3k: heh, yeah, I kinda seem to have one too so you and Sonic aren't alone on that one.

Yeah, I know what you mean by that snuggly feeling (I almost forgot that does the phew face) I knew I was forgetting something! gives you M&M's forgive me?

TwilightPrincess012: it says he's pregnant on the opening thinger, just because it says that doesn't mean you have to read it! I would appreciate it if you didn't comment unless you actually read the thing if you think it's sick and wrong after that, then that's fine. (Gosh that sounds mean . )

If I get kicked off I'll make sure to get you all a website address where I'll continue .;;. There was something else I wanted to say but I forgot exactly what it was– oh yeah! Alright, if any of you have any suggestions, speak up, I'd like to hear them! That way I can work with them and work them into the chapter possibly! I'd love to hear from you.

Chapter 8: One Test of Patience Part 2

(3 months in same with last chapter)

Last time: Shadow stared blankly at the wall.

"Love...?"

OoooooooooooooooooooOooooooooooooooooooOoooooooooooooOooooooooooooooooooooO

"Sonikku...my tummy hurts." Shadow was curled into a ball holding his stomach and wincing slightly. Sonic could smell the small aura of fear around Shadow and smiled reassuringly before softly stroking Shadow's back.

"Hunny..." He sat on the bed beside Shadow when Shadow's aura didn't change. "It's just the babies showing how much they love their mother..."

"I'm a mommy!" exclaimed Shadow immediately forgetting his stomach pain and flinging his arms around Sonic. The reality of it finally sinking in after three months. He giddily crawled completely onto Sonic's lap and snuggled into his sapphire boy ...er...hedgehog wonder.

"Yes, yes you are." Sonic gently ran his fingers through Shadow's messy, sleep matted, quills then kissed Shadow's forehead. Shadow smiled widely and snuggled closer as Sonic wrapped him in a warm comforting embrace trying to will any pain that Shadow had to go away and hope he wouldn't remember he was hurting before it left.

Knuckles stood up from the dining room table as he heard loud purring come down the hall and walked quietly as possible to his best friend's bedroom door. He slightly peeked in to see Sonic and Shadow sitting on the bed snuggling and Sonic whispering soft praises into Shadow's fur. He smiled softly to himself realizing how homophobic he'd been around the two and realized just how right this was for them. He blinked as he realized he was slipping out the front door quietly to not disturb them. Then he heard a sound that no living thing should make. A very high pitched screech that sounded as if it had ripped through the street to come from hell itself. He covered his ears and ran back into the house.

Sonic sat beside Shadow dumbfounded. The noise that had just left Shadow's lips had caused him to jump backwards and had his hears ringing. Sonic's quills were standing out on end and his ears were folded back tightly against his head as his eyes gazed at Shadow worriedly and wide eyed with surprise. "Shadz?"

"Sonikku?...My tummy doesn't hurt anymore..." Shadow smiled softly and quietly not quite sure what else he should do. He instinctively moved his hands to his stomach and felt two movements against his palm and smiled knowing that his babies are just as okay as he is.

"Shadow?" Sonic's features were back to normal besides his ears as he cupped Shadow's cheek in his hand. Shadow leapt back onto his lap with a wide smile and flung his arms back around Sonic.

"We're okay," he chirped. He made himself comfortable as Sonic's arms wound their way back around him. Shadow nuzzled into Sonic still wondering what exactly that outburst of sound had been. He shrugged and decided he just wanted to go back to bed as he quietly yawned and shut his eyes almost falling into a light sleep.

"Hey, you guys alright?" Knuckles walked in quickly and smiled at his best friend to see Shadow contentedly in Sonic's arms trying to sleep.

"Yes," said Shadow, "me and the babies are fine, thank you for asking."

Sonic numbly nodded his head trying to get his ears to stop ringing as Knuckles eyes widen slightly and whispered, "babies?"

Sonic smiled sheepishly as he nodded numbly again and said, "twins."

