Sonic POV

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" Carol-An and I took each other and kissed wrapping our arms around each other, we heard the crowd cheer but we didn't care. Riley then jumped up and hugged both of us.

"Can I call you mom now?" she said as Carol-An carried her out.

"Yes, you could have started when your father proposed." she said smiling. Riley shook her head.

"Nuh-uh wouldn't have be right." She then saw mom and dad. She hopped out of 'An's arms and hugged them saying happily, "I got a mommy!"

Carol-An laughed, "She's so happy."

I nodded, "Yeah, remember when we told her we were getting married, she cried."

Mom, dad and Uncle Chuck walked over to us, "I'm so proud of you Son."

"I'm afraid we haven't have met," Uncle Chuck said, "I'm Charles or Uncle Chuck." he held out his hand she took it.

"I'm Carol-An, it's nice to meet you Uncle Chuck." I then held her close.

"I don't know Maurice, don't you think that you two are rushing it?" mom asked.

'An and I looked at each other and shook our heads, "Nah." we said.

Later that night Knuckles handed me his Warp Ring, "You two have fun, okay?"

"Don't worry we will." 'An said hugging my arm, as I tossed the ring in front of us, "Where are we going?"

"I found out about a resort in the Emerald Sea." I said and her eyes lit up, I then looked over to Riley who was standing by Knuckles, mom, dad, and Uncle Chuck, "Now you be a good girl for Knuckles, and I'll see you in two weeks okay?"

"Okay dad, have fun, and don't forget to get me something!!"

I laughed, "Okay, okay kiddo, I won't forget." I touched and thought about Emerald Sea Resort and Spa, and still touching the ring I stepped aside saying, "Ladies first."

'An giggled and step through, I waved and saw Miles giving me the thumbs up with an evil grin. I knew what he meant with it too. I winked and stepped through calling behind me, "Bye!" and I pulled the Warp Ring with me. I stepped out and looked up to see a sun-drenched beach overlooking it all was a huge building and several smaller buildings. I wrapped my arm around Carol-An and said, "How's about we go and get our room?" I then gave her a dark smile, not the bad kind.

"Is that an invitation?" she answered slyly and kissed me.

"Well, what do you think?" I replied as we walked through the door towards the reception desk.

As soon as we got our key she tickled my neck, "Let's go Blue Boy!"

Riley's POV

I sat down on the ground, Man, Daddy takes mommy away for two weeks, on a 'honey moon' and Knuckles and Julie-Su just ran off after some Dr. Fini-whatsit. Now I'm stuck here with Captain Surly, and Amy Rose. Mrs. Rose is kinda cool though. my ears twitched as I heard Shadow walking towards me. I picked up my book and buried my nose into it, in an attempt to look busy.

"Riley, that trick won't work you have to train."

I winced, "Okay Mr. Shadow." I'm Captain Surly! I thought smiling to myself getting up and handing him my book. he raised his eyebrows when he saw the title.

"Bram Stoker's Dracula?" I nodded

"Yeah, it's about this human named Johnathan Hawking, going to this Vampire's place and getting trapped there, well as far as I've read. I haven't gotten very far. Mrs. Rose was amazed when she saw me pick it up when we went to the market the other day. She said it might be 'to advance and adult for me' to read. But so far it's good, a little difficult but I'll manage."

Shadow blinked, "I am very surprised that you are Blue's daughter at times just to let you know." I smiled, "However you will not be training alone today, Damien will be training with you."

My face lit up and I did a jump for joy in my head, normally after we were done training, Shadow would let us rough house afterward. I raced back to Knuckles and grabbed my training clothes and threw them on. I was back before Damien, "I win Copycat!" Damien stuck his tongue out at me and I gave him a shove into the dirt.

"That is enough from both of you!" Shadow snapped and we looked up and gave him innocent smiles, "Now I expect the both of you to work together. Today's lesson will be on hand to hand combat--"

"Is it like rough housing?" Damien asked.

Shadow nodded, "Yes but more than just pushing and shoving. Combat requires you to focus, and as an added challenge I will also assess how well both of your Chaos Control is. Now remember it is you two against me, so I do not want either of you holding back." We nodded and got in our fighting positions, "And NOW!" Damien shot ahead of me and tried to hit him with his rocket shoes, which he blocked I dove down and tried to take out his legs. I took them out but he used on hand to flip up into the air, "CHAOS SPEAR!" he shouted, the attack was heading for me.

