It has been 6 months since Nicole knew she as going to have a baby, and
they were both working hard, they already knew she was going to be a girl,
and they preppared the room for her, it was light blue, and had ligh pine
furniture with aqua green doors, and an aqua green table, there was no crib
because those first months she was going to sleep in their room, after came
the name deciding, they had no clue of what was going to be the name, "hum,
how about Claudia" Nicole said, "no, i dont like it" Tracey answered, "i
know, Tracey" mew said appearing out of nowhere again, "get lost" he said
throwing a cushion at the white, pinkish cat, he dogged it, "comeon, he was
just kidding" Nicole laughed, vulpix's ear were pricked up listening to
everything that happened around them, but she was asleep, "still, you have
a lot of time to decide" mew said, "you are right" Tracey concluded.
Suddenly the phonee ringed Nicole stood up to pick it but Tracey stopped
her, "you must rest" he said, "get lost" she said annoyed and pushing him
against the sofa, she picked the phone and turned the screen on, there she
saw Misty and beihnd her was Ash running everywere arround with a apper n
his hands and screaming ¡WAHOOOO!, Nicole sweatdropped, same as Misty, "oh,
he wanted me to call you, well, anyways he cant talk, we are making a party
at our house, he just got his mastery license, he is a pokemon master now"
Misty explained, "congratulations, i will be there" Nicole said and hanged
the phone. Tracey walked torwards her, "what is it?" he asked, "oh, just
some party at the Ketchum's home" Nicole said, "the Lketchum's home?"
Tracey asked, "those two will marry, so, why not calling them Ketchum
already?" Nicole said with a grin.
Afterwards in Ash and Misty's home, everything was getting ready for the dinner, there were many people already there, between them they could see prof. Oak, Dhelia Ketchum, Ritchie, Duplica, Todd, even Gary Oak was there, there were also their friends, Ken and Rose, Charlie, Justine, and oviously their pokemon. They sat by the table, Tracey was discussing something about legendary pokemon with Samuel Oak, Gary was shwoing off his pokemon but the trainers didnt even look at them, excepct Todd who wanted some photographs, Duplica made some mimicking with ditto, Rithchie and Ash discussed something about training, Ken and Charlie were doing nothing excepct listen to the girls and eat some olives, and the girls were talking about everything, but the main theme was kids and marriage, "so Misty, when are you and my son planning to get married and have a kid?" Dhelia asked, Misty blushed, "oh well, it doenst depend on me only, also on him, but i think he is scared" Misty concluded, "scared? Oh well, then i wil have to talk with him" Dhelia said, "oh no, its not necesary, i am sure when it has to come, it will" Misty said, Dhelia nodded smiling. After a sing from pikachu they all sat by the table, "ok, i am very proud to tell you that after defeating the Jhoto league, the Orange league and being between the first 16 in the Kanto league, i have gotten finally the mastry license, wich means i am already considered a pokemon master" Ash said showing his diploma, everyone cheered, then they took dinner and after they started drinking, Nicole didnt like alcohol so she just drank some tea, same with Misty, and mostly the girls who mainly took a little cup´of chamapgne, or similars, but the men did drink those alcoholic stuff, like rakia, and chanpagne, and some really strong stuff like grog, Ash was old enough to drink, but he didnt know his organism was not ready for loads of alcohol, he drank a bit too much, and although he was on his senses he was not as much as when sober, but you couldnt tell, same with Gary and Ritchie who decided to contest on who could drink in one gulp, but the girls stopped them soon enough luckily.
After everyone left Misty with the pokemon's help started cleaning a bit before going to bed, she came up a while after and stated washing her teeth, "it was quiet a party, right?" Ash said, "yep, i had some fun, excepct when that showoff started fooling with alcohol" Misty complained, "oh, you know him, dont mind him, i always knew he was a big jerk" Ash said, Misty smiled and headed for the bed, she layed down and they both kissed a good night kiss, "thse two seem to be so happy together" Misty said, "who? Nicole and Tracey?" Ash asked, "yeah" Misty said, "well, i think we are happy too, right?" Ash said, "yeah, but if we were married, it would be better" Misty said a bit sadly, "hey, we have time forgetting married, we are young" Ash said, he leaned over her and Misty observed him, she could see his brown chestnut eyes staring right at hers, "well, you are right" Misty said, they both started kissing, or making out, not really on their full senses, or at least Ash, they could not suspect this was going to lead to something else, but it did.
