A/N: I'm back so please bite my head off for not updating in a while! I know my pen name has changed again but it will be the last time I swear! Anyway on with the story; things have quite changed. Even though it's really based on Sonic, Shadow and Amy I'm also doing Knuckles and Rouge as well. Besides the title is 'The Dark Side Of Life'. More problems will brew in this story and I might change the summary but it's still the sequel to TWIM.

The next day, Rouge woke up feeling rather ill. She clutched her stomach and ran into the bathroom. She started to vomit continuously.
When the vomiting passed Rouge looked really pale and distressed. Frantically, she went to her medical box and took out a pregnancy test.

Later on...

Rouge sat on the toilet seat whilst staring at the test. 'I can't believe this...' She thought.

After a while Knuckles knocked on the bathroom door with concern. "Rouge are you okay?" He asked whilst waiting for a reply looking worried.

"Did it sound like I was okay!" Rouge snapped.

Knuckles shook his head. "No… Sorry, what's wrong Rouge?"

Rouge opened the door and looked at Knuckles. "I'm pregnant"

Knuckles looked at Rouge with confusion. "You're what?"

"You heard me Knuckles" Said Rouge.

Knuckles shook his head. "No… I didn't ask for this… Get rid of it"

Rouge looked at Knuckles with disgust. "Look do you think I asked for this?" She begun as her voice got higher. "And I'm not getting rid of it! That's just cruel. Knuckles you can be such a fool at times! Didn't it cross your mind to use protection!"

Knuckles started shouting back. "Either way it doesn't matter now! I'm not going to stand here with you being pregnant! If you don't get rid of it then I'm leaving"

Rouge looked shocked with Knuckles. "So I see how you are. Go ahead! Run away! Go on then! Just remember you're the father and when this baby is born he or she will start to wonder! But if that's the way you are go!"

Knuckles walked out of Rouge's house and slammed the door hard.

Rouge sat down hugging herself while she was crying. 'How will I cope as a single parent?'

Meanwhile…

Amy went to Shadow's house and knocked on the door,.

No answer

Amy knocked on it again then all of a sudden the door creaked open.

'Weird… I wonder where Shadow is but I might as well go in' Thought Amy as she went into Shadow's house.

She walked up the stairs into Shadow's room and gasped as she dropped her bag onto the floor.

To her surprise, there were photographs of her everywhere. Amy started to shake and wondered through the pile of pictures. She looked at Shadow's table and saw the photograph with Sonic and Rouge. Next to the picture it said 'My plan worked'

Amy went pale and just stared into thin air. 'He setup Sonic and Rouge just to get to me' she thought whilst realizing Shadow's plans.

A hand from behind touched her and a voice called out to her. "What are you doing here?"

Amy turned around and shrieked when she noticed that it was Shadow. She noticed all the scars on his arms which where covered up.

"Are you deaf or something?" Said Shadow, "What are you doing here?"

"I-I," Stuttered Amy, "I came to see you but the door was open to I walked in. Shadow… You lied to me. You setup Sonic just to get to me and-"

Amy couldn't finish her sentence because Shadow grabbed her and pinned her down to the wall firmly.

Amy screamed for her life loudly. Shadow punched Amy hard then kneed her in the stomach.

Amy started coughing up blood as Shadow flung her to the floor.

Shadow looked at Amy and gasped. "I'm sorry I-I I don't know what over me"

Amy stared at him blankly and made a run for it.

She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. When she got to Tails workshop she fiercely knocked on the door.

Sonic opened the door and discovered Amy on the floor with bruises as she was crying.

"Sonic-I'm so sorry!" Amy sobbed.

"Its okay, what happened and what's with the bruises?" Said Sonic.

Amy cried again. "Shadow"

Sonic's eyes narrowed. "What?"

"Take her inside Sonic" Said Tails who was at the door as welll listening to what has been happening.

Sonic led Amy inside and she was still crying as Sonic was trying to calm her down.
