Chapter Text
The rest of the hospital stay was quite pleasant. Sonic had to stay a few days due to a few complications from the impromptu home birth- but their daughter, Lavender, was very healthy and lively- even if she looked like she wanted to kill everyone who looked at her. Sonic and Shadow didn’t talk much more about their new relationship, though, and instead focused on their baby outside of a few kisses here and there.
Their friends came to visit the day after she was born.
Sonic was in bed, and Lavender was in her cot while Shadow released the floodgates of Knuckles, Rouge, Tails, and Amy.
“Sonic! You’re okay! Shadow told us about when you went into labor,” Amy cried out as she ran over and hugged Sonic. He nodded and smiled, hugging her back. “Yeah- I’m fine. Kinda hurts to pee, though. And uh, move sometimes.” He laughed nervously. He didn’t have terrible complications once they got past the post-partum hemorrhage, but he definitely hurt like hell from the waist down.
Rouge walked over to the cot where the hoglet lay. Lavender was asleep right now. “She’s so cute! A perfect mix of her parents.” She chuckled. Tails walked up and turned his head to the side as he saw the baby. “She’s so… bald and wrinkly.” He commented.
Amy had pulled out of her hug with Sonic and walked over to the baby as well. “All hoglets look like that, Tails. She actually has a lot of hair for one,” she explained. Knuckles nodded in agreement. “Puggles are the same. I was completely bald as a baby.” He added. “Give her like two months, and her quills will start to really grow in and harden.”
“It's so odd. Her quills almost feel like fur…” Shadow commented as he walked over. He picked his daughter up and smoothed down the back of her head. “I’ve never seen a baby hoglet until her. I was never a baby myself- I was incubated until I was the size of a toddler.” He explained. He looked around at everyone, who was clearly eying the baby.
Sonic smiled at them all. “Who wants to hold her first?” He asked. Then there was some arguing between Rouge and Amy before Shadow eventually gave her to Rouge first. She was still fast asleep and bundled up in a pink blanket.
“Did you guys decide on a name yet?” Rouge asked as she poked her nose with her finger. Her nose was absolutely tiny. “Lavender- considering that I gave birth to her in the lavender field behind our house. And her coat color- it's faint but clearly purple.” Sonic explained. “I love it!” Amy cooed.
Lavender began to wriggle around a little. She sniffed and pressed her face against Rouge’s chest, but quickly realized that this was not her mother and there was no milk here for her. She whined as her eyes fluttered open.
“Green eyes, just like yours, Sonic!” Rouge exclaimed, but her excitement died quickly when Lavender began to wail. “Shhh, shhh-” He tried to soothe. Sonic groaned slightly- he knew already that she was crying for his boobs.
“Give her here- she’s just hungry,” Sonic said, holding his arms out. Rouge walked over to him and handed the hoglet over. She calmed for a moment when she finally smelled mom, but cried harder when a nipple wasn’t immediately shoved into her mouth.
Sonic looked up at everyone. He wasn’t in the mood to flash his friends.
“We’ll come back later. We could run out and get chili dogs for everyone?” Amy offered. Sonic nodded. “I would love that,” he chuckled. Everyone left after that, and Sonic, Shadow, and their daughter were left alone.
Sonic has felt… a tad self-conscious about his chest. Before, it was smooth and not very large- but now, he had two proper breasts that were separate and obvious. He had been hiding it in his later months of pregnancy with thick sweaters- and now he had a pink robe on… mostly for easy access so his daughter could eat whenever.
He pulled open his robe to reveal one of his breasts and held his daughter’s face to it. She quickly latched on and began suckling away. Shadow sat on the bed with him, arm around his shoulder, chin resting on the top of his head as he watched his daughter closely.
“I can’t believe I have to do this every two hours. I’m gonna start pumping as soon as we get home… that way you can feed her sometimes.” Sonic chuckled. “Mhm…” Shadow responded.
Sonic glanced up at Shadow. The ebony hedgehog quickly averted his gaze.
Is… he staring at his tits?
Huh.
…
Sonic felt uneasy once they got home. At the hospital, they changed her diaper, bathed her, and showed him how to feed her- they had a guide while they adjusted to parenthood. But now? They’re on their own.
But they figured it out. Both of them were up multiple times every night- Shadow didn’t really need sleep, so he always went to do the late-night diaper changes, but if she was hungry? She only wanted Mom. If they tried a bottle, she would scream and cry until she was in her mother’s arms again. The lack of sleep was hitting Sonic hard- he would doze off while still feeding her. Shadow wished he could help, but there really wasn’t much that could be done.
