Chapter 10: Always a catch…..
Shadow was very, very shocked. He just sat next to her with his mouth open, looking very stunned. '……I'm going to be a dad…..' he thought. This is the best day of his life, he looked at Amy, and he expected her to smile at him because he was taking this very well, instead he saw her crying. He wondered why, this is supposed to be wonderful news but to Amy he guessed that this isn't very good news after all……
"What wrong?" he asked "This is wonderful news…" he said trying to cheer Amy up.
"……It would be wonderful news but…." She stopped mid sentenced and started to cry again….
"But?" Shadow said with a questioned look on his face.
"…..There is a chance that this baby isn't yours…." Amy's voice drifted away once more. Shadow realized what Amy was trying to say, 'there's always a catch' he thought, he growled a little. Amy was still crying then he heard Shadow growled, she instantly looked up at him and he realized what he was about to do…..
"I'll be right back…." He said in a low voice and using chaos control he disappeared out of the cave in search for a certain hedgehog…..
Meanwhile……
Sonic was at Tails's house, since he had wounds everywhere Tails carefully cleaned them up, but he couldn't help but wondering how he got all these wounds……
"Sonic…. How did you get so many wounds?" he asked innocently. Sonic took a while to answer but then he said a terrible excuse.
"……I just fell…." He replied, even Tails knew that he was lying but since he didn't want to start an argument so he just kept quiet.
"I'll go get some more bandages….." he said realizing that he run out of them. Sonic just kept quiet, he couldn't believe that he lost the battle with Shadow, for him it felt as if he lost Amy to him, he sighed, 'I can't be in her life anymore, she's with Shadow now…..', that thought kept in his mind while his other part of his mind refused to give in. When Tails exited the room, he was in silence for a few minutes, thinking of a way to get Amy back, but then there was a flash of light and before Sonic knew he saw Shadow standing in front of him once again…..
"Sonic…." Shadow said in a low voice. Sonic just stood up and walked towards him till they were only a couple of inches away.
"What do you want Shadow?" he said in also a low voice. "You already have Amy….What more could you want from me?" he asked. Shadow grinned for a few seconds then suddenly he grabbed Sonic by the throat and slammed his back against the wall. Sonic felt the impact of the wall slamming on his back, he winced and gasped…..
"Listen you….I just want to tell you that Amy is now pregnant," he said ignoring Sonic's attempt to breathe.
"……Congratulations….." Sonic managed to say, even though he was hurt when he heard this 'I'll never be Amy's life now…..' he thought to himself.
"But…." Shadow said looking at Sonic dead in the eye. Sonic wondered why he said 'but'?
"There is a chance that the baby is yours……" he said gritting through his teeth when he said this. Sonic eyes perked up, 'there is a chance….' He thought, he thanked god inside his head, but then he realized he didn't have any oxygen and once again struggled to breathe. Shadow had a choice to make, he could either kill faker right here, right now, or he could leave faker and return back to Amy. He really wanted to kill Sonic but then he thought, 'Perhaps if faker is the father, then I can't kill the baby's father no matter how much I hate him'. He sighed, and let go of Sonic's neck, he watched as Sonic slid down the wall and gasped for air, he sighed once more and disappeared again to return to his love.
Now back to Amy……
Amy was still in tears when Shadow disappeared leaving her alone, she wanted to find Shadow since she thought that Shadow might attack Sonic in his anger, but she couldn't go out in her condition, so she could only imagine what was happening…… A couple of minutes later shadow appeared once again in the cave with the normal look on his face (We all know what shadow is like) Amy immediately hugged him and cried in his chest, she felt helpless. Shadow hugged her back and gave her a convincing smile that it was okay.
"Where have you been Shadow?" Amy asked him.
"…….I have just been taking to faker….." he said. Amy gasped, usually when Shadow says 'I've been talking to faker' it actually means 'I've just beated the living hell out of faker'….
"What about, Shadow?" Amy asked him innocently. Shadow didn't reply, he just thought about the situation at hand. 'Could faker be the father of Amy's baby?' Amy sighed when Shadow didn't answer to her question so she came up with an idea……
"Perhaps we should talk to Sonic about this situation….." she decided. Shadow on the other hand wasn't so keen about talking to faker especially after what he did to him a couple of minutes ago, Amy would certainly get angry with him if she found out what he did to Sonic.
"…….We'll talk to him tomorrow….." Shadow said. Amy nodded and returned to the place where she sleeps, she put on blanket on the cave floor and one on top of herself, she did the same to Shadow and they both slept without a sound, knowing that the next day was going to be an exhausting one…….
