The next day, Misty woke up queasy. "I don't feel so good." she said.
Ash took her in his arms. "We're going to the doctor. I want to make sure you're ok." he said.
At the Pallet Town hospital, the doctor looked over Misty. "Ash, your girlfriend is pregnant." he said.
Misty burst into tears. "What's wrong, Misty?" Ash asked.
Misty sobbed. "I'm happy to be pregnant, but I'm not sure who my child's father is!" she cried.
Ash furrowed his brow. "What do you mean? I was your first sexual partner, wasn't I?" he asked.
Misty shook her head. "No, Ash. I had one other sexual partner before you." she said.
Ash was stunned. "Who was it?" he asked.
Misty looked at him, tears in her eyes. "It was Brock. I had sex with him about a month before you came back." she said.
Ash hugged her close. "We'll get through this. We always have." he said.
Nine months later, Misty was in the delivery room, screaming in pain. At last, a child's cry filled the air. "Let me see my child." she said.
Misty was shocked when she saw her baby. "I don't believe it. This child looks like you, Ash. Do you know what this means?" she said.
Ash beamed. "It means I have a child!" he cried.
