Disclaimer: I own NotHIng! Except fer the origanl characters I made up of course.....and the story plot.
WAIT!! Before you read this chapter I just want to tell you something funny, in the spanish version of Pokemon, James pronouces his name like this Jamesmamames. Really! Say it out loud! It's funny! I also found out that I have the same birthday as the guy who voice acts James, in English...many of you won't care, but I think thats neat! I mean what are the odds? Hmm...I think that's about it...so go on and read the fic!...I think I'm hyped up today...my apologies.

"O-O-our child!?" James spluttered out in laughter "This isn't possible...a dream, yes! A nightmare!" He looked at the nymph straight into her eyes "A nightmare, right?"
"Sorry, you're awake hon." The nymph traced her fingers along his chest. At this James suddenly stopped his laughter and began to panic, a child? His? He couldn't even take care of himself!
"No, no nooo. Don't say that! I don't want to be awake! Just go away and let me be!" James backed away from the creature. The nymph raised her eyebrow at his sudden mood swing.
"Can't. You're a part of me now, but this child is yours, whether you like it or not." She scooted closer to James. "Here, just take a look at her." James flinched as she passed over the baby to him; the blanket was ice cold.
"She'll get a fever with this blanket, or she could even die." James offered this advice to the mother; he finally caught sight of his daughter. She was beautiful, she had his eyes and her head had light blue fuzz growing atop.
"So? It's not like I intend to keep her alive. She's human!" The nymph cried. "I can't have a human as my heir! They can't even survive underwater! All that waiting for nothing." She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, then her eyes lit up. "I know we can try until we get it right! My genes have to be dominant at one point or another!"
"What!? I'm not getting anywhere near you! And I won't let you harm my daughter." He growled.
"Yours? Honey it's ours, but I'll change that, hand her over."
"NO! Why did you even bother to show her to me if you plan to kill her?"
"Simple. I wanted for you to see what I'm capable of creating with you. Only you. I've tried with Pokémon and other humans, but for some reason only you accomplished this. Now come and hand over the little one and let me kill her. We can have others if you wish." She made a hand motion that said 'Come on, don't be afraid'.
"Others?! Don't you understand? I never wanted this! I just can't see you kill an innocent child all because she's human! In case you haven't noticed I'm human too!"
"That's it. Hand her over or I'll have to take her by force." The dark nymph was getting frustrated at her 'lover'.
"Take your best shot." James spat holding his daughter close to him.

