Well, this is a unique situation for several reasons. First of all, I was asked for this back in February 2023, making it one of my more recent requests that I shunted o- I mean, said I'd get around to. Secondly, it's a rare case of the requester wishing to be anonymous and so they shall be. And third and finally, it's my first request to feature Tikal, as the pairing for this is her and Tails. I was also asked by the requester to take inspiration from a prior one-shot of mine in that Tails and Bernadette one and also from chapter 1 of SonicBlitz18's (no, that's not the requester's name before anyone asks) Tails Twist series. I can recommend it if you want some good Tails smut. Having said that, it will still be more or less its own thing. And it also will contain strong sexual content and language and all characters are 18 or over. If any of that bothers you or if you don't want to read it, then don't read. Otherwise, I shall see you at the bottom.

Tails the fox and Tikal the echidna had been in a relationship for a few years. Long enough that they'd been intimate in many ways, they knew what the other liked, and they knew how to keep each other happy. But they didn't make sex the base of their relationship as they genuinely trusted each other to be honest and, more importantly, responsible.

Tikal had been thinking of asking her boyfriend a very important question, and after he was done working on a blueprint for an upgrade for his plane, they were both on his couch, snuggled up as he put on the TV. As he skimmed through shows, she looked up at him, making him smile a little bit as he looked back down at her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I was... thinking about something..." she replied.

"What were you thinking about?" he asked.

"Well... I want to take our relationship a step further... and I was hesitant to bring this up. Not because I was worried you'd say no, but because it's something I've not really mentioned to you before."

"I do appreciate you thinking about me like that," Tails said, "but I would like to know what it is that you're asking."

Tikal closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded. "I... I want... to have a kid. With you."

Tails gulped a little bit. "A-A kid?"

"Yes... a little bit of you and a little bit of me, brought into this world..." Tikal smiled. "I know that we're not married yet, but that shouldn't be a problem."

"No, it isn't a problem," Tails said. "But... I don't know... I'm worried."

"What about?"

"Having a kid is a big responsibility. And not just raising it when it's born. If you get pregnant, we have to take so many safety measures, control what you eat and how you sleep..." He sighed, realising that he was avoiding the biggest part. "And-... and I'm scared..."

"Why would you be scared?" Tikal asked, putting a hand on his shoulder and softly rubbing it.

"What if I'm not a good dad?" Tails asked, sighing. "I don't have any doubts that you'd be a good mother. You're sweet, gentle, patient, and smart. And outgoing too. That would be good for the kid. But I... I shut myself in a lot. I create. That's kind of it."

Tikal rested her head on his shoulder. "What you said about me I could say for you as well."

Tails sighed. "I'm sorry... I... I don't think that I'm ready..." he said as he sat up.

Tikal nodded at that. "I'm sorry for asking."

"Oh, you don't have to apologise," Tails said to her. "I just... I'm not responsible enough to take care of another life. There's a difference between helping Sonic save the world and bringing someone new into it."

"No, I understand," said Tikal, trying to force a smile. "It's... it's not something we have to rush at all."

Tails nodded simply, not sure how to take his girlfriend's response, and he tried to come up with a reason to excuse himself, saying that he had to go to the bathroom. He went there and sat down on the toilet, not actually needing to go and instead burying his head in his hands, resting his elbows on his knees as he blew out a low, sad sigh.

"I've... I've been looking it up..." Tails said to himself. "How to raise a child in a healthy environment. And I want a kid, especially with her... but I am... so scared..." He shook his head. "And here I am talking to myself in my own bathroom instead of talking to the person that I love the most..." He then heard a knock at the door. "Yes?"

"Hey, uh... I need to use the bathroom," Tikal said. "You're not going to take too long, are you?"

"Uh-" Tails turned the tap on. "Just washing my hands!" He wiped his hands under the water and went to get a hand towel to dry his hands before opening the door to let Tikal in. "There. Didn't flush."

"Thank you," Tikal smiled as she went in.

Tails left and closed the door for her, placing his hands against the door and trying to say anything. But nothing left his mouth, so he left Tikal to do her business while he went back to the living room, sitting on the couch and pulling up his phone to scroll through some news and other things to pass the time until Tikal rejoined him.

"Hey," he said to her. "What are your plans for today?"

"Oh, I called my parents and told them I was staying over," Tikal replied. "So it looks like I'm with you for the day." She leaned her head on his shoulder, sighing through her nose.

The two-tailed fox noticed her reaction and nodded. "Let's... watch something..." He looked down and saw a tear streak on his t-shirt sleeve. "Tikal..."

