"
SHADOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Screamed Siberia , excremly loudly. Shadow
rushed over and took her hand , stroking it delicatly
" Don't
worry , don't worry , im here" he said gently , nervous on the
inside. Siberia looked up to him with a dazed look on her face and
tried to smile, but a strong contaction hit her and she fell back
into her origenal position. The nurse that was with them looked over
to Siberia and said
" This is it! Now don't panic and do as I
say". Siberia did the appsolute opposite and looked around in utter
fear
" OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" She screamed in a mixture of
pain and fear. She began thrashing her head around as the pain became
unbearable. The nurse tried to get her attention as she paniced and
said
" Now calm down siberia , I need you focass on me and
push". Siberia tried but it made her feel as if she would be ripped
in half.
" I CAN'T!" She screamed in desperation , her fear
gathering until it became overwelming.
" Don't panic Sibera
, just do as she says" said Shadow , who was trying to keep calm so
that his wife would perhaps as well. Siberia turned to him, her brow
covered with sweat and burst out while breathing rapidly
" SHUT
UP! THIS HURRRRRTTTTTTTSSSS!" She said the end of her sentance
turned into a scream as the pain took another leap.
" Breath
Siberia, breath" the nurse added, noticing Siberia's short quick
breaths. Siberia tried her best to slow her breathing down, although
she couldn't really focass to well becuase the pain was so bad.
Shadow tried desperaty to calm her down and said hopelessly
"
Don't worry siberia , after this is over , we'll have our own
child". This didn't seem to change her mind. Infact , it made her
even more angry and she screamed while starting to thrash again
"
I DON'T CARE! ITS YOUR FAULT! WHO SAID I WANTED A CHILD ANYWAY!"
She screeched. Shadow winced and covered his ears , diciding to give
up on trying to calm her down and let her get on with it. The nurse
steped in again and said
" Siberia your almost there , just a
few more pushes should do it!". Siberia , who was more than eager
for the pain to cease , grabbed hold of Shadows hand and half the
pillow behind her and pushed . The pain flooded through her and she
gave up. " Come on Siberia! Just a little more!" Said the nurse ,
who was watching Siberias opening for he baby to come out. Siberia
crushed Shadows hand and he winced in pain , but tried not to
complain as he was sure Siberia was feeling worse. Siberia pushed
again and felt the baby shift significantly. She kept screeching as
she felt her insides where being streeched miles more than they
should be. But feeling the baby move gave her new hope and she
gathered any strength she could and pushed once more , letting out a
huge scream that caused everyone in the room apart from her to cover
their ears. She felt the lump shift and finnely leave her. She
collasped on the pillows, breathing heavely not wanting to move ever
again. She weakily lifted her head when she heard a baby cry.
Struggling to see , she tried to push herself up . Shadow watched
expectanly , looking extremly tence. The nurse checked over the baby
quickly and announced
" Its a boy!". At these worse Shadow
gasped , he was right! His heart thuddered as he saw his child being
handed to his wife , hidden by a blue blanket. He moved closer to it.
Siberia stared down at her son , conceled by the blanket . She
immidaitly unwrapped it to look at her child. Shadow leaned closer to
see, his face taking on a look of shock.
The child looked like an
almost exact copy of siberia , with the same black fur and tiger
strips . However , its strips where red and only appeared on its tiny
quills , which suck upwards ever so slightly becuase they where new
and short. His hands and feet where tiny and he seemed very delicate.
His little face screwed up as he cried. Strangly he was normal size ,
even though he had been born premature and he had a little tuft of
fluffy, white fur on his chest.
Siberia looked at her son in
delight. She felt so strange , she was a mum now , and too the best
baby in the world , her baby. She reached up and delicatly stroked
his tiny head along his front quill. At his touch he stoped crying
and opened his eyes slightly , so you could see their red colour.
"
He's perfect" she said , smiling. She felt as happy as she had
ever been , holding her son in her arms. " What shall we call him
Shadow , Shadow?" She said , when she realised he wasn't
answering. She looked up and saw him , staring at his son ,
speechless. A single tear rolled down his eyes and he finnely said
while sounding utterly blown away.
" Draco... I , I want to
call him Draco".
The
rest of the gang waited outside anciosly.
