They laid in bed, both of their eyes closed. Their breathing had evened out long ago, and they had drifted off. His arms lazily fell around her waist, their legs intertwined. Their noses just barely touching. The creaking of the door opening.
It was the cliche parent moment in every movie. When the kid comes tugging on the sheets of the bed, rousing his mom from her peaceful slumber. Which is exactly what had just happened, as jade eyes opened to find similarly shaded ones staring sadly into hers.
"Chase, what's wrong?"
"I..." He paused to snuggle a little, rubbing at his eye. "I had a nightmare."
"Oh. Come here." She scooted over, allowing the small hedgehog to crawl up and over here, nestling himself between his two parents. "I promise no matter what, me and your dad will protect you." She laid her head down, affectionately pressing her nose against her son's, a motherly smile adorning her face.
"Really?" Small jade eyes filled with admiration. He knew who his parents were, he knew what they were capable of.
And he gasped when he felt himself lifted into his father's lap. When had he awoken? "Yes, really. Your mother is like incredibly strong. Trust me, I would know."
His mother giggled, punching his dad playfully in the arm. "Liar."
"Ow! Do you see this, Chase? Your mother is abusing me!" He feigned hurt, eventually laughing it off, Chase joining him, and then his mother too.
"And I promise I'll protect you too!" The small hedgehog proclaimed loudly, his parents giving him adoring smiles.
"I don't doubt it," they both mumbled, before laying themselves down. Eventually drifting back into the world of sleep. Sonic and Amy's hand were entertained over Chase.
A secret bubbled in Amy's mind. One she was eager to tell, but it would have to wait.
A/N: I feel bad about not having stories, so I wrote this too. More Chase! Hazzah!
