Yay chapter 3! Hope you enjoy this chapter, this is what I imagine is a typical day for Sonic and his family. This now takes place 4 years after Kyler arrives on Amy's doorstep, so by now, Sonic and Amy are married, and have their own children. You can learn more about Violet, Chris and Dash on my profile. Since the kids are so young, they talk kind of weird, like real kids. So when you see a random 'w' in one of the words of the children, I'm just having them talk odd, same with the grammar problems. Anyway, here's chapter 3! Enjoy, and please review!

ages...
Sonic:26
Amy. 24
Kyler. 4
Violet. 3
Chris. 2
Dash. 6 months

Chapter 3
Typical Day

4 years later...

I slowly rolled over, opened my weary eyes, and looked at the clock. 5:30 am. Normal wake up time. Smiling to myself, I quietly got out of bed, and headed to the dresser. Quickly, I slipped on my socks and shoes, then looked at Amy, who had been my wife for about 4 years. She looked so cute when she slept. I walked up to her, and lightly kissed her on the cheek.
"See ya in three hours," I said softly.
Amy shifted, and smiled in her sleep. Smiling, I turned to go, when the cat strolled up to me, and began running up against my legs. I knew what he wanted, and picked him up as I headed to the door.
"Want outside, buddy?" I asked him, as I set him down by the door.
The cat meowed, softly, and lifted up his front paws, pawing at the door.
"How did Amy teach you that anyway?" I asked him.
He kept pawing.
"You know, sometimes I think you're a dog, not a cat," I said, as I opened the door.
Not wasting any time, the cat bolted out the door.
"Have fun!" I called.
I sighed deeply, letting the fresh air in. Spring mornings always seemed to be the best. It would start out as a cold morning, but as the day progressed, the temperature would gradually climb to a comfortable temperature.
On this particular morning, fog and dew were just starting to clear up, making the morning seem mystical.
I smiled once more, and then ran off, into the morning. I ran wherever my feet took me, enjoying every second. Every now and then, I'd stop ten to fifteen minutes, and just enjoy the scenery. This went on for about three hours, until my watch read 8:29 am. When I saw 8:29, I realized for the first time for the whole morning that I was hungry. Licking my chops, I ran home as fast as I could, where I knew breakfast- and my family- would be waiting for me.
I reached the house a minute later. I opened the door to the house, and called,
"I'm back!"
"Daddy!" three year old Violet and four year old Kyler cried, as they ran up to me.
I laughed as they jumped up on me, obviously glad to see me.
"Mommy has breakfawst ready," Violet said, as she and Kyler pulled me into the dining room.
I scooped up the two girls, and ran them to the table. They laughed happily, and I set them down in their seats.
"Hey, Chris how's life?" I asked my two year old son, as I ruffled his spikes.
Chris clapped his hands.
"Dad-dy!" he cried out, happily.
I knew Chris would've come running to me as well, but he was trapped in his high chair. I often felt sorry for him; I hated being trapped.
Dash, my six month old son ran into the room then, followed closely by Amy, who was trying desperately to catch him. Typical Dash didn't like high chairs, just like me at his age. I got down on the ground, and grabbed him before he could pass. Dash wiggled and squirmed in my arms, but there was no way he could win this struggle. Quickly, I set him down in his seat, and made sure he was secure, before letting him go. Dash had always been like this, though both Amy and I found it amusing in a way.
Dash gave up, and huffed. Amy looked at me, her spines wild and everywhere from the chase. I laughed, and she joined me. Dash was so much like me.
Breakfast began, consisting of toast, eggs and pancakes. Somehow, Amy almost always managed to cook meals for the whole family, and take care of the wild family. I helped her as much as I could. Amy often said that I was a big help, but sometimes, when I felt like I needed to help more, I'd stay around for the morning, and help with the kids; get them ready for a new day. All of us enjoyed it when I did this, including me. After all, I didn't have to go on a run everyday, I got enough excitement from my wild and energetic family.
As we ate, the kids talked about random things, and when they weren't talking Amy and I managed a few words. Breakfast had always been important in this family; all meals were. It was during meals that we were all together and could talk.
" Does Daddy have work todawy?" Violet asked.
"Sorry, but yup," I replied.
Violet looked down sadly.
"And tomorrow?"
"Day off tomorrow," I said, smiling.
Violet and Kyler looked at each other and smiled brightly.
"Yay!" the two cried.
I smiled. Chris and Dash clapped their hands, and Amy laughed.
"Wow, I feel popular," I said to Amy, as I stood up.
"I think you'll always be popular, Sonic," Amy replied, as she stood up.
"Well, just as long as I'm popular in this house, I don't care about the rest of the world," I responded.
"You'll always be popular here Sonic, you know that," Amy said, as she set Dash down from his high chair. Dash squealed, and ran off.
"You know how to treat us the right way."
I smiled, and kissed her on the forehead.
"See ya soon, Ames," I said, as I waved and walked towards the door.
"Daddy, not wyet!" Kyler called as she and Violet ran in, dragging along the poor cat.
"We didn't get two say goodbwye."
The cat meowed angrily, and Amy took the cat as I hugged the two.
"You be good to mom, alright?"
I looked at the cat. Amy gave up with it, and set it down.
"And be nice to the poor cat."
"We are niwce to kitty," Violet said.
Chris and Dash ran up to me, and I said good-bye to them too.
"Bye guys! I'll be back before you know it!" I said, as I opened the door.
"Bye, Sonic! Hurry back!" Amy called.
This, was a typical morning.

