Our home was alit with summer light ridding of all the shadows in the corners; yet our newborn child shone radiantly with innocence and a jovial energy. Her green eyes, much lighter than her mother's, looked around at the glittering high arched window as she nestled in Rose's arms. The sunlight brought a warm aura around the mother and child as she cooed a soft lullaby. My breath refused to escape as I listened to the sweet melody of Rose's voice as she usually sang the same lullaby to me when I hung in despair.

Rain shall cease to fall,
May it glisten in the morning,
Or storm in the night,
Sleep, my love, the sun will come again.

Her song brought back the memories of her adorned in white as she swiftly walked down a path of camellias, arm-in-arm with Sonic; she was breath-taking. Her green eyes gleamed with a soft glow from the sunlight and her irrevocable love was bonded with mine as she vowed to be my bride and love for as long as we lived. We danced; she spun by my side as the music enveloped us in a love song, her head on my shoulder and hand in mine, my eyes could not tear away from her glowing beauty. Prior to our matrimony, we decided to celebrate our marriage in the city of Soleanna. The afternoon sun bowed down to the reigning moon bringing out the city lights of vibrant colours as we overlooked the beauty of Soleanna. Rose, my striking bride, looking up to me eyes as her eyes gazed through her thick lashes sent chills down my back as I placed butterfly kisses down her neck reminding me that such exuberant beauty could not exist anywhere than in her. But now, I found it in my daughter.

I caressed our child's head, feeling her soft fur against my fingertips as she let out a soft coo and began to feel around in the air with the tiny hands.

"She wants her father." Rose said softly with smile.

A smile pulled at the corners of my lips as I was referred to as a 'father' as I carefully took my daughter into my arms. Her hands softly patted my muzzle as her green eyes gazed into mine; she was the spitting image of her mother with green eyes, pink fur and yet a little temperamental. I nuzzled my nose against hers, taking in the breath-taking moment that the little one in my arms was my daughter, someone so sweet and tiny. For someone so small, her personality would flow through me; loving, intellectual, determined and jovial. She was daydreamer, always in her world of thoughts; a quiet child unlike any other. Just like her father, Rose would usually say. Her eyes began to droop and her hands grew tired to patting my face and soon she was in a peaceful slumber.

Sleep well, my little one.

"She's just as beautiful as you, Rose." I said.

Carefully placing a soft kiss upon our daughter's forehead, I put her down in her little bed and she nestled into the warm, plush blankets. Her little mind would float with peaceful dreams as I usually pictured a peaceful life for her, undisturbed by Eggman. Turning to my wife, I pulled her to sit down with me and pressed my lips against her temple. The sunlight showered over us, making Rose's eyes slowly close and nuzzle closer to me; I whispered the rest of her lullaby to her.

Sleep, my little light,
Here I'll stay by you,
In the darkness,
Or in the shadows of the night,
So sleep, my love, the sun will come again.

Wrapping my arms around her, I placed my head upon hers and felt a growing spark of warmth linger in my chest watching my Rose sleep soundly. Slowly the spell of sleep blew over me and soon I was asleep with Rose in my arms with the dreams of her and our daughter swimming in my mind for nothing could replace this pure perfection; this was truly what I was given a second chance for.
