Hello, here is chapter 11 of my story. Last time Iris mentioned the babies were due very very soon, so what will happen in today's chapter? I'll leave you to find out :P I hope you enjoy x3

Disclaimer: I don't own the pokemon dudes in this chapter but I own Ben and Katie :3


"Now are you sure you're okay with me going? If you're unsure I can tell them you need me, it's completely up to you."

This was becoming a familiar scene between the green haired connoisseur and his girlfriend. Cilan had to go to a Connoisseur Graduation party held in Castelia City and was unsure about leaving Iris as she was due to give birth in three short days.

"Cilan I will be fine… " the pregnant female rolled her soil coloured orbs at her boyfriend and rubbed her belly as one of the triplets began to kick. "The only movement I've been getting is kicking so the baby is not going to pop out while you're gone…" she gave him unamused eyes as she looked behind him and at their friends. "I'm spending the day with Ash and Misty so even if I do go into labour, I'm not alone. "

This statement panicked Cilan even more and he began chewing his bottom lip even harder. His nightmare would be her going into labour without him. For one, he never wanted to miss the birth of their triplets and two; he would never wish a cranky and in excruciating pain Iris on anybody.

Ash came up behind the green haired male and patted him on the back reassuringly.

"Cilan there's absolutely no reason to worry. Misty and I will be here all day and even if Misty has to go and battle a challenger, I'll still be here."

The worrying male let out his trademark groan and looked at his younger friend with sideways, unsure eyes.

"That's what I'm worried about. Look what happened last time…"

At this, the tanned male's cheeks went slightly pink and he hopped from one foot to the other in a flustered and embarrassed way.

"I thought we promised to never mention that ever again…?" his cheeks blew up cutely and he did his trademark pout. At this, his red headed girlfriend laughed fondly and handed him their baby daughter who was reaching out to her father.

"Aw Cilan's only joking honey…" she paused and turned to the green haired male. "Now there's absolutely no need to worry. I'm here and I'll know exactly what to do if she does go into labour, not that she will."

Iris stopped rubbing her belly now that the kicks had settled down and rubbed her boyfriend's neck comfortingly instead.

"Which of course I'm not because you know me, I'm never early for anything so why would the babies be?"

At this Cilan chuckled fondly at his girlfriend and pressed a quick kiss to her cheek as he pulled on his jacket.

"Heh I guess you're right…" he sighed as he pulled on his black smart and shiny shoes. "Although I wish I had an excuse to get out of this. It's Burgundy's graduation because she's finally a full rank connoisseur like me and the head of the association wants me to be there because I've been there since the beginning…"

He groaned slightly as he opened the door to the Ketchum house and stepped out onto the sunny driveway, smiling at everyone. "Well I'd better get going. Ash and Misty, thank you for keeping an eye on Iris. Iris, try not to give birth…"

At this, everyone laughed out loud. The comment was meant to be serious but even Cilan couldn't help but chuckle. After a final farewell, the door shut and Cilan was on his way.

A couple of hours later, after the Ketchum family and Iris had shared a pleasant lunch together, the group were now sat in front of the TV, watching a show that covered the pokemon master of the family defeating the Black Tower.

Ash and Misty were sat on a double person sofa in one corner of the room, with their baby daughter, Katie, who looked identical to her mother. Iris was sat in an arm chair in the opposite corner of the room with Ben, twin brother to Katie.

The one and a half year old toddler bounced up and down excitedly on the dark skinned female's lap as the camera zoomed in his father's face on the screen. Iris smiled down fondly at the little boy and hugged him tighter.

"Do you like seeing daddy battle, cutie?"

At this, the brown orbed baby made little babbling sounds and reached up and touched Iris' hair. This simple action made Iris' heart grew tight and her eyes slightly filled with tears. She couldn't wait to feel that experience that with her and Cilan's own babies.

The happy feeling was interrupted by a small cramping in Iris' stomach. Her large bump became clenched and Ben noticed this because he shuffled forward on her lap.

The purple haired woman tried to shake it off but as the minutes went on, she began to sweat and the pain spread over her whole abdomen. Misty looked up from a secret little kiss session with Ash to see Iris shuffling about on the sofa uncomfortably.

"Hey Iris, are you okay over there?"

At this, the pregnant female looked up with wide eyes before putting on a fake reassuring smile.

"Yeah, sure, I'm fine… The babies are just kicking about a hell of a lot…"

At this, Misty caught Ash's eyes that were looking at her weirdly before shrugging and going back to the TV. Along with Iris' extremely bad cramps, something else happened. It was in the middle of when she was shuffling with the pain that a very unpleasant smell filled her nose.

"Um Misty…?" Iris wrinkled her nose and held out Benjamin to her. "I think someone needs a nappy change…"

The red head was about to accept the baby from her friend when Iris suddenly doubled over in pain, still holding onto Ben.

"Iris are you sure you're okay?" Ash chipped in as he too smelt a smell but this one was coming from his baby girl. "Man I thought they'd gotten through their synchronized pooping…"

The now in excruciating pain female took Katie from Ash and handed her to Misty who was holding Ben, ready to take him upstairs for a nappy change.

"Just dandy…" she winced before sitting down. Suddenly she shrieked up leapt up, sitting on something wet. "Ew what in the name of Arceus…?"

Ash frowned before catching sight of the liquid. It just looked like water had spilled on the couch but there was some red stuff mixed in with it. It was blood.

"Oh my…" his eyes grew wide and he tried to turn to Misty but she was already upstairs changing his children's nappies.

Suddenly Iris too realized what it was and she doubled over in pain, her face red with the agony and also embarrassment.

"My waters have broken… Does this mean…?" she held onto her bump as yet another contraction jolted through her body.

"I-I-I think so…" stuttered Ash, his chocolate orbs wide before holding onto Iris' hand to help her with the pain. "What do I do…?"

As Iris gripped onto her friends hand and inwardly shrieked in pain, only one word escaped her lips.

"C-Cilan…"

Iris muttered her boyfriend's name but it was loud enough for Ash to hear. The raven haired man leapt across the room and snatched the phone from the coffee table. As fast as his fingers would go, he dialled the connoisseur's number.

"Hello?" Ash panted into the phone as Cilan picked up. "Cilan, the babies are on their way…"


So the babies are on their way :'O How will Cilan react? How will Iris cope? Will the babies be delivered safely? Stay tuned to find out xP Thanks a lot for reading and I'll see you guys tomorrow xD
