It was night time, the scent of red wine wafted through the air and delighted Shadow the Hedgehog near the fireplace. He sat on the sofa he and his wife Twilight bought together, made love to each other on. It gave him a tearful reminisce of something so worthwhile. But, of course, as much as he wanted to hand a cup of this fine wine to his beloved, he knew the child within wouldn't agree. Shadow took a deep sip of the wine and felt the warmth of the fireplace comfort his face. It was a chilly night tonight and any type of warmth would be beneficial to the least.
Clop clop clop
The hoof steps of somepony he knew, the only pony Shadow could have ever wanted. The one who changed his life forever and made him a new hedgehog. Twilight Sparkle was coming ever closer and he just couldn't contain his excitement. From the corner of his eye, he found her standing from near the dining room table. Her belly so large, emanating a power that only true love could actually create. Twilight Sparkle smiled, she twirled carefully in the new dress that Shadow bought her several days ago. It had such a dark blue hue and made the unicorn dazzle near the fireplace.
"What are you drinking Shadow?" she said with a earnest voice.
He lifted up the bottle from betwixt the sofa cushions. It's label so elegantly written with old Equestrian words. Shadow wasn't someone who was used to the Equestrian way of life, but he could tell things were similar here like back on earth. Especially the fact that they had Equestrian wine, something he grew to favor in time. Once, such a delicacy was an acquired touch, yet just like his beautiful and absolutely perfect wife. It was a new beginning that he loved more than anything. Twilight Sparkle moved and sat next to the slouched hedgehog and caressed him close, her muzzle smelling the perfume he wore with the scent of lilacs.
"It's only the finest wine we have gotten from Hairis, the honeymoon that changed everything." he said with a dream like speak.
Twilight took the wine and read through the label. She silently poured some more into Shadow's cup for him to enjoy.
"Mmmm, sounds delightful, too bad I can't with the baby coming along..."
Shadow handed the cup towards her with a smile.
"My love, take just a sip. I wouldn't want you to miss out."
Twilight Sparkle gently grabbed the cup and smelled the sweet scent before taking a quick sip.
"Ahhh, I miss that taste." she said, giving the cup back to him. "Thank you, I needed that."
Shadow looked into the fireplace and saw it flickering violently. It reminded him of his old ways and the dark past that haunted him. If only he could have rectified what had been done with Sonic and his friends. If only things were different.
"Whats wrong my precious? You seem troubled."
He settled the cup down on the glass table nearby with the wine bottle on it's side. Shadow stood up and reached out his hand for her to grab. She reciprocated without any hesitation and stood upright with him.
"I just want to say, My dearest Twilight. You've changed everything for me."
Her eyes sparkled as he peered into her beautifully large eyes. The sockets that coveted everything Shadow wanted. Twilight blushed nervously at his words and waited for just about anymore beauty to flow from his lips.
Shadow pressed his hedgehog hand on his soon to be born baby and felt earnest joy. There was no resentment, no fear of anything. Shadow knew that his own fears were useless against the future that was ahead. And he would do anything to keep things the way they should be.
Perfect
"I love you Twilight Sparkle, our love will last forever, not even Eggman can take that away from us."
Twilight grabbed the hand that touched her belly and pressed Shadow the Hedgehog to herself. There, they desperately kissed each other. She felt his lips onto hers and his hedgehog nose poking onto her own. Love everlasting, true and solidified that echoes against all that limits. It could only be a match that was made in fate that they were together. And to them, they were consumed by the passion they held for one another. Only then, could Twilight remove her lips from him. The only love that was meant for her.
"Dance with me Shadow, I want to feel like its our wedding day."
Shadow stepped aback and bowed his head to her. Again, he outstretched his hand for her to receive, and they started spinning together in rhythmic motion. Music played in Shadow's mind, he remembered the orchestrated play and the many instruments that coalesced to bountiful sound. Carefully stepping with her through the dance they were doing. Shadow made sure that even their third dancer would be apart of them tonight.
He hummed the music to himself, to which Twilight began to imitate with that smart mind of hers. They continued this display, music of their own making blessing the grounds where they stepped. Nothing could ever ruin this. Not even if the sky rained down hot coal or the ground shook with a vigorous tremor. No, they were impenetrable by the sheer power of their love. And then, Twilight Sparkle tripped, her giving a short "Woah" as she almost plummeted.
Shadow caught her before any harm could have been done. So close that must have been, stirred Shadow's heart.
"I'm sorry my love, I... I almost ruine-" he paused her worry with a simple touch of his finger to her lips.
"Heh, Twilight I believe we should rest for tonight, the evening getting a little more than we bargained for."
She giggled and followed her husband to the bedroom. To follow a night of slumber between these loving two.
Not a single peep, just the quiet of the night and the moon glowing from high above. It's light illuminating through the window.
A sleep for true love.
