December 14

11 days till Christmas

Four days have passed. The outside of their house is now decorated with lights and some inflatables and a Christmas Wreath with a beautiful red ribbon on the door. While the inside of the house has a few decorations. The fireplace is decorated with garlands with lights, candles, poinsettias, though no stockings yet, and of course the mistletoe on top of the fireplace. The stairs are also decorated with garlands with lights and colorful tinsels. The pillows on the furniture are Christmas themed. There's even a gingerbread house already made since yesterday.

The only thing that's not decorated yet was the Christmas tree. This is a real Christmas tree Ash just brought home. As of now, he, Serena, and their Pokémon were now decorating the tree. Ash was trying to untangle the lights which honestly frustrated him. Pikachu, Oshawott, Pancham, and Bulbasaur were going through the ornaments, checking to see if there's any broken ones. Serena, Buneary, Snivy, Sylveon, and Delphox were getting out the stockings. Buneary was busy writing the triplets' names on their new stockings they bought at the store and she's writing their names with glue and glitter. As for the Bolt, Thunder, and Felicia, they were watching them doing what they're doing.

Bolt was watching his mother, Serena, Snivy, Sylveon and Delphox with the stockings. Felicia was watching both her daddy going through the ornaments with Oshawott, Pancham, and Bulbasaur and Ash putting the lights on the tree. As for Thunder, he has his eyes set on the gingerbread house that's on a table.

Thunder thought it looked tasty with all the candy and frosting on it and even the gingerbread. With that, he goes crawling towards the gingerbread house. He made it to the table with the gingerbread house. In front of him was a little big box of candy canes almost his size he didn't notice.

Thunder tries to reach for the gingerbread house with his little paw but he couldn't reach it. He then tried using both his paws to reach for the gingerbread house. But suddenly he stubbled a bit and fell. But when he fell, his paw accidentally flipped over the box of candy canes on top of him. Inside the box Thunder just laughs and tries to leave with the box he's inside of.

Ash immediately noticed this and tried to follow him. "Hey wait, Thunder!" But unfortunately he couldn't get to him because there was lots of stuff in his way.

"Hey Buneary! Stop that moving box." Ash calls Buneary.

Buneary hears Ash with long ears and she even notices a moving box. She hopped towards the moving box and lifted it up to see who it was. And she was surprised. She sees Thunder looking up at her with a happy look on his and holding a candy cane in his paw.

Buneary sighed. "Thunder, candy is bad for your little baby teeth." She took the candy cane from Thunder. He starts to whine and tries to reach for his candy cane back.

"No candy Thunder." Buneary puts the candy cane away in the box.

Within seconds, Thunder starts bursting into tears. He was having a temper tantrum. He cried his eyes out. Sobbing at the fact his candy cane was taken away from him.

Buneary immediately picks him up and tries to calm him. "Shh, it's alright Thunder, it's okay. There's no reason to cry over the fact I took away the candy cane from you." But Thunder still continues crying.

Snivy notices this and goes to them. "Aw! Looks like Thunder is having a tantrum." Snivy giggles a bit.

Buneary sigh in frustration. "You have no idea, Snivy. All I did was take a candy cane away from him and then he started acting up." She said while trying to calm down Thunder.

Snivy looked at them with sympathy and thought of something. "Can I try to calm him down?"

Buneary looked at her with a confused look. "Why?" Not that she didn't trust her with the triplets. She knew her friends adore and love the triplets. It's just unexpected to her.

"Well I just wanna make him feel better." Snivy simply said.

Buneary thought of it and decided to give Thunder to Snivy. "Alright sweetie, you're going to go see Aunt Snivy. She's going to make you feel better."

When she was going to hand Thunder to Snivy, Snivy used her vines to hold him. Thunder hadn't even noticed he was being held by Snivy since he's still crying. Snivy then swings him slowly while singing a lullaby to him softly. He hears Snivy's singing and immediately calms down, which surprised Buneary. While swinging the Pichu, he then starts to yawn and fall asleep. Snivy then holds Thunder in her arms and cradles him back and forth.

"You….got him to calm down." Buneary said speechless.

Snivy was still busy cradling the sleeping Pichu, she didn't even hear Buneary. Buneary saw how Snivy was cradling Thunder and how she cooed at him. This makes her smile. "I see you're good at this."

Snivy, now realizing what she was doing, blushed. "Oh sorry Buneary! I got a little carried away." She said quietly so she wouldn't want to wake Thunder up.

Buneary takes Thunder back from Snivy and smiles. "It's okay Snivy. You know, recently you've been so caring for the triplets now." She said while cradling Thunder.

Snivy sighed. "I know. It's just that….when I see you and Pikachu with the triplets….makes me want to form a family with Oshawott."

"I think you'll make a great mother someday." This makes Snivy smile. "Same goes for Oshawott. I think he would make a silly dad." Buneary giggles quietly so she won't wake up Thunder.

Snivy also giggles quietly. Then she stops laughing and becomes serious. "Can I tell you a secret Buneary?"

Buneary gave a question look. "Okay why?"

Snivy hesitated but managed to say. " What if I told you I have something inside of me already?" This made Buneary more confused.

"I don't get it." Buneary said.

Snivy sighed once again. "Maybe if I say Oshawott put something in me?" Buneary still doesn't get it or even that. "How about if I say cookie inside a cake?"

Buneary didn't get it at first but then thinks about it. Cookie inside a cake? What does that even- She gasped in realization. Snivy, are you…. pregnant?" Snivy nodded slowly. Buneary hugs her with one arm since she's carrying Thunder. "This is great, Snivy! You'll finally get to be a mom like me!" Buneary suddenly thought of something pulling herself away from Snivy. "Does Oshawott already know?"

Snivy shook her head. "