Three months had already past and Jessie's pregnancy began to show
through somewhat.
James walked nervously down the dimmly lit hallway to his and Jessie's
room,he had just come from Giovanni's office who was not in a very pleasn't mood.
"Jessie,we need to gather our things."James said swiftly as he entered the door.
"Why James?"Jessie puzzledly asked.
"Something wrong?"Meowth asked.
Sitting on a nearby window ledge,he too was puzzled by James' sudden worried attitude.
"I didn't think my weight was showing that bad. ."She remarked.
"No,no Jessie its not that,although I your stomach is inched some."James added.
"WHAT!!!"Jessie yelled,waking him up side his head.
"Sorry Jessie..."James mumbled,holding his now throbbing head.
"Never talk about a womans weight James,didn't your mudder ever teach you manners."
Meowth added walking towards him.
James slumped even lower than when Jessie hit him."Please Meowth don't remind me."
"Eh?"Meowth thought."Um,hee-hee..Sorry James I forgot,bad memories."
"The name Jessibelle will forever be a curse name to me."James pledge.
Meowth giggled to hiself. James growled,but then noticed Jessie by the window. "Jessie?"
She turned and looked at him.
"He know's,doesn't he James?"Jessie asked.
"I'm not sure,but the Boss stares at me every time he see's me."James said.
"I think he senses something,thats why were no longer safe here Jessie."
James rested his eyes on Jessie's inched stomach,he laid his hands
on her stomach and smiled.
"Its a while yet."Jessie told him.
"I know."He said to her.
"But its best we leave now,because your weight will increase and we can't risk Giovanni
finding out."James added.
"How much money do we have,for the time we've saved."Jessie asked.
"Enough to get by."James told her."About $10,000.00"
"WHOA!"Meowth remarked."How'd you get that much James?"
"I took some from Giovanni."James admitted.
"YOU DID WHAT!"Meowth ranted.
JAMES! ARE YOU MAD!"Jessie scolded.
"We deserve it more than he does."James added,stroking her cheek.
"This will help us get by Jessie,and get the necesities and things for our baby."James grinned.
Jessie kissed him.
"Now lets hurry and get our things,we must leave tonight."James told them.
Jessie went and gathered her belongings,and James and Meowth did the same
with their's.
Unknowing that they were being watched by a pair of red slit eyes.
That belonged to a big cat,the evolved form of a Meowth.It favored
three whiskers on each cheek,and had a nose,unlike a Meowth, it carried
a round red charm on its fore head."Grrrrrrr." The feline growled.As it scuried
back to its master.
Giovanni sat behind his desk in his expensive black leather chair.
"Reeooow."The feline Poke'mon wailed as it entered the office.
"What is it my pet."Giovanni asked his Persian who tried to tell his master about
Jessie,James,and Meowth.
"I have no time for this precious,why don't you go and mangle other Poke'mon."Giovanni said,
his Persian hissed and slowly crept out the door.
The sun began to hide itself once again,as the moon rose to its position in the dark blue
sky,but the stars remained hid,it was a clear night,and there was a full moon.
As James loaded their things in their jeep.
"What about dis?"Meowth asked holding up the deflated part of their air balloon it was
shaped like Meowth's head and featured his face on it."And the basket?"
"Bring them,we'll keep them."James told the cat.
"Yeah,cause it has sentamintel value."Meowth added rubbing on James' leg like a little kitten.
"Okay,Meowth."James told the cat.
Meowth still continued rubbing on him.
"Meowth,your shedding all over my pants."
"Oops,sorry."Meowth sulked.
"Its okay."James said stooping down to give Meowth
a friendly scratch behind the ears.
"Jessie,come on!"James hollared for his wife.
"I'm coming James."She replied,approaching the jeep.
"Jessie,are you alright?"He asked.
She nodded."I'm fine,I just feel like a Jigglypuff."
James giggled.
"And I probably look like one too."
James continued to giggle.
"Well they are cute." He said walking over to her,and giving her
a light kiss on the cheek."But your beautiful"
Jessie smiled.
"I'm so scared now,James."Jessie said,tears filling her crystal blue eyes.
"I know Jessie,I am too."James told her,embracing her in a hug.
"I'm so scared,what would happen if they found us."Jessie cried.
"Because no one deserts Team Rocket and lives."
James dried her face."Jessie,no one has a relationship or a baby in
Team Rocket and lives either."He reminded her."You and Meowth wait
for me in the jeep."
Jessie nodded and her and Meowth sat in the jeep
while James loaded the rest of their things.
