Okay, with all that out of the way, here it is.
Chapter 6
After that one night with Ash, Misty felt like she was on top of the world. She never knew it could feel so good to do that with Ash, and feel so right at the same time. In fact, she had never done that in her entire life. When she had learned about it, she had decided to not do it, until she was married, and she would only do it with the one she loved.
Misty even wondered if that one time actually did it for her. However, she knew that she would have to wait a few days before it was confirmed, and so she waited, until she was sure a home pregnancy test could confirm it.
A few days later, Misty decided to take a home pregnancy test. She was so sure it would turn out to be positive, but when it turned out to be negative, she became a little disappointed. She then stepped out of the bathroom, where Ash was waiting for the answer.
"Well?" Ash asked when he saw Misty come out.
"Negative." Misty answered in a sad tone.
"Hey, don't be so down Misty." Ash said, trying to cheer her up. "So we failed this time, but remember, not everyone becomes pregnant after their first try, right?"
Misty then smiled. "You're right, Ash. We'll just try again."
"That's the spirit, Misty. We'll try again."
"Tonight?"
"Yea, tonight."
So that night, Ash and Misty tried again. A few days later, Misty took another home pregnancy test, and it said negative. They tried again, negative. After twenty tries, all coming up negative, Misty was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with one of them. She wondered if she had a condition that she didn't know about. She wasn't sure. She knew Ash had been trying all sorts of techniques to increase their chances, and still, nothing was working. She decided to talk to Ash about it during dinner.
That night, Ash had cooked a steak for dinner. Brock had taught him out to cook with a barbecue. Misty liked it best at the medium area, and that's where Ash always cooked it at. In fact, Ash had always cooked it in such a way, that Misty couldn't resist even having a bite of it, but when she wasn't even touching it, he knew that something was wrong.
"You okay, Misty?" Ash asked Misty, noticing that she wasn't eating.
"Ash, the test showed negative again. That's the twentieth time. I think there might be something wrong with one of us, but I'm not sure what." Misty said in a sad tone.
Ash thought about this, and knew that she was right. He was sure something was wrong with one of them as well. It did seem a bit unnatural that Misty wasn't pregnat yet. They had been trying so hard, and nothing was happening.
"I think that you may be right, Misty. It does seem a bit unnatural. I'll set up an appointment with Dr. Haydon. I'm sure he'll be able to figure out what's wrong." Ash said in a serious tone.
"Thanks for understanding, Ash." Misty said, knowing that they were going to be doing something about it.
The two then resume eating their meal. Which Misty enjoyed every bite of.
A few days later, they went to see Dr. Haydon, a light skinned, 55 year-old man, who is one of the best in the medical field. Misty had known Dr. Haydon all her life. He was the family doctor. They had to meet him over at the Cerulean Medical Center. The Cerulean Medical Center was 5 stories high. It was pretty ordinary on the outside. On the inside, there were light blue tiles, and the walls were white.
After about half an hour of waiting, Ash and Misty were in Dr. Haydon's office. He was wearing his white lab coat. Underneath it, was a white shirt, and black dress pants. One could easily tell you that he was bald, with nothing but white hair near his ears, and wore glasses as well. He was wondering why they had to see him; they both looked to be very well.
"So, why did you come to see me today? Anything wrong?" Dr. Haydon asked them.
"Well you see, Misty wants to have kids, and we've been trying so hard, but she hasn't even become pregnant yet." Ash answered him.
'I was afraid this day would come.' Dr. Haydon said in thought as he let out a sigh. "Misty, there's something I need to tell you, that I should've told you long ago."
"What?" Was all that Misty said, being rather confused.
"You were born with a rare condition." Dr. Haydon said in a sad tone.
'No!' Misty thought in her mind, not believing it.
"I'm afraid that chances are, you will never become pregnant."
Misty was having a hard time believing what she was hearing. She was sure that he was joking, but then she remembered that he was not one to joke about something like this. That's when tears started streaming down her face.
"I'm also sorry to tell you, that women with your condition, if they do become pregnat, chances are, the baby won't survive through the pregnancy."
