Short update ^_~

Samuel sometimes has time to play with his kids. May, Gary, and Ash. They all go to the park or the carnival, and we all have a fun time. Samuel sometimes kisses me when people aren't looking. Or he'll give me a little pinch on the butt. (A/N: had to write that in)

Ash, my baby, will always be my baby no matter what. But he's growing up too fast for me. I don't want to lose him... not like when I lost...

No! It's not going to be that way. That's why I'm more protective towards my son. He's all I have, my life, my little man. Samuel knows that too. He cares for Ash just as I do.

He's my son, and Samuel's his father. So nothing in the world matters.

Am I really safe here?

It was a normal afternoon, and Ash wanted to go out. Samuel took the day off to spend time with his grandchildren.

"Mommy, I want to go out," Ash cried and begged me.

"Ash, baby, I'm too tired from cleaning, honey. Maybe we'll go somewhere tomorrow," I said trying to give him a warm smile.

"You said that yesterday, and the day before and the day before that day," he stated looking half mad and half depressed.

Boy, how can a child remember so far but not remember where he left his shoes last? "Ash, please, not now," I begged, dropping my whole tired body on the couch.

"But... But you promised," he said with tears falling down his eyes.

I know honey but--"

Ash ran upstairs crying. I really hate when the boy does that. He knows that's my one and only weakness. I really hate seeing him cry.

The doorbell had rung, and I was way to tired to answer it. "What if it's Samuel... or maybe... No, no, I'm not going to..."

The door shakes and rattles. I just sit here watching the door shake.

I know that I'm starting to quiver while my eyes are glued to the door. I'm scared to death. What will happen? What if it's him? He's nearby and he wants to kill me and... No, not my son.

The door is being knocked, and now I'm trembling. I can't move; my feet are stuck on the floor, and my hands are sweating. The cordless phone is now here, it's in the kitchen, I can't scream because I had just lost my voice. I feel the sweat falling from my forehead. I don't know if I should run or not. I hear someone walking down the stairs... Down... the... stairs?

"ASH!"

Mommy, there's someone at the--"

The door is kicked harder, and the glass breaks. I finally jump up and run towards my son. I grab his whole body and make a run of it.

"MAMA!" he cried as I made my way to the kitchen. My heart pumped faster as I opened the back door and escaped. I ran all the way to Samuel's house and knocked on the door hard and fast. Ash was crying, from panicking and from me going crazy in one second.

Samuel wasn't home, but little May answered the door and saw me, my hair messed up and holding Ash with one arm, almost dragging him. "May, where's your grandfather?" I asked, out of breath.

"Mrs. Ketchem, he's over at your house now!" she answered.

I finally put Ash down; he sat on the ground and wipeed his tears with his hands, which were now dirty.

"DELIA KETCHEM!" someone yelled. My body jumped. I turned around to face Samuel. He got off his bike and quickly walked up to me.

"WHAT WAS ALL THAT?" he yelled.

"Someone was at my door and I--"

"Went all undomesticated on me!"

"That... that was you at my door?"

"YES!"

Oh, Lord... I thought to myself. "Wait... that was you right?" I asked.

"Yes, it was."

I slapped Sam on the chest and started to scream. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KNOCK DOWN MY DOOR LIKE THAT? YOU KNOW YOU HAD ME SCARED OUT OF MY MIND? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Calm down... thought something was wrong when you didn't answer your door!"

"WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING AFTER YOU KNOCKED... LIKE, 'DELIA ARE YOU THERE?'"

"CALM YOURSELF DOWN--" Samuel noticed that he too was now screaming and we were only a few inches apart from each other. He blushed when he saw a lot of people from Pallet walking out of their houses to see what all the screaming was about.

"Delia... come inside," he said in a low voice. He walked in the house, I carried Ash into the house, who seem to be trembling from all the drama today. (A/n: poor kid ^_~ )

"Delia, the reason why I came over was because I wanted to tell you that Spencer Hale and his wife and daughter Molly will becoming here to visit us in Pallet."

Spencer?"

Samuel raised his eyebrow and looked at me strangely.

"Gramps, can me, May, and Ash go in the backyard?" Gary asked.

"Sure... run along," he said, still staring at me strangely.

"C'mon, guys," May said, running first to the backyard. The rest followed her. They all left me with Sam, who was scaring me because he's looking at me strangely and he won't stop.

"What?" I asked. Sam folded his arms cross his chest and looked at me, then open his mouth to say something.

"You... you won't try anything funny when Spencer is around... right?"

"Huh?" I'm very confused.

"You know what I mean."

Um... No, I don't, Sam, I thought to myself. I didn't answer him.

"Delia... remember when I was teaching... you and Spencer... you know."

