Chapter Ten

Note: Hey guys this is my last chapter of this story. I decided not to write the Funnies chapter. I don't own any of the characters except for Emilie.

It was mid morning of the second day Emilie sat on the floor of the living room with her baby in her lap. Shadow and the others were also sitting on the floor next to her.

"What are you going to name it?" Knuckles asked Emilie. Emilie put a finger on her chin.

"Hmm am going to name him…Sammie." Emilie giggled cuddling against Shadow. No one said anything for a few seconds mostly due to the death glare Shadow was giving the other three. Emilie scooted over to Knuckles.

"Sammie, this is your special uncle Knuckles." Emilie giggled; she faintly heard Shadow growl behind her but ignored it. The little hedgehog reached his arms out towards Knuckles.

"Aww he likes you Knuckles." Emilie giggled as she scooted back to Shadow's side. The black and red hedgehog looked oddly at his lover before putting an arm around the girl.

"Don't be mad Shadow you know Knuckles is my bestest friend." She whispered to the jealous hedgehog. Shadow looked at her and shook his head as he banished an evil thought. Emilie frowned at him and looked at Knuckles Tails and Sonic.

"I got an idea how about later tonight we all go out for a special dinner." Emilie offered to her friends and lover. Everyone murmured softly amongst each other before turning back to Emilie nodding and agreeing.

"So it's set then." Emilie said cheerily. She then turned to Shadow nudging him to get the attention of the black and red hedgehog.

"You get to go clothes shopping with me." She giggled softly latching onto the annoyed hedgehog's arm. Everyone else laughed softly. She got to her feet as did everyone else handing her baby to her best friend Knuckles. She was still latched onto her lover's arm as he made his way outside.

"Well be back soon…Hopefully." Shadow said sounding very unenthusiastic as he was now dragged out the door by his overly cheery lover.

The unusual couple returned 3 hours later their return was signaled by a loud endless trail of swearing, the owner of the loud swearing soon showed his face which wasn't at all happy. He was followed by an overly cheery human girl with a few bags in her hands.

"Looks like you guys too longer than expected." Sonic said from his spot on the couch.

"Shut up you blue fur ball." Shadow snapped.

"Someone is touchy."

"I said SHUT UP." Shadow said as he went over to the blue hedgehog and shoved him against a wall.

"Shadow…"Emilie said softly setting down the bags on the couch where Sonic was now plastered against the wall. Shadow took his kid from the arms of the echidna and stomped into his and Emilie's room. Emilie was currently helping Sonic un stick himself from the wall.

"Am sorry Sonic, I don't know what got into him." Emilie apologized.

"Don't worry about it he's mostly like that anyway." Sonic said dusting himself off.

"I don't think Shadow liked that shopping trip very much by the amount of obscenities he was muttering along the way home." Knuckles chuckled.

"I HEARD THAT!" They heard Shadow shriek. Emilie sighed and sat on the couch Knuckles sat down besides her.

"Don't worry about it Emilie he'll calm down soon." Knuckles said.

"Why don't you show us what you bought?" Tails offered.

"I think I know why he's mad. What I bought was very expensive and wiped him clean of money." Emilie said shyly as she took out a silky black dress from one of the bags letting everyone see it.

"Pretty isn't it?" Emilie said to the others who nodded in agreement. She also too out black high heeled shoes with a satin ribbon that wrapped around her ankle. There were a few murmurs in surprise and complement. The third bag she didn't bother with it saying it was a little something for Shadow and took the bag to the room which Shadow was currently residing angrily in. She entered the little room and placed the bag on a chair going over to the fuming hedgehog.

"Shadow don't be angry." Emilie said softly as she sat next to her lover on the bed. Shadow didn't speak.

"I won't take you shopping again." She said softly before getting up. Shadow stopped her from leaving the room by wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck.

"What do you want to do?" She asked the black and red hedgehog. Shadow didn't answer but resumed his assault on he neck nipping at her flesh. Emilie didn't say a word put playfully pulled at the hedgehog's ear causing him to growl.

"Now now Shadow behave." She warned her lover. She shrieked and ran outside the room running right into a worried looking Knuckles. The day passed the following with Knuckles trying to keep Shadow away from his own girlfriend until evening came. Everyone got all dressed up and headed over to a fancy restaurant of Emilie's choosing. Both Sonic and Knuckles promised to pay for it since Shadow had been wiped clean by an earlier shopping trip. The meal went on peacefully and with out any trouble until the entire wall their table was near was separated from the entire building and a mechanical hand reached in grabbing a startled black and red hedgehog and towing him away from the rest of the group. Emilie and the others stared bewildered after the struggling hedgehog and Emilie jumped out of her chair running after the mechanical hand the held her lover.