Misty was crying. She couldn't believe it. There wasn't much of a chance of her having a child of her own. What was even worse, was that Dr. Haydon knew all along. She was starting to hate him for that.
"It also pains me to say that, women with your condition, whose baby has survived through the pregnancy, not a single one has lasted that long after they were born."
Misty felt like she was gonna die from a state of shock. She didn't believe what she was hearing. Even if the baby did survive through the pregnancy, it didn't have a chance at surviving. She felt like her spirit was slipping away like the very water she loved.
"I'm sorry I never told you, Misty. Your mom and dad thought it was best that you didn't know about this, and want you to live the life you wanted to without fear. They never wanted to tell you, because they wanted you to be happy, and they knew that this would defiantly upset you. They made me promise to not tell you. Today, though, I had to break that promise. You had to know. Otherwise, you wouldn't understand why it would be so hard for you. I'm sorry Misty. Truly I am." He said in a rather sad tone.
Misty was crying harder than she ever had in her entire life. Her parents had known all along, and they never even told her. She did understand why, but she was totally upset that they never told her. She had to be told by the one who they trusted the most with this secret.
Ash hugged Misty, comforting her. He knew that it wasn't gonna be okay. Yet he helped her as best he could. He too was sad. He wanted Misty to be the mother of his children, and now he knew that he would never get that wish. He too felt like crying.
"Does anyone else know about this?" Ash asked Dr. Haydon while he was comforting Misty.
"No. They never told Misty's sisters, at least not to my knowledge. I guess they'll find out soon enough." Dr. Haydon answered him, with a rather sad look on his face.
They then left Dr. Haydon's office, and went home. Ash had to carry Misty to the car, as she was so devastated that she could hardly move. When they got home, Pikachu and Pik saw just how upset Misty was.
("What is wrong with Misty? Why is she crying?") Pik asked, wondering what the doctor had said to them.
"Pikachu, Pik. Sit down for a second." Ash told them.
Pikachu and Pik sat down on the nearby Lazy-boy chair. Ash told them everything. What Dr. Haydon said when he told them that Misty was never gonna have a baby, her condition that made it really hard, and the fact that her mom and dad knew all along, and never told her. Pikachu and Pik were very sad after they heard all that. They had such hope for Misty, and now because of the condition, the hope was all gone.
Misty was so devastated. Ash tried his hardest to comfort her. Even Pikachu and Pik tried their best, but it seemed that no amount of comfort could be given to make her feel better. Misty ended up crying herself to sleep.
Misty woke up later that night, and found herself in bed next to Ash. The fact that she would never have a baby was stuck in her mind. She had been wishing the whole thing was a dream, but in her heart, Misty knew that everything Dr. Haydon said was true.
She then got out of bed very carefully, making sure not to disturb Ash, and went downstairs.
"I can't believe it. I'm never gonna have a child of my own." Misty whispered to herself as she went down the stairs.
Misty did finally accept the reality of her not being able to have a child, but she was so devastated, that she felt like she no longer had a purpose in this world. She went into and kitchen, and from the drawer, took out a butcher knife. She then put the blade of the knife, up to where her heart was, and was ready to strike.
In another room, Pik wasn't able to sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Misty. She was probably the one who had the greatest hope for her, and was just as depressed as her master was. Pik heard Misty going down the stairs and followed her, sensing that something was wrong. Pik arrived at the kitchen, and saw what Misty was about to do.
("Misty, don't!") Pik yelled at the top of her lungs, hoping Misty would hear her.
Upon hearing Pik, Misty stopped. The blade, being only millimeters away from her chest. She then regained herself, and put the knife back in the drawer.
Pik then let out a sigh of relief.
Misty then turned toward Pik and bent down. "Pik, I could use a friend." She said to Pik.
Catching the hint, Pik ran up to Misty and hugged her. Misty hugged Pik back, letting only the happy feeling of comfort now fill her.
"Thanks Pik. You're the best." She said in a happy tone, which made Pik squeal.
"I'm so sorry I tried to kill myself. Can you ever forgive me?" Misty asked with tears coming out of her eyes.
