****************************************************************************************

The next morning Jessie awoke.Sick as a dog.
She rushed to the bathroom trying to hold in her regergitation,
and restraining herself from gaging.Meowth and James jumped up in an instant.

"What's goin on?"Meowth asked,having a startling wakeup call.

"Jess,you alright?"James asked her,jumping out of bed.

He heard the toilet flush and walked in and saw Jessie sitting on the floor
against the bath tub,crying.In her hand she was holding a cold,
wet blue wash cloth wiping her tears and helping her from further regergitating.

"Awe Jessie."James said,sitting beside her.

Jessie laid her head in the crouch of his right shoulder.
James wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead.

"It'll be alright."He promised.

Jessie barely nodded.

"C'mon,I'll put you back in bed."He said to her.

Jessie stared at him very strangely.

"Well,I'll help you back in bed."He refraised.

Jessie smiled and stood up,leaning on her James all the way back to their bed.
He eased her down in the bed and pulled the covers up to her breasts.

"You'll be okay Jessie,it just takes time,thats all."He assured her.

"I know."She responded.

He laid out of the covers beside her stroking her soft,pale cheek with his hand.
He kissed her softly.Jessie snuggled closer to him,
laying her head on his bare chest,listening to his heartbeat.

"Are you okay,Jess?"Meowth asked.

"Shhh.she's sleeping."James told him.

"Oh,sorry,how is she"The cat-poke'mon asked.

"She's doing better,these sicknesses just come and go,mainly
from stress."James told him.

Meowth nodded,even though he didn't really understand.

"James?"Meowth started."What exactly is a baby?"He asked.

James smiled."Don't you know?"

Meowth shook his head"All I know bout'em is dat dere what
humans look like fore dey grow up into an adult."

James just looked at Meowth."Meowth,you mean you've never seen a baby."

Meowth shook his head.

"You really don't know,do you."

Again Meowth shook his head.

"Well Meowth,you could say a baby is a special person and they need special care." James
told him.

"Like poke'mon?"Meowth asked.

"Well,sort of,but in a different way."James began to explain.

"Like poke'mon,humans or adults can't understand a baby either,you can only guess at
what they want,but as a parent sometimes you just know."

"Dat's neat."Meowth said.

James continued:"You see,as a trainer,its his or her responsability to raise and
take care of their poke'mon,just as its a parents job to take raise and take
care of their baby.do you understand?"

"I tink so,or I'm beginning to anyhow."Meowth answered.

"You'll find out soon enough Meowth."James said."Soon enough."

He looked down at Jessie and smiled,then at her enlarged stomach,and he smiled larger.
He thought of old times,and how he and Jessie would hang out and talk when they
were at Poke'mon Tech.
How they'd study together,even cheat in clases,and hookie on occasions.

Then he thought of when they had met Chopper and Tyrah,and joined the bike gang along
with them,the names Big Jess and Trainer Jim brought back old memories.

He thought of Team Rocket,some fun and good memories there,their motto was a treasured one.
And then traveling all over following the twerps and Pikachu.
He thought of Lugia,the guardian of peace and harmony,
when he,Jessie and Meowth helped Ash and Pikachu locate those Ancient Spheres,
he remebered Aticuno,the guardian of ice,Zapdos,the guardian of lightning,
and Moltes,the guardian of fire.Those were some terrific,adventurous,and yet scary times.

And now another amazing thing was about to happen in his life,he thought of Jessie and his soon
to be born daughter,if the doctors are right.
He thought of the more responsability,more money,and he didn't mind at all.
Even though he was nervous,he was still very happy.
He smiled to hisself,as he gazed at his vision of loveliness.

"Its not long now."He mumbled and giggled silently.

"James,its 6:57."Meowth whispered.

James glanced at the clock."I just lost track of time,its been a rough night and morning,
even I don't feel good."

He got up ot of bed and began to get dressed.

"Aren't ya gonna's wake Jessie?"Meowth asked.

"Nah,I think i'll just let her sleep."James told him."She deserves it."

After thirty minutes of getting ready and after eating,James started out the bedroom door.

"James...that you?"Jessie said drowsily.

"Yeah,go back to sleep,I'll see you later."He told her.

As he walked over to her and kissed her.

"Can't you stay out just one day,for me?"She asked.

"I'm afraid not,I wish I could though,but I've got a Raichu,an Azumarill,a Ledy Ba,
and a Charmander waiting for tutoring,I got,1,2,3,4 trainer's couting on me."He told her,
he then kissed her again.