I grinned and held out my hands, "CHAOS SHIELD!" a small green shield came out of my hands and the spear was absorbed, "CHAOS REFLECTION!" the spear shot out of the the shield and Shadow dodged it.

"You are not even trying!" Shadow said mockingly

I snarled and raised my arms, "CHAOS SHARD!" a bunch of green energy shards shot out of my hands, No way he can dodge all that! Shadow smirked and disappeared. I whirled around looking left and right.

"Behind you!" Damien shouted as I turned around to see Shadow back hand me. I tumbled head over heels and sat up rubbing my cheek, Damien soon followed being thrown by my way from his middle quill.

"There has to be something we can do." I muttered still rubbing my sore cheek. "D. you live with him, anything useful?"

Damien shrugged getting up rubbing the base of his middle quill, "Not much other than he's pretty ticklish...That's it! Riley come with me!" Damien shot off and I trailed him eager to hear his plan.

Shadow's POV

I blinked, What are those two up to? I thought as they raced off into the forest, "Hey! Come back we are still training!"

Riley skidded to a stop and stuck her tounge out, "Then come and catch us slow poke!" I raced after them narrowing my eyes.

"Slow poke huh?" I said smirking, She's her father through, and through. I glided through the forest dodging trees, which slowed how fast I could go, "Hm, not bad, they are thinking on thier feet." I soon spotted them in a clearing, "Then again, maybe they were just trying to shirk..." Riley looked over and jumped startled.

"Uh-oh D. he's here!" I rushed forward and aimed a punch, she dodged and shouted, "NOW D.!"

I felt Damien hit my side and I fell to the ground, Riley then jumped on top of me and they began to tickle my sides. I burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha s-stop!" I shouted.

"Say it first and we will!" my son shouted as they intensified thier tickling.

"N-No!" I shouted laughing harder, tears pouring down my face, "N-Not a ha ha ha chance." I went to move my arms and felt the two of them pin them down with one foot each, they had me down good, each one had a knee on my chest, and a foot on each arm.

"C'mon Shadow, say it and will stop!"

"F-Fine I give! You two win!" they stopped and got up and sat up wiping the moisture from my cheeks and muzzle, "How did you two...?"

"I told her about how ticklish you are so we both came up with the idea, seeing as we can't beat you, for real." Damien said, he then crossed his arms, cocked his head to the side looking smug, "Pretty smart huh?"

I nodded, "Yes, however you cannot always beat an opponent by tickling them into submission."

Riley scoffed, "Psh, please Shadow were six years old! You're just upset that we beat you."

I rolled my eyes, "Anyway, you two did good, let's go home and have lunch." Riley and Damien gave each other a high five as we walked back to Knuckles' house.

Riley's POV

"You're doing what Faker!" daddy cried looking he saw a monster.

"You heard me Blue, Knuckles is letting me complete Riley's trainning." Shadow said crossing his arms.

Dad sighed, and looked at me, "Riley did you know about this?"

I nodded, "Yup."

"What do you think of it?" he asked I shrugged

"I don't mind, I get to play with Damien. He's a lot of fun and really slow so I can beat him at races and stuff."

"Hey I'm not that slow!" Damien yelled across the room, Knuckles said that till daddy got home I had to stay with Shadow and Amy, and I got to play with Maria too. She was three years younger than me. She looked like Shadow but her markings were yellow and she had the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen, even brighter than mine.

I laughed, "Anyway are you having fun with mom?"

Daddy nodded as mommy came into view, "Oh Riley! How are you sweetie?"

I smiled, "I'm fine mom, Shadow and Amy are really nice. Dad why do you think he's a mean person and call him Faker all the time?"

"I'll tell you when you're older." daddy said bluntly.

Damien threw a stuff toy at my head and I snarled, "I'll get you for that Copycat!" I lunged at him and tumbled out of daddy's view.

Daddy laughed, "Aw, look and you're asking me why I call Shadow 'Faker'?" Shadow turned the monitor to face me so daddy could see me as I pinned D. to the ground.

"He is a Copycat dad, he looks like Shadow." I pulled Damien's head up by his two upper quills, to show his Captain Surly face.

"Get off me Violet!" he snarled, I laughed and hopped off him as he took a swipe at me.

"Riley, that's enough, now why would I get something for a girl who's not behaving?" dad said sternly, my ears flattened and I looked down guilty, "Say you're sorry."

"Sorry Damien..." I muttered then I looked up at Shadow and asked, "Can I go and help Amy with dinner?" Shadow nodded, "Okay dad see you later!"

