Author's Note: Okay, onward to Chapter 17!

For those of you who have been guessing this was going to be an MPreg...well...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silver's POV

I woke up the next morning to another wave of nausea hitting me hard. Without delay, I escaped Shadow's grasp from bed and rushed to the bathroom, again. I admit though, I did feel a little better after emptying my bowels, but I knew not for long.

I decided to make a doctor's appointment for that day, getting a little tired of going to the store to buy numerous pregnancy tests. The last time I went, the cashier gave me a strange look once I placed the tests in front of her.

"For my…girlfriend…" I lied.

I walked back into the bedroom to see Shadow sprawled out on the bed, the sheets covering him up to his waist. I smiled, moving over to him and kissing him behind his left ear. He stirred a little, mumbling quietly as he shifted under the sheets.

"I'll see you in a few hours." I whispered in his ear. I then left the room and found a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote a short note for my loved one in case he wondered where I went:

Shadow,

I've gone to the doctor's office to get a check-up. I'll be home around 2, possibly earlier if I can.

I love you!

Silver

I left the note on the counter in the kitchen and went to the front door and slipped my boots and coat on. I then went out the apartment, leaving Shadow to sleep in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived at my destination in half an hour, signed in at the reception desk, and took my seat in the waiting room. I noticed that there were several women with their children, some being only a few months to a few years old. It made me begin to wonder what I'd be doing with my own kids…

"Silver the Hedgehog?"

I stood up and met the nurse by the door leading to the offices.

"Right this way, please."

I followed her into the examining room, and had the usual exams done. The nurse finally left, leaving me to take my clothes off and sit on the cushioned table. The doctor came, and the one thing I noticed and began to dread was…

"Hi, Silver. My name's Dr. Harry Porcupine, and I'll be asking a few questions…is that okay?"

I remained silent for a moment. My doctor was going to be a guy? And I have to tell him about my…problem?

I finally answered, "Uh, yeah…sure…"

He looked at my examination papers, "Good. Let's take a look…blood pressure's normal; maintaining a healthy weight, good height…everything looks to be in tip-top shape. So, do you have any questions or concerns before we get started?"

I hesitated, fidgeting with my fingers. "Well…I've been experiencing…uh…some nausea lately, and I've been vomiting frequently. I'm just not sure if it's just a stomach bug, or…something else…"

The doctor began to write what I told him onto a clipboard, "Mmm-hmmm…well, what I'm going to have you do is give me a urine sample for that. But first, let me give you your physical."

I nodded, and he got to work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went into the bathroom to give the doctor a sample, feeling so embarrassed in this situation. Once I was finished, I gave it to him, and he happily took it and walked out the door of the room. I sighed, hoping my stomach would settle down before he told me what was happening. My gut told me I was actually pregnant, even if my own mind told me otherwise. Either way, I was…well, scared.

After several minutes, Dr. Porcupine re-entered the room, clipboard in hand with a smile wiped across his face.

"Okay, Silver… after looking over your charts, we came up with one answer for your problems."

It felt like my heart was going to explode; it was beating so fast…

"Congratulations, son…you're pregnant!"

I stopped breathing, and felt myself blush.

"Wait…what? I'm really…I am?"

Porcupine nodded, "Yes, you are. Determined from your sample, you're into about the fifth week or so…therefore, your due in about May next year. We'll need to schedule monthly appointments with a gynecologist for updates on the baby's and your health and well-being. Here are a few pamphlets on pregnancy and the cycles…"

But, I wasn't paying attention anymore…My mind was racing and mixed with emotions.

I can't believe it! I'm actually…pregnant…I can't wait to tell Shadow this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decided to head to a fast-food place while I was away, since I was kind of in the mood for something…

My phone then began to vibrate in my coat pocket, and I took it out.

It was Shadow.

I answered, "Hey, Shads! What's up?"

He replied, "Hi, babe. I was wondering where you were."

"I'm getting fast-food. I just came from my appointment. They said everything's fine."

"Uh, okay. It's nothing serious, then?"

"Nope. I'll tell you what they said once I get home. I'll be back as soon as I can."

He laughed, "I'm not going anywhere, Silv. Take your time, there's no rush."

I smiled, "Hey, I gotta go. Do you want anything while I'm at the restaurant?"

"Um…could you get me one of those fish fillet sandwiches with extra tartar sauce… with a vanilla shake?"

I grimaced, "Ugh, how can you eat stuff like that? I personally think it's nasty…!"

I heard him whine, "Please, baby? Please?"

I sighed, "Alright, fine. Anything else you want, your majesty?"

He thought for a few seconds, "Hmm…no, I think that's it. Thanks, Silver!"

"Mmm-hmm…no problem. Oh, by the way, I have a little surprise for you when I get back. I love you."

"I can't wait to find out what it is, Silv. I love you, too."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked into the apartment, bags in my hand.

"Shadow, I'm home!" I called.

He greeted me with a hug and kiss on the lips, "Hey, I've been waiting for you."

I shoved his own food in front of him, "Here, take your nasty fish before I get sick…!"

He grinned, taking it from me, "Speaking of which, did the doctor tell you what was wrong?"

I shrugged, "Uh…yeah." I honestly had no idea what to say.

Shadow turned to me from his food, eyebrow raised in a confused look, "And…? Did he say anything, or did he just leave you in the dark?"

I rubbed my arm, my nervousness taking control, "Well, he looked over everything, and he said…the only reason I've been vomiting is…"

Shadow came over to me, taking my hands into his. I looked into his blood-red eyes, feeling myself blush.

He urged me to continue, "Go on, what did they say?"

…

…

"Shadow…baby…I'm pregnant."

…

…

Shadow's eyes went wide…as wide as they could possibly get. His face turned a deep red, and he gaped. There was about a minute of silence, with us standing in the kitchen.

Shadow spoke up at last, his voice cracking a little, "Y-You're…pregnant? Then th-that means…" He then placed his hand on top of my belly, his look of shock still on his face.

I smiled as I put my hand on his, "Is this a nice surprise, Shads?"

His face turned into excitement, "Oh man…we're having a baby…!"

I nodded, "Yeah…I guess we are!"

He laughed, then hugged me tight and spun me around. I squealed with joy, wrapping my arms around him to prevent myself from crying. Unfortunately, I couldn't help it…so before I knew it, I almost started bawling my eyes out. Shadow began to stroke my quills to calm me down, and he was…sniffling?

I broke the embrace to see Shadow with tears streaming down his face.

I giggled, wiping his tears away, "What're you crying for, Shadow?"

He sniffled again, "N-Nothing…I'm just overwhelmed right now… I just…can't believe you're pregnant! Silver…we're having a baby, and we should be happy!"

I kissed him as he wiped my own tears away, "I know…I'm so excited, too! But…"

I lowered my eyes, Shadow cocking his head to the side.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm…" I stammered, "I-I'm a little afraid…what if something happens to it while it's inside me? I'm afraid about going into labor, too…"

Shadow gave me a sympathetic and calm tone, "Don't worry about that, Silv. Remember, I'll be with you every month, every day, every minute…I'm right here to protect you…and our baby…from any danger."

I lifted my eyes again, seeing him smile again. I smiled back, hugging him and nuzzling myself under his chin. He gave me a gentle squeeze to assure me everything would be alright.
