A Family's Bond

Hello! I hope you'll enjoy this oneshot collection of Ash, Cilan and their family!

I do not own Pokemon.

Ash walked through the door of his home, the slamming of the door alerting the rest of his family that he was there. His children, Rose, Hunter and Paige came running down the hall to greet him, as Cilan poked his head from the kitchen.

"Hi there Ash! How was the gym today?" his husband asked, barely heard over the children's screaming. He smiled down at the kids, giving them each a hug as he replied,

"It was great! Everyone who challenged really cared about their pokemon!" he said with a grin. Hunter tugged on his father's pant leg.

"Daddy, when I get a pokemon I'm gonna care about 'em too!" he said, with a proud smile. Ash chuckled, patting his head.

"I know you will"

"Well, you got here just in time. Dinner's ready!" Cilan said from the kitchen. The kids cheered, running towards the dining table. Ash and Cilan smiled at each other as they themselves sat down to eat. Cilan had already placed food bowls on the floor for their pokemon. Ash released them, with the exception of Pikachu who was on his shoulder and simply climbed down. They all began to eat.

"Rose, how was school?" Ash asked. Rose's face lit up in realization.

"I'll be right back!" she said, getting out of her chair and running into the room she shared with Paige. A moment later she came back, waving a piece of paper in the air.

"I got an A on my pokemon quiz!" she said, thrusting the paper into Ash's hands.

"That's great, sweetie!" Ash said, patting her head with a grin. Rose beamed.

"You'll make a great connoiseur one day" Cilan praised, and Rose nodded, taking the test back.

"What about me, Dad? Am I gonna make a good trainer?" Hunter asked. Cilan smiled as he responded,

"Of course. You'll even be able to beat your Daddy one day!"

Hunter cheered, and Ash could only chuckle.

"And Paige, you'll make an amazing coordinator!" he added, and Paige giggled, kicking her feet.

Ash and Cilan smiled at each other. The love they held for both their children and each other was infinite, and they knew it.

Weeeee! :D

Okay so, Rose is 8 and will be a connoiseur when she turns 10. Hunter is 6 and will be a trainer, and Paige is 5 and will be a coordinator.

Rose, Hunter and Paige, although they were adopted, each have similiarities to their parents. Rose has green hair, but blue eyes. Hunter has hazel eyes but blond hair. And Paige has black hair and green eyes. ;)