Jessie just gazed at James as fearful thoughts entered her head.What would
happen to them if they were caught.Jessie thought of the Team Rocket attacking
James and he could do nothing,and then herself,and poor defensless little Meowth
And then their baby.She looked at her buldged out stomach and vaugley smiled.
She continued to think until she heard the jeeps seat move.
"Huh."She muttered.
"Something wrong Jessie?"James asked.
"No,just thinking."She kissed him.
"Did you get everything?"Jessie asked.
"Yes Jessie."James replied,cranking up their jeep and began to drive.
Meowth watched as Team Rocket headquarters got smaller and smaller from his view
until it was no longer in sight.
"Hey you guy's."Meowth said.
"Yes."Jessie replied.
"Does this mean we're no longer villians?"Meowth asked.
"Thats right Meowth."Jessie told him.
"Y'mean your actualy gonna be honest."he added.
"Yes."She remarked."Why do you ask Meowth?"
"Just wondering."Meowth said,yawning,curling up in Jessie's lap. He purred
for a long time as Jessie and James would pet him from time to time,until he finally
fell asleep.
A few month's later at Team Rocket headquarters Giovanni had just stepped into
his office,he usually expected a full report from James,Jessie, and Meowth once
every three to four weeks.
He began wondering why he hadn't heard from them in a long while.He thought how
strange James was acting when he last seen him,he had a very nervous,protective attitude.
And he wondered why Jessie was never with him when he seen James.
He heard a noise as a Rocketeer entered the room.
"Did you find them?"Giovanni asked.
"No Sir."replied the Rocket."But I do have some information you'll like just as much."
As an evil grin swept Giovanni's face."Tell me my friend."
"Gotta catch'em all.Gotta catch'em all."James sung to hiself as he finished putting
the dishes away."Gotta catch'em all,Poke'mon."
"Ah!Oh!"Jessie yelled and moaned.When James heard her,the plate he was
about to put away fell out of his hand and onto floor,shattering it to little pieces.
James ran into their bedroom,where he saw Jessie holding her stomach,crying
a little.He rushed to his wife and wrapped his arms around her."Are you okay?"
Jessie nodded."It kicked."
James smiled upon hearing this.He kissed Jessie.
"Its not long now,is it Jessie."James said.
"About two months left...Thank God!" She replied.
James kissed Jessie again.
"James?"Jessie mumbled.
"What Jess?"James remarked.
"Do you still love me?"
James paused.
"WHAT THE!Of course I do Jessie."He told her."What gave you the idea that I didn't?"
Jessie answered."Nothing,Its just....I feel like yesterday's garbage
I ache all over,I'm fat and..."
"Shhh,no your not..."James interrupted placing his fingers over her lips.
"Your beautiful,and I love you."He told her as he kissed her,they were both drawn into the
kiss.As James leaned Jessie on the bed,and began kissing her immensly.
"No,James!"Jessie paused.
"Oh Jessie,baby,so soft,so beautiful."He coaxed her.
"Your not gonna butter me up."Jessie stated.
"What ever you say Jess." He remarked.
James sat up and gazed at Jessie as he rested his hands on her stomach,he could feel
the motions going on inside it.
"I can feel it."He said.
Jessie giggled at him.
"Silly James."Jessie giggled.
Wrapping her arms around her husbands neck and pulling him over her to kiss him.
"Tomorrow I am going to the bank tomorrow after I leave work."James told her.
"What for?"Jessie asked."To withdraw a little."He answered her.
"Why?"She asked him.
"We will need it to buy a few more necessities and to pay off doctor bills to." he added.
"James?"Jessie said.
"Yes?"James replied to her
"You love me,don't you?"She asked.
"Yes."He said.
"You'd do anything for me,wouldn't you?"Jessie asked him.
"Of course sweetheart."James told her,kissing her.
"Then you wouldn't mind running to the store and getting me a couple things,would you?"She
asked her husband,twisting the small blue strand of hair,that tend to dangle
in front of his face all the time.
"Jessieeeeee."James pleaded."Its dark out,can't it wait?"
"Please,James,please my handsome one."Jessie buttered.
James smiled and sighed."Alright,you win Jess,what is it you want?"
She smiled hugging him."Thank you,your so sweet."
"Just don't keep me out too late Jessie,I do have a job y'know." He teased.
"I know,would you get me some strawberry sherbert and those little Poke'mon crackers."
Jessie asked him.
James nodded."Yes." he said getting up from the bed and grabbing the jeep key's.
"Back in a flash."
