Sorry for not updating!life got in the way haha! Enjoy this chapter!
We wasted no time in getting to the pokemon center. Nurse joy looked a little stunned to see us at four in the morning, and if the situation wasn't so urgent, I would have laughed. Mew explained why we where here, but she talked so fast I could hardly understand a word she said. I struggled to keep up, but found myself only getting snippets of words. I vaguely wondered how I had gone from all powerful to a love-struck fool who runs to pokemon centers for Reassurance. Shaking my head, I followed nurse joy into the small white room. The nurse set down a long, plastic sheet over the chair in the middle of the room, and had mew sit down. I stood lightly beside her, watching every movement the nurse made, sometimes anticipating them. Finally she dragged a screen and chair next to us, and rubbed the strange Gel like substance on mews belly,much as she had done during her first pregnancy. She looked as If she expected the worse as she ran the strange device over mews belly, staring at the screen. All I could see was black and gray. Nurse joys face lit up like a child's on Christmas morning when three little white specks showed up on the screen.
I was utterly confused, and one peak at mew showed she was too. She squinted at the screen, then shook her head.
"What? What is it?"
Nurse joy beamed, and turned the screen so it was more obvious what we where looking at. On the screen where three tiny little things, that almost resembled jelly beans. But what gave them was where the long (for they're current size, anyway) tails with bulbed ends, and little ears poking out of the tops of they're heads. I gaped, and mew stared as if she couldn't look away.
"Is...that..."
Mew trailed off,not needing to finish the sentence.
"Yup! Congratulations! It's triplets!"
I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared intently at the little things. How could I respond to that?
"Oh...wow..."
The tone in witch mew spoke gave her away- at least to me. She was happy. also scared at what this could mean.
Time passed almost as fast as a train. By her fifth Month,mew was huge. We went to the center for what felt like the millionth time, but this time it was a trip we where happy and exited about. We would soon find out the genders of the babies. As we walked into the pokemon center, several trainers gaped at both me and mew. One of them stood up, and walked in front of both of us.
"Why are you so...you know."
He asked, looking directly at mews enlarged belly the entire time.
"Because I'm expecting."
Mew said bluntly, giving the trained an annoyed glare. The boy looked taken aback at having been addressed by a pokemon, but stepped aside and me and mew continued into the other room. Nurse joy greeted us, then we set down together. Within minutes, nurse joy was using the same strange device to see the babies. She had a worried look.
"What? What's wrong?"
Mew replied, confused. Nurse joy spoke slowly,and continued to look at he screen as if expecting it to come alive.
"Baby C.. The uh..the one on top.. It's not as big as it should be..not nearly as big..."
Me and mew exchanged worried glances, and watched as nurse joy took out a device that looked strangely like headphones, and put them over mews belly. Two steady 'thump thumps' could be heard clearly through an unseen speaker. Nurse joy looked pale.
"What's that?"
I asked, curious.
"Heartbeats."
Nurse joy answered, looking ashen. Wait. Heartbeats? But there was only...two..
"Why's there only two then?"
Mew piped in,oblivious.
"Baby C has no heartbeat, mew.."
I whispered. I took a deep breath to calm myself. There where still two. These things happen. Mew didint speak, but only nodded. She didint show Any emotion, and tried to be happy about finding out the genders of the other two.
"Well...lets...worry about this later okay? Lets find out what the other two will be!"
Nurse joy nodded, and began running the device over mews belly again.
"Looks like...a boy!"
She exclaimed,hiding her feelings with years of dealing with grief In her line of work. I smiled widely, forgetting the loss for the moment. Mew beamed as well. Nurse joy began looking again,and within a few minutes, located the other baby.
"And another boy!"
She exclaimed, making both me and mew smile widely.
When we returned home from towns several weeks later,we where surprised to find several trainers at our door. Meany with wrapped gifts and such.
"What's the meaning of this?"
I asked, curious as to why so meany people where at our home. A girl I recognized as misty came forward with a smile on her face.
"Well I knew you two would never throw one yourselves, so I got some people togther and threw you both a baby shower!"
Mews face lit up, and she hugged misty as best she could with her arms much shorter then her belly. When we went in, our home was decorated in blue and yellow balloons and streamers. I smiled as mew beamed, our pervious problem forgotten.
As time went on, misty eventually stated it was time to open gifts. Meany I had to help with, for mew was unable to reach them. The first one had blue wrapping paper, and inside where two light blue blankets. Mew smiled and thanked the couple that had given them to us, and opened the next two. The biggest boxes. They where two white and blue cribs, both adorned with beautiful designs. The next one was in a bag, and from nurse joy, who had just arrived. When we opened it, it was two ultra-sound pictures. One of each baby, and both where framed in brown oak frames, and inscribed on the bottom of each was,
"The best thing a mother gives-life."
Mew almost cried as she read this, and hugged joy.
We had made the choice for a C-section in favor of a natural birth, considering one of the boys would be breech. When the day came for mew to go into surgery, she seemed care free while I was over stressed. What If something went wrong? What if something didn't do right? What if everything gose okay but something bad happens anyway?! Someone had me put on a strange outfit, then I was allowed to follow mew into the surgery room.
