Chapter Nine
Note: Here's chapter nine! I am going to type up Emilie's pregnancy in one chapter mostly because I don't feel like typing it in two chapters because my ideas don't give that much. I own none of the characters except for Emilie.
As Emilie's pregnancy progressed into weeks and then months her mood swings got out of hand. Most of the anger from her mood swings she directed towards Shadow. Shadow's missing clumps of fur became more frequent. Presently Shadow 'disappeared' every time Emilie had a mood swing. Shadow wasn't the only one who got his fur torn out by clumps, her best friends Sonic and Knuckles also where a part of the fur tearing. Everyone tried to stay out of her way when she got angry all of a sudden. Neither Amy nor Cream visited that often. Knuckles visited two times a week.
It was early in the morning, by now Emilie was in the last day of her pregnancy her belly was the size of a watermelon. Shadow was sitting on the couch uninterestedly watching a show on the TV. Emilie sat besides him and cuddled against his chest. Suddenly she had one of her dangerous bad mood swings and started attacking Shadow without any provocation. Shadow was startled out of his wits by the sudden mood swing and took the chaos emerald hidden in his quills out.
"Chaos Control!" With a flash of light Shadow was gone causing her to fall over. Sonic peeked his head out of the kitchen as he heard the commotion, chuckling softly. Sonic came out of the kitchen later and gave Emilie a milkshake as he sat down to watch TV.
"Thanks Sonic." She said as she sipped the drink.
"No problem." Sonic responded. Once Shadow though things had calmed down a bit he came back. Usually Emilie's anger lasted for a few minutes and only occurred once a day. Shadow sat down besides her.
"Hey Shadow where did you go?" Emilie asked as she laid her head on his chest.
"For a walk." He said softly putting a gloved hand on her bloated belly. Emilie smiled and placed her hand over his.
"I love you." She whispered softly into Shadow's ear. This caused him to grin slightly.
"Love you too." Shadow whispered back to her. The doorbell rang suddenly ruining the moment between the two lovers.
"That's must be Knuckles. I'll get it." Sonic said as he got up to open the door. It was in fact Knuckles. Emilie groaned softly causing all the male's eyes to shift towards her.
"What is it Emilie?" Shadow said worriedly rubbing the girl's bloated stomach.
"I think its time Shadow." She responded.
"How do you know?" Sonic asked.
"I read it in a book." Emilie responded as she groaned again. Shadow picked her up into his arms, and headed out the door. Sonic and Knuckles followed behind as Shadow used his jet shoes to effortlessly skate over to the hospital Sonic kept up with him easily. Once they arrived at the hospital Emilie was attended to quickly.
"I don't like this Shadow." She looked over at her lover who stood next to the bed. Sonic and Knuckles stayed behind in the waiting room.
"It will be over soon." Shadow assured her.
"I hope you're right Shadow." She said as she grabbed the black and red hedgehog's hand tightly. After a while it was indeed time for the baby to be born, no one knew what will come out of her womb.
The room she was in was filled with screams and swearing most of the swearing was directed at Shadow whose hand was being crushed by the deathly grip of his lover. Shadow's ears where pressed back against his head as she screamed and swore. Then finally it was over. There was silence even from the doctors which caused both parents some concern.
"Is everything okay Doc?" Emilie asked breathlessly.
"Everything is fine." The doctor said awed.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby boy…hedgehog." The doctor said.
"What?!" Shadow and Emilie both said surprised. The doctor handed the baby to Emilie. The kid was almost like a miniature version of Shadow except its fur was dark brown. The baby had red stripes just like his father; its quills were also like his father's. Its features where unlike Shadow's kind looking like it's mother's. When the kid opened its eyes both Emilie and Shadow where amazed at the kid's eye color its eyes where a mix of both violet and crimson.
"Doctor can I got home?" Emilie asked the doctor who nodded.
"Let me get the papers I'll be back in a second." The doctor said as he walked out of the room. Emilie looked at Shadow in wonder as she held the child.
"How did this happen." She wondered out loud. Shadow said nothing as he placed a hand against her back when she had sat up. The doctor came back quickly with the release papers.
"Let's go show Sonic and Knuckles!" She chirped when they had finished with the papers.
"Sure." Shadow said as he helped her up, she leaned against him exhaustedly and they made their way towards the waiting room.
Sonic and Knuckles stood up when they spotted the couple and walked up to them.
"The baby?" Sonic asked and Knuckled nudged his side. Emilie smiled and uncovered the baby slightly so her two best friends could see. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
"How is it possible?" Knuckles pondered. The happy parents shrugged and they all made their way home.