"And would you bring me some tuna fish those little oyster crackers?"Meowth asked.
"No!"James plainly said.
"WHAT!"Meowth yelled."Why not?"
"Cause your not pregnant."James teased.
"But I'm a baby,see."Meowth said,crawling on all fours,playing with loose
threads on the bedspread.
"Meo-oow-oowth."The pokemon purred playfully like a little kitten.
James laughed uncontrolably at the sight of Meowth."Okay Meowth,you win,I was only
picking on you anyway."
"HUH?"Meowth said."You mean to tell me that I did all that for NOTHING!!!"
"Yes!"James said firmly realizing Meowth sounded ready to land a furry swipe.
"Okay."Meowth said, and curled up on the bed beside Jessie."Have a safe trip."
"Be back shortly."and with saying that James made his way to their jeep and left
for the store.
"He's a great guy,huh Jessie?"Meowth said."He sure is,he'd do anything for me."
Jessie said. "Your very lucky Jessie."Meowth told her.
"Yes,I know."Jessie said."I hate asking him to go get me things sometimes,I feel so helpless."
"Your not helpless,its just that your uhm,um....condition and you just can't do it."
Meowth tried to comfort.
"Well thanks for cheering me up." Jessie sighed.
"What I meant was,a woman has different emotions and weaknessess when she's pregnant."
Meowth said."Its only natural."
"I know,I just can't help but feel guilty for asking James to go and get me things,
especialy when he's tired or if its late." Jessie told the cat-poke'mon
"James doesn't mind Jessie,if anything he loves to help you,believe me,its no bother to him."
Meowth replied."Wanna watch some TV till James gets back?"
"Why not." Jessie answered.
"Here's some'n ta watch,Poke'mon Battles."Meowth said.
"Thats fine."Jessie yawned.
As she rested on the bed and fell asleep before the battle was over.
About 45 minutes later Jessie awoke to the sound of a door squeaking.She dimmly
opened one eye to see it was James she slowly rose,yawning a little...
"You're back."She said.
"They didn't have strawberry so I just got peach instead."James told her.
"Thats okay,I love peach too."she giggled walking over to her husband.
"Is something wrong Jess,do you ache anywhere?"James asked her.
She shook her head."No its not that,its just..."
"Its just what?"James asked.
"I feel like I'm running you ragged just because I feel sick."Jessie said.
"No your not Jessie,I love helping you."He told her.
"I just feel bad about asking you to do something that I normaly can do."She stated.
"But Jessie."James said."You need your rest,you don't need to be up and about
doing everything,to much might hurt or strain you or the baby."
"But you need your rest to,James."Jessie said,leaning against him."I mean,you have a job,
and I know Poke'mon tutoring is tough,plus taking care of our Poke'mon,and cleaning,and I'm
just putting to much on you,you need your space."
"Really Jess,I love helping you,I'd feel horrible if you didn't let me."James comforted.
"Really?"Jessie asked unsure.
James nodded:"As real as real can be."
Jessie smiled.
"On one condition."James added.
"And that is?" Jessie asked.
"You share whatever food I get." James teased.
"Silly,of course I'll share,all you had to do was ask me."Jessie told him.
"What about Meowth?"asked the cat-poke'mon."Did ya get my stuff too?"
"Yes,yes,Meowth."James said."Here." He said handing him the can of tuna and
the crackers.
"Thanks James!"said a happy Meowth,and he trotted off to his
little kitty bed.
"C 'mon Jess and I'll fix us both a bowl sherbert."James said,wrapping his arm
arounder her and leading her to the kitchen.
"How do you feel Jess?"James asked,remembering her earlier pains from that day.
"I've felt better."She stated."But I'm okay." James stared at her while getting two bowls
from a drainer.
"I'll live." Jessie teased him.
James giggled as he opened the sherbert."Let me know when to stop."
As he began filling each of there bowls with the peach sherbert.
"Thats enough James."Jessie said.
He brought their bowls and sat then on the table.
"Hey you guy's I...WHOA!!!"Meowth gasped,admiring Jessie's bowl of sherbert.
"Thats alot o' sherbert,you gonna eat it all." Meowth asked,hopin for a nibble,or a
bite,or the whole bowl.
"She's eating for two,Meowth."James added.
"Judging by the size of that bowl I'd say she's eating for twenty."Meowth also added
to James' statement.Then realized he shouldn't have said that,he covered his mouth
with his paws. Jessie got up from her chair and left the kitchen.
James glared evily at Meowth and backed off slowly on all fours.
