The Birth


(Theme song - Hang in there Baby - Good Luck Charlie)


(Abigail's POV)

*Five months have gone by since me & Shadow got married. We spent our honeymoon in Soleanna & it was beautiful. Right now, I was at my parents house while Shadow was on a mission in the Great Dessert. That was the plan until the baby arrived. "I had just sat down on the couch with a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, when suddenly I felt a jab of pain in my stomach*

Abigail: Really!? Can't you at least wait until I finish my ice cream!? *I felt another jab of pain* Okay, we'll do it your way. *I reached for the phone & dialed a number* Shadow? Honey it's time, the baby's coming.

Shadow:*off-screen* What!? You're not due for another two weeks! I'm in the middle of the desert!

Abigail: Oh, will you calm down. I've fought giant robots & evil wizards, I can handle giving birth.

Shadow:*off-screen* Okay. I'll try to be there as soon as possible. I love you.

Abigail: I love you too. *I hung up* Mom! Dad!

*My parents (my Dad carrying my little brother), Grandpa, & Huck soon ran into the room*

Robert: What!? What is it, pumpkin!?

Huckleberry: Chao-Chao?

Abigail:*clutching her stomach* it's time.

All: It's time!?

Huckleberry: Chao!

Laura: Okay, everyone, get to your stations! Robert, get the car ready and grab the diaper bag!

Robert: Yes, dear!

*He ran upstairs with Toby still in his arm*

Laura: Father, call the hospital!

Lawrence: Right away!

*He quickly picked up the phone & dialed the hospital. Mom ran up to me*

Laura: Sweetie, deep breaths.

*She helped me outside as I took steady breaths. Huck was right behind us*


(Shadow's POV)

*As soon as I hung up my phone, I turned to one of our G.U.N. ships. It had been shot down in a battle & was currently going under repairs*

Shadow: Can't you fix that hunk of junk any faster!? I've got to get to New Mobotropolis, now!

. Agent: We're working as fast as we can! But without the proper tools and lack of parts, I'm afraid we're going to be stuck here for quite a while.

Rouge: Well, this is just fantastic. My niece or nephew is about to be born and we're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Shadow: Why would it be your niece or nephew? You're not even related to me or Abby.

Rouge: I was speaking hypothetically.

E-123 Omega: I TO WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING THE OFFSPRING OF THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM.

BOOM!

*We all turned & saw that the ship's engine had exploded. Th Agent doing the repair work came out, covered in soot*

. Agent:*cough* Uh . . . Looks like we're going to be here longer than I thought.

Shadow: ARGH! Forget this! Chaos Control!


(Rouge's POV)

*He disappeared in a flash of green light*

Rough: Hey! Wait for us!

*Me & Omega zoomed away, for The already knew where he was going*


(Shadow's POV)

*As soon as I arrived in New Mobotropolis, I quickly ran towards the hospital, burst in & ran up to the front desk*

Shadow: Abigail Catz! Which room!?

Nurse: R - Room 248

*I ran down the hallway & didn't stop until I found room 248. I practically threw the door open*

Shadow: Abby! I'm here! Everything's okay!

*I was about to say something else, but it died in my throat at the scene in front of me. Abigail was sitting up in bed, holding a blue bundle in her arms. Her family, the Freedom Fighters, & Chaotix were all standing around her. They were all giving me looks of surprise & confusion*


(Abigail's POV)

Robert:*glaring at Shadow* The baby's been born for quite some time now. You're late.

*Shadow slumped down & sweatdropped. Rouge & Omega soon arrived*

Abigail: No, it's okay, Dad. He's right on time. *I turned to my husband* Come hold your son.

*Shadow looked at me surprised. He then walked up to me & picked up the bundle I was holding. Wrapped in a blue blanket was a tiny version of himself, except the baby had orange stripes & blue eyes*

Shadow: Oh, Abby. He's beautiful.

Abigail: Looks just like his Daddy, doesn't he?

Shadow: But he has your eyes.

*Just then, Dr. Quack came in*

Dr. Quack:*to Shadow* You'll be happy to now that there were no complications. It was a fast delivery. Both Mother and baby are just fine.

Shadow: That's good news.

Sonic: So, have you guys decided on the kid's name yet?

*I smiled at Shadow*

Abigail: Well . . . I've always liked the name Daniel. Danny for short. And his middle name must be Gerald.

*Shadow looked surprised, but then smiled*

Shadow: Daniel Gerald Hedgehog. I like that.

Robert: It's perfect.

*I turned to Sonic & Sally*

Abigail: Sonic? Sally? I was wondering . . . If you two would be Danny's Godparents?

*Sonic & Sally looked surprised, but then they both smiled*

Sally: I would be honored.

Sonic: That would be way past cool!

*Shadow then handed Danny back to me & hugged us both*

Abigail: And now, we're finally a family of three.