Shadow's POV

I watched Riley walk off and heard Sonic sighed, "She doesn't seem all to upset about me leaving..."

"Blue, she is a child. Her attention span is not very long."

"Speaking of kids Shadow, when did you and Amy decide to have one?"

I blinked, "To tell you the truth both Amy and I were convinced I was sterile, Damien was...how should I put this...Unexpected, pleasant, but unexpected." Amy came in and gave a cheery wave to Sonic.

"Hi Sonic! Yeah I was overjoyed when I found out about Damien, and Shadow cried he was so happy!"

Sonic blinked and then burst out laughing, "I would have paid money to see that!"

My eye twitched, "Shouldn't you have something to do Blue Hedgehog?"

"Oh yeah..." he said giving a smirk over to Carol-An, "Well see ya tell Riley I love her, and to behave or no surprise." the screen went black I gave a small smile and sighed.

Somethings never change. I thought getting up and heading to the kitchen.

Later that night after making sure Riley and Damien had gone to bed, I was sitting on the couch Amy's head on my chest as we watched one of those cooking shows were the host is over peppy about what they are cooking. I looked down and smiled, Amy had fallen asleep. I gently moved her head so I could get up. I also took off my shoes so I would not wake her. Then I walked into the kitchen and opened the freezer door, pulling out a small single serving cup of vanilla ice cream. After I came back I sat back down in a chair and opened the ice cream, letting my memories rush over me as I looked at Amy.

"Ah, Agent Shadow good. You and Agent Rouge have another mission." Commander Tower said as I walked in.

"Where are we going sir?"

"We got a distress call from one of our out-lying city-states. They need assistance immediately, a legion of Iron Dominion mechs and Ninjas has started an assault." he said handing me the location information.

"Sir, why isn't Omega joining us?" I asked as Rouge walked over to me. I immediately felt my stomach tightened, and my muzzle burn, "Oh, hi Rouge."

"Hi Handsome, ya ready to go?"

"As soon as the Commander answers my question." I muttered to her.

"To answer your question, because we were told that the Iron Queen is heading the assault."

I nodded, and turned, "Give me five minuets sir, and I will be ready to go."

"Okay Shadow, but be quick time is of the essence."

I raised my hand to show I heard him and raced back to my quarters. I slammed the door and locked it and walked over to my dresser, opening the top drawer to reveal a small box. I smiled, Rouge and I had been dating for over a year, and I felt like it was time to take the next step. If she would want to. I took the box out and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. I hope she will say yes. I thought closing the box and putting it back in the drawer.

As soon as I came back Hope was there, "Shadow!" she walked over and handed me a communicator, "This should be able to keep you, Rouge and us connected, I've modified them so the Iron Queen can't do anything to them."

I put the small device in my right ear, "Thank you Hope, this will help considerably."

"Are you two all set? Yes Rouge?"

"Why is it just us?" she asked looking over at me, "Not that I mind."

"Because the legion that is attacking is not very large, and besides it's not like you two really need help." Rouge smiled, "Okay now get going you two and good luck." We saluted and left.

"Say Rouge, when we're done do you want to go to dinner or something?"

"Sure thing Handsome." she said kissing me on the cheek, "But let's worry about the mission first, dinner later."

I spin-dashed through another bot and laughed mockingly, "Ha, you are not even trying Regina!" I shouted at the Overlander who glowered at me.

"Fool, I'll see to it that you are nothing more than a smear on the ground by the time this is done!"

"Shadow! Get over to the Northern section of the city I need your help, pronto!" I heard Rouge scream I nodded and raced over. Commander Tower had really underestimated the number of drones that woman had brought with her. We were getting worn down and fast. I might be the Ultimate Lifeform, but even I was worried about how well we would fair.

I raced off dodging mechs and ninja alike until I was taken by surprise and pinned. I was only a few yards away, "Rouge!" I shouted as I heard the click of an all to familiar weapon, "Rouge look out!" I struggled against the bot that was holding me down. I looked over when I heard the Iron Queen laugh.

"Mree-hee-hee! FIRE!" the sound was deafening as I saw Rouge pelleted.

'NO!" I shouted throwing off the mech that held me, tears coming to my eyes, It's Maria all over again! I grabbed my Inhibitor Rings and raced over to Rouge who was still breathing, miraculously. I pulled off the Rings and holding them in one hand and Rouge in the other shouted, "CHAOS CONTROL!" there was a bright flash and we were gone.

