(Shadow's POV)

Five years ago, I was sent to planet Earth to colonize it for my alien race and exterminate those who lived there and collecting the chaos emeralds to my father. But one important girl and her friends taught me how love and friendship is all about. I changed my mind of taking the planet and this made my father and brother turn against me but thanks to my friends they got defeated when I collected all the seven chaos emeralds. Now I have started a new life on this planet, even got a family. Right now I won't repeat my mistakes again.

I am married to my true love Nebula the earthling mobian hedgehog and we have our beautiful daughter Raven Maria Hedgehog. But that's not all; my wife Nebula is 8 months pregnant with another child.

Nebula hasn't aged in 5 years ever since Shadow resurrected her with his alien blood that gave her immortality. Right now, she and her husband along with their daughter are at the doctor's appointment to see how healthy the unborn child is.

"Mommy, will you be okay?" Raven asked her mother in concern.

"I'll be fine, Raven" Nebula smiled at Raven. The doctor scanned on Nebula's tummy and the ultrasound scanner showed the baby hedgehog inside Nebula's womb. The doctor looked at the screen and saw the baby moving.

"Your child seems perfectly healthy, Mrs. Hedgehog" the doctor said.

"Is it a boy or girl?" Raven said with excitement.

Shadow chuckled at his daughter, "You sure are excited, sweetie. Should I tell her, hon?" he asked his wife and she nodded, "The baby is gonna be your baby brother" the father said.

"Yaaaah! I got a baby brother!" Raven squealed in excitement.

Shadow shook his head smiling and pets Raven between her ears, "I'm sure you and him are gonna have fun" he said.

Then the doctor took off the scanner from Nebula and turns it off, "You're free to go now Mrs. Hedgehog" the doctor said.

"Thank you. So the baby will be born somewhere near September 23rd?" Nebula asked.

"Yup. I'll see you in one month" the doctor said.

"Okay then. See you" Nebula said and got up. She left the hospital with Shadow and Raven, heading back home. Raven held her Clawdeen doll in her hand and she enjoyed watching the series on Youtube.

As they arrived back at the luxury apartment, Shadow wanted to watch the movie again; James Cameron's Avatar. Ever since he saw that movie last year, he really liked it a lot. He inserted the disc into the DVD-player and he starts the movie. He gets to the couch resting against the pillow as he watched the beginning of the movie play.

Midnight jumped up on Shadow's lap to watch the movie too.

Shadow pets Midnight on his lap. The narration by Jake Sully was heard while Raven was just playing with her teddy bear in her room. She is not much a tomboy like her mother.

"I see you like this movie, handsome" Nebula chuckled and sits next to her husband.

"I know. Its great effects and actors in the movie. Man imagine how it would be like if you had an avatar body" Shadow said.

"Mmm, probably look like a mobian na'vi hedge-tiger" Nebula joked.

"Hehehe. You're too funny Nebula" Shadow said, they then continued to watch the movie. It showed that Jake's brother has died during the transportation and is cremated.

Raven was looking out her window to have a nice view of the area. She really like how beautiful it looked and she sighs happily.

"It's just too great watching the clouds and the beautiful hills near our apartment. I guess Mommy and Daddy chose this for me and them. It feels like a kingdom" Raven said. She then walks to the living room to see her parents watch Avatar.

"Raven, some parts of the movie is not for children" Nebula warned Raven about the scene with the feline alien monster appearing.

"I know, Mom. It's just I like the Na'vi alien species thingy" Raven said.

"First time you saw the alien feline when you were three year old, it gave you nightmares that Daddy had to cradle you to sleep" Nebula said to her daughter.

"I know but I got used to it. Daddy helped me" Raven said and walks up to the couch.

"Oh, sweetie" Nebula chuckled. Just then, she gasped in pain from the unborn baby kicking inside her womb.

"What's wrong?" Shadow perked up in alarm.

"It's okay, hun. The baby kicked me again" Nebula rubbing her swollen belly.

Shadow puts his ear near her belly and heard how it kicked in her, "Yup. He is kicking" he lifted his ear away.

Nebula gasped again when she felt a very strong kick in her womb again, "Jeez!" she held her swollen belly, "Man, he's a very strong hedgehog" she chuckled.

"He's got our strength, Nebula" Shadow said.

Raven got up and rubs her mommy's belly, "I'll see you soon, baby brother" she smiled, "When can I see my baby brother's room, mommy?" she asked.

"Until he's born, sweetie. Don't worry" Nebula said.

"Okay then Mom" Raven said. She joined her parents in watching the movie and pets Midnight.

About an hour into the movie, Raven was a bit sleepy and rest on her father's chest fur.

"So cute" Nebula chuckled at this.

Shadow nodded and looked down at his daughter, "She is much cuter when she uses the cute innocent eyes at us" he said.

"Yeah, that never gets old" Nebula giggled, "Let's bring her to her room. We gotta get up early tomorrow for your DMV Motorcycle Test to get your license"

"Yup. I did pass the written test, so now I have to pass the road test to get my license" Shadow said, a little nervous for tomorrow.

"Don't worry, Shads. You'll do just fine. Back when I was 16 years old, it was hard to pass the road test but I did pass and got my driver's license" Nebula said, "3 years ago you did great in passing the road test to get your driver's license"

"Thanks Nebula. But it's just the test with the motorcycle is not easy like a car" Shadow said.

"You'll do great, Shadow. I'll be there watching you with Raven" Nebula said.

Shadow carried his sleeping daughter to her room, placing her on her bed and tucked her into her blanket.

"Good night Raven" Shadow said quietly to Raven, kissing her forehead.

Raven smiled in her sleep when Nebula came in and gave her a kiss on her forehead too.

"Sleep well Raven. See you tomorrow" Nebula said quietly and leaves the room, but she turned the night lamp on in case Raven gets a nightmare.

Nebula and her husband went to their bedroom and got in the bed to go to sleep. The female hedgehog rubbed her belly; happy to see her son to be born soon.

"I wonder what our son will look like until he's born" Nebula said.

"No idea. I bet he'll look like me but different colors" Shadow guessed.

"Maybe. That could be a possibility. It's just a month left" Nebula said.

"Yup and Raven got a sibling to play with" Shadow said, rubbing his wife's swollen belly, "And probably he'll have your eyes" he kissed Nebula's belly.

"We'll see. He'll be so cute and gorgeous when he's born. It's been months that I'm pregnant. Its hard work" Nebula said.

"Don't worry, hon. In just one month you won't be pregnant anymore. And our son won't be kicking inside your tummy again" Shadow joked at the last sentence.

"Good one, Shads" Nebula giggled. Then they went to sleep in their bed, thinking for their future.
