Brofist to the reviewer who got my Pewdiepie joke at the end of the last chapter! I honestly didn't think anyone would get it. :3

Shadow sighed in content as he snuggled into his warm comforter and massaged the small bump that had risen on his stomach. It had been four months since Sonic and himself had confessed to each other and the ebony hedgehog couldn't be happier.

Okay… so Sonic's over protective attitude got on his nerves sometimes, but those actions only seemed to prove the love that the cobalt hedgehog felt for him. Over the last few months, Shadow couldn't help but worry that Sonic would go back to that damn squirrel, Sally. Even after Sonic and him had a rather large argument about this certain worry, in which Sonic had stopped by starting a heated make out session with him, those suspicions didn't disappear completely.

His reasoning behind these suspicions… Sonic had been with that squirrel for so long and was willing to do anything for her for so long… those kinds of feelings just didn't disappear so suddenly like they did. It was only the day before 'The Incident' that the cobalt hedgehog was making out with her in the corner of the night club.

The bed suddenly dipped and creaked as weight was added to it and warm, furry arms wrapped around him. Shadow smiled; speak of the devil, he thought. He opened his ruby eyes and met loving emerald ones. "Morning, Shadow!" Sonic exclaimed and the ebony hedgehog mentally sighed at how the cobalt hedgehog could be his normal hyper self so early in the morning. "Anything in particular that you would like for breakfast?"

As he said before, there were quite a few perks to this. Sonic might have be way too over protective at times, but that fact was quickly pushed aside as Sonic started to do anything and everything that he would need. If he got hungry, Sonic brought him a feast; if he got sleepy, Sonic gave him a shoulder to rest his head on; if he got horny… Let's just leave it at that.

Shadow hummed and shook his head. "I'm not hungry," he answered and closed his eyes.

Sonic's hand joined his hand on the bump on his stomach and Shadow moved his hand out of the way. The ebony hedgehog purred in content as Sonic worked his hand like magic over his bump and he, unconsciously, moved closer to the cobalt hedgehog to get more of the pleasure he was feeling.

"I can't wait until the baby is here, Shadow," Sonic whispered into his ear.

The pregnant hedgehog chuckled and opened his eyes. "I can't wait until the parasite gets out of me either."

Sonic gave him the stink eye and stopped rubbing Shadow's pregnant belly. "The baby isn't a parasite, Shadow."

Shadow raised an eye ridge and got a sudden idea. "Is it living inside me?"

"Yes?" Sonic replied; confused as to where this was going.

"Is it eating the food I eat?"

"Yes?"

"Does it need me to survive?" Shadow was thoroughly enjoying himself at the moment tormenting the poor cobalt hedgehog.

"Yes? Where is this going, Shadow?" Sonic was trying not to let the ebony hedgehog get on his nerves, but he was really pushing his buttons at the moment.

Shadow's smile got even larger; knowing that he had just won the argument and Sonic didn't even know it. "I just gave you the definition of a parasite and you agreed to everything I just said. You think the baby is a parasite as well."

Sonic continued to glare at him and Shadow laughed at his lover's expense. As soon as he was done, Shadow sat up only to have Sonic pin him back down on the bed. The cobalt hedgehog smirked at his trapped boyfriend and Shadow raised an eye ridge.

"What are you-" Shadow was suddenly cut off by pair of lips. Sonic licked his own, asking for entrance and Shadow complied by opening them just enough for Sonic to get through. The cobalt hedgehog took his chance and his tongue entered Shadow's mouth. Just like everything else the two of them did, it turned into a battle of tongues. However, neither one was willing to give up any ground and they were forced to break apart to breath.

Sonic pulled away and Shadow couldn't help but feel that the cobalt hedgehog's emerald eyes were calculating something and waiting for a good moment to ask. Shadow furrowed his eyes and Sonic rolled off him. They both sat up and Sonic continued to stare at him.

Shadow sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. "What is it, Sonic?"

A couple moments of silence then, "Are you happy, Shadow?"

Shadow froze and his eyes widened. He took his hand away from his face and stared at Sonic in pure shock. Where the hell did that come from? Of course he was happy! Why would that thought even cross Sonic's mind that he wasn't?

However, by the time Shadow got over his shock of Sonics' words, he was too late to answer. A large crash came from Sonic's front door and the sound of large and heavy foot falls entered the cobalt hedgehog's living room. Sonics' ears perked and he jumped off the bed. He dashed to the door of their bedroom and looked down the stairs at the intruders.

"There's the Prince!" Shadow heard a deep voice from downstairs boom out, "Capture him, but make sure not to hurt him! The Queen doesn't care about the other one!"

The Queen? Sonic's mother? Shadow visibly paled at the thought. Sonic and him had thought his mother would leave them alone after their confession four months ago and the fact she hadn't done anything since then only strengthened their hopes of her never coming back. Yeah, hopes; I guess that's all it was.

