16 years ago…

"Congratulations, Chuck! What's the new baby going to be?" The young man took a drink from his drink and smiled before answering his friend.

"It's a girl." Chuck's friend gave him a hearty pat on the back, making him nearly choke on his drink.

"Isn't that a coincidence? Monica and I are having a boy and Rose and you are having a girl! Have you thought of any names yet?"

"Not very many, Jett. Rose likes names that have to do with flowers like Petunia. I told that there is no way I'm naming my daughter after a plant! I kind of like names like Samantha and Shana. What about your son?"

"We can't decide between Lee and Tyler. It's still three months before the baby comes, so we have plenty of time."

"I have five months to go. I heard Rose and Monica planning a joint baby shower. I don't know if poor Miles can handle two moody females."

"Is Amber pregnant too?"

"No, but whatever mode Rose is in, she's in it too. Canines are sensitive to other's moods and tend to reflect them."

"You are the Canine Expert of the Kanto region. How about I pick up the tab?"

"Go ahead. We'll both be dirt poor soon."

A few months later…

Chuck sighed as the last guest left from the shower. His wife lay sleeping on the couch, surrounded by baby clothes, toys, and baby care items. Amber lay beside her, also asleep. Miles had been by the Ninetails until Chuck walked back into the room. He carefully got up and came over to him. He received a scratch behind the ears.

"It's just you and me, buddy. What should we do?" The Mightyena ears' twitched as the sound of a car door slamming shut came from outside. Suddenly, he rushed to the front door. The fur rose along his back, his ears lay flat, and a low growl grumbled from his throat. Chuck grabbed a baseball bat. Amber had been awoken by Miles' growling and joined him. Chuck slowly opened the door. He nearly dropped the bat.

"Hello, Charles."

"What are you doing here?" The man smiled.

"I heard the news and came by to give a gift for the newest member of the Kline clan."

"Go away before I call the police." The man set down the box and went back to his car. Charles made sure to not pick up the gift until the car drove out of sight. He picked up the box and took it to the kitchen. Amber and Miles followed him, curious as to the contents off the box. He opened it, pulling out a plush Pichu. Miles picked up something from the floor and bought it to him. Charles opened the card.

Charles- I look forward to meeting your child someday. I know we had our conflicts in the past. We are adults now, and I have no time for childish rivalries. I wish you and Rose a happy life with your family. If you never cross my path, I will never cross yours. Let Jett know I offer him and Monica luck with their new family too. – Giovanni. PS: As a favor for nostalgia's sake, I will not plant agents in your workplace

Charlie crumpled up the note and allowed Amber to set it on fire. Stay where you belong, in Viridian City with your Rocket Gang.

Sometime later…(not that same night)

Rose had gone into labor around 2 in the morning. A much panicked Charles quickly got her into the car and drove her to the nearest hospital. Her doctor met them at the hospital with a wheelchair and rolled her in. Charlie called his family and friends to let them know about the good news. He donned on a mask and went to help his wife.

"Charlie!"

"I'm right here, sweetheart." She gripped his hand tightly.

"Alight, Mrs. Kline, push!" her doctor declared. Charlie began to pale. "I can see the baby; just one more ought to…" Clunk! One of the nurses looked over to see Charlie unconscious.

"Charlie?" Rose exclaimed, "What happened?"

"Someone get a stretcher!"

Charlie found himself in a hospital room when he woke up. Aw man, I fainted in the delivery room! Jett is never going to let me live this down! He didn't faint when Tyler was born! He and Rose did eventually agree on a name, Lily Shana Kline.

AN: Hey guys, I just decided to correct a few things. Thanks to my reviewer for pointing out my baby gender timing error.
