this is edited, the lemon full version is on adult fanfiction.

As soon as he entered and had shut the door, he burst into tears, he buried his face into the pillow trying to drown out the noise he was making, but the door soon opened and he was pulled into a strong embrace.

"I..I…I'm…s….sssorry" he stutter as he tried to pull himself together.

"I know, I know" came Shadows strong voice dropping a kiss on Knuckles forehead. Knuckles stopped crying and looked up into Shadows eyes, seeing that they no longer held any anger.

"you though I was angry with you" stated Shadow. Knuckles nodded looking away. Shadow pulled him to look into his eyes and drew him into a deep kiss. "I can't stay mad at you" he smiled before kissing Knuckles again, Knuckles kissed back pulling Shadow closer to him, his sad mood turning to need. An hour later they collapsed, shadow moved to lay beside Knuckles as the Echidna curled up to Sonic falling asleep, Shadow smiled at the two lovers before rolling off the bed to get a towel to clean them up, before shifting close behind Knuckles and falling asleep.

The Sun rose on the last day that Shadow, Sonic and Knuckles would be staying on Morbius, Sarah had done another check of Knuckles before they moved back to Angel Island and everything was coming on okay with the children, They where going to Angel Island now because Tails couldn't wait any longer to give the three their wedding present. The Tornado flew high into the air with the two tailed fox driving and Knuckles in the back, looking down at the new road where two blurs running the blue one just ahead of the black one.

They arrived on the Island and Amy was stood waiting for them smiling, excitement in her eyes, she greeted them all in turn before letting Tails lead the show.

"close your eyes" said Tails looking at the three older boys.

"Awww Tail" said Sonic, whining slightly.

"Pleaaaase" pleaded Tails pouting slightly. The two hedgehogs indulged the Fox and closed their eyes, Knuckles looked doubtful before Tails took his hand and promised not to let him fall, trustfully Knuckles closed his eyes and let the fox lead him as Amy directed the others. They where brought into a clearing that Shadow and Sonic had started to built their 'house' but only managed a mess.

"open your eyes" said Tails excitedly, smiling as the three opened there eyes and looked at the sight opened mouthed, There where the mess had been was now a Two story wooden cabin, the front had 2 bay windows with a large wooden door.

"Wow" finally Sonic could speak, as he looked at the house.

"Come this way" said Amy opening the front door and lead them inside, the hall way where they entered was large painted in whites and light greens with a stair case up the left side leading to the upper level. Their where two doors that branched off from the Hall one on the left the other on the right. The two tailed fox opened the one on the right, and let them into the room, which was decorated in rich reds and dark woods, a T.V. was next to an open fire which was roaring away, the furniture was sparse, leaving the room for all the things they needed for the large settees that where also in the rich red colour, it had enough room for a large family. The three where quiet as Tails lead them into the door on the left which was a dinning room which had a large Pine oval table with leaves that could extend it for any amount of people. The room was different to the lounge as it was painted in light blue and cream.

"its brilliant" burst Sonic, Knuckles moved about the room carefully.

"its perfect" he said quietly

"but its not all" said Amy smiling, before once again leading them through the door at the end of the dinning room to the kitchen which was in a cottage style with pine wood cupboards and a warm orange paint covering the walls. The was a breakfast bar in the centre of the kitchen with stools around it as more seating.

" We added as much seating as possible because of the amount of children your having" said Tails.

"its wonderful" said Knuckles smiling, stopping himself getting emotional.

"Follow me" smiled Amy leading them back into the hall and up the stairs into the second story onto the landing that lead in two different directions.

"to your left there is three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower and toilet, to your right is 2 more bedrooms and your room which has an en-suite" explained Tails as he lead them to the right opening the first door revealing a spacious room with white washed walls "we left this blank for you to design because you don't know what sex or personality of the child who gets the room, so when they come I will help u decorate it then, as will half of Morbius" laughed Tails

"Thank you" smiled Knuckles as he looked about the room.

"One more thing" said Amy taking them to the door at the end of the right cooridoor, opening the door to reveal a large room with a kind sized four-poster bed, white and red drapes around the edge with black and deep red covers. The walls where burgundy and White with dark wood Cupboards and Wardrobe.

"Wow" said Shadow finally able to speak as he looked at everything at the room.

"We did what we could. You like it?" said Tales.

"Its brilliant" said Knuckles hugging the Fox. "thank you so much."

The group moved downstairs to sit in the kitchen while Shadow cooked dinner, the other talked which Sonic and Knuckles expressed their thanks.

X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X

The three lovers waved the Tornado goodbye as Tails flew himself and Amy home, promising that if they needed anything he would try and help if he could, and to tell him when Knuckles went into labour so he could get Sarah here in time. Once the plane was out of sight the men went inside to explore the house for themselves. Knuckles curled up on the bed after he had been told to go up there after he had fallen asleep downstairs, Sonic was in the bathroom having a shower before coming to bed, while Shadow cleaned the kitchen before he too came up to bed.

Knuckles fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, Sonic came in moments later smiling as his red furred lover, pulling the covers up to keep him warm before leaving the room to find his other lover. Shadow was checking around the house and making sure the windows and doors where shut or locked before he moved to go upstairs meting Sonic in the middle.

"you tired?" asked the blue hedgehog, Shadow shook his head and followed Sonic back down to sit in the lounge looking into the smouldering embers of the fire.

"How have the past few months been for you?" asked Sonic looking at the dark hedgehog.

"Its been strange" commented Shadow "is this the make sure everything is okay for everyone?"

Sonic smiled "I've been found out, Its just I think its been a very weird few months as well"

"I suppose, I've gone from being alone to having two lovers with a family on the way" stated Shadow "how about you?"

"I think is probably a dream that I wanted to come true from the depth of my mind. I've always wanted a family but when I relised I was gay I though it wouldn't be possible and now I have two Husbands and more than two children on the way." said Sonic Smiling wistfully.

"and I suppose that a hot male baring your children is a bonus, who still looks gorgeous laden with children." smirked Shadow.

"that is a good thing of the relationship" smirked Sonic before yawning "I hear that bed calling me now"

"Me too" said Shadow stretching. The two lovers went to the bedroom and huddled up to Knuckles who snuggled closer to them, seeking warming. Each falling into their own dreams.
