Hey everyone. I'm sooo sorry about making you wait. I had a little writer's block and I needed some help. Thank you, Savvy cutie! XD Also, it's very hard to type with your finger bandaged...
Also, the song I put in this is called 'Derpy's Lullaby'. Please look it up on Youtube to know how it goes and I hope you all like it. I might even sing this to my children. ^/^
Chapter 5 A Gentle Lullaby
The night went by fast as the citizens of Mobius were already in bed. Amy was tucked in tightly with her baby boyfriend in her arms. Sonic stayed over just in case, but was only sleeping on the couch. It was rough, but he made it through the whole night. Luckily for him, he wasn't able to hear baby Shadow cry at all. He woke up a few times crying for attention, or he was fussy. Amy awoke instantly and held him in her arms. She was tired, of course, but considering that she knew this would happen made her understand and to keep patient.
Right now, the young rose was holding baby Shadow sitting on the edge of the bed. She cradled him gently as he started to slowly fall back to sleep. She smiled at his cute tiny form nestled in her peach arms. He began to purr quietly snuggling up into her chest. Amy blushed a little, but shook her head to forget it.
She started to gently pet the little baby's head, "Go to sleep, Shadow." she cooed.
Baby Shadow fluttered his eyes wanting to stay awake, but from her slow rocking, it was getting a little hard. She looked up in thought wondering what to do. A tiny imaginary light bulb appeared over her head as her green eyes sparkled, "That's it." she said looking back down at the young hogglet.
The baby cooed at her gently pawing his tiny gloved hands on her chest. Amy continued her loving movements as she began to sing.
"Stars and moons and air balloons,
fluffy clouds to the horizon.
I'll wrap you in rainbows and
rock you to sleep again.
Teddy bears of pink,
ducks and lambs of white.
Don't you cry dear I'm here now,
I'll be your night light."
Her gentle singing was much harder to not sleep through. Baby Shadow started to doze off instantly whining quietly. He nuzzled his tiny head to her chest once more as his purrs grew louder. Amy's smile brightened while she continued.
"Stars and moons and air balloons,
fluffy clouds to the horizon.
I'll wrap you in rainbows and
rock you to sleep again.
Smile to cure the frowns,
twirling and tumbling in laughter.
Someday life will always be,
happily ever after.
Never more will the storms come,
to destroy your little world.
Never more will the waters rise,
'til the mountains no longer touch the skies.
Stars and moons and air balloons,
fluffy clouds to the horizon.
I'll wrap you in rainbows and
rock you to sleep again.
I'll wrap you in rainbows,
and rock you to sleep again."
Soft snoring was heard from the small infant in her arms. The rose hedgehog looked down seeing that her lullaby worked perfectly. She stood up carefully without a sudden move to wake him up again, then gently placed him back onto the bed where he was before. Inside, she felt like a real mother taking care of a small baby like Shadow. A sudden blush appeared on her cheeks thinking of how it would be if 'her' child would be in her arms sleeping like him.
Amy moved to her side and wrapped her arms around him. She was glad she didn't move around much in her sleep. Afraid that she would roll on top of him and suficate the poor thing. Tomorrow, she would buy a new crib for him for just a while till they find a cure for him. She smiled letting out a cute little giggle from her lips remembering how older Shadow would be in this.
They snuggle up in bed and he would wrap his strong protective arms around her so she would be warm and safe. Now it was her turn to be the protective one and be responsible to keep her baby boyfriend safe. Amy closed her eyes thinking a little. Another small giggle escaped before going to sleep herself.
"I wonder what it would be like if Shadow and I had a child...?"
