Part of The Tribe

✦°• ᄃΉΛPƬΣЯ ΣᄂΣVΣП •°✦

Sonic looks at himself in the mirror in the bathroom, his bump had gotten bigger to point that it was noticeable, just not to noticeable that he couldn't lay on his stomach, he pinned his ears down, letting out a some whimper. He lets out a small sigh as he slips on the light blue silk pants, and strapless top. He is only ten weeks into his pregnancy, and he was already looking fat...mostly because he was carrying six pups instead of one, something that he didn't know of.

"Eeep!!" Sonic squeaked when he was suddenly lifted off of his paws, he was holding the three lapis gemstones that that go onto his forehead. "So are you ready for that first ultrasound?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic pinned his ears down, he was mostly nervous than excited, since he's been here the tribe as been but overprotective towards him to the point that he couldn't hangout with his husband...when he was guarding the fake emerald, not only that he's just been feeling weak lately, more than usual. But he couldn't help but nod, at least his husband was excited.

It wasn't a long walk to the Medical Hut, in the village, and Knuckles just felt comfortable carrying his pregnant mate, he had taken notice that Sonic has been struggling with walking, since his legs were supporting more than just his own weight, but the weight of him, and six growing pups in his womb. "K-Knuckles..." Sonic whimpers out, he wasn't trying to vomit...but the swaying motion, and his own husband's scent was triggering his nausea, not to mention the nervous feeling he was getting before they left the hut.

"Hmm? Oh..." Knuckles sets Sonic down, who just hurried off to the restroom in the medical hut, to empty out his stomach, by vomiting into the toilet, the one thing that he was starting to hate...was the so called morning sickness, it always showed up at the wrong times, made him feel horrible afterwards, and ruining his sleep schedule, not that cramping was any better.

"Queen Sonic?"

Knuckles looked up at the the dark orangish-reddish echidna, with two long back quills and two short quills on the side of her face, a light brown tan muzzle, wearing a dark brown animal pelt top being held up over her breast by a neck strap, matching short, and a white thin animal pelt jacket. This is Doctor Ginger...Zane's wife and assistant doctor. There were of course nurses that were a mixed of light orange echidnas, yellow echidnas, and dark red echidnas, both of which being male and female.

"He's um..."

"I'm...here" Sonic mutters as he lets out a small huff. Ginger only smiled to herself. "Perfect right this way" she said as she motions the couple to follow her.

"I can tell how you look, my Queen, that the pregnancy is going quiet well" Ginger said as she started to get the things ready for the ultrasound. Knuckles helped Sonic onto the hospital bed and onto his back, most of the tribal outfits Sonic's wearing exposes a lot of his stomach, so they didn't have to worry about lifting up his shirt.

"I...I guess" Sonic said as he watched the doctor, "This is gonna feel cold" she said as she held the gel bottle over the hedgehog's swollen stomach. When the bottle was squeezed and a blue like substance was placed onto his stomach, he shivers and whimpers as the feeling.

The devices was placed onto his bump, the screen in front of him was only showing a black and white image of his womb, "There they are" Ginger smiled.

"T-They?..." Sonic stammers, as his ear tilted back. "That's right My Queen, looks to me that you are carrying Six little pups" Ginger said as she pointed out each sack that had a little creature growing inside. Sonic couldn't believe what he was seeing...but it explains why his bump was showing to little bit early, and his legs struggled to keep him standing, not that he hadn't carried anything heavy on his adventures, but he had to admit he really hasn't been active since the war ended, sure he still went out on runs and fought Eggman Robots that were still roaming around, but heavy lifting, not as much as he used to.

"Would you like to hear their heartbeats?"

"W-We can d-do that..." Sonic asked, he really couldn't help but to get emotional, the female echidna nodded, and flipped a switch on the device, and sure enough there was more than one little thumping sound, that was very different from Sonic's heartbeat. Knuckles flinches when he felt his hand getting squeezed, not hard, but enough to get his attention, he saw his husband had tears in his eyes at this beautiful moment.

"It's still too early to tell what species they are, but everything looks fine and normal for your little ones" Ginger said as she printed out the picture of the ultrasound. "I'll give you guys a minute...before I take Sonic for some testing" Ginger said as she handed over the photo and wiping away the gel off of Sonic's stomach and turning the machine off, taking her leave.

"K-Knuckles..." Sonic cried out, as he wraps his arms around the echidna, after he sat himself up. "T-There...s-so t-tiny, a-and beautiful" he sobbed into his husband.

"They will get bigger, Sonic...but not to big to the point that you'll be bedridden" Knuckles tells his husband.

Sonic just buries his face into his husband, sobbing quietly into his chest. It was a little while before Sonic calm down.

The blue hedgehog had his legs dangling over the side of the bed. "A-And to make sure that does happen...I'll exercise as much as I can"

Knuckles only shakes his head "Don't over work yourself...Hedgehog, your health is just as important as our pups"

Ginger walked into the room, "Are you ready My Queen?"

Sonic nodded as he got off of the bed to follow the Doctor, "You can wait in the waiting room, Chief, I'll have back in know time"

Knuckles nodded and gave his husband a quick kiss on the lips before walking out of the room.

"So what is this test for?" Sonic asked.

"Just a little quick one, We just need samples of  your breast milk, so we can make formula for your kitons" Ginger said.

Sonic only nodded, he really didn't understand anything about the tribe, but he can understand that baby formula is expensive, and now that he new he was having six pups he didn't know if his body would able to naturally produce enough milk for all them.

"And don't worry my Queen, your body will naturally produce enough milk for all six of your little ones, you know incase one gets a little too hungry, this is just so we can be prepared" the female echidna motions Sonic to sit down while she made the drink with the medication to help the body produce more milk, but for this reason to help body produce the proteins so that he could lactate early.

Sonic was told to take the top off, which he was hesitant about but he did anyways, since his pregnancy started his body went through a lot of changes, and most of the changes being in his chest area, being a hermaphrodite, he was born as a male...but with a Female reproductive system being his more dominant organ, and like a females he has the proteins to produce breast milk, therefore his chest has little hills that are his breasts, and his nipples are exposed, but are naturally hidden by his fur.

"Well everything looks healthy with your pecks...but I can see that they have gotten more pronounced" Ginger said as she traced her fingers around the little breast tissue. "Here you go, My Queen" she said as she gives the hedgehog the drink.

Sonic started to drink the water down it wasn't anything that the witch doctor made him drink, and tasted like water so there wasn't really any harm to it.

"Ahh~" Sonic groans when his chest was squeezed, and some white liquid started to flow out of his nipples, Ginger took a the sample in his milk into a test tube.

"The effect will fade away with a week, but you might feel a little heavy around your chest"

Sonic nodded as he wipes away the milk from his exposed nipple, before putting on his top.

After scheduling another appointment, Sonic held onto Knuckles hand purring softly as they walked back to the hut.
