"So this is it, sweetie... your first doctor's checkup!" A little blue-furred hedgehoglet named Samuel, coos as he looks up at the young female who was holding him. The young male, who was named Sonic, chuckles and gently ruffles Samuel's hair as he looks up at him. "That's right, little buddy. The doctor hasn't seen you since you were born..." Samuel coos as he looks up at Sonic and makes a curious expression. He sucks his thumb and smiles a little as the young female, named Kira, kisses the top of his head. Sonic bounces Samuel on his lap as Kira looks around the waiting room, smiling at the other patients as some of them look over to Samuel and make silly faces. Samuel notices the silly faces and giggles as he claps his hands. Kira giggles and turns to Sonic. "Looks like Sammy is popular..." Sonic chuckles and looks down at Samuel before kissing his head. He soon feels his ear twitch and looks up at the doorway, noticing a purple-furred mobian dog. She was wearing a white and red clinical dress, white shoes, a white and red hat and a pair of glasses. She smiles as she looks down at the clipboard in her arms. She then looks over to Samuel and smiles. "Samuel Sterling?" Samuel coos and looks up as his name is called. Sonic and Kira both smile and stand up as Sonic carries Samuel over to the doctor, Kira following behind. -------------- *In the doctor's office...* "Please take a seat..." Sonic and Kira both sit on some chairs in front of the doctor's desk and looks up as the doctor, named Ginger, sits in her chair and places her clipboard onto her desk. She then turns her chair to face Samuel and leans forward, smiling at him. "Now then, I understand that it's your first checkup today, sweetheart." Samuel sucks his thumb once again and looks up at Ginger before looking back to Sonic and Kira. Ginger smiles and watches as Samuel turns back to face her. "You're looking very well, little one but we just need to run a few tests. We'll check your heartbeat first..." Samuel makes a confused expression as Ginger slides on a pair of gloves and kneels down in front of him. She takes the stethoscope from around her neck and looks up at Sonic. "Now, if you would like to unbutton Sammy's babysuit and I can check his heartbeat." Sonic smiles and nods as he unbuttons Sammy's suit and reveals his tummy. He shivers a bit and lowers his ears as Ginger applies the end of her stethoscope to his chest. He looks up at Sonic and Kira and notices them both smiling down at him. "It'll be ok, sweetie... she won't hurt you." Samuel whines a bit and looks up at Ginger as she removes the stethoscope and smiles down at him. "Your heartbeats are very good, sweetheart! You are a very healthy baby..." Samuel smiles a bit as he looks up at Kira. Kira kisses his head and then makes a slightly worried expression as Ginger takes out a small needle from a drawer. She places it on the table and looks down at Samuel. "I'm afraid you will not like this next part, little one, but it has to be done..." Sonic makes a worried expression as he looks at Kira before beginning to unbutton the rest of Samuel's suit. He then removes it before handing it to Kira. "Alright doc, he's all ready." Ginger looks over before a sweatdrop begins to appear on her head. She smiles nervously as she looks over to Sonic. "He's almost ready, Sonic... but I forgot to mention that his shot will be in his... well... bottom." "Oh..." Sonic lowers his ears a bit as he lays Samuel on the examination table before beginning to untape his diaper. Once his diaper was off, Samuel sucks his thumb and looks up at Ginger as she gently lays him onto his tummy. "Oh I meant to ask... has Samuel had a poo recently?" Kira looks up and nods a bit as she gently holds one of Samuel's tiny hands into hers. "Yes he has, he had one a few hours ago..." "That's good. I just wanted to make sure, just so he doesn't end up going when I give him the shot..." Kira smiles a bit and soon lowers her ears a bit as Ginger picks up the needle. "Now, this will hurt for a bit, sweetheart... but only for a few seconds." Samuel makes a confused expression as he looks up at Sonic, who was kneeling down in front of him. "Don't worry, little buddy... it'll be over quickly." Ginger smiles a bit before gently beginning to inject the needle into Samuel's bottom. Sonic winces a bit as he notices the needle go in and soon lowers his ears as he notices Samuel begin to tear up. Once Ginger had finished, she removes the needle before disposing of it. She turns back and smiles nervously as Samuel soon begins to scream. "I'm sorry Sammy... but it's all over now." Samuel cries loudly and kicks his feet as the pain of the needle was still traveling through him. Kira gently runs a hand along Samuel's muzzle and kisses his head. "Don't worry sweetie... the worst part is over." Sonic smiles a bit and nods as he gently rubs Samuel's head. As his parents were attempting to comfort him, Samuel continues to cry and soon scrunches his face up as he has a small poo on the examination table beneath him. He whines and shivers as Sonic looks down at him. He notices the poo and turns to Ginger, smiling nervously. "Um, doc? Sammy's had a bit of a poo on the table... eheh..." Ginger turns around and smiles a bit as she walks over to a nearby cupboard. She then takes out some cleaning equipment and walks back over. "It's alright. I'll take care of it..." Samuel continues to cry loudly as Sonic gently picks him up and holds him up. Kira reaches over to her bag and takes out a packet of baby wipes and opens them before cleaning him up with one and smiling up to him. "I had a feeling you would end up having an accident of some type... little cheeky baby, you~" Samuel continues to cry and kicks his feet as Kira throws the wipe away and hands him to Sonic. Sonic gently bounces him up and down in his arms as Kira picks up Samuel's diaper and attempts to tape it back onto him. Sonic continues to bounce him up and down and Kira soon