"Well Meowth what do you have to say for yourself?"James asked calmly,
but the anger in him was evident.
"Uhm...Sorry..."Meowth gulped,he knew he would get it now.
But James never once yelled at Meowth,and that made him scared.
"James and Jessie must be really mad at me,otherwise they
would've chewed me out."Meowth said to himself.
He heard a noiseand saw James leaving his chair and going to find Jessie.
Meowth could here little sniffles,it was Jessie crying.
"I hope your happy Meowth." was all James said as he left Meowth and went into the bedroom
to calm Jessie down.
"Idiot." The poke'mon yelled at hisself.
"How could I be so insensative,now James and Jessie hate me."
"Jessie?"James said walking into their bedroom.
"Just go away."was all Jessie said.
But James did not listen,he walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Jess,don't cry,Meowth didn't mean it the way it sounded."James told her.
"Yes he did,and he's right,I am fat."Jessie said.
"No,no,baby thats not true at all."James said,trying to be of some comfort.
"You are beautiful,and I'll admit you've lostyour slim figure,but its only natural."
Jessie stopped crying and glanced at her husband,James.He looked blurred
through her red swelled eye's,tears clouded her vision."Then why did Meowth
say that." She asked.
"Meowth didn't mean anything by it,he never said you was fat."James explained.
"What he meant was that it was a big bowl of sherbert,and he wanted some,thats all."
James continued:"Your gonna be a mom,and me a dad,we should be happy."
"Your right James."Jessie said sitting up.
"Jessie."Meowth said a small voice opening the bedroom door."I'm sorry Jessie,
I didn't meant to hurt your feelin's I just wanted some sherbert,and when you
wouldn't share it I got mad,so I made a bad pun." The cat-poke'mon apologized.
"Will you forgive me,I was just being a stupid poke'mon."
"I forgive you."Jessie said as she picked Meowth up and gave him a small kiss
on his cheek.
"Geez,ya's made me blush.?"Meowth grined.
James and Jessie giggled at him.
"Umm,guy's?"Meowth started.
"What."They both said.
"Can Meowth have some sherbert now?"Meowth asked.
Jessie and James continued giggling."C 'mon,I'll fix you a bowl too." James said,
As they all retreated to the kitchen.
It was 2:00 a.m. when James stired from his sleep,
he rolled over hoping to wrap his arms around Jessie but when he tried.
Nothing.
He opened his eyes and noticed Jessie was not there.
He rose from their bed and slipped on his robe and went to find her.
"Jess?"James called her.
No answer.
"Jessie?"He called again.
Still no answer.
"Jessica!"James called louder.
He had checked every room in their cabin and Jessie
was no where inside,so she must have went outside.
Jessie sat on the front porch steps,she needed to think and this seemed like the
perfect time,during the day she was somewhat busy.
"Am I really ready?"She asked herself,sighing.
Until she heard the front door open.
"James,what are you doing up?" She asked him.
"I was going to ask you the same question."was his reply.
"I couldn't sleep,so I just came out here."Jessie answered him.
"So why are you up?"she glanced at him.
He looked so handsome,with the light breeze blowing his lavender hair.
He answered her."Looking for you."
"Well you found me."She said.
James walked closer to her and sat down beside her.
"Something troubling you Jess?"James asked her.
"No,not at all,what makes you think I'm troubled?"She replied.
"Nothing really,you just look a little depressed,you've
got this nervous expression on your face."He told her."Are you nervous?"
"A little bit."Jessie sighed."What for?"He asked her.
Jessie looked at her stomach then at James,and instantly he knew why she
was nervous.
James smiled.
"I'm nervous too."He told her.
"You are?"Jessie said."How come?"
James answered:"Well when the baby's born I sometimes worry that I won't,
well,be a good father."
"You do."Jessie said.
James nodded."I'm just afraid I won't know what to do."
James embraced her in a hug."It'll be alright Jess,when the time comes we'll know
exactly what to do."
"C'mon,lets get some sleep."He added,escorting his wife back to their bedroom.
Meowth watched them until they shut they door.
"I think their nevrvous."the cat-poke'mon sighed.
"Looks like Meowth has to be of some encouragement."
He silently walked over to their bedroom door,it was barely opened.
Meowth nudged the door open enough for him to squeeze through small opening,
once he was inside he trotted over the bed,
and using his claws he climbed onto the bed careful not to wake James and Jessie.
He noticed they were sleeping in embrace,Meowth smiled,walking up close to their heads.
