Chapter 2: Things will change.

I am sooo sorry this chapter is so short. Please forgive me but I really want to get this story over with and get to my other stories

Scourge didn't know how long he ran but he ran. He was so angry. How could Fiona do this do him even though he did help her. But that wasn't the point. She knew he had plans and to throw this on him was angering to say the least. He can take over the world and worry about the needs of some brat at the same time.

The more Scourge thought about it the angrier he got. He didn't want to be a father. He didn't want any kids whatsoever. But he loved Fiona too much to leave her. She has done so much for him. He had never loved any female like her. To him she is the only girl for him. She was so different from the many others.

Fiona cleaned the tears from her face. The moon had set and Scourge still hadn't returned. She just couldn't understand. Why was he so angry about this? She was happy. She loved Scourge so why wouldn't she be happy about carrying his child? She just wanted to know why. She just wanted to understand what was he so angry about when he should be happy.

She decided she should try to forget about it and go to bed. She almost left the door locked but fought against it. Did Scourge realize how much she loved him? This only brought new tears to her eyes as she lay in bed for the night.

Fiona found it very hard to open her eyes from all the crying she had done the night before. She doesn't believe she has ever cried that much in all her life. She climbed out of bed to go to the bathroom and wash up. She decided she couldn't worry about Scourge and his attitude. She had to prepare.

She walked out the room to hear sneering in the living room. She frowned seeing it was Scourge. She only sighed getting him a blanket. Why did she even bother? She tossed the blanket on him and left.

5 months later…

Fiona was now 6 months and showing. She didn't expect Scourge to completely ignore her existence which hurt Fiona when she found that he did. She did notice that he hadn't bothered to leave her. Besides Scourge's attitude about this whole thing she was happy about it. She wasn't going to let Scourge ruin this experience for her completely. Whenever the baby moved she giggled. She rubs her stomach while Scourge is there. She notices the side glances he has been giving her. Fiona was very smart. She could see the look of wonder if he could actually feel the baby's foot tap her stomach from inside. She has even made him touch her stomach rather it was because they were arguing and she was in his face or she did it on purpose.

Fiona walked in the kitchen for her topical morning breakfast, which was, coffee and two bagels. But they were non-fat so she couldn't put on too much weight, which to Scourge wasn't working to well. But only because he wanted to piss her off. Scourge came in after her. He had been sleeping on the couch to which Fiona did not mind or she acted like she didn't.

"Good morning." He said. Fiona looked up a little shocked. He didn't say anything to her unless she said something to him. Maybe their argument from the night before did change something or move him forward.

-Last Night-

Fiona and Scourge sat on the couch leaving the middle empty. They were basically watching television but refusing to talk to one another. Fiona was, of course, hurt by this but she wasn't about to kiss Scourge's ass. He wanted to act like one so she didn't see why she shouldn't let him.

Fiona jumped slightly feeling that all-powerful kick from her unborn child. She smiled looking down at her stomach.

"Someone is a little restless." She said rubbing her stomach. She didn't understand how she could fall in love with something she hasn't seen yet. But she was in love with this baby and he wasn't even there yet.

Scourge glanced at her. He watched how affectionate Fiona was being the infant. Talking to him. Showing him attention. Singing to him. Matter-of-fact. They were supposed to find out what 'it' is supposed to be tomorrow. He tried his hardest to not get attached in anyway but he found that hard to do.

"Instead of staring why don't you see what I am talking about? He's having a party in there." Fiona said. Scourge jumped slightly being caught off-guard and embarrassed for staring.

"I'm good." Fiona almost growled.

"Scourge, stop acting stupid. You think I haven't noticed." Scourge looked at her like she was stupid but he knew exactly what she meant.

"What are you talking about?" Fiona knew the emerald hedgehog was…stubborn. It took her so long to get him to say I love you. She knew it was going to be the hardest thing to get him to convince that he loves their child.

"Scourge cut the bull. I see every little glance you give me when I rub my stomach, when I sing to it, talk to it." Before Scourge knew it she had grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. And held it there.

Scourge glared at her. "Let go of my hand, Fiona." She rolled her eyes at him. He knew deep down inside that this was exciting his heart. This feeling was…foreign but it was a proud feeling. To tell the truth, he couldn't really explain it. It was just a feeling that made his heart jump in excitement. Especially, when the unborn infant moved around under his touch. Scourge swore he was pretty fast seeing as Scourge was moving his hand and the fetus went where ever his hand moved.