"Shadow..." Rouge said weakly as we appeared in G.U.N.'s med ward, her blood had stained the white tuft I had.

"Shh, it's going to be okay." I said staggering as my strength seem to leave my body, "SOMEBODY HELP!" I shouted falling to my knees. Some Overlanders heard me and rushed over. Rouge put her hand to my cheek, her glazing over.

"I...love...you..." Her body went limp in my arms as the last ounce of her life left her body. I just sat there as the Overlanders took her body gently from me, knowing that it was to late.

I failed again... I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up and saw Hope. A lump formed in my throat as she hugged me tears streaming down her face. I could not help myself as I let out a soft sob that slowly became louder, I hadn't cried since Maria. But now I was sobbing staining Hope's shirt and overalls with my tears, I loved Rouge, and now she was gone. I soon felt Hope's arm reach under my legs, and she lifted me up and began to carry me off to my quarters, "I-If only I had been a little quicker I would have saved her..." I trailed off as another wave of grief crashed over me. Hope continued to hold me as I cried myself into exhaustion, and soon fell asleep.

One week later

I was sitting on a bench in the park in Station Square, my knees touching my chest as I stared out into the trees. I did not want to see anyone, not even Hope. Rouge was dead because of me. I sighed and buried my face into my knees as my grief threatened to overcome me again. I bit my lower lip and held back a sob as tears began to fall. "I'm so sorry Rouge...I'm so sorry." I then heard foot steps and looked up to see Amy Rose walking down the little path.

She saw me and called, "Shadow! Hope said I could find you here." She walked over to the bench and sat down, "Are you okay? When I heard about Rouge I rushed over hear as fast as I could."

I sniffed, "I am fine." I muttered trying to make her go away.

"The Hell you are!" she said firmly, "I bet you haven't moved from this bench since the furneral." She was right, I hadn't. "Do you think Rouge would have want you to mope over her?"

Gah! What is it with you? Mope, mope, mope! I smiled to myself as I remembered what she used to say whenever I got like this.

I blinked and looked at Amy who pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped my eyes, "Now come one, I know you loved her. I know it hurts to lose someone you care about." she sniffed, "Sonic and I just broke up...but that's not what I'm talking about, my parents just passed away. I never really got to know them, but, it feels like a piece of you is gone forever."

"I am sorry, for both your loss and the break up." Amy shrugged.

"It really just didn't work out to tell you the truth." She then sighed, "And to think I spent most of my life, and aged my body, for nothing. I feel like crap because of that."

"No you love someone who did not know how to, or probably did not want to return your affection. The Blue Hedgehog is a fool for doing so."

"What's that suppose to mean?" she said arching her eyebrow.

"Well, you are caring, attractive, and have a fire to you that no one else can surpass. Any male would be lucky to have you."

"That's...sweet coming from you. Why don't I treat you to dinner, your ribs are starting to show." she said standing up, and grabbing my hand.

"I...think I would like that." I said standing up, my legs shaking from lack of use.

Two months later

I signed the form and handed it back to the landlord, a Mobian Cockatoo, "Thank you Mr. Shadow and congratulations on you new condo."

I nodded, picking up my bags and opened the door. After closing the door behind me I walked around looking at my new residence. "I can't believe I took Hope's advice and got a condo...this is going to drain my pay check." I muttered to myself shaking my head. The apartment had been previously owned by an Overlander couple, however they found someplace more suitable for their third child. I had bought it about two weeks ago, but I had to wait while they re-modeled it to make it more "Mobian Friendly" as they had put it.

"C'mon Shadow, you should go for it. Admit it, staying in the barracks is making you go stir crazy." I gave Hope a look a spoon still in my mouth. "I work here and I have a place to go home to."

I swallowed another spoonful of the soup I was eating, "I would much prefer to stay here." Hope narrowed her eye tapping her fore-finger.

"That's a crock of shit!" I blinked at her out burst, "How long have I known you? Three years now?! Face it you are going stir crazy and it's driving me crazy knowing that!" she then pointed to Amy who was talking to Omega about something, "You two have been going steady for two months now! Amy even agree to move here! As a girl myself," She said smugly, "she'll think that you have your own place or something. Imagine her surprise when you tell her you just got this!"

She held out a clip out for a condo that was rent to own, "Hope I can't afford that!"

"Yes you can, Commander Tower just gave you a raise remember?"

"Oh, yeah..." I said looking down then back at the clip out.