The next morning Ash could not remember a thing, he felt dizzy and had a light headache, he got dressed up and walked downstairs, Misty was cooking some breakfast, "good morning" he said, "good morning Ash" she said smiling, she had prepared some toasts and chocolate milk, they sat down to eat breakfast, Ash looked arround and saw pikachu, bulbasaur, chikorita, cyndaquil, totodile and noctowl looking at him, "hey wassup with you guys?" he asked a bit annoyed, they laughed lightly and went on with eating, Ash was now really confused, "Misty, what did i do yesterday?" Ash asked, Misty looked at him, "dont you remember?" she asked, "not really" he answered, "oh, nothing dumb, trust me" Misty said, "then why are they laughing at me?" Ash said annoyed, "oh i dont know, you know pokemon, maybe they said a joke about you or something" Misty said blushing slightly.
Days were passing by, and the birth day for Nicole's and Tracey's daughter was very close, both were so nervous about being parents, but they seemed to take it pretty well, of course, Tracey was the caring person who wouldnt let Nicole even move to go take some water, and Nicole was a very independent and nervous person who liked to move and walk. One day Misty had come to her home to have a little chat, "so how is Tracey about this?" Misty asked curiously, Nicole sighted heavily, "gee, dont even ask, this two months he has been WAY too caring, he will tell some chalenger tpo leave, like if i had nothing better than to let my pokemon spoil with the lack of excercise, he doesnt let me go out, hardly even move from the sofa, i wish i could tell him, STOP IT, i know how to care for myself, i dont need your help, but it will hurt his feelings, you know how sensible he is" Misty nodded at her explanantion, and couldnt help but smile, "well, thats typical, he has always been a very caring person" Misty told, "i know but i need some freedom, i dont think having this kid was such a good idea after all" Nicole sighted, "oh no, dont say that, im sure having a kid is not that bad" Misty said a bit stunned, "i know, its wonderful and all that, but its annoying" Nicole said, "ok, lets talk about something else" Misty said, "like what?" Nicioe asked, both of them stood silent for a while, finally Nicole spoke, "so how is your relationship with you and Ash going?" she asked, Misty smiled a bit, "well, its all right, but im a it worried" she explained, "worried? 2hy?" Nicole asked, Misty blushed a little but decided to explain everything to her best friend, "well, that day when Ash got his mastery license, well something happened betwen us, he was not onhis right sense and doesnt remember, but i do, well, now i...well...got a miss" Misty explained, Nicole smiled, "hey, dont worry, probably its nothing, anyways go talk with a doctor, and if it is, there is nothing to worry about" Nicole said, "there is, Ash doesnt want a baby yet, and he might dump me if i get to have one" Misty said almost crying, Nicole sensed her fear, "listen, Mist, he will not dump you because he loves you, and he will not dare because, neither i, neither Tracey, neither any of the destined will let him, ok? Dont worry about this any longer" Nicoel said giving her a comforting hug, Misty smiled a bit and let.
She walked home and on her way she bought a predictor, when she got home she used it and waited for the result to show up, she didnt have to worry about Ash seeing it because he had let earlier to do some things in the lab. Not much later she went to check the results and almost fell down, her face was pale like the wall and she had to lean over the toilt so she wouldnt fall, "oh for lugia's sake, its true, i am" she said, her words faded as she heard Ash's keys on the lock, she quickly threw the predictor away and went to greet her boyfriend, "hi Mist, hey, whats wrong?" he asked when he saw the colour, or should i say the colorlesss face of his girlfriend, "hu? Oh nothing, dont worry, its nothing" she said, "dont tell me its nothing, even a natural yogurt will have more colour" Ash said, he leaned torwards his girl and kissed her softly, but she pulled away wich made him worry, "hey,whats wrong?" Ash asked now realy annoyed, "i told you nothing, now please, im just a bit tired, i didnt have a good night" Misty excused and went to sit on the sofa, Ash went to get changed, but he was worried, he couldnt understand the sudden behaviour of his once passionate girlfriend.