"Um, no, I don't know, Samuel... stop it, you're scaring me."

"You had a thing for Spencer, right?" He asked, now looking down on the coffee table.

"A thing?" I didn't realize what he was getting at.

"Delia, you know what I mean, you don't try anything funny with Spencer, ok?"

"What are you saying... you know I wouldn't cheat on you... right?"

"Hm," he said, still staring at the table.

"Ok... what was 'Hm' all about?"

"Nothing."

"Sam," I said in a demanding voice.

"Nothing, I was just--"

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"I do."

Then what was 'Hm' all about, huh?" I asked, getting angry.

"Look, I'm sorry Del--"

"I don't want to hear it, Sam," I said, then got up and walked to the backyard. "Ash, come on, honey. we're leaving."

"Oh, Mom! Do we--"

"YES. Come on." I grabbed Ash's hand and walked to the front, which is a long walk. Samuel's yard is gigantic.

When we got to the front Samuel stood there waiting for us. I sighed, then walked past him until he grabbed my arm, keeping me from walking away.

"Delia, come inside. Really I want you to stay."

"We have to go, Sam... Professor Oak." I said, glaring at him.

"No... I... Um... I heard it's going to rain, and you should stay here for the night."

"No, it's not," I said, shaking his hand away. Then I felt it.

Just my luck... it's raining.

Later that day after dinner:

"So wanna go and play hide and go seek after dinner?" Gary asked.

"No, Gary, it's going to be late, and you kids should go to bed early. School's tomorrow." Samuel said, busting their bubble.

"Ah, man!" all the children said, frowning.

"Well,I guess you're upsetting everyone today, Professor," I said, hinting to him that he was now in my crap list.

After the children were in bed, Samuel sat by me on the couch. I didn't look at him at all. I mostly was staring at the fireplace. He cleared his throat for a while, but I didn't move. Then he tried to talk to me, but I didn't answer him at all.

"Delia, I'm sorry... it's just that, I... Well... I was scared."

This got me to talk. "Of what, Sam?" I asked in an emotionless tone.

"Of you... leaving me."

"Me leaving you?" I asked, then slowly turned to face Samuel.

"I was scared that... if you saw him again... you'd leave me."

"Why would I leave you like that?"

"He's younger then me, and he's more um... well... let's face facts, I'm not a handsome man and--"

"Samuel, you're wrong! Is that what you think of me? A woman who wants a handsome young man? And by the way... I don't fall in love with ugly guys. Well, once I fell in love with an evil guy... but he wasn't ugly!" Samuel chuckled at that.

"Anyway, I fell in love with you, and like I always say... I don't care about your age... does love really matter as far as gender, age, or how handsome someone is?"

"The gender part does."

"SAM!"

"What?" he asked, chuckling.

"I wasn't joking here!"

"I'm sorry, but that was funny!"

I just faced at the fireplace and took a deep breath. Samuel put his arm around my shoulder and leaned his face on me.

"Why do you have to do that to me?"

"Why not?" he asked.

"I said it once, and I'll say it again... you'll never change."

"Nope... Anyway, change is a bad thing."

"It's good at some parts."

"True."

"You think the kids are sleeping?"

"Yeah, I think so. Why? Are you in the mood?"

"No... are you?"

"Nope... nope... course not."

"Oh... Ok then."

"Nope... nope... nope." Samuel leaned in, put his soft hand on my cheek, and made me face him.

"What?" I asked, not really knowing what he was doing.

He leaned in and gave me a kiss. I didn't know what else to do because I was really enjoying it, so I kissed back. I felt his warm smooth hands touching and rubbing my own hands. I really couldn't take his weight anymore, so I laid on the couch and sent him on top of me. I was about to take off his lab coat, but he stopped me.

"Delia... we have to stop."

"Why?" I asked Why? What did I mean by that? Wasn't I mad at him?

"We have to stop."

"I know... because of the kids, right?"

"No."

"Then why?" I asked. God, I really must be in the mood.

"Because... the couch is no place for us to... um... do nasty things that adults need to do."

"My room's better. Besides, it has more room."

"Oh, I see, let's go!" I said, racing to his room. He raced with me.

The embarrassing event

(A/n: I love this part. The idea belongs to my dear little cousin, who still today is being laughed in his face for doing this. I LOVE YOU AND I'M SORRY!)

The next day after refreshing up, Ash yet again begged me to take him somewhere.

"The zoo!" Samuel said to Ash.

"The zoo? What's that?" he asked.

"Delia, Ash, never seen the zoo before?"

I blushed. "Um... not really. Nor the circus for that matter."

"Well, then, kids, pack your stuff... we are going to the zoo, then the circus!"

