Here it is guys, the first part is here. This is a prologue and there are going to be roughly 5-7 parts to the Prologue. I have enjoyed writing this up, I was meant to upload this a while ago, a friend of deviantART really wanted to read this, her Sonic Fan Character is in the story too. I hope that you enjoy SonicaSteel2099! And I certainly hope that you enjoy it too. This is my primary fan fiction, this is a story. I do not own anything to do with Sonic, he belongs to SEGA. Some of the characters in the story however are my creations, my brother's and Sonica's . This is rated T to M. I hope that you enjoy.

A thunderclap boomed across the streets of Station Square. A shower of rainwater quenched the thirst of the plants, and filled the drains to the brink as many of the city's inhabitants were running for shelter. One in particular was the world-famous Shadow the Hedgehog, of who had just returned from a press conference to do with Eggman's absence. Eggman had not attacked anywhere for three months, the longest that he has gone without attacking was two weeks.
Shadow went through his grey jeans and found his keys; he opened his door, entered his two-story house and sighed with relief. The soaked hedgehog took off his black coat and sat on his couch. Five minutes later, a thirst made itself known; the tired black hedgehog stood up and moved into the kitchen.

"I'll just have a coffee." Shadow said to himself. Shadow poured cold water into his red kettle and waited five minutes for it to boil. When it did, he poured the boiling water into a black cup. Shadow stirred the liquid and was about to take a sip when a knock sounded. Shadow frowned and put his cup on the side. Shadow walked up to the door and looked through the eyepiece and saw no-one on the other side.
"Damn kids." Shadow cursed. He turned away and somehow heard a baby's cry. Shadow paused and turned back to the door. He placed his ear onto the wooden door and heard the cry again. Shadow opened the door and looked around, nothing. The cry happened once again and it came from below him. Shadow looked down to find a little black hedgehog wrapped up in a grey blanket, the baby looked somewhat like Shadow. Shadow knelt down and studied the baby. It had black fur, it had peach skin, on his stomach and chest, and his arms were peach as well, as was his mouth. The spike direction was the same as Shadow's, curved upwards. It was soaked form the rain. Shadow picked the baby up and looked around the street once more; there was nobody outside at this time of night. Shadow walked back inside and wondered what to do with him. When Shadow looked back at the baby, it was fast asleep. Shadow smiled,
"Must be from all that crying." Shadow chuckled.
Shadow sat down on a chair with his coffee and watched the slumbering black-furred baby.
"Now, what am I going to do with you?" Shadow asked himself. It was now midnight and Shadow felt himself begin to doze off. Half an hour later, he did. Four hours later, he awoke to the screams of the baby. Shadow didn't know what to do. Then, it came to him. Shadow ran to the refrigerator and scanned the levels of storage.
"Perfect!" Shadow blurted out, as he picked up a container of yogurt. Shadow grabbed a spoon from the draw and ran to the crying baby. Shadow carefully put the spoon in the baby's mouth and he immediately stopped crying, in fact, he was smiling with delight. Shadow smiled also, knowing that peace had been restored. Shadow sat back on his chair once he had finished feeding the baby. The tired hedgehog yawned and fell into another dreamless sleep.

The Sun's rays shone through the glass windows and onto the snoozing black and salmon hedgehog's face. After a minute or two, He started to wince at the bright light of the sunrise. The hedgehog moved over and fell onto the floor with an oof. The spiked male stood to his feet stiffly with his hand on his forehead. He shook his pain off and stretched, every joint in his body clicked, the now relaxed hedgehog sighed with relief.
"There we go, much better." He said to himself. Shadow then turned around and found a baby on the sofa.
"What the- oh yeah." He remembered. Shadow looked at the clock on the wall, 8 o'clock it read.
"Hm." Shadow thought for a moment and then looked at the baby who was fast asleep. "I'll need to get the proper food for 'em. And transport like a buggy. But I don't want to have to carry him all over the place. I'll call Sonic and Amy; they've recently got together so this'll be their first taste of parenting, if they even get that far." Shadow dialled Sonic's number and he picked up,
"Hey Shadow is something wrong?" Sonic said a little concerned, "You never really call unless something serious was happening, the last time you did that was when Eggman last attacked, is he back?" Sonic asked.
"No. Listen, I've got a favour to ask you." Shadow said.
"Shoot."
"Well, could you and Amy come over and look after something?" Shadow asked.
"Like what?"
"You'll see it when you get here, so will you?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Because you're a faker?" Shadow chuckled.
"C'mon Shadow, I thought that we passed that?" Sonic frowned.
"I know it's just funny sometimes. Oh and thanks. Bye."
"See ya in five." Sonic hung up. Shadow put down his phone and looked at the snoozing baby.
"They're going to be in for a real surprise." Shadow smiled.

The door knocked at 8:12am, Shadow opened the door and saw Sonic and a beautiful Amy Rose. Shadow turned to Sonic,
"You're late."
"Well, you know what they say," Amy moved, "you can't rush perfection." She looked at Sonic. "Isn't that right Sonikku?" Amy winked.
"Ames I thought that we were done with pet names." Sonic frowned.
"Not in a million years! I love calling you that as well, especially in certain situations." Amy lent closer to Sonic with her semi-closed eyes.
"So, what was it that you needed Shadow?" Sonic changed the subject abruptly.
"Oh right, come on in." Shadow walked into his house as did Sonic and Amy.
"Now, this might be a bit of a shock." Shadow looked at the still sleeping baby. Sonic's jaw dropped. Amy however, screamed with joy and hugged Shadow,
"It's so cute! I just can't believe that he's yours."
"Are you saying that I didn't have it in me?" Shadow pulled Amy off of himself waiting a response.
"No, well…" Amy's silence meant 'Yes'. Shadow frowned. Amy went to the baby who had just woken. His red shining eyes stared at Amy's lime-green eyes.
"He has your eyes Shadow, and your spikes!" Amy felt the baby's spikes, and he sneezed. Amy smiled.
"Where's the mom?" Sonic asked.
"No idea, I found him on my doorstep in the storm last night. I couldn't find anyone, let alone his parents. I'm glad I opened the door when I did, he was soaked." Shadow stared at the baby in Amy's arms.
"He has darker fur than you Shadow, that's very surprising." Amy said looking at the baby. At that moment, Shadow's eyes opened wider as if he had a great thought, and he did.
"Have you named him yet?" Sonic asked.
"I have now. Can I have him?" Shadow asked. Amy carefully placed the baby into Shadow's arms. "I'll call you Dark the Hedgehog." Shadow smiled, as did baby Dark.
"Dark, really?" Sonic mocked.
"It's a wonderful name!" Amy shouted, and turned away, "How rude."
"No it's alright; that's Faker for you." Shadow stared angrily at Sonic. Sonic looked at the floor,
"Sorry Shadow, I didn't know what I was saying. Tell you what; you can lay a couple of punches on me. What do ya say?" Sonic said.
"Nope, I've got something better in mind. You have to change Dark's diapers for a week, and I bet that there's going to be a lot of changing." Shadow chuckled.
"Fine." Sonic frowned.
"So you wanted us to look after baby Dark? Makes sense now." Amy said.
"I need to head to the store, and grab a few things. I'll see you later okay?" Shadow said walking out of the door.
