Chapter 9

It's been nearly nine months since Misty found out she was pregnant, and alot has happened since then. First all three of Misty's sisters have had their babies born. Daisy had twins, two boys, who they named Bryan and Shane. Violet had triplets, two boys and a girl, named Michael, Johnny, and Ruby respectively. Lily had twins, one boy and one girl, named Sam and Amara respectively, and Pikachu and Pik's egg hatched, which amazingly turned out to be twins, one male, one female, and both were shiny. Also, Lily and Tracey had moved to Pallet town, and so that Tracey didn't have to go so far, just to work at Oak's lab.

Misty's baby had survived through the pregnancy so far, and with the small possibility of it gaining Misty's unbelievable immune system, it seemed more possible to Misty than ever that the baby would survive, even if the chance seemed small. Every day she needed hope that the baby would survive, and Ash was there to make sure to give it to her.

They are now in the kitchen making lunch, where we see Delia, who had come by within the last week of the expected due date, to see her grandchild right after it was born. Misty knew that her baby's due date was very close, and that it could be born at any day now. She had not been doing her recent visits to Dr. Haydon, to see if the baby was alive anymore. She was getting her answer from the baby itself, who gave her a kick everyday, telling it's Mom that it was still alive. In fact, she had received one not too long ago from it. She had also told Dr. Haydon that her and Ash decided that they should find out if it's a boy or a girl the hard way. They had wanted it to be a complete surprise. Misty was sitting down at the table, not being able to help, due to how much her back had been hurting since she didn't know when during the pregnancy. She was having a look of worry on her face, as the thought of the baby not surviving was going through her head. She then looked up at Ash, who was busy chopping onions for the soup they were busy making.

"Ash," Misty started to say, getting Ash's attention. "Do you think that the baby will make it?" She asked him with a look of concern.

Ash saw her concern and just gave her a smile. "Misty, you can't think that. If you don't believe that the baby can make it, who will?"

"But do you really think..."

"He's right dear." Delia says, interrupting her. "You just can't give up hope. Besides, I have a feeling your baby will be just fine."

"How do you know?" Misty asks her.

"Call it mother's intuition."

"Well, I hope I get that when the baby comes." Misty said with a smile.

They were about to say more, when Misty suddenly heard a splash, and found all that was right below her to be completely wet. Misty gave a surprised smile.

"Oh, my water broke." Misty said.

Ash immediately smiled, and stopped making lunch. He then walked up to Misty, and helped her up.

"Come on, Misty. It's time!" He said, helping her up.

As they were leaving, Delia got their attention. "I'll clean up this mess, and meet you two later at the hospital later with the pokemon. I'll also make sure to tell your sisters the great news."

"Okay, we'll meet you there." Ash said as they left.

As soon as they left, Delia's smile turned to a frown. As she cleaned up the mess, only one thought went through her mind. 'I hope the baby does make it.'

As Ash and Misty were driving to the hospital, Misty suddenly felt a sharp jolt of pain, and winced a little.

Ash then turned to her. "Are you okay?" Ash asked with concern.

"I think so..." Misty cut herself short when she felt pain again and screamed.

Ash knew that the baby was coming out fast for some reason. He knew that he had to hurry if they wanted to make it on time. Even though he knew he would be breaking the law if he did, he knew what he had to do.

"Better hang on tight, Misty!" Ash said to her as he pressed harder on the gas pedal. "And what ever you do Misty, DON'T PUSH!"

He started heading as fast as he could to the hospital, and while he was driving, he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

At the medical center, a middle-aged woman with brown hair was busy sorting out some papers, when she heard the phone ring. She calmly picked it up, and spoke into the receiver.

"Hello, Cerulean Medical Center. Evelyn speaking." She calmly said.

"Hello this is Ash Ketchum." The voice on the receiving end said.

"What seems to be the problem, sir?"

"My wife is having her baby. We're heading over as quickly as possible, and will be there very soon."

"Okay, I'll set up a prep team immediately." She said as she quickly disconnected the line, and started making calls to multiple doctors she knew that could handle the situation. One of which happened to be Dr. Haydon.

Dr. Haydon was busy talking to a patient of his, when he heard the phone ring. He immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello? What? I'll be there immediately." He then looked up at the brown haired man he was with. "I'm sorry, but I must cut our appointment short. I've just been called to an emergency." He said to him.

"I understand. We'll reschedule." He said to him, shaking his hand.

Dr. Haydon started to leave, but he stopped right when he reached the door. "Oh, By the way Ritchie, it's someone you know." He said as he left, leaving Richie with curiosity in his head.

Not too long after Dr. Haydon left; Ritchie heard his cell phone ring. He answered it almost immediately.

"Hello?" He asked when he answered it.

"Hi, honey! It's Violet." The voice on the receiving end said.

"Hi dear. What's up?"

"Listen, Delia just called. She said that Misty is having her baby right now."

Hearing that, Richie knew exactly who it was that Dr. Haydon had left to see. "I'm over at the medical center right now. How about I meet you here?" He said to her.

