Tails had gotten old. He was sitting in his favourite chair in his room at the retirement home watching some TV while waiting for his nine year old grandchild Milk to come visit.
Milk wasn't his real grandchild but she called him her grandpa ever since her real one had died so he had started calling her his granddaughter before too long. No Milk was the granddaughter of Cream and her husband, a cat named Leo. The two had had a son about 45 years ago who had then met a girl and got Milk a few years later.
Like her actual grandpa, Milk was a cat and like one would expect she was named Milk cause of her milk coloured fur. Just like Cream was named like she was cause of her fur. She had big blue eyes and usually was dressed in a blue tank top and purple knee long tights.
Milk and her mother were the only visitors Tails ever got since he didn't have any children or grandchildren of his own. Sonic had died in an explosion fighting Eggman about 50 years earlier, taking the doctor with him and Amy had gone mad from the sorrow had had spent the next ten years in a mental hospital before she managed to commit suicide. Apparently she had pretended to take her medicine for a few weeks and then taken them all at once and died of overdose. Knuckles had vanished into the wilderness some 30 years ago after his daughter had taken over the duty of protecting the Master emerald and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. And finally the last of his friends, Cream had died just the year before of old age. So Milk and her mother were the only ones who visited Tails nowadays and Tails suspected the mother only came because she had to go with Milk cause she always left the two alone and waited outside while they were here.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and one of the nurses, a squirrel, came into the room.
" Mr. Prower. It's time to take you medicine." The squirrel said bringing in a glass of water and two pill bottles. One containing his heart medicine and the other for his lungs which had begun troubling him on his old days.
Tails waved him in and obediently took his medicine and then asked the nurse to fluff the pillow behind his back, bring him the newspaper and then leave him alone.
" Sure Mr. Prower." Said the nurse then did as asked and then started to walk towards the door. "By the way. Milk and her mother should be here any minute. You still want to talk with the mother alone first?"
"Yes please. I have some matters I need to settle with her without Milk knowing what we talk about. She is still to young to hear what I have to say. Or maybe she isn't. I was only half her age when I started fighting giant robots after all." Tails responded with a chuckle. "I would prefer she didn't know yet though."
"As you wish sir" the nurse said and then left the room.
A few minutes later there was another knock on the door. And Milk's mother walked in.
I wanted to make this a one chapter story but since I decided to add more things to the story and also change a few things, I had to cut it into chapters to make it easier to work with. So at the same time I also made the decision to make the first chapter a bit shorter so I could upload it right away and get your feedback.Until next timeCaT