After two weeks, though, things slowly got better. Shadow dropped Sonic off at the OBGYN before he took Lavender to her doctor’s appointment.
Sonic sat with his legs up and a blanket over them while the doctor inspected him.
“Everything appears to be healing nicely. It’ll all be back in working order soon enough.” She said as she pulled away. Sonic nodded. “Good… uh…” He trailed off.
He and Shadow were slowly working on their relationship. Getting closer and closer, kissing more often- but in reality, it was kinda like during his pregnancy, except with more words of affection rather than cuddles and kind gestures from Shadow. But… What would be the next steps? It made him curious.
“When can I resume, uh, sexual activity?” He asked. The doctor was pulling her gloves off and washing her hands as he asked. She turned back to face him. “I would say a bare minimum of four weeks, but preferably six. It's also based on your comfort level.” She explained. Sonic just nodded… he never really had sexual desires before- not that he didn’t touch himself or ever fantasize about things- but it really wasn’t a high priority. When Shadow got him pregnant that night, he also lost his virginity.
But… he wasn’t necessarily horny, but curious to experiment with Shadow, to explore each other’s bodies… but was Shadow interested? He’d have to find out.
After his appointment, Shadow picked him up. He still wasn’t cleared to run- otherwise, he would just go home himself.
“Doctors say she’s healthy as can be. She likely inherited some black arms DNA, which helps.” Shadow explained. Sonic smiled at him. “That’s good.” He hummed. He glanced back at his daughter, who was in her car seat. When she saw her mom’s face through the little mirror in front of her, she whined and reached out.
Sonic sighed and leaned back. “She definitely is hungry. I think lunch and a nap are in order when we get home.”
And so, once they got home, Sonic sat at the kitchen table and fed herself while Shadow prepared them sandwiches and sliced fruit for lunch. He walked over and set a plate in front of Sonic, clearly staring at Sonic’s chest as he popped an apple slice into his own mouth.
Sonic reached and grabbed half of his sandwich and took a bite. He felt a few… butterflies in his stomach, at Shadow watching him. They both ate in silence… until Lavender made a little noise and kicked slightly- not harshly, but she kicked just right to push open the other side of Sonic’s robe- revealing his other breast.
He paused… but- he didn’t cover himself. It’s not like Shadow hasn’t seen them before- but his breasts were larger and his nipples now obvious- they used to hide beneath his fur, but they were always ripe and red- especially after his daughter ate.
There was silence once again, before Shadow cleared his throat and stood up.
“I’m going to go do some laundry while you finish up.” He said as he grabbed his plate and brought it over to the sink. Sonic didn’t get to say anything before he left the room. He just shrugged slightly and looked back down at his daughter.
She finished up soon after, burped, and promptly passed out. Sonic just chuckled and took her to her nursery and settled her into her crib. She didn’t like being left the first week, but once she was fully passed out, Sonic could safely leave her for a while while she slept.
He glanced over at where her hamper usually was- it was gone, but it looked like her onesie, the one with the teddy bear on, was left behind. He picked it up and walked it downstairs to the laundry room, hoping he could add it in quickly if Shadow hadn’t started the load yet.
Except when he opened the door, he was more than shocked.
Shadow stood there, full erection in his hand, and his other hand covering his mouth as he softly grunted. When the door opened, both of their eyes widened, and they averted their gazes away from one another.
There was a long moment of silence between the two before Shadow finally mumbled, "Sorry… let me- uh,” Sonic panicked a little. “Wait! It’s okay, I uh…” He trailed off, his face red at this point. “I… wanna help.” He looked over at Shadow, who looked shocked. “Help? But- you’re only two weeks post partum, there is no way I’m gonna- do that with you right now.”
“We can’t have sex, the doctor said not for a while, and I’m still too scared to look down there myself, let alone you- but that’s not what I meant. I want to uh- help you in other ways.” Sonic explained. Shadow looked unsure. “I don’t know… are you really ready for that? And- I don’t want you to feel pressured to do that with me.”
“I’ve seen the way you stare at my boobs… and I… can tell you want sexual pleasure with me- and I want to give you that. Let me at least help you right now- our daughter is currently in a milk coma, so we have at least an hour.” Sonic offered. Shadow contemplated for a long moment before sighing. “Okay. Fine.” He answered.
They left the laundry room, and Shadow sat down on the couch. Sonic kneeled in front of him, the erection now in his face. He didn’t really remember the night they fucked over nine months ago- so this was an unfamiliar sight.
“You really don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can stop whenever you want.” Shadow explained. Sonic nodded as he grasped Shadow’s cock- he wasn’t actually sure what he was gonna do with it, he just wanted to make sure his partner felt very good.