"Okay, I'll be over there as soon as I can."

"Oh right. I'll see ya then. Bye." He said as he hung up his cell phone and walked out of Dr. Haydon's office.

Ash had just pulled up to the entrance of the hospital, with Misty clenching her teeth in pain. As soon as Ash had opened up the passenger side door, where Misty was, a medical team, with a wheelchair, had arrived in front of them. Ash helped Misty into the wheelchair, and they all ran as fast as they could to the room that was already prepared for Misty.

While running to the room that had been prepared for Misty, Ash was very worried. He knew that a labor point never happens this fast. He knew that something was wrong, but he wasn't sure what it was. He at least knew it had something to do with her condition.

They soon arrived at the room that was prepared for her. Misty was now in nothing more than a light blue one piece gown. The medical team moved her carefully onto the bed that was specially prepared for her. After attaching several things to her, Dr. Haydon arrived at the scene.

"What's the status?" Dr. Haydon asked as he got ready for the procedure.

"She is at her final labor point, sir." One of the nurses told him.

He then sighed. "It's too soon, but it's too late now. The baby has to be delivered."

The entire medical team then got Misty into position and so that she could deliver her child. Ash was standing next to her, comforting her pain as best he could. Dr. Haydon then got into position in front of Misty.

"Okay Misty. When I say, I want you to push. Understand?" Dr. Haydon asked her.

Through the pain that she was feeling, Misty gave Dr. Haydon a nod.

"Ready? Push!" Dr. Haydon told her.

Misty pushed hard. While doing so, she squeezed Ash's hand, nearly breaking his bones. Ash just withstood the pain, and tried his best to comfort her.

"Again Misty!"

Misty pushed again. As she did, the anger inside of her built up to a point, where she felt like she had to yell at Ash. "I can't believe you did this to me, Ash! I hate you!" She yelled at him.

Ash knew that that was only the pain talking, and held on to her hand as tightly as possible.

"Again Misty!"

Misty pushed with all of her might. As she pushed, she let out a blood, curling scream. Misty was completely worn out from the push, and had to calmly breathe. That's when she heard a sound reach her ears that she just couldn't help but smile at.

She heard the sound of her newly born baby. Now letting out the first of its breaths into the world, it was screaming for its mom. The doctors carefully cut off the umbilical cord that was connected to the baby, and wrapped it in a towel. Dr. Haydon then turned around with a smile.

"Congratulations, it's a girl." He said as he handed the new baby girl to Misty.

Misty then held the baby girl in her arms, and the baby stopped crying. The baby looked up at the woman holding her. She knew she was her mom. She then looked up at the man who had gently touched her cheek, and felt no fear from him, because she knew him to be her father.

Dr. Haydon then looked at Misty. "Misty. We have to take her away now."

Misty understood all of the procedures that the doctors would have to do with her baby. She then handed the new baby girl over to Dr. Haydon, and the baby started crying again once she was removed from her mom.

"It's okay. Don't cry. Goodbye my baby. Goodbye." Misty said to her baby.

The baby didn't understand, and continued crying as her mom disappeared from her view as the door shut.

Once the new baby girl was brought into the other room, Ash looked down at Misty.

"I hope the baby will be okay. She did look healthy." Ash said to Misty.

"Dr. Haydon told me that she would only look healthy, and that the virus could only be detected by the many machines they have." Misty said, letting a small tear escape her eye.

"It's okay Misty. I have a feeling that our little girl will be okay in the end." Ash said, trying to comfort her.

"I hope you're right Ash."

An hour later, Dr. Haydon appeared from the other room. He appeared to have a very sad look on his face.

"Misty..." Dr. Haydon started.

"Is my baby okay? Is she going to make it?" Misty asked, interrupting Dr. Haydon, being the new concerned mother that she was.

Dr. Haydon let out a sad, quiet sigh, lowering his head. "I'm sorry, Misty. I'm afraid that your baby has the virus, and there is no telling whether or not it has inherited your immune system that could save it. The procedure to find that out, would take a whole week, and she might not even live through the night."

Misty turned away from Dr. Haydon and started crying into Ash's chest. Ash hugged her, trying his best to comfort her, but started to cry himself.

"I will return in a few minutes with your baby girl, and so that you can spend as much time as possible, that you have left with her." Dr. Haydon said. He then left the sad parents.

It is now night and we see Ash holding his baby girl, who was fast asleep. Misty had been so worn out from the birth, that she fell asleep from exhaustion. Ash was in a chair right next to Misty's bed, with a very sad look on his face. He cared deeply for his baby girl, and was sad that she was slowly dying in his arms.

Dr. Haydon had told all of the siblings that were there about the situation, and they all agreed that Ash and Misty had to spend as much time as possible with their new daughter. Ash was too sad to even sleep. It was late, and time just seemed to slowly pass as he held her. He then heard the door open and looked up.

