A/N: Please don't hurt me...I'm only saying this because I know readers will get cranky if they don't get a new chapter right away...so anywho, here's chapter 10. And by the looks of the title, I think it's obvious Misty's gonna to go into labor. So enjoy it!

Misty has officially reached her 9th month, and the babies are due any day now. Misty keeps getting nervous and more nervous as each day passes, but she tries to tell herself that everything will be alright as long as Ash is there. But right now, Ash isn't thinking all that positive. It seems like everytime Misty grunts, sighs, or is even about to say something, he thinks she's going into labor. And since Misty didn't want Ashlee to be scared if anything happened, she let her stay at her sisters' place for the weekend.

Misty finally decided to take a break after washing the dishes. She walked upstairs and was about to go to the bathroom again, but stopped on the steps when she realized Ash was behind her.

"Ash..." she sighed. "Would you please quit following me around? It's beginning to get very annoying."

"I can't help it Mist. I'm not going to stop until you take a break. You've been working non-stop."

"Honey, all I did today was wash a few dishes and try to organize and clean around the house. Do you really call that working non-stop?"

"Yes. For a nine month pregnant woman I do," he said.

Misty sighed again.

"Ash, I'm fine. I'm just as nervous as you are knowing these babies could come any day now. But you really have to relax, and give me some space."

"I'll try..." Ash said.

"Thank you. Now if you will excuse me, can I please go to the bathroom? It feels like the twins are using 'focus punch' on my bladder."

Ash let her go to the bathroom and walked back down the stairs.

"Come on Ketchum, pull yourself together! It's not like Misty's going to go into labor anytime soon, right? I sure hope not." he thought.

After Misty was done with the bathroom, she came back downstairs and saw Ash walking around in circles. Misty just shook her head in annoyance when she saw Ash couldn't keep still.

"You're constantly telling me to take a break, but why don't you try it for once?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

"I can't help it Misty! I'm frustrated! I'm not even the pregnant one and I just want the babies to come out already!" he yelled.

"Just stop it Ash! You're beginning to scare me. You feeling all nervous is making me feel even more nervous. Like it already wasn't enough pressure..."

"Sorry Mist, I'm just a little worried, that's all."

"It's alright Ash. But maybe you should sit down. Come on, I'll even sit down with you." Misty said as she guided him to the couch.

Ash helped Misty sit down first and then he sat down.

"Ow!" she said as she gripped her stomach with one hand.

"Oh no, is it time! You haven't gone into labor yet, have you!" Ash asked in a panicky voice.

"Ash relax! One of the babies just kicked kind of hard, that's all!"

"Oh. Well thank god..."

"Ash, please stop worrying so much! I'm begging you!" she pleaded.

Ash turned his head and sighed again.

"I don't even understand. Why are you so worried about the fact that I could be going into labor?" she asked and he turned to look at her.

"Because Misty, last time it happened, I wasn't really by your side right away. I mean, I ask you if you're alright. You say you're fine. I leave to go to the bathroom for a minute, and I come back to see your water broke! (A/N: mentioned in very first chapter!) You're lucky I had everything packed and we were just able to drive off to the hospital. Wh-what if I didn't have anything packed, and we didn't make it in time! What if you probably would've ended up giving birth in an entire different place?...What if I wasn't there?"

Misty moved closer to him.

"Aw honey, I'm sorry. Now I see why you're so obsessed with this thing now. But, you don't really have to worry. You were there, and we did make it in time. And I did give birth in the hospital; not in the car, not on the road, not here in the house. And all those reasons are because of you. You were with me through all that. Please don't think about the negatives anymore. And if something is wrong, or seems like it might be wrong, I'll tell you. I promise I will."

"That does make me feel better Mist. I'll try not to worry as much," Ash said with a smile and then reached to put a hand on Misty's stomach. When he did, he felt the twins give a light kick which made him smile even more.

"I don't think the babies want you to worry either," she said. "But I'm sure when they're ready, they'll come."

Ash nodded and kissed Misty.

That night, Ash and Misty got ready for bed. Misty came from the bathroom for the fourth time, and got right under the covers.

She made a small grunt and turned over.