Shadow was pulled out of his thoughts when the commotion downstairs escalated and a loud yelp echoed through the house. A yelp that had become very familiar to him with all the fights the two of them had gotten into the past few years.

Shadow growled; pregnant or not, he would help Sonic out of this and kick those bastards out of the cobalt hedgehog's house. Besides… he was only four months along, he could still fight… Right? Shaking his head clear of these thoughts, Shadow ran to the entrance of the room and looked down at what was happening in the living room.

He wasn't sure how, but the large goons that took up every space in the living room somehow had gotten Sonic trapped in this large, capsule, type, thing. Shadows' eyes widened; it might have something to do with one of the goons holding a bazooka right at the bedroom door… right where he was standing now.

Shadow caught Sonic's eye, "Run, Shadow!" He shouted and Shadow really wished he could smack the cobalt hedgehog since the rest of the goons seemed to finally notice his presence from Sonic's sudden shout.

The goons pulled out their guns and Shadow watched as red dots danced across his form. He smirked; nothing he couldn't handle with a little Chaos Control and a few Chaos Spears. Shadow drew energy from the Chaos Emerald hidden in his back quills and got ready to Chaos Control behind the massive goons.

"Run, Shadow! Don't worry about me and go!" Sonic shouted again and started to kick the large container he was trapped in.

"Shut up, you idiot," Shadow growled under his breath and Chaos Controlled. Only… he didn't. He looked around in confusion as he saw he was that he was standing in the. exact. same. place. as. before. Damn pregnancy had to not only mess with his emotions and body weight, but now he couldn't even Chaos Control because of it!

Shadow shrugged off his anger and dodged a bullet by one of the goons and promptly ignored the shout of protest and anger from Sonic. Maybe he would be able to use his Chaos Spears since it took a lot less energy to create a couple of those than a Chaos Control would.

He gathered energy in his right hand, "Chaos Spe-"Sudden, excruciating pain traveled up his body and Shadow clutched his stomach and fell to his knees. What was going on? He clenched his teeth and heard his Chaos Emerald tumble down the wooden staircase.

One of the goons picked it up and grinned at him in triumph. The edges of Shadows' eyes started to blacken and dizziness and a feeling as if he was floating entered his mind.

Seeing their chance, several goons ran up the stairs and the person who Shadow made out to be the leader of the group, stood in front of him. "Say your prayers, you little freak of nature," the leader growled and lifted his foot. Shadow unconsciously tightened his grip on the bump on his stomach, further protecting the growing life within, and grunted in pain when the goon brought down his foot, smashing the top of his head.

Shadow, since he wasn't a normal Mobian, wasn't completely knocked out by the first blow and, for the very first time, Shadow had wished he was one since the goon continued to repeatedly kick him.

"Stop! Please, stop!" Shadow could easily hear the fear and desperation in Sonic's voice at the beating he was receiving. The ebony hedgehog could feel warm blood run down his head at a rapid pace and Shadow sighed in happiness as the goon seemed to be too preoccupied with smashing his face in to even think about kicking his stomach and easily killing the pup he was carrying.

Shadow felt his eye sight darken dramatically and he knew that he was going to pass out soon. Good… maybe the goon would stop once he was knocked out… Then… he saw nothing…

*Ombra d'amore*

Shadow groaned; his head felt like he had one too many drinks last night but… that wasn't right, he wasn't affected by the effects of alcohol. And… he felt completely empty. Well, not completely since his stomach felt like it was about to explode. The empty feeling was probably from him misusing his chaos energy before and now he was converting all of his remaining energy to the pup growing in his stomach.

However, he couldn't worry about that right now; he had to figure out where the hell those goons had taken him since whatever he was lying on definitely didn't feel like where he had passed out. Shadow cracked open his eyes only to find that he couldn't open them. Shadow sighed; the injuries to his face were more severe than he thought they were since his face was mostly likely swollen from the beating it took before.

Shadow brought his hands to his face and frowned. His face wasn't swollen, just full of dried blood that had acted like plaster and kept him from opening his eyes. Shadow fiercely used the palms of his hands to rub the dried blood off his face. Flakes of red fell off of him in layers and Shadow growled and swore under his breath that he would make those goons pay dearly for this.

Once he was sure that he gotten all of it off, Shadow opened his eyes and took a look around at his surroundings. He was sitting on an old mattress on the ground and a three legged chair stood across the room. If you wanted to call what he was in a room; it was more like a dungeon.

Water dripped from somewhere unknown and hard, black cement layered the floor. The ceiling was barely even seven feet tall and Shadow growled when he noticed that thick metal bars kept him from the only exit to this place. Not to mention a lone bucket sat in the corner of the room and Shadow refused to use that thing in any way.

Apparently, when Queen Aleena put her mind to something, she thought everything through. Shadow looked up and narrowed his eyes at a blinking red light in the corner of the room. A video camera… she was watching him.