"Have a good day,then."Jessie told him.

"You too."James said,then made his way to their jeep and headed for work.

It was 11:06 a.m. as Meowth read the microvave clock.

"I betta get her up."He said to hisself and made his way to Jessie.

"And besides.MEOWTH'S HUNGARY!!!"He said.

Then opened the bedroom door and walked in,he noticed Jessie sleeping so peacefuly,
but he had to wake her up,he was starving.

"Jessie."Meowth said as he gently nudged her shoulder.

Jessie only turned over.

"Jeeeeeeeeesie."Meowth shook her a little.

Jessie only moaned.Meowth was now becoming frustrated either Jessie was a
heavy sleepy or either she was just ignoring him.

"JESSIE WAKE UP!!!"Meowth yelled at her,very loudly.

Jessie woke up in a not so pleasant mood.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SLEEPING FURBALL!!!"Jessie yelled."YOUR INTERRUPTING MY
BEAUTY SLEEP!!!"

Meowth laughed at her:"Well you sure need it...Oops."

He covered his mouth with his paws.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!"Jessie yelled wacking him upside the head with
her mallet,that she always kept hidden under the bed.

Meowth flew against the wall with a bang and knocked a pictue loose,
Meowth fell to the floor with the picture landing on his head.

Jessie fell back onto the bed,crying like a small little girl.

Meowth moaned a little as he got to his feet,as he rose his head he noticed
Jessie and felt really bad about what he had said.

"Me and my big meowth."He said discreatly.

He started to walk over to Jessie,but realized he couldn't make it on hinds,
where Jessie had knocked him silly,so Meowth instead made his way to her on all fours.
He hopped up on the bed and walked over to her,he began rubbing on her,purring like a kitten.

"What do you want now?"Jessie asked,sobbing.

Meowth lowered his head."I'm sorry Jess,I was only kiddin."

"Well I'm not laughing."She remarked.

"I didn't mean to hoit yer feelin's Jess,ya know dat."Meowth added.
"Yer beautiful Jess,ya got alot ta be proud of."

Jessie stopped crying and looked at Meowth.

"I do?"She asked.

"Why soitenly."Meowth replied.

"I mean just tink of it,within a month er' so you'll be craddlin yer
little bundle o' joy."

Jessie thought about that for a second.

"Your right."She smiled.

"Of course I am,you'll make a great mudder,oh and try not to hit me and James
dat much,do you's want dat goil growin up loinin how ta use males fer punchinbags."
Meowth began laughing and Jessie soon joined in.

"Hey Jess I'm sorry,kay's."The cat-poke'mon apologized.

"Okay,Meowth."Jessie giggled.

Two Rocket members ran anxiously through the hallways of Team Rocket Headquareters,
they came upon the pair of wooden doors and opened them.

"Sir."The Rocketeers soluted as they entered.

"You'd better have a good excuse for barging in my office."Giovanni said,with angry tone.
"And you'd better have good news...Did you find them?"

The Rocketeers shook their heads."But we seem to believe they are somewhere in Johto."

"Seeming and finding are two different properties,get out there and FIND THEM!Giovanni raged.
"No one discraces and leaves Team Rocket,and when you find them I want them eliminated,
is that clear."

The Rocketeers replied:"Yes Sir."Then ranout of their boss' office.


"RING RING RING RING! RING RING RING RING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL!"
"RING RING RING RING! RING RING RING RING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL!"


"Hello."Jessie answered picking up the reciver to the video phone.

"Hi."A very familiar and handsome voice responded.

Jessie giggled quietly.

"Do I know who this is?"She joked.

"Very funny Jess,now put me screen so we can see eachother."James told her.

"Okay...silly."She rmarked,pressing the on-screen phone button.

"There is that better."Jessie teased.

"Much."James answered.

"Was there something special you wanted to say or ask me?"Jessie wondered.

"No,no,I just called to let you know I'll be home earlier than usual."James said.

"Really,what happened?"Jessie asked.

James answered:"The trainer with the Raichu didn't show,not that I mind though."

Jessie nodded:"I guess after Pikachu we've seen enough electric mice to last us for ages."

James smiled:"Not that I hate Pikachu's or Raichu's,there just not my cup of tea thats all."

Jessie giggled.

"Well I gotta go."James said."I'll see you in about a couple of hours."

"Alright,love you."Jessie told him.

"Yeah,I love you too,bye." James said,then they both hung up returning to their duties.

