Author's Note: Well, you might as well say this is none other than a summary. Anyway in this story, Ash and Misty are parents now. Ash is 28 years old and Misty is 30. They both have a beautiful 5 year old daughter whose name is Ashlee Ketchum. You guys probably already knew that...I guess there was no other perfect name just then...So, they already have a wonderful daughter, but now another little one is expected. "Twins," actually. And as Ash and Misty prepare for their new arrivals, some "flashbacks" being told by Ash or Misty might be in the story as well. So enjoy!
(Flashback One)
Narrator: Ash Ketchum
Misty and I have been real busy lately. Taking care of Ashlee, and preparing for the new twins. Even though our little Ashlee's growing up now, we still have to keep an eye on her because she's always into stuff, and can easily get hurt. Then I have to keep an eye on Misty too because of her pregnancy. I'm not too sure how this one's going to go. But I remember what it was like when Ashlee was born.
It was like any other day. Or, any other evening. I came upstairs to make a trip to the bathroom when I saw Misty sitting on the bed. I knew for sure that she was either really tired, or something was wrong. She was never really a "sit around" person. I learned that being pregnant doesn't stop her from working hard. So I walked in to check on her.
"Hey Mist, you feeling alright?" I asked her, a little bit worried.
I saw that she had a hand on her stomach. She then turned to me.
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine..." she told me in such an unsure voice.
So I asked her what was wrong. She told me her stomach was bothering her.
"Do you feel sick?" I asked her.
She shook her head no, and said but it did hurt a little. She said the babies have been kicking harder than ever, and she felt some painful cramps that followed. I was worried that she might've been going into labor, but it was too early. So after she assured me that she was alright, even though I thought different, I went to the bathroom. So after a few minutes, I had just washed my hands and was now drying them. I was just about to go check on Misty anyway, until she started scream my name from the bedroom. I ran as fast as I could down the hall. Then as I approached the doorway, I find her on the floor on her knees. One hand clutching her stomach and the other holding onto the end of the bed. She was panting heavily in some serious pain. And as I helped her up, I noticed the half clear half bloody puddle beneath her. And that's when I realized...her water just broke! And contractions have already started!
"A-Ash...The baby is...on it's way..." she said to me just before another contraction hit.
At first, I didn't know what to do, but panic. But then I told myself to calm down, and try not to act like one of those crazy husbands that freak out everytime their wife might go into labor. So I carefully helped her downstairs, and into the car, and we were off to the hospital. I have to admit, I winced just about everytime she screamed from a contraction. I hated seeing Misty in pain. So as the birth was about to begin, Misty was giving the doctors a very hard time. And even though she might've been literally squeezing the living daylights out my hand, I was still there to help her get through this. I continued to stroke her hair and tell her that everything's going to be alright. She knew it and I knew it. Then when it was time to push, our baby was here in no time.
"It's a girl!" I heard the doctor say.
And when the doctors told me to do the honors of cutting the cord, I did get a little squeamish, but I did it. I held our baby girl in my arms just before handing her to Misty. As I stroked her face with one finger gently, I took a good look at her realizing she looked like me, and Misty. And just like today, she was born with Misty's blue and greenish eyes, and had dark hair like me. Then when Misty looked at her, she already knew what name would be perfect for her. And that's when little "Ashlee" came into the world. And after I gave Misty a kiss, her and I looked at eachother then back at Ashlee, knowing we had created a miracle.
Oh god...how am I going to handle this next birth...Who's going to babysit Ashlee when Misty goes into labor and is in the hospital! Oh god...As long I'm a busy father, I might have to kiss my pokemon master days goodbye...
(End Of Flashback One)
OMG, sorry for the shortness everyone! And just to let you all know, only the flashbacks might be a little short. The regular chapters won't, I promise you that! Also, you'll easily be able to tell which ones are flashbacks since they'll be in parentheses. The flashbacks are not part of the story. It's like a in-between thing. And don't worry, the next chapter won't be a flashback. But there will be more. You'll be able to tell!
