Sonic was holding a shopping basket, he had gotten the message from Silver about the Specialist coming over today, to have some one on one time with Raven. The blue hedgehog looked over at the chipmunk who was looking at all the clothes, she had already chosen two...sets of clothes, a light purple hoodie, with a black t-shirt over it, with a white bunny printed onto the shirt, and a light purple and black plaid skirt, with black shorts underneath, and a Spider-Gwen t-shirt and some jeans. The small chipmunk stopped at in her tracks when they reached the boy section.

"I-Is something w-wrong?" Sonic asked.

"M-Mommy said girls aren't allowed to w-wear boy clothes..." Raven said.

Sonic shook his head as he took her hand "W-Well I s-say you can wear w-whatever y-you want to" he said as he leads her into the isle, Raven's eyes kind of lit up with a the cools that the males get to wear...it was kind of unfair if you think about it...Sonic let go of Raven hand to let her pick out some more clothes.

Raven picked out a black long-sleeved t-shirt, with pokeball printed onto it and some jean shorts, a normal yellow t-shirt, with some jean overalls, that had a dinosaur printed onto the front pocket, and a dinosaur theme pajama set.

"Is t-that all you want?" Sonic asked he looked at the tags of the clothes the prices were rather cheap, something that he wasn't expecting, but shrugs it off as long as Raven is happy he didn't mind.

"Mhm" Raven nodded, as she took Sonic's hand again.

"Y-you really like d-dinosaurs?" Sonic asked as he lead her out of the isle.

"They are cool...and Big, Mommy said I should only like Dollies, and Doll houses, jewelwy, and shiny things" Raven mutters as she didn't really like that stuff, that didn't really interest her at all, she always saw herself as one of the boys, not some princess.

"Well, I-I'm not like that, n-now let's get you y-your own c-car seat" Sonic smiled as he took the chipmunk to that isle, hearing all that kind of reminded him how Sally was kind of like that, when they first met, but now...he could only blame her parents influence for corrupting her mind.

Raven wasn't that picky, she picked out a black and purple car-seat, with purple pads on the belt to help make it comfortable. After everything was bought and the store employee helped get the car-seat into the car so that it can be seat up later, Sonic helped Raven into Shaundre's car seats, and watched her buckle herself into the seat, after being shown how to do it the first time, Sonic praises her before putting on his seatbelt, driving out of the parking lot.

Back at Home, Scourge was taking a break from the building the twin bed, much like Shaundre's bed spread, who had a Superman theme, Raven picked out a Spider-Gwen theme bed spread. His ear tilted upwards when he heard a knock at the door, he had gotten a text from Sonic about the specialist coming today, but he didn't expect it to be this early.

"I'll ge-"

"Hold on Shaundre...I'll get it, but I appreciate the help" Scourge said as he put Starfire down to play in her playpen, the hoglet only whimpered not wanting to be alone yet. Shaundre heard the whimper and goes over to her to keep her company. "It's okay...Bubba is here" he said, which made Starfire purr, and giggle.

"Hello" Scourge greeted when he opened the door.

A female hot pink wolf, with a white muzzle that has freckles, bangs and long straight hair that curl outwards at the end, wearing yellow short-sleeved t-shirt, with jean shorts, white socks with yellow sneakers, in her arms in a clipboard that was blank, compared to Scourge she was very short, only up to his chest. This is Scarlet Ruby Wolf, or Ms. Wolf. "Yes Hello you, I have been told that you are Ms. Raven's Temporary Guardian?"

"I am one of them yes, the Names Scourge Hedgehog ma'am" Scourge said as he lets her inside. Walking inside she took a look around to see that house is rather nicely kept, with a gated stairwell, that lead upstairs, a gated up playroom, that is in view of the both the kitchen, and living room, with a small child like table, in the room, with play mats, two separate shelves that is filled with different kind of toys, what caught her eyes was Shaundre and Starfire, which explained the child proof stuff. But the six year old hoglet looked nothing like Scourge.

"And who might you be?" Scarlet asked calmly to Shaundre.

"I'm Shadic...Ms, and this is my sissy Starfire~" Shaundre smiled.

"Bubba~" Starfire purred.

Scarlet only smiled back as she lets out a small giggle, how well the two were getting long, despite them coming from different parents. She stood up and turned her attention to Scourge.

"So is Shadic here adopted? Or?" Scarlet asked.

"My husband's son, from an abusive relationship, six years ago...it's kind of a rough story" Scourge explained. "But he's my kid none of less"

"Well I'd like to hear that story...but that is up to your husband to share" Scarlet stated as she rubs Starfire's chin making the hoglet purr.

It was a little while before Sonic opened the door with the bags of clothes in his hands, Raven was right behind him.

"Welcome home Mommy!" Shaundre smiled.

"H-Hey Shaundre" Sonic smiled as he sets the bags over the steps, as a reminder to take them upstairs.

"Hello, You must be Sonic" Scarlet said with a smile on her face.

"T-that's me...and you are?"

"I'm Scarlet Wolf, Social Services Representative...I'm only here to have some alone time with Ms. Raven here" Scarlet said.

"Oh of c-course, I uh took her out for clothes s-shopping and t-to her a car-s-seat" Sonic stammers.

"I see, Well this will only be for a moment, mind if I use your play room for a more comfortable setting?"

Sonic shook his head, "N-Not at all"

Scarlet smiled and knelt down to Raven's level, "Well, Raven I am Scarlet, and I'll be hanging out with you today...and it's okay to be shy, I'm only here to help you"

Raven nodded as she followed the wolf from behind to the playroom to start.

Sonic tilted his ears back, as he was kind of worried that she would probably take Shaundre away from him...cause of his mental health, he clenches at his chest. Before he he felt a pair of arms wrapped around him. "Ssh Babe...I'm right here, and she asked about Shaundre, and I didn't tell her your story"

Sonic sniffs before burying his face into Scourge, "T-Thank y-you..." He whimpered. "W-where is h-he?"

"Upstairs...I told him that if Starfire started crying or whimpering come and get me, just thought it be easier of Ms. Wolf and Raven" Scourge said.

Sonic only started to tremble slightly, mostly because of Ms. Wolf being here was just bringing back memories...that he didn't want to remember.

"Babe if your scared just hug me back...You know I'm not gonna let anything happen you or the kids"

Sonic hugs him back, he started to calm down a little, he just started to purr softly taking up his husband's warmth. "Better, Blue?"

"Mhm~ L-Love you~" Sonic admits

"Love you too, Gorgeous" Scourge tells him back, planting a kiss onto Sonic's forehead.
