Sorry for the wait… the story continues

-Shadow's POV-

I grip the steering wheel hard. Staring down the long, almost never ending road, cigarette in hand

"I really need to stop smoking." I mumble to myself. But we all need a little something for the pain right? I place the bud in the ash tray and try taking deep breaths to get my mind off of things.

I pulled up to the field and saw, just like it has always been, empty and beautiful. I slowly glide over to the long grass and lay down, looking up at the blue sky and then glancing over at the spot Rouge was laying in just hours before. God, she looked beautiful. I place my hand on the spot she laid in and twirled the grass around my fingers, inhaling the smell of the earth and trying to imagine her here with me, yearning for that smell of peaches. When I don't receive what I want I frown and flip back over on my back, watching the cloud slowly waltz across the sky before I doze off.

-Rouge's POV-

We reach the coffee shop and I leap out of car before it even stop. When I barge in, everyone's eyes are on me and I must have looked like a mad woman. My mascara was dripping down my face and I could almost imagine how my hair must have looked, we were going almost 90 on the way here.

"SHADOW?!" I shout. I wanted to see his fur. His black fur, and those bloody red eyes. That's what I wanted, and it wasn't here. I search through the wave of people, watching me to see what the crazy celebrity on crack would do next.

I could hear their voices but I didn't care much.

"Hey…is that Rouge?"

"Omg that's her!"

"Knuckles girl?"

"What the fuck happened to her…"

"She's probably on drugs."

"She is way prettier on the magazine covers"

The blue hedgehog comes out from behind the counter and over to me. "Your Rouge rig-"

"Where's Shadow?" I mumble desperately. My voice was shaky, maybe because I was shaking. People began pulling their phones out, recording.

"He left. I don't know whe-"

Before he could finish, I was out the door. I knew exactly where he was.

-Knuckle's POV-

I laid in my bed, Shade snuggled up under me as I flicked through the channels. We were naked, tangled in the sheets, and drowsy. Nothing good was on TV.

"Babe…" Shade whispers.

"Hm?"

"I'm…I-I'm late." Her head then turns to me and her face is so serious. I laugh.

"Late? Late for what? The fuck." I laugh and she punches me in my arm.

"Shut up. I'm saying I haven't gotten my period. I'm late."

We stay in silence. "…What are you saying?" I begin to push her off of me and get out the bed. I grab some boxers and pull them on, and start searching the floor for my jeans.

"I'm saying I think I'm pregna-."

"No!" I shout over her. "Don't fucking say that! Rouge cannot find out about us. Do you understand what the fuck this can do my career?" I give up on finding my jeans and sit down at the corner on my bed. I place my head in my hands. She had to be joking. Girls try to trap guys all of the time, this was a joke. A sick joke.

"Knuckles you told me you were going to leave her. We now is you chance."

I laugh. "What did you just say?"

"I'm pregnant with your child. You're going to be a father and you need to tell her so that we can finally be happy together. No more hiding."

I get up from the bed and look down at her. "Are you serious right now? You're not pregnant. I'm not the father. And we're not telling Rouge anything. Do you understand?!"

Tears weld up in her eyes and I can tell she's going to start screaming.

"Either you tell her or I will…" She mumbles. She then scatters all around the room, finding her clothes and marches out of my room, out of my house and I groan begin punching the bed.

"You really managed to fuck shit up now Knuckles." I say to myself, and go to my phone to text Rouge. She hasn't been home in hours.

-Rouge's POV-

We pull up to the field and hi angelic body was laying in the grass, still.

"Shadow!" I shout from the car, grabbing the latch to open the door and His head rises and slowly turns. He rubs his eyes, thinking he was dreaming but once he recognizes me he sits up more.

"R-Rouge?"

I run over to him, tears in my eyes. He looked so beautiful. His red eyes filled the empty spot I had been feeling. My desire was fulfilled and when I get to him I slow down and he stands up and we stand there staring at each other. As if this was unreal.

"Kiss or some shit goddamn!" Amy yells from the car and me and Shadow join in a laugh and he cautiously walks up to me. He wipes the tear from my cheek.

"How'd you know I would be here?"

"This is where you go to calm down. I figured you'd be here. I missed you." I rake my fingers through the white patch on his chest. "Sorry I was so stupi-"

His lips interlock with mine and its as if all of the weight on my shoulders were lifted off of me. I was finally at peace. I was where I wanted to be, for the first time in my life. Right here, in his arms.
