was solid and he could see   \nhimself in the void, as if some light source were aimed upon him and  \nno other object.   \n  \nThe crawling came from an unknown direction. Whatever this was, it was   \nbig. \"Hello?\" he shouted, hoping for an answer. \"Hello!\"  \n  \nThe being was illuminated. Massive, unlike anything seen prior in his   \neyes. The bottom was a large, simple body with two clawed arms and a head  \nwhich seemed familiar. The spikes from the sides, the long shape of the  \nface, the echidna should have been shocked but somehow, this being,  \nunfamiliar in any shape to anything he'd ever met, did not seem to be  \na threat. Though he wondered why the head looked so much like his own  \nkind when the rest was a mess of random shapes.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You do not appear to be afraid,\" it pointed out, continuing the steady  \napproach. \"This is fortunate. Now that my hold upon the simple one has   \nbeen broken, my time in this universe is short.\"  \n  \n\"Simple one?\" he asked, \"you mean Big?\"  \n  \n\"Yes. His mind has been transferred back to his own body but that also  \nmeans I will be drawn to return to my body shortly. The crossing of  \ndimensional borders is not easy.\"  \n  \nBlackness melted to color as an ancient city appeared beneath their feet.  \n\"What's this place?\" the echidna inquired, his interests held by the  \nsudden display.   \n  \n\"Pnakotus, our great city long ago. We were much like you, once. Until  \nthat day...\" Shifting form, the great city suddenly appeared to be little   \nmore than a worn pile of rubble, littered with bodies of those who   \ninhabited. \"Until the day the Yith were slaughtered. We knew this would  \nhappen and projected ourselves into the future.\"  \n  \nWalking alone the stone city streets, Knuckles was reminded of the times  \nhe saw visions of his old tribe and their destruction. \"If you can travel  \nthrough time, why didn't you come back and stop this?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Time will flow as it does,\" the Yith voiced, \"and there are greater   \nconcerns. Do you know of this man?\" The images melted away, showing  \na lit desk in an office. Sitting behind was a tall man in a brown coat.  \n\"We sent this one to your world long ago to survey and ensure that  \nCthulhu had not left any impact.\"  \n  \n\"Yeah, I think I remember him,\" Knuckles recalled. \"He was at Rouge's  \nnightclub. And I think Shadow mentioned him. So that explains it...  \nbut who IS he?\"  \n  \nThe being responded carefully, \"you know him by the name Bill Kesh.  \nThat is all that matters. He will not be sent to your world further. What  \nhe is does not concern you, only us.\" Tearing down the vision, the Yithian  \ncontinued on, \"the one you call Shadow. He has done something to a friend.  \nThat event is creating a tension that must be resolved.\"  \n  \nRaising an eye, the red echidna's interests were grabbed. \"That's not  \nlike Shadow....\"  \n  \n\"His mind is turmoil.\" Forming yet another vision in the dark, Knuckles  \nsaw what appeared to be the black hedgehog standing with a bat woman,  \nwalking along the streets. \"Do you know this other?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I think...\" The memory was clear. \"That's Rouge's mother, I saw pictures  \nof her.\"  \n  \nEdging closer, bending the flexible neck down, the Yith elaborated  \nwith careful wording, \"Shadow feels conflict. He engaged in mating habits  \nwith the female bat. He also knew of the child but did not tell his   \nfriend. She learned of these events much later...\"  \n  \nJaw dropped in shock, he could barely speak. \"That idiot!\"  \n  \n\"This must be resolved. Shadow may very well be important to the survival  \nof your society one day, however... if he is not led down a stable path,  \nhe will never become reliable.\"  \n  \nNodding, Knuckles answered, \"I'll deal with it.\"  \n  \n\"Time grows short. Know this image.\" The Yithian displayed a twisted  \nbeing, crooked body covered in eyes and mouths. \"They are the ones who  \ndestroyed us, ancient and primitive. If such a being ever enters your  \nworld, the only way to destroy it will be directed energy weapons. The  \nonly way.\"  \n  \n\"Gross things, ain't they?\"   \n  \nVisions faded, leaving Knuckles alone. \"Time is at an end. I must return.  \nRemember...\"  \n  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The blackness cleared. His head still hurt but he was awake. \"Knuckles!\"  \nKaren's shout cut through his ears.  \n  \n\"AH! A LITTLE quieter...\" He shook his head, clearing the cobwebs.  \n  \nBig danced. \"He's awake! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!\"  \nHe was his usual self. \"Uh oh, I need to find Froggy!\"  \n  \n\"Your pet frog is in his enclosure,\" Clara stated. \"Go feed him.\"  \n  \nBig bolted from the room. \"Okay... so he's back to normal.\" Knuckles  \nrubbed his temples. \"Where's Sonic?\"  \n  \n\"They had to leave,\" Rouge said. She gave a look towards Shadow.  \n\"Clara explained what happened. I think...\"  \n  \n\"The Yith? You know about them?\"  \n  \nThey were shocked. \"You... you remember what you saw?\" Clara was  \nin complete surprise. \"That's not possible... Big doesn't remember.\"  \n  \n\"Wait...\" Rouge was puzzled. \"What's going on? Tell us!\"  \n  \n\"Yeah, come on. You had us worried, you know?\" Karen said.  \n  \n\"That one... he came here to find me. He crossed dimensions to find me.  \nIt was... where's Tails?\"  \n  \nClara answered, \"in the other room. Still examining the markings and  \nnotes.\"  \n  \n\"Good. That's what that one wanted.\" Knuckles remembered every detail.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Shadow wasn't impressed. \"I read that story. The Yith were killed long  \nago.\"  \n  \n\"They can jump through time itself,\" Clara explained.  \n  \n\"if you don't like it here, then leave,\" Rouge muttered. The two stared  \nat each other.   \n  \nTom took her hand. \"Not now...\"  \n  \nKnuckles ignored them. \"They can jump through time like we'd walk  \ndown a street, but that one had to really try to get here. He showed  \nme their city.\"  \n  \n\"Pnakotus.\" Clara knew the name well.  \n  \n\"Yes.\" he continued, \"and their downfall. They were like my ancestors.  \nThought nothing could stop them. Then those things killed them. Left  \nonly a few who escaped through time.\"  \n  \nTom was confused. \"Wait, if they can travel through time, why didn't  \nthey just go back and save themselves?\"  \n  \nKnuckles explained, \"they knew what was coming but they knew that they  \ncouldn't alter time without bad things happening! They just wanted...  \nthey came here to try and leave us something useful. To help me   \nunderstand more about my past, and what happened to the old tribe.  \nAnd...\" He looked them over carefully. \"The warning. The beings that  \ndestroyed them most likely don't exist in our dimension, but if  \nthey do... I know how to kill them if they ever show their faces.  \nAnyway... where's Sharon?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Karen said, \"they have a daycare here for the employees. I let her go  \nthere so she could pass time. I'll go get her.\"  \n  \nWatching his wife leave the room, he turned to Clara. \"I need a minute  \nwith them.\"  \n  \n\"Of course... I'll be in the next room.\" Twitching the control stick,  \nshe wheeled herself out of the room.  \n  \n\"Now... Shadow? Anything you want to say?\" The black hedgehog ignored   \nhim. Knuckles let out a faint grunt of disapproval. \"Fine, I'll say  \nit. The Yith told me what Shadow did.\"  \n  \n\"What Shadow did? What do you mean?\" Rouge asked.  \n  \nHe said, \"I think you know...\"  \n  \n\"You can't mean...\" She sighed. \"How'd it know?\"  \n  \n\"They're an omnipotent race beyond us. That doesn't matter, does it?  \nShadow did something bad.\" Knuckles asked, \"Shadow?\"  \n  \n\"Fine. It doesn't matter now... what's done is done.\"  \n  \nRouge became angry. \"Shadow! You slept with my mother! You left my  \nsister with her! I tried to forgive you but- I'm sorry, it was just  \ntoo much.\"  \n  \n\"I have to take her side on this, Shadow!\" the echidna scolded. \"But...  \nRouge, just try. I know you're stubborn but at least try! Not that  \nI can blame you, but still...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She gave in. \"Shadow... you have to start. Tell me you're sorry for   \nwhat you did!\"  \n  \n\"I am. I've been questioning my own judgment since you found out.\"  \nHe turned away. \"I got twelve GUN agents killed because I was careless  \nand now they don't even trust me. I was responsible for them and let  \nthem down. It's why I'm here. Clara is old and sick. She needed an  \nassistant. I took an easy job.