Maria's 2nd Chance

Chapter 2

Maria POV

I could only see darkness, until I finally opened my eyes. I was wrapped in a blanket, my vision was very blurry. I was then put in the arms of a pink hedgehog, she had green eyes. The hedgehog then smiled at me. "Hi my little one!" Said the pink hedgehog as she cuddled me, she must be my Mother, I tried to talk to her, but the only thing I could do was cry. "Awwww, You must be hungry, Daddy will give you a cuddle then I will feed you" Said the pink hedgehog.

Then Someone picked me up, I look straight at who just picked me up. It was black hedgehog with red highlights and ruby couloured eyes. "She is so beautiful." Said the black hedgehog as his eyes swelled up with tears. I had only just been born, but I some how regonised this hedgehog. As the Black hedgehog cuddled me, I snuggled against his white chest fur.

Shadow POV

I was now a Father, my journey that has made me who I am today started 5 years ago. 5 years ago, I found Amy sitting under a tree in the forest crying. back then I was much harder than I am today, but for some reason something inside made go over to her to see why she was crying.

I asked; "Amy, what's wrong?" She replied; "Why would you even care, Shadow!" I was about to walk away until Amy continued talking. She Added; "Shadow, Sonic broke my heart, He got Engaged to Sally." I then turned around to face her. I replied; "That's typical for Faker." She Replied; "I always thought Sonic loved me." She then continued crying. I then put my hand on her shoulder. I repied; "Don't worry about Sonic, I'm sure someone else is out there for you." She Replied; "Do you really think so Shadow?" I responded; "Yes, Amy." Then I walked away from her.

I really did'nt care about love, I thought it was just a make believe Emotion. I never ever thought I would fall in love, But getting Married and being a father was something I never imagined.

Then I kept bumping into Amy all the time, she was always chatting to me. We then started to fall in love. At first I could not figure out the Emotion I was feeling for Amy. I eventually told my work friend Rouge, how I was feeling, She told that I was in love. After Rouge told me I was in love, I told Amy how I was feeling about her. Amy then confessed she felt the same way about me. I went home ,then the next day, I worked up the courage to ask Amy out on a date.

She accepted the date, I then took her to a restaurant. That night I did the one thing I thought I would never do, I asked asked Amy to be my girlfriend. She said yes. I then eventually engaged and married Amy.

Then she fell pregnant, I always thought because I was not a natural born lifeform, I was infertile but I was wrong.

Now here I am holding my newborn Daughter for the first time. My Daughter looked at me, then suddenly my eyes swelled up with tears. "She is so beautiful." I say to Amy. My daughter's fur was cream coloured, she had quills and bangs like Amy, the tips of her quills and bangs were red, her skin was a peach colour and she had ruby coloured eyes like me. She then snuggled against my chest fur, as she curled up in a ball against my chest fur, I noticed something unusual. She had a red birth mark on her back, it looked just like a bullet wound. Seeing that made me feel sick. I then handed her back to Amy.

Amy then stared at the birth mark on our Daughter's back. "Look at that Birth mark." Said Amy. I replied; "I saw it, it makes me feel sick." Amy replied; "It looks like a bullet wound." I did not reply to her, seeing that birth mark instantly made me remember my past.

Amy then started to Breastfeed our little infant, as she fed from her mother, she happily wagged her little cream tail.

"Shadow, is it alright to name our Daughter Maria?" Asked Amy. I was quite surprised that Amy suggested that we name our Child after my late Friend. I replied; "That is the most perfect name for her" I then smiled at Amy and Maria. "Alright, her name is now Maria Rose the Hedgehog." Said Amy. "It's perfect." I say to Amy.

After Maria finished feeding, Amy placed Maria in the plastic hospital crib. As Maria layed in the crib, she kept staring at me. I then picked her up, I her gave her a hug. Then I put her back in the crib, Maria then started crying. "Please Maria, I need to rest." Responded Amy.

I then picked up Maria again, She stopped crying then she snuggled against my chest fur again. She then fell asleep in my arms, as she slept in my arms I made a promise to her. "Maria, I will always protect you." I whispered to my little one. I look to see what Amy was doing. Amy had now fallen to sleep. I sat down on a chair with Maria asleep in my arms.

I thought Amy had bought a soft side to me, but Maria has shown me that I now have a even softer side.