A woman with brown hair, who Ash didn't know, came into the room. It was the same woman who had informed Dr. Haydon that Ash and Misty were on their way. Even though Dr. Haydon promised not to tell anyone but Ash and Misty's family about the dilemma, he couldn't help but share some of his experiences with his own family, and the person standing in front of Ash, happened to be Dr. Haydon's daughter. She had been told everything about them, and decided to help them anyway she could. She then took a chair nearby, and sat down next to Ash.

"Hi, I'm Evelyn." She said, greeting herself to Ash.

"I'm Ash." Ash said, trying his hardest to force a smile, but couldn't.

"Dr. Haydon, my dad, told me everything. How is she?"

Ash looked at his new daughter, who had started breathing more slowly. "She might not make it." He said, with a cry trying to escape.

"I'm terribly sorry, Ash, but there's nothing we can do. I'm sorry, Ash. Truly I am." She said. She then got up and started to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute." Ash said, getting Evelyn's attention. "What was your name again?"

"Evelyn."

"Mind if we use it?" He asked her.

"No, I don't mind. You can go ahead and use it." She said, knowing what Ash meant.

Evelyn then closed the door and left.

After Evelyn left, Ash looked down at his baby. "Hmm, Evelyn." He whispered. "I wonder how much Misty will like that name."

Morning soon came, and Ash was still awake. He was still holding his baby girl, who had nearly lost all control of her breathing. Misty then woke up, completely refreshed, and immediately turned to Ash.

"Let me have her, Ash." She said to him, begging to hold her baby.

Ash then handed their baby girl to her, and she carefully held her in her arms. Misty was about to say something, when she noticed that her baby wasn't breathing anymore. She shook it very gently, trying to see if there would be any response from it. When she saw that there was no change in her baby, Misty hugged her tightly, and started crying tears of great sorrow.

Ash hugged Misty, trying his best to comfort her, but also started to cry. Before she was even born, they had loved their little baby, and now, they just wanted her back.

They then heard a sound enter their ears that had suddenly stopped them from crying. Misty then pulled their daughter away from her, and saw that she was furiously crying. Misty then let out tears of joy, and hugged her baby tightly, being happy that her baby was alive.

"She's okay!" Misty said through her tears of joy, after she ended the hug.

"Yeah, looks like Evelyn is okay." Ash said.

Misty then stopped crying, and turned to Ash with a puzzled look on her face. "Evelyn?" She asked in confusion.

"Yeah, that's the name I picked for her. You like it, Misty?"

She then looked down at her baby, who had stopped crying, with a smile. "Hmm, Evelyn Ketchum. I don't know it feels like something is missing."

"You know, my mom said that if she had a daughter, she would've named it Diane." Ash said, remembering something from his past.

"Hmm, Evelyn Diane Ketchum. I love it!"

"I love it too, Misty."

"Then that's what we'll call her. Evelyn." Misty said, with her last word in a very soft whisper.

A few days later, we see Misty looking through a glass window at her daughter, Evelyn, who was crying. Misty just smiled at Evelyn, knowing that her baby just didn't understand what was going on. Dr. Haydon then walked up to Misty.

"Take a look, Misty." Dr. Haydon said, showing her a newspaper.

Misty looked at it, and saw a picture of her daughter on it, with the headline, "Miracle Baby Survives Deadly Birth Virus." Misty just smiled.

"I guess they couldn't keep it secret." Misty said, remembering that she told everyone not to say anything.

"Your baby's famous now."

"I know, but I know it will only last for so long." Misty said as she was looking at her daughter.

"Another thing, Misty. We were somehow able to get the test results done early, and we found that your daughter doesn't have the same immune system that you do." Dr. Haydon told her, changing the subject.

"But then, how did she survive?" Misty asked him, rather shocked.

"In medical terms, it's nothing short of a miracle."

Misty just smiled at that thought, and just looked at her baby with a widest smile she had ever made in her entire life.

"Misty," Dr. Haydon began, getting her attention. "I would highly advise you to not have anymore kids. According to my calculations, none of them would survive."

Misty just put her head down, with a very sad look on her face. "I understand, but I know that I will be pressured multiple times to do it with Ash, and that I could get pregnant at any one of them. So, after giving it alot of thought, I've come to a very curtail decision."

End Chapter 9

Congradulations on making it this far, and seeing Misty's newest baby, Evelyn, survive.

People often ask me, where does the name come from?

Evelyn, is from the movie entitled, Evelyn. In it, her father got her back after she was taken away from him by laws that deprive the right of raising his kids, without a mother. Her mother had ran off. She abandoned her kids, and when the father couldn't keep a steady income, his kids were taken from him, and raised in an orphanage.

Evelyn never gave up hope that her father would get her out of there.

You see, it is the duty of humans, to not only follow rules, but to destroy those that are not right.

This takes place in Ireland. It is based on a true story.

I urge you to watch it. You'll love it to the end. Moves a little fast, but is very good in the end.

Anyways, that's where the name came from. A simple movie, and yet, it inspired me so much in the end.

Well, go ahead and Review.

See ya.