Later that night, Nicole received a phone call from Misty, she picked it up and turned on the screen, "hey, hi Misty how are you?" She asked joyfully, Misty answered with a very soft fine, thank you, but Nicole noticed at the expresion in her face that she was NOT fine, "Misty, tell me what is wrong?" Nicole asked, Misty turned her face at her, "well, remember what i told you this morning?" Misty started, "yeah, what about it?" Nicole asked again, "well, it gave me...a positive result" Misty said and covered her face with her hands, "oh Misty, thats not bad, its wonderful" Nicole said, "not that great, i still didnt tell Ash" Misty said, suddenly she heard a voice behind her, "didnt tell me what?" Ash asked, Misty turned arround surprised and almost leapt off the seat, "oh, its nothing really, i will call you later Nocle, cya" Misty said with a fake smile. Ash sat on the sofa and motioned Misty to sit next to him, she did soe and he passed an arm arround her waist, "misty, i can tell when something is not right, and i know something isnt right, tell me please, is it something bad?" Ash asked, Misty smiled at him "its nothing Ash, really" Misty said, Ash looked at her with those i-know-you-more-than-that look, she sighted "ok, its something, very little, very VERY little, but id rather tell you once im completely sure" Misty said with a little trace of a smile playing in her lips, Ash looked at her now more worried than befreo "is it something bad? I mean, you are not sick or anything, right?" Ash said, Misty laughed softly, "of course not dummi, its not bad" Misty said now feeling slightly better, Ash kissed her soflty and she joined the kiss. Misty then looked blankly at the TV screen while Ash took a zip of his cola drink, "Ash, do you think i would be a good mother?" Misty asked, Ash choked with his own drink, then he looked at Misty once he was able to breathe, "well, i think you would be an excellent mother, why?" Ash finally answered, Misty smiled, "its nothing Ash, i was just wondering".
Things were not going the best way for Misty, arround a week after she slightly confessed Ash, who still didnt had a clue, she started feeling worse. Ash had just left to his daily job, and Misty was home studying to become a pokemon journalist, pikachu was next o her, observing with a big grin, Misty noticed that and looked at the little rodent "ok, pikachu, will you stop looking at me like that?" she said siling, pikachu shook his head, "you think i should tell Ash, right?" Misty said, pikachu nodded with a "pika" "never" Misty answered and went back on writting some stuff, pikachu went in front of her and pointed at her stomach "ok, i know i wont be able to keep it a secret forever, but im not ready now" Misty said, pikachu nodded and sat on the chair next to hers. Misty then started feeling dizzy, the letters in the book turned arround like a poliwhirl's belly, she lowered her head to let the blood drain in her head, pikachu noticed and walked torwards her noticeably worried "its ok, pikachu, im better, il just lay down on the sofa and it will be fine" Misty said, she layed on the sofa and eventuallly dozed off, pikachu would stay with her all time.
Bulbasaur came in, he has been eating some leaves in the garden, he noticed pikachu worried over sleeping Misty, so he started to worry himself, "hey, pikachu, what is wrong?" bulbasaur asked, "i dont know, hope she will be fine" pikachu answered, "you think its because of that?" bulbasaur asked, "hope so" pikachu answered, chikorita just happened to walk by "she deserves it" she said in a very harsh tone, "chikorita, you know you are a pokemon, you cant go out with Ash, why dont you go out with bulbasaur?" Pikachu yelled, "what?...EWWWWW"bulbasaur said sticking his tounge out, "never" Chikorita said, sudenly cyndaquil appeared by too, "hey wassup?" she said, "where did you learn that?"pikachu asked, "oh, on TV" cyndaquil said scratching her head and blushing slightly from embarrasment, "anyways, cya arround suckers" chikorita said before leavign torwards the garden, "uh, what is wrong with her?" cyndaquil asked, "jeallows, i presume" pikachu answered, "sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt have been better if she was captured by team rocket" bulbasaur answered, "i even got to think she was related with Gary" pikachu said, the two pokemon sicghted while the fire rodent stared with a quizzy look on her face.