“I want to- just- relax and let me do my thing.” Sonic urged as he began to move his hands up and down. He quickly realized there was a lot of resistance due to no lubrication, so instead he leaned in and licked the entire shaft before spitting on the tip.
Shadow felt so unsure watching all of this happen. It felt wrong, but right? They were dating, sorta. They didn’t use labels and sorta didn’t tell their friends yet… but they had already agreed that they’re romantically together, not just together for their daughter. But they hadn’t talked about doing anything sexual yet- he knew Sonic didn’t remember the night they spent together nine months ago, and Shadow only remembered it vaguely. He could tell Sonic didn’t really know what he was doing, though, based on his expression and uncertainty in his movements. And… It was really cute.
Sonic leaned in and pressed a few gentle kisses to the tip before opening his mouth and letting it sit on his tongue. This was a weird flavor- like if he were to taste what cologne smelled like. Musky…
He licked the tip for a good while to get it lubricated so there wouldn’t be resistance as he went down on him. After that, he began to move his head up and down- he only went down until his mouth filled with Shadow’s cock. He was only able to fit about half of it… he wished he could go all the way, but he wasn’t ready to try deep throating.
Shadow gently placed his hand on top of Sonic’s head, rubbing behind his ear as he let out a little grunt. It felt weird being inside somewhere so warm and damp- he only had once, and for the last 9 months, if he ever got horny, he had to deal with it himself. He didn’t really feel that way most of the time- but… when he saw Sonic’s breasts and how large they were, he couldn’t help himself. He considered himself a gay man- but he definitely had a thing for tits. Maybe just Sonic’s tits, though- he didn’t look at women like Rouge and get turned on.
Sonic continued doing this for a bit. He could feel Shadow’s cock getting harder- and he heard little runts and sighs. But… he wanted to do something further, to really push his partner to the edge. He couldn’t use his pussy, but he had an idea…
Sonic pulled off, a string of saliva connecting his mouth to the cock. Shadow looked a tad confused, watching to see what Sonic did next.
Sonic pulled open his robe, revealing his breasts. His nipple was still red and swollen from his daughter’s lunch. He stood up. “She prefers my right breast, and it can be… annoying. Look how swollen the left one is,” Sonic said, motioning towards his breast, which was clearly larger than the other.
Shadow nodded, still looking confused. Sonic sat down beside him. “Come here, help me out- try some. Your daughter apparently thinks it tastes very good.” Sonic hummed. Shadow looked unsure for a moment before he repositioned so he lay down with his head in Sonic’s lap.
Sonic held him up to his breast, and Shadow hesitated before allowing it into his mouth. He began to suck on it- a very different feeling from breastfeeding his daughter. There were teeth and a much stronger force.
“Ahhh, that feels much better.” Sonic sighed. He let Shadow drink for a moment before he reached for Shadow’s cock, wrapping his hand around it and beginning to pump up and down. He heard Shadow groan as he did this. He knew this was much more interesting than a blow job.
This went on for a long while- he could tell Shadow was getting close. When he pulled off his nipple to catch his breath, Sonic let go of his cock. “Did you get your fill?” Sonic asked. Shadow nodded before sitting up. Now to finish him off…
Sonic stood up and returned to his kneeling position in front of Shadow. He didn’t take his cock into his mouth or hands this time; instead… he leaned closer so that his erection sat between his breasts. He squeezed them together so they surrounded it, and he began to move himself up and down.
Shadow looked surprised, but groaned in response. “Fuck, Sonic, just like that… you’re so fucking hot,” He groaned, placing his hand on the back of Sonic’s head again. Sonic grinned at Shadow. “You love my tits, maybe more than Lavender.” He laughed.
“I do, I fucking do…” Shadow mumbled. He used his other hand to cover his mouth- he was getting close. The grunting continued and got louder until he cried out, “Fuck- Sonic!” As he came, splattering cum all over Sonic’s tits and face.
Sonic stopped moving and let the load cover him. It was warm and sticky… Once Shadow’s orgasm finished, he pulled away. He picked some of it up with his finger and tasted it- very salty. Not bad, though.
“Thanks…” Shadow mumbled under his breath, panting slightly. Sonic stood up and leaned in, kissing Shadow’s cheek for a long moment. “Of course, I’ll help you anytime you want, never be afraid to ask… even if you can’t pleasure me for a while.” Sonic hummed before standing up. He crossed his arms under his chest.
“We need to call Rouge and ask her to babysit a month from today,” Sonic said. Shadow turned his head to the side slightly. Sonic smirked. “We’re gonna do date night and you’re gonna fuck the life of me.”
