Zircon knocked loudly on the door, getting aggravated. Aria slowly opened her eyes and saw she was in bed. Her head pounded in pain, what had happened last night? She remembered a song, Ultimate's warm breath, and lots of orange soda, but besides that, nothing. She heard more knocks, Ultimate not in bed with her. She saw him emerge from Yuki's room, his hair all ruffled from waking up. He answered the door, and she heard Zircon's voice.
"Hey Ultimate! Wazzup?"
"Nothing much, Ari's still sleeping upstairs. Want to come in?"
"Sure!" she heard footsteps, then a closing door, her stomach feeling worse than her head. She then felt the need to barf, running into the bathroom and doing so. Ultimate heard this and ran upstairs.
"Ari?! You okay?!" He caught her leaning over the trash can in the bathroom. He felt his heart quicken, gulping, then walking over and patting her back.
"A-Ari.. Please don't tell me...." Aria gulped, panting.
"I'll take a test... You keep Zircon occupied..." Ultimate obeyed and left, seeing Zircon just outside their door.
"I heard everything, and it sounds to me like Aria's pregnant again." Ultimate's cheeks burned.
"She can't be! I promised her!" he heard a gasp, retreating back into his and Aria's room, and going into the bathroom.
"So...?" She shakily handed the test to him, him looking down and gasping.
Positive.
He saw Aria crying over his feet.
"Ulti...I just can't believe it..." She cried harder, Ultimate bending down and hushing her.
"Ari...try and think positive about this...Yuki will be an older brother! He's always dreamed of that!" Her crying lessed, only to be replaced by gasping at the door. It was Zircon.
"Oh..my...GOD!!!" the hedgehog took off running, screaming the news that Aria was pregnant all throughout the castle. Aria and Ultimate did not stop her, but instead held each other close. Ultimate gulped.
"Ari...I'm so sorry...even after I promised you, here we are, expecting number 5." Aria smiled, holding Ultimate's shoulders.
"Hey. This shouldn't be sad. We're having another baby! This should be a time of happiness! Not sadness! We're bringing another beautiful hedgehog into this world." she hugged him, not knowing what had happened last night to cause this, and chuckling, knowing Ultimate couldn't help himself to the biggest treat on their anniversary. Yuki, now 6 years old, ran in, panting.
"I'm gonna be an older brother?!?" he said excitedly with a grin on his face. Aria looked up to him and nodded.
"Yep. Big Brother Yuki." Yuki hugged his mother, Aria picking him up as all the residents of her castle were at the door. Crescent gulped, her belly swollen with her baby.
"Are you really pregnant, Aria? Or was Zircon pulling another prank?" Ultimate placed his arm around Aria.
"Yep, she really is. Here's the test to prove it!" he handed it Crescent, who looked to  it and gasped hugging Aria, avoiding her own unborn child.
"Congrats, Aria!" Aria hugged back. Kyoki tapped Ultimate's back.
"Sooner or later, this castle's gonna be filled top to bottom with kids!" Ultimate laughed.
"No, no, no, no! I'll find a way to stop, but this kid, I promise is our last one." Kyoki chuckled.
"We'll see about that, Ultimate." Kyoki held Crescents hand and walked her out. Twilight Shadow and Starlight smiled to them, their now walking son also looking at them.
"Am I gwonna be a brodther too?" Starlight laughed and picked her curious son up.
"No, but you'll be a close friend to it." Aisu rubbed Aria's flat belly, Aria blushing as he did.
"Her belly is swoft, bwut where's da baby?" Aria picked him up.
"There won't be a lump until quite a few months from now." she handed Aisu back to Starlight, who took Twilight Shadow back to their room. Ultimate placed his warm hands on her shoulders.
"Aria...I feel that you're a bit sad and shocked with this new kid...I'm sorry...for last night..." Aria turned to him.
"Last night? Is that when...?"
"Yes. That was when we did it. I feel terrible for not telling you after you woke up...or when you took the test and found out about the baby...I truly am sorry....Even after I promised you...I couldn't keep it..."she saw tears beginning to form on the tip that separated his eyes and muzzle. She wiped it away.
"Ulti, you don't need to feel bad about last night. Heck, I only remember of half of it! The rest is a blur! I don't even remember! That's why I was shocked! If I had remembered, I wouldn't have been shocked at all! I would be rather happy it worked. But, how did I lose my memory? I would've wanted to remember that..." Ultimate shrugged.
"You crashed I guess...That's the only explanation I can think of. But..." he took her hands, staring into her eyes.
"If you're happy about this kid, than I will be too. Just another hedgehog brought into this beautiful world, this beautiful family, and this beautiful kingdom..." Aria had tears in her eyes of what Ultimate had said.
"Ulti...that is the sweetest thing you as a father could say. If only this baby were big enough to hear by now, it would know it's in goods hands. I trust you, Ulti. You really are a great father." she hugged him tightly. Ultimate hugged her back, smiling and blushing at the same time. Suddenly, another knock came from downstairs. Ultimate went down to answer it for her, Aria following silently behind him. When he opened the door, her heart almost leapt back to life again, it was Antoine.
"Hello King Ultimate! Have you seen Mademoiselle Zircon anywhere?" Ultimate gulped, but nodded, pointing towards the blue hedgehog oblivious to Aria hiding behind the corner.
"Antoine!! Aria's pregnant!" Antoine covered his mouth in shock, then steeling his courage and coming nose-to-nose with Ultimate.
"I tolds you so! I knew you couldn't help yourself than to make yet another child with Aria!" Ultimate blushed and shoved the coyote away.
"It wasn't my fault! This was a complete surprise!" Antoine narrowed his eyes and saw Aria peeking over the corner.
"Ah! There's the pregnant lady! Get down here!" Aria walked as slow as possible. Suddenly, she felt light headed. She tried to walk, but her vision blurred, and she fell head-first down the stairs. Ultimate gasped and hand his head over her's feeling her breath.
"Alive...But...This happened with all the other kids, she would unexpectedly black out. It's normal." he picked her up and carried her upstairs. Antoine facepalmed.
"Those two and their need to have children every five minutes!" Zircon sighed at the coyote's opinion, seeing Ultimate vanish behind the doorway of his hand Aria's room.

"King Noroi. We must deliver some news to you." a ninja said as Korosu and Noroi sat in the same throne, Noroi waving his finger.
"Yes?"
"King Ultimate and Queen Aria are having yet another child, their 5th to be exact." Noroi's eye raised up.
"Really? Hmm..." he thought, Korosu saw this.
"You plotting, Noroi?"
"Yep...Get a piece of paper." Korosu did what Noroi said and handed it to his grandson.
He wrote this down:
"Dear you two expecting people of purity,
I now know that you are expecting your 5th child. And knowing this information, you know I am plotting. You must fight my war in December 19. If you do not fight this exact date, I will kill your family regardless.
Your Perfect Enemy,
Noroi Curse Insanity."
He gave the latter to the ninja grunt, who quickly ran off to deliver it. Korosu rubbed the top of Noroi's head.
"You really are the perfect enemy, Noroi. Only the People of Purity have no chance of beating you."