A key turned arround the keylock and oppened the door, Ash entered the house happily, Misty ran torwards him and hugged him, Ash kissed her gently, "hey, Mist, how has the day been?" he asked joyfully, "oh, pretty good" Misty answered, "by the way, i have been kinda busy so i ordered chinese food" Misty said, "great, i always love that stuff" Ash said and placed his bag in the wardrove, and helped Misty put the table, they both sat down enjoying the food, however Misty started feeling bad again, Ash noticed, "Mist, are you ok? You arent eating a thing, and you look like a block of snow" she said, Misty smiled, "im ok Ash, dont worry" she said, however she had the awful need to throw the food, and rushed torwards the bathroom, Ash looked at pikachu, "im worried pikapal, is she hiding something from me?" Ash asked, pikachu shook his head worried, however chikorita gave them an evil eye, "you are going to pay for this" chikorita comented to herself, a wing attack nocked her over "thats what you think" noctowl said, chikorita looked at him ready to battle "you..." she started "ah ah, it seems like you were going for a houndour but got lost in the way, however, im going to teach you some manners, and how to treat your masters, young lady"noctowl said, "how, if i may know?" chikorita yelled, "with our help" bulbasaur said, and cyndaquil, totodile and heracross nodded, chikorita was cornered, "make sure if you try anything against any of them, you shall feel our wrath" cyndaquil said protectively, chikorita lowered her head in shame and nodded, "sorry guys, i will behave from now on" she said, all pokemon nodded, "we hope so chikorita" totodile said.
Misty returned to the room, Ash sat next to her, "hey Misty, you sure you are all right? Maybe you should see a doctor" Ash comented, Misty smiled, "im ok really, must be something i ate" Misty said, of course she knew the real reason"Nicole didnt have any problems" Misty cursed softly, "with what?" Ash asked her, she blushed, "er, with training her...um...pikachu, thats it, her pikachu" Misty giggeled, Ash was concerned, and pikachu smiled to himself, "what do you know that i dont?" Ash asked the young pokemon.
Misty was exhausted and had stayed in bed until late in the morning, but it was time she stood ujp and got something to eat, she walked torwards the living room and saw Ash talking over the phone, Misty walked torwards him when she saw Tracey's face on the screen, he seemd much altered and had problems to build words, "Tracey, calm down and tell me at once what going on" Ash said trying to understand the message, "its Nicole...she...oh gosh, you gotta come...i mean" Tracey started, When Misty heard Nicole's name, she walked torwards Ash, "vulpix, vulpixvul, vulpivulpixvul" vulpix said pushing Tracey out of the screen, "pika?pikapika, pikachu, chaapikachu" pikachu said, vulpix nodded and Tracey sweatdropped, "yeah, i bet thats it, ok guys, bye" Tracey ran out without hanging the phone, thing that a very concerned bulbasaur said, Ash and Misty sweatdropped, "pikapikachu" pikachu started writting on a paper, "it says Nicole is in the hospital, she has had her baby tonight" Misty read, Ash was both surprised and excited, "wow, cool lets go visit them" he said, "hold on till i get dressed pokemon master" Misty said running torwards her room, after she got a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, both of them drived torwards the hospital in Ash's car, when they got there everyone had already arrived. Ash walked torwards Ken, "hey yo, how did you understood Tracey's message?" Ash asked curiously, "articuno translated" Ken answered, they all spotted Tracey walking up and down the corridor, "Tracey, calm down, you are making me dizzy" Rose complained, "i cant help it" Tracey said, after almost half an hour, the doctors came out, "congratulations, its a girl" he told Ash, "er, excuse me, but im not the father, its him" he said pointing at Tracey, the young artist ran inside the room stepping over the doctor, the rest of them walked in carefully, they saw Nicole with a tired look in her face and in her arms a little baby, with a white skin and dark soft hair, "awww, its so cute" Justine said, Misty just looked arround, "we decided to name her Stefanie Squetchit, i will make this official, cya fellas" Tracey said and ran off, "Steff, sounds good" Ash comented, "come here Misty, want to hold her?" Nicole said, Misty hesitated but decided that it wouldnt hurt her, with a smile, she held the baby in her arms and couldnt help think she was the cutest baby she had ever seen, Nicole winked, "want to hold her Ash?" Nicole asked, Ash was surprised, "well, i dont think i know how to..." Ash said, "come on, i will show you, look" she said, she guided Misty to place the delicate creature on Ash's arms, Ash smiled, "look Misty, she is sweet, right? Misty?" Ash said, but Misty was gone.
