The Confusing Thing About Relationships

20

Sonic was at his parent's house, celebrating his mother's birthday. All his siblings and their spouses were there, including his.

"Happy birthday Mom!" Sonic said once his mother opened the door.

"Oh Sonic! You're here! And Sally, I'm so happy to see you!" She went in and gave both of them a big hug.

"I'm glad to see you too, gosh it's been so long."

"It has, but I know how busy you two can be. Come in, come in, everyone else is already here." Bernadette lead them inside where the kids were watching TV with Manic's wife, Cecilia sitting along with them, holding baby Cyrus.

Everyone else was in the kitchen, laughing and talking amongst themselves.

Once he was spotted by his niece and nephew both of them came running up to him.

"UNCLE SONIC!!" Both of them shouted.

"Woah, hey guys, how've you been?"

"Good! Can you take us on a run?!!"

Before Sonic could answer them, Cecilia walked to them. "No kids, they had a long drive here, they should rest a bit first."

"Awww, but moooom~" they both whined.

"No 'buts' now go sit."

The kids unhappily went back to the couch and continued to watch TV.

"Hey, Cecilia, hey Cyrus"

"Hey, Sonic." They gave each a side hug before continuing to talk. "How've you two been?"

"Oh, we've been alright, just busy, how 'bout you?"

"Oh you know.... Just busy with the kids, mom life, and all that stuff."

Sonic wasn't able to say anything else as Sally spoke up. "How's that like?" Sally sweetly smiled but Cecilia just gave a weak smile back and sighed. "Tiering, but at least Manic helps out whenever he's not working."

Sonic knew why Sally asked that question and it annoyed him a bit but he was kinda glad that Cecilia said the negative thing about raising children.

"But once you guys have your own kids, you'll get a better idea of it." She smiled.

'Oh please don't say that...'

Sonic could see from the corner of his eyes that Sally was smiling at what Cecilia just said.

'Damnit'

"Yeah... maybe... but you never know," Sonic said awkwardly with Sally giving him a side-eye look.

Soon Cecilia sat back down with her kids and Sonic, Sally and his mother went to the kitchen where everyone else was at.

"Hey Dad"

"There he is! About you got here son." Jules smiled and gave his son a hug. "And Sally, it's so good to see you again, how's your father?"

"Oh, he's been well, just always busy."

"Well, he is a hard working man... give him my best wishes."

Sally giggled. "Will do."

Soon everyone was seated and started to talk about everything that's been going on in each other's lives.

Sonia then looked over at both Sonic and Sally. "So, has anything new happened in your lives?"

"Um, well... you guys remember my friends Knuckles and Rouge and how they just had a new baby?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, they made me the godfather of their kids."

Everyone at the table was happy to hear the news and his mom once again gave both him and Sally a hug. "Oh that's so exciting, you two must be so thrilled!"
