Sapphire's POV 💙

As I was heading upstairs and over to Sonic's room, I suddenly stopped, immediately noticing that something feels completely off and really...really...wrong.

It's strangely quiet...

Way too quiet.

Usually when I head upstairs and over to Sonic's room, I would at least hear the sound of his footsteps when he's walking around.

Or if he was lying on the bed or something, I would hear the sound of the blankets and the movement of his body.

But, I know something's wrong if it's too quiet.

It's in my instinct.

"Sonic? Is everything okay?" I asked after knocking on the door.

I didn't get anything as a response.

Nothing.

Not even a single groan.

I began to feel really scared and worried about him as I turned the doorknob before realizing that the door was unlocked the whole entire time.

"Sonic?" I went before I suddenly gasped in shock and out of horror.

Sonic was found lying on the bed, seemingly to be unconscious, as he was slumped over like as if he was about to fall off the bed.

"Oh my chaos! Sonic, what happened?!?!" I asked him worriedly as I hurried over to him before pulling him close to my chest.

Again, I didn't get a response.

The only thing I heard was when he exhaled.

Panic-stricken, I laid him on his back before checking him over.

The first thing I noticed was that he looked violently sick and his face was really pale.

Until I checked for a heartbeat.

I got nothing, making me freak out more, before shoving my ear deeper into his chest.

After a few seconds, I gotten a pulse.

Just barely.

I rested my hand on his forehead to see if he was running a fever before I had to confirm what was going on.

His forehead felt extremely hot.

Tears threatened to fall from the sides of my face before I sniffed a little and kissed Sonic on the forehead.

"Hang in there for me, Sonic...I'll call the ambulance and keep you alive as much as I can until they arrive and get you to the hospital." I say as I looked at him.

Then I headed downstairs to get an ice pack to put on Sonic's forehead so I can try to lower his fever down.

After I returned and setted the ice pack down on Sonic's forehead, I pulled out my phone and was about to contact the hospital until I noticed Sonic move a little.

"Sonic?" I went as I turned to look at him.

All he did was groan before sitting up and holding his forehead, seemingly to be in pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly as I sat down at the foot of the bed.

Sonic only shook his head in response before clutching it in pain.

"I-It hurts..." He whimpered, his voice sounding a bit weird.

"What hurts? Your forehead?"

Then Sonic looked at me before nodding his head in response to my question.

"Where's Chip?" He asked.

"He's in the nursery..." I answered before I got up and left to go get him.

Sonic smiled a little when I came back in the bedroom with Chip in my arms before reaching out and taking him into his arms.

I smiled a bit too as I got on the bed and sat next to Sonic as I placed my arm around his shoulders, resting my head against his, as we looked at Chip.

"I love it when he smiles. It's just so adorable. Somehow, for some strange reason though, I feel so warm and comforted when he smiles.

But, when I look at him in the eyes, I feel like I'm being healed up and put at ease on the inside." Sonic mentions.

I chuckled a little bit.