Misty was walking alone across the corridor, but as usual Mew appeared giving her the firght of her life, "ok, Mew, willl you pease stop that?" Misty complained, "no, and anyways, why dont you tell Ash? He liked the baby and im sure he wouldnt mind having one" Mew said, Misty gave mew the evil eye, "mew, i cant just go and tell him, its not like telling him i got a new seel" Misty said, "Misty, he loves you, come on"mew said, Ash ran after her, pikachu scented the way, and finally he spotted her, "woah, Misty, hey, whats wrong?" Ash asked, "nothing Ash" she said sadly, "why are you like that wats wrong, Misty? You have been all weird since you knew Nicole was going to have a baby, and now we hold her and you leave all depressed, whats wrong Misty?" Ash insisted, "its nothing really" Misty answere raising her tone a bit, "you cant have babies, is that it?" Ash asked seriously but softly, Misty looked at him and smilled slightly, "no its not that" Misty answered, "tell him, Misty, you cant keep it forever" Mew said, Ash was confused, "tell me what?" he asked, finaly Misty held him from the hand and both of them sat down on the chairs, "ok Ash, remember that night when we made the party for your mastery license?" Misty asked, "yeah, but i dont remember anything after the guests left, i was too sleepy" Ash answered, "well, something kinda happened...between us" Misty said, Ash was getting a lisghtly clue of what she was trying to tell him, "well, and now im kinda...going to have a baby too" Misty finally spitted after a deep sight, Ash was too stunned to react, and Misty thought he was not happy, she stoodup and started to walk away, "i understand, you are too young to have a son" Misty said, "me? With a son?" Ash said to himself, he spotted Misty walking away and ran torwards her, she pulled her arm and made her turn arround, then he kissed her passionately, "Ash, i" she started but he didnt let her finished, she held her by the waist and spinned arround, "this is wonderful Misty, just great, ive been thinking on asking you to start making a family but thought you would refuse" Ash said, Misty smiled happily, "really? Oh Ash" she said and hugged him, "ok, lets go tell the others" Ash decided, then both walked torwards the group, Ash's arm was arround her waist and Misty's head resting over his shoulder.
Mew sighted, "oh well, i love happy endings" he said, "who said this was the ending?" a voice said, he turned arround and saw vulpix standing there, "there are loads of stuff to do still, so, see you in the next chapter" vulpix said with a smile, "bout you wont be there" mew said, "i wont be the main character any longer, but i will appear sometimes" vulpix said, "oh well, see you in the next chapter readers" mew said and he disappeared while vulpix trotted next to Ash and Misty.
Afterwards in Ash and Misty's home, everything was getting ready for the dinner, there were many people already there, between them they could see prof. Oak, Dhelia Ketchum, Ritchie, Duplica, Todd, even Gary Oak was there, there were also their friends, Ken and Rose, Charlie, Justine, and oviously their pokemon.

Oh well, then i wil have to talk with him" Dhelia said, "oh no, its not necesary, i am sure when it has to come, it will" Misty said, Dhelia nodded smiling. After a sing from pikachu they all sat by the table, "ok, i am very proud to tell you that after defeating the Jhoto league, the Orange league and being between the first 16 in the Kanto league, i have gotten finally the mastry license, wich means i am already considered a pokemon master" Ash said showing his diploma, everyone cheered, then they took dinner and after they started drinking, Nicole didnt like alcohol so she just drank some tea, same with Misty, and mostly the girls who mainly took a little cup´of chamapgne, or similars, but the men did drink those alcoholic stuff, like rakia, and chanpagne, and some really strong stuff like grog, Ash was old enough to drink, but he didnt know his organism was not ready for loads of alcohol, he drank a bit too much, and although he was on his senses he was not as much as when sober, but you couldnt tell, same with Gary and Ritchie who decided to contest on who could drink in one gulp, but the girls stopped them soon enough luckily.

