Ok, for those of you who were eager... Thank you. For those of you found this to be something to waste time... I thank you for wasting your time with this. :3 This is the last chapter of Light In The Dark. And so, let us begin...
Chapter 14- Proposal.
Normal Pov.
Shadow held open the box, inside held a black and red halter top dress, black and pearl earrings and a matching necklace. Beside the accessories, were two black heels, with black pearls at the buckles. Amy stood shocked.
"Shadow... That dress is... Beautiful..." She never took her eyes off of Shadow.
"Rose, My Love... I want you, to where this dress tonight. Because, I think it brings out EVERYTHING about you. Poise, Grace, Elegance, Intelligence, even your Sexy side." He chuckled as the blush on his face grew more noticeable, he ducked his head lower.
Amy still stood there. Her hands cupping her mouth and a smile creepily stretching its way across her face. "Shadow... Of course!"
"I'm glad, Rose... I'm so glad." Shadow places the box on the dresser and quickly grabbed socks and black dress shoes.
"Oh, Shadow..." She swayed to the dresser, sliding her fingers along the edge of the box and stopping Shadow before he could leave. "I love you, Shadow."
"Rose... 'I love you', is no longer enough to express my feelings. Until I can, I love you, is perfect." He kissed Amys cheek, then her forehead, her nose until he found her lips.
"Shadow..." Amy squeaked between kisses.
"Amy...?" Shadow pulled away, smiling holding his life by her waist.
"Don't want to be late..." She smiled, fixing his lapels and putting her arms on his arms.
"Oh, right.. ill be waiting downstairs Rose..." He kissed her quick and left Amy to change.
Amy marveled at the dress and easily undid the zipper, she pulled the dress up and zipped up the back. She began tying the halter strings and fixing the little decorative balls that Hung at the base of her strings. Sliding the black heels up, she reached for the earrings and necklace. She gazed, marveling the black and pearl object she held.
Shadow fixed his lapels and gotten his coat, he slid the small box into his inner pocket and sighed shakily. Knuckles passed by the foyer from the kitchen, he waltzed over to the nervous Shadow.
"Bro.. I have to thank you, a lot. I... Im sorry I almost crashed the surprise with me being there... It woulda been awkward." Knuckles gave Shadow a playful slap on his back and Shadow chuckled.
"Of course, you've proven your loyalty over the year. I did want today to be perfect, so I have to thank you, just for being there. So, thank you." Shadow playfully punched Knuckles chest.
Both od them heard heels clacking on the steps, they directed there faces Amy, in her stunning black and red halter top dress.
Knuckles gave a sly whistle and pinched Shadow, "Wake up, you aren't dreaming." And walked to the recroom.
"Shadow... I look amazing! Thank you so much..." She grabbed his arms and sighed. She had black eye liner on and blush. With or without it, Shadow loved her person, rather that her looks.
"Of course, Rose... I would love how you look in sweat pants, hell, even if you had stains. It wouldn't matter." He kissed her and reached for his keys. "Red, not too late, and Knuckles? Be careful."
"Kay! Bye, Dad-" Red shut her mouth right quick, blushing at the slip of her tongue.
Shadow leaned in and kissed her forehead. "We'll be home late, Red. There is money near the fridge in case Knuckles falls asleep."
He patted her, still shocked and flustered and left. Red had the only smile on her face and slight tears stinging her eyes...
-At The Restaurant-
"Ah, Mister Shadow and Lady Amy. You are right on time! I like that. You're table is this way." The host showed Amy and Shadow to their seats, Shadow pulled out Amy's and sat her down. He sat down and accepted the menus from the waitress.
"What would you like, Rose?" Shadow said. His palms getting clammy.
"How about the chicken parmesan and the bread woth butter?" Amy said not looking up from her menu.
"Ok, are you ready to order, though?"
"Oh, sure."
Shadow hailed a waiter and gave him the orders, then he whispered something in the waiters ear and the waiter smiled nodding.
Amy handed back the menu, oblivious to Shadow and the waiters little discussion. "Oh, Shadow... This is sooo romantic. Look at this place! They have ROSES for centerpieces!"
Shadow swooned at Amys voice. Just the sound of it made him farther than weak at the knees.
"Shadow? You ok? You look queasy..." Amys eyes went from excited to concerned.
"Oh, no. Not queasy... I just have those feelings when we first started out... Reliving, as you'd say." He half lidded his eyes giving her a passionate stare.
"Aww, Shadow. That's too cute. Oh, look, our appetizers!" Her eyes quickly diverted to the bread, butter and sauce being placed at either side of the table.
-After Dinner-
Shadow hailed the same waiter from before and the man nodded assuringly. Shadow sighed and wiped his mouth with is napkin. He quickly patted the part where his heart was to check for the small black box. It was time.
The lights became a little brighter in the restaurant. Many people were curious and they heard a glass clinking. Amy stared at Shadow who stood up from his seat, tapping his glass.
"Shadow what are you doing...?" She hardly spoke, more like mouthed.
"Excuse me, everyone, first off, I hope you are all enjoying your evenin." Most nodded and others smiled. "That's good, for those of you who want to enjoy a peaceful dinner, please pardon me, but I must do this. Bare with me."
Scattered chuckles and claps filled the dining hall. Shadow swallowed harshly and sighed shakily.
"I want to give a toast, to my... Love, My Life, for changing my life, for the better and for being there, through thick and thin. I love you for the little things you do, and I appreciate you for the bigger things you do." Shadow went around the table and held Amys hands. "Amy, can you stand up?"
"Shadow...? What-"
"Please...?" Shadow held her forearms and gently lifted her from her seat. Her eyes widened and a smile kept itself plastered to her face.
"Amy Rose. I loved you from the beginning. The moment you hugged me I felt flustered, I saw how determined you were, and fell in love with that enthusiasm, that passion in whatever you do. And now..." He got down on one knee. Keeping eye contact the whole way, he reached in his jacket pocket and pulled out a red velvet box.
"Oh, my god..." Amy mumbled, she began blushing and biting her lip, holding back tears, but it didn't stop her face from turning bright red.
"Amy Rose Marie the Hedgehog. Would you ... Will you marry me?" Shadow felt a tear fall on his cheek. Amy couldn't hold the fat tears that she so desperately tried to hold in.
Amys breathing had shallowed, she only saw the one man in front of her. He who held her secrets, her love, her acceptance. She took a deep breath and leaned down to Shadow.
"Yes."
Cheers and applaud came from the crowd, the bells resounded around the church. It was the next year, March 17, the day of their wedding. Shadow carried Amy to a limousine with the white bells and a banner, 'JUST MARRIED'. Amys dress flowed with Cream following swiftly behind her. Shadow wore peach and pink colored roses and the biggest smile on his face. As the limousine doors shut, the attendees had all gotten ready to go to the reception.
At the suite, Amy had changed into a pink and black party dress, being carefully with her belly bump as she gently tied the ribbon at her back.
"Shadow... I love you so much..." Amy caressed her belly and shed a tear.
"I love you, and you," He rubbed her belly, holding there 40 week year old baby. (About 8 months.) "Very, VERRYYY, much."
He kissed his wifes head and guided her to the reception.
It was kinda fun to write this, I honestly had no idea if it was good or not because the only reviews I got were 'THIS IS GREAT!', or, 'OMG SHADAMY...!' I don't mind them, I loved them :) honestly, I just needed some sort of feed back about what I was doing wrong. :P lol. Hope you liked, hell I even hope you were aggravated! As long as you had some kind of feeling! XD
