The doors to the huge mobian hospital slide open, walking inside, is a male black hedgehog, with red stripes on his quills, arms and legs, a dark tan muzzle, white patch of fur on his chest, wearing a white t-shirt, with a white lab coat, and black pants golden inhibitor rings on his wrists and ankles, black, red, and yellow air shoes.

A young albino hedgehog, with a pale muzzle and a white fluffy patch of fur on his chest that wraps around his neck, unique quills, and wearing a light blue t-shirt with jean overalls, in his arms was a teddy bear with a red bowtie. Holding his hand is a female pink hedgehog, with long straight quills and side quills, with bangs, a light peach muzzle, underbelly and arms, wearing a light blue modern nurse uniform at her hip is a large bag, golden bracelets on her wrists.

"Good Morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog" The Female pregnant Rabbit greeted with a smile, she was wearing a nurse uniform that had been adjusted so that it wasn't very tight around her five month baby bump.

"Yes Morning" The older male greeted, as he took a hold of the clipboard to see which patients had been awaiting his arrival, looking over the list one stood out to him, a young three year old that had been commented to the hospital not that long ago just last night.

"What's their condition, Vanilla?" The male asked the rabbit.

"I wasn't here when they arrive, that's something you should ask Jennifer about, all I know is that their parents just left them here and hadn't come back" Vanilla responded.

The male only nodded as he started walking away from the area, the female following shortly behind him.

"Shadow what did you see on that clipboard?" The female asked when they were in the elevator to reach the floor, she held her son close to her.

"A young hedgehog...only two years younger than Silver, I want to see them first before I move on to the other patients" Shadow responded, he looked over at his wife who had a shocked and concerned expression on her muzzle.

When they arrived to their floor when there were many different humans, and modians walking around tending to the many patients, mostly the older ones further down the hallway was filled with a lot of colors and different animals it was the more children side of the hospital on the floor.

"Amy can take Silver to the office"

"Already on it, Hon just give me the details on that patient, okay" Amy said as she leans up to give Shadow a kiss on the cheek.

"Well do"

"Come on Silver, I'm sure the nurses brought Muffins" Amy called out to her son, who only smiled "I like Muffins~" Silver purred as he followed behind his mother.

The female purple echidna, with faded pink tips of her hair, and wearing a doctor uniform.

"Jennifer?"

"Hmm?" Jennifer lifted her head to see Shadow standing in front of her desk. "Oh Dr. Shadow, can I help you with something?"

"Yes...that hedgehog, you committed, do you have paperwork on them?" Shadow asked.

Jennifer got up from her seat from her desk and walked over to Shadow, she didn't much paperwork on the patient in questioning, all she got was their age, height, weight, and species throughout the examination the hedgehog passed out halfway through...struggling with breathing and coughing.

"What about the parents?" Shadow asked as he was looking at the documents

"They only had a mother...she isn't any older than eighteen"

"Tsk...explains why they are here, Teenagers need to understand that condoms can actually safe a life"

Shadow opened the door to the room, where patient was laying on the hospital bed.

The small blue hedgehog, had a pale muzzle, underbelly, arms...with bags underneath his eyes from the lack of sleep he was getting cause of his condition a bit of blood around his muzzle and hands from him just coughing up blood, his room was empty as if he hadn't been visited in days, the three year old is wearing a hospital gown.

Shadow was rather gentle with the young Patient, with the blue hedgehog being as young as it was he didn't really know how to speak yet...which was mostly the fault in the mother, not that it was probably since the nurses in the hospital can teach the hedgehog everything he needed.

"Did she give him a name at least" Shadow asked Jennifer.

"I don't think so...after I told her that he was gonna have to stay over night she looked rather over joyed"

Shadow ran his finger over the hedgehog's head who only weakly purred before coughing cause his weak throat and lungs. "Call him Sonic, Sonic Maurice Hedgehog"

Jennifer only nodded and started to fill out the documents.

❤︎ ❤︎ Modern Day ❤︎ ❤︎

Sonic was sitting up in his hospital bed, wearing a baggy gray and brown sweater, a wheelchair resting beside his bed, that had a black pillow on the seat for his back, as well as a Pikachu fluffy backpack attached to the back by the handles, on the little table in next to him was a stack of books, that ranged from fiction, history, science, and comic books. He is now thirteen years old...and he hadn't really left the hospital since...his body just couldn't handle being outside, as he got older the weaker he got, and more his immune system started to fail on him.

As for the wheelchair, and the crutches, well by the age of ten he couldn't feel his legs anymore he had become paralyzed from the waste down.

The door opened to his room, and he lifted his head up to see his only friend in this place, Silver.

Silver was wearing a backpack, the fifteen year old had his quills tied back into downwards ponytail three of his quills were pulled back into a slick back motion, with two of his quills pulled down to his sides, wearing a dark teal jacket, with a light teal t-shirt and black pants.

Over the years, both him and Sonic had gotten rather close, mostly because they were a year apart, from each other, Silver was always energetic and got along with a lot of the patients even the older ones, and Sonic being the only kid patient that couldn't do anything like other kids could Silver kind of latched onto him.

Though Sonic couldn't talk, mostly do to his damaged throat that was a side effect from his birth mother smoking while she was pregnant, same with his weak lungs, he was in a home that where smoking was a regular occurrence. It was kind of a miracle that he's alive today.
