Hello, here is chapter 8 of my story. How will Cilan and Iris and of course Ash and Misty react to them having triplets? Read to find out :P Enjoy xD
Disclaimer: No I don't own any characters in this chapter, well, except the unborn triplets xP
"It's triplets!"
At these two simple words, Iris dropped her boyfriend's hand with shock and the green haired connoisseur almost tripped over but managed to recover at the last second.
"T-Triplets…?" the expectant's mother's eyes grew wide as she looked at all three babies on the monitor. "As in three babies…?"
Cilan sweat dropped at her and rubbed her shoulder fondly.
"That's what triplets are sweetheart, three babies…"
Iris rolled her wide soil coloured orbs at her boyfriend. Of course she knew what triplets were, Cilan was one for crying out loud! But how was she to cope with three babies at once?
"You're all okay to go home now but you can stay here to talk this through if you'd like. You have my phone number, right? If you have any questions, feel free to phone me!" Doctor Forster smiled one last time at the young couple before exiting the room, still holding his clipboard.
Iris smiled back before turning to Cilan, her hand resting on her rather large bump.
"Well I did think I was bigger than normal…. But three babies? I don't know…"
Cilan sat next to her on the hospital bed and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. He was delighted at the news of triplets but he would have a hard time convincing his girlfriend.
"I know it will be a challenge, having three babies at once. But didn't I tell you we'd get through all this together and I'll work hard to do the best for our baby…? I mean babIES…" he blushed slightly and chuckled, resting his own hand on her bump.
"I know you did… I'm barely ready for one let alone three…" she tried to groan but Cilan had bent down and was kissing and whispering sweet words to their babies. She had to pull through for him.
"I'll be here to help you and we'll have Chili and Cress over the road. Misty and Ash are staying in Unova for quite a few years while Ash is battling in the Pokemon World Tournament. May is here with Tracey while he does pokemon watching and of course you have Shannon and Elder and everyone back in the Village Of Dragons. We'll all be here to help you." He finished, pressing one last kiss to her bump before locking his lips to hers for a quick second.
"I know I'll pull through but its new news right now and pretty scary…" she nibbled her lip anxiously before patting her bump fondly. "I can't wait to meet you three though. Hey, I wonder if they'll get along just like you and your brothers do?"
Cilan smiled down at her bump and wrapped his arm around Iris' waist. He loved watching her bump grow and seeing their babies develop while still hidden away but he couldn't wait to see them personally and get to know each of their individual characteristics.
"Of course they will. And I'm sure they'll get along with Ben and Katie to. There will be less than two years between them."
At the mention of these names, Iris leapt up from the bed, her eyes wide.
"Oh my god! Ash and Misty!" she practically sprinted towards the door before turning towards Cilan who was looking very alarmed. "Ash was so worried and guilty! We have to tell him everything's okay…"
Cilan took hold of his pregnant girlfriend's shoulders before moving her away from the door. Iris looked at him confusedly and tried to push him away but he insisted.
"I have an idea… Leave this to me…"
Slowly, the green haired connoisseur opened the door and looked around. He scanned the waiting room a couple of times before spotting the flaming red locks belonging to Misty and quietly walked over to them.
Ash was sat on the chair, far away from his girlfriend, his head in his hands. Misty spotted Cilan coming towards them and smiled but didn't let Ash now he was there.
"Ash…?" Cilan called his good friend's name quietly; his eyebrows quirked up with guilt, noticing the sorrowful look on the raven haired young man's face. "Don't look so sad, buddy…"
The messy haired male looked up at the connoisseur slowly, his eyes wide with sadness and his bottom lip stuck slightly out.
"How can I not be sad…?" he gulped before almost choking. "I k-killed your baby…"
Cilan sighed and sat beside his younger friend, rubbing the back of his neck forgivingly.
"No you didn't…" the green haired male looked up to see Iris was standing some distance away, her hand still protectively on her belly. "Iris, come here…"
Ash gulped nervously and looked away as Iris came towards him. He was still extremely guilty over the fact that it was his responsibility she got hit with one of his pokemon's attacks.
The purple haired female smiled at the red head and Cilan before talking hold of her boyfriend's hand. Ash's head was still down so Misty nudged him and pointed so he looked at the connoisseur.