"I don't... want to talk about it..." Tikal said. "I... I just cried a bit in the bathroom because of what you said... god, I feel like such a teenager. Like a selfish, spoiled girl..."

"No... you're not," Tails said, trying to reassure her. "You asked for something that I said no to. Something that I'm too scared to give you... because I'm scared I won't be any good at raising a child."

"I know, but... I-I told myself I'd be perfectly fine and understanding if you said now, and I just got out of the bathroom crying a little bit about it."

Tails nodded. "I was pretty close to crying myself... I felt horrible when I said no." He looked over to her. "I know that you understand why I said no, but even then, it didn't feel great to say it."

Tikal looked back to him. "I love you so much and I respect your boundaries. I'm sorry if I crossed them."

"I love you as well," Tails said. "And you didn't cross the boundaries, but thank you for understanding."

Tikal kept her head on his shoulder. "I'm just happy that we've come to that."

Tails smiled briefly, but when he saw her own face not showing any expression, he cleared his throat. He stayed silent for a few moments before closing his eyes, swallowing down his fear and pride and he let out a breath before he spoke again. "You know... uh... I... I said earlier I'd like to be a father one day..."

"Yes?" Tikal asked.

"And... maybe tonight... we could give it a go..."

"You... you don't have to do it just to make me happy..." Tikal said.

"I know, but... I want to..." Tails said. "I want to have a child with you."

Tikal smiled widely, but paused. "What made you change your mind?"

"Well... I wouldn't be a good father if I wasn't brave, right? And there's so many guides on raising a kid, but none of them seem to ever be the right way. So, I guess the reason is because I want to see how good I'd do as a dad one day because I know that you'd be a fantastic mother."

The orange echidna jumped on him and started to kiss him happily. "Thank you!" she said, planting kisses over his face.

Tails smiled and kissed back. "Of course... but I don't think we should do this on the couch."

"I agree there," Tikal smiled. "Bedroom?"

"Bedroom," Tails nodded.

The yellow fox carried his girlfriend to his bedroom, and the two didn't wait long to get started, both quickly removing their clothes as they got onto the bed together. They laid side by side and made out with each other, smiling lovingly at each other before he started to move down her body, kissing down it and making her moan a bit as he traced his tongue over her neck, shoulders, breasts, belly, and eventually her thighs. She opened up her legs for him as he pushed his head between them, his tongue happily and hungrily tracing over her pussy, and he groaned out at how good she tasted, his tongue becoming coated in her honey as she reached for his head and pulled him in closer, making him drink down her liquids.

After he was finished tasting her, he kissed back up her body and shared a deep kiss with her while she subtly pushed him onto his back, climbing up to his face and turning around so that she could bend her body, getting into a sixty-nine position with him. She stroked his cock with her hands and took it into her mouth, moaning as she slowly bobbed up and down on it while he pushed his lips against her pussy, making her pant as she ground against his face while she kept sucking on his penis, taking half of it down as she stroked him slowly. She kept stroking as she held her position, and she eventually rode out another orgasm, staining his lips and muzzle with more of her cum before she dislodged his dick from her mouth and climbed off of his face.

"How do you want me first?" she asked.

"Ride me..." the fox said. "You always feel good like that..."

"You make me feel good from it too..." Tikal blushed.

She got into position, swivelling her hips so that she was on top of him and facing him, and she moaned as she ground her hips with his, reaching to put her hands on his chest as she pushed her hips back and swung them forwards, moaning as Tails did. He tried to move in time with her rhythm, a dance that they'd done before many times, and eventually they settled into their rhythm, her hips swivelling up and going back down while his hips moved up against hers at the same time. Each time that they did this, he found himself slamming deep into her, making her groan as her wet entrance was filled with his prick, and she felt her lower lips quiver as she started to let out an orgasm over his shaft, her breath hitching as she rode it out.

She giggled a bit as he sat up with her and guided her to the edge of the bed, sitting with her on it and leaning to kiss her chest, his lips tracing up to her neck as well before landing on her lips again. She panted and rode on him, their hips moving together again as the two panted out, their lips continuing to meet as their tongues did as well, evenly battling with each other while she continued to grind on him. She groaned as she started to cum, her liquids leaking around his shaft and testicles again before he pulled her on top of him while laying back, holding her body close and rubbing her back as she came against him, her tongue panting out while she rode out her orgasm on top of him, his own hips slowly moving before he turned to put her on her side.

"Yes... do me like this... so deeply..." Tikal moaned.

"You're so beautiful..." Tails said as he slid deeply into her. "I love you so much..."

"I love you..." the orange echidna panted. "Love me more..."

