Okay chapter 2. sorry if the chapters aren't that long still. i'm still working on length but i guess, its better for me to post sooner so, yay for short chapters. DX

i hope you guess like this chapter. i tried my best. I'm kinda on writers block. ^.^ enjoy.

The weeks passed by fast and soon Brocks wedding was just a few days away. Misty paced around the living room, all her bags were packed and left in the corner of the room. Her plane was in 2hours and as the time kept decreasing Misty felt nervous and sick. Gary walked in the doorway his bag on his shoulder "you ready. The taxi's outside." Misty stopped in her tracks, she placed her hand on her belly. She was scared, the bump wasn't obvious but it was there. And for the people who know her the most they would either think she gained weight or was pregnant.

Still keeping her promised she signed and looked at Gary "yeah i'm ready."

(PEWTER CITY HOTEL)

Misty arrived at the hotel with Gary, "wow Brocks having his wedding here!" She glanced up at the biggest hotel in the city. Gary smirked "meh, it's not the greatest."

Misty rolled her eyes, "and here I thought you changed Gary Oak,but your still as arrogant as you used to be."

"Misty just because I help a friend in need doesn't make me less of an ass."

Inside the hotel people rushed around, It was hard for Misty to get through without bumping into people . The life inside of her was precious and she didn't want anything to happen to it. As they made their way to the front desk, a gray headed man stood with his back turned talking to the Hotel Clerk who was handing him a hotel key, "Here you go , I hope you find your stay enjoyable." Taking the key Mr. Oak laughed "There is gonna be a wonderful event going on in the next few days, of course I will enjoy my stay!" He turned around only to be facing his Grandson and Misty.

"GARY! MISTY!" his eyes grew large "where have you two been? It's been five months!"

Misty was tongue tied she hadn't thought of a good explanation of why she left without telling anyone, but gary on the other hand knew exactly what to say "You see gramps with all that has happened, I figured it was time for a Vacation, and I didn't want to go alone so I took Red with me."

Professor Oak seemed confused "For 5months?"

Gary put his arm around his grandfather " well you see it was research training for me and a vacation for her." He glanced at Misty and she nodded in agreement "Yep..yep. I was chilling at the beach and he was out doing special research." She put on a assuring smile to make it seem believable.

After a brief minute of awkward silence professor Oak cuffed his hands to his face "o. special research Gary! I have to hear about that!"

Gary smiled "of course lets walk and talk."

Seeing Gary take Professor Oak away, Misty decided the best thing to do now was get the hotel room Key and head to the room before someone else saw her. She really didn't feel like meeting anyone, and she hoped she could get through the wedding ceremony without talking to Ash.

MISTY POV

I exited the elevator, happy that I made it without seeing anyone I knew. I began looking for my room number which was 812, dragging my bag behind me. I heard laughter coming from behind a room and thought that the walls were pretty thin. Then in a flash, the door beside me opened and someone came jolting out the room bumping into me. I landed on my back and who ever had bumped into me tumbled down the hall.

As I slowly sat up another person appeared out of the room and held a hand out " I'm sorry. My daughter doesn't really have manners. She just really wanted to hurry and get to the ice cream at the buffet table."

I grabbed the person hand without looking up because I knew who he was. "are you okay miss?" he hand a hint of concern and sorrow in his voice. I guess he didn't know who I was yet. I slowly nodded, I feared to answer. I was about to grab my bag when the guy reached over and grabbed it instead. "here let me help you with that miss. I can see your with child."

My face turned red, 'ah. How did he know? Is it that noticeable." I covered my face more with my hair, I couldn't have Ash find out who I was. He walked to the little girl still sitting on the floor "Misha you should be careful next time." the girl nodded "i'm sowri daddy." with his free arm he grabbed her hand and then turned back to me. "Now, where is your room miss."

I lifted my hand up slowly and pointed down the hallway,He didn't say anything and continued walking in the direction he was facing. The whole walk to my hotel room was eerie quiet. Ash didn't talk and Misha didn't say a thing either, maybe Ash really didn't know it was me, Misty.

I signed in relief as we reached the door, he placed my bag down and stood there. I was wondering why he didn't leave yet, even when I began to open my door. Then he spoke, the words I didn't want him to say "How you been, misty?" His voice echoed in my ears and at that moment I froze. I didn't look at him, I couldn't look at him. I was afraid to see the reaction on his face. Afraid I'd cry in front of him and tell him we could have worked this out. I could feel his eyes still on me. Waiting for me to say something. Waiting for me to break the ice. The only voice that was heard was little Mishas, she squealed in delight when she heard my name. But I was not happy and I did not want to face them, not yet. So in a panic, I did what I could think of, I ran into the room and slammed the door shut.

I've been in my room for the last six hours staring into space. I wanted to call Gary but I knew he was probably still catching up with his grandfather. My stomach growled,I was hungry, the baby was hungry. I realized I hadn't ate anything since I arrive. I decided I would sneak downstairs to be 24/7 open buffet, hopefully wishing Ash was out of the hotel or maybe just in his room sleeping. I cracked open my door slowly and peeked behind it, the hallway was empty, that was a good sign' tip toeing down the hall and made it to the elevator,pushing the button I cheered happily in my head, I was halfway to my destination and NO ash in sight. Finally the elevator door dinged and I looked up as it opened, the smile on my face slowly faded and replaced with a small frown of disappointment "ash?" I said, as we were once again face to face with each other. Maybe this was a sign, maybe there was a reason why I couldn't avoid him forever. He stood there, his face emotionless, just starring at me. I didn't know if I should run or say something. But before I could think of somehow making this encounter less awkward, he pulled me into a hug.

"I was worried about you" He whispered, "After that day, I thought you left and did something crazy. I didn't know where you went and everyone was in panic for a while." At hearing his voice I unfroze and pushed him back slowly

"you were worried about me?"

he nodded "of course, even if things didn't work out between us, we can still be friends."He looked me up and down "and I see your expecting so I take it you found someone when you left." I didn't say anything, did he really think I was the type of girl to just go find someone after I got my heart ripped out and broken.

When I didn't answer he decided to keep talking " so how you been misty?"

"fine." I mumbled.

There was just nothing to say, it was to weren't the same anymore, and probably never will be. I signed "I'm heading if your not going you should get out the elevator."

he places his arm behind his head 'haha, yeah your right. I don't want to go down stairs" He walked out the elevator and I pushed the 'L' button for lobby. But as the doors were closing he places his foot to stop it. "wait..misty. I just want to say, that I hope we can still be friends. I don't want to lose you as a friend ok." then he removed his foot and the door closed. Heading down I couldn't help but cry, seeing Ash again brought back so many emotions. I loved him but he wanted to be friends. I couldn't help but feel so stupid, that I had a small hope of him wanting me back. How can I tell him the baby is his when he doesn't even love me.

Ahh. I hope this chapter made sense, I been trying to see where I wanted to go with this but I'm not entirely sure yet. I guess I need to develop more on the ash and misty breakup/friendship/romance thing a bit more. But anyway I hope you enjoyed it. Will try to update quicker. But my thoughts aren't flowing much. Its pretty hard.
