Chapter Three

Shadow and Sonia made a very good couple- believe it or not. He did everything for her, and made everything she wanted possible. But Sonia was scared of what others would think, especially her older brother.

They sat in Sonia's little home that Tails had built for her in the woods near the workshop, cuddling close together. Shadow's arm was spread out over her head making her rest her head on his chest. It was a sweet sight, and nothing comes close to it.

There was silence. The television was on a station which drew both of them in a trance. Moving closer, Sonia began to speak.

"Shadow…" she mumbled his name softly, and Shadow looked down at her. "I was wondering, why don't we get a bigger house, I mean this one is too small for the baby" she stated sweetly. Shadow smiled back at her, with a slight nod of his head. He was agreeing with her, and this made her happy.

"When do you want me to start building?" Shadow asked causally, pulling her closer to his side. But this made her ears pop up slightly.

"No silly, we can just buy one…I have money from my mother" she smiled widely and he shrugged in response.

"If that's what you would like"

"Yes it would" she hugged him tighter and Shadow closed his eyes feeling the rush of a little pink hedgehog squeezing him tightly from a morning greet. Eek. "What's wrong?" she looked at him worriedly as his face cringed.

"Uh…nothing"

Sonia sighed at him, giving up.

"Ok"

The two of them hugged happily, on the rough brown sofa watching the rest of their show. She was happy, and her brother could see that, as he was watching from the window. He had peeked in to see what was going on, only to catch the two sitting comfortably on the sofa.

He sighed. Him and Amy never did that? Was he jealous? No! Not of his rival! He was in love with Amy and nothing could change that! He paused.

He left Amy at home, after a massive outburst which wasn't her fault. He growled at himself, picturing Amy packing her bags and leaving him. He then turned back to the window and sighed, leaving the happy couple be, he went off back home to find his precious Amy.

It was getting darker, the clouds were being dragged across the sky by the wind and the sun began to fall down. And yet Amy waited patiently along with her friend Tails. They both sat at the kitchen dining table drinking hot chocolate and talking about the little baby Knuckles and Rouge had made together.

"It's so romantic…and he is so adorable" Amy giggled sipping her cup of hot chocolate. She rested her hands on the table after placing her cup and smiled back at the little yellow fox. "So what you planning Tails?" she asked him.

He looked up at her and blushed.

"I'm planning to go to that new school that's being made in the town, I think it can really increase my knowledge" he smiled at her, and she blinked back at him.

"Wow, you really want to do that? But your so clever already" she said.

Tails just looked at her with a smile.

"Amy, I didn't even know what blue and pink colours would make" this made her giggle.

"Not many people do…doesn't mean you're not smart. You can make machines, planes…your intelligent" she stated this quickly, making him stand up from his seat.

"I know Amy…I just want to do more. Anyway I have to go" he gave her a wave and began to walk out from the door where he was greeted by his best friend.

"Sonic! Where have you been?" he asked loudly. The hedgehog shrugged, scuffing his buddy's hair on his head and yawning. "Sonic?"

"I'm tired mate, besides I need to see someone" he gave him a wink and Tails gulped slowly, leaving him be while Sonic entered.

Amy heard him enter, and quickly jolted upstairs to bed. But he caught her.

"Amy"

She turned and looked at him, feeling like a princess in her castle. She was on the steps heading to bed, and he was looking up at her with a sad face.

"Sonic" she replied.

"Are you…upset with me?" he wondered, stepping closer to her. But she stepped up, keeping the distance.

"I'm going to bed Sonic…be free to use the sofa" she turned on her heel and made her way up to her room making him sigh.

The sofa.

He gave it a quick look, shaking his head in disgust. There was no way he was sleeping on the sofa. He was going to sleep in his bed! He made his way up the stairs, making no sound as he entered the room.

Expecting her to be in bed, she was there, getting changed and brushing her teeth in the non-suite.

"Any reason you're here?" she asked simply, switching the tap off. He shrugged and looked at her, feeling guilty.

"Amy…let me talk to you properly" he made his way over to her, but she stopped him, pushing her hand in front.

"Why? You're just gonna tell me what I already know Sonic" she knew he was going to explain it, but he didn't know she already knew.

"No…it's something different. You don't know it" he looked at her, holding his hand out, and brushing it along her face. "You're so beautiful when you're angry with me" he leaned in to kiss her, but she turned her head.

"Sonic, I know what you're going to say…but it's not your decision. This is yours, concentrate on it" she points at her stomach and glares at him but he shakes his head.

"I'm trying…"

"No you're not; you're too focused on Sonia's baby than your own!"

"I'm not"

"Fine, where were you then?"

He stops.

"You've made my point Sonic. You were spying on them weren't you?"

He doesn't move.

"Sonic! Just leave them alone! Leave him alone…Shadow is no threat to you" she watches him clench his fists and a shiver flows through her body. "Sonic…please"

His fists clench harder, and his quills tense as he looks directly into her eyes. She's worried, and scared.

"Sonic, I love you…but please" he watches her mouth move. So soft looking, pink and plum, makes him relax. Makes him want to lean forward and kiss her forcefully…

"Amy…" he leans forward, trying his luck; he opens his mouth slightly to lock his mouth with hers. But once again she pulls away.

"Sonic!"

He stops and looks at her, his hands drop as he grabs her forcefully, keeping her at his range. He pushes close to her and smiles, smelling the fresh scent of fruit.

"I love you Amy" he leans in, kissing her with force and she drops back, making him catch her. "Whenever you fall, I'm here to catch you" he winked at her and she smiled, holding his face.

"My blue hero…what will I do with you?" she giggled and he smiles back.

"I have an idea…"