Tails nodded and leaned to kiss her deeply as he started to thrust deeply into her again, his hands going to her hips as he moved his own, and she moaned against his lips in the kiss while his tongue entered her mouth. She kissed him back and reached to rub his lower back, even petting his tails while he moved a hand down to rub her clitoris, making her huff out a breath as her hips moved involuntarily and she began to cum again. She let out a few more breaths and looked deeply into his eyes as her orgasm stained their thighs, and she moaned as her tongue met with his while he slowed down his pacing, slowly shifting into her before pulling out of her and turning her around so that her back was facing him while he lifted her leg.

He slid himself into her behind and she panted as he thrust into her, his cock going deeply into her as she panted out while he kissed over her shoulder and neck while he put one hand on her chest and moved the other to her pussy. He rubbed it gently, his thumb stroking over her sensitive button while she began to cum again, her thighs shaking as her hips pushed back against his in an attempt to pull his penis deeper into her wet vagina. He grunted and pushed his hips against hers, his hand staying on her sensitive clitoris and rubbing it as he stopped thrusting, and his lips went to hers again in another deep kiss while she came around his cock even though he wasn't moving, her tongue clashing with his as she hit her climax.

He pulled out of her again and turned her body so that she was on her front on the bed, and he lifted her a bit to put her on all fours before sliding his juice-covered prick into her again, his hands going to her hips as he thrust deeply into her like this. She grunted at how deep he felt inside of her, and she soon started to shake her hips against his before he held her still, cocking his hips back and ramming into her deeply from behind. Her eyes screwed shut at the intrusion, and she moaned while he started humping into her, his body going over hers from behind while he leaned to kiss her back, his lips going over her shoulder blades as he penetrated her deeply, his hands staying on the sides of her ass cheeks as she collided with his torso.

He rutted into her several times as his lips went over her neck, kissing up her cheek. "I'm close..." he panted.

"I... I want you on top of me..." Tikal said. "I... I don't want to waste a drop... I want to be sure..."

"Then we will be..."

With that, the two-tailed fox turned his orange echidna girlfriend onto her back, leaning to press his chest against hers while their hands found each other, holding each other in a loving grip as he reared his hips back and thrust deeply into her. His lips met hers, their tongues clashing as well as she wrapped her legs around his body, pulling him in deeply as he thrust into her faster and deeper, making her groan and pant against his mouth as she started to cum from his movements. As he felt her vagina clenching around his cock, he released his orgasm as well, spilling a potent load of his sperm into her pussy, coating her womb with his seed as his movements got sloppier, their combined orgasms soon slowing down as they shared the afterglow of their bliss.

"Wow..." Tikal panted. "That was... wow..."

"It was..." Tails said. "I love you so much..." He looked at her eyes, then looked away, almost ashamed.

"What is it?" Tikal asked.

"Well, uh... ever since you... first asked that question, I... I've been doing research..." Tails admitted. "About how to properly raise a child safely and responsibly..."

"Oh..." Tikal said. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to. I really did..." Tails said honestly. "I just... didn't think I could handle it. There's a difference between what people read in books about raising kids and how they actually raise them."

"Oh, love..." Tikal put a hand on his chin, smiling. "You are going to be an amazing father. You don't have to worry about a thing. There isn't a right way to do that sort of thing. There's just our way. So... let's do it together."

Tails smiled. "I sort of forgot that you'd do most of the heavy lifting."

"Oh, trust me, I'm going to make you work as well," Tikal said.

Tails chuckled a bit. "True..." He then smiled again. "You know... if we want to be parents properly, we... need to make sure this isn't a fluke..."

Tikal grinned. "Then let's get back to work..."

And then, nine months later, they would welcome their child, a daughter, into the world. As she suckled on her mother's milk and was then burped, Tails helped to put her in her crib, petting his daughter's stomach gently before going back to his girlfriend who was laying in bed waiting for him.

"So... how are you liking being a dad?" Tikal smiled.

"I could get used to it," Tails said. "But this is just day one... there's a lot more ahead of us. And I'm brave enough to face them all because... well, I have you." He sat with her in bed. "I love you."

"I love you as well," Tikal smiled, kissing him before leaning to rest her head as he reached to turn the lamp off. Within a few moments, a cry was heard over the monitor, and Tails sighed a bit before Tikal smiled. "You sure you can handle it?"

"I can," Tails said. "Unless you want to change her nappy with me?"

"Hmm... I'll leave that to you," Tikal giggled. "I'll be waiting for you."

I had a feeling this wouldn't be that long, but I also didn't think it'd be this wholesome for a smut one-shot. I hope you liked it as I did as well. Next will be a couple more one-shots, then maybe Cyber Riders after those. Until then, take care, and stay tuned.
