Who knew: chapter 25

Shadow's POV

months went by and winter turned into spring. It was march now, close to april, and i was now nine months far. I had a hard time surviving with such a large belly. It wasn't exactly easy moving around like this. I couldn't bend, i had a hard time getting in and out of bed, i had a hard time sitting down, i had a hard time doing anything! It wasn't easy living like this. Especially in my condition.

I sat outside on the windowsill and enjoyed the soft spring weather. I was so glad that winter had finally passed. The weather was softer. It wasn't exactly hot, but it wasn't cold either. The wind didn't feel like it was cutting painfully into your skin. Therefore it was much easier to go outside if i needed to or just if i felt like it.

I winced and laid a hand on my belly. "you really need to stop this." I said as i tried to calm the baby down. Lately he or she had been more active then usual. The baby was kicking all the time. I tried to calm him or her down, but once it was calmed down it would almost immediatly start acting up again. I had no idea what could cause it to behave itself like that. This behaviour was starting to concern me. What if there was something wrong with the baby? I would be completely oblivious to it! Atleast, i would be untill the baby would actually be here, but that might already be to late. I had to find, dare i even mention her, Sally. I would give anything to see her again if it meant that the baby would be healthy.

"i need to search for them." I said and pushed myself upward and stood up, but i quickly sat down as i felt something diffirent. 'what was that?' I thought as i laid a hand on my lower belly. I had never felt this before. It felt like a stomache, but softer and lower. I ignored it, but it came again. 'i don't understand. what is this feeling?' I mentally asked myself and stroked my swollen belly. I sighed. 'it was probably nothing.' I thought and tried to shrugg it off, but i felt it again. This time the feeling was intenser.

My ears twitched and my eyes widened as this sudden strange pain wasn't the only thing bothering me. There was something else. I heard the crunching of plant life beneath heavy iron feet. Something was coming and it was big. 'no! not now!' I mentally yelled as those footsteps could only mean one thing.

"Shadow the hedgehog! finally you and that pest inside you will be mine!" Eggman yelled as he came into view when his robot ripped a tree clean from the ground. "Eggman!" I yelled upon recognizing the crazed maniac. "finally...... i can finally destroy that rodent." He said and got his robot ready to attack. "but why?! this so called 'rodent' hasn't done anything wrong!" I yelled in a vain attempt of saving the unborn. I would, no doubt, survive whatever attack he would throw at me, but the infant? It would stand no chance of surviving. "no it hasn't, but it will ruin my plans just like the plague it's replacing!" Eggman yelled in a voice that sounded almost hysteric. He was desperate to kill the baby.

"no.....don't do it." I said and slid to the ground as the robot took aim. I had no chance to escape. I wasn't fast enough anymore. I couldn't chaos controll myself to safety anymore. I couldn't do anything. "no... stop it." I whined in another attempt that had gone in vain. The robot powered up it's enermous gun that could take out a G.U.N tank if it wanted to. I could already feel the heat resonate. This would be a powerfull shot and not even in a normal situation would i survive without grave injuries that would hospitalise me for god knows how long. And with the condition i have right now. I wouldn't know what kind of consequences that could mean for me.

"no please." I begged. Fear was overwhelming me and all i could do was watch as the fright had frozen me in place. "don't do it!" I yelled and wrapped my arms around my belly in a feeble attempt to protect it as the shot was being fired. There was nothing i could do. I couldn't stop it. I couldn't use any chaos controll. There was absolutely nothing i could do.