Ash said annoyed, "oh i dont know, you know pokemon, maybe they said a joke about you or something" Misty said blushing slightly.
Days were passing by, and the birth day for Nicole's and Tracey's daughter was very close, both were so nervous about being parents, but they seemed to take it pretty well, of course, Tracey was the caring person who wouldnt let Nicole even move to go take some water, and Nicole was a very independent and nervous person who liked to move and walk.

Dont worry about this any longer" Nicoel said giving her a comforting hug, Misty smiled a bit and let.
She walked home and on her way she bought a predictor, when she got home she used it and waited for the result to show up, she didnt have to worry about Ash seeing it because he had let earlier to do some things in the lab. Not much later she went to check the results and almost fell down, her face was pale like the wall and she had to lean over the toilt so she wouldnt fall, "oh for lugia's sake, its true, i am" she said, her words faded as she heard Ash's keys on the lock, she quickly threw the predictor away and went to greet her boyfriend, "hi Mist, hey, whats wrong?" he asked when he saw the colour, or should i say the colorlesss face of his girlfriend, "hu?

Ash asked now realy annoyed, "i told you nothing, now please, im just a bit tired, i didnt have a good night" Misty excused and went to sit on the sofa, Ash went to get changed, but he was worried, he couldnt understand the sudden behaviour of his once passionate girlfriend.
Later that night, Nicole received a phone call from Misty, she picked it up and turned on the screen, "hey, hi Misty how are you?" She asked joyfully, Misty answered with a very soft fine, thank you, but Nicole noticed at the expresion in her face that she was NOT fine, "Misty, tell me what is wrong?" Nicole asked, Misty turned her face at her, "well, remember what i told you this morning?" Misty started, "yeah, what about it?" Nicole asked again, "well, it gave me...a positive result" Misty said and covered her face with her hands, "oh Misty, thats not bad, its wonderful" Nicole said, "not that great, i still didnt tell Ash" Misty said, suddenly she heard a voice behind her, "didnt tell me what?" Ash asked, Misty turned arround surprised and almost leapt off the seat, "oh, its nothing really, i will call you later Nocle, cya" Misty said with a fake smile. Ash sat on the sofa and motioned Misty to sit next to him, she did soe and he passed an arm arround her waist, "misty, i can tell when something is not right, and i know something isnt right, tell me please, is it something bad?" Ash asked, Misty smiled at him "its nothing Ash, really" Misty said, Ash looked at her with those i-know-you-more-than-that look, she sighted "ok, its something, very little, very VERY little, but id rather tell you once im completely sure" Misty said with a little trace of a smile playing in her lips, Ash looked at her now more worried than befreo "is it something bad?

Misty then looked blankly at the TV screen while Ash took a zip of his cola drink, "Ash, do you think i would be a good mother?" Misty asked, Ash choked with his own drink, then he looked at Misty once he was able to breathe, "well, i think you would be an excellent mother, why?" Ash finally answered, Misty smiled, "its nothing Ash, i was just wondering".
Things were not going the best way for Misty, arround a week after she slightly confessed Ash, who still didnt had a clue, she started feeling worse. Ash had just left to his daily job, and Misty was home studying to become a pokemon journalist, pikachu was next o her, observing with a big grin, Misty noticed that and looked at the little rodent "ok, pikachu, will you stop looking at me like that?" she said siling, pikachu shook his head, "you think i should tell Ash, right?" Misty said, pikachu nodded with a "pika" "never" Misty answered and went back on writting some stuff, pikachu went in front of her and pointed at her stomach "ok, i know i wont be able to keep it a secret forever, but im not ready now" Misty said, pikachu nodded and sat on the chair next to hers. Misty then started feeling dizzy, the letters in the book turned arround like a poliwhirl's belly, she lowered her head to let the blood drain in her head, pikachu noticed and walked torwards her noticeably worried "its ok, pikachu, im better, il just lay down on the sofa and it will be fine" Misty said, she layed on the sofa and eventuallly dozed off, pikachu would stay with her all time.
