Chapter 3: Sonic's Birthday
"Shadz?" Sonic woke up around six and cuddled up to Shadow.
"Mmm, don't wanna wake up." Shadow groaned then tensed when he felt warm breath against his ear.
"Any early birthday presents?" Sonic whispered.
Shadow yawned and turned to look at Sonic. He smiled sweetly and replied, "I bought some eggo waffles, the syrup filled kind, just for you Sonikku."
"Shadz..." Sonic whined, "That's not what I meant!"
Shadow quickly retorted, "I'm too tired right now...can you wait till tonight?"
Sonic pondered a moment. "I guess so, thanks for the waffles!" He kissed Shadow passionately then went to make breakfast.
Shadow smiled at the memory of last night. He had thought it all out right before bed. He knew it was like a tradition to actually "sleep together" on Sonic's birthday. They'd done it his last two birthday's they'd been together at least. Plus, he knew Sonic wouldn't pressure him into it, and it wasn't gonna hurt if they missed just one year.
Sonic popped two waffles into the toaster as Shadow walked slowly into the kitchen with a robe pulled around him. Sonic grinned, if it was anybody with the title "uke" it was Shadow. He was cute, childish, emotional, smarter than need be, and had an innocence about him.
Shadow smiled as him and put some coffee on. "Does my Sonikku like his waffles?"
"Yes, your Sonikku does." Sonic grabbed the waffles out of the toaster and sat at the table. The chair squeaked as normal and Sonic slightly flinched as he bit into his waffles.
After breakfast Shadow began to make Sonic's cake while continuing to listen to Sonic's incessant rant about how Rouge and Knuckles should be together. He grinned as he smacked his boyfriend's hand out of the cake mix again. "Sonikku! Just wait!"
He giggled as Sonic pouted then kissed Sonic's nose. As he went back to mixing the cake Sonic sat at the table messing with an apple and an orange.
Awhile later the doorbell rang and Shadow answered it. "Hello Tails!" He checked to make sure no one was there then hugged Tails and put Tails's hand to his stomach, "See Tails!"
Tails waited a moment then felt a small movement against his hand. His eyes widened and he grinned. "Wow Shadow! Sonic's gonna love this!"
Shadow giggled and bounced a few times. "I know! I can't believe I doubted it! I even thought he knew a few time–." He stopped talking when he saw a burst of red behind Tails.
His original frown and glare were in place by the time Knuckles's figure took place behind Tails. "Whatsa matter Tails? Shadow not letting you in?"
"No, I just got here," said Tails smiling. He walked past Shadow and into the living room. Soon after there was a small yelp and Tails was stuck in a bear-hug from Sonic.
"Well, at least Sonic's still himself, that oughta brighten everyone up after the welcoming crew," said Knuckles walking in. Shadow glared at him then smirked at Rouge as she walked in.
"Hi Shadow– Why are you smirking at me?" She raised an eyebrow at him.
"No reason. Welcome Rouge." He watched her walk to the living room then turned to close the door almost shutting Amy Rose out.
"Shadow! It's good to see you again! Is Sonic here! Rouge said today was his birthday party. I wanted to ask him why I didn't get invited!" She pouted and did the best to make Shadow feel bad.
"Oh...it must've got lost in the mail," said Sonic from behind Shadow. Amy pushed past Shadow and hugged onto Sonic.
"I knew you wouldn't forget me!"
"You could say that," mumbled Shadow. He closed the door and crossed his arms as a few looks were shared between the sapphire and ebony hedgehogs. Finally Sonic made his 'I'm sorry' face and Shadow almost melted.
"Did you say something Shadow?" Amy Rose snuggled into Sonic's chest.
"No," growled Shadow. He walked to the kitchen and Sonic pushed her off gently. He then walked Amy into the living room and everyone smiled except for Tails.
As they ate, Amy sat too close to Sonic while Shadow stayed in the kitchen to sit with Tails.
"Tails? Can't we just tell her to go away!" Shadow was having a very heavy mood swing thanks to the bundle of joy in his stomach.
"No, Shadow, that would be very rude." Tails was patiently dealing with Shadow. His face held a sweet smile and his voice stayed at a soothing tone.
"Tails," Shadow whined. He hugged onto Tails and began to bawl his eyes out. "What if he starts to love Amy Rose!"
Tails tensed for a moment then carefully sat Shadow in a chair. "You know Shadow...I think it's time for presents."
Tails winked and Shadow instantly caught on. Nobody there knew Sonic and Shadow were together besides Tails.
Shadow grinned and wiped tears off his cheeks then strolled into the living room. Everyone looked up and watched as Shadow took his rightful (to him anyway) place on Sonic's lap.
Sonic looked questionably at Shadow as Amy glared at him. Knuckles made a confused face at Sonic and Rouge just shrugged it off as a weird roommate thing.
"Sonikku," Shadow said, "It's time for presents."
Everyone blinked at the weird tone coming from Shadow but didn't ask. They just watched closely as Shadow made himself comfortable.
"Shadow's up first, afterall, he's been waiting very patiently to give you his gift," said Tails smiling.
Shadow looked innocently at Sonic and then glared venomously at Amy as she stood up to say something. Needless to say, she sat right back down. "Sonikku?" Shadow laid his head on Sonic's chest and curled his fingers into Sonic's quills.
"Yes Shadz?" Sonic carefully wrapped his arms around Shadow completely tuning everything out around them.
"...I'm pregnant." Shadow quickly buried his face into Sonic's chest so nobody would see his blush.
Sonic's eyes went wide and a broad grin graced his lips. Knuckles's mouth moved like he was trying to say something and the words weren't coming out. Rouge stared at them and Amy just looked horrified. Tails was smiling triumphantly from the kitchen doorway.
"Shadow! That's great!" Sonic hugged him close and let Shadow snuggle deeper into him.
"Sonic! How could you! I thought you loved ME!" Amy sat screeching.
Rouge politely got up while the two were hugging and gracefully slapped Amy across the face. "Amy, this is a happy moment, just shut it!" Rouge sat back down in her seat and watched as Amy brought her hand to her cheek.
"Thank you Rouge," said Shadow lifting his head. He smiled one of his 'I'm so glad you approve' smiles then settled himself on Sonic's lap again. "Alright...so who's next?"
They went through gifts then sat talking with each other about recent quarrels and quirks.
"Yeah, I remember that. 'Cause Sonic ran into a pole and yelped because he thought it was gonna attack him. Then he kicked it and it toppled over giving us away." Knuckles grinned as sonic smiled sheepishly.
Everyone laughed then Shadow commented. "Sonikku...I can't believe you of all people have actually done that."
