Me: Ok, this is probably the second to last chapter. It's making me sad, thinking this may be over soon.

Kim: You are doing a sequel though.

Me: Yup, I sure am! So welcome to this chapter.

Chapter28

May had fallen asleep; Ash laid Sapphire in a cot provided and went out. Everyone looked at him.

More people had arrived, Misty and Tracey with their twins, Ellie and Tommy. Ellie had Misty's green eyes and Tracey's hair whilst Tommy had Tracey's blue eyes and Misty's hair but in a similar style to his dad's. Both were wearing yellow and green. Brock and his pregnant fiancée Lucy (Y'know, the frontier brain.) had also arrived.

"So, how are they?" Brock asked.

"They're both fine. May's fallen asleep and Sapphire's in a cot." Ash smiled.

"Is that her name? Sapphire?" Ruby asked. Ash nodded, picking his daughter up. "Cool."

"C'mon, let's go and see her." Ash smiled. He took Ruby in and sat her on the chair he was in earlier. He picked up the bundle containing the tiny baby and showed her to Ruby.

"She's cute." Ruby smiled. Sapphire looked around, not moving very much since she was a little weak as she was early. Ruby stroked the scars on her own cheeks and then Sapphire's. "She has the scars too, all 3 of us do." Ash smiled at her, stoking Sapphire's and Ruby's scars gently.

"Yeah, we all do. Now c'mon, I'll see if I can wake your mother up." Ash walked to May and shook her lightly. "May, May? Wake up, Ruby wants to see you."

May opened her eyes slowly, smiling at her husband.

"Hey Ashy." She smiled; she leaned up and kissed him softly before looking at Ruby. "Hello dear."

"Hi mommy, you 'k?" Ruby asked. Ash handed Sapphire to May.

"Yeah, I'm just fine Ru'." May smiled at her. A doctor walked in.

"Well, since the baby was so early we will keep them here for a couple of days for observation, to check nothing happens. So it may be advised that someone brings May some nightclothes." The doctor said.

"I'll go. May, I'll be back in a minute." Ash said. May nodded and Ash walked out. Ruby jumped onto May's bed, the doctor left and Dawn, Gary and Pearl came in. Pearl joined Ruby on the bed and looked at the small baby.

"Aww! Cutie!" Pearl giggled. Dawn walked over and smiled at her older friend.

"You ok pal?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Ash just went to get my night clothes 'cause I have to stay here for observation with Sapphire." May replied.

"I feel sorry for you, I hate hospitals."

"You're not alone there." May sighed.

A couple of days later May and Sapphire were allowed home. The four sat in the car, Sapphire in May's arms. After a few minutes they arrived home, May went inside and fed Sapphire.

"May, I'm gonna take Ruby to the park. See ya in a bit." Ash said. May kissed him.

"Ok Ashy, see you later." She smiled. Ash kissed her and left with Ruby. May went and sat on the sofa, Sapphire sleeping in her arms; she turned on the TV and started to watch a grand festival. She sighed.

"Ash had all 4 parts of the masters' badge and I haven't had a chance at my contest to become an elite co-ordinator." May sighed. She looked down at the baby in her arms. "Our second little bundle makes up for all that I suppose." She kissed the baby's forehead.

Ash and Ruby sat by the river that Ruby had fallen into 6months ago. Ruby was starting into the water, hoping to catch a glimpse of that dark blue creature from last time.

"What are you looking at Ruby?" Ash asked his daughter.

"Nothing, just the water." Ruby replied. Ash just nodded.

"Are you still scared of this river?"

"Not so much." Suddenly the dark blue shape swam past. Ruby gasped, but it was gone as quickly as it had come.

"What?" Ash said. Ruby shook her head.

"Nothin'. Let's go home pwease daddy." Ruby said, Ash nodded, taking her hand and walking back towards the house.

When they arrived May was asleep on the sofa. Ash gestured to be quiet and they walked through to the kitchen. Ruby sat on her special chair and Ash handed her a packet of sweets.

"Just don't tell your mommy I gave you those." He whispered. Ruby giggled slightly. Ash grabbed himself a packet of crisps and sat down. He handed her the cap from the table and smiled.

"Thank you." Ruby smiled. Ash ate his crisps.

In the living room May was stirring, she yawned, picking up Sapphire and walking into the kitchen, she smiled when she saw Ash and Ruby.

"Hey you two." She smiled.

"Hi mommy!" Ruby greeted. "Hi sissy!"

"Hello Ruby." May giggled. Ash got up and put his arms around his wife.

"Hi Mayday." He smiled.

"Hello Ashy." Ash kissed her. May kissed back, not able to mover her arms though. After a moment he pulled back, kissing her cheek. "Mind taking Sapphire for a bit? I need to make lunch."

"Ok May." Ash smiled, taking the small baby into his arms. May went to the cupboards and fridge, taking out the ingredients for a bolognaise. Ash sat down again and messed with some of the few curly hairs on Sapphire's head. Ruby popped a sweet into her mouth and chewed.

"And Ruby, where did you get those sweets from?" May asked, not even turning around. Ash laughed nervously.

"Me. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." He said. May giggled and continued cooking.

"Well, you better not expect the bigger portion tonight, Ash, Ruby will be getting the most food."

"What!? But she's the one eating the sweets!" Ash groaned. The two girls giggled.

"It's your punishment for giving her them. Now drop it." May giggled. Ash sighed.