\"  \n  \n\"Sick?\" Tom asked. \"She's old but-\"  \n  \n\"She's dying,\" Shadow said. \"Cancer.\"  \n  \nKnuckles decided to keep on topic. \"Shadow messed up. He's sorry. But  \nShadow... seriously, get a girlfriend or something! I don't even know  \nwhat you're up to anymore! No one does. Find something to do with your  \ntime instead of this idiotic moping around!\"  \n  \n\"Hmph.\" Shadow wasn't amused. \"I'm immortal. I don't date!\"  \n  \n\"Really?\" Rouge smirked. \"There's an employee at the casino which  \nmight be- no... you couldn't deal with her.\"  \n  \n\"Tell me,\" he demanded.   \n  \nThe bat turned away. \"No. You said you weren't interested!\"  \n  \n\"Tell him or I will,\" Tom ordered.  \n  \n\"Okay... Knuckles, you know the one.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;He said, \"yeah. The one who left the island. The one into motorcycle  \nracing and fist fights! Cytheria!\"  \n  \n\"Fist fights?\" Shadow was intrigued.  \n  \n\"Maybe that's what you need,\" Rouge said, \"someone more your type.  \nMaybe that's why you weren't into me, I was a bit too refined....  \nmy mother, on the other hand, was rough and didn't have any inhibitions.  \nA bit like my employee...\"  \n  \nShadow was interested in the challenge. \"Very well. Tell me where I can  \nfind her!\"  \n  \n\"Oh, no,\" Tom blurted out. \"That's not how you get a woman's attention.  \nAnyway... I know her. You walk up to her with your usual attitude,   \nshe'll bust your nose open.\"  \n  \nShadows eyes cocked wide. \"She works at Club Rouge?\"  \n  \n\"Security detail,\" Rouge explained. \"But I'll talk to her. Let her  \nknow. See if she's interested.\"  \n  \n\"Very well,\" Shadow said. \"I will be here if you need to contact me.  \nNow, if you will excuse me, I need to see if Clara requires my  \nassistance...\" He left the room.  \n  \n\"Hmm... you think that's a good idea?\" Thomas asked. \"Cytheria's a bit,  \num... scary?\"  \n  \n\"We WERE a bit happy when she left the island,\" Knuckles agreed, \"but  \nmaybe if Shadow gets his butt kicked it'll do him some good. Hmm....  \nbetter go find Karen and Sharon. I really need to get back. See you  \nguys later!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;As Knuckles left the room, Tom took Rouge's hand. \"That went rather  \nwell.\"  \n  \n\"Maybe...\" Rouge was suspicious. \"Although... I wonder if that being   \nreally told Knuckles what was going on.\"  \n  \nTom felt it too. \"I know... I think he tricked us into telling him.   \nWhatever. We need to get home.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nThe living room door peeked open, the twins spotting their parents  \nimmediately and rushing them. \"Yes, we're home!\" Rouge said. \"Come on,  \nlet go!\"  \n  \n\"Took long enough,\" June remarked.   \n  \n\"Yes, well... we got a bit caught up,\" Tom explained.  \n  \nJune said, \"I know. I called down there. Oh, sis, I gotta go see Miles  \nPrower tomorrow.\"  \n  \n\"What? You talked to him?\" Rouge was a bit worried. \"I think he's-\"  \n  \n\"Chill, sis,\" June said. \"Just wanna make sure, okay? He's got a point,  \nthis hasn't been done before.\" She tugged her shirt down. \"I wanna make  \ndamn sure my baby's gonna be fine. Now, Teal and Slate are in the   \nkitchen and Tiff's in the shower.\"  \n  \nSetting her purse down, Rouge smiled. Tom said, \"come on, we should   \nchange.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;She looked up at him. \"Carry me?\" Picking her up, Tom cradled his wife  \ngently. \"Mmmm... Tom?  \n  \n\"Yes?\"  \n  \n\"Think we can take a few minutes to get romantic before dinner?\"  \n  \n\"I think we can. Just a few minutes, though.\"  \n  \nLeaning in, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTwenty six years, ten months have passed  \n  \n  \n-------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nLeaning back, Rouge balanced against one of the decorative pillars  \nof her casino. The shift change was happening, employees clocking  \nout as their replacements arrived. She took note of one particular  \nemployee, the bright orange echidna in full biker gear headed for  \nthe entrance. The head of security juggled her helmet, waiting for  \nhim. Shadow briefly stepped in through the main doors, leading her  \nout.  \n  \nRouge knew what had to be done, but she wouldn't do it. Not now. Tom  \nknew it, too. He found her watching the door. \"She gone?\"  \n  \n\"Just left with Shadow,\" she said.  \n  \nTom nodded. \"She's been showing up late for work, more rude than   \nusual...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I know that, Tom,\" she blurted out, \"but she's also dating Shadow. I'm  \nnot going to risk making him mad. Funny...\" She let out a weak sigh.  \n\"I would've thought finding someone like her would be good for him. But  \nShadow's become even more anti-social than he was before.\"  \n  \nTom said, \"he didn't exactly get Miss Manners...\"  \n  \nShe shrugged. \"Whatever. I'm sick of worrying about it. Shadow isn't  \na part of my life anymore. Let him do whatever he wants. As for us,  \nI think we should get home.\"  \n  \n---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nJune grinned, piling the watermelon high with whatever she could grab.  \nStrawberries, cherries, marshmallows, peanut butter, anything edible  \nwas viable.\u0026nbsp; Tiff look at the stack in amazement. \"You SURE that's even  \nvaguely healthy?\"  \n  \n\"Pfft! Healthy enough!\" she shouted. \"Seedless watermelon, seedless  \ncherries and grapes... damn I'm hungry! Hey, I've got a growing kid   \nin me that's about to be born! You're really freaking out over this...\"  \n  \nTiff didn't saw a word, merely leaving the kitchen. Passing into the  \nliving room, she noticed Tom sorting through the day's mail. Taking a   \nseat beside him, she said, \"am I wrong to be worried?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Huh?\" He looked over. \"Oh... no. You have a baby due next month.  \nI've been there a few times...\"  \n  \nShe clutched both hands together. \"I talked to my dad about this but  \neven he couldn't really tell me everything. Just about how me being  \nborn was one of the best times of his life.\" Closing her eyes, Tiff  \ncontinued, \"June's on maternity leave and they put me on forced vacation  \nto be with her. I don't have anything to do... but just sit here and   \nwait. The worst part? I'm REAL scared... I'm afraid something's going to  \nhappen!\"  \n  \n\"I know, Tiff. Just hope for the best, okay?\"  \n  \nTiff felt something brush her shoulder. She turned back to see Rouge  \nleaning over the top of the couch. \"Tiff? How are you holding up?\"  \n  \n\"Good enough,\" the black bat answered.  \n  \n\"Look at that,\" Rouge commented, \"you let the pink streak fade.\" Tiff  \nhad neglected her fur dye for two months. \"Why don't you do something  \nnice for June and go dye it in?\"  \n  \n\"Well...\" Tiff smiled. \"Okay.\" She ran off.  \n  \nFlipping over onto the cushions, Rouge said, \"the twins are in bed.  \nCome on...\" Taking his hand, she led her husband into their bedroom.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"You were getting territorial...\" he scolded.  \n  \n\"I was not...\" Rouge seemed slightly offended. \"Okay, maybe I was.  \nA woman that young latching onto my husband like that.\"  \n  \n\"I'd hardly call that 'latching on'. Anyway, Tiff's a lesbian. As I  \nrecall, she's more attracted to you than to me.\"  \n  \nTossing his jacket aside, Tom dug through the closet, stumbling upon a  \nlarge box. \"I remember this...\" Pulling it from the closet floor, Tom   \nopened the flaps. \"We should probably use this or get rid of it.\"  \n  \n\"Use what?\" she asked, walking towards him. Eyes went wide when she  \nsaw. \"Oh... when was the last time I rode that?\"  \n  \nHe recalled, \"five years.\"  \n  \nShe smiled. \"Set it up.\"  \n  \nSetting the heavy cardboard box on the bed, Thomas removed the sybian,  \nunrolling the cord and plugging it in. Unwinding the control pad's  \ncable, he waited for his wife. Rouge had stripped naked, jumping  \nonto bed and sorting through the attachments in the box. Selecting  \nthe small bump, she began to attach it, messing with the clips.  \n  \nStraddling the machine, she messed with the buttons of her lover's  \nshirt, exposing his chest as her hands slid into his pants, fondling  \nthe soft mass. \"Come on, get hard...\" she said, unzipping his pants.  \nSatisfied, she held onto the erection.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Ready?\" Tom asked.   \n  \n\"Make me like it, Tom!