Oh...sorry for the mistakes in the typing on chapter four...I typed that at around 1:00 this morning .;;;

Chapter 5: Who says you can't get Friends at the Grocery Store?

Shadow sat in a wheel chair in the waiting room while twiddling his thumbs. The doctor had already checked him over and said his babies were fine. It hadn't quite sunk in when he had first been out here, but now it was crystal clear. Twins. He had been trying to find out what to say to Sonic for the past five minutes.

Just then the object of his thoughts walked in and ran up to him. "What happened! Are you alright! Is the baby okay!" Sonic was panicked and was wasting no time letting it show while coddling his lover and kissing his stomach and his face.

"We're fine Sonikku," mumbled Shadow blushing at the smiling nurses. He smiled sheepishly and gently stroked Sonic's quills. "Can we go home now?"

"Yeah...with doctor's permission of course." Sonic smiled and walked to the desk. He spoke to the nurse a couple minutes then a doctor walked down the hall and smiled at Shadow.

"Hello Doctor Freeman. Sonic's here...may we leave?" Shadow pouted and laid his hands on his tummy and the Doctor was taken aback by the unusual behavior. All he had gotten during the examination was growls, sarcastic remarks and glares.

"Why, of course you can, you're alright." The doctor smiled and Shadow's face brightened and his tail wagged.

"Sonikku! We can leave!" Sonic looked over at the two and smiled as he walked over. He picked Shadow up and Dr. Freeman wondered exactly what was going on.

"Thank you for taking care of him doctor." Sonic situated Shadow so he was comfortable. A smile appeared on the doctor's face as Sonic left carrying Shadow.

As they walked home everyone on the streets stared at them. Then Stacy's car passed by. She stopped and yelled for Shadow and offered them a ride back home. They kindly accepted and climbed into the backseat.

"So...is everything alright Mr. Shadow?" Stacy pulled into the store parking lot to turn around.

"Yes...but...Sonikku...we're having..." Shadow stopped and looked worriedly at Sonic.

"..having what Shadow?" Sonic's face quickly contorted into sheer horror thinking something terrible had happened and Shadow wasn't telling him.

"...Twins." Shadow blushed and sat twiddling his thumbs again then felt a warmth in his side and looked to see Sonic cuddled up against him and hugging him.

Stacy smiled as she watched the scene play before her through the rear view mirror. "That's great Shadow." She commented. He smiled shyly at her through the mirror.

"Yes, it is," said Sonic softly into Shadow's fur. Shadow smiled and when they got home put groceries away and got Stacy a cup of hot chocolate.

"You didn't have t–."

"Yes I did, you brought my groceries home, you told Sonic, and you gave us a ride home, you deserve it," he smiled and sat next to her while Sonic sat in the bedroom supposedly cleaning.

"Thank you," she smiled and sipped the hot chocolate. She took her time to survey the seemingly clean living room and what she could see of the other rooms.

The beige carpet had no stains and a cherry wood end table sat by the arm of the blue couch. The TV sat on an oak wood TV stand with two small doors on the bottom compartment on the bottom with a spot holding their entertainment system. A small video rack sat next to it along with a table with pictures of Sonic, Shadow and friends framed on it. There were some small ornaments mixed in with it all, but not very many. What she could see of the dining room was the soft white carpet with a nice glass top table and part of a hanging light. The hallway to their room had beige carpet with some pictures and shelves on the walls.

"It's a nice place."

"It sure is...I remember when Sonic first moved in...it was a pit and it drove me crazy!"

They shared a laugh and Shadow offered to show her their house. She gladly accepted as he walked her through the first floor then walked her downstairs to show her their rec room. She smiled as he said he'd never even shown any of Sonic's friends this before, and neither had he.

After the tour they sat and Stacy was surprised to find Shadow liked the same Soap Opera as her.

"You're kidding! Brad totally belongs with Angela!"

"I think he looks better with Sheryl," commented Shadow, "I mean, she treats him like he's always wanted to be treated and Angela only did things in their relationship when she wanted someone."

"Wow, I never even realized that!" Stacy sat dazzled at Shadow's knowledge in this particular show. They sat watching their Soap Opera as Sonic walked out and looked at them, he shook his head and smiled then walked over and kissed Shadow heatedly and mumbled that he was leaving then left.

Shadow blushed and went back to watching his show as Stacy smiled to herself and their discussion on Brad's current affairs began again.