" How long does it
take to have a baby!" Yelled Sonic nervously, Amy watched with
interest, she wondered why he was so tence about this anyway? He
didn't really know Siberia that well and him and Shadow wern't
exactly best freinds. What was making him so tence?
They had
heard Siberia stop screaming. Suddenly a babies cry echoed through
the corridor and Rouge looked over to Knuckles exctedly and Knuckles
smiled back. About ten minetes after , Shadow came out , looking as
if he was in his own world. Everone waited for him to announce what
his new child was. He looked up , seeming to notice the others for
the first time. A small smile crept onto his face and he said
happily
" Its a boy!". At this everyone rushed over , firing
shadow millions of questions. He looked around helplessly and said
over the noise
" Why don't you come in and see for yourselfs?
Rouge? Knuckles? How about you two first?" He asked , directing his
attenion to Knuckles and Rouge. The couple smiled and followed Shadow
into the labour room. Knuckles could only imagine what Shadow was
feeling right now. He was visably happier than he had ever been.
Knuckles began thinking toward his own childs birth and started
feeling the exitment build up.
They turned the corner and saw
Siberia , laying there , holding a bundle in her arms. Rouge and
Knuckles moved into veiw of the baby. Rouges whole face lit up and
she rushed over to Siberia
" Oh Siberia! He's so beutiful!"
She said in awe . Knuckles came and stood by her side . Siberia
looked exausted , he fur slightly damp with sweat and muffled up in
places where she had been throwing her head around . The baby had
fallen asleep , and was curled up against Siberia , it arms tucked
against her. Siberia looked up to Rouge and smiled.
" I know...
I can't belive this is happening! It feels to good to be true!"
Siberia struggled to say , her mind completly blown away by the
events that had occurred that day. Just that morning she had
thought about the fact that her child would be born two weeks from
now and here she was , just 10 hours later , she had her son in her
arms.
" What's he called Siberia?" Said Rouge , who was
watching the baby snooze.
" Draco , Shadow decided to name him
that" she awnsered , shifting the babies weight in her arms so both
of them were more comfertable.
" You did? Why that name
Shadow? Its quite unsual" Asked Knuckles curiously , speaking for
the first time since they had entered the room .
" I know"
said Shadow , still looking dazed as he stared at his son , he sighed
happily and said " I always promised myself I would give my child a
powerful name , one that would help it keep its strength in times of
need and Draco seemed the obvios awser, plus I really like that
name". Knuckles nodded and said
" Yeah , doesn't it mean
Dragon in some other language?" He asked , his eyes locked onto
Draco as he woke up. Shadow nodded contently and said
" Yes and
that is why it was perfect for him". Rouge agreed and faced the
baby. Seeing him for the first time made her look forward to her own
childs birth , although the pain was still a nagging worry in her
mind. Soon they left , letting Sonic and Amy in to see the baby.
"
I dunno Shadow, he looks to much like you for my liking" said
Sonic, gazing over to the snoozing baby. He wacked Sonic round the
head playfully and said
" I can't help it Sonic, besides,
Siberia and I look alike as well so It was bound to look like me"
he said, taking a seat next to Siberia's bed. Although Amy and
Sonic were there, it was like Shadow and Siberia were in their own
little world, feeling happy about their new son.
" He's
sooooooo cute!" Squeled Amy, as Draco woke up and yawned. Sonic
nodded and said
" Yeah I have to admit, that is one handsom son
you got there Shadow" said Sonic appricativly, as the babies clear
red eyes focossed on him. Amy sighed and said cuddeling up to Sonic
and looking up into his eyes
" Hey Sonic, if you like him that
much I could always get you one of your own" said Amy sudductivly.
He saw Shadow raise an eyebrow and he said while laughing uneasily
"
Er, no thank you Amy". Shadow smiled cunningly and said
" Is
there something going on that we don't know about Sonic?". Sonic
looked up, slightly astonished.
" NO!" He screamed, when his
brain finnely caught up. Shadow chucked and little Draco let out a
sqeek, which made the new father turn his attention straight back to
his son.
" Well, i guess we should go now, see ya Daddy" said
Sonic while smiling. Shadow blushed and Siberia gave him a loving
smile, thinking that, it wouldn't be long before another baby
arrived on the scene.
