1. Chapter 1

Shadow sat in his chair holding his newborn Son. Tears blurred his vision as he craddled the little hedgebat. Rouge had died during his birth. They knew her chances were slim if she ever got pregnant. But she did.

"This is all my fault." Shadow whispered. It felt like Maria's death all over again.

The little baby started to cry. Shadow tried to calm him down, but he would not be soothed. His wails grew louder.

Shadow began to cry. It was to much, "I can't do this." He whispered. He put the baby hedgebat on Rouge's chest and left the room.

He sat on the couch staring at the wall listening to his baby's sobs. He didn't know what to do. He sat there for hours, finally he just couldn't. He got up and went to the kitchen. And, opening a drawer, he got a knife and poised it over his wrist.

"Shadow!"

He turned around with tear stained cheeks. It was Sonic.

"What are you doing?!" He shouted snatching it from Shadow.

Shadow broke down, he sank to the floor sobbing. Sonic was confused, "Shadow?" He asked calmly, "What's going on?"

Shadow told him everything.

"I'm so sorry buddy," Sonic said patting his shoulder.

Shadow was crying too hard to say anything. Sonic had never seen Shadow in this state before, he didn't know what to do. He went to get the little boy, he was still wailing.

Sonic picked him up, "There, there. Uncle Sonic's here."

He calmed a little, his stomach growled.

"You must be hungry." Sonic said. He went back to Shadow, "Do you have anything for this little guy to eat?"

Shadow nodded and got a bottle. "Here"

Sonic held the baby out to Shadow. Shadow took him and sat to feed him. The baby sucked on the bottle, filling his belly. Sonic sat beside them.

Shadow was hiccupping, trying to hold back his sobs, "I can't do this Sonic." He whispered, "Not without Rouge."

Sonic sighed, "Shadow, think about your Son, he needs you."

"I know but..."

"But nothing. Are you really gonna walk out on him? He's only a few hours old."

Shadow sighed, he knew Sonic was right, "I'm not."

"Besides, you'll always have part of Rouge with you. See look, he has her eyes."

Shadow smiled, "Thanks Sonic." "So what's his name?"

"JayJay."

Sonic smiled, "I'm sure he'll make you proud."
