Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Gierin the Echidnat ❯ Burlow and Sarah ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Let's see, where did I leave off? Oh yeah, now I remember. Well, here's the story.

Knuckles and Rouge couldn't help but stare at their daughter, Gierin was still asleep and felt
safe. Rouge's ears were slightly bent forward.

"Knuckles, what exactly are we going to call the type of creature Gierin is?"Rouge asked.

"Why don't we call them echidnats?"Knuckles suggested.

"That sounds good."Rouge replied.

Rouge seemed to feel very hot even when it wasn't even hot in the room, Knuckles suggested
going to the doctor so now they needed to find someone to look after Gierin so Knuckles tried
calling Sonic and asking him.

"Sonic? It's Knuckles."Knuckles said over the phone.

"Hey, Knuckles. What's up?"Sonic said.

Knuckles explained everything.

"Oh, sure. I'll watch your daughter. Besides, I've got two kids of my own."Sonic said.

"You do? I can hear one screaming over the phone."Knuckles said.

"Yeah, my daughter is always crying while my son is as quiet as a mouse."Sonic replied.

The next morning, Knuckles took Gierin to Sonic's house. Amy answered the door, she was
holding a crying hedgehog. The hoglet looked like a blue version of Amy.

Knuckles handed Gierin to Amy, Amy put Gierin in the playpen where her son was coloring in a coloring book.
He glanced over at Gierin who was half asleep.

"(baby talk translated) Hey kid, wake up."he said.

"Huh... wha...?"Gierin said without opening her eyes.

"Hi, I'm Burlow. What's your name?"Burlow asked.

"Umm...Uhh... Gee, I don't know."Gierin replied.

At that moment, Amy came and put Burlow's crying sister in the playpen.

"Bye... bye... mama."Burlow said.

Amy smiled and kissed Burlow on the forehead.

"Wow, how did you do that?!"Gierin asked.

"What?"Burlow replied.

"How did you get her to understand you?"

"That's an easy one to answer."Burlow's sister said. "Hi, I'm Sarah. Being able to talk to
the grown-ups is like being able to walk, you just have to know how to do it."

"Sarah, why were you crying?"Gierin asked.

"Well, I have something that the grown-ups call aseema. (translation: asthma)"Sarah replied.

"That sounds bad."Gierin said.

"It is. When it happens, I have trouble breathing and even if I do get any air, it still hurts."

"How long have you had it?"

"As far back as I can remember."

"Are you able to open your eyes?"Burlow asked.

"No,"Gierin replied. "What's it like to be able to see?"

"Well, it can really be discribed but it gets really old really fast. Have you ever dreamed
in your sleep?"Burlow asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Then you know what being able to see is like because you see objects in your sleep."

The three infants continued their conversations. It didn't take long for the puggle and two hoglets
to become friends.

Meanwhile, at the doctor's office.

"Well, there is nothing wrong. All you need is some sleep and you should be up to full strength
by this evening."the doctor said to Rouge. "By the way, would you be willing to bring your daughter
to me sometime?"

Knuckles knew where this was going.

"No, I know what you're trying to do and the answer is no! I don't care weather I have to fight or cuss you out
of this office, YOU'RE NOT TAKING GIERIN!!!"Knuckles said.

What do you think? It's kinda short but I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
