I don't know for how long I cried but it didn't matter, I was back in my life again. Shadow cradled me in her arms until I calmed down. He was so warm and his pine scent sent me a trance; I had butterflies. My ears picked up on a sweet melody, it was so smooth and relaxing; Shadow was humming to me.

When I had finally calmed down, I sat up and looked into his burning eyes which sparkled.

"Thank you, Shadow." I whispered as I smiled.

He just smiled and moved my side bangs out of my eyes.

"And also thank you for staying with me when I was in my coma." I added.

Shadow's face was filled with confusion, he gave me a questioning look, "How did you know?" he asked.

I explained everything that I went through during my coma; everything from the earthquake to Maria. His face changed when I mentioned Maria.

"She's watching over you, Shadow. You've never lost her; she was always right beside you." I murmured.

He looked away and sighed, "I'm glad…Rose, can I tell you something?"

I nodded.

"The dream you had. Right after you left when you came over, I fell asleep and experienced the same dream as you. I was stuck in this world of nothing and I couldn't find my way out. Then I heard you, your voice was filled of fear and there you were, standing in a room that was crumbling down" Shadow said, looking into my eyes.

"What happened when you woke up?" I asked him.

"I rushed over here and found you unconscious in the washroom." he told me.

Oh God! You have go to be kidding! He saw me the shower stall! Naked! Cheeks began to burn, I was so embarrassed.

"Why are you blushing so madly?" he smirked.

That smirk made the butterflies flutter a little faster and I felt like something was caught in my throat.

"Oh! Um…well, I- um, never mind." I stuttered , snapping out of my thoughts.

Shadow smiled, hopefully he didn't know why I was blushing.

"I'm going to call up Tails" Shadow said, pulling out his phone, "Excuse me." and walked out of the room.

I felt all this energy flow through my body, I just wanted to jump out of bed and run laps. I decided to get out of bed and go get freshen up, I threw the comforter off me and pushed my legs off to the side of the bed. When I pushed my self off to stand, I fell down with a loud 'thud'. My legs felt like jelly, I felt like I had no legs to support me at all.

"Ow..." I whispered, rubbing my head.

'Amy!" Shadow shouted in shock.

He ran to my side and lifted me back on the bed.

"What were you thinking?" he asked darkly.

"I don't know! I guess I wasn't thinking." I said, shrugging.

"Damn right you weren't thinking! You just got out of coma, Amy! Do you think you'd be back to normal again?" He yelled.

I looked away from him; his eyes were so intense to look into, it was like looking at the sun. I hated it whenever he was angry, I wasn't afraid, it's just I hated whenever unnecessary trouble angered him. I heard him sighed.

"I'm sorry, Rose…I'm just worried about you and what I meant from before was that your body hasn't been active for a while and your legs have to get used to walking again. I'm sorry for yelling at you." He whispered calmly.

I looked back at him and brought his face to look at me.

"I forgive you." I murmured, smiling.

"Oh my God! Amy!" I heard someone squeal from the doorway.

There stood Rouge and Tails. Rouge's face was brightly lit up, she ran towards me and hugged me.

I'm so happy you're back!" She squealed again.

"Rouge, I've missed you so much!" I beamed, hugging her as tight as she did.

Then I saw Tails, he gave me a big smile.

"Hello Amy" he spoke.

"Tails! Is that really you?" I asked with a grin.

"In the flesh, glad to see you're back again." he smiled.

"You had us so worried!" said Rouge.

"Now, Amy, I'm going to give you a check-up, okay?" Tails told me.

I nodded.

He checked my temperature, my eyes, ears mouth, joints but when it came to my legs, he gave me a worried look.

"Well, she's perfectly healthy but it's just her legs, she's going to have to be taught how to walk again so she can get used to it." Tails said.

"So what are you going to do?" I asked.

"Well I'm going to put you through some training to get you to walk again." he replied.

"And I'll help Amy in any way I can" Rouge spoke.

Shadow smiled at me, letting me know that he would be by my side too. I was glad that with their help, I'd be walking in no time.

"Thanks, guys." I whispered.

"Okay, Amy, I got to do a few things and then we're done for today." Tails said as he searched through his sling bag.

He took out a small bottle of clear fluid and then it came to me, Tails was the one that was jabbing me with a needle! Damn him. I thought back to when I was in my coma, the pain and numbness of the treatment.

