Wow, sorry it took so long everyone! So terribly sorry!
Misty's already in her third month of pregnancy, and she gets excited as each month passes. But for some reason, Misty can't stop looking at herself. She's been upstairs in the bathroom for almost fifteen minutes now, staring herself in the mirror. Ash realizes how long she's been up there, and comes up to see if she's alright.
"Hey Mist, there you are," he said walking into the bathroom.
Misty keeps looking at herself.
"Ash, come here for a minute." she says.
He stands right next to Misty confused, and looks at their reflection too.
"Ash...do I look bigger to you?" she asked.
"Of course Misty! But that's because you're carrying our child! And because it's growing!" he replied with a smile.
"Well I know that! But, something doesn't seem right. I'm only in my third month, and my stomach is huge! I wasn't this big when I was pregnant with Ashlee in the first few months, remember?"
Ash puts his hands on Misty's stomach.
"Yeah...Well, maybe you're just having more than one!"
Misty glares at him.
"Ash! This isn't funny! I'm not supposed to be this big yet!" she yells.
"Alright Mist, calm down! Okay, we're going to the doctor's tomorrow for your first ultrasound right?" he asked.
Misty nodded.
"There! That settles everything!"
"Wait, what?" Misty says.
"Misty, tomorrow, we'll just find out why you're stomach is bigger than it's supposed to be! The doctor'll tell us!" Ash said, then he left the room.
"How is he being so cheery?" Misty wonders.
Later on that day, Misty began to feel pretty moody. She did nothing but mope around all day, and she was tired. She didn't manage to get much sleep that night either. So she carefully sat on the couch for a few minutes. Ashlee ran up to her mother thinking she was just bored.
"Do you wanna play with me mommy?" she asked holding onto her stuffed animal.
Misty looked down at her young daughter lovingly, and put her hand on top of Ashlee's head.
"Maybe a little later sweetheart. Mommy's kind of tired right now, alright? But I'll do something with you later, I promise."
Ashlee totally understood, but worried about her mom most of the time, too.
"Kay mommy!" she said and ran up back to her room.
Then Ash comes in and sits next to Misty on the couch.
"Hey there Mist! You feeling alright?" he asked her.
"I feel fine. Just a little tired," she replied.
"Oh, okay. Then..."
Ash suddenly bent down and picked up a movie tape.
"You know, I was just going through some stuff and I can't believe I found this tape of some of my old pokemon battles. You wanna watch it later?" he asked.
Misty nodded.
"Sure, that sounds like fun." she said.
The rest of the day had passed on, and Misty did spend some quality time with Ashlee just like she promised, and watched the tape with Ash like she said she would. Then nightime came, and Misty didn't get much sleep then, either. But she became peppier when went it was time to get to the doctors. When they finally get settled into a room, the doctor comes in.
"Hello there Misty!" she says excitedly.
"Dr. Rachael! Hi!" Misty says.
"Hello Ash!"
"Hey doc!" he replied.
Dr. Rachael was a very nice and beautiful doctor that knew both Ash and Misty very well. She was tall, with nice long tan-ish hair, and always had a face that said either good morning, good afternoon, or good evening.
"How are you guys today?" she asked.
"We feel okay," said Misty.
Then Dr. Rachael looks down at the little girl sitting on Ash's lap.
"Oh? And who is this pretty little girl right here?"
"This is our daughter, Ashlee." replied Ash.
"Really! My, have you grown!" the doctor said excitedly.
Ashlee didn't know what to say, because she didn't even know the woman.
"Ashlee, this is Dr. Rachael. She did mommy's ultrasounds before you were born." said Misty.
"What's...ultwasounds?" the little girl asked.
Misty almost didn't know how to explain it, but she tried.
"Well, what an ultrasound is baby, you see that machine over there?" her mother asks as she points to the ultrasound machine.
Ashley nodded.
"Well, they use that special machine to see how the baby's doing in the mommy's tummy."
"D-does it hurt?" asked Ashlee.
Misty chuckled.
"No sweetie, it doesn't hurt at all! I did it with you twice! But most of the time, it might be a little cold though as soon you feel it."
Ashlee pretends to shiver.
"Brrrr, I don't like the cold!" she said.
All three adults started laughing.
"Don't worry doll, you won't feel it! Only mommy's gonna feel the cold!" said Ash having Misty glare at him.
"Okay, maybe we should just get this done and over with now. I really just want to know why my stomach is so big in only my third month." said Misty putting both hands on her stomach.
Dr. Rachael took a good look at Misty by standing back, realizing that there could be only one good explanation.
"Well let's start the ultrasound, shall we?"
As soon as Dr. Rachael hooked everything up, she instructed Misty to lay back and pull up her shirt. Ashlee, who was still sitting on her father's lap, was fascinated with her mother's growing belly. After Dr. Rachael squirted the gel on top of Misty's stomach, she winced a little because of the coldness. And pretty soon, as the tall lady continued to rub the mouse around on Misty's abdomen, a black-ish/gray-ish image started to show on the screen. Misty smiled as she stared at the unborn child, but noticed there was something right next to it. Ash put Ashlee down for a minute, so he could stand up. He walked over next to Misty so he could get a better view.
"Doc...is that?" he started out wide-eyed.
"Yes! It seems there's another head right behind the other! Misty, I'd like to say that in 6 more months, you will be the proud mother of twins!" Dr. Rachael said excitedly.
A big smile covered Misty's face. Ash had bent down to give her a kiss on the cheek. Dr. Rachael congratulated them, just before they were about to go on home. Misty was happy, but when it all hit her, she began to worry that taking care of twins would be a big responsibility. She was thinking about twice the clothes, twice the crying, twice the feeding, and twice the diaper changing. Of course it was easy taking care of Ashlee, but now they'll end up having three children to take care of now. Ash wasn't as worried as Misty was. In fact, he wasn't worried at all. He actually liked the idea of having three children to take care of. Misty knew that as long as her and Ash are together, she has nothing to worry about. That's what he told her. And that night, Misty was getting Ashlee ready for bed.
"When's the babies coming, mommy?" she asked.
"In about 6 more months sweetie!" Misty replied as she gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead.
She turned off the light, and closed the door behind her, just before going back downstairs. She decided to sit right next to Ash on the couch.
"Gee, I sure hope these six months end soon. Ashlee's really getting excited about the babies, and she doesn't even know what we're having yet!" she said.
"Hey, speaking of what we're having, I was just wondering. What are you hoping for Mist?" asked Ash.
"Come to think of it, it doesn't really matter. I mean as long as our babies are born healthy, that's all that matters to me right now." Misty replied.
Ash looked at her.
"So let me get this straight. You don't want any particular gender?" he asked.
"That's right!"
"Oh. Alright...So when do we start baby shopping?"
"What? Oh Ash, please. I'm only three months pregnant. You know full well that it's waaaay too early to go baby shopping.
Let's try when I'm atleast five to six months pregnant."
"Fine."
Okay, this chapter's complete, finally. Also, sorry it took me so long to finish this chapter. I had some thinking to do before I started it, so I wouldn't screw it up. Hope it came out okay to you guys!
