Rin: Ok guys this is like the first time I've done something like this but this is like a bonus chapter if you wish to skip it and move on to chapter six you can it will not affect the story. But anyway, yesterday was my mom's birthday and I just wanted to dedicate this chapter to her, She does so much for me, and has put up with so much of my bullcrap over the years, and I'm honestly just so thankful for her she is partially the reason I was inspired to write she was always a really creative person and everyday she inspires my siblings and I to find our passions. I love my mom so much and wouldn't be the woman I am today without her so happy birthday to my mom!

"Cookies are done!" Yelled an over enthusiastic Dawn who had black cat ears a black sleeveless top that hugged her curves nicely and a pink mini skirt she had black flats with pink bows on top of the flats a pink ribbon tied neatly in a pretty bow was wrapped around her neck as if to act as a collar. A pink belt held her black tail in place.
"Punch is done!" Misty and May chorused together. Misty had her long orange hair down in waves with a pearl clip in her hair. She had on a pale pink shell bra and a light blue mermaid style skirt. May had on a pink princess dress with a simple gold tiara on her head.
"Games are set up" Iris and Leaf said while walking into the kitchen. Zoey came in with a shy Lucy following close behind. Leaf was wearing a light purple sleeveless dress with espeon ears on top of her brown hair she had a pink espeon tail attached to her with a light purple belt. In the center of her forehead was red gem. Iris stood wearing a short long sleeved white ruffled topped and black skirt lolita dress with black stockings with black heels. Ontop her dark purple hair was a white ruffled headband.
"We got all the decorations and the table is set up, all that's left is to place the food and punch on the tables set up" Zoey said grinning. Zoey had on a light yellow shirt with green pants on with ears and tail the shape of a Leafeon. Lucy had a black kimono styled dress with gold designs scattered on the dress. across her forehead was a gold headband that wrapped around her head.
"It's too bad Ace, Cassia, Rose and Ren couldn't make it how are you holding up Iris, Lucy?" May asked.
"It's definitely hard not having Cassia around but Cilan and I keep busy with the restaurant with his brothers" Iris said. We all turned to Lucy whose cheeks flushed red.
"Ace is very family oriented and calls home a lot so Brock and I do miss him but like Iris said we both keep pretty busy" She said quietly.
"Hey Dawn is Maylene coming too?" Zoey asked. Dawn nodded
"Maylene and Reggie were actually kind enough to watch the kids while we set up
"Haha, they get rid of their two and wind up with nine kids" Zoey laughed causing the girls to join in on the laughter.
"So I take it Kenny has Sam and Sarina?" Misty asked. Zoey nodded smiling
"This is a nice little break away from the kids and the hubbies" May said playfully causing the girls to burst into laughter once more.
"Don't get used to it sure enough they'll be here with Maylene and Reggie" Leaf said laughing The others nodded in agreement.
With the boys
Paul stood with a scowl on his face as he tugged at the collar of his costume. He wore a long black collared cape with red on the inside. Under the cape was a white button up shirt with a dark green vest and dark red pants and black dress shoes. He was irritated beyond comprehension but knew his hyperactive wife wouldn't be too thrilled if he didn't comply to her wishes and Arceus, he hated to see his wife upset. Ash stood beside him wearing a blue bandana tied around his head with a black eye patch covering one of his warm brown eyes. He had on a white, puffy, long sleeve shirt with a brown vest and tan pants with a blue scarf tied around his waist to complete the look he had on black boots and a fake sword tied to his hip. Brock stood beside Ash in a white lab coat with a light blue dress shirt underneath and black pants with black shoes. He adjusted the stethoscope around his neck carefully and offered a wave in greeting to the grumpy trainer.
"So Paul, How have you and your family been? It's not everyday we all gather in one place to see each other" Brock stated calmly. Paul let out a sigh
"We're all fine, Troublesome has opened her boutique but with my duties as champion, I'm hardly at home." Paul said in his usual bored tone.
"Man, I know what you mean! I barely get to see Misty and Sayuri" Ash said Paul rolled his eyes his scowl only getting worse when more people entered the kitchen of Brock's hotel room. Drew came in dressed up white pants, white button up shirt and a dark green coat with a gold crown on top of his light green hair.