("I forgive you, Misty.") Pik said while rubbing Misty's cheek.
"Now, let's go to back to bed and pretend this whole thing never happened." Misty said, once the hug stopped.
Pik agreed with Misty and they soon were back upstairs. Misty carefully placed Pik next to the sleeping Pikachu. She then went back to bed herself.
'I am so lucky to have Pik in my life.' Misty thought as she went back to bed.
However, Misty soon found that she couldn't sleep. It was one o' clock in the morning, and she wasn't falling asleep. Misty was in deep thought. She knew that she needed time to clear her head. So, Misty put on her bathrobe, and went outside to take a walk around the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, back in Pik's room, she also found herself still unable to sleep. Her thoughts were greatly on Misty. She wished there was something she could do to make Misty feel better. She then turned to Pikachu and started shaking him.
("What is it, Pik? I've got a big match tomorrow.") Pikachu asked her, rubbing his eyes.
("I can't sleep.") Pik answered him.
("What's wrong?")
("I can't stop thinking about Misty. She's so sad lately. I just wish I could do something about it.") Pik said in a sad tone.
("You know that there's nothing you can do, Pik. Just try to get over it, okay?") Pikachu then hugged Pik.
("You know Pikachu, I never realized just how warm your fur is. It's kinda getting me in the mood.")
("Whoops! Am I getting you into the mood there?") Pikachu asked her in a sarcastic tone.
("Yes, you are!") Pik said in the same sarcastic tone that Pikachu used, giving him a playful hit.
("AH! You hurt me, Pik! Now I may never be in the mood!") He said sarcastically, playfully turning around.
("No! C'mon! I was only playing Pikachu!") She said, still playing with him.
("Yea, I know you were.") He said, turning back to her.
Pik just stared at his eyes. She stared into those same beautiful eyes she loved so much. She just couldn't stay mad at Pikachu, no matter what he did.
Pik then just let out a sigh. ("I surrender to you Pikachu. You win. Do as you wish with me. But know this, once the baby comes, you won't get out of any parenting stuff.") She warned Pikachu.
("I should've known there'd be a catch!")
Pik then just lied down on her stomach as Pikachu did what he wanted to do with her for a long time. Pikachu felt so warm to her that she soon fell asleep. In reality, Pikachu never really forced this on her. She had always wanted to do it with Pikachu, but never had the courage. It felt so right to Pik. She had no idea that doing this thing with Pikachu would feel so good. She would also soon realize the great thing that would come into her life.
While Pikachu and Pik were doing their thing, Misty was walking around the neighborhood, clearing her thoughts about all that happened that day.
"I just can't believe it. Why did I have to be born with such a condition?" Misty asked herself in a whispering tone.
She was pretty much halfway through her walk, and had gotten over the fact of her condition.
"Dr. Haydon did say there was a chance I could become pregnant, but no chance of the baby surviving. He didn't say why, though. Must be something very bad."
She was still very sad. She had for a long time wanted a baby of her own, and now she knew that she would never have one.
"I don't want to give up all hope, but I may not have a choice anymore. What am I going to do?"
Misty soon got back home, very sad, and very much in pain. She then went back upstairs, and went back into bed. Yet, she still couldn't sleep. She turned to Ash, and started shaking him.
"Ash, wake up." Misty said while shaking him.
"What is it, Misty?" Ash asked rubbing his eyes.
"I can't sleep."
"I think I can understand why."
"Oh, why did I have to be born with this condition?" Misty asked herself out loud, putting her head down, letting tears fall from her eyes.
Ash then hugged Misty, comforting her. "It's okay Misty. I promise you, we will have happy days. With or without kids." He said trying to make her feel better.
"I just so badly wanted to have a child of my own."
"Don't worry Misty, we'll be fine." He said, giving her a kiss on the lips.
Misty then just let out a sniff. "Thank you Ash. I love you." Misty then gave him a kiss on the lips.
Before they knew it, they went too far into the kiss. They did it one last time. They did it for the twenty-first time. Little did they know, what would happen to them after this.
