Chapter 6 - The First Trimester

*4 Weeks Pregnant*
(1 month)

Amy's P.O.V.

Me and Rouge were out shopping, searching for comfy buggies, toys and cots for the new baby. Honestly, I was really excited and so happy that Sonic agreed to be supportive and not demand for the baby to be aborted. Maybe this child would be the saving grace, key and the glue we needed to keep this marriage together. Sonic and Knuckles came with us but they were doing their own shopping.

Since our pregnancy announcement, I hadn't seen or heard from Shadow which was weird and unlike him. I knew he was mysterious but it was like he was avoiding me. Avoiding the both of us in fact.

"It sucks that you're not going to be able to drink anymore babe. I'm gonna miss drinking with you," Rouge complained to me. I chuckled slightly.

"Don't worry Rouge, I'll be drinking in about 8 months!" I exclaimed. We both laughed and looked at each other with longing eyes. "My life is going to change so much after this baby is born. I hope I don't ghost out of everyone's lives like Shadow did." I joked. Rouge laughed worriedly.

"I hope you don't too. Speaking of Shadow, I need to tell you something about him." She informed me.

"Go on."

"He told me that -"

When she started to speak, Sonic and Knuckles raced towards us with multiple bags in their hands. I and Rouge stifled a laugh. "Babe, are you hungry?" Sonic asked me. In all honesty, I wasn't until he asked me.

"I am a bit babe, why?" I answered.

"There's an ice cream parlour near the cinema. Do you guys wanna go and eat there?" Knuckles questioned. Rouge and I looked at each other, nodding and walking with them. To be honest, I was craving ice cream with sweets for a very long time but I didn't want to seem like a crazy bitch.

We all walked to the ice cream parlour when I saw a black figure. I looked back, thinking it was Shadow but it had disappeared by the time I did. Maybe I was just seeing things. Sonic noticed me turning back and gave me a strange look. "Nothing Sonic don't worry." I reassured him, squeezing his hand. In a way, I really did wish it was Shadow...

After an hour of eating at the ice cream restaurant, we said our byes to each other and went back home. As we were walking up the driveway, we saw Shadow at our front door. Erm...

"Shadow what the fuck? Why are you just standing there?" Sonic asked him. I was petrified. What the actual heck was he doing here?

"I need to talk to Rose." He answered. I raised an eyebrow and Sonic gave us the dirtiest look ever. "I'm not asking for permission by the way."

"I'll be right back baby," I reassured him, kissing his forehead. He didn't react or say anything and just walked inside, closing the door. I felt incredibly guilty and also really pissed off.

Shadow and I walked to a nearby park and sat down on the swings. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you just stand at our front door like that?" I shouted.

"You need to do something for me." He simply stated.

"You didn't answer my question Shadow? WHY WERE YOU STANDING THERE! If you needed me, why didn't you call me or text me?! You have my number don't you?"

"Do a DNA test." I stared at Shadow in awe. Soon after, I burst out laughing. When I noticed that his face was as straight as a ruler, I instantly stopped.

"This must be a joke. Are you being serious right now?" I questioned. Shadow didn't even flinch which made me even more angry. "Okay, I don't know what's up with you but I have to go back to my husband now. Besides, I don't even know what DNA test you're talking about." I stated. When I started walking away, he abruptly grabbed my hand and our faces were dangerously close. "Y-You don't need to grab me like that -"

"Do a DNA test for our baby." He demanded.

"Are you mad? OUR baby?! Listen I think it's best if we just keep our distance. It's clear that you have some type of obsession with me and it'll be best if we cut off all contact." I stated, removing my hand from his and walking away. As I was walking away, he muttered something under his breath but it was loud enough for me to hear.

"That baby is mine."

*8 Weeks Pregnant*
(2 months)

"Oh shit baby; are you okay?" Sonic asked me.

My morning sickness was off the roof. I couldn't stop throwing up; it felt like my internal organs and cells were going to come up with the food I had last night. Between morning sickness and alcohol sickness, I didn't know which one was worse. At times I felt so weak and it had been pointed out by my friends that I looked really pale at times. A sad life is the best life in this instance.

Today was just maddening. My body couldn't physically leave the bathroom, let alone the toilet seat. Sonic kept coming in and out to comfort me and get me water but the smell was making him feel sick too. Gosh, I had no idea pregnancy was this hard. No matter what you ate, it would always come back up. It was disgusting and painful at the same time.

After what seemed like an hour of throwing up my insides, I managed to slither out of the bathroom and climb onto the sofa, wrapping myself with a blanket. I was colder than Russia.

"Babe you really don't look too good. Should we go to the hospital?" Sonic questioned. I shook my head.

"No I'll be fine babe. Remember this is what the doctor said to us about the symptoms." I replied, snuggling into him. "Although, some paracetamol would help." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and went to the kitchen. I was checking my phone when I saw a message from an unknown source.

