Holy mother of god, I haven't updated in over three years!, I'll try to finish this story, I still remember how I wanted this to go. Thanks to BlazePyro for reminding me, I had completely forgot I had this story, hidden in the back of my file system, buried under useless assignments.
I hope to update when I can, which I hope to be every two months until this story is finished. But unexpected this could happen to delay me.
Previous Chapter
"What should we call him Sonic? Because we can't keep calling him little guy or buddy" Tails asked, "you are right Tails, maybe Midnight?" Tails laughed at him, is blue eyes glinting with mischief
"That would be ok sonic, if he was a she" Sonic scratched the bottom of his muzzle and Tails looks at the child "Dark?" sonic shakes his head "sounds to evil to me" Sonic snaps his fingers. "I know we will call him Shade"
Chapter 2
Tails nodded it was a perfect name for the child tails looks down at the child and found him rubbing his eyes and yawning "aww look sonic, little shade is sleepy" sonic looks at the kid in tails arms. But when the child heard tails say 'shade' he was awake and glared at the two and bit tails on the hand when he went to give him to sonic and started growling.
"Oww Shade that hurt" rubbing his hand that was bit only to see the child waving to the ground behind sonic. Tails looked where he was gesturing and sonic turned around to see that nothing was there. "What are you pointing at shade nothing is their" Sonic said turning back to face Shade and Tails. He growled again and struggled in tails arms wanting to be put down on the ground when tails finally put the struggling shade on the ground he immediately crawled behind sonic and patted to the ground again
"What do you want shade there is nothing their" he glared at sonic but tails caught on to what he was trying to say, "your pointing at his shadow aren't you" the kid looked up at tails and cued while clapping happily "but I just don't understand why is he pointing at my shadow" sonic looked at the kid than to tails "maybe he is trying to tell us something" tails suggested.
"Maybe, but what could he be saying to us?" Tails walked past Sonic towards the child, when he was about a foot away from the hoglet, he got on his knees, and just stared into his crimson eyes, what he saw in them was a sort on intelligence that many infants don't have.
"Uhh Tails, what are you thinking, because I can see that look you have in your eyes, it's the one you get when you're thinking or inventing." Sonic's voice awoke him from his thoughts.
"It's just…" Tails trailed off, having problem putting it into words for Sonic could understand.
"just what Tails? he's just a kid, see" Sonic joins Tails on the floor and starts making ridiculous faces hoping to make the hoglet laugh, but it did the opposite, he scrunched his face and turned his body to face away from the duo.
Seeing the ridiculous faces Sonic was making, and the hoglets reaction made tails chuckle, it seems the child sonic picked up was a stubborn and grumpy one. Getting an idea hoping it will bring the child out of his rut, he goes to pick up the child and walks out of the bathroom, Sonic pouts not being able to make shade laugh.
Tails take his to the lounge room, he sets shade down on the plush carpet decorating the centre of the floor between the couch and television. Once he thinks shade is comfortable on the carpet, he turns and grabs a pillow from the couch and pegs it at Sonic hitting his square in the face as he entered the lounge room. The momentum from sonic moving and the pillow hitting his face, sent Sonic spiralling to the ground.
"hey what was that for?" Sonic yelled rubbing his red nose, grabbing the thrown pillow and retaliated, striking tails in the stomach, this earned the attention of the little hoglet on the carpet, a small smile bloomed on his face.
"how many times have I told you not to walk in my house with dirty shoes, I let you get away with it when you first came in with shade, but I expected you to take them off in the bathroom so they could be washed" Tails gripped the pillow.
Tails ran at sonic when he was about a foot away he spins forcing all his momentum into the hit on Sonic face. Again, he was sent flying, this time he had a soft landing. Shade seeing a giant blue mass squealed and quickly crawled out of the way and curled up hoping to avoid the incoming body, it landed where he was previously.
Sonic landed in a daze from the hit to his head, soft giggles could be heard to his left, turning his head slightly to his left, he was shocked a cute ball of onyx fluff shaking, when the ball of fluff uncurled bright ruby eyes stared back at his emerald, when the onyx hoglet broke his giggling fit with a yawn, Sonic finally got what tails was getting at.
Turning over on his right Sonic grabbed the last pillow and turned menacingly at Tails, with one hand he cracked his knuckles and the other holding the pillow, he smirked darkly. Tails gulped not knowing what to do to get himself out of this.
Sonic jumped at Tails, talking him to the ground, using his sonic speed he put the pillow under Tails head and straddled his waist, Tails arms trapped between his thighs leaving his hands free, he trailed them down on side waiting for the reaction he wanted. It didn't take long Tails eyes went wide he opened his mouth.
A loud gasp was heard, Sonic smirked he found it, soon after a fit of giggles followed, Sonic had found Tails ticklish spot, from behind it looked like Sonic was attacking him with the way Tails was struggling.
"Son...son…Sonic, stop…please, Shade…he's...asleep" Tails struggled to get a full sentence out with the number of giggles he was producing. Sonic stop his onslaught and peered over his shoulder, their Shade was curled up once again but this time he was asleep.
"Ok Tails I'm gonna take Shade up to my room to sleep in, I'm gonna take a nap in the hammock outside if you need me" Sonic got from Tails and quietly tip-toed to the sleeping hoglet, gently picked him up and slowly walked to his spare room for when he often styed over, and tucked Shade in, before jumping out the window to his beloved hammock outside.
Once Sonic was out of site, Tails slowly gets to his feet, he walks to his phone in the kitchen, if he was right then what he was getting would help both the child and them. Dialling a number, he knows by heart, he put the phone next to his ear waiting for the phone to be answered, it didn't take long.
"hello it's Tails, I was wondering if you could bring something over for me would that be ok?"
