It had been two weeks since I had figured out I was pregnant and I was officially two months in. Which was why I decided to invite everyone to my house for a get together. Granted I had to put it by Shadow first but still. I was ready.
"Shadow. I think it's time." I told him over breakfast that morning.
"Time for what?" He asked while shoving another piece of pancake into his mouth.
"Time to tell everyone else that I'm pregnant." I said as I awaited his response.
"About time and I'm guessing you're still going along with me being the dad right?" Shadow asked with a tilt of his head.
"Yes. I know you don't like the story I came up with but.. I just can't Shadow. I'm not ready for that yet." I said with an involuntary shudder that came up everytime I thought about Platinum and what he did to me.
Shadow just huffed before finishing his food.
I felt guilty but it was for the best. If I wasn't doing this out of my own cowardliness then I was doing it for the new life that was growing inside of me.
I sighed and then I called up everyone one by one and invited them to my house for a 'meeting' I was so not ready for this.
It was one hour later and everyone was in my house looking around when I took my stand.
"Everyone! I have an announcement to make!" I shouted and everyone looked at me and I felt a wave of nausea that wasn't morning sickness and I shuffled my feet.
Behind me Shadow put his hand on my shoulder and I looked back at him and he nodded at me in his own way of encouraging me and I took a deep breath.
"Everyone. I am pregnant. I.. Can't say what happened but.. Shadow will be acting as the dad." I said as I went off my carefully woven script which was 'Hey everyone me and Shadow had a one night stand and he is now my baby daddy lol'
For a moment there was silence and then.. All hell broke loose.
"SHADOW! AMY! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" Said a very shocked Sonic.
"Amy you can't just drop a bomb like that and not expect us to ask what the hell happened!" Snapped a angry Tails
"OOOH! DO YOU HAVE A NAME FOR THE BABY YET!?" Squealed an excited Cream.
Knuckles and Rouge stayed silent while Shadow sipped his soda.
"Sonic. I am serious. You're too damn flighty to be a parent and Tails. If I don't want to talk about it I don't have too and as for your question Cream. I'm honestly not sure." I said answering all three queries in one sentence.
Sonic looked outraged at this and Tails simply groaned while Cream beamed at me comfortingly.
"Faker if you and the fox are just going to cause trouble then you both can leave. Amy has said what she needed to say to everyone and that's that." Shadow admonished.
Sonic just glared and then he looked over to me.
"Amy. You can't go through with this! I don't know who you had sex with but.. You just can't." Sonic pleaded.
"And why do you care so much? You don't even love me like that Sonic. You said it yourself. I'm like your sister." I snapped at him.
"EXACTLY! WHICH IS WHY YOU CAN'T GO HAVING A STRANGER'S BABY!" Sonic practically roared.
"So you just want to end a pure innocent life then before it even has a chance to see the damn world? Is that what you want Sonic?" I growled.
"NO!" Sonic said, eyes wide.
"Well then that solves that then doesn't it?" I told him with crossed arms.
"Amy. Listen. I believe what Sonic's trying to say is. Is that this child needs a loving family. You and Shadow don't actually love each other." Tails tried to explain.
I merely shot him a glare. "And? Shadow still agreed to be the dad."
"And you probably forced him too." Sonic grumbled.
"Amy didn't force me to do shit." Shadow suddenly snapped.
"Then why the fuck did you agree to be a dad?" Sonic growled at Shadow.
"Because. You're immature, Tails is 10 years old, And Knuckles would never say yes because he would never leave the master emerald." Shadow explained.
Sonic didn't have an answer and so he snarled and whipped around.
"I hope your mystery child makes you happy Amy. Come on Tails." Sonic growled before leaving.
"Good fucking riddance." Shadow snapped after his back and then Knuckles finally spoke.
"So.. Would anyone like to explain what actually happened?" Knuckles questioned.
"No." I grumbled before going to my room.
I have no idea how long I sat there silently sniffling to myself because I knew Sonic would react badly but I didn't expect that.
"Amy." Shadow mumbled from my door.
"Go away Shadow. I seriously cannot handle you right now." I said and hissed afterward to make sure that my point got across.
Shadow sighed. "Are you decent?"
"Yes." I mumbled.
Shadow barged in after that and I bared my teeth at him but he ignored me and sat down on the edge of my bed.
"Are you alright?" He mumbled.
"No. Sonic really showed his ass and I'm upset." I told Shadow.
Shadow didn't speak for awhile but that was fine. I was okay. I would be okay.
"Look. Amy. Sonic and Tails are just being dicks. Ignore their ass's." Shadow growled.
"I know. Thanks Shadow." I said with a smile before laying down and situating myself.
Shadow stared at me for a long moment before vanishing down the hall. I sighed once before going to bed.
