"Where are we?" I heard Zeke ask Knuckles for the tenth time.
And he replied with the same answer: "Aunt Rouge's."
"Oh," Zeke said lowly. I watched him make a tensed, concentrated look on his face, as if he were struggling with his words. Or maybe he didn't quite know what to say. Then he looked up at me from Knuckles lap, as they were sitting on a couch across from me.
"Mommy?"
"Yes, sweetie?" I asked and laughed a little when his face twisted from the 'girly' nickname.
"Where's Daddy?" I stopped laughing.
I was so angry at Sonic, that I wasn't thinking about how this would affect Zeke.
"He's... He's probably home, sleeping." I told him, trying to show a sweet smile.
"Oh," He replied, almost a whisper.
I caught Knuckles's eyes and silent begged for help.
He understood. He stood, throwing Zeke playfully over his shoulder and roaring loudly while he tickled his sides.
Zeke's laughter overpowered Knuckles dulling roars,and as Knuckles carried him off I heard him ask, "Let's go make some hot chocolate. Then, do you wanna go play with your Aunt's jewels?"
Zeke face brightened "Yea!"
"Is he asleep?" Amy looked up from her still full mug of hot coco, which was, now, probably as cold as the air outside.
"Yea," I sighed and sat beside her, racking my hand through my dreadlocks. My slight drunkenness had left me with a fuzzy headache, "Out like a light."
She nodded and looked back down into the mug. "Sonic called." She said. "Again"
I knew she probably didn't answer, but I still asked, "What did he say?"
She set the mug down on the table, "He asked if Zeke was okay."
I raised a brow, "Is that it?"
"And he wants to talk, about my request of a divorce."
There, that sounds believable. Even if Amy and Sonic fought for every hour of every day of every year, I knew for sure that these two where very much in love with each other. More then Rouge loved her diamonds.
Speaking of which, I now own another scar. I didn't think she'd come home so early.
I sighed again thinking back to the situation at hand, this will be a long and painful week.
Please R&R
