Chapter Seven

Note: Here's chapter Seven people. And thanks for the 116 hits on this story as well as the reviews I've gotten. Now I decided to post the surprise in this chapter so my other surprise can take place.

"S—Shadow?" Emilie tried again. Still no answer came for the black and red hedgehog, but suddenly without any warming Shadow grabbed Emilie's arm in a tight grip taking out a chaos emerald he had hidden in his quills.

"Chaos Control!" Shadow said and with a flash of light both he and the girl were gone.

"What the..?" Sonic said bewildered. At the spot where his new friend and his rival where just seconds ago.

"That insane little hedgehog…"Knuckles didn't even finish the sentence and crossed his arms over his chest. Sonic and his friends each looked at each other in silence.

"Well we should go back to my house in case that's where they'll show up later." Sonic said as he made his way to the door. His friends followed suit. When they arrived at Sonic's house each took a seat on the couches to wait for the couple to return from wherever Shadow had taken them. It was really late at night. All five of them fell asleep until they were woken up by a bright light shining in the living room about at midday the next day which was followed by Shadow and a disvelished looking Emilie, who immediately collapsed on the couch in between Sonic and Knuckles who looked at her worriedly.

"Emilie are you ok? You're sweating" Sonic asked the girl as he placed a hand on her forehead.

"Shadow what did you do to her?" Knuckles asked looking at the hedgehog who held an surprisingly innocent look.

"That was awesome." She said between heavy breaths.

"We were just playing a game." Shadow said as he took a seat on a recliner chair.

"Just playing a game you say." Sonic said suspicion written all over his face.

"What kind of game?" Knuckles asked Shadow. Looking over at Emilie. He happened to notice all the bite marks on her neck.

"The s—hmmph" Emilie's voice was muffled by Shadow's gloved hand. They all looked suspiciously at Shadow. Sonic scooted over to the armrest as Shadow sat besides Emilie.

"I think I just figured out…" Knuckles began but stopped looking over at Shadow whose ear twitched as Emilie was poking at it. Knuckles gaze fell again on Emilie's neck as did the others.

"Am not even going to say it though…I might have scarred myself for life by thinking about it." Knuckles said as he put a hand over his eyes. The others soon caught on to what he meant and fell silent.

"Shadow...you didn't do it did you?" Tails asked almost afraid. Shadow maintained silent and the other's too his silence as a yes. Tails, Amy and Cream all went into the kitchen leave the others alone. Emilie acted as if nothing had happened and continued to mess with Shadow's ears before she moved on to messing with the tuft of fur on his chest. Shadow ignored everything around him. Until a pancake covered in syrup stuck to his belly. Knuckles, Sonic and Emilie stared at him nervously as the black and red hedgehog opened his eyes.

"Run!" Sonic yelled as he ran to hide in his room. Knuckles grabbed Emilie and hid in a corner. Knuckles watched silently as Shadow peeled the pancake off and stopped over to the kitchen. A few screams and the sound of plates breaking were heard. Sonic peeked his head out and tip-toed over to the kitchen. Knuckles shook his head at the blue hedgehog. He went into the kitchen and ran out followed by an angry black and red hedgehog.

"Get out of here!" Sonic shouted at Knuckles who nodded and rand outside with Emilie. Shadow saw this and his rage multiplied thus he ran after Knuckles. Emilie shrieked as she spotted the angry hedgehog from over Knuckles's shoulder.

"He's gaining on us! Run faster." Emilie yelled at Knuckles.

"Are you yelling because you're scared or because you are enjoying this?" Knuckles asked the girl.

"Both…I think he's gotten territorial after you know…" Emilie whispered to Knuckles. Shadow was suddenly gliding effortlessly behind the echidna. Emilie jumped out of Knuckles's arms and ran away from the two enjoying this little game they were playing. Shadow immediately followed her.

"Sonic!" She yelled to the blue hedgehog that ran past Shadow grabbing Emilie. She squeaked as Sonic picked her up and high-speed.

"You're having fun here aren't you?" Sonic asked. Emilie nodded.

"Much fun." Emilie giggled. She looked over the blue hedgehog's shoulder to see Shadow heading straight for them.

"He's coming!" She said to Sonic. Shadow glided up behind Sonic and attempted to grab Emilie.

"Sonic!" She yelled besides the hedgehog's ear loudly in mock fright, causing Sonic to loose his balance and Emilie ended up literally flying out of Sonic's arms.

"Wee!" She screamed both from entertainment and fright. Luckily she landed safely in Shadows arms. She kissed his cheek and giggled.

"That was so fun Shadow!" She said nuzzling the hedgehog making him smile one of his rare smiles. Knuckles and Sonic walked up to them.

"Apparently she has fun when you're enraged." Knuckles said with a blink. They all went back to the house and Emilie rushed to the bathroom while the others sat again on the couches. After ten minutes a faint scream was heard causing Shadow's and Sonic's ears to perk up.

"Did you hear that?" Shadow asked.

"I did." Sonic replied. A very surprised Emilie walked into the room and stopped in front of Shadow.

"Shadow?" Emilie asked playing shyly with a lock of her dark brown hair.

"Yes Emilie?" Shadow asked now curious.

"I—am…"She paused not knowing what to say.

"Go on Emilie." Shadow urged the girl. Emilie closed her eyes.

"I am pregnant." She said quickly not opening her eyes.

Dun Dun Dun how's that for a cliff hanger people…and also it was the surprise I was talking about. What will everyone's reaction be to this news? More importantly what will Shadow's reaction be? Stay tuned and find out in my next chapter!
