Interlude 2

Three weeks Later…

It was two days before Amy was to go into battle and Shadow to lead the ambush. As the sun went down, Amy decides to go outside for a while and clear her mind before her mission. She had a lot for an 18 year old. She was to take down a ferocious tyrant, round up her troops and keep her son out of harms way. As she looked out to the moon, Shadow from a distance, sees Amy with her ears drooping down, meaning she was sad or confused.

He walks to Amy and decides to ask her, but this time, was more careful of asking her things. He stands behind her and listens to her talking to herself.

"What will possibly happen tomorrow, will I live? Will I see my baby again? Will I ever see Shadow again? Oh…I have so much on my mind."

"Then clear your conscience for a moment and think of the good things coming out of it." Came a voice. Amy turns and sees Shadow, with his arms crossed and standing there. She smiles and says, "You always know what to say. "

"I guess. But really, don't worry, we will take him down."

"I hope, but what if we fail?"

"How can we fail. Look at our country, it's a hell hole, our people will help us, just wait."

"How?"
"Hope, through hope."

Amy sighs and says, "I guess we need to keep our faith at bay. I hope our creator gives us the strength we need for the battle that lies ahead of us."

"We need to. But a couple of warnings, Amy."

"I am listening loud and clear, Shadow."

"OK, Scourge is sadistic and he will do anything in his power to win, even killing you senselessly. I know, because I was to be killed a few days after I left the palace. He wanted the problem gone, but then someone points out about the 'bugger' as they call Matteo. I listen in and realize they were out to kill you both. A Wiseman from Germany came to the palace and said that he really doesn't need you to rule, just to bear children. I was shocked and this was a day after your father died. Man didn't even say a word at the funeral, and he didn't do anything at his burial. It was just the knights that have faith in you and Knuckles' father and Julie-Su's grandmother, and we did everything for him. He respected us and we were treated like family when he was alive. It was a day that shook us all, but he believes in us that we will succeed in this mission."

"He must be stopped, once and for all. I am not letting my father nor my friends down, especially my people."
"We can't let them down. I go through the undergrounds to get my way, and I hear people worshiping you and some people saying they met or saw you and artists painting or sketching beautiful artwork of you. You are still loved by your people."

"They….still care, after abandoning them?"
"Yes, they want their real queen back. Not some hick from Messina. They want a true Romana, of Roman blood to rule."

Amy smiles and says, "Don't worry, I will make sure we don't fail. We can't, for failure is not an option. I swear it on my life."

"Amen, Amy Rose." Shadow replied and puts his fist in the air. Amy catches him off guard and kisses him. "Thank you, really. Now come along, we must relax. We have only but two days left before our battle."

"You know, its funny seeing as Matteo keeps on taking my sword and practices, he actually wants to be involved."

Amy giggles and replies, "I'm sure he'll get his chance. " They leave and when they reached to Amy's door, she looks at him with sly grin on her face.

"You know, Shadow, we can do some practice on something we can get involved with...if you catch my drift."

Shadow smirks and says, "Hmm…Amy Rose, you better not think what I think you are thinking because I won't do it."

Amy pouts and Shadow replies, "Amy, that won't work on me. I was a knight, remember. We were taught to face emotions head on."

Amy then tries to think of another way to get him to spawn with her. She then smiles and kisses him again, knowing that he couldn't resist her.

In Shadow's head, he tells himself, "Come on, Shadow. Remember, ignore her advances. Remember the lesson, face the emotions head on. Come on Shadow, you're about to slip into her grasp." Amy stops kissing him and begins to nuzzle him with her head against his head and purring.

"Control, Shadow control." He told himself frantically.

He wanted to push her away, but was too late for the knight, he fell in her grasp. He responds by kissing her back but with deep compassion. Amy then pulls him into her room, and pushes him lightly on her bed.

(Matteo isn't there, so relax ladies and germs)

As Amy took off her corset, Shadow tried to get away and tries to think of a way out, since he knew Amy's father would probably haunt him in his dreams.

"Ok Shadow, think of an explanation, or else Ivano will be haunting you with great anger at this time of night." Amy walks over to him and only had her tunic on and her quills down. Shadow gave up, he'd rather be haunted for life than not have a moment of intimacy with her. He takes off his armor which covered his chest and pulls Amy to kiss her.

(Amy's POV)

As Shadow pulls me over to him to kiss, I realize that Shadow got stronger. He was no longer slim like he was when we were adolescents. He truly changed and was no longer the hedgehog I could trust, but more. He then begins to kiss my neck and I purred as his touch. I wrap my arms around his neck and I felt his flexes as he pins me to the wall. I was feeling his body against mine and I felt as if we were meant for one another, our bodies fitting one another perfectly. He grabs my waist with both hands and gently lays me down. I pull the straps of my tunic off to bear my shoulders and he kisses downward. I moan as I feel myself losing control and state of mind.

He then tells me to undress in front of him. I was a bit shocked at what he asked of me. "You're not going to disobey me, are you Rose?"

I felt turned on by his request and my nipples harden. I began to take off my dress. Shadow just laid on the bed, watching me undress with a smirk on his face. I wanted to wipe it off him, but decided not to. After taking my dress off, Shadow walks to me and carries me to the bed and our lips meet once more. I felt his erection against my hip and he begins to feel my body, it felt good as he began to touch me, but I was irritated as he kept teasing my, as he licks me and plays with my clit. I wanted him to just enter me now.

(End of POV)

Shadow wrapped his arm around her waist and began to penetrate inside her. He began to thrust her and she moaned and cried with pleasure.

"Oh Shadow…please, go faster. I can't take this any longer."

"Rose, are you sure you conceived a child through sex – fuck."

"Quit teasing me and give me what I want, Ahh." Amy closed her eyes tightly as Shadow gained more speed and pulling her quills. They then stop so Amy and Shadow could meet and they were then in missionary. Shadow then grabs Amy by the waist and they look at one another as they were close to their climax.

"Ahh...Shadow, I never realized how strong you are. My god...oh."

"Ha...there's a lot of thing-shit- you never knew of me."
"Oh, god. Shadow, please cum in me. Oh...oh."

"Argh, fuck."

"Oh, Shadow...I'm about to cum, hold me." Amy whimpered as Shadow looks at her with a smirk of satisfaction.
"Amy...argh...FUCK!"

"Oh Shadow, cum in me." Amy begged as Shadow slowed down. "Damn...Amy Ti Amo." Shadow groaned and he kisses the love of his life. Amy whispers, "Ti Amo pure." as she and Shadow catch their breath.
(Translation: I Love you/ I love you as well)

Amy and Shadow slept in the room and Matteo goes in and hugs his mother, not knowing his parents' 'little activity.'

He leaves.
