Accident Happens (Completed)

Chapter 19

Shadow's POV

I walked to the table and lied down onto the examination bed. I watched dr. Burggen walk towards me and rolled a device along with him. "isn't that for ultrasounds?" I asked. "yes indeed it is. i need to check the health of the baby before aborting it." He answered and lifted my shirt and unbuttoned my pants to get a full view at my belly. He took a tube and put some of it onto my lower belly and then went to search for the baby.

It took him a while. I was almost hoping that this was a false alarm all along. I was facing away from the screen as i didnt want to see it. "aha! there it is." I heard the doctor say. "seems like quite a healthy infant. it's growing good." He said catching my attention on purpose. I turned my head and looked at the screen. He pointed at a small form that was almost unrecognizable on the screen. "tell me, Shadow, do you still want to bring harm to such a small innocent life that would be your own flesh and blood." Dr. Burggen asked me and looked me in the eyes with a serious look in his gentle eyes. "i-i...h-have no o-other cho-oice." I stuttered as my bottom lip started to quiver and i tried to keep my sorrow for myself. Dr. Burggen sighed and put the device away and grabbed a diffirent one.

Sonic's POV

I don't know how long i had been sitting on that bench in the park. But it must've been quite a while as it was starting to become dark. It was raining hard and i was wet to the bone, but i didn't care. I was very cold, but neither did i care about that. I didn't feel like returning home and getting myself dry and warm again. Not before i had gathered my thoughts on this situation. Only then could i go home with a mind that was a bit calmer. Although i would surely have this day in mind for a long time to come.

I heard footsteps approaching me. They sounded slightly familiar so i guessed it was one of my friends. Probably Tails wondering why i hadn't come home yet and came looking for me. I heard the creack of the bench, signaling that the person who had been walking towards me had sat down next to me. "Tails, listen. i know that i didn't come home yet, but i-" I said while looking up, but my talking died down as i noticed who exactly was sitting next to me. "i don't want to see you right, Shadow." I said getting up from the bench and walking away. "Sonic wait!" Shadow yelled and ran after me. He grabbed my hand. "Shadow, let go of me." I said and pulled my hand back. "but Sonic-" He started. "but nothing! i don't want to hear or see anything of you for a while. maybe even for a looooong while to come." I said angrily and walked away. Shadow didn't follow me. Instead he watched me go. Untill he finally had the courage to finish his sentence.

"i didn't do it!" He blurted out all of a sudden. "wait...wha?" I asked and turned to him. "the doctor did an ultrasound on me. i saw the small, fragile form of the baby and i couldn't go through with it anymore." Shadow said looking down and clenched the bottom end of his jacket tightly with his hands. He was smilling very slightly when he descriped what he had seen during the ultrasound. I walked towards him. He looked up to me smilling, tears still fresh from the harsh comments i had said. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into an embrace. That was quickly returned by Shadow.