Cilan gripped onto her hand and slowly put his hand on Iris' bump, still looking at the guilty raven haired young pokemon master.
"You know there's a baby in here, right Ash?"
Upon hearing this, the messy haired male let out a sharp breath of relief and reached forward to hold onto Misty's hand. He felt the heavy feeling in his stomach and on his shoulders disappear almost immediately.
"I didn't kill you baby?" he asked but he still couldn't manage eye contact.
"No, you didn't…" Cilan smiled gently at the man who now had an adorable goofy grin on his face. He felt he was treating Ash like a baby with his actions but he didn't mind; he felt that Ash needed treating delicately since the incident. "Well you know there's a baby in here?" he lightly stroked Iris' bump before moving his hand over to another spot and rubbing there. "Well there's another one in there…"
At this, Ash's chocolate orbs grew wide and he exchanged glances with his red headed girlfriend. The water type pokemon trainer, like her boyfriend, didn't know of the news of more than one baby.
"You mean twins…?" gasped Ash, squeezing Misty's hand tight.
The pokemon master's face grew confused when Cilan shook his head.
"No, it isn't twins…" he smiled brightly at his dark skinned girlfriend before moving his hand to the middle spot of her bump. "Because there's another one…"
Ash densely counted on his fingers how many babies Cilan had told him of while Misty shoved him and laughed out loud, her eyes sparkling with happiness for the couple.
"Oh Ash, its triplets!" the red head stood up and threw her arms around Iris' neck excitedly.
Ash sat there, dumfounded, for quite a few seconds before standing up and bro hugging Cilan which made the connoisseur go a bit pink.
"Triplets?! Oh that's so exciting! They must run in your family then, Cilibo?"
The green haired male winced slightly at his nickname before grinning at his younger good friend.
"Yeah they must do… Anyway, Ash, I have something to ask you…" he smiled brightly, looking into his eyes while Ash nodded for him to go ahead. "We want you to be one of the godfathers to one of our babies…"
At this, Ash sat back down with the shock while Misty patted him on the back excitedly.
"Ash that's great!" she grinned at her bewildered boyfriend before turning to Iris, a pout on her pretty face. "Hey, what about me…?"
Iris pretended to gasp and put her hands to her face.
"Oh no, I totally forgot about you…" she apologised to the red head before holding her finger up and winking at her best friend. "I'm just kidding; of course you're one of the god mothers."
While the two females hugged and talked pregnancy stuff, Ash twiddled his fingers, looking at Cilan.
"Me, god father? Are you sure…?" he frowned when Cilan nodded sincerely and turned towards Iris who was still hugging the messy haired male's girlfriend. "Iris, are you sure you want me?"
Iris glanced at Misty and her boyfriend before looking back at Ash who was nibbling his bottom lip unsurely.
"You may be a little kid… But I'm sure you'll do great for my kids… So yeah, I'm sure…" she gave Ash a small smile before turning back to Misty. She called him a little kid more times than the two of them could count but deep down, he was one of her best friends.
Ash blushed when Iris went back to his girlfriend before turning to the connoisseur, holding his hand out for his older friend to shake.
"Well if you want me then I'm very happy to do it… Thanks so much Cilan…" his tanned cheeks went a little pink as he grinned at Cilan sheepishly.
"No, thank you…" the green haired male shook his friends hand back before looking into his eyes. "If you hadn't asked for a battle then we wouldn't have found out about the triplets until she gave birth to them so I appreciate you giving me a lot more notice…"
His eyes went arrow shapes as he rubbed his temple sheepishly, Iris rolling her eyes at him from behind. Ash grinned fondly and ran a hand through his messy haired locks.
"And to thank you for thanking me, how about you come round ours tomorrow for a little get together in honour of the triplets? I'll get loads of food and invite a load of friends…" he did a peace sign at the connoisseur as the green haired male slowly nodded his head.
"Yeah that would be nice…" he smiled shyly at his friend before turning his head back to Iris. "Are you up for a little party for the triplets tomorrow?"
"Yeah," added Ash. "Are you up for a little party for the triplets for Cilan for thanking me for thanking him?" he grinned at the two females who both muttered "what a little kid" at each other.
"Yeah don't worry…" grinned Iris after nudging Misty and winking at Ash. "I'll be there!"
