Tails POV

I walked into a big workshop at night. The lights around the building didn't make it seem less scary. I took a deep breath and walked dowards the door. I walked inside and got my working clothes on, which were a belt, a brown leather jacket and some jeans that got oil on them. I walked into the big looking room, bigger than my own workshop at home.

Suddenly, it felt like my legs were made out of jelly. I looked at the man with his arms crossed and an angry look on his face. "Miles Prower. You're late!" He growled in a deep voice. I sighed and met his demon looking eyes. "I had to say Goodnight to my family, sir"

"Family or not. If you still want them with you. Then you better start working Fox!" He screamed at me. I got scared of his change in voice, but I kept a straight face and started working. Like every night...

This man is my boss. Well, now he is. I don't know what happened to my previous boss, but he probably lost his job. Now I have this donuthole as a boss and he never let me take a break. The other people I worked with, works extra in the morning, while I work at night. I told him that I'd rather work my ass off at night than day, but.. now I am worrying Sonic and Sound wave... but they are ok. That's what matters.

Sonic's POV

Tonight I tossed and turned in my sleep, no, I couldn't sleep. I sighed annoyed and sat up. I looked on the alarm clock on the table. 4 am. 'Dang' I only thought. I gave up on trying to sleep and walked over to the bathroom. I took a quick shower before walking back to the bedroom, but I heard a noise from downstairs, so I walked down instead.

I saw Sound wave sitting on the couch. The tv was on and her small eats were down. I walked slowly over to her and sat beside her. "Hi dad..." She only said. I smiled and rubbed her back. "Hi sweety. Why are you up so late?"

"I was gonna ask the same question.."

I smiled and looked at her. "I can't sleep, you can't either?" She skokk her head gently and crawled to me and hugged me. "Where is Daddy...?" She looked up at me with water filled eyes. I lowered my ears and looked at her. "He is working late, like he does every night" I smiled and looked at her.

She sighed and hugged me close. To be a ten-year old, she is pretty emotional over her parents. I smiled and held her body close. Her blue fox tail moved slightly while I rubbed her back slowly. "It's ok sweety. Daddy will come home before you open your eyes again"

I don't think she heard me though, because I heard deep breathing. I carried her into bed and kissed her head. 'Does she love us that much?' The thought made me happy. I am still not used to being a father, but having a daughter like this. I don't have words for how much I love her.

I walked back in bed again and tried to sleep. The cold in the bed didn't help at all. I am so used my beautiful fox laying beside me at cold nights.

But I closed my eyes anyways. Thinking of my lovely fox's eyes. Blue, crystal clear eyes and happy smile. Slowly, I went asleep.

There were no sun that woke me up this time, not the cold from the bed or the outside, but a type of shivering. I slowly opened my eyes to see a golden fur covered in something black. No matter what it was, it smelled bitter. I groaned and sat up. I met Tails' eyes and looked at him sleepy, but worried. "Sorry Sonic, I didn't mean to wake you up..." He slowly said in a raspy and dark voice. He may not be a teenager anymore, but damn he is still sexy in his voice. I shook the thought away and stood slowly up from the bed towards him. "Tails.. How long did you work this time...?" I asked him with concern. I looked like I jus fell from a tree, but he looked worse. His fur was sticking in all directions, he was covered in what seems like oil and last he looked tired as fuck.

He sighed and only leaned against my body, hugging it slowly. I sighed and sat back on the bed and let my fox nuzzle into my body. I didn't need an answer to my question, because his body language told me it was longer than yesterday. Soon after i've held him for awhile, the door to our room opened and a tired Sound wave walked in. "Daddy...?" She saw Tails and he slowly sat up with a caring smile. "Yes Sweety..?" He answered and she got small tears as she ran to him and hugged him while sniffing. I smiled at the sight and Tails looked more happy than ever, but I heard him mumble somethng under his breath; "You're safe..." It wasn't loud enough for Sound wave to hear, but neither did she care. Because she was too busy with hugging her second dad.

As the morning came, Tails took a looooong bath to get the oil off his fur. He told me that; "The oil is more sticky to my fur than your..." and he trailed off because Sound wave was there with us. He just started blushing out of embarrassment as I just started laughing. Sound wave was just confused, poor her.

I was making a nice breakfast to all of us this morning, with eggs, toast and alot of other things. Sound wave was helping me with cooking the eggs and fry beacon while I got the toast and the food. We also made cocoa and cream. Sound wave were a little clumsy with the cream though and got it all over her.

After Tails got out of bath and walked in the kitchen to see us making food, he almost teared up in happiness. Sound wave told him how good she was at making food to him and she was so proud. He kissed her head and told her how proud he was to have her as our daughter. We all ate and joked around on the table like we usually do in the weekends. Tails would give me a kiss and Sound wave would whine to get one too. She was just way too cute for her own good.

We sat down on the couch with our hot cocoa and started watching a tv-program, but I didn't pay so much attention to the tv and more to Soundwave who was reading a book and Tails who leaned his head on my shoulder. He had one tail around me and the other around Sound wave.

I have noticed lately that Tails have been taking extra care of both me and Sound wave. He have been around us more often, told us not to worry and that everything would be fine. That doesn't help me cam down a bit. When Tails tell us not to worry, I then know something is wrong. While we sat there in the couch, I was in deep thought. Tails started working at night, he works longer every night. Is it because he wants to or is it because his boss tell him to do so? or is there another reason behind it.

But I still have the bad feeling of what Tails have put himself into, isn't going to end well... After a while of silence between us all, I looked at Tails with worry and care and opened my mouth.

"What is going on Tails?"
