A small hand tugged on his, "Tils? Tils! Daddy! Ake up!"
He peeled open his eyes and saw the small girl, "Hey Midna."
She pulled on his hand again, "Bweakfath!"
"Okay, okay," he swung his feet of the bed and picked up the small girl.
She was now the size of a two year old and still only a few weeks old, "Daddy!"
"What is it Midna?" he asked.
"Orning!" she yelled happily.
He chuckled, "Morning."
He walked into the kitchen and saw that Cosmo had made pancakes, "Oh, hi Tails! I see Midna woke you up," Cosmo chuckled, walking into the room.
Midna raised her arms towards Cosmo and Tails shifted her from his arms to hers, "Yeah, guess she wanted breakfast."
Cosmo laughed, "Midna, I told you, you could eat without him."
Midna's face turned serious, "No."
Tails and Cosmo laughed, "You're so cute," Tails chuckled.
"I ow," she smiled shyly.
A knock at the door jerked them up, "I'll get it," he assured Cosmo.
He opened the door and saw a blue hedgehog standing at the door, "Hey Tails! How's Midna?"
Tails stepped aside, "Why don't you come say hi?"
Sonic walked in, "Mm...Cosmo make pancakes?"
"Yeah," he went into the kitchen with Sonic in tow, "We've got company."
"Oh, hi Sonic," Cosmo brightened, "Help yourself."
"Thanks Cosmo...hey Midna," he waved at the small girl.
"Thonic!" she squealed happily.
He chuckled and sat down in a chair, "These look good Cosmo."
Cosmo blushed, "Thanks Sonic," another knock at the door startled them again, "I'll get it, Tails."
She ran off and Sonic turned to Tails, "Tails...Eggman's planning something."
Tails gagged on the piece of pancake, "What...ugh...do you mean Sonic?"
"Bokkun came flying up to me today, that's where I got this," he showed him a black mark on his glove, "The message was that Eggman was coming again..."
Tails' face went serious, "He's not getting Midna."
Sonic poured some syrup on his pancakes, "I know, that's why you're probably going to get a lot of visitors. Everybody's coming down here for a...'sleepover', to keep an eye out for Egghead or Shadow."
Tails nodded, "Okay."
Cosmo came back, followed by Cream, Cheese, and Vanilla, "We've got more guests. I'm gonna go make more pancakes."
"Okay, just a heads up, we're probably going to have more," Tails warned.
She looked a little confused, "Okay."
"I'll explain in a minute," another knock came from the door, "I got it."
He left the kitchen and opened the door to see a red echidna standing there, "Hey Tails."
"Come on in Knuckles," Tails walked back into the kitchen.
When they entered, Cream and Midna were happily playing with Cheese, and Vanilla was keeping a close eye on them. Sonic was laying on the couch, flipping through the tv, and Cosmo had just walked back in with more pancakes.
Midna immediatly saw Knuckles, "Uckles!"
He picked her up, "Hey Midna."
"Hang on Midna, let Knuckles eat," Tails chuckled.
Someone knocked on the door again, "I got it Tails!" Sonic called, soon followed by, "AH! AMY!"
"Oh Sonic! I just knew you'd be here! Our connection just told me!" Amy cooed.
"Amy, I called you half an hour ago," Sonic gasped.
"Say what you want Sonic," Amy huffed, "Ooh, Cosmo made pancakes!"
Amy walked into the kitchen, "Oh, hi Amy."
"Hi Cosmo," he heard Amy reply.
Cosmo walked out of the dining room and looked curiously at Tails, "What's everybody doing here?"
"Here," he grabbed her hand and took her into the actual workshop, "Eggman's planning to come back for Midna."
Cosmo gasped, "What?"
"He sent Sonic a message, so everybody's coming here to keep an eye out for him, just for a little while," he assured her.
She nodded, "Okay."
He smiled at her reassuringly and they went back into the living room. Cream and Midna were running around screaming, Vanilla was trying uselessly to quiet them, Sonic was asleep on the couch, Knuckles was leaned up against the wall, and Amy had just plopped herself down on the armrest. Cosmo gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went into the kitchen, he blushed a little, and then walked into the room.
"Daddy!" Midna yelled.
Knuckles chuckled and Tails picked her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and poked his nose.
"Ow, careful Midna," he chuckled.
She laughed, "Owry."
"You're fine, why don't you go play with Cream?" he laughed, setting her down.
She toddled off and the two little girls began play. Knuckles watched as they ran around and spared a small smile, but Tails could tell he was edgy...probably the Master Emerald. Tails settled down on the floor, and Cosmo came and sat next to him. Everything seemed normal, but everyone was on edge, and waiting for anything to come.