Shadow clenched his fists in anger and he glared at the hidden camera. "I know you're watching me! Come down here and tell me what the hell you're doing!" Shadow paced back and forth, waiting for a response from the magenta hedgehog and growled when no one came after twenty minutes.

In blind fury, Shadow picked up the three legged chair and threw it at the camera. All that seemed to do, however, was smash his one good chair into hundreds of pieces on the floor. He loudly swore at no one in particular and forced himself to calm down. Shadow rubbed his temples as a headache started to form behind his eyes. Man… did he have bad mood swings…

Shadow looked back at the hidden camera; well… if no one was willing to come down and talk to him, he would have to come to them. He walked over to the metal bars and felt each one for any kind of weakness. On the last bar on the left, Shadow stuck some luck and found that it was smaller than the others and the one next to it was a little loose.

He placed a hand on each bar and attempted to pull them to the side and to create a hole big enough for him to fit through. Shadow silently thanked his dead friend, Maria, that Queen Aleena had chosen to kidnap him while he was still thin enough to be able to fit through these bars.

However, that was about all his luck was going to give him as heavy sets of footsteps echoed through the once empty hallway and the obvious sound of a single person wearing high heels grew louder each second. Shadow backed away from the bars so they wouldn't see the faulty ones he was just pulling on before and silently waited for his kidnappers to arrive.

He didn't have to wait long, though, as Queen Aleena and several of the goons from before arrived at the opposite side of the bars of his jail cell, including the one who decided to mistake his head for a soccer ball. Shadow repressed at growl as the lead thug smiled at him through the bars, as if silently mocking him at his win. If only he wasn't pregnant that goon would have been dead within seconds of breaking into Sonic's house.

Speaking of Sonic, where was he? He obviously wasn't in any of these jail cells since the cobalt hedgehog would have heard him long ago with all his swearing, yelling and breaking things…

He really needed to keep his mood swings under control.

"Hello, Shadow. I hope you're enjoying your stay at my castle," Queen Aleena said in an overly sweet voice layered with sugar. "You've meet my friends haven't you?" She pointed to the goons behind her, "They've been assigned to keep watch over you while you stay here, so don't do anything bad." A dark twinkle entered her calculating eyes, "Because we'll be watching you."

Shadow narrowed his eyes; he couldn't believe this person was Sonic's mother. This cold, calculating bitch was the mother of the carefree and heroic Sonic the Hedgehog. It just didn't seem right. It didn't seem fair.

Shadow mentally sighed; who was he to talk about things being fair? His best friend was murdered in front of him for just being, well, his best friend and his father was a homicidal maniac of an unknown alien race that had been bent on destroying the human race.

He looked back up and glared into the magenta hedgehogs' eyes. "Stop with the sweet talk and get to the point already; I'm quickly losing my patience," Shadow all but growled at the Queen.

Queen Aleena narrowed her own eyes and glared at him. "Absolutely no class whatsoever. I can't believe my son would fall for someone like you." She then looked down and studied her finger nails as if they were more interesting to look at than he was. "Of course, with someone of your history, tricking someone as naïve as my son into loving you must have been a piece of cake."

Shadow growled and clenched his hands into fists to prevent himself from pushing his arms outside the bars and wringing the cold bitch's neck. He knew that she deserved whatever punishment came her way, but this person was still Sonic's mother and the Queen, it wouldn't be good for either him or the baby to act irrationally right now.

"What do you mean, 'tricking Sonic into loving me'?" He asked and watched as the bitch finally looked up from her nails and gave him a smile of triumph as she saw him trying to contain his anger.

"Exactly what I mean. You tricked my son into having sex with you by getting him drunk and making yourself pregnant with his child. This made my Sonic feel obligated to help you through this problem and offered you his help." She looked directly into his eyes, "But I know what this is really about even if Sonic can't see it. By making yourself pregnant and, with Sonic being the heir to the throne, you would become part of the royal family. Once the child is born, all you would have to do is kill Sonic and you would become the new ruler."

Shadows' eyes widened, "Lies!" He screamed. "All lies!"

Queen Aleena gave him a cruel and knowing smile. "I know they are all lies; my son really does love you, but… who do you think the people and jury will believe? A four month pregnant hedgehog that has a history of killing and trying to destroy the planet or the Queen?" She dusted off her dress and turned away and motioned for her goons to follow her out of the jail. However, before she reached the end of his cell, she turned back to him. "By the way, your trial is in one week's time. Have fun with your last days of life, Shadow."

Wow… I've done it… I've really done it… I've turned the sweet and caring Queen Aleena from Sonic Underground into a cruel bitch…

Anyways…

Sonic: Anyways isn't a word!

Yes! I know! I got that the first dozen times you told me before!

Sonic: *Puppy dog eyes* I was only trying to help…

…Awwww! Please don't cry, Sonic! *Hugs him*

Shadow: Well… while those two are busy, I'll do the saying Silver does at the end of every chapter. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE. *Sexy smile* *Wink*