Bulbasaur came in, he has been eating some leaves in the garden, he noticed pikachu worried over sleeping Misty, so he started to worry himself, "hey, pikachu, what is wrong?" bulbasaur asked, "i dont know, hope she will be fine" pikachu answered, "you think its because of that?" bulbasaur asked, "hope so" pikachu answered, chikorita just happened to walk by "she deserves it" she said in a very harsh tone, "chikorita, you know you are a pokemon, you cant go out with Ash, why dont you go out with bulbasaur?" Pikachu yelled, "what?...EWWWWW"bulbasaur said sticking his tounge out, "never" Chikorita said, sudenly cyndaquil appeared by too, "hey wassup?" she said, "where did you learn that?"pikachu asked, "oh, on TV" cyndaquil said scratching her head and blushing slightly from embarrasment, "anyways, cya arround suckers" chikorita said before leavign torwards the garden, "uh, what is wrong with her?" cyndaquil asked, "jeallows, i presume" pikachu answered, "sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt have been better if she was captured by team rocket" bulbasaur answered, "i even got to think she was related with Gary" pikachu said, the two pokemon sicghted while the fire rodent stared with a quizzy look on her face.
A key turned arround the keylock and oppened the door, Ash entered the house happily, Misty ran torwards him and hugged him, Ash kissed her gently, "hey, Mist, how has the day been?" he asked joyfully, "oh, pretty good" Misty answered, "by the way, i have been kinda busy so i ordered chinese food" Misty said, "great, i always love that stuff" Ash said and placed his bag in the wardrove, and helped Misty put the table, they both sat down enjoying the food, however Misty started feeling bad again, Ash noticed, "Mist, are you ok? You arent eating a thing, and you look like a block of snow" she said, Misty smiled, "im ok Ash, dont worry" she said, however she had the awful need to throw the food, and rushed torwards the bathroom, Ash looked at pikachu, "im worried pikapal, is she hiding something from me?" Ash asked, pikachu shook his head worried, however chikorita gave them an evil eye, "you are going to pay for this" chikorita comented to herself, a wing attack nocked her over "thats what you think" noctowl said, chikorita looked at him ready to battle "you..." she started "ah ah, it seems like you were going for a houndour but got lost in the way, however, im going to teach you some manners, and how to treat your masters, young lady"noctowl said, "how, if i may know?" chikorita yelled, "with our help" bulbasaur said, and cyndaquil, totodile and heracross nodded, chikorita was cornered, "make sure if you try anything against any of them, you shall feel our wrath" cyndaquil said protectively, chikorita lowered her head in shame and nodded, "sorry guys, i will behave from now on" she said, all pokemon nodded, "we hope so chikorita" totodile said.
Misty returned to the room, Ash sat next to her, "hey Misty, you sure you are all right? Maybe you should see a doctor" Ash comented, Misty smiled, "im ok really, must be something i ate" Misty said, of course she knew the real reason"Nicole didnt have any problems" Misty cursed softly, "with what?" Ash asked her, she blushed, "er, with training her...um...pikachu, thats it, her pikachu" Misty giggeled, Ash was concerned, and pikachu smiled to himself, "what do you know that i dont?" Ash asked the young pokemon.
