Chapter 8: Day 7: Comfort After A Nightmare.
Aleena woke with a start after a loud scream was heard by her from Sonic's room. She quickly threw her bed covers off and ran to her heroic son's bedroom. She quickly opened the door to see Sonic on his bed, sobbing his eyes out.
Aleena walked over to his bed and sat beside her crying son, "What's wrong, honey?" she asked the crying Blue Blur, who looked up at her.
"I had a nightmare, Mom." said Sonic.
"What about?" Aleena asked.
"I was in a dark space, I saw you, I walked towards you and then all of a sudden Dr. Eggman appeared from behind and grabbed you and ran off. I chased after him but by the time I caught up you had already been roboticized by him and you were about to shoot me with a blaster you had on your arm and that's when I woke up. Mom, I just can't stand the thought of losing you after not having you around for so many years. You mean the whole world to me more than anything else. I just cannot imagine my life without you. You're the most awesome person I've ever known." said Sonic as he threw himself around his mother's neck, sobbing uncontrollably into her shoulder.
Aleena stroked his quills softly while hugging her son back, trying to comfort him, "Shhhhh… shhhhh… it's okay, Sonic, Mommy's right here for you. It was just a nightmare. Trust me, sweetie, you'll never lose me." Aleena sat with Sonic in her arms for some time until he eventually quieted down and she had tucked him back under his bed covers.
She was about to head back to her room when she heard Sonic say, "Mom, will you please stay with me tonight?"
Aleena walked over to Sonic's bed and softly stroked his forehead, "Of course, sweetheart." she said with a comforting smile. She then climbed under the covers beside her son. As she started to fall asleep she felt arms around her waist. She opened her eyes to see it was Sonic, who had tears streaming from his eyes and was shaking with sobs.
Aleena comfortingly wrapped her arms around Sonic and kissed his forehead, "I love you, Sonic." she said as she fell asleep with Sonic wrapped protectively in her arms. For the rest of the night Sonic had no nightmares but a peaceful sleep knowing his mom would always be there for him, whenever he needed her.
