[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

For the past four weeks, Maria had slowly calmed down from finding out that she was pregnant
and began to be less afraid. Shadow and Burlow were there for her, both were people she could
trust but she was going to learn to respect her dead mother a lot more before long.

It was Easter and Maria had just woken up, she was about to get out of bed when a terrible pain
hit her. Was this the horrible pain what she'd caused her mother? Maria knew instantly what was
happening.

"Burlow, get up."Maria said.

"What?"Burlow replied.

Maria couldn't say, she was in too much pain. Burlow noticed that Maria was clutching her
abdomen and he got the hint.

"I'll get Shadow."Burlow said.

He ran across the hall and woke Shadow.

"What's going on?"Shadow asked.

"No time to explain. Common."Burlow said as he dragged Shadow across the hall.

Shadow saw Maria in pain and knew what was happening, he looked out the window, it wasn't
snowing but it was raining, they couldn't get out of the house without being chopped in half.

"Maria, sit down on the bed, don't lie flat."Shadow said.

"What are you ganna do?"Burlow asked.

"Since we can't get out of the house, Maria will have to have the baby here."Shadow explained.

"Why should you do this? I'm Maria's husband."Burlow asked.

"Burlow, I'm one hundred and five years old, you're twenty-seven. You wouldn't know what the
hell you were doing."

"I see."

Burlow now understood why Shadow wouldn't let him help.






Maria was in a great deal of pain now but she wasn't as scared with Shadow around, Burlow
stood next to Maria while Shadow told her what to do and what to expect, Maria listened to
every word Shadow said.

"Common, Maria. You're almost there, push!"Shadow said as he held his gloveless hands out to
catch his grandchild.

Maria felt the hoglet leave her body but the pain still remained.

"It's a boy."Shadow said as he held a black and purple hoglet.

"Maria, what's wrong?"Shadow asked.

"I think there's another one."Maria said.

"Burlow, take your son."Shadow told Burlow.

Burlow took his crying son and cleaned him up.

"I hope to God this is the last one."Maria said.

For several minutes, Maria felt like she was going to die but this one wasn't as painful as the
last. Shadow continued to coach her on what to do.

"Here it comes."Shadow said, his second grandchild quickly fell into his grandfather's hands.

"This one's a boy too."Shadow said, this one looked like Shadow but it was all white, no black,
no red, just white. It was an albino.

Burlow took his second son.

"Dad, there's another one."Maria said.

"JEEZ, how many kids can you pop out at once?"Burlow asked.

Shadow was getting rather sick of this.










This hoglet took a little bit longer than the others.

"Maria, don't get discouraged. You can do this."Shadow said.

"But it hurts!"Maria replied.

"I know it hurts but you have to do it."

After about an hour, the hoglet was very close to being born.

"Maria, I can see the head. You're almost there. Keep going."Shadow said.

Maria continued for about twenty minutes but the hoglet didn't go anywhere.

"Maria, I think the hoglet is stuck."Shadow said.

"STUCK?! What do you mean stuck?!"Maria exclaimed.

"It's stuck. I could do something but you wouldn't like it."Shadow replied.

"I don't care what you do, just make this pain stop!"

"Alright, I'm going to try and pull the hoglet out but to make it easier, when I pull, you push
with all your might. It'll be easier on you and the hoglet."Shadow said.

Shadow got a good grip on the hoglet's sides.

"Ready, NOW!!!"Shadow yelled.

Maria took a deep breath and pushed as hard as she could, Shadow pulled gently so he wouldn't
hurt the hoglet or Maria. The hoglet slowly emerged and it let out a cry as soon as it had left
Maria's body.

"This one's a girl!"Shadow said, really surprised.

The girl was black and red but her spines were shaped like Burlow's spines(Curved downward,
like Sonic's spines).









"Was that the last one?"Shadow asked.

"Yeah, I think so."Maria replied.

Shadow cleaned up his granddaughter and wrapped her in a blanket, then he and Burlow brought
the triplets over to their mother. Two on one arm and one on the other arm, Maria looked down
at her two sons and one daughter.

"Thank you, dad. I couldn't have made it through without you."Maria said.

"Well, you're my only daughter."Shadow said, he kissed Maria on the cheek.

"Ooh, I didn't know you still got kisses from your dad."Burlow said, trying to be anoying.

While Burlow was laughing, Maria handed her daughter to Shadow and then slapped Burlow
across the face.

"Just because I'm tired and weak doesn't mean I don't have enough strength to slap you for
stupid remarks."Maria said, she scowled at Burlow.

"Anyway, what are you going to call them?"Shadow asked.

"How about all three of us name one."Maria said, she handed her eldest son to Burlow.

"I'll call this one Thunder because he certainly can scream and his spines are shaped like
Lightning bolts."Burlow said.

"I'll call the girl Crystal, Cristie for short."Shadow said.

Maria looked at her youngest son, he was the whitest thing she'd ever seen. Maria brought him
closer and kissed him on the nose, then she gently rubbed him against her cheek, feeling his soft
and warm fur. She thought and thought, then a name hit her.

"I'll call my son Kurama."Maria said.

So the triplets were named and everybody could relax, Thunder was fast asleep and so was
Cristie but Kurama wouldn't be asleep for long. Kurama began to cry, he was hungry.(Well who
wouldn't be?) Maria allowed her son to nurse, he had a really big appetite.

"Whoa, slow down, you'll choke if you're not careful."Maria said.






Kurama didn't slow down, he kept that same speed and wouldn't stop until he was full. When he
was finished, Maria stroked his spines until he fell asleep. Kurama scooted closer to his mother.
Maria placed him beside her and then went to sleep herslelf, the white fur ball right next to her.
Burlow and Shadow put Thunder and Cristie next to Maria.

An hour later, Maria woke up to find two little fur balls sleeping next to her.

"Wait, where's Kurama?"Maria asked herself.

Maria hopped out of bed and looked all over the floor for her son, she was about to give up when
she heard a faint crying sound from under the bed. Maria looked under the bed and saw Kurama
stuck under a book, he was hurt.

"Kurama?"Maria asked, she didn't recognize him because his white fur was stained red.

She lifted the book, then she picked up her son and put him on the bed, Kurama had been cut by
the paper in the book and he had an opened gouge on his back. Maria went into the bathroom to
grab a few bandages and a container of alcohol, she cleaned the cuts and gouge then she put a
few bandages on them. Kurama continued to whine and make that crying sound, Maria cradled
him in her arms and tried to comfort him.
