He whirled his twin tails together and flew up above the trees so he could where he was. He saw his warehouse and headed towards it. The defense system let him pass right through, so he walked inside, and saw that Shadow wasn't there. Sighing with relief, he went into his room, and collapsed on the bed, unaware of the dark shape heading towards him. Pain spread through his forehead as the red and black hedgehog knocked him unconscious.

"Ugh," he groaned and opened his eyes.

He was lying in a bright white room and his ankle was shackled to one of the walls. Noting the throbbing pain in his head, he slowly sat up, and leaned up against the wall. Evidently Shadow had still been in the warehouse, but he had been to tired to double check. Black spots flashed acrost his vision, making his head light, so he closed his eyes. Once the light headiness went away, he opened his eyes again, and sighed. At least Midna was safe...he hoped. He shook his head, knowing that he had to trust Sonic, and pray that Midna was safe. He highly doubted Sonic would let anything happen to her, but he was pretty concerned about whether or not he knew how to take care of the baby.

At least she was smart. He figured she'd be able to communicate with Sonic enough to let him know if something was wrong. The thought of her smile made him grin and his heart throbbed for the little girl. Sighing, he let his head lightly tap the wall, and tried to keep himself entertained.

He didn't have to try for long.

The door slid open suddenly and he scowled as Eggman walked in, "Hello again," he said coolly.

Tails ignored him and turned his head away. He figured it would be better if he kept his face blank and mouth shut.

"Well...let's get down to business, shall we?" Eggman exclaimed, "All that you have to do is tell me where little Midna is."

"No," he snapped, then mentally slapped himself at his slip up, vowing not to talk to Eggman again.

"I'll find her anyways," he assured him, "If you just tell me now, her pain will be short lived."

His heart skipped a beat at the thought of Midna getting harmed. Still, he kept his cool, and violently shook his head.

"I'll find her, whether you like it or not," Eggman growled.

He almost smirked, but kept his face blank, and ignored his threat. Something knocked him roughly aside and he winced as the shackle around his ankle yanked him back. He blinked away tears and gently rubbed his ankle.

"Where is she?" Eggman demanded.

He just glared at him and didn't respond. He yelped as something threw him back into the wall again and he slid down, pain exploding through him. He gritted his too keep himself from screaming.

"That child will fall into my grasp, sooner or later," he threatened, exiting the room.

He let out a small whimper and caressed his throbbing ankle. Deciding he'd better get at least some rest, he laid down, and fell into a restless sleep.

"TILS!" Midna yelled again, crying.

Sonic groaned, "Tails had to leave. He'll be back later."

"TTTTTIIIIIILLLLSSSSS!" she screamed anyways.

He put his hands over his ears, "Ugh..."

He looked frantically around the shed and handed her a gardening glove. She looked at it curiously, then up at him, and then a huge grin spread across her little face.

"Didy!" she insisted.

"Uh...that's a glove," he pointed out.

"No, Didy," she said stubbornly.

He held up his hands, "Okay, whatever you want. Ugh...Amy should be here, not me."

Her face lit up, "Mi?"

"Yeah, even Knuckles would be better," he muttered.

"Uckles!" she looked around, then her face fell.

He laughed and picked her up, "Hm...wait...Tails said you were Cosmo's baby...does that make him..." he shook the thought from his mind, "Na. You probably came from that seed I gave him, huh?" he tickled her chin.

She squealed with delight and squirmed a little.

He smiled, "You like that?"

He tickled her again and she squealed even more. Her hands flew up in the air and then she accidently kicked him in the jaw.

He rubbed it painfully, "Ow, you sure can kick."

She giggled and snuggled into his shoulder. He held her awkwardly, never really having experience with babies. The youngest person he knew was Cream. He looked out the small window and began to pat her back. She fell even more limp and he figured she'd fallen asleep. He laid her down on a small cot and stretched out on the floor. Soon he was snoring loudly and sleeping.

Ya, I know, I made Eggman kinda outta character. XP Sorry...Anyways, hope you enjoyed it! ~tfflv