If you know what's best for you, you'll tell Sonic the truth. Otherwise I will ruin your precious family.

I was mortified. This could only have been from one person.

Shadow.

I dialled his number angrily, waiting for him to pick up. When he finally picked up, I didn't even let him have a chance to breathe. "Listen you pathetic asshole. What part of DO NOT MESSAGE ME OR CONTACT ME don't you understand? Now you want to threaten me with bullshit messages? If you EVER get into contact with me again, I will gladly call the police and make sure you're in jail. I hope that is clear enough for you to understand."

"Rose I-"

As soon as I heard my name, I cut off the phone immediately. I was not prepared to start listening to the bullshit that he was about to spit out. I threw my phone on the chair, waiting for my husband's warm arms again. The nerve of that freak.

The absolute nerve.

Rouge's P.O.V.

Knuckles and I couldn't stop laughing. She was so MAD! I had never heard Amy so mad like that and I'm glad I hadn't because that was hysterical. "We should have done this a long time ago!" I said to Knuckles breathlessly. He couldn't even respond because he was so red and out of breath. "We should prank call Shadow next."

Sonic's P.O.V.

This pregnancy journey was really stressful for me. We were only eight weeks in but it felt like an eternity. I didn't know how I would be able to cope for seven more months. Damn that sounded long.

In all honesty, I wasn't ready to have a baby. The possibility wasn't ruled out but now wasn't the best time. To be honest, I didn't know when was the best time but I wanted to be as supportive as I could, as a partner and as a husband.

Amy's morning sickness wasn't doing me any favours. I really wanted to get back to work and escape all the vomiting and the mood swings but something in me was telling me not to. There were times that she was really ill, pale as a white bed sheet and weaker than a feather. It worried and scared me how she was going through all this, which only made me not to leave her side even more.

There were so many questions I had to ask her though. Why was Shadow on our doorstep that day? Why was he so angry when we announced our pregnancy? And why did they act so awkward around each other? I had noted all these things down and decided to ask those questions at a later date when she was better. The one thing I had to do was to find Shadow and ask him why he was being weird as well. He should have moved on years ago.

It just didn't make sense to me.

Amy was peacefully sleeping on the bed. She was so beautiful and angelic when she wasn't talking or throwing up. Instead of doing some investigation like I originally planned, I crawled into the bed with her and fell asleep on her chest. Hopefully this pregnancy would pass quickly...

*12 Weeks Pregnant*
(3 months)

Amy's P.O.V.

I was coming up to the end of my first trimester and I was going for my ultrasound with Sonic and Rouge today. Boy, I was excited! I noticed a cute tiny baby bump when I looked in the mirror and I squealed in excitement. "Sonic come!" I called. He rushed into the room looking tense. "Look at my stomach!" I told him, excitedly.

"What about it?" He responded. I noticed he didn't look as interested as I did, making me frown a bit. He noticed this and changed his tone of voice. "Sorry Amy I'm just so worked up about this ultrasound."

"It's okay. We should call Rouge and probably start heading off now," I replied with a disappointed tone. I walked out the room and went downstairs, not caring if he was calling me or not. I got my phone and sent Rouge a message, telling her we were ready to leave. Almost instantly, she responded saying she was waiting for us outside. I grabbed my bag and my coat and got in the car with her. To be honest, Sonic didn't need to come with us as he would ruin the vibe like he did now.

"Where Sonic hun?" Rouge asked me.

"He's not coming, let's go. The appointment is in ten minutes anyway."

"Hello again Miss Rose. I see your husband didn't come with you this time?" The nurse Patricia said to me.

"No he didn't want to come." I simply said. She raised an eyebrow in suspicion but dismissed my statement. We followed her into the hospital room and she instructed me to lie down on the bed so she could put the ultrasound gel on my stomach and see where the baby is.

"Hmm that's strange. I can't see or hear anything." She said to me. I gave Rouge an anxious look and she returned it.

"What does that mean?" Rouge queried.

"I'm not exactly sure but it doesn't seem normal." She informed us. Then I started to get really bothered. Maybe I had a miscarriage? Oh no. What if all this Sonic and Shadow stress had led to that? I was terrified now. Maybe -

"Oh don't worry. I can see the baby now. I can hear the heartbeat too and it looks nice and healthy." Patricia said, interrupting my thoughts. A sigh of relief rushed both Rouge and me. All of a sudden, Patricia started beaming. "It looks like it has some company."

"Company? What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.

"It seems like you're having twins."

I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It took me weeks to have an idea on what to write; I had writer's block for a while so sorry if this chapter seems rushed. The good news is that my school has closed due to the coronavirus so you can expect more chapters from me! Let me know what you think :)