"You are hopeless."Meowth said,brushing Jessie and James' hair out of their faces.
He yawned,curling up in a ball and rested in between his two friends arms.
"Completely hopeless."

threads on the bedspread.
"Meo-oow-oowth."The pokemon purred playfully like a little kitten.
James laughed uncontrolably at the sight of Meowth."Okay Meowth,you win,I was only
picking on you anyway."
"HUH?"Meowth said."You mean to tell me that I did all that for NOTHING!!!"
"Yes!"James said firmly realizing Meowth sounded ready to land a furry swipe.
"Okay."Meowth said, and curled up on the bed beside Jessie."Have a safe trip."
"Be back shortly."and with saying that James made his way to their jeep and left
for the store.
"He's a great guy,huh Jessie?"Meowth said."He sure is,he'd do anything for me."
Jessie said. "Your very lucky Jessie."Meowth told her.
"Yes,I know."Jessie said."I hate asking him to go get me things sometimes,I feel so helpless."
"Your not helpless,its just that your uhm,um....condition and you just can't do it."
Meowth tried to comfort.
"Well thanks for cheering me up." Jessie sighed.
"What I meant was,a woman has different emotions and weaknessess when she's pregnant."
Meowth said."Its only natural."
"I know,I just can't help but feel guilty for asking James to go and get me things,
especialy when he's tired or if its late." Jessie told the cat-poke'mon
"James doesn't mind Jessie,if anything he loves to help you,believe me,its no bother to him."
Meowth replied."Wanna watch some TV till James gets back?"
"Why not." Jessie answered.
"Here's some'n ta watch,Poke'mon Battles."Meowth said.
"Thats fine."Jessie yawned.
As she rested on the bed and fell asleep before the battle was over.
About 45 minutes later Jessie awoke to the sound of a door squeaking.She dimmly
opened one eye to see it was James she slowly rose,yawning a little...
"You're back."She said.
"They didn't have strawberry so I just got peach instead."James told her.
"Thats okay,I love peach too."she giggled walking over to her husband.
"Is something wrong Jess,do you ache anywhere?"James asked her.
She shook her head."No its not that,its just..."
"Its just what?"James asked.
"I feel like I'm running you ragged just because I feel sick."Jessie said.
"No your not Jessie,I love helping you."He told her.
"I just feel bad about asking you to do something that I normaly can do."She stated.
"But Jessie."James said."You need your rest,you don't need to be up and about
doing everything,to much might hurt or strain you or the baby."
"But you need your rest to,James."Jessie said,leaning against him."I mean,you have a job,
and I know Poke'mon tutoring is tough,plus taking care of our Poke'mon,and cleaning,and I'm
just putting to much on you,you need your space."
"Really Jess,I love helping you,I'd feel horrible if you didn't let me."James comforted.
"Really?"Jessie asked unsure.
James nodded:"As real as real can be."
Jessie smiled.
"On one condition."James added.
"And that is?" Jessie asked.
"You share whatever food I get." James teased.
"Silly,of course I'll share,all you had to do was ask me."Jessie told him.
"What about Meowth?"asked the cat-poke'mon."Did ya get my stuff too?"
"Yes,yes,Meowth."James said."Here." He said handing him the can of tuna and
the crackers.
"Thanks James!"said a happy Meowth,and he trotted off to his
little kitty bed.
"C 'mon Jess and I'll fix us both a bowl sherbert."James said,wrapping his arm
arounder her and leading her to the kitchen.
"How do you feel Jess?"James asked,remembering her earlier pains from that day.
"I've felt better."She stated."But I'm okay." James stared at her while getting two bowls
from a drainer.
"I'll live." Jessie teased him.
James giggled as he opened the sherbert."Let me know when to stop."
As he began filling each of there bowls with the peach sherbert.
"Thats enough James."Jessie said.
He brought their bowls and sat then on the table.
"Hey you guy's I...WHOA!!!"Meowth gasped,admiring Jessie's bowl of sherbert.
"Thats alot o' sherbert,you gonna eat it all." Meowth asked,hopin for a nibble,or a
bite,or the whole bowl.
"She's eating for two,Meowth."James added.
"Judging by the size of that bowl I'd say she's eating for twenty."Meowth also added
to James' statement.Then realized he shouldn't have said that,he covered his mouth
with his paws. Jessie got up from her chair and left the kitchen.
James glared evily at Meowth and backed off slowly on all fours.
"Well Meowth what do you have to say for yourself?"James asked calmly,
but the anger in him was evident.
