Ash walked through the mansion on crutches. He frowned about what had happened a week before.
******Flash Back****** Jessica made one of her pokemon dolls dance on the floor of her bedroom. Ash was standing in the doorway, watching his daughter play. She picked up a doll dress and put it on a Pikachu doll.
He laughed. Jessica had put the dress on his Pikachu, not a doll. Pikachu pulled at the cloth, trying to get it off. She giggled and pulled it off of the poor mouse pokemon. It ran from the room.
"Ash! Can you come help me with this bike!" May yelled from down stairs.
"I'll be right down!" Ash called. He looked at Jessica. "I'll be back."
Jessica looked up. Ash smiled and walked out. He got to the stairs.
"What's the matter with it?" he asked.
"Just get down here!" May yelled.
"Jessica really has to be more careful!" Ash sighed. Houndoor was lying on the step that he stepped onto. It jumped up. Ash fell and tumbled down the staircase.
May looked around the corner to see what happened. The color drained out of her face. She hurried to her fallen husband's side. Ash groaned. He put a hand up to his face.
When he withdrew, blood dripped from his fingertips. May collapsed down onto the floor. She placed his head on her lap. "Are you alright?" she asked.
"Do I look it?" Ash asked. May frowned. She took some tissue out of her pocket and wiped the blood of his face.
"You've got a nose bleed," May said. She took some more tissue out and put it to his nose. Ash looked at his foot. It was wedged in two railing bars.
Ash tried to pull his foot out from the railing. He screamed at the top of his lungs as pain shot through him. May pulled her fingers through his hair. "Don't, Ash," she said.
Houndoor crept down the stairs. It put a paw on Ash's ankle, making him scream again. May had never heard him scream in so much pain. She shooed the Houndoor away.
Jessica looked down the stairs at them. She was about to come down when May said, "Jessica, no! Stay up there!"
For the first time in her life, Jessica ignored the orders and came down the stairs. She took hold of one of the bars holding Ash in his place and pulled. Even with all her might, it wouldn't budge. Pikachu climbed up next to her.
With both of them pulling it, the bar broke off and fell to the floor. May helped Ash pulled his foot from the railing. Ash sat up on the floor.
Ash tried to stand up, but failed in doing so. May helped him up onto his other foot. He took hold of her shoulder, steadying himself. She got him to the couch, where he collapsed onto it.
May sat down next to Ash. He lied back down, his head on May's lap again. She picked up the phone to call for an ambulance.
When May hung the phone up, she started pulling her fingers through Ash's hair again. He tried as hard as he could to ignore the intense pain.
May heard someone pull up. The door swung open to reveal a man in his late thirties-early forties. He walked over to them. "What happened?" he asked.
"Oh, Mr. Pokemon Master here fell down the stairs," May said. Ash muttered. The man put a hand on Ash's foot. He screamed again. That time, tears streamed down his cheeks, mixing with the blood from his nose.
The man recoiled. He called for a helper to get in there. A young woman walked over to them. "This is a new doctor at the hospital. Her name is Jazzie and my name is Sammy," he said.
"Do you know what's the matter?" Jazzie asked.
"Not exactly. I think he might have broken or sprang his ankle." Sammy said, "It could be worst then I think, though."
"Should I get the ambulance's stretcher?" Jazzie asked.
"It depends.." Sammy said. Ash sat up and looked at them.
"I can walk, you know," Ash said. He stood up, falling to the floor the minute he was up. May looked at him.
"Don't do that!" she scolded. Ash looked at her. He climbed back up, keeping hold of the couch.
Ash wasn't about to quit trying. He kept all his weight on the foot that wasn't hurt. May stood up next to him. She saw that he was gritting his teeth, keeping from screaming again.
Ash took hold of May's shoulder. She took a step forward, as Ash took his own step. Jazzie got in front of them, stopping them. "If you would let me go get-" she started.
"I've been through worst then this. I almost drowned to death. A friend of mine got me out. Afterwards, I had to climb up a hill to get somewhere. Did I ask for help? NO! I CLIMBED UP ON MY OWN, WITH NO HELP!" Ash snarled.