I turned my head towards the door as I heard a knock on the door, "Who is it?" I called.

"It's me Shadow." Amy said, my heart seemed to skip a beat, I opened the door and Amy came in, "When did you get this?"

"Two weeks ago." I said feeling my muzzle burn.

Amy walked around the new apartment, it had two stories to it three bedrooms and a large bathroom and bath. The kitchen was separated from the living room by a breakfast bar that had stools bolted to the floor. It had already be furnished with a couch, a chair that reclined, a coffee table and a flat-screen TV. The kitchen had everything that it needed with the exception of dishes and cups, I had not bought those yet. The walls were still a brilliant white, after a few moments Amy sighed and said, "This place needs a woman's touch, and a new paint job." she then looked at me, "You really need to learn more about interior design." she giggled as I blushed.

"Then can you help me?" I asked she nodded.

"Sure."

I smiled, "Thank you." I then began to rub the back of my head, "Listen do you want to go and see a movie or something? My treat."

Amy nodded, "Sounds good. I can try the new dress my cousin got me." she headed for the door, "Pick me up at six, is that a good time?"

"Yes." I said nodding she waved and left as I looked up at the clock, "Four o' clock, I will have just enough time to un-pack and take a shower." I had to admit that I had become attracted to her. I felt guilty about moving on so quickly, but Amy had a way of making me happy. Every time I would become depressed, she would cheer me up. Also there was always an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I looked at her. I picked up a small bag and headed up stairs.

Knock, knock, knock I started and looked up at the clock, five forty-five. I got up and walked to the door, "Hello?" I said opening the door and saw Amy holding out a bag of take out, along with several other bags. She was also wearing a new shirt and dress, the shirt was sky blue, and the dress was the same color. She also had a silver necklace on with a lavender flower pendent that rested gently on her chest, she wasn't wearing her head band either. She looked at me and smiled.

"I figured we'd have dinner and a movie here in stead, seeing that large crowds have a habit of upsetting you. I'm sorry I didn't call, seeing that you just moved here I figured you didn't have a phone yet."

"Well I do have a phone, but I do not mind you coming over..." How could I?

Amy seemed to sigh and stepped inside taking her boots off next to my shoes, "I take it no shoes in the apartment?" I nodded.

"I do not want to carpet stained?" I said nervously, I then pointed to the kitchen table, "You can put the food right there, I am afraid I do not have any eating utensils--"

"That's okay I brought Chopsticks." She said walking into the kitchen and placing the bag on the table, "Have you ever had Sushi?" I shook my head, "Well that's what I brought, I also got some Chow Mien, Egg rolls and Fried Rice." she pulled out everything as she spoke, there was six large containers I guessed that they held the Chow Mien and Fried Rice and a few small bags that held the Eggrolls. She then pulled out a large box that held the Sushi, "I hope I didn't bring to much, I know you don't eat often, if at all. So I thought I'd bring you a few of my favorites and see what you thought, seeing as all I ever see you eat is ice cream." I blushed, I then heard the crinkle of the plastic bags.

"What's in those?" I asked.

"Let's see, trash bags, disposable plates, and cups, a few other things I thought you would need." She then turned around and showed me a case for a movie, it was one of my favorite horror films, "I rented this from the video store down the street. Would this do?"

"Yes, but are you sure you can watch it?"

"That's what I got you for!" she said giving me a playful smile.

I blushed again, which caused her to burst out laughing, "What?"

"Nothing, it's just...you have a habit of blushing a lot which makes you look cuter."

She thinks I am cute? I thought as I walked over and opened the package of paper plates, "Thank you."

"For what?" She asked as she opened up one of the containers and poured out the mixture of noodles, vegetables and pork on to a plate.

"For being there for me...when things had gone bad and I was blaming myself, thank you." Amy looked at me, then she smiled and wrapped her arms around me.

"Welcome." she said softly as her lips met mine.

"Shadow what did you call me for?" Amy asked, I held my hands together hiding a small box in them. For some reason I was petrified.

"Well...I..." I trailed off as I stood up and swallowed, All right get a grip on yourself! You are the Ultimate Lifeform, this should not be so difficult! I sighed and looked her in the eyes, "I love you and I want to know something," I got down on one knee and opened my hands and the box at the same time, "will you marry me?"

Amy gasped and I saw tears come to her eyes, "Oh, Shadow..." she said softly she knelt down and kissed me, "Yes I will..."