"Uhm...Sorry..."Meowth gulped,he knew he would get it now.
But James never once yelled at Meowth,and that made him scared.
"James and Jessie must be really mad at me,otherwise they
would've chewed me out."Meowth said to himself.
He heard a noiseand saw James leaving his chair and going to find Jessie.
Meowth could here little sniffles,it was Jessie crying.
"I hope your happy Meowth." was all James said as he left Meowth and went into the bedroom
to calm Jessie down.
"Idiot." The poke'mon yelled at hisself.
"How could I be so insensative,now James and Jessie hate me."
"Jessie?"James said walking into their bedroom.
"Just go away."was all Jessie said.
But James did not listen,he walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Jess,don't cry,Meowth didn't mean it the way it sounded."James told her.
"Yes he did,and he's right,I am fat."Jessie said.
"No,no,baby thats not true at all."James said,trying to be of some comfort.
"You are beautiful,and I'll admit you've lostyour slim figure,but its only natural."
Jessie stopped crying and glanced at her husband,James.He looked blurred
through her red swelled eye's,tears clouded her vision."Then why did Meowth
say that." She asked.
"Meowth didn't mean anything by it,he never said you was fat."James explained.
"What he meant was that it was a big bowl of sherbert,and he wanted some,thats all."
James continued:"Your gonna be a mom,and me a dad,we should be happy."
"Your right James."Jessie said sitting up.
"Jessie."Meowth said a small voice opening the bedroom door."I'm sorry Jessie,
I didn't meant to hurt your feelin's I just wanted some sherbert,and when you
wouldn't share it I got mad,so I made a bad pun." The cat-poke'mon apologized.
"Will you forgive me,I was just being a stupid poke'mon."
"I forgive you."Jessie said as she picked Meowth up and gave him a small kiss
on his cheek.
"Geez,ya's made me blush.?"Meowth grined.
James and Jessie giggled at him.
"Umm,guy's?"Meowth started.
"What."They both said.
"Can Meowth have some sherbert now?"Meowth asked.
Jessie and James continued giggling."C 'mon,I'll fix you a bowl too." James said,
As they all retreated to the kitchen.
It was 2:00 a.m. when James stired from his sleep,
he rolled over hoping to wrap his arms around Jessie but when he tried.
Nothing.
He opened his eyes and noticed Jessie was not there.
He rose from their bed and slipped on his robe and went to find her.
"Jess?"James called her.
No answer.
"Jessie?"He called again.
Still no answer.
"Jessica!"James called louder.
He had checked every room in their cabin and Jessie
was no where inside,so she must have went outside.
Jessie sat on the front porch steps,she needed to think and this seemed like the
perfect time,during the day she was somewhat busy.
"Am I really ready?"She asked herself,sighing.
Until she heard the front door open.
"James,what are you doing up?" She asked him.
"I was going to ask you the same question."was his reply.
"I couldn't sleep,so I just came out here."Jessie answered him.
"So why are you up?"she glanced at him.
He looked so handsome,with the light breeze blowing his lavender hair.
He answered her."Looking for you."
"Well you found me."She said.
James walked closer to her and sat down beside her.
"Something troubling you Jess?"James asked her.
"No,not at all,what makes you think I'm troubled?"She replied.
"Nothing really,you just look a little depressed,you've
got this nervous expression on your face."He told her."Are you nervous?"
"A little bit."Jessie sighed."What for?"He asked her.
Jessie looked at her stomach then at James,and instantly he knew why she
was nervous.
James smiled.
"I'm nervous too."He told her.
"You are?"Jessie said."How come?"
James answered:"Well when the baby's born I sometimes worry that I won't,
well,be a good father."
"You do."Jessie said.
James nodded."I'm just afraid I won't know what to do."
James embraced her in a hug."It'll be alright Jess,when the time comes we'll know
exactly what to do."
"C'mon,lets get some sleep."He added,escorting his wife back to their bedroom.
Meowth watched them until they shut they door.
"I think their nevrvous."the cat-poke'mon sighed.
"Looks like Meowth has to be of some encouragement."
He silently walked over to their bedroom door,it was barely opened.
Meowth nudged the door open enough for him to squeeze through small opening,
once he was inside he trotted over the bed,
and using his claws he climbed onto the bed careful not to wake James and Jessie.
He noticed they were sleeping in embrace,Meowth smiled,walking up close to their heads.
"You are hopeless."Meowth said,brushing Jessie and James' hair out of their faces.
He yawned,curling up in a ball and rested in between his two friends arms.
"Completely hopeless."