____________________________________________________________
"Morning, Sonic," Tails called as I walked into the repair shop.
"Hey, bud what's up?" I asked, as I walked up to him.
"Nothing much. Morning's pretty slow right now, but it's sure to pick up," he answered.
"Tia here yet?"
"She's on her way most likely," Tails answered, as he skimmed the newspaper.
The door opened then, and in walked Tia. Tails set down the newspaper, and smiled at Tia.
I smiled at the couple. They had been going out since Tails was 15, right after my wedding with Amy. They were great for each other, and I knew that they'd get married once they got out of college. I knew Tails too well sometimes.
As the two talked, the first costumer of the day walked in.
"Whatta need?" I asked.
They man blinked.
"My airplane needs an oil change," he replied.
"They'll be right with you, I'll go work on it," I said, referring to Tails and Tia.
The man blinked again, and sat down at a chair in the lobby. I headed down, to where he parked his plane, and began to work on it. In about ten minutes, all was done, and he was on his way.
Typical mid-morning.
At lunch, I came home, and ate with the family. Lunch was like breakfast, only the food was different and the kids were more awake now. I left after lunch to go back to work till 5. Typical afternoon.
Finally, I came home, to an excited family. Like they had when I came home from my morning run and for lunch, the kids all jumped me. Amy was in the kitchen, finishing up the final touches of supper. I quietly walked in, and grabbed her shoulders for fun. I zipped her around, making her grin. Kissing her on the forehead again, I said,
"I'm home."
"I heard," Amy replied, as she smiled and turned back to her cooking.
"What's on the menu tonight?" I asked.
"Nothing special," Amy said as she turned to me, grinning evilly. "Just chili dogs."
My eyes grew wide, and my mouth began to water.
"That's special!"
"To those of you who would practically die for chili dogs, maybe," Amy laughed.
"I wouldn't die for a chili dog," I argued.
Amy rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Yes, I knew you were joking," I said, as I wrapped my arms around her middle.
Our moment was interrupted then by Dash.
"Mommy, are we gon-na eat oon?" Dash tried to say.
"Yup, not much longer sweaty," Amy replied.
Dash grinned and ran back to his siblings.
"Oon, oon, we gets ta eats oon!" he sang happily.
Amy and I laughed at his talking.
Supper was soon ready, and the kids ended up telling me all about their day.
"Sometimes I wonder if kitty doesn't wike me," Violet said.
"Oh, why do you think that?" I asked.
"He seems to trwy and get away every twime I pick him up," she explained, sadly.
"Well, maybe he needs a break, sweaty," Amy comforted.
"But we do give hims breaks!" Kyler said. "We didn't pet him for a whole ten minutes today, Daddy, Mommy timed it."
Violet nodded.
"It true," she said.
I looked at Amy, trying hard not to laugh.
"Ten minutes, eh?"
Amy shrugged.
"I tried," she replied.
I shook my head, and smiled at the girls.
"Try to give him a whole hour at least," I suggested.
"That'll be sad though!" Kyler cried. "He's our kitty, we'd miss him too great."
"I have to leave you guys when I go to work for hours, and I don't like leaving you," I said. "But I can do it, and I know you can."
"But daddy's are supposed to be wike that," Violet replied.
I gave up then.
A typical supper was like this.
After supper, while the girls ran after kitty and the boys did their own thing, I was finally able to talk to Amy.
"So, besides the girls being able to stay away from kitty for ten minutes, anything unusual happen today?" I asked.
Amy thought for a moment.
"Nope," she answered. "Not really. I'm sure something different happened today, the kids have something new to say everyday."
I laughed.
"Sure are fun, aren't they?"
"Of course!" Amy said. "Don't know how I'd get by without them. Or you for that matter."