"Sup losers" Drew said flicking his hair. Paul ignored the comment and rolled his eyes when Ash, as usual lost his cool and began yelling at the arrogant coordinator.
"Now now, let's all calm down" Cilan said walking in dressed up in a fancy tan suit and tan fedora on top of his head. Ash visibly calmed down but still glared at Drew.
"Man, I can't believe the girls kicked us out" Drew said flicking his hair.
"Well it's Ash's fault he kept sampling the food" Scoffed Gary who was dressed in a black dress shirt with matching dress pants that had gold rings sewn onto the sleeves and ends of his pants and shirt. On top of his head was black ears with a single gold ring near the tip of the ears in the middle of his forehead was a gold ring.
"But the food smelled so good…" Ash grumbled everyone rolled their eyes at Ash and sighed.
"Well guess we should head over since Reggie Maylene and Kenny will be bringing the kids" Paul said sighing. The group of males nodded and headed out of Brock's hotel room and made their way to Paul's house.
With Reggie Maylene and Kenny and kids
Reggie stood with devil horns on top of his purple hair. He had on a black dress shirt red suspenders and red pants with a pitchfork in his hand. While Maylene was in a knee length white dress with white wings attached to her back a white flower crown was on top of her pink hair. She was helping Reggie and Kenny get the kids into their costumes before they would haul them over to Dawn and Paul's. Kenny stood in a black cape with with a blue tipped collar. He had on a black suit with a white dress shirt and white gloves on his hands and on top of his head was a gold crown that resembled the crown shaped armor Empoleon had on its head. Mira wore black tights with an orange dress with a jack o lantern face on the dress and a little orange and green hat with her purple hair sticking out in tiny pigtails. Kairi was dressed with her blue hair tied in a high ponytail she had on A purple coined top with gold pepper shaped sequins, a pair of gold edged purple ruffled pants, a lilac colored headband, a dark purple veil, and a purple coin belt hugged her waist. Ryuu had a white astronaut suit on with his helmet held in his arms.
Sayuri had on a white lace dress with orange trimming along the hem cut to be shaped like a goldeen's tail with a fake horn on top of her carrot colored hair. Emmet was wearing a light brown shirt with a white around his neckline with matching brown pants and a brown fluffy tail attached to his pants. On Top of his head were light brown ears that resembled an Eevee's. Aurora was in a matching outfit. She had on a light brown knee length dress with white neckline and white trimming under the dress. She had on brown stockings a fluffy tail was attached to the skirt of her dress and on top of her head were Eevee ears except hers had a light green bow in her ear to decorate the ears. She held Emmet in her arms while Kairi held Mira in hers and the two talked quietly together. Sayuri stayed by Ryuu's side complimenting his costume shyly. Rai scoffed.
"Big deal. He's just a helmet wearing guy" Rai said crossing his arms he had on a dark blue fancy prince costume with a red sash and a fake gold crown on top of his head. Sarina frowned.
"That's not very nice!" Sarina said putting her red gloved hands on her hips. Sarina had on a beige dress with red gloves and shoes. On top of her auburn hair were beige with red tipped ears and red plus signs on her cheeks. To complete the look she had a red plus sign attached to her skirt.
"Yea! Ryuu looks cool! Better than a prince" Sam said crossing his arms. He had on a beige shirt and khaki pants with blue shoes. On his hands were blue fingerless gloves and a blue minus sign attached to his pants on his cheeks were blue minus signs. On top of his head were beige blue tipped ears.
"Alright guys that's enough!" Kairi snapped her onyx eyes glaring at Rai as she stood protectively in front of her big brother.
"Kairi, It's ok don't worry about me" Ryuu said softly and laid his hand on top of Kairi's head. Kairi's cheeks reddened with her onyx eyes sparkling with admiration before a big smile broke out on her face.
"That's my lil sis" Ryuu said smiling and glancing toward a now silent Rai.
"Alright kids let's all head out to the party!" Maylene said motioning for everyone to join hands while walking. Ryuu held onto Maylene's right hand while Maylene carried Mira in her left arm, Kairi held onto Ryuu's hand and Sayuri held onto Kairi's happily chatting away with the younger girl. Reggie had Emmet in his left arm while he held hands with Aurora. Kenny was in the back holding hands with Sam and Sarina with Rai holding onto Sarina's hand.