Fiona smiled. "See." Scourge slowly took his hand off her stomach. She looked at him confused.

Scourge shook his head. Was he ready for something like this? Was he, really, ready to become a father?

Fiona, on the other hand, was a little annoyed. "Scourge, what is wrong now?" She asked.

"I'm…not ready for this." She barely heard what he said because he said it in almost a whisper.

"What do you mean your not ready?" She asked looking to him. Scourge only looked down to the floor. Matter-of-fact what Fiona hadn't noticed yet was Scourge hadn't started putting his plans in motion since they found out about her being pregnant. Scourge was lucky she hadn't.

He only shook his head again making Fiona sigh. "Scourge, you better start getting ready because he is going to be here soon." Scourge didn't say anything so she continued. "I mean I know how you felt about your father but your not him. Your Scourge. You were able to conquer a whole planet without worry but you can't conquer this." She said pointing to her stomach.

Scourge only looked at her. "It's not that easy Fiona. Those were things that had nothing to do with me like he does." Fiona only sighed as Scourge got up.

"Where are you going now?" She asked as he walked over to the front door.

"Out for a run."

"Scourge, if you can't do this why haven't you left yet?" That stopped Scourge from opening the door all together.

Scourge growled a sigh. "Because I don't want to."He whispered before dashing off leaving Fiona confused because she didn't hear what he said.

Fiona sighed. "Good morning, ultrasound is today." Scourge was confused about what that was not much to Fiona's surprise.

"What is that?" Fiona wanted to laugh.

She giggled somewhat. "It helps US find out what the infant is."

"Like if is a boy or girl?" Fiona giggled a little harder.

"Yes, and if the baby will be a hedgehog or fox." She swore she saw him stand up straight when she said that. Could he be coming around? Then it hit her. If he knew that the infant was coming out a hedgehog he will come completely around or at least see things differently.

Scourge was actually nervous about this. He had been trying to keep his tough guy exterior through this entire time but he noticed it was falling. He was pretty sure Fiona was noticing too. For five month he had ignored her but did she think that was easy for him. To tell the truth it was the hardest and, even he had to admit, it was the cruelest thing he had done to her. It was easy at first but when she started showing it became hard. When she jumped from the fetus's kick he wanted to feel. When she rubbed her stomach because the baby moved he wanted to feel. He missed holding her at night. He was too stubborn to realize that she was willing to forgive him. If he was willing to take this responsibility like she was.

"Ms. Fox." Scourge and Fiona looked up to see a nurse waiting for them at a door leading to the back of the hospital. Most likely the ultrasound room.

Fiona wasted no time dragging Scourge back there with her. They got to the room. Scourge's mind went a whole different direction while the nurse and Fiona chit-chatted about the baby. He was…excited? But why was he if didn't want this kid? Maybe he did want this kid but maybe he is afraid. But what was he afraid of? That he may turn out like his own father? No, he will never be his own father. He is better than his father but then he realized he is being just like his dad. Ignoring his own child.

"Scourge, look." The emerald hedgehog was brought from his thoughts seeing Fiona had tapped him. "Look at the screen." He looked to her but she wasn't looking to him. He looked at the screen. He saw a hand and foot.

"It's looks like a hedgehog." The nurse said giving Scourge and Fiona a warm smile.

"Wow, I wonder what color his fur will be." Fiona said. She felt the tear slide down her face. She had waited so long to see this infant and now she is laying here looking at him. She wished he could see her too. "You see, Scourge." She looked back to see him…smiling?

"I see quills…yep he's definitely a hedgehog." Scourge ears jumped slightly from that.

"It's…a boy?" He asked. Fiona looked to him then to the nurse.

"Yep. You guys got a boy hedgehog." Fiona slowly took Scourge's hand to which he squeezed hers. Scourge felt …proud…happy. Matter-of-fact this made him feel more proud and happy than taking over Anti-Mobius and renaming it Moebius. That is when he realized. He couldn't be like his dad. He couldn't understand why his father acted in such a way when a feeling like this was so great. Such a proud feeling to have something you created. Looks just like you, acts just like you. He couldn't ignore this kid. He wouldn't ignore HIS kid any longer.

Next chapter we welcome Felix. And we learn his whole name. ;)