____________________________________________________________
It was 8:30 pm. 8:30 pm had it's own name around here. We called it, 'The Bed Time Agenda.' It started off, with trying to bathe one of the kids every night. Tonight, it just happened to be Dash; the most difficult one of the four to wash.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Dash yelled as he ran this way and that through the house.
"Dash get back here!" Amy called, as she ran after him.
I sat in the living room, on the couch, hoping that Dash would come running this way so I could grab him. He did, and I grabbed him. Dash screamed, not expecting me to catch him.
"Got him!" I called to Amy.
"Good," Amy panted as she jogged into the room.
I laughed, and helped Amy bathe him, even though I got splashed. And besides, sometimes, it could even turn out to be fun.
Finally, Dash was taken care of, and we started phase two of the night. Bedtime stories.
"What story do you wanna hear tonight?" I asked the girls.
Amy was in Dash and Chris' room at this point, also saying goodnight to them.
Kyler pointed at a book on the shelf, and I pulled it out. It was If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. I smiled; this was a pretty funny book.
"Read it, Daddy!" Violet cried.
"Ok, ok," I said as I opened the cover.
Five minutes later, the story was over, and I shut the book. The girls looked at me with drooping eyes. Amy, who had been standing at the door, watching, came in, and tucked the girls in. Kissing them on the cheek, she said,
"Good-night my angels, pleasant dreams."
I picked up a small music box, and turned the key thing. (I don't know what it's called lol). Slowly, I opened it, and Amy began to sing the lulluby she had made up herself.

Sleep me angels,
sleep so tight.
Tomorrow will be another day.
Sleep my babies,
sleep so well.
Tomorrow we will need you being your best.

13 different verses were sang. When number fourteen started, Amy started from the beginning of the song again.

Sleep my angels,
sleep so tight.
Tomorrow will be another day.

The music box stopped, and the song was over. Both girls had their eyes closed, and breathed evenly.
Amy got up, and watched them by the door, as did I. After watching them for a minute, we closed the door, not latching it. This, was a typical night.


And that's a typical day for Sonic and the family! Yay! Wow, that was a long chapter! By the way, that song isn't a real song, it's made up. Yes, I got some romance in here! Woop woop! Sorry if you don't like romance, I love it; throw it in every where I can. You're probably starting to wonder, where's the drama? Well, it's coming up in the next chapter. Very dramatic. Lol anyway, hope you enjoyed, and please review!