Back to the girls:
The women had everything set up and now sat around with their husbands talking among themselves. Dawn sat on Paul's lap happily chatting away while Paul rested his chin on her head hugging her gently.
"Hey Dawn, since you two are getting cozy over there can we safely assume that there's gonna be a child number four?" Misty asked giggling Dawn grinned at Misty mischievously
"Only if we can expect child number two from you and Ash since you guys are so lovey dovey over there" Dawn smirked when she saw Misty turn red and could feel Paul chuckling behind her.
"Speaking of kids, Maylene, Reggie and Kenny should be here soon shouldn't they?" Iris spoke up. Not long after she spoke, in came Maylene, Reggie, Kenny and several happy kids.
"Mommy! Mira yelled from Maylene's arms and instantly held her hands out to grab onto her mother. Dawn giggled standing up from Paul's lap and took the two year old from Maylene placing small kisses along her chubby cheeks causing Mira to squeal with glee.
"I hope they weren't a complete handful on you guys" Dawn said smiling. Maylene waved her hand dismissively
"Peace of cake you know how much they adore Uncle Reggie" Maylene snickered Dawn nodded smiling and glanced down at her two eldest children before kneeling down and kissing both their foreheads and whispering to them softly
"Go on, I know you're all dying to see your father" Dawn said handing Mira gently to Kairi and watched as the three ran toward an unsuspecting Paul who was now being squashed by his three children. Everyone in the room burst into a fit of laughter as the poor plum haired man struggled to calm his hyper children. Once he was finally settled he had Mira in one arm and had Kairi and Ryuu on his lap causing Dawn to smile warmly at the sight of how much adoration and love their children had for their father.
"I never thought I'd see the day you know, Paul getting married, having kids, I still see him as that cold heartless trainer sometimes" Maylene said softly gazing at Paul who turned his attention to Reggie who took a seat beside him smiling brightly at his younger brother.
"Who knew it would take me getting separated from Ash and Brock for us to get together" Dawn said quietly causing Maylene to laugh softly and nod.
"Well enough reminiscing, we got a party to start" Maylene said Dawn nodded smiling and spoke up.
"Alright everyone food is at the tables and there are plenty of games set up in the house and some outside" Dawn said and watched as the kids broke off into groups.
"Mira you stay with your brother and sister ok" Dawn called
"You too Emmet" Leaf said casting a glance at Aurora.
"Don't worry momma I'll take extra good care of my baby brother!" She stated happily and picked up Emmet and walked off with Sarina Rai and Sam outside with Kenny following them to supervise.
"No need to worry mom!" Kairi said smiling all eyes were on Dawn.
"Wow that apple sure doesn't fall far from that tree does it" Zoey said laughing. Dawn scoffed
"Wait for it.." She muttered and right after she had said that,
"That is when we worry the most" Ryuu said smirking just like his father.
"Arceus, your kids couldn't be anymore mini yous even if they tried!" May said with wide eyes causing the group of adults to laugh once more. Ryuu, Sayuri, Kairi and Mira stayed inside to play the indoor games before they switched to going outside with Kenny and Sarina, Rai, Sam, Emmett and Aurora walked inside to play the indoor games. The evening was spent with laughter, good food and lots of talking and catching up. Dawn had managed to escape to the kitchen to get a moment of silence before she felt strong arms wrap around her waist.
"Hey troublesome" Paul whispered in her ear causing Dawn to giggle and turn in his arms her blue eyes shining mischievously.
"Hi" she said quietly smiling up at him wrapping her arms lazily around his neck.
"Trick or treat?" He muttered smirking down at her. Dawn giggled and kissed him softly. But quickly pulled away when he heard footsteps running in.
"Momma!" Kairi ran in with big tears rolling down her flushed cheeks Dawn kneeled down scooping up Kairi into her arms.
"There, there, my love what's wrong?" Dawn cooed softly wiping the tears out of Kairi's onyx eyes.