Shadow blushed and smiled as he tried falling back into a light slumber wrapped in Sonic's arms. Even though Sonic had said he wasn't going to Knuckles's house today, he somewhat doubted the hedgehog's decision and wanted to get as much time with him as he could at this point.

Shadow listened as a few mumbled sentences were exchanged then felt himself be laid back into the comforter and expected to be alone. He opened his eyes cautiously and looked straight into emerald ones as Sonic froze. "I didn't mean to wake you Love..."

"It's okay Sonikku," Shadow smiled and quickly found his way into Sonic's arms after he was settled in.

Sonic smiled once Shadow was asleep and fell into a sweet dream.

(Dream)

He sat talking calmly to Amy at Tails's workshop when they received a call saying their help was needed against robotnik yet again. He sighed as Amy grabbed his arm as he ran out the door. He hated it when she did that. He shook his head and continued to run, if she wanted to cling to his arm she'd have to keep up. He smiled as she finally let go and continued to the destination.

When he arrived upon the scene Shadow was already hacking away at the robot Dr. Robotnik had created this time. He shook his head and started to attack from his side of the robot and saw Shadow fall to the ground after a few minutes. He became slightly panicked wondering what had happened and hurried to him to pull him off to the side. He ran between two buildings to where they were perfectly hidden in the shadows.

"Shadow...? are you okay man?" He sat quietly as he heard soft moans leave Shadow's mouth signaling he was still living. He smiled as crimson eyes revealed themselves from behind jet black eyelids.

"Sonikku–." The black and crimson hedgehog stopped himself too late. The object of his desires now knew the nickname he had called him in every one of his fantasies. He blushed realizing Sonic might not be able to see him, but no such luck.

"Sonikku?...are you blushing Shadow?...is something wrong?" Sonic looked worriedly at him and Shadow's blush deepened.

"No, let me be Faker, now let's go finish him off before he gets away!" Shadow stood up only to fall back onto no other than Sonic. They sat sprawled out for a few moments as Shadow's thoughts become incoherent and his instinct took over. He kissed Sonic...deeply. He could've brushed it off as an accident had he not deepened it. He scolded himself for being so stupid as he came out of his stupor and stood against a wall.

"Shadow?" Sonic walked over quietly and placed a hand on Shadow's shoulder feeling him stiffen and shiver at the same time. He smiled quietly and pulled Shadow into a tight embrace not really knowing what else to do, it just felt like the right thing to do.

"Sonic?" Shadow whimpered helplessly and turned around looking frighteningly into Sonic's eyes desperately searching for a helpful emotion as to how he was feeling. Then he saw it if only for a few seconds, a spark of something. His heart raced inside his chest as he threw his arms around Sonic and pulled himself closer into a snuggle.

"Are you alright?" Sonic asked softly. Shadow felt Sonic's soft, warm breath against his arm and smiled and snuggled closer surprised the all Sonic did was hold him more possessively.

"Yes, I'm fine." Shadow smiled and gently rubbed his nose against Sonic's neck before softly kissing the base of it.

"He's in for it," growled Sonic softly. Shadow froze wondering if it was him who was in for it. His heart beat rapidly scared of what Sonic would do next.

"Sonic?" Shadow slowly tried to pull away but felt that Sonic's arms weren't gonna let him move away. He looked worriedly at Sonic letting his vulnerable side show as Sonic looked down at him.

"He hurt you Shadow, Robotnik is gonna pay for hurting you, stay here." Sonic kissed Shadow deeply before running back into the battle against robotnik as Shadow sat smiling with a bright twinkle in his eyes.

(End)

Sonic sighed softly as he pulled what he thought was Shadow closer to him. His eyes snapped open when he realized he was hugging a pillow. He jumped out of bed and started to run down the hall when the tea kettle went off and he heard Shadow's soft voice, "damn tea kettle! You're gonna wake Sonic– ...hi Sonikku."

"Hi baby," Sonic says suggestively. Shadow smiled shyly and poured himself a small cup of tea as the couple sat down for a lunch that Shadow had so generously prepared while Sonic was sleeping.

End of whatever the hell you thought that was .;;