"SHADOW!!!" She screamed as the mechanical hand retracted back into a plane like thing she began to chase after it in order to get her boyfriend back but she was grabbed by her best friend.

"Its not use to follow Emilie." The echidna said as he tried to calm down the struggling girl they immediately went back home.

Two entire painful months later Shadow trudged badly injured through the door followed by Sonic and Tails who had arranged a rescue party once they found where Shadow had been dragged off to. Knuckles and a depressed Emilie where playing a game of catch the baby/Twister and they where entwined in a very awkward position as Cream threw Sammie to the two again. Emilie manages to catch her squealing child putting her and her best friend in an even more awkward position than they were already. Emilie giggled softly causing her best friend to chuckle. This was the first time the girl had laughed in two months.

"Knuckles you might want to get off her slowly and back away." Sonic said as his red and black counterpart stood badly injured and fuming besides Sonic.

"Sonic why must you be a party pooper?" Knuckles muttered. Shadow walked over to the couch where the two friends were playing and tapped Knuckles back.

"What!" He said as he turned to see who was bothering him and upon seeing Shadow he turned sheet white.

"S—Shadow!" Knuckles stammered.

"Can it, bug face." Shadow said as he grabbed the echidna and tossed him against with his remaining strength before he collapsed. Sonic and Tails quickly too him to the guest room that had become his and Emilie's room and wrapped his wounds over with bandages as Emilie helped to un stick the echidna from the wall.

"You ok Knuckles?" Emilie asked the dazed echidna.

"I'll be fine Emilie." Knuckles responded to the girl.

"Just wish he was less of an instant fuse."

"I hope he doesn't mind the party Sonic decided to throw tonight." Emilie said looking around.

"He'll be fine no harm done right he's injured anyway." Knuckles said.

Later on the guest Sonic invited started to arrive around 8 'o clock in the evening. Sonic had invited about a dozen people to his small house. It was around 10 'o clock when everyone started to dance. Since Emilie had no dance partner Knuckles filled in for the injured hedgehog. Soon the two friends had become in the spotlight or so to speak. Half an hour later everyone was silence by loud swearing coming from the guest room. The two friends stopped dancing, Knuckles hand a hand on her arm and his other arm was on her waist. The crowd parted to let the ill tempered hedgehog pass by. Shadow spotting Knuckles and Emilie stopped in his tracks and without any warning he pounced on the unsuspecting echidna and pounded the crap out of the animal before making his way to the kitchen and them back to the room ploughing right over the echidna as he did and shut the door to his room. Emilie shook her head and helped her friend up and sat him on the nearby couch. The party went on till one in the morning but by twelve Knuckles and Emilie had disappeared.

Emilie was woken up by a stinging sensation on her neck. She remembered passing out on the couch but them nothing. She blinked her eyes opened and immediately spotted a dark shape over her. It was to dark to tell who it was but she had a clue.

"Shadow?" She asked her voice was soft.

"Shh." She heard from besides her ear. The voice did not belong to Shadow but to someone she knew very well. It belonged to her best friend…Knuckles. She froze suddenly taking a good look around despite the darkness she figured out they were in Sonics basement.

"Knuckles? What are we doing down here?" She asked. Her friend said nothing, but she found herself falling unconscious again.

She woke again in the morning finding herself on the couch her best friend was nowhere to be seen. At the same time she woke up Shadow walked out of the room and walked over to his half awake lover. He frowned and smelled her over, his ears where now pressed back against his head and he growled. Once Knuckled trotted in from the direction of the basement Shadow immediately began a smack down beating the crap out of the startled echidna.

"What did I do?" Knuckles retorted as he pushed the angry hedgehog back. Shadow gave no answer. But trotted over to Emilie who watched him with a bewildered expression. The days passed as Shadow healed everyone was more or less happy. At the current moment Shadow, Emilie, Sonic, and Knuckles where posing for a picture. Shadow had his arms wrapped around Emilie while Sonic and Knuckles hand an arm wrapped around the couple's shoulder Emilie held Sammie and thus Cream who was holding the camera took the picture.