~ Netiur's Minion's POV~
I watched, hoping to see bloodshed, but I knew Netiur would never cause harm to that boy. She told me that she loved him; that's a bunch of Tauros. She has never loved anyone, all lies. The boy's father was smart, he could see through her lies, and he even told his Pikachu to keep her imprisoned within the lake's boundaries. She asked her Gyrados to create a river that led to the boy's estate, but she soon found that the lake that was in front of his estate also had boundaries. Oooohhh, how she was angry almost gave me a bruise that time.
"Por?" I turned at the sound of my own child, my little Quateri. She still had that look of innocence within her. It made me sick. Yet, in spite of that I still loved her. I turned back to the quarrel that was happening before me; it seems that my master has decide to give up her innocent act. She formed a small puddle of water in her hand and called me over. I went, already knowing her plan of destroying the human child. Pity, I had to take care for it. If I had known sooner I probably wouldn't have. I formed an ice spear out of the small puddle of water and gave it back to my master.
"Thank you Squair, I will be sure to reward you later." My master replied as I finished my work. I shrugged and walked back to my cub, she was squealing up a storm! I guess she had gotten attached to the young human. I sighed, and went on to look and watch my master perform her work on the child, she had the boy frozen in place so he couldn't run, by a Tentacool. I kept watching, bored and wondering why she wouldn't quicken her pace, 'Just get it over with fool' I shouted in my head. My cub still wouldn't shut up and my Mew, I also started to get anxious and excited. I was wondering why now? I looked into the boy's face and saw a determined and a look of fear upon it. I hesitated—it reminded me of that time when Netiur almost harmed my cub.
"Por, por, vap." My child was speaking to me, asking me to save the child. I finally figured it out, Mew had decided to finally give me a conscience, and I hated it! You're so much weaker with one, but I figured Mew had her reasons and so with one last look at my child I stood and went to do the work Mew required me to do.
***********
The nymph was slowly closing in on James, holding her small ice spear in her hand. The Tentacool kept James still as he tried to run back towards his camp; he tried to keep the young child away from the dark nymph.
"Now James, you'll get over her. I'm sure of it! We can have so much more, you won't get hurt if you just hand her over." The nymph smiled and kneeled down in front of James, stroking his hair and as so she called out, "Tentacool won't you hold on to him a little tighter, around the arms not the legs...so he can let go of his 'daughter'." The Tentacool did so; James tried to struggle, but sadly he failed to escape the binds of the Tentacool.
"NO! Leave her alone!" James cried tears already running down his face. The nymph smiled as she plucked the child from James's side and she twirled the ice spear in her hand.
"Well James here is to good fortune." She held up the spear right above the baby and plunged it downwards straight through it's heart. With a final cry the baby fell silent.
This would have happened if it weren't for the Vaporeon's betrayal that saved the child. As the nymph was about to strike the child, the Vaporeon shot an Ice Beam towards the evil creature. It knocked out the spear in her hand; Squair's child in the meantime helped James out of his bind. The nymph screamed in anger and turned to attack her former minion, but before she could do anything James took the child from her arms and sprinted away.
"FOOL!!" She cried out in anger as Squair kept up her attacks. James started running in place, feeling that if he left the nymph would unleash her anger upon the Pokémon that saved him and his daughter. The Vaporeon saw this and sent her daughter to run to the human. The child refused at first but was soon convinced as her mother nipped her on her tail. Squair nodded at the human, encouraging him to continue on without her. James stopped his running in place and picked up the young Vaporeon. In both of his arms were two children, both with mothers. Though the mothers were extremely different. James then sprinted back towards his camp, stopping suddenly as he heard a cry of hurt. A cry that belonged to a Pokémon, that sounded suspiciously like a Vaporeon. The young Vaporeon whined softly and tried to run back towards her mother, but James held on tight. He let the tears fall for the fallen Pokémon, and continued on his way…hoping he could find comfort with Jessie.
***********
Ahhh...sleep....dreams....peace. Jessie smiled as she slept and felt all her troubles washing away. Nothing can ever hurt you in sleep; for if you were the likely thing is that you would wake. Jessie was in a peaceful field with James and Meowth, and they were having a picnic. Eating everything they could carry with them, James was eating his rice cakes as usual, and Meowth was chasing a mini Butterfree with his net. Jessie smiled and closed her eyes and sighed happily, but she then heard a faint crunch within the bushes. She waved it away thinking it to be nothing, then she heard it coming closer...it was a Beedrill! She screamed and started to get up to warn her team mates, but the Beedrill got to her first and it stung her again...and again...and again.
Jessie woke up with a start and as her eyes focused together she noticed that instead of the Beedrill it was James. She started to ask him what was wrong and also to complain at the early wake up, but then she noticed the two living things in his arms.
"James, wha--?" Jessie asked, blinking repeatedly.
"Oh, um Jessie this is my daughter and this is a Vaporeon..." as soon as he said that James felt at how stupid that sounded.
"Yea I could see that--YOUR DAUGHTER!?" Jessie screamed in surprise.
"Um yes...Jessie we have to get out of here quick! Someone is coming and--"
James was broke off as Jessie put her thoughts in the conversation.
"James, who...what...James." Not a very intelligent input to the conversation, but one none the less.
"Look Jess, I'll explain everything later, but now we have to go." James reached for Jessie's arm but she pulled away. James noticed that she had a hurt look on her face. "Jess?"
"I-I-I'm sorry James, but I can't." she croaked, her throat starting to swell up with sadness.
"Jess? What-What do you mean?" James tried to look into her eyes for answers but couldn't find any.
"I'm going to go, back to TR HQ with Meowth, I'm sorry but I can't do this with you." Jessie left James as she went to get her supplies, tears running down her face. James set the Vaporeon down and went to go talk with Jessie.
"What? Why...Jessie?"
"I think you know, James." She strained his name out so much that James cringed. She picked up her sleeping bag and a knapsack that contained all of her personal items. She then walked up to James sleeping bag and picked up his Pokéballs. "I'm sorry James, but these no longer belongs to you." James hardly noticed her taking the Pokéballs, all he was watching was Jessie. James wondered if she was actually serious about her choice.
"Jessie..." James pleaded, not wanting to see his best friend leave him, just like everyone else.
Jessie walked past him and as she did so brushed against his arm, purposely. She went up to the sleeping cat and placed him on her head, "G-Goodbye James." She whispered and walked away quickly before James could convince her to stay.
Another reason was so he couldn't see her tears.
James stood where he was shocked; of all people...he thought Jessie was the one. The one who would always stay by his side. So now...he was alone. The baby squirmed in his arms and the Vaporeon rubbed against his legs, consoling him. Well maybe not completely alone.

Now, don't hate me! The thing said Rocketshippy and I'm sure it'll get Rocketshippy! Positive in fact! Remember back in Chapter 2 when I said the story is barely beginning? Yea well I think here..yes here..this is where the story begins ^_-. Who said Friday the 13 was unlucky? Oh yes thank you for your reviews and...I would love to see more from you ^_^. Thanks again!
Nova-chan: I'm glad you're back, that Mew...so giving. Thank you for reviewing on C'est La Vie..ment a lot for me. I hope to continue on seeing your reviews! Thanks again!
Thorned Rose: Merci pour tout...of your help..heh. I know only a little bit of French ^_^'' I'm glad you've been enjoying my story, and I hope to see more of yours soon!
Windra: Really? What show? Ah, well I hope to see more of your fics, present and future ones. I really enjoyed Bad Moon Rising..it was neat XB, oo and thank you for your review!
Rocket Brat: Wow! Thank you for your lenghty review! So you're confused, eh? Don't worry all will be explained soon enough. The thing with Mew is that instead of filling my work with cuss words or some things that may disrespect some folks, I try to replace 'em with sayings that they would probably use in the Pokemon world. Although there probably will be a few more curses and junk..I just didn't want to make my fic filled with them. Also Mew is kind of considered like the god of the Pokemon and well thats why when they say 'Oh Mew!' it's just an expressioin =P
