PoV: Vanilla

Sonic was discharged from the hospital and I took him home. He was legally regulated as disabled that day, and now I was receiving payment from the government to help care for him. The only really change was Metal.

"Sonic, Metal," I called them both, "Its time for bed."

"Is it late already?" He asked.

"It is. Let's get you changed," I removed his clothing and felt his fur, "Actually," I wrapped him in a robe, "Let's wash you up first."

"Mm..." he tensed a bit.

"I'll keep the water shallow," I ruffled his fur, "Metal, Harley, watch him for me."

  I started the bath for Sonic and checked the temperature.

"Mommy, do you think Sonic would like a bubble bath?" Cream asked and Cheese handed me a bubble bath packet.

"Maybe, it'll give him something to feel in the bath. Good idea you two," I smiled as my daughter added the packet into the warm water and we watched it foam.

"Chao!" Cheese put a rubber duck into the bubbles.

"Mama," Cream held my hand, "I'm happy Sonic is my big brother. And I hope Metal can be mine too."

"Yes, Metal is to join our family that's grown so much," I stood and brought Sonic down for his bath.

"What is this?" He asked.

"A bubble bath," I handed him the duck, "And something for you to play with."

"What's this?" Sonic squeezed it and it squeaked.

"Take a few guesses while I wash you."

"A dog toy?" He made it squeak again.

"No," I scrubbed him clean.

"A rubber duck?"

"It is. Chao though you might like it since it makes noise."

"I do, thank you," he held it and I watched him play until he was done being cleaned.

  I dressed him in pyjamas and put him to bed once he was dry. Metal was in charge of watching over him while he slept.

"Goodnight you two," I shut the door and walked downstairs to put cream to bed next.

  What am I going to do with such kind children? Spoil them I suppose, just not to much.

"Sonic, you're supposed to be asleep. Why is your conscience still active?"

"Metal," I whispered, "Can I tell you something?"

"You do not wish to sleep correct?"

"No. Hey... can you show me the moon? I'd like to see it again," I asked.

"I was ordered to guard you as you sleep."

"Please. We haven't used our five minutes today. I'd like to see the moon before bed..."

"Please wait a moment..."

  I heard the wooden floor and his footsteps. Then I felt his cold steal again me as the bed shifted.

"Can I see yet?"

"Yes," his cold metal was over my left eye, he closed it for me and I could see the moon from a window. Stars flooding the sky with clouds lingering near by.

"Its beautiful..." I yawned, seeing the moon, I finally felt tired.

"Sleep, I will not leave you're side."

"Mm... goodnight... metal..."

"Goodnight..."