My body seemed to soar, we parted and I delicately put the ring on her finger, "You have made me feel happier than I have felt in a long time Amy. And for that I promise to make you feel the way I do right now." we stood up and I wiped the tears from her eyes, "I love you so much."

"Agent Shadow you have a call." an Overlander called into the training room.

I looked up and walked over to the wireless phone, "Agent Shadow."

"Shadow, are you near a chair?" it was Amy, she sounded happy.

"No, but hold on." I walked over to a chair and sat down, "Okay, what is wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong Shadow. I guess you were wrong about being sterile," I knew what she was going to say before she said it, "I'm pregent Honey!"

"T-That's..." I trailed off. I didn't know what to say I got up from the chair and walked over to the phone jack, "I will be right over."

"Okay Sweetie, but what about work?"

"Commander Tower will let me take the rest of the day off I am certine of that."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." I said with a distracted air. After I hung up I seemed to have forgotten about the rockets in my shoes. Because I ran all the way to the Hope's shop where Hope, Omega and Commander Tower were talking.

"Agent Shadow what's wrong?" Tower asked as I burst through the door panting.

"Sir, may I have the rest of the day off?"

"Why?"

"Amy," I drew in a deep breath, "Amy's going to have a baby!"

Hope squealed and hopped off the platform she was on and  rushed over to me, "Oh Shadow that's great!"

"I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU WERE INCAPABLE OF REPRODUCING?" Omega asked.

I shook my head, which made me feel dizzier than how I felt, "I thought so too, I guess I was wrong."

"This is good news, and seeing that there is nothing for you to do at the moment I don't see why not. You have the rest of the day off, and tell the Mrs. that I said congratulations." Tower said.

I saluted, "Thank you sir!" and I raced off. Soon the only thing in my mind was the thought of me as a father and the sound of my rockets as I skated home.

"Take it easy Shadow, you'll walk a rut into the floor." Hope said watching me paced back and forth.

"How can I 'take it easy' Hope? I do not know if Amy, and the baby are going to be okay." I wasn't worried about what the baby was going to look like I had seen the Ultra Sounds, to my relief it was a hedgehog. The door to the ward opened and I looked up hopefully, only to see them talk to another group of people and lead them in through the door. I huffed and began to pace again. Amy had been in there for over eight hours, and I was beginning to worry.

"Mr. Hedgehog?" my head shot up as a nurse looked down at me smiling, "Mrs. Rose is ready to see you now."

I looked over at Hope, "Do you want to come?" she shook her head.

"No Shadow, I'll wait till you show us the pictures." She gave me a smile and left, "Give Amy my congrats."

The nurse lead me down the hall to a room and opened to door, "She's in here."

I walked in and saw Amy holding a small blue blanket, "It's a boy." She said, she sounded exhausted, her pink fur covered in sweat. I looked over her shoulder as she pulled the blanket down for me to get a good look, "He looks like you." The baby was sleeping, he look like me, right down to the markings, I gently touched his head feeling the soft fur under my hands. His eyes opened, he had my eyes as well, he blinked and smiled, "He needs a name."

"Damien." I said softly, "How about Damien?"

"I like that, did you hear that? You're name's Damien." Damien seemed bored and yawned closing his eyes. I then took the chair next to her and she handed me Damien, "You should hold him."

I did not know how to feel as Amy handed him to me, there in my arms was my son. "He is wonderful." I whispered.

"Daddy?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked over to see Damien yawning and rubbing his eyes, "Can I have a glass of water?"

I stood up and nodded, "Yes you can." Damien left and I followed to get him the water.

Sonic's POV

"Dad! Mom!" Riley yelled as she slammed into me.

"OOF--Riley I missed you too!" I ruffled her quills and said smiling, "Were you a good girl?"

"Yep! Do I get my surprise?"

Carol-An chuckled, "You sure do! You're going to be a big sister!"

Riley screamed and hugged 'An, "Mom you called the Stork?"

'An looked and me, "Something like that." Riley had tears in her eyes as she ran over to Shadow.

"Did you hear that?! I'm gunna be a big sister!"
...Okay I know that it does get a little rushed but I am seriously no good at writing romantic things. Also I know that there are a lot of short flashes. Flash Backs, Flash Forwards, Criss-Cross overs and I think that there is a Llama in there somewhere...So yeah let the flaming begin!

I know there are a lot of Shadouge fans out there but I don't care! I'm a ShadAmy fan and proud of it ^^ so let me know what you think and I won't spin you like I did :icondeeteedilly:
