Normal POV

Arctic stood, nearly trembling in fear at the sight of those guards from the same slavery that still haunted her mind. One of the males was a dark gray bat with black spiked hair between his large, pale ears. His golden eyes glared very seriously towards the couple, especially at the expectant fox.
The male beside him was a squirrel that kinda looked similar to Ray, except was as tall as the adult bat. His fur was an auburn red with two bangs spiked over his seafome green eyes. He wasnt really glaring daggers into Arctic, just having his arms crossed with a melancholy look across his face.

"Can I help you two with something?" Scourge asked in his usual, uncaring voice he never thought to use with Arctic around, nonetheless towards her.
"We hate to bother you your majesty, but we were ordered from the head of the slavery department to come here." The squirrel began in a deep tone of voice. "It seems that your slave is in violation of her title and code." He stated.

"I dont really see how, considering she's been nothing less than perfect to me." Scourge said, giving a confident smirk that he had things under control. Arctic didnt notice it, she barely noticed anything else at the moment. Her lavender toned eyes just stared intently upon the belts those two were wearing, containing whips, tasers, along with other weapons. The same type they used to break her in the slavery estate.
"Its not strictly about whether or not she's been doing her job or not, its more along the lines of that." The bat said in a dark voice that nearly matched Shadows, pointing towards her bloated belly that protected Scourges child.

"So she got a little fat, im not complaining." the emerald king said, still the two men would not leave without this slave.
"Sire, she is clearly pregnant with your child if you havent noticed. So were here to take her back to the slavery, deal with the child, then deliver you a new slave. One that follows the rules a little better." The bat hissed towards the fox, who whimpered and hid behind Scourge.

'This cant be happening, this just cant be happening! I cant let them take me back to that torture chamber and kill my baby. And I cant let them take me away from Scourge, not when we've come so far to be so close, so deep in our love.' Arctic thought, gripping her hand in his gloved one. Never wanting to let go of it.

"Not only that, but she cant have free will like this. Her being too wild, like destroying nearly her whole clan almost twice, is the whole reason she's just a piece of property. And if we were to let that demonic child be born into the world with unstable powers like the mother, it'd be Armageddon." Said the squirrel, reaching to grab Arctics arm but Scourge smacked it away.
"Thats not a nice thing to say about my child. Or my girl." Scourge said in a sinister, threatening voice.

"Well she belongs to us, so were leaving with her one way or another." The bat said, gripping Arctics arm harshly, slowly creating a bruise.
"Ow, let me go you jerks! Scourge, dont let them take me!" Arctic cried, reaching for her green lover.

"Shut up, worthless slave." The squirrel said nonchalantly, taking a leather whip off his utility belt and whipping Arctic hard in the face. Shrieking in the familiar burn, falling to her knees while caressing her marked cheek.
Scourge growled deeply seeing her in pain, tears building in her eyes from all this fear. In a flash, Scourge appeared in front of Arctic, fangs bared

"You wanna keep both your arms, you'll back off her!" Scourge said with much venom.
"She belongs to us, she's nothing but property." The squirrel stated as the green hedgehog had to think of something. He'd do anything right now to keep Arctic safe and sound with him, not to mention keep their child safe.
"Then...ill change that right now." Scourge said slowly, crouching to Arctics level. Taking a moment to carefully wipe the crystal tears out of her eyes, he tilted her chin so she'd look into his ice blue eyes. The frosted fox felt so safe around him.

"Arctic Nightfox, will you be my bride?" He asked softly, getting quite a reaction out of the three mobians or moebians in the room. Especially Arctic.
"W-what?" Arctic stuttered, pulling him close with the corner of his jacket, speaking in a soft voice. "Scourge, you dont have to do this to prove anything. You can just sign some papers and we can be together." She pointed out.

"I know Arc, but im doing this because I want to. Its basically the thing thats been keeping me busy." He pointed out, taking one of her delicate, shaky paws in both of his to steady them. "I lost Fiona, I never wanna lose you Arc. Your just...just..gah I cant even describe it. Thats been my problem." He said, rolling his eyes while Arctic thought about something for a moment before leading Scourge to another room. Being completely alone.

"If you truly love me with all your heart, as I do towards you, then look inside. Process your emotions into words." She said softly, no longer scared as the guards werent around to hurt or disturb them.

Scourge did as he was told, really wanting to tell Arctic how special he was. Like this all wasnt just for him being alone or getting a queen, but because he really was in love.

Exhaling a heavy sigh through his curved nose, he looked towards her.
"Alright babe." He began, thinking of where to start. "Basically, you've really impacted my life ever since I found you. For one thing, you kinda saved my life from being thrown into the zone of Silence by my own girlfriend, who was also cheating on me behind my back." He began, growling at the memory of Fi betraying him, but shook his head instantly.

"Anyways, after a while you made me feel all these new...feelings." He nearly choked out. "It all started when I slapped you at Stripes place. I had feelings of anger at myself for hurting you like that, regret and sadness for making you so scared of me when we were getting to a good start. Lastly, there was this mysterious new feeling I had as to why I cared so much about your safety." He continued, gripping both her shoulders firmly but not to rough, staring so deeply into her eyes and soul.

"Then I realized it was real love. Suddenly all I wanted was for you to be with me. To be safe and sound in my arms, to feel you sleeping peacefully on my chest at night, to carry my child and be my queen. And I swore to Chaos, if I ever got you for myself, that id never ever hurt you again." Scourge said. Arctic sniffled, feeling tears forming from his words of romance flow into her ears like poetry. "I love you Arctic Nightfox, and I never wanna be without you. So will you be my wife?"

Arctic couldnt hold back the tears anymore, letting them flood into rivers down her furry muzzle.
"Scourge, I love you too." She said in a soft voice, hiccuping a few times. "This is just...so amazing. Everyday I feel like all this is too good to be true, like its all a dream that I have you for myself. That im carrying your child. Even if this was all a dream and I wake up in that slavery one day, id go through all this again to be with you. To be your wife." She said, wrapping her arms tenderly around his neck, locking lips again.

As the engaged couple shared a loving kiss mixed with tears and a few laughs in between, both guards just rolled their eyes annoyingly at the sight. As if it disgusted them.
"He may be the king, but he's such an idiot." The bat said, walking out of the castle, followed by the squirrel. Scourge didnt care what they said, all he knew was he really had Arctic for himself.

Now all they had to worry about was the baby, being born in only 3 months.