"Grrrrrr."Meowth growled as he played with a loose thread on the bed spread.

"What are you doing?"Jessie asked entering the bedroom.

"Shhh.Your ruining my consentration."Meowth answered.

Jessie rolled her eyes."Oh,Meowth how much consentration do you need to slap at a..."

She paused.

Meowth turned and looked at her.

"You okay Jess?"he asked."You's don't look good,ya sick?"

Jessie shook her head."Me-e-owth?"

The cat-pokemon examined her.

"What?"He asked."What is it?"

Jessie answered:"This is it Meowth,its time."

Meowth froze in awe as he stared at her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!WHADDA I DO!WHADDA I DO!"

"RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES LIKE A PSYDUCK ISN'T HELPING ME!!!"Jessie yelled at Meowth.

"Oh,oh right,must stay calm,must stay calm."Meowth repeated."Now tink Meowth,hnnn."

"MEOWTH!"Jessie yelled."DON'T SIT THERE!"

"What do I look like,a Chansey!"Meowth remarked."I know,I'll call James."

Meowth ran to the video phone,but Meowth was so nervous
he couln't dial the number.

"Maybe I should try da hospitals emoigeny number."

Meowth tried to dial the number and with luck he was able to dial it correctly.

Jessie lay against the edge of the bed,breathing fast and deep.

"Don't worry Jess,I dialed da hospital, you'll be okay now,just relax,
try not ta tink about it,yeah."Meowth told her.

"How can I not think about it."She replied.

"Just tink back to da good,excuse me,bad ol' days."Meowth laughed.
"Remember when ya met me."

Jessie answered:"I appreciate you trying to help me Meowth,but its not working!"


About 50 minutes later James was racing towards the hospital after the phone call
he had recieved from Meowth.

He was happy,scared,and worried,all rolled into one......As he continued
driving,he could see the hospital coming into view.

Meowth sat in the waiting room of the hospital.

"I hope Jess is doin okay."he said to himself.

He rose his head to look around and he noticed James making a Beedrill line for him.

"What did you eat jet fied or somtin."Meowth said,giggling.

"How can you make jokes."James asked him.

"Will you relax,your more noivous dan a persian in a room fulla rockin chairs."
Meowth advised.

James replied:"Your right Meowth,I just need t-to."

Meowth finished:"Chill out."

"Umm,excuse me sir,is that your Poke'mon?"The nurse at the front desk asked.

"Yes it is."James replied.

"I'm sorry,but Poke'mon are not allowed in the hospital unless in a Poke'ball."

The nurse told him.

"NO NOT DAT!"Meowth exclaimed."Put me in a dog house!A mad house!ANYTING BUT A POKE'BALL!!!"

"It-it talks!"The nurse said,stunned.

"Its a long story,but I'm not reall da poke'ball type."Meowth explained.

"He's afraid of them."James added,Meowth shot him an evil glare.

"So's dat kids Pikachu."Meowth remarked.

The nurse giggled."Well if your Meowth is well behaved I suppose he could stay out."

Meowth smiled.

"If he's kept on a leash."The nurse added.

Meowth fell over(anime style).

"Miss,can you tell me what room Jessica Morgan is staying in?"James asked.

He wanted so badly to see her.The nurse began typing on the computer,scanning the files

"Yes she's in room 202 in maternity."The nurse told him.

"Thank you."James told her.

They walked through the hallways of the hospital.

"Here it is,202."Meowth said,scratching at his red colar.

Jessie lay on her bed,resting her eyes,feeling a little pain and tension.

She felt something against her cheek,she opened her eyes startled.

"Its only me."James said,brushing her lips with a kiss.

Jessie smiled.

"How do you feel?"He asked her.

"Terrible."Jessie moaned."And scared."

"You'll be alright."James assured her."Just relax."

Meowth looked at him."Look who's talkin."

Just then Dr.Osito walked in,with a couple of nurses.

"Well Jessie."Dr.Osito said."You ready to have this baby?"

Jessie shook her head."No!I'm not ready!"

Dr.Osito smiled."You'll be fine Jessie,just do as I instuct you."

"Yeah,Jess,it'll be alright."James added.

"Thats easy for you to say,your not the one who feels like
you got a basketball for a stomach!"Jessie told him.

"I know,I don't know how you feel,but I'm with you 100% Jess,
I'll be right here."James replied."You can do this."

Jessie tried to smile."You ready Jess?"James asked her.

Jessie answered:"I'm ready...but this is gonna hurt."

"I'm right here."James assured her once more.
