Hey mates! Tell me, who's ready for another update? Another update so quick. Wow, I've had such a nice case of inspiration lately. It's so nice, I think I might just make a "Shame Game IV" after this one, but it's still being decided on. Tell me what you think!

Well, this piece of fiction was started almost a year ago. Here I am, onto chapter four. I want to finish it before summer so I can get to work on other pieces that I've started writing.

Anyways, read below for the chapter.

***SHADOW'S POV***

After Tails went up stairs to bed, Skye and I stayed hanging out in the living room. I took in another big look of her, still, to this point, not believing that she was due in two month's time. Pretty soon I'd have a family, so I guess I had to make it official. I reached around in my pocket and my hands got a hold of the little square box that rested there. Inside the box was a ring, which symbolized my commitment to Skye the Hedgehog. I planned on asking her tonight.

She had gotten big. The baby was growing healthily inside her, no defects or malnutrition's had appeared yet. I don't see how any of that could happen, though, considering how much Skye's had been eating lately. She got up and walked into the kitchen, grabbing herself a drink of milk. When she came back, she gave me the most amazing smile I had ever seen.

"Are you okay, Shadow?" She asked me, putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Huh?" I asked, snapping out of my trance, "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just taking all of it in right now, you know? Two months to go, Skye. And we'll be a family."

"Yeah, two months," Skye mumbled. She had been over excited about having the baby, but I could tell that she was not excited, however, about the pain that came with having a baby. I rubbed her stomach and gave her a genuine smile, trying to comfort her. She smiled at me, acknowledging what I had been trying to do. I smiled back, kissing her eyelids, nose, and then lips.

"I love you, Skye," I said, still rubbing her stomach, "All of you. And what I said all those months back still hasn't changed. You are the greatest gift I have ever received."

"Shadow, I love you too!" Skye said, giving me a hug and kissing my cheek, "I'm just so scared. I don't know if I will be able to handle having a child."

"Skye, I'm scared, too. But you don't have to worry about the child. Because I'm going to be here, and I'm never going to let you have to worry about it on your own." I stated in response to her previous statement. I kissed her nose and got up, starting to put away the Monopoly board. Skye got up and started to help. Once we had all of the pieces back into the box, we put the box back into the closet where it stayed. After that, we threw the pizza box in the recycling bin.

I took Skye's hand and walked her to the door. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"You'll see." I replied, helping her into her jacket. I pulled mine on and put on my boots, "Tails! I'll be back in a bit!" I yelled to upstairs.

"Yeah, yeah," I heard Tails reply, obvious that he was half asleep. Skye and I stepped outside and I closed and locked the door. Unlocking the car, I helped Skye in then went around to the driver's side, getting in myself. After starting the car, I backed away from the house and pushed on the ignition, driving away.

"Where are we going, Shadow?" Skye asked from beside me. I turned to her and smiled, kissing her nose.

"We're going to catch a movie," I replied to her, "You know; the one you wanted to see? What was it called, Remember Me?"

"Yeah!" Skye exclaimed, her excitement rising. I laughed and turned right on Queen's Way. In a short few minute's we'd be there. We rode the rest of the ride in silence, nervousness was building up inside of me. I had to ask her tonight. If not tonight, then I never would.

We finally got to the theater. I parked the car and we got out, holding hands on the way in. We got into the lineup and I noticed a couple familiar faces.

"Isn't that Knuckles and Rouge?" I asked Skye. She looked in the same direction and smiled excitedly.

"Knuckles! Rouge!" She called over, causing the two to turn around and spot us. They smiled and walked over.

"Hey guys, what'cha seeing tonight?" Knuckles asked. I gave him a fist bump.

"Remember Me," Skye replied, "And you guys?"

"Same!" Rouge squealed. The two of them grabbed each other's hands and started talking really fast. Knuckles and I looked at each other and laughed.

"Well, you guys buy the tickets; we'll meet you at the snack bar in a few. We're stepping outside." I informed Skye. She just turned to me and nodded, continuing her talk with Rouge.

When Knuckles and I got outside, I pulled out my pack of smokes. I opened it and pulled one out, noticing it was the last one. Tails must have stolen a couple before going to bed. I discarded the red packet into the garbage can and lit the cigarette.

"So, what's up, Shadow?" Knuckles started, "It's pretty cool seeing you two here tonight. Haven't seen you in a couple days."

"Not much, Knux," I replied, taking a pull off of the cigarette, "I kind of needed your advice on something."

"What's that?" Knuckles asked. We went up to the wall and slouched down against it. I fished around in my pocket and took out the little box. I opened it up and showed Knuckles the ring.

"Oh," Knuckles said, after looking at the ring for a few seconds, "So you're gonna propose to Skye, huh?"

"Yeah, but I'm so nervous!" I admitted to Knuckles. He patted me on the shoulder for comfort.

"Don't be, man," Knuckles replied, "She loves you, why would she reject?"

***

We were all seated together while watching the movie, Skye beside me and Knuckles and Rouge on the other side of her. Skye was currently tracing circles on my hand, and it felt pretty good. I kept on thinking about what Knuckles said, "She loves you, why would she reject?" And the answer was pretty simple. I got her knocked up, I made her throw some of the best times of her life away, and she will have to help take care of a baby in a couple months. So many answers came to my mind, and it was making me even more nervous. Skye tapped me on my shoulder and I turned to her. She leaned in and kissed me. When she broke off I smiled.

Before I knew it, the movie was over, and we were all walking out of the theater. Rouge said her farewells and so did Knuckles, but he came over to me before he left with Rouge.

"Don't miss your chance," He whispered into my ear. He re joined Rouge and turned to me, giving me a thumbs up. Skye and I walked back to the car in silence.

The ride to her house was also mostly in silence. I turned on the radio and let soft rock play. Skye lived in a pretty big house. Her dad, Nelson, and I have become pretty close. He likes me a lot. And her little sister, Lilly, really likes me too. So does her mom, Gina.

I drove onto the driveway of her house, stopping the car. I got out and walked to her side, opening the door for her. I walked her up to her door and she turned to me.

"Night, Shadow," She said, leaning in and kissing me on the lips. I kissed her back and she turned around to her door.

Don't miss your chance! I thought, don't let her get away.

"Skye, wait!" I exclaimed. She turned around, a questioning look on her face.

"Shadow, what? You're acting crazy!" Skye giggled. I smiled and walked up to her. I kissed her on the nose.

"Skye," I started, "I love you more then words can express. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I want to raise our child together. So I guess what I'm trying to say is…"

I got on one knee and reached into my pocket, taking out the small box. I opened the box and showed her the ring. "Will you marry me?"

Skye got down on her knees too and gave me the biggest hug I had ever gotten. "Of course I will, Shadow!" I took hold of her hand and slipped the ring on her ring finger. She smiled and kissed me on the lips. It was a gentle kiss, not too passionate but not too hungry.

I got up and helped her to her feet, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, my love."

"Goodnight, honey." Skye said. She took my hand and put it to her heart, and I felt that it was going really fast. She hugged me again and whispered into my ear, "I love you."

"I love you too," I stated honestly. She kissed me again and walked into her house.

With a bounce to my steps, I walked to my car. I was whistling the whole time. Nothing could bring me down right now. I stepped into my car and started it up, backing away from the house and starting to drive home. Nothing could ruin my moment. Skye the Hedgehog…