manages to tape the diaper back on. "Shh, it's ok, little buddy..." Samuel hiccups a bit but soon begins to calm down. He sniffles and holds onto Sonic's scarf as Ginger begins to clean up the mess. Kira smiles down at him and takes out a pacifier from her bag before popping it into Samuel's mouth. Samuel begins to suckle on it and soon calms down, holding onto Sonic. Once Ginger had finished cleaning up the mess, she smiles and walks back over. "Ok Sammy... now we just need to take a urine sample. This will be much less painful, don't worry." Kira lowers her ears a bit and places her hands onto her lap when she talks to Ginger. "I was going to mention... he had a wee the other day and he was crying. I think he might have been in a bit of pain when he was doing it..." "I understand. Well, he is due for a urine sample anyway so we can have a little check for any infection." Kira nods and watches as the doctor grabs a nearby bucket and places it under Samuel. Samuel looks down at the bucket, curiously as Ginger smiles up at Sonic. "Ok Sonic, if you would like to remove his diaper and we can try to convince him to urinate." Sonic smiles and nods as he untapes Samuel's diaper and puts it down before holding him over the bucket. Ginger smiles and reaches over, grabbing a packet of wipes. "Ok, we just need to use the wipes to stimulate his bladder..." Sonic and Kira both nod and both wait as Ginger begins to wipe his willy. Samuel whines a bit and wriggles around as Sonic holds him. ------------------- A few minutes later, Samuel wriggles around and soon looks down as he begins to let out a small pee stream, which splashes into the bucket. He whimpers a bit as he looks up at Sonic. Sonic smiles down at him and holds him in place as he continues to urinate. Kira smiles and claps her hands, making a small 'yay' sound. "Good boy, sweetie!" Ginger giggles a bit and soon uses a clean wipe to clean up Samuel's willy. "Well done, sweetheart. This is a good sample, though a little bit too much..." Kira giggles from the comment and looks down at Samuel as he whines and kicks his feet. Ginger smiles and collects the sample before walking over to a nearby sink. "I'll just get this sample checked. I think it would be wise to put Samuel's diaper back on now, just in case!" Sonic chuckles and lays Samuel onto his lap as Kira hands his diaper back to him. He attempts to tape it onto him but struggles a bit as Samuel continues to kick his feet. "Now, now... calm down, Sammy." Kira giggles a bit as she holds Sammy's legs in place. "You're so wriggly, sweetie~" Sonic smiles a bit but soon lowers his ears as Samuel whimpers. He's about to comfort him but soon yelps as Sammy squirts out a stream of wee up into the air and onto his chest. Ginger turns back and gasps a bit. Kira grabs a blanket and uses it to cover Samuel's willy. She giggles and uses her other hand to grab a wipe and clean up Sonic's chest. "He's got a very good aim, that's for sure~!" Ginger giggles from the comment and soon disposes of the urine sample before walking back over and sitting on her chair. "I see he wasn't quite finished..." Sonic sighs and smiles as he shakes his head. "Believe me doc, he does this to me quite a lot..." Ginger giggles once again. "Well, it does make sense in a way... I imagine he probably does it to attempt to be the dominant male. Or to make you proud of his marking ability..." Sonic smiles down at Samuel as he makes a curious expression. He leans down and kisses Samuel's nose and feels his ear twitch as Samuel's hissing sound begins to decrease in volume. "Well, he does have a very good marking ability and it sounds like he's finished his wee..." Kira giggles as she removes the blanket and uses a wipe to clean up Sammy's willy. Samuel wriggles around and coos as Kira throws the wipe away and tapes his diaper back onto him. Sonic then dresses Samuel back into his suit and sits him on his lap. "I have had a look at the sample and fortunately there is no sign of infection. Occasionally, little boy hedgehogs tend to cry whenever they urinate more than usual. It is only when they're older that they tend to feel more relief from it..." "I see." "But either way, his bladder is all good and he has all of his appropriate shots... so I will not need to see him for a few months." Sonic and Kira both smile and stand up from their chairs. Samuel holds onto Sonic and looks over to Ginger as she stands up also and smiles up at the two adult hedgehogs. "Thank you, doctor. It's such a relief to have him checked over..." "You're very welcome. Please feel free to come again if anything happens." Kira smiles and nods as she turns to open the door. Sonic follows behind but soon turns back as he feels a hand on his shoulder. "Apologies. I just wanted to give something to Samuel..." Samuel coos and soon opens his eyes wide as Ginger holds a small rattle in front of him. She shakes it and Samuel reaches out, attempting to grab it. The rattle had rainbow stripes across it and had a small golden ring at the bottom of the handle. Ginger hands the rattle to Sammy and smiles as he shakes it, admiring it's colours. Sonic and Kira both smile down at Sammy and Sonic whispers to Sammy. "What do you say to the doctor, Sammy?" Samuel looks up at the doctor and lowers his ears, shyly. Ginger giggles once again and coos as Samuel makes a small cooing noise. "Hehe, I'll take that as a 'thank you'." Samuel giggles cutely as he shakes the rattle and smiles as it makes a noise. Sonic chuckles and kisses Samuel's cheek as they head towards the door. "Thanks doctor." ----------------------- Once the mobians had left the room, Samuel continues to giggle as he shakes the rattle. Kira kisses Samuel's cheek and gently ruffles his hair as she looks down at him. "You were very brave today, sweetie!" "You sure were, little guy!" Samuel coos as Sonic kisses his head and smiles up at his parents as they walk out of the waiting room and out of the main entrance.