\" Rouge said, inviting him to activate it. He  \nturned the knob, the sybian vibrating low. She could feel it, gentle  \nagainst her vagina, humming. Holding his dick gently, she was stroking  \nhim, Tom leaning in to kiss her, his free hand pinching her nipples.  \nIt only made her hornier, pussy juice dripping down over the seat.  \n  \nFlipping the knob to the next setting, Tom reached down, tugging gently  \non her skin to pull the hood from the clit, exposing it to the  \nvibrations. Her lips worked harder, spit dripping from her mouth as she   \nlicked his tongue, breathing through her nose.  \n  \nAlmost lost in this, she was sparked back to reality when the machine  \nvibrated harder. Tom had clicked the knob up by two more settings.  \nReeling back, Rouge had to break the kiss to breathe through her mouth.  \nBiting her lower lip, the bat grinned, licking her lips, squeezing his  \ncock harder. \"Too much?\" he asked.  \n  \n\"This? This is NOTHING! OOOH!\" Rouge was panting like mad. \"Go all the  \nway up!\"  \n  \n\"You sure?\"  \n  \n\"Give it to me!\" she demanded, body shaking with the motor as the knob  \nwent to full. The seat was wet, sex fluids leaking all over her legs.  \nWings folded straight back, teeth gritting hard. Rouge could feel the  \nwet mess on her hand, precum seeping out as she stroked on his dick.  \n\"This isn't...\" Spring forth, she was free of the machine as she pinned  \nThomas to the bed, slamming down on top of him. Rouge might have   \nwinced at forcing him inside, but she was soaking wet and near orgasm.  \nHer pussy offered no resistance.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Bouncing up and down, the look on her face was almost evil. \"No more  \ntoys! Come on, big boy, nail me!\" Her well-muscled body writhed,  \nbreasts bouncing to a steady rhythm as she bit her lip. Tom, feeling  \nplayful, smacked her ass. It was enough to send her over the edge.  \nYelling loud, she grabbed her tits, moaning as her body went tense.  \nTom almost cried out, her pussy muscles squeezing on him hard.  \nRegaining her senses, she let the last bit of orgasm pass through her.  \n  \nShe wasn't satisfied, however. \"You didn't cum!\"   \n  \n\"I'll do something about that,\" he said. Rolling over, he kept Rouge  \nattached to his groin, lying her flat on the bed, ass on the edge of   \nthe mattress. Thrusting with a steady pace, he looked her in the eyes.  \n  \n\"I'm conna cum before you get off again.\"  \n  \nShe replied, \"I don't care.\"  \n  \n\"I'll make it up to you. Finger you in the tub, okay? Love you...\"  \n  \nRouge moaned. \"I love you, too, Tom....\"  \n  \nHis hips jittered, short, forced thrusts as he came, body jumping  \nslightly with each bit that pumped out. Rouge could feel it,   \nsplattering her inner walls, hitting the tip of her uterus deep within.  \nShe gave him a cute smile. \"No machine can ever make me feel like you  \ndo. Speaking of which...\" She looked over at it, still vibrating.  \nTom grabbed the pad, switching it off. \"Help me clean it up. And I  \nmean clean!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------  \n  \n  \nTiff opened the door to her bedroom, giving June room to step in.  \nReady to sit on the bed, June saw the box, taped neatly shut. \"Whoa!  \nThe hell's this thing?\" Ripping the tape free, she found a note-  \n  \n\"June-  \n  \nTiff's under a lot of stress. Help her unwind. Don't worry, it's been  \ncleaned and tested. Tiff might like using one of my old toys. I know  \nshe thinks of me as her idol, so it's the least I can do.  \n  \n- your big sister\"  \n  \nPulling the sybian out, June sorted through the rubber pad attachments.  \n\"Is this what I think it is?\" Tiff asked nervously.  \n  \n\"Why?\" June smirked. \"What do you think it is?\"  \n  \nTiff looked at the attachments. \"But I-\"  \n  \nPulling her tight, June hugged her wife. \"You need to stop freaking out  \nover this. The baby's fine. Have some fun, okay? Now get that thing  \nout of the box and plug it in!\"  \n  \nTiff lifted it out. \"But what about you?\"  \n  \nJune laughed. \"Right now I couldn't get horny if I tried. But don't  \nworry...\" She grabbed the control knob. \"I'll make sure you have a  \ngood time!\"  \n  \n\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/709162-sonic-the-hedgehog-the-series-part-6.json"}
