Chapter 26. Longawaited awakening.
~Half of month later~
Shadow woke up again in the same ward. When he awoke, he sighed deeply, looking at Sonic.
- When you'll wake up, my little angel, - said Shadow once again and, as usual, took Sonic's hand.
But this time something unexpected happened. Shadow felt that Sonic's hand weakly squeezed his one.
- Sonic? - Shadow looked at him, but Sonic was still not awake.
- He probably wants to give me a sign, - Shadow smiled.
A few hours later Sonic finally woke up. At first he didn't know where he is and what was going around, but then put his hand on his stomach. It seemed to him that it was a little larger than when he remembered the last time. Then he heard the voice of his lover, calling him.
Sonic turned his head wearily to the side and saw that it was Shadow actually. He weakly smiled at him.
- Hi, - Sonic whispered.
- Sonic...finally you woke up, - smiled Shadow with happiness.
- What happened? - Sonic asked.
- You don't remember?
Sonic tried to remember. He immediately as if saw Mephiles' face in front of him and again, now terrified, looked at Shadow.
- Mephiles...he...
- You don't have to worry about him anymore, - said Shadow. - He will never disturb us again.
Sonic sighed with relief and rubbed his rounded belly.
- How long am I here? - He asked.
- Sonic...just don't worry...okay? Month and a half, - Shadow admitted.
- What? - Sonic jumped in surprise, but immediately laid down because he felt dizzy.
- Sonic, please, calm down, - asked Shadow. - You can hurt not only yourself.
- I just can't believe it, - Sonic whispered. - I slept entire six weeks?
- Yes, - sadly said Shadow. - You've been in coma.
Sonic closed his eyes. He felt exhausted. For six weeks...he was in coma.
Soon, Sonic thought about something and opened his eyes again.
- Shadow, - he asked. – Can we find the gender of our children?
- Actually, - Shadow smiled, - the doctor has checked it two weeks ago.
- Yes? And who are they? - Sonic asked impatiently.
- A boy and a girl, - Shadow smiled.
Sonic was happy. Soon he was going to give birth and a son, and daughter at the same time.
Sonic still managed to sit down with Shadow's help, and he looked into his ruby eyes. Those eyes...They expressed the love, devotion, protection for him and their children...He gently put his arms around Shadow and soon felt that he was wrapped by Shadow's arms, too. How Sonic missed his strong, but at the same time a gentle embrace...They soon moved away from each other and kissed passionately again...