"YAH!!!!!!!!" all the kids yelled.

Funny... when I'm mad, he kisses me... when they're mad, he takes them out..." I sighed then looked at Samuel.

Afternoon comes, and we were done with the zoo; Samuel decided to take the kids and me to a quick lunch. We ordered some food and sat down and started to eat. Then... I smelt it.

Oh, God, don't tell me... Ash had an... oh, no... he did...

"Ash... hon... did you... go to the bathroom at all today?"

"Yeah."

"Are you sure?" Samuel asked him, smelling it too.

"Yep, no wee wee."

The smell was getting worse. And I knew it and Samuel know it.

Oh, my, not now, Ash... why do you have to do this to me NOW?

"Ok, Ash, baby... did you go to the bathroom right now?"

"Nope."

"ASH... IF YOU DON'T TELL ME THE TRUTH, YOU'RE GOING TO BE--"

Ash stood up on his chair, turned around, pulled down his pants, spread his butt cheeks out, and said, "Look... only farts, Mama."

Samuel's and my eyes widened. May and Gary just started to laugh, and so did everyone that was in the restaurant. A couple came up to us, still laughing, and told us that it would be alright and that they hadn't laughed so hard in years.

Ash and I went home. Samuel took the sleepy May and Gary to his house.

Note to self, never take Ash anywhere."

"Mommy, I'm sorry."

"It's ok, Ashy. Next time don't do that, ok?"

"Ok, Mama." He gave me a bear hug and stood there for a while. I kissed the top of his head.

My baby, I thought. My baby.

I want her

A/N: Ok, for some of you people who wants to know what happened to big "G," this part will tell you what happened. Also Delia is not in this part nor anyone in pallet. This is unknown to Delia or Samuel. The setting here is in a prison.

"Ok, boss, whatever you want, but I don't get it. Why didn't you kill her? You're stronger then her, and I know that you could've killed her in less then two minutes."

"I tried to."

"No, you didn't... you held back."

"I said I tried."

"Brother... I know you. Don't lie to me. You never lied, and I won't let you lie to me now."

"I... I still love her, John."

"So what should we do? I mean, you know that they won't let you go for four years."

"John, don't worry, I have everything under control."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes... believe me, she won't get away."

"So now what are we going to do?"

We? I can't do much in here, but you and the rest we'll remind to do crime and steal pokemon. And I want you to be the gym leader until I come back."

"Yes, sir" John said, sitting up in the hard chair near the bars to Giovanni's cell.

"Also, John..."

"Yeah?"

"I want you to put down a lot of money for the testing project that the Kanto has."

"What do you mean?"

"There are some researchers who want to do a experiment on the legendary pokemon called "Mew." They are trying to make a "Mewtwo," but they can't do it without money. Give them what they need."

"But why?"

"Because I think they're on to something... something I think that will make me powerful."

A/N: Pokemon the first movie... this is that little part; it explains why Giovanni Was control of the whole search then. If you watch the movie you'll understand when one scientist said, "We should call Giovanni" or something like that. Back to the story.

End of chapter

So what did you guys think? Funny? No? I'm sorry, I really lost my notebook... it's not really want I wanted to write down... I thought about all the people who had been asking me questions about Giovanni so I decided to add this part it. I'm trying to fit everything perfect. Like the next chapter is going be with Ash and Molly (Hale's daughter) and that photo! See what I mean, it seems like it's the true facts don't it? Lol. I hope you like my NEW writing style. If you are like Latonya and you don't understand... that's ok. ::tries to explain it::

Ok well, you see I use to not clarify some things and just read what was in my notebook and copy it... even if it was misspelled or the wrong words. Also I really didn't explain anything much, my friend told me that when I write fanfics... something I write them... lifeless I don't explain things and a lot of that. I'll admit I was depressed because I really wanted more people to like it, but so far a few people review me. And they have always been the same people. Anyways just so you know... I thought about giving up writing... but now, I thought of something.

You really don't need people to tell you what or how to make your story. If you think it's great thumbs up for you. You don't really need to be first place or #1. As long as you feel that your and your fanfic is #1 that's really all that matters. And Oh my god... I'm turning all sappy ::cries::

Anyways, I'm going to stay up tonight and keep writing my heart out.

By the way, my two cousins wants me to tell you to read all their poems and fanfics. My cousins are:

HB = A mean rude person who writes AAMRNs, and I got her to start writing eldershippy which soon will be in Latonya Wright's site... cuz I know she loves Eldershippys! Lol

KissinUrSkin= I think many know her. She writes eldershippy only and she loves shake-a-spear!

KissinUrSkin: It's Shakespeare!

Whatever, anyways bye, bye ya!
