It was raining. Two hedgehogs, a pink female, and the other a black and red striped male. Each carrying a child, who were also separate genders. 

   "Shadow, I don't think I can do this." the pink hedgehog admitted while shedding a few tears. The other placed his hand on her shoulder, comforting her. "Remember, we're doing this for our future and theirs." He held his little boy tight in his blanket. Their children as they slept and the mother softly cried as she hugged her baby girl. Shadow transported them into the queen and prince's master bedroom. 

   "Shadow?" a silver hedgehog widened his eyes when he saw them. "I thought you were dead! Who's she?" "I'm not the Shadow you know. This is my wife, Aurora." Shadow replied.

   The queen walked in wearing her purple and orange robe. "What are you two doing here in the Sol dimension at this time of night? In the middle of a thunderstorm?" "We traveled back in time from another dimension to give up our children," Aurora answered as her daughter continued to sleep soundly. "Why?" the silver hedgehog asked. "I didn't know you took it as seriously." 

   "They were raised by you two." Shadow explained. His spouse also sniffled in tears, "You're supposed to take care of them...No-not us." 

   "'Were?'" the silver hedgehog asked out of confusion. "What are you talking about?" "Out of no disrespect," Blaze butted in. "but Silver and I have a huge responsibility of protecting the Sol Emeralds and maintaining an entire empire from harm. So I'm afraid-" "So do you expect us to nurture them until they're grown up?" Silver asked the couple. He then lifted up the boy using his mind and brung him into his arms. 

   "Silver!" the queen hissed at him.

   She looked at the parents who held the boy's sister. Aurora was still sobbing as her husband comfortably caressed her, looking desperately at the queen. She knew that look. But it normally never came from Shadow. At least the one she knew. If he was willing to do this, then she should trust the parents. 

   "It depends on you," Shadow answered. "they were born two months ago." 

   The queen looked at the little girl who was sleeping peacefully. Then her twin that Silver carried. She had to admit, they were precious looking. "What are their names?"
  
   A lightning strike was heard, and the baby boy began crying, whereas his sister slept soundly. "Blitz and Aster." Shadow said, a tear escaping his eyelid. "What do I do?" Silver panicked while holding Aster who was still crying! "What do I do?" 

   From then on, two more rascals were added to Blaze's royal family. Meanwhile, the two hedgehogs ran off and disappeared. Full of sadness, empty of regret. For they know they had made the right decision.

   But you might wonder, why did they give them up? How did Shadow find love? Will they be reunited with their children? Who is Aurora exactly?

   I'm afraid I can't answer those directly. They'll all be answered in the form of a love story. Trust me.
