Accident Happens (Completed)

Chapter 33

Shadow's POV

I groaned as i tried to sit down on the bed. It was not only the weight on my back that bothered me, it was also my broken tail that was giving me a hard time. I winced as the matrass gave in beneath my weight and put pressure on the injured appendage. I pulled my shoes and socks off before carefully lying down on my side. I breathed out deeply and snuggled into my pillow. "Who knew being pregnant was so much trouble." I muttered to myself and closed my eyes.

I was about to doze off when a sudden kick to my ribcage shocked me wide awake. I sat up and stroked my belly to try and calm them down. I laid back down and snuggled back into pillow. I was about to doze off again, when another kick woke me up. "What is it with you keeping me awake?! A kick to my ribs hurt, you know!" I growled and laid a hand on my lowest ribs. I winced. That hurt like hell! I really hope this doesn't mean that i have a broken rib to go along with that tail.

"I guess i won't be sleeping this evening." I muttered and sat up against the bed board. I winced and lifted my hips up from the bed when a jolt of pain shot through my nerves. I laid down on my side and propped my head up with my hand. I tapped with my other hand on the matrass as i though about something to help me pass time. I sat up on my hands and knees and reached for the nightstand on my side of the bed. I opened the top drawer and pulled out a book. I closed the drawer and laid back down. I opened the book on the page that i was last left on and used the bookmark to read.

'Damn Sonic's hyper genes." I growled mentally and stroked my belly. The baby kept kicking up a storm. He didn't give me a break. I didn't get enough time to recover from the constant kicking before another few came. There were so many kicks that i was starting to think that i was having more than one. Sonic was already suspecting it, but i had never thought of it before today. I guess that i was a bit big for being six months far of just one child. But than again. You had mother who were having four kids and they would hardly look pregnant. Or maybe i was giving the baby way to much to eat, i don't know. But if i was having more than one baby, than i know for sure that i will having one heck of a hard time pushing them all out.

After a while i got tired of reading. I closed the book and placed it on the nightstand. I snuggled into the pillow and released a tired sigh from my lips. My heavy eyes closed. I really wanted to sleep. And now that the baby had calmed down i could finally make it happen. I was dozing off again. I smiled as piece filled my mind when i slowly fell asleep. "Shadow?! Dinner is ready!" Tails called from downstairs. Tails became a bit worried when he didn't hear me answer. "Shadow?!" He called again and once again recieved no answer. He carefully and cautiously walked up the stairs. He made sure not to make a sound as he wanted to check up on me.

"Shadow?" The kitsune called and looked around when he had reached the top of the stairs. He approached my and Sonic's bedroom and took hold of the door knob. He took a deep breath and turned the knob and opened it. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me lying on the bed sleeping. Worry vanished from his mind as he saw the reason for me not being able to answer.

He sat down on my side of the bed and shook my shoulder. "Shadow? Shadow, dinner is ready." Tails said and lightly shook my shoulder. "Hmmm?" I hummed and slowly woke up. "Shadow?" Tails tried again. "What is it, Tails?" I asked after recognizing his voice. "Dinner is ready." He said and took his hand back. "Dinner? Okay i'll be there." I said and allowed my body and mind to take the time to wake up. Tails waited for me to get up from the bed and followed me down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Rested enough?" Sonic asked when i sat down on my seat at the table. I was about to answer, but a yawn cut me off before i could. "That tell me all i needed to know." He said and sat down opposite to me. Tails sat down between us and dug into his food. "It's good." I complimented as i ate. "Thanks." Sonic muttered as he was close to finishing his dinner. Running wasn't the only thing he used his incredible speed for. "No problem." I said after swallowing a mouthfull.

A soft clatter of utensils and plates was heard as they were put into the dishwasher. I sat back down on my chair and so did Sonic. Tails, after getting rid of his dishes, quickly made his way back to his workshop as he was eager to work on his latest invention. What it was called and what it's purpose was, was unknown to both me and Sonic as the kitsune only released a tiny bit of information when his invention was finished.

"Now, the baby room." Sonic started. "I think that it's a bit risky to be thinking about it. We don't even know what gender it will be." I said, but Sonic didn't seem to agree with my reasoning. "A bit risky? Shadow, waiting untill the baby is finally here is to risky. We can work on the baby room without knowing the gender. We can pick neutral baby stuff or stuff for both boys and girls." He said. He was, without a doubt, reffering to the possibility of me having more than one cub. "I guess..." I muttered. "Shadow, it's better that we work on it now. In fact, we are beginning on it pretty late." He reasoned. I gave it a thought.

"Yeah, you're right. it's time that we begin on it." I said. "Great! We'll use the guest room!" He decided. We had no other choice. The guestroom was the only room not being used. Well, not if there wasn't anyone staying over, that is. "When should we start?" I asked. "We? Shadow, i don't want to hurt your feelings, but you aren't really fit for redecorating a whole room." Sonic said. I knew that he meant good, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. "I see." I said as my ears drooped to show my dislike. "Shadow, i really don't mean to hurt you and i know that you don't like to hear this, but you're in a pretty fragile position right now." He said. "I guess." I muttered more to myself than to Sonic. I guess i wasn't going to be off use in redecorating my own kid's baby room.
