Child?!

Chapter 3: Concerned

Sonic's POV:

It's been a 2 weeks now. I haven't left the room. I haven't been in the mood to get out. Most of my friends are concerned over me. I won't answer their texts, calls, or knocks on my door. I'm a mess, how the hell am I supposed to take care of a child in this situation? I'm a hero, I'm always in danger, how do I just stop? I know it wouldn't be good for the baby, but who would fill in? What would I tell people?

Today is the usual. I was rotting in bed. My phone was full of messages and calls. It was mostly from Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge. Others were worried as well, but not as much as they were. My phone was on Do not disturb and silent. If the calls got too frequent, I would shut off my phone. They knew I was home, so they would occasionally try and get into the house. They never succeeded. Knuckles has threatened to break down the door, but Tails and Amy wouldn't let him. They worried and cared about me.. except one person. The person I needed the most right now.

What would I expect anyways? It wasn't like one night was going to change anything. I just thought that maybe I would have a slight chance, but I guess I got my hopes too high. I haven't told the ebony hedgehog. I'm afraid he'll push me away even more and abandon me. However, this was also his child and he deserves to know about it. I'm just hesitating.

Again, the gang tried to get me out of my house, knocking hard against my front door. I could hear them outside. Their voices filled with concern. I feel horrible, but I didn't want them to know. Rouge had a clue of it since I went quiet ever since she said there was a possibility I was carrying. Still, I wouldn't let her in or officially know. I feel alone.. vulnerable. After what seemed to be an hour, they finally gave up. I sighed and just watched the ceiling in bed. All these thoughts swirling around my head..

Shadow's POV:

It's been about 1 month and 2 weeks that I haven't seen the blue idiot. I've avoided him for the month, but Rouge has informed me that Sonic went missing in action for the 2 weeks now. It's not like I'm not worried or anything, but I can't let that show. However, Rouge has been hinting that it may have been my fault. You see, I told her about that night at her club. She wasn't as surprised as I thought she would be. Apparently, she was waiting for it to happen. It's whatever though.

Rouge texted me that today they weren't successful of getting that stubborn blue out of his house. I huffed at the message and decided to finally build up the courage and see Sonic. I messaged Rouge that I'll give it a shot. Of course, she replied with "good luck" as if it'll help. I got out my house and walked to Sonic's house. Why was this idiot even locked away?

I soon arrived at Sonic's place. I knocked on his door and sighed. No answer of course, what would I expect? I messaged Sonic twice that I was outside. I had one last try and called the blue hedgehog. After a couple rings on the phone, he finally answered.

"Finally, I'm outside, idiot. Let me in." I said. Even though I should've been worried and concerned, my stubbornness wouldn't let that happen.

"Why are you even here?" Sonic replied over the phone. His voice sounded raspy and quiet. That was unusual and a bit concerning, but still I kept my composure.

"To see you. You haven't left your house in 2 weeks. Let me in, Hedgehog." I replied to his question. Silence hit until I heard some shuffling over the phone. Finally, I heard the front door unlock. I quickly cut the call once Sonic opened the door. Let's just say he looked like a mess.

His quills were all messed up, he had dark bags underneath his eyes, and was pale. Now I was definitely worried. My ears slightly flattening at the sight. "What happened to you?" I asked looking over his weak appearance.

"Why do you care?" Sonic asked with a small sigh. His voice deeper than what I could remember.

"Because your friends are, now you either let me in and we talk or you lock yourself back in there rotting away." I spoke sternly. There's no way I could let him stay like this.

He quietly huffed and opened the door a bit more, going aside to let me in. I walked in, of course I had manners and slipped my shoes off. I sat on the couch. He shut the door behind me and sat next to me. "So, what happened?" I asked Sonic again.

Silence once again. What the hell is wrong with this hedgehog..?