After Tails had filled the syringe with the fluid, he gently took my arm and inserted it into my skin. Tail smiled and disposed the syringe into a bio hazardous container he kept with him; my arm began to get a bit numb. Tails began to bend my legs, he continued this a few times. Rouge and Shadow talked quietly amongst themselves.

"Well, we're done for today." Tails said.

"Thank you, Tails." I grinned.

"Can I talk with you, Shadow, privately?" asked Tails before he left the room.

Shadow nodded and followed him out the room.

Rouge walked over to the doorway and yelled, "Oh! By the way, don't come inside until we tell you too because me and Amy are going to be talking in private too!"

'We are?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

She shut the door and sat beside me.

"Since I'm here is there anything you need me to do, since the guys are away?" Rouge beamed.

Rouge read my mind, I thought about it. I was too embarrassed to ask anything from Shadow or Tails.

"I'd like to get cleaned up." I murmured softly.

I yelped in shock when I found myself lifted off the bed by Rouge and towards the washroom; she settled me down on the edge of the bath tub.

"You are going look like you've never been in a coma." Rouge giggles as she searched for some toiletries.

I looked into the mirror and saw that I was a complete mess. My quills were everywhere, my eyes were red from the non stop crying and my lips are chapped. So Rouge helped me take a bath, brush my teeth and quills. Rouge rummaged through my closet and found some clothes for me. I pulled on the white lace top and black skirt. Rouge suddenly showed up in my face with a smug grin, I looked down at her hand and she held a few makeup products.

"No way, Rouge!" I shouted.

"Oh come on! If you really love me, you'd wear just a little lip gloss! Please!" Rouge begged with a twinkle in her eye.

I sighed and puckered my lips, Rouge gently applied some. I looked into the mirror again and saw Amy Rose; I smiled and she smiled with me.

"And we are done, you look like yourself once again." Rouge sighed with a smile, "Do you need anything else, Ames?"

"No thanks, Rouge and…thanks for helping me. I've missed you a lot." I said, holding out my hands for a hug.

Rouge grinned and gave a gentle hug, "It's been hell without you, Ames. We've missed you terribly."

I could hear the emotion in her voice; she pulled away and wiped the corners of her eyes. She lifted me of the edge of the bath tub and back on the edge of my soft bed.

"I'll see you later, if you ever need me, give me a call." Rouge told me as she waved goodbye.

I felt so refreshed after a bath. My hands ran down my arms, it felt so soft and smooth. I noticed Shadow standing by the doorway; his eyes stared right into me and he stood as stiff as a statue.

Before I stepped back into the room, I saw Amy sitting on the edge of her bed. She was…different, her presence was glowing. Her face was so sweet, the bright colours came back to her face, her eyes sparkled when the sunshine hit them and her lips were so moist and pink.

She smiled at me, I felt an arrow shoot through my body, I snapped out of the trance.

"What did Tails say?" her angelic voice echoed through my ears.

"He told me that you'll be walking soon and I can help you with training." I told her as I walked towards her.

"That's great." She whispered as a blush filled her cheeks.

I smiled at the sight of her pink cheeks.

"So since I was in a coma, how long was I out for?" Amy asked.

"Hmmm…almost a month." I murmured.

She gasped out loud and clasped her hands over her mouth; she was completely taken back.

"A mouth?" she asked in shock.

I nodded, I found her reaction to be…amusing.

"I can't believe this…but wait, does that mean that you stayed by my side for a month?" She spoke.

"Yes…" I whispered.

It took her a moment to speak again.

"Shadow, that's so sweet. I'm so sorry that I held you back- !"

Before she expected it, I bent down, pressed my hands down on the bed and gently pressed my lips against hers. I felt shock flow through her body then she finally gave in and kissed me back. Her soft lips brushed against mine as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I felt my heavy burdens fly off my shoulders and my heart was about to burst out of my chest. This felt so right.

His pine scent and taste aroused my sense, I wanted more of him. He began to deepen the kiss and our breaths could be heard. Fortunately before I lost control, he slowly pulled away; he placed his forehead against and gave a smirk.

After we caught our breath, Shadow tilted my chin up to his view.

"It was my pleasure staying by your side." He whispered and with that he kissed my forehead.

"Pizza?" he asked, before he left the room.

I simply nodded and he walked off. I threw a pillow at my face and squealed with joy! It was such an amazing, passionate kiss! My heart was still racing and I couldn't stop grinning like a fool. Shadow was mine and I was his…I couldn't have wished for anything better than this.
