Happy He's Home. (A stobotnik book)

~Chapter 19~ Alternate ending

Decided to make an alternate ending because I want to see people cry :) - Ivo

Stone woke up with relatively less pain than the day before, not counting the slight pain in his arm as he forgot to take of his prosthetic the night before. He took of the fake arm and started his day. Taking a shower, brushing his teeth, getting dressed, putting the prosthetic back on so he could make breakfast. But what he saw in the kitchen almost break down into tears. Happy ones of course!

All of his children doing their best to try and cook something simple, Metal doing everything involving the oven, Eggette being the ringleader and telling everyone what they should do, knuckles stirring something while tails get the table ready.

"Hi papa!! How did you sleep?" Tails said excitedly before running over and hugging stones leg, Eggette and Metal following shortly after.

"I slept great thanks for asking you little fluff ball." Stone squatted down, dismissing the pain in his legs to hug the children, who quickly hugged back.

"We are doing this as a thank you for letting them stay here, we enjoy having them around. It was me and tails idea." Eggette said proudly before showing stone was they were making, waffles!

"Looks great! Thanks kids." Stone smiled sweetly and kissed them on the top of the head, making sure knuckles wouldn't punch him for doing it first. "I'm going to go wake your dad before the food gets cold. Go ahead and get yourself a situated in your seats ok?" Stone said calmly, wiping the tiredness off his face.

"Ok papa!" Most of the kids said in unison before heading to their seats, though knuckles started cleaning up the kitchen.

Stone walked over to knuckles and put a calm hand on the echidnas shoulder. "Hey kid, I'll clean in a bit. You go eat ok?"

Knuckles nodded and quickly hugged stones leg before going over to the table and getting in a seat.

Stone made his was back to his and Ivo's bedroom, slowing his pace as he walked over to their bed. He sat next to Ivo's sleeping figure, then laying down next to the taller man. "Love, it's time to wake up." Stone chuckled and kissed the tip of Ivo's nose.

Ivo groaned and put one of his hands on stone hip. "Five more minutes amour.." Ivo pulled stone close and kissed his lover.

"The kids made food, come on it's going to get cold." Stone cupped Ivo's face and pulled him in for a quick kiss.

"Ok ok." Ivo sat up, pulling stone with him. "How are you feeling? How's the pain?" Ivo asked as him and stone walked out the room and to the table.

"I'm fine my love, now let's get on with our day." Stone said calmly, smiling like a fool.

The days seemed to go by quicker, their family was happier. The days turned into weeks, tails and knuckles didn't go home to sonic. Though he had come to visit, the interaction went something like this.

"Hey tails!" Sonic yelled from outside the house, this was right before the force field was finished.

"Sonic?! What are you doing here!" Tails flew out the window and stood in front of sonic.

"I miss ya buddy! Where would I be without my sidekick!" Sonic wrapped an arm around tails shoulder, though the fox moved away from the touch.

"Sonic I'm more than just some sidekick.." Tails said while he shuffled his feet, just then knuckles came outside.

"Hedgehog? What are you doing here?" The echidna stood in front of tails, guarding the fox.

"What am I not allows to see my friend?" Sonic went around knuckles to tails. "Anyways it's time for you guys to come home! I need your help!"
