"What do you mean you're pregnant?!" A red echidna yelled, his eyes were wide, and he seemed really pale.

The day had once been quiet, but now a certain floating island known as Angel Island was full of yelling. Knuckles the Echidna and (Y/N) the (A/t) had gotten into a bit of a spiff about something that was... Not entirely expected.

"I mean I'm going to have a baby!" A (f/c) (a/t) yelled back, arms crossed and tapping her foot, "What is so hard to understand in that sentence?"

You see, the two are dating, which surprised everyone since they fight a lot, but it was normally fun fighting that they knew wouldn't matter the next day. They had been dating for a while now and had decided to... Take another step.

Not surprisingly, Knuckles is a little behind in his sex ED classes, which has now landed (Y/N) a little pregnant. Neither were expecting it and the surprise has, well... Started another fight.

"The fact that you're pregnant! It was only one time!" Knuckles huffed, crossing his arms.

"And that's all it takes!" (Y/N) shouted, clearly annoyed at him.

"Well if I knew that I wouldn't have done it!"

The (a/t) froze, glaring at him, what felt like ice stabbed at her chest as his words circled in her head, "You wouldn't have huh...?"

"No... I'm not exactly thrilled about this..." The echidna stated bluntly, and (Y/N)'s ears lowered slightly.

"Well it's not my fault.." She huffed, turning away from him, "I did ask if you were taking precautions."

"And I thought you meant locking the door."

"Why would you need to do that?! No one is just going to barge into your house let alone your room! You live on a fucking island!"

"Well sorry I was worried Shadow or Sonic would find a way up here and need help with some Eggman bullshit." Knuckles grunted, "No, if I knew this would happen I wouldn't have done it."

Tears stung the (a/t)'s eyes, the least she was hoping was for him to be supportive. However she seemed to be getting quiet the opposite. She frowned and rubbed her head, how could he even think of saying that. She thought he would have been... Different.

"And if I had known you'd acted this way... I wouldn't have dated you." She finally managed to speak.

Knuckles glanced at her, raising a brow, "You don't mean that..."

"And neither do you?!" She turned back to him, her muzzle red in anger, "How do you think I feel about this?! I'm the one that's going to be having the baby, you could easily walk away and just... Forget it..."

"I..." He stopped, confused as to why his girlfriend was acting so strange, "I don't want to walk away..."

"Well that's what it sounds like..." She wiped her eyes, "I was hoping... I know we didn't plan it, I know you didn't want it but... I thought you should have known... I thought you would have... Been nicer..."

The red echidna stared at her, of course he would be angry, this was more stress added to his daily life, he didn't exactly have time for puggles or pups or whatever this would create. But he frowned as he watched (Y/N) sniff, wiping her muzzle, she really was upset.

"I know you didn't ask for it..." She continued, "But I don't... I don't want to go through it alone... I don't want to be a single mother... I don't even have a job... I really need your help... I didn't want this either, it was a mistake but... Well now we know... And, saying you wouldn't have done it... Really hurts..."

He lowered his head, holding it in his gloved hand. He didn't even think about how the (fc) (a/t) would have felt, his anger had gotten the best of him again.

"Yeah I'm... I'm sorry..." He sighed, turning to her watery (e/c) gaze, "I know, I just, what a surprise you know?"

He walked to her, pulling her into a hug, "I won't walk away or leave you alone, I'll help you throughout the whole pregnant thing..."

She leant into him, "Thank you..."

"But we're name it Knuckles Junior."

"Knuckles!"

"What?"

"It could be a girl."

"And?"

"We are not calling it Knuckle Junior."

"Why not? It's a wonderful name!"

~A Few Months Later~

The news had spread quickly, and soon enough, every one of the Freedom Fighters knew that (Y/N) was pregnant. As expected, everyone was shocked, they had expected the two to have split by now, and here they are having a baby.

As you could have guessed, (Y/N) stomach had also grown. It was a pain when she had to explain to Knuckles why, as the child grew in her stomach.

"What do you mean grow? How will you get something that size out?" He asked, tilting his head.

"I... I'm not explaining that..." The (a/t) huffed, her cheeks red.

"So do you have a name yet?" Amy asked over a cup of tea, she had invited the (a/t) and echidna over, mainly to ask awkward questions.

"Knuckles Junior." The echidna stated matter-of-factly.

(Y/N) elbowed him in the ribs, "We are not calling it that!"

"Do you know it's gender yet?"

"I think it's going to be a strapping young boy like me." Knuckles stated, rubbing his side.

"I think so too, but it could be a girl." (Y/N) rolled her eyes, "And I want to call the girl Diamond, since Emerald would be too cliché."

"You didn't tell me that." Knuckles blinked, "Emerald would be a wonderful name."

"I agree, Diamond seems too... I don't know..." Amy shrugged.

You huffed and crossed your arms, "Fine, you name my child then..."

"Sorry! I just... I was giving my opinion." Amy waved her hands, "Either all, the child would be beautiful. But besides Knuckles Junior, which is a horrible name-"

"Hey!"

"-What do you want to call it if it's a boy?"

"That's a good question..." (Y/N) rubbed her chin in thought, "Nothing that relates to a body type though."

"What's wrong with Knees or Finger or Fist?" Knuckles pouted, his hands on his hips.

"Everything." The (a/t) rolled her eyes.

"Well I hope you think of a good name." Amy smiled, "Want any biscuits?"

The (a/t)'s ears perked, "Yes please!"

"Aren't you craving biscuits?" Knuckles tilted his head.

"Maybe..."

"Are you meant to be following your cravings?"

"Yes-"

"No, (Y/N) don't try to trick him." Amy came back, "It's okay now and then but not too much, you could ruin your body with all that sugar, and the child's health as well."

(Y/N) huffed, "Yeah yeah... Okay."

"But here, have two for now." The pink hedgehog smiled and handed her two.

She smiled back and nibbled on them, before she felt something bump her stomach. She looked down, tilting her head, before there was another bump.

"I think the baby is kicking."

"It is?" Knuckles tilted his head, "Where?"

"Around here..."

He nodded and rested his giant hand on her stomach, "Heh... It is..."

"Ohh can I have a feel?" The pink hedgehog asked.

"After Knuckles, yes. Assuming it doesn't stop kicking."

"How much does it normally kick?"

"A lot actually..."

"Oh, it's gonna be a real fighter."

"Just like me." Knuckles smiled proudly. The (a/t) smiled as well, leaning into his side. She was glad that Knuckle's opinion on having a kid changed, he seemed more excited now and ever when talking about it.

Especially when it seemed like it was taking after him.

Mainly with the kicking.

"Oh, I can't wait to see it!" Amy said, "It will be the cutest little troublemaker."

"I don't think it will be a troublemaker."

"If it takes after it's dad it will be."

"True..."

"Hey!"

The two girls laughed, before drinking their tea again.

"That wouldn't be so bad..."
