Shadow hurriedly walked in front of Sonic. He opened the door, taking the luggage he was carrying in the house first and dropping it to the side, out of Sonic's way. He turned, his crimson eyes narrowing in on his wife, watching him carefully.

"Do you want any help?" He asked restlessly.

Sonic chuckled. "Shadow, stop it or I'll take a picture of this. You don't want Scourge to see you like this, do you?"

Shadow snorted, but he wasn't really paying attention to Sonic's words. Instead, his eyes watched the pup in Sonic's arms lovingly. His whole face lit up with emotions and it was enough to make Sonic want to hold him and never let go. No one would have thought that in a matter of two years of dating, Shadow and Sonic would be married and with their first child, a little girl by the name of Gaia the Hedgehog.

"Are you sure you don't need help?" Shadow tried again, clearing his throat and closing the door behind Sonic. He walked in front of him, removing anything that he found was 'in his way'. Most of the furniture he removed stood to the side of Sonic and was in no way in his walking path to begin with.

"Stop, Shadow," Sonic admonished gently. He chuckled again, and continued with a soft voice, "Come here, faker, hold your daughter."

Shadow stared at him for a moment, before taking hesitant steps towards his mate and newborn daughter. He had held her at the hospital, but even while sitting down, he looked fearful of dropping her. He asked the doctor so many questions, like was he holding her the right way and other questions regard her sleeping, eating and crying habits. Sonic resisted the urge to tell him that Shadow was the one who'd read all the baby books and he should already know all of this. He was just being paranoid. The truth was, even if he wouldn't admit it, Shadow was nervous over being a new dad.

"Maybe I should sit down?" Shadow suggested, but Sonic shook his head quickly.

"Scared, Ultimate Lifeform?" Sonic teased.

Shadow exhaled and shook his head. He smirked. "You wish."

"Good." Sonic grinned widely and placed the sleeping newborn in her father's arms.

Shadow tensed, but didn't say anything. He pulled her closer to his body and smiled down at the little one, who seemed to stay sleeping very contently in his comfortable arms. Sonic didn't blame her. He had slept in those arms many times before and he had never felt so much love and protection anywhere else. He knew, from the moment he found out that he was pregnant, that Shadow was going to be a good father. During seven long months, he had doted upon a pregnant Sonic, buying him whatever he wanted and needed. He had even been the one to claim that they needed to go out and buy the pup his or her crib and toys. At the time, Sonic had only been three months pregnant. Gaia was going to be a very spoiled little girl.

"Let's have another one."

Sonic's eyes widened. "What?!" It was the last thing he had expected to hear from his husband.

"Let's have another one," Shadow repeated, not even glancing away from their baby to say it.

When the realization of what Shadow said had hit him, Sonic laughed. "Don't you think we should at least wait for a couple of months first? We haven't even had a night on our own with her."

Shadow finally raised his eyes to stare at Sonic. He was smirking mischievously. It made Sonic bristle a little. When he saw that smirk, it usually meant Shadow was about to get something he wanted.

"You know you want another one already."

He did. Sonic wouldn't deny it. However, he had a feeling that after a couple of months of sleepless nights with their first one, they would both soon change their mind on wanting another so soon.

"Shadow," Sonic warned with a low voice.

Shadow snickered loudly. His gaze rested back on his little girl and he bent down to place a kiss on her forehead. The sight made Sonic smile at both of them lovingly. He couldn't believe that he had finally got what he wanted his whole life, a family of his own. A thought occurred to Sonic and with a wicked grin of his own, he pulled out a camera.

But Shadow was too enraptured in counting Gaia's tiny fingers and the toes on her paws to pay attention to what the azure was doing. So, when the button clicked and the light flashed, he looked up in surprise. "Did you just take a photo, Hedgehog?"

"I did because I couldn't resist. It was picture perfect," Sonic confirmed, his mischievous smile still dancing on his lips. "And can you just imagine what all your friends, especially Scourge, will say about their big, bad Shadow when they realize his daughter already has him wrapped around her little finger?"

Shadow glared somewhat and took a step forward, which was met by a nervous step back from Sonic. He paused, eyeing his wife before he glanced at the sleeping pup.

"Once I put her down to sleep, Sonic, you better run as fast as you can."

Sonic's smirk fell as quickly as it came.

Oh crap.
Another Sonadow one-shot, enjoy!! ^^
