2: Cream Asks Sonic

It was around five in the afternoon by the time Sonic came home from wherever he had been earlier in the day. The blue hedgehog was still getting used to having a set place he was supposed to return to during the day to live like this, but the beds were more comfortable than his sleeping bags that’s for sure. Sonic had already made it upstairs and was now sitting on his and Tails’ bunk-bed taking his shoes off now.

Cream saw Sonic go into his bedroom. She remembered what Tails had said earlier about underwear and the bathroom. He didn’t know the reasons why big kids use the toilet and kept saying that Sonic taught him that stuff. She poked her head in. She saw Sonic on the lower bunk.

Sonic didn’t notice her over at the door as he pulled his t-shirt off and tossed it onto the floor now that he was home. He was still wearing his tan colored shorts and socks, but Sonic didn’t really like wearing the shirts he was given to wear in the mornings. They were always tricky to get on and off due to his spines; the shorts were okay though.

Cream crawled into Sonic’s bedroom on her hands and knees. He didn’t seem to notice her at first, but within a few seconds, she was at the foot of the bed. She grabbed onto the mattress and tried to use it to climb back onto her feet. Now her eyes  were fixed on her big brother.

Sonic didn’t see her at first, but once she got over to the bed and is tugging on it to try and get up again, he can feel the bed moving and does turn and see her there. “Oh hey kiddo. Whats up?” asks Sonic curiously when he sees Cream and hadn’t heard her come into the room at all.

Cream climbed up into Sonic’s bunk and crawled up next to her brother. “Sonic,” she said “I asked Tails something earlier and he couldn’t answer it.” She blushed a little; she didn’t know what he’d say in response. After a bit of hesitation, she finally got it out: “Why do big kids pee-pee in that big white toy in the bathroom?”

Sonic, unlike Tails, was a bit more shocked at this question and blushed a bit as he scratches his head somewhat. “Oh uh, heh heh, what makes you ask that Cream?’ he asks her.

"I never seen you or Mommy or Amy or Tails get your diapies changed,” she explained. “I even saw you and him wearing this stuff under your pants that kinda looks like them, but they don’t look like they can hold any if you pee-pee in them. Tails said you aren’t supposed to and I wondered why you couldn’t get a better diapie in case you really needed to go potty." 

Sonic could sort of understand why she may be asking these questions, since she was still in diapers at her age. She was more aware of things like this now after all. Sonic listened to it all, though he wondered if he could answer things like this properly. "Well, we wear underpants instead of diapers since its what the older kids are supposed to do. It’s what I was told when I was little, so it’s what I do.” says Sonic wondering if that answered anything at all.

“But why?” Cream asked. “What if you don’t make it?” She could understand a little bit if somebody actually WANTED to use the “toy”, but she kept thinking about what would happen if somebody went in their pants. She was still hoping Sonic could clear all this up, but so far it didn’t seem to be going in that direction.

“Well, most of the time we try and not get into a situation where we won’t make it. It really isn’t an issue with me, but I can see where you are going with that. Yes, if they didn’t make it, they won’t hold, but that’s to try and encourage you to be more aware of it and to not put it off if possible. That’s at least what I was told when I was younger.” he mentions wondering if this was more clear this time.

“It just seems… I don’t know… weird,” said Cream “I can’t imagine not going potty without a diapie.” It may not have been weird for Mommy, Amy, or her brothers. Having worn and used diapers for all of her six years, Cream was just learning about this new concept. 

“It just takes time really. When you’re young, from what I got when I was helping Tails through it, it’s not easy to let them go. I never really understood it, but it took awhile for me to help train Tails. He was still wearing them off and on until he was around five, but mostly just at night. He wanted to be like me, and I helped him do so,” explained Sonic telling the little bit he does know since he was the main one that helped train Tails, though likely not as good as he could have done since he didn’t really have fathering experience beforehand.

“But I still look up to you and him and Amy and all our friends,” said Cream innocently “but I still like my diapies.”

“And that’s your choice for now. No one is going to make you stop wearing them until you say its time for now.” Sonic happily replied. No one had ever said she had to stop any time soon, but there may be an age where it may become more necessary to understand the other concept as well. For now though, no one really minded all that much.

Sonic looked a bit shocked at this question before shaking his head right away to it. “Well, I haven’t really wanted to again and I haven’t had an accident myself in quite a long time to be honest.” he says to her. Being a teen, just the thought of it did make him blush and a feel a bit embarrassed because that would definitely make someone laugh at him if they saw it he thought.

“I’m sorry if I’m asking about all this stuff,” she said. “I just wanted to know.” As much fun as being a baby was, Cream was a bit disappointed that nobody else wanted to be a baby as well. Didn’t stop Sonic, Amy, and Tails from playing with her, though.

“No, it’s okay Cream. Everyone gets curious of things from time to time and this is no different. Kids are supposed to ask questions anyway, so there is nothing unusual at all about your questions.” Sonic said to try and reassure her of this. They were strange question to someone of Sonic’s age and to someone that didn’t have a ton of knowledge on kids, just some, so it wasn’t unusual for Sonic to feel this way.

Cream gave her brother a big hug. He didn’t get upset either.
