My Mistakes in Life

Part 20: Motherhood

0x01 graphic

The next day, I got some flowers from Samuel's son's wife. I also got a drawing from my little china doll. (^_~)

Samuel hurried into the room and quickly gave me a kiss. "I'm going to buy you a house close to my son's house!"

"HUH?"

"I'm going to buy you a house close to my son's house!"

"NO, SAM, I--"

"YOU WILL! I won't take NO for an answer, Delia! I want to see my boy grow up to be a man! I don't want to lose you or him!"

I didn't speak.

"Delia, I want to at least feel close to you and my son."

I sighed and blew a bit of hair that was falling from my ponytail. I knew once Sam said something, no one could fight back.

"Ok, I'll live here... in Pallet."

"Good! Tomorrow I'll give you the money to buy that house next to my son... so that it will look like you brought it."

"We will tell Ash when he's older. I'll always know he's an Oak, but for now he'll be a Ketchem. I'll be Mrs. Ketchem. I'll have to tell him something when he's small, but when he grows up, I'll tell him... I mean, we'll tell him the truth."

"I love you," Sam said, depressed at the fact that we can't be with each other as much as we want to be.

"Me too," I said, rubbing my hand against his cheek. "Me too."

(Week later)

Samuel and his son moved all my things into my new house. That was the day I got to see my little boy, the reason why I haven't was because they gave me pain killers. I wasn't strong to hold him.

As I was in my wheelchair beginning to feel back to my normal self again, I saw my joy. He had Samuel's chocolate brown eyes and my cuteness. (^_~) He's my joy. Once Samuel saw Ash, he fell in love with him... but Sam wondered why Ash had weird lines on his cheeks. His birth marks on his cheeks--lightning cheeks. Sam thought that the doctors made a mistake, but I reassured him it was no mistake; my father had the same marks on his cheeks. I looked into his face; he had all of my family and Samuel's family features. I glanced at the bracelet on his right foot.

Name: Ash Satoshi Ketchem

Born: Nov 11, 1990 (In the movie pokemon 2000 Ash was ten yrs old)

Number: 849039

I saw my son. He was adorable. I knew he'd be the death of me when he's older. I have to keep my baby safe from now on. I can't let Giovanni win my life. I have to get away from the past; I'll forget my past and start in the future--my future. But I felt that everything was going too fast for me.

5 yrs later

"Ash, where are you?" I asked, looking for my son. He's always missing.

I have to find him... what if he's lost? And looking for his mommy?

"ASH!" I shouted, looking in the bedrooms. I ran outside. "ASH!"

I ran back inside to call the police, then I heard him laughing. I listened for the laugh. I knew I was close. His laughing got louder. It was coming from under that table.

"BOO!" he yelled laughing.

"ASH KETCHEM, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU, NEVER DO THAT TO ME!" I yelled.

"Sowy, Mommy," my son said, hiding his face under the table again.

I sighed, then had an idea. I crawled under the table with him, but he was turned the other way.

"GOT YA!" I said, grabbing him and laying him on the floor. He laughed as I tickled him.

"Stop, Mommy! ::Laughs:: Stop!"

I stopped and carried him out from under the table. "Now go upstairs and brush your teeth, then nap time."

"NO-NO-NO NAP!" he protested.

"NOW, YOUNG MAN!" I ordered.

He just started to cry and went upstairs to brush his teeth. I really hated to see him cry, but sometimes I have to do what a mother should do. Besides, Ash gets crabby if he doesn't take his naps.

Ding Dong! I walked to the door to see May bringing Gary over.

"Mama wants to know if--"

"Yes, Gary may stay over. Where are they going and how long?" I said, knowing Sam's family by now.

"To the big boat ride!" May said, handing me Gary's things. Gary was way too young to go on the family's trips.

"Ok, I see. You going to get me something from over there?" I asked, loving to hear her cute little voice.

"Yeah, I'm going to get you a seashell."

"Well, then, come on in, Gary. Bye, May."

"Bye, bye Delia!"

"Bye, May." I shut the door and looked at Gary. He was another cutie. "What movie did you bring today?"

"Beauty and the Beast," he said, walking to the TV.

"Well, Ash is taking a nap, so maybe..."

I saw my little boy walking down the stairs. He had on his 'I'm tired, leave me alone' look, until he saw his best friend (his only friend who is a boy), Gary. His hair is all messed up and it looks cute but funny. I tried to fix it, but Ash started to wine about leaving his hair alone. I giggled at my little sleepy boy.

"Hi, Gary!"

"Hi, Ashyboy, wanna see Beauty and the Beast?"

"Uh-huh, I love that movie!"

"Me too."

They both sat down and waited for me to put the movie on. As soon as I put the movie on, the doorbell rang.

"Coming in a minute," I answered, walking to the door.

"Hello, Del... I mean Mrs. Ketchem."

"Hello, Sam... Professor Oak."

He smirked. "I see my son has left Gary here again."

"So what else is new?" I said, giggling at that fact.

"May I come in?"

"You know you're always welcome, Sam... Professor Oak!" I'll forget what to call him at times.

"Hello, Ash."

"Hi, Professor," he said, giving Sam a hug. I thought it was a nice view to see them both together.

"Mrs. Ketchem, may I talk to you?"

"Sure. Come with me."

I led Sam to my bedroom, I knew Ash wouldn't go in there. I sat on the bed and waited for Sam to sit down.

"Delia?"

"Yes, Sam?"

"I'm so sorry."

"It's ok, I love my life now that I know I have you."

"I know that, but I wasn't talking about that."

"Then what?"

"For five years... I waited..."

"For what?"

"For this," he said, leaning to kiss me. I let him kiss me. He got on top of me; now I knew what he was talking about. I stopped kissing him.

"Sam? The kids are downstairs..." I heard Ash getting up and turning the TV up louder. Ash has a bad habit of doing that... but right now, I was happy he did it.

"OK, now we can--"

In a supersonic boom my top was off.

(Later)

"Mommy! The movie finished!" Ash yelled from downstairs.

"I'll be down there in a minute," I answered, still laying on top of Samuel. I sat up and put my bra on.

"He's very handsome, Delia," Samuel said, staring at the celling. When he is in his deep thoughts, he stares at something.

"He's handsome like his dad," I joked.

"He's got your personality." Samuel rubbed my back when I was putting back on my clothes.

"Sam, I want you."

"AGAIN????" o.O

"Not like that! I want to be with you, to see your face every night and day."

"I do too."

"Well, we have 15 more years," I said, looking at Samuel.

"I know. Until then, I'll still love you... Mrs. Ketchem."

"You too, Professor Oak."

END OF PART "S"

Guess what? The part where Ash was hiding under the table... I use to do that to my mother... I always though it was funny... but really I scared my mother to death... and I always end up getting yelled at... I was about four years old! Funny, huh? LOL!
