The Temptation and Consequence

Stars glisten in the twilight as the sun gets its last peek at the descending Earth. The usual nightingales start to sing their luring lullaby to attractive mates, just waiting to find them at the right time. Crickets strike up an orchestra in the lush, damp grass, a work so beautiful that even Beethoven couldn't master it. The full moon, so large, so romantic, is obscured into view like an opalescent jewel too forbidden to be taken away from its fair Maiden Sky. The crystalline lake lies in serenity unmoved and undisturbed, fireflies dancing their formal dance across the surface of the water.

In the center of a moonlit field, an oak tree stands tall like a soldier, protecting its property of land. Underneath, laughter was echoing throughout the silence, and then whispers were followed after it.

Under the mighty tree's strong arms, a couple is occupied into a deep, passionate kiss. The black hedgehog's hands were moving down towards the 'red light zone', already knowing that his French penetration got her in his grasp. The pink hedgehog, sensing a tingling sensation, abruptly removed his hand from there. Shadow, already getting sexually frustrated, stop kissing Amy altogether.

"What's wrong Amy? You know we've been doing this ever since Sonic was erased completely from your mind. Are you getting second thoughts already?" Shadow looked a bit distressed, but maintained his usual composure.

Amy was worried and regretful. "I'm sorry Shadow, but…you see…maybe for now, we should take this a little slower. I mean, isn't this what I shouldn't be doing? I'm 12 for Pete's sake, and you're, well, 50+!"

"Actually, I'm immortal, so it doesn't matter."

Amy started to get up, aggravated about this, but a hand grabbed hers, pulling her back to the ground.

"Amy…is something wrong?"

Nothing.

"Amy," Shadow was getting real angry now. "You know you can't keep secrets from me! We're a couple; we're supposed to tell each other whatever we need to get off of our chests! Isn't what you told me the first time we kissed?"

The pink hedgehog stared at the lunar sky, trying all her hardest to ignore her ranting lover's comments. Is this sex all supposed to worth to her? Is this worth leaving that heroic, honest, awesome azure hedgehog for this sexy, lonely, caring ebony heartthrob? In reaction to her love for Shadow and what she is doing, even Cream couldn't think good of her anymore. Now, all of a sudden, she's mourning her lost virginity, never to be reclaimed again…

"Answer me, Amy!"

Snapped out of her thoughts, she found herself looking into furious, hopeful, and hurt ruby eyes. What is she thinking? I can't leave Shadow. Sonic never gave me all this love that Shadow gave me…

"I'm okay. It's just that something's bothering me."

Shadow came closer to Amy, a striking seducing expression in his face. His breathing almost came closer to hers, it was almost overwhelming.

"It's okay. Everything-" kiss "will be-" kiss "alright."

Then on impulse, they started their exciting escapade, elevating with moans and sighs. Shadow's velvet lips migrated from Amy's to her graceful neck. His hand moved slowly, touching her face, to her breast, and then to her stomach-

Shadow then stopped to see Amy, seeing tears across her face. Sobbing then accompanied the tears. He couldn't just figure out what's wrong with his beautiful swan.

"Amy…"

She knew she couldn't keep it secret any longer. It was too much to bear. Shadow's comforting hand still on her abdomen, she laid hers on top of his. Amy looked into his eyes with failing expression.

"Shadow, I'm pregnant."
