Can I Love Again? Ult. Gift P8

2 Years Later

It’s hard to believe it has been 2 years since I told Amy how much I cared for her. During that time our relationship and feelings for each other blossomed. Each day with her brought an even greater feeling of wanting to be with her for the rest of my life. The times I have spent with her have made me feel incredibly blissful. Anyways tomorrow Amy was going to turn 18 so I thought I would give her the best gift I could possibly get to her. I ran to the post office hoping that her present I ordered for her was in there yet.

Sonic: Hey Ashtin!

Ashtin: Hey Sonic! Let me guess you are hoping that your package is here yet.

Sonic: Of course.

Ashtin: Let me check.

In a flash the purple hedgehog bolted into the mail room and a split second later he appeared holding a small package wrapped around with brown paper.

Ashtin: Looks like it’s here.

Sonic: Great timing too.

I took the package and excitedly bolted out the door however I was so oblivious to my surroundings I accidentally ran right into a light post. I was dazed for a moment and suddenly from the violent shaking of the light post the light bulb jarred lose and slammed right on to my head and then I blacked out. When I woke up I realized that my forehead was wrapped in bandages and I felt a bit groggy. I looked at my surroundings and I realized I was in a hospital bed. Suddenly the double doors opened and revealed a raccoon that was in a doctor’s uniform and had a card that read “Doctor Swalter”.

Doctor Swalter: It is good to see you awake, Sonic.

Sonic: What happened?

Swalter: You received a minor concussion from running into a light post which I must say was pretty stupid of you.

Sonic: I was not looking where I was going.

Swalter: Well to make sure you will be alright you will stay here until first thing in the morning for your safety.

Tomorrow that means I won’t be able to go on my date with Amy tonight! Wait Amy probably works here! This might turn into a good thing! Yeah and to see her gift at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow morning will be extremely romantic.

Sonic: Say doctor can I ask you something?

Swalter: Yes.

Sonic: Will I need a nurse in here the whole time?

Swalter: It would be for the best.

Sonic: Then can I request a nurse?

Swalter: It depends on who you ask for.

Sonic: Can I have Amy Rose be assigned in here with me?

Swalter: Why may I ask?

Sonic: I am her boyfriend and we sort of had a date planned out later and well can you come here for a moment?

Doctor Swalter walked beside me and I instantly whispered some words into his ear and he grinned by what I told him.

Swalter: Yes, well I think I can pull some strings so the two of you can be together. Besides Amy is a great nurse that in my opinion needs a chance to serve a patient by herself. It only fits that person would be her boyfriend that she talks about all the time here during her breaks. You are a lucky lad to have her as a girlfriend.

Sonic: I know.

Doctor Swalter then left through the white double doors and a few minutes later Amy barged into the room with her nurse uniform on and with a concerned look on her face.

Amy: Sonic why did you do that?

Sonic: Do what?

Amy: Run into a light post. I have never heard of you doing anything like that before.

Sonic: Well I was at the post office and I got your present for your birthday and I was so excited about seeing your face when you open it I accidently did not look at where I was going and then bam!

Amy’s face instantly turned from concerned to happy in an instant.

Amy: Oh you shouldn’t have.

Sonic: I had to it will be your birthday tomorrow and you’re so special to me that I had to.

Amy: Ironic though that I finally get assigned a guest by myself and I end up with you.

Sonic: Well I asked Doctor Swalter about assigning you here since we will miss our date so might as well make do with what we have got huh?

Amy: That is so sweet of you. I get to spend time with you while on duty it is too good to be true.

Sonic: Doesn’t this remind you of the last time I got hurt and you cared for me? And remember how everything turned out in the end? I still can’t get the image of us kissing like we did and sleeping together like that.

Amy now started to blush madly as I couldn’t help but smile at this. She was always so sweet when she blushed like that.

Amy: Yes I guess it does.

Sonic: So do you think we could call this a date?

Amy: I guess so. A work date.

So we started talking to each other for a couple of hours pausing only by eating our meals and laughing at the other’s jokes. It had been quite sometime since we ever did that. Then we started teasing each other and exchange kisses. We even made out once or twice. Then I noticed the time. It was 11:59 p.m.

Amy: Well I guess we better get some sleep.

Sonic: Wait before we do I have something to give you.

Amy: What?

Sonic: Your gift of course.

I held out the package and I smiled at her.

Sonic: Sorry I did not have time to wrap it all up.

Amy: Sonic the greatest gift you can give me is your love.

Then the clock chimed 12 a.m. and I could not help but smile.

Sonic: Does this remind you of the last time we stayed up together this long?

Amy: I always will remember it.

Sonic: Well listen this is going to be a little difficult for me to do without kneeling so bear with me for a moment.

Amy: Sonic what are you talking about?

Sonic: Amy let me finish. Listen we have been together for quite sometime now and to tell you the truth being with you is the best feeling I can ever have in my life. To tell you the truth I have always secretly loved you since I first met you but of course my stupid promise made me keep it a secret. Then that day 2 years ago you changed my life into a better way. I could finally tell you the truth about how I care for you and love you. You saved me from possibly the stupidest mistake I could have made in my life. To run away from you.

Amy: Sonic you are too modest.

Sonic: But Amy now I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Every waking moment that I am away from you feels like a million needles are stabbing at my heart. For you see my heart belongs to you Amy.

Amy: And mine belongs to you Sonikku.

Sonic: I cannot stand being away from you even a split second. I just love you so very much Amy. You are the light in my heart that gives me warmth when I am down. You never gave up on me. So without further ado.

I pulled the brown wrappings off of Amy’s gift to reveal a small blue ring box. Amy stared at it and her jaw dropped to the floor at disbelief at what I was about to say.

Sonic: Amy Rose.

I flipped the box open to reveal a shining gold ring with a small white diamond sparkling like the northern star.

Sonic: Will you marry me?

There I did it. After so many years I asked her. I felt a mixture of relief that I finally asked yet my stomach tightened anticipating her response. Her eyes were now were wide with utter disbelief which I completely expected. There had to have been at least 5 minutes of silence until I finally ended it.

Sonic: Amy I need an answer.

Amy: I…I…I… Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming. Tell me I am dreaming Sonic.

Sonic: No Amy this is real. I truly mean it. Every word I said was

Amy: I can’t believe it.

Amy started to weep. I started to feel bad. Maybe she would say no. I was about to give up hope when she leaped on the bed right on top of me.

Amy: OF COURSE I WILL MARRY YOU SONIKKU!!!

Amy then wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged with all of her might as I gasped for air. If I would have known that she could hug this hard I would have warned the paramedics before I asked her.

Sonic: A...M…Y…I…ca…n’t…bre…athe.

Finally Amy lightened her hug a little as I gasped to catch my breath.

Amy: I am sorry Sonic.

Sonic: It is okay Amy. I should have known you would be this happy.

Amy: So when is our wedding going to be?

Sonic: I would say 4 months.

Amy: Yeah 4 months is plenty of time. Still we should start planning right?

Sonic: Nah lets enjoy this moment first.

Amy then released me and I place her ring on her ring finger and she smiled.

Sonic: Happy birthday Amy.

Amy: This is defiantly the best birthday I will ever have.

Sonic: And it just started too.

I then wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her close to my body as Amy did the same to me. Then we kissed with so much passion you would think that it was illegal. I finally had found the one person I truly loved and now I would spend the rest of my life with her. I would give anything to make her happy as she would probably do the same for me. Right now all I want to think about is her. After a while we fell asleep as I held Amy tightly close to me as she snuggled against me. I think I can get used to slowing down a little bit.
