"Now, are you sure you're okay with me going? I can tell them I can't make it if you're unhappy with me going. Are you sure you're fine?"

The green haired male was talking about a connoisseur gathering that was held in Vertress City every year. He would be gone for a day and Iris getting sick almost every few hours had made him apprehensive about leaving her.

"Ci-lan, I'll be fine…" she whined and pouted at him in a cute way despite feeling very nauseous. "It's probably just something I ate…" she looked down at her stomach, nibbling her lip slightly.

Cilan sighed and went to the front door with his briefcase in his hand and his brown cargo jacket over his arm.

"You're probably right…" he frowned and held his chin with his fingers, thinking, before pulling her into a hug. "It's probably just a twenty four hour bug."

Iris nibbled her lip further, closing her eyes and burying her head into his chest.

"I have no idea what's going on…" she mumbled although she had an idea. It wasn't a one hundred percent positive feeling but a niggling feeling was there. Deep down she knew.

Cilan pulling away from the hug interrupted her deep thoughts.

"Me neither…" he sighed before consulting his watch. "Well honey, I'd better get going." He pulled his jacket onto his body and picked up the briefcase before blowing Iris a kiss, much to her confusion.

"Don't I get a proper kiss?" her eyes grew wide with bewilderment and her lips formed her trademark pout.

The green haired connoisseur sighed fondly and opened the door to head off to the airport.

"No you don't… If you are sick then I can't risk catching it and spreading it throughout the hundreds of connoisseurs." He shrugged at her, noticing her bottom lip was quivering.

Along with the sickness, Iris was feeling very clingy and hormonal at the same time. "All right just one…" he groaned at her before leaning his face closer to hers and… kissing her on the cheek.

"Ci-lan!" pronouncing her boyfriend's name in two dramatic syllables was one of her habits when she was cross with him. "That's not a proper kiss!"

Cilan pulled away from this small kiss and went outside to stand on the porch.

"I'm sorry but that's all you're getting. It's better than nothing, no?"

Iris' blown up pouty face clearly showed otherwise.

"Well never mind…" he sweat dropped and chuckled sheepishly, his eyes arrow shapes. "I'll be back very late tonight. Pansage is staying to keep Axew company and my brothers will be next door if you need anything."

The purple haired young woman pouted once more before her eyes filled with slight tears and she waved at him as he walked down their driveway.

"Bye Cilan! I'll miss you!" she sniffed sadly as Axew and Pansage scuttled to her feet, calling their names as goodbye to the green haired male.

Cilan was shocked to see Iris' tears and smiled sadly before waving back.

"I'll miss you too but I'll be back before you know it. I love you Iris!"

Before Iris could say the same back to him, he was out of sight. Sighing sadly, she went back inside and shut the door. As she reached the kitchen, a wave of nausea washed over her and she had to sit down.

"Aw man not again…" she rested her sweaty feeling head on the table and caught sight of her favourite red fruit. "Hey maybe an apple will help. They always make me feel better no matter what."

Iris took one bite out of the apple and her face scrunched up confusedly.

"Ew these apples are disgusting!" she spat out her mouthful into a tissue and shuddered violently. "My taste buds are going whacko! What is happening to me…?" she whined, her eyes filling with tears again before she caught sight of the video phone in the hall.

"Maybe I could call someone…? But who's familiar with what I'm going through?" She mumbled the names of May, Dawn and Shannon before picturing the red headed young woman whom she had grown quite close to. "Misty! I'll call Misty!"

She ran into the hall chanting the water type trainers name excitedly, causing Axew and Pansage to look up confusedly from their game of tag. Nibbling her lip anxiously yet with a strange wave of excitement, she dialled Misty's number. After just a few seconds of waiting, somebody answered.

"Hi Misty! Great to see you- Oh…" she trailed off, seeing a huge pair of brown chocolate orbs thrust into the webcam.

"Heyyo!" the high pitched and giggly voice sqeaked.

Before Iris could blink confusedly and say hello back, Misty appeared, holding onto a little ginger baby that looked the spitting image of her mother.

"Sorry about that Iris…" she sweat dropped and waved at her sheepishly with one hand before picking up the baby in front of the camera. "Benjamin Ketchum…" she held him in front of her nose with one hand, a fierce look on her face before crying waterfall tears. "Why did you have to be like your father?"

Misty sighed and disappeared for a few seconds, putting them in their playpen in Ash's office.

"Sorry about that Iris…." She sighed exhaustedly and flicked her bangs out of her eyes. "What can I do for you…?" the red headed woman smiled warmly.

Iris grinned at her, still nibbling her lip.

"I see the twins are still causing you havoc?" she smiled broadly before looking down at her stomach. "I have a bit of a problem…"

Misty could see the worried and anxious look in her friend's eyes, an expression she'd never seen before. Of course, she became very concerned.

"What's up honey…?"

Iris took a deep breath before looking into the webcam as if it was her good friend's eyes.

"Misty…" she paused, her breath shaky and eyes wobbling with fear. "I think I'm pregnant…"
