Surge jolted awake, breathing heavily.
“Babe?” Manic asked groggily. He sat up and held Surge. “Another nightmare?”
Surge slowly nodded.
“It’s been a few years since you had one.” Manic said, stroking her spines. “I suppose that’s progress.”
Surge flinched again as Manic’s alarm went off.
Manic reached over and shut off his phone. “It’s okay, Babe.” He said. “It’s just my phone. I’ll make coffee and-”
The door swung open.
Manic and Surge’s five year old twins, Glitch and Cyber, ran in.
Manic sighed. “You’re supposed to knock.”
“Sorry.” Glitch and Cyber said as they climbed onto the bed.
“Alright, hug your Ma.” Manic said. “She had a nightmare.”
Glitch and Cyber hugged Surge.
“Thanks.” Surge said, patting the kids on the back.
Manic got up and stretched his arms. “Alright, would anyone like to go out for breakfast?”
Cyber brushed her long spines over her shoulder. “Can we go to the waffle place?”
Glitch grinned. “Yeah, Dad, can we?” He asked. “Please?”
“Sounds good.” Surge said.
Manic picked up Cyber. “Alright, then you two get ready.” He said, setting Cyber down on the floor.
Glitch climbed off the bed and raced his sister out of the room.
Manic leaned over and kissed Surge. “I thought I’d do something nice for them and you’d prefer a quiet night in for a date night.”
“You know me too well.” Surge said, sliding off the bed.

Surge and Manic snuggled on the couch, quietly enjoying each other’s company since the streaming service they were trying to watch a movie on kept buffering.
“This is nice.” Manic said, pulling the blanket over Surge. “It’s been a while since we just sat in a quiet room.”
“Yeah, it’s great.” Surge replied. She winced and rubbed her arm as it started tingling.
“Nerve pain again?” Manic asked.
“Yeah, I think Tails has to update my parts again.” Surge replied.
“I’ll call him tomorrow.” Manic said.
Surge yawned.
Manic got up. “Alright, let’s get you to bed.” He said, picking Surge up. He took two steps, then set her down. “That metal is too heavy.”
Surge huffed. “Excuse me?”
Manic rubbed the back of his head. “I didn’t mean-”
“I was kidding.” Surge said.
Manic laughed. “I shouldn't keep falling for that.” He replied. He kissed Surge. “Love you, babe.”
“Love you too, cute stuff.” Surge said.
“Babe?” Manic asked groggily. He sat up and held Surge. “Another nightmare?”
Surge slowly nodded.
