Knuckles was watching his kids sleep, to his eyes it was kind of blessing to see all seven of them snoozing away, as well as shift and move in the bassinet, he looks down at his hand, and back at the bassinet, his kids were small compared to the palm of his hand, about the size of a kawaii. He looks at the communicator that was on his husband's wrist, he kind of didn't want to tell the other's that the kids had been born earlier than expected. He didn't want to deal with Amy, or Tails letting him that...he should've taken Sonic to a Hospital Before the third trimester started.
Sonic whimpers as he tried moving in his sleep, to lay in a more comfortable position, cause of his back, he definitely had a bath, after he had given birth and a simple check up to see that nothing had been damaged during child birth, which there wasn't, just some simple soreness. The light moment was a little to much that he started to wake himself up. "Hey...Hey...take it easy your still recovering" Knuckles said to his husband.
"W-where? What ha-" He noticed the bassinets with his sleeping children inside them, than he looks up at Knuckles, who was helping him to lay back down, his abdomen felt like it was burning. "How long was I out for?"
"Not that long...it's only two in the morning" Knuckles responded, Sonic forces himself to sit up completely from the bed, only only whimper and tear up a little cause of the pain. "Sonic what are you trying to do?"
"S-Sit up..." Knuckles lets out a small sigh as he lays Sonic back down on the bed, "Don't like I said your still recovering, if you need anything just ask, I'll get it for you"
Sonic only looks away, before letting out a small sigh, his ear tilted up when heard some sniffing and whimpering, the hedgehog turned his attention over to Tara, who was awake, he pulls the bassinet over to to pick up. "Ssh...It's okay, Mommy is here" Tara only wiggles her muzzle to her Mother's exposed nipple putting her mouth on it and start suckling.
"Doesn't that feel weird?" Knuckles said.
Sonic shook his head, "It can feel it...if anything it's kind of relieving pain in my chest" he said, Tara pulled away when she full...a little bit of left over milk was still leaking out of his nipple. He quickly burps Tara, before just holding her, now that she was awake, Sonic didn't want her to disturb her sleeping siblings.
"Didn't know that could hurt...then again you would whimper if I put pressure on you chest" Knuckles said as he sat back in his chair.
"I'm sensitive there...cause of my pregnancy, it didn't help that they gave me a pill to lactate earlier than expected...causing to produce milk early than normal" Sonic said as he picks up the other puggy that was whimpering, that being Brock.
"The sooner...I'm the sooner we can go home...This bed isn't comfortable" Sonic mutters as he watched Brock feed. At least he didn't have to worry about feeding them all at once...not at the moment anyways, it was gonna be pain when they start growing and wanting to feed more, hopefully his body can naturally handle it.
"How are you doing?" Knuckles asked his husband, who turned his attention from Lilac who was last be fed.
"Tired...hungry, and sore" Sonic admits as he looks away, he was mostly afraid to see how much his body had changed, sure losing the baby weight wasn't gonna be a problem, since he naturally burns at least a thousand calories per day cause of how much he runs...it's just his figure that he was worried about.
"Hey whatever happens, I'll be their to help you, I'm sure the Elder will send a nanny to help us out with taking care of the kids" Knuckles said as he leans forward to nuzzle his husband's cheek, he's gotten use to the things that Sonic did, cause of his natural hedgehog instincts, like how he nuzzles his cheek on Knuckles when he wanted comfort of attention.
Cole lets out a yawn as he snuggles deep into Sonic's fur purring softly. They may only be a day old but they are only follow their instincts, and that being cuddle close to their Mother. Since the hoglets didn't have harden quills yet...so they were defenseless.
Kai borrows his way underneath Sonic's head and shoulder.
"Is that a hedgehog thing? If so...It's adorable" Knuckles snickers, as he watches the hoglets cuddle close into his husband's body.
"A hedgehog thing...They don't have harden quills like mine, so they borrow close to their parent...who knows they might do the same to you" Sonic said as he moves Lilac a little to that she didn't fall off of the bed. "They go off a scent at this age"
"Explains why their pupils are cloudy" Knuckles said as he rubs his rubs his eyes kind of tired, the puggies also cuddled into Sonic, going back to sleep. "You should get some sleep still...I'll wake you up when food is brought"
"Thank you...Knux" Sonic said as he lets out a small yawn and slowly started to fall back asleep.