Jazzie cringed. "Just let me get him to the ambulance," May said.
She nodded. May helped Ash to the door. Sammy opened it as wide as it would go. Jazzie watched as they got to the ambulance.
Ash leaned back against the ambulance. Jazzie and Sammy opened the doors. May got him into the ambulance. "I'll see you at the hospital," she said.
******End of Flash Back******
Ash frowned. The brown haired girl bunny hopped next to him. He howled in pain when she bumped into him. "I'm sorry, Daddy," she cried.
"That's.alright.Jess," Ash said. Jessica stopped bunny hopping and walked normally.
"Ash?" May asked. She walked in the door. Ash came over with Jessica.
"Mommy!" Jessica yelled. She ran to May and hugged her.
"Hi, May," Ash said.
"Let me guess, Jess hit you again?" May asked. Ash nodded.
"That bone ain't gonna heal if that keeps up," he said. May smiled.
"Oh well, it'll just take a few more months then usual to heal," she said.
"Yeah, a few more months of having this cast on then wanted," Ash grumbled. May frowned.
"Well, I think I'll wait a little while before I tell you something I found out the day after you fell. It wouldn't help with your mood at the moment," May said. Ash rolled his eyes.
"Just tell me," he said.
"Ash, we're having another baby," May said. Ash smiled.
"Why didn't you tell me that when you found out?" he asked.
"Well, I was busy taking care of Jessica and hurrying to the pharmacy to get pain medicine for you," May said.
"Anyway, why don't we keep it quiet for a while?" Ash suggested.
"Alright," May said. The phone rang.
Ash turned the phone on. "Hello? Ash?"
It was James. Jessie, James, and Meowth had quit from Team Rocket and was now working at the pokemon ministry. James's job was to tell Ash about when he was to go to the stadium for a battle or when he had to leave for a meeting. Meowth was the record keeper of the battles and Jessie was secretary.
"What is it, James?" Ash asked.
"The gym leaders and the Elite Four want to have a meeting with you in Lavender Town," James said. Ash frowned.
"James, you know that I just recently hurt myself and can't be traveling that far," Ash said.
"Yes, I know. They're getting pretty persistent about these meetings, though," James said.
"Well tell them I can't," Ash said.
"Yes, Ash," James said. Ash hung up. He looked at May.
"Do I ever get to take a break?" he asked. May smiled.
"No."
Ash gave May a strange look. She smiled.
"Why don't we all get a little sleep?" Ash suggested.
May nodded. Jessica ran over to the stairs. Ash and May walked over. He handed May his left crutch and went up the left side of the stairs, hanging onto the railing.
Jessica skipped up each step. May followed behind them. Ash waited.
They climbed up the stairs. May got Jessica into her bed and shut the door. She walked to Ash.
Ash walked into May and his own bedroom. He sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning the crutches against the wall. May walked in and shut the door.
Ash put his left leg up on the bed. He grabbed his right knee and pulled his right foot up and got completely on the bed. May sat down next to him.
May leaned back against Ash. He hugged her. They lied on the bed together. Ash could smell something like roses.
"May, by chance, are you wearing that perfume I got ya?" Ash asked.
"Yes. Why? Does it bother you?" May said.
"Of course not! I it did, I wouldn't of got it for you!" he said, laughing. May shut her eyes.
Ash and May fell in a tranquil sleep together. It took 20 minutes for Ash to wake up from the throbbing pain in his leg. He looked at the bottle of pain medicine on the nightstand.
He carefully tried to get the bottle. It was just a few inches away from his hand. Ash searched for Pikachu's poke ball in his pocket.
Ash let the mouse out. "Will you get me that bottle there?" he asked.
Pikachu jumped over onto the nightstand. It picked up the bottle and
brought it over. Ash opened it and took out two pills. He popped them into his mouth and shut the bottle.
Ash returned Pikachu to its poke ball. He put the poke ball away and went back to sleep.
