"We were working on the garden one day when we started talking about opening up a shop together."

~ March 30th, 2538

"Babe ever think about running a shop together?"

"I think about it all the time, why?"

"What if we save up and actually opened up the shop we've always talked about?"

"Well...do you think we would be able to?"

"Yes. If we work together we can have a shop running in about a year from now."

"Is it what you really want?"

"Yes I do."

"Okay but we're both going to have to get jobs while going to school. It's not going to be easy but if you want to do it then let's get started."

"Oh babe!"

I jumped on your father excitedly which made him fall down right into the berries. He laughed as I started planting kisses all over his face. We started making out feeling excited and determined about opening a shop one day. His mother found us and got angry that we destroyed some of the plants.

We laughed hysterically for a bit before we started taking out the destroyed plants and planting new ones.

"I found a job at a dry cleaner's and your father took up a waiter's job. We saved up any amount possible for our goal to open a store one day. We argued sometimes about cancelled date nights, not being able to afford some of the products, the location, and what kind of shop we would open. It was tough but soon we had enough saved up to open a store in the Kalos Region. We nearly finished our degrees and continued studying in Kalos and finally opened our berry-flower garden. It took an entire year for this all to happen but it was worth it in the end. We had been together for nearly four years and we wanted to take our relationship to the next level. Your father proposed to me about a month after we opened up the store. That was the happiest day of my life. So I had a surprise planned for your father. I laid there in bed as he walked in and well he blushed when he saw me well..naked. And we mated that night."

"Eww mom."

"It was the best decision I ever made in my life because I was going to start a life with the Pokémon I loved with all my heart. And the next morning there was an additional surprise in store."

*April 31st, 2539

I woke up and immediately broke out into a smile. My darling Leafy was lying beside me looking like the most relaxed being on earth. He was sleeping and I didn't want to wake him up but I was so happy that I just leaned closer and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

He smiled in his sleep and I tried to quietly get out of bed when I felt my leg kick something. I looked to see something round right beside one of my feet. I picked up my blanket to see what I was and I practically squealed in excitement. This woke up my fiancé instantly.

"What?! What?! What wrong babe? Why are you screaming?"

"Babe look!"

I took the round thing out from under the blanket and showed it to him.

I laid an egg.

"We're going to be parents babe."

"I'm going to be a dad?"

I nodded before he started laughing and crying and he hugged me tightly.

And the one in the egg was you Eevee.

"So I wasn't planned?"

"Eevee!"

"Well am I wrong?"

"Well no. But you were the next chapter of our life. I was scared at first because I didn't know if I could be a good mother when I didn't really know how to be one. But with your father's help we worked hard to be able to best provide for you when you finally hatched out which was on November 20th, 2539."

"My one and only birthday."

"You were born in November and we got married a week after your birthday on December 1st. "

"Where did you get married?"

"On a sea cliff while light snow was falling. It was a small ceremony but we're happy to be finally married. And now with you in both our arms."

"Aww I love you mom and dad."

"We love you too."

I hugged them both tightly before we sprung apart so mom could continue the story.

"I tried my best to be the best mom for you and although it wasn't easy you inspired me to be the best mother for you. I started working on my cream because I loved to experiment with healing flowers and berries. Business went well and we finished our degrees after a year open and we were ready to continue running the shop together."

"I'm happy you guys did."

"When you turned 2 though tragedy struck after you fell into the ocean. Sylveon saved you back then and we will always be grateful to him, but at the time we couldn't afford the bills for your surgery. Because after you fell in the water your lungs were badly damaged and very weak and you needed life changing surgery which we couldn't afford. So we had to sell the shop and move back to Kanto to give you the best medical treatment. Selling our dream was hard but if it was to save our daughters life it was worth it in the end."

My mom started tearing up and I went over to her to hug her.

"You're the best parents I could ever ask for."

"Thank you Eevee. We gave up everything to save you, and it took years for you to fully recover from your lung surgery. After you were fully healed at 5, we started saving to open up a new shop in Kalos again and you were our smart little girl. Shops in Kanto were costly and we knew this since it took your father's parents 20 years to be able to pay off their shop all together. We saved up for four years before moving back to Kalos and I finished making my healing cream which made us twice the amount we made with our old shop. I used to regret moving back here after you started getting bullied for being smart and weaker than the other students. We almost moved back to Kanto permanently but then things finally started to go to normal thanks to your best friend, and we could finally rest peacefully because we found home."

"And then you had Hope 2 years later and the rest in history."

"Exactly. And that's the story of how your father and I met and fell in love."

"And it's a beautiful one."

My mom hugged me and I giggled in her arms and even more as dad joined the hug.

"Now about that boyfriend of yours."

"Yeah?"

"Make sure you make each other happy and you have nothing to worry about."

"Okay mother."

"And no kissing on that bike of his."

"Dad we don't."

"I saw you Eevee."

"Ah you did?"

"Less smooching please. I want to start worrying about my daughter less if she doesn't keep putting herself in danger of traffic."

"Okay fine dad."

"Good."

I heard the doorbell ring and remembered Sylveon was coming over.

"Speaking of that must be him."

I ran to get the door and hugged my boyfriend as soon as I laid eyes on him.

"Silver!"

"Hehehe hi Eve."

He kissed my cheek before I led him to my room him briefly saying hello to my parents as we went upstairs.

"How have you been darling?"

"I was talking to my parents about how they met."

"Oh how did they meet?"

"Are you sure you want to know it's a long story?"

"Sure I'm willing to hear it."

"Okay. Hope? What are you doing in my room?"

I said as I saw a lump under my blanket that I knew instantly was Hope. My brother giggled from under the blanket as I playfully tackled him and started tickling him.

"Since you're here little booger, you get to hear the story of how mommy and daddy met with Sylveon. Here Sylveon hold him and I tell you both the story."

Sylveon took my brother and sat down with him on my bed eagerly waiting for me to tell the story.

"Well my parents first met in college. My father was studying agriculture and my mother was studying business and botany."
