Thanks for the reviews. All I have to say is keep it up, and you'll be getting more and more updates. So far, I've slept well for three nights in a row. Let's hope that it keeps up!
Anyway, the preview for this chapter must have gotten you all off-the-edge-of-your-chair, hm? If so, read below. I hope you enjoy it!

"Shadow?"
"Shadow?"
"Shadow!"
My eyes shot open for what seemed like the fifth time that night. I groaned and turned my head and looked at Skye, who was lying down near me. I groaned again and put my pillow over my head. Why did I have to let her sleep over? I thought.
"Jeez, Skye," I said irritated, "Do you always have to wake me up like that?"
Skye giggled and laid her head on my side, making shivers run up my spine. I was as comfortable with Skye as I was with anybody else, but I felt something more for her. Something…Sexual?
No, sexual was not the word I was looking for. Sure, I saw her in a sexy way, but that's not all I wanted with her. I wanted to spend my whole life with her, and to die with her.
Is that what love is?
"Yes, this is how I have to wake you up, sleepy-head," Skye said as she poked me in the nose.
"Ah," I said, pushing her off of me, "Leave me be!"
"Come on, Shadow! There's two days until Christmas, and we still haven't gotten anybody presents yet!" Skye said, "We have to go today!"
I looked at the time, which made me roll my eyes; "At eight-thirty in the morning?"
"Yes at eight-thirty in the morning!" Skye said, laughing, "Now, let's go, Shadow!"
"Christmas sucks!" I said as I rolled over and closed my eyes again.
Than I felt something hit me. I turned around, and Skye was sitting on top of me, smacking me with her pillow. That irritated me a lot.
"Okay, you asked for it!" I yelled as I pushed her off the bed and grabbed my pillow. Afterward, I jumped off of the bed and started hitting her with the pillow, and she fought back. We laughed and had a pillow war for a while.
Than when she got up, I pulled her onto the bed and climbed on top of her. I started kissing her neck, and she started moaning. But, as quick as it started, it finished.
"Shadow," Skye said as she pushed me off of her, "I need to take a shower."
Giggling, she got up and strutted, rather sexually to the bathroom, giving me this look.
"Fine," I said, "But don't expect me to come in there, you and your sexual wants."
Of course, I was being sarcastic on the last thing I said, since I was truly the one with the sexual needs.
I didn't usually take a shower, I usually just washed my hair with water and put on deodorant. So, I did not go into the shower with her, just waited her return in the bedroom.
-. . .-
After about fifteen minutes, she came out of the bathroom with a towel on. When she walked into the room, she told me to go, as she needed to get dressed. I walked out, but just as she was going to close the door, I ripped her towel down and took a good look at her.
"Nice physic," I said.
"You pervert!" Skye yelled, picking up a glass vase and chucking it at me, "Get out!"
I laughed and ran all the way down the stairs, never looking back once.
Once Skye was finished changing, she came downstairs where I was. She tackled me on top of the couch and started hungrily kissing my lips.
"I love you, Shadow," She said to me.
"I love you, too." I said back.
"Come on, let's go!" She said and took my hand, "We don't got a long time!"
"Ah, Skye?" I said, "The mall opens at ten, right?"
"Yeah!" She exclaimed. Jeez, I thought, No more coffee for you before bed.
"It's ten to nine." I said, very matter-of-factly.
"So? We'll go to the park or something," Skye said. I sighed and got up, knowing that I was beaten.
After putting my shoes on, I followed Skye out of the house and onto the street.
-. . .-
"Skye, why do you have to make such a thing over Christmas?" I asked. Skye and I were currently walking through the park, hand in hand, "I mean, I, for one, have not ever had a Christmas."
"Shadow, Christmas is about spending time with family," Skye said, "And,"
"Skye, I've never had a family," I started, causing Skye to stop in her tracks and just stare at me, "My parents were taken away when I was really young. Nobody wanted me either. I had to cope with myself all of my life."
"Shadow, you got us," Skye said.
"Yeah, but you're not family," I said.
Skye stopped talking and looked as if she were thinking. "Skye?"
"Shadow, I have to tell you something." She sternly stated.
"Alright, shoot." I said.
"Well," Skye said as she grabbed a seat on the nearest bench to us, "You know how I have been throwing up a lot lately?"
"Yeah, did you go to the doctor about it?"
"Yeah," Skye told me. This got me suspicious.
"And?"
"Shadow, I'm," Skye said and than took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant."
With that, she ran off toward her apartment.
I sat there in shock. My eyes widened and I started to shake a little. I was only in 12th grade, isn't this a little young? I Looked beside me and seen that Skye had run off, and knowing Skye, she was probably already home and balling her eyes out.
-. . .-
I knocked on her door for the fifth time that minute. After a wait that seemed like forever, the door opened, reveling Skye. Her eyes were red and puffy, and her fur was matted.
"Hi," I said.
Skye stepped aside and let me in her home. I took a seat on her couch and she sat next to me.
"Skye, look,"
"Shadow, should I get an abortion?" Skye asked, her voice quivering a lot.
"Skye, please don't." I said, "When we were first going to have sex, we talked about commitment ship, right?"
"Yeah," She said.
"Skye, commitment ship means sticking together, through better or worse," I said, "I really want you to have this kid."
Skye than broke down and started crying on my chest. I caressed her back and she seemed to calm down. Than I whispered in her ear, "Besides, having you and I raise a kid would be the best gift I could ask for."