"Rai took all my candy I won" Kairi sniffed Dawn let out a small sigh and gently handed Kairi over to Paul. Paul took the sniffling girl into his arms who clung to him as if he were her life line. Dawn left the kitchen to search for May and Drew. When she had found them, they were already scolding Rai but he wasn't alone Ryuu stood beside him with Reggie scolding him as well
"What happened" Dawn asked rushing over
"Well, Rai stole from Kairi, Kairi started crying and Ryuu started to fight Rai" Reggie said crossing his arms giving a stern look to the Paul look alike. Dawn sighed and kneeled down in front of Ryuu.
"Ryuu, how many times have I told you fighting isn't the answer, the only time I ever want you to fight is if you are fighting to protect yourself and those you love."
"But he made my baby sister cry!" Ryuu shouted with a pout on his face. Dawn sighed
"I know baby but you should have came and got me or told Aunt May or Uncle Drew, you should have never hit Rai. Now please, Apologize to one another." Dawn said. May stood with her arms crossed.
"And you young man are to return the candy you took from Kairi after you apologize to her, and as punishment Your father and I will be holding onto your candy and once we get home, no TV." May said
"You don't think you're being too hard on him" Dawn whispered. May shook her head
"No, Rai needs to learn that it's not ok to steal, and its most definitely not ok to make a girl cry" May snapped. Dawn just nodded and silently watched Rai walk toward the kitchen with a guilty look on his face.
"You know, I know I can be an Ass but I know better than to make a woman cry" Drew muttered May rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek
"Yes, of course you do Drew," She said and walked off with Dawn to check on Rai and Kairi. They saw Rai and Kairi, Rai was handing the candy back to Kairi with care, and mumbled out a small apology before he left and went to Ryuu.
"Are we still friends.." Rai asked looking down Ryuu crossed his arms glaring at him before sighing.
"I'm still mad you made my sister cry, but yeah, you're still my friend" Ryuu said softly causing Rai to smile. Everything was at peace again and the kids were all sitting around at mini tables and chairs that were set up for them to eat at. Kairi was making sure the food was small enough for Mira not to choke on before feeding her happily. Aurora did the same for Emmett.
"Aurora and Kairi are such good big sisters" Misty said smiling at Leaf and Dawn. Leaf was curled up against Gary smiling and Dawn was beside Paul holding his hand.
"Aurora adores Emmett it's adorable actually how much she loves her little brother. It's to the point she won't let certain people hold him for too long." Gary said laughing
"Kairi has been close to Mira since day one the two really like to work together and help me cook though with Mira as little as she is, Kairi helps her a lot" Dawn said smiling watching the group of kids eating and chatting away with each other.
"They are all honestly a good group of kids. I'm so happy that we all are as close as we are for them to all be friends with each other" Misty said smiling. Everyone nodded in agreement while watching their children with small smiles on their faces. The night carried on and soon it was getting late, Everyone started leaving and soon it was just Dawn, Paul, Maylene Reggie and a sleeping Kairi, Mira and Ryuu that were left. Maylene helped Dawn clean up while Paul and Reggie carried took the kids upstairs to their rooms. Reggie carried Ryuu while Paul held both of his little girls in his arms with care. Once the three were tucked in. Paul and Reggie went to help Dawn and Maylene clean up and soon the house was all clean.
"Thank you guys so much for everything today" Dawn said smiling hugging both Maylene and Reggie.
"No, Dawn thank you for everything with Rose and Ren being on their first journey it has been so hard for us yet you do so much for us, Thank you" Maylene smiled
"And I owe you so many thanks not just cause Rose and Ren but for falling in love with my brother and being there for him" Reggie said smiling causing Paul to roll his eyes.
"Alright we get it now go" Paul said with a scowl on his face causing Dawn to glare at him.
"Goodnight guys and thanks again for tonight" Reggie and Maylene said before walking into the night. Paul shut the door and sighed in relief.
"Finally they're gone!" He said causing Dawn to just roll her eyes and head upstairs with Paul following close behind her. The two stripped down and put on pajamas. In Dawn's case she wore a light pink nightgown while Paul only threw on a pair of sweatpants and laid down. Dawn plopped down beside him and curled up into his side smiling lovingly up at him
"Goodnight Paul, I love you" She muttered with a yawn
"You too, Troublesome" Paul said softly kissing her forehead and hugging her close before sleep took them.
