The Fastest Fetus in The West

The Mysterious Father

I stumbled through the streets of the Green Hill Zone, my mind reeling with the implications of my pregnancy. Who was the father? I hadn't exactly been... uh... romantically involved with anyone recently. (blushes)

As I approached my house, I saw Tails waiting for me on the porch. He looked up at me with concern etched on his face. "Sonic, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

I took a deep breath, trying to think of how to break the news to him. "Tails, I... I have something to tell you."

But before I could continue, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Shadow the Hedgehog, his usual brooding expression replaced by a look of... could it be? Guilt?

"Sonic," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "I think I need to talk to you about something."

My eyes narrowed. "What is it, Shadow?"

He hesitated, then spoke in a rush. "I think I might be the father of your... um... condition."

My jaw dropped. Shadow? The father of my child? It was unthinkable! (gasp)

But as I looked at him, I saw something in his eyes that gave me pause. Could it be true? Was Shadow the father of my baby?