"What's wrong Mist?" Ash asked.

"Nothing...just a little tired." she replied.

"You better not be lying to me! You said if there was anything wrong, you would tell me."

"I know what I said. And I just said I was only a little tired. There is nothing wrong."

"Alright, fine. But I told you that I was going to be completely calm about this. So if you feel any pain-"

He was cut off by hearing Misty moaning and groaning.

"Hey, what's wrong now? Don't let your tiredness get to you by making all that noise."

"Ash...I-I think I'm going i-into labor..." she said slowly raising a hand to her stomach.

Ash jumped out of bed with the quickness.

"WHAT!" he yelled.

Misty started laughing.

"Oh relax Ash! I was just joking! I only wanted to see how you would react! I really wish I had a camera!" she chuckled.

"I really wish I had a piece of tape to put over that lying ass mouth of yours..." he murmered.

"Hey, watch your mouth! I was just having a little fun, and...owwww..." Misty suddenly moaned and gripped her stomach again.

"O-okay...I think the babies are coming now..." she grunted as she began to feel pain. Ash folded his arms as he wasn't buying any of this.

"Oh no you don't! I am not falling for that again! You must think I'm stupid!" he said.

"Ugh, no Ash! I'm not j-joking, I'm feeling real pain..." she said as she sat up.

When Misty turned to look at Ash, he had gotten back into bed and under the covers.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! GET UP!" she yelled. "Oh God...I think I'm having contractions..."

"Still not falling for it Mist. If you really think I'm this stupid, you can think again." he said.

Misty gave him a look as if to say, 'you are pretty stupid if you don't get up out this damn bed...'

"Owwwww! Ash! You better get up or I'll make you!" she yelled.

Just then, the two of them both feel something wet underneath them. Ash jumps up again, only this time with an angry look.

"Oh, MISTY! It was bad enough to pull a trick on me to get me all worried! But now you pee the bed!" he snapped.

"A-Ash, it wasn't-"

"You ask'n me what's wrong with me, but what's wrong with you!"

"YOU IDIOT! I didn't pee the bed! My...water broke."

Ash's eyes widened.

"So...you really are going into labor?" he asked, dumb-foundedly.

"Yes, I am! So can you please get the bags and help me into the-"

And then she was cut off by Ash fainting onto the floor.

"ASH! YOU GET THE HELL UP AND HELP ME NOW!" she yelled.

Misty tried to stand up on her own but a strong contraction made her fall to her knees.

"ASH!" she screamed again.

Eventually Ash woke up thinking everything was a dream, until he saw Misty on her knees and in pain. Then he jumped up and tried to help Misty the best he could.

"Okay Ash, stay calm, you can do this, your the man..." he told himself. "Okay I just have to breathe in, and breath out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in-"

"Damn it Ash, you're supposed to be helping me! Not yourself! OWWW!" Misty yelled.

Ash hurried to grab the bags, make it downstairs and into the car. While on the road, Ash was still trying to stay calm.

"I'm about to CHOKE you Ketchum if you don't SPEED IT UP!" Misty threatened.

"I'm trying Misty! I'm trying to make it through here before traffic starts!"

"WELL YOU'RE NOT DRIVING FAST ENOUGH!"

This scared Ash even more, so he did speed up. He also had the urge to stick his head out the window and yell at the other drivers, 'Everybody out the way! Move it! My wife's in labor!'

"Oh-oh god! These contractions feel like they're coming closer and closer! Ash, hurry!" she shouted.

They finally arrived at the hospital, and Ash helped Misty out of the car and inside the building. She was rushed into the delivery-room, not even realizing she blacked out for a few mintues. When she opened her eyes, Ash was standing next to her holding her hand, while a doctor was checking her.

"Wow, you're already 5 centimeters dialted Ms. Ketchum, not bad at all." they said.

"Yep, you've got just 5 more to go Misty," said Dr. Rachael.

Misty smiled, but not long as another bad contraction started on her. That sure added some pressure on Ash's hand as well.

"Just keep breathing Misty. Before you know it, you'll be able to push soon."

Suddenly, Misty had just wondered if she should've scheduled for a c-section instead.