Misty was exhausted and had stayed in bed until late in the morning, but it was time she stood ujp and got something to eat, she walked torwards the living room and saw Ash talking over the phone, Misty walked torwards him when she saw Tracey's face on the screen, he seemd much altered and had problems to build words, "Tracey, calm down and tell me at once what going on" Ash said trying to understand the message, "its Nicole...she...oh gosh, you gotta come...i mean" Tracey started, When Misty heard Nicole's name, she walked torwards Ash, "vulpix, vulpixvul, vulpivulpixvul" vulpix said pushing Tracey out of the screen, "pika?pikapika, pikachu, chaapikachu" pikachu said, vulpix nodded and Tracey sweatdropped, "yeah, i bet thats it, ok guys, bye" Tracey ran out without hanging the phone, thing that a very concerned bulbasaur said, Ash and Misty sweatdropped, "pikapikachu" pikachu started writting on a paper, "it says Nicole is in the hospital, she has had her baby tonight" Misty read, Ash was both surprised and excited, "wow, cool lets go visit them" he said, "hold on till i get dressed pokemon master" Misty said running torwards her room, after she got a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, both of them drived torwards the hospital in Ash's car, when they got there everyone had already arrived. Ash walked torwards Ken, "hey yo, how did you understood Tracey's message?" Ash asked curiously, "articuno translated" Ken answered, they all spotted Tracey walking up and down the corridor, "Tracey, calm down, you are making me dizzy" Rose complained, "i cant help it" Tracey said, after almost half an hour, the doctors came out, "congratulations, its a girl" he told Ash, "er, excuse me, but im not the father, its him" he said pointing at Tracey, the young artist ran inside the room stepping over the doctor, the rest of them walked in carefully, they saw Nicole with a tired look in her face and in her arms a little baby, with a white skin and dark soft hair, "awww, its so cute" Justine said, Misty just looked arround, "we decided to name her Stefanie Squetchit, i will make this official, cya fellas" Tracey said and ran off, "Steff, sounds good" Ash comented, "come here Misty, want to hold her?" Nicole said, Misty hesitated but decided that it wouldnt hurt her, with a smile, she held the baby in her arms and couldnt help think she was the cutest baby she had ever seen, Nicole winked, "want to hold her Ash?" Nicole asked, Ash was surprised, "well, i dont think i know how to..." Ash said, "come on, i will show you, look" she said, she guided Misty to place the delicate creature on Ash's arms, Ash smiled, "look Misty, she is sweet, right? Misty?" Ash said, but Misty was gone.
Misty was walking alone across the corridor, but as usual Mew appeared giving her the firght of her life, "ok, Mew, willl you pease stop that?" Misty complained, "no, and anyways, why dont you tell Ash? He liked the baby and im sure he wouldnt mind having one" Mew said, Misty gave mew the evil eye, "mew, i cant just go and tell him, its not like telling him i got a new seel" Misty said, "Misty, he loves you, come on"mew said, Ash ran after her, pikachu scented the way, and finally he spotted her, "woah, Misty, hey, whats wrong?" Ash asked, "nothing Ash" she said sadly, "why are you like that wats wrong, Misty? You have been all weird since you knew Nicole was going to have a baby, and now we hold her and you leave all depressed, whats wrong Misty?" Ash insisted, "its nothing really" Misty answere raising her tone a bit, "you cant have babies, is that it?" Ash asked seriously but softly, Misty looked at him and smilled slightly, "no its not that" Misty answered, "tell him, Misty, you cant keep it forever" Mew said, Ash was confused, "tell me what?" he asked, finaly Misty held him from the hand and both of them sat down on the chairs, "ok Ash, remember that night when we made the party for your mastery license?" Misty asked, "yeah, but i dont remember anything after the guests left, i was too sleepy" Ash answered, "well, something kinda happened...between us" Misty said, Ash was getting a lisghtly clue of what she was trying to tell him, "well, and now im kinda...going to have a baby too" Misty finally spitted after a deep sight, Ash was too stunned to react, and Misty thought he was not happy, she stoodup and started to walk away, "i understand, you are too young to have a son" Misty said, "me? With a son?" Ash said to himself, he spotted Misty walking away and ran torwards her, she pulled her arm and made her turn arround, then he kissed her passionately, "Ash, i" she started but he didnt let her finished, she held her by the waist and spinned arround, "this is wonderful Misty, just great, ive been thinking on asking you to start making a family but thought you would refuse" Ash said, Misty smiled happily, "really? Oh Ash" she said and hugged him, "ok, lets go tell the others" Ash decided, then both walked torwards the group, Ash's arm was arround her waist and Misty's head resting over his shoulder.
Mew sighted, "oh well, i love happy endings" he said, "who said this was the ending?" a voice said, he turned arround and saw vulpix standing there, "there are loads of stuff to do still, so, see you in the next chapter" vulpix said with a smile, "bout you wont be there" mew said, "i wont be the main character any longer, but i will appear sometimes" vulpix said, "oh well, see you in the next chapter readers" mew said and he disappeared while vulpix trotted next to Ash and Misty.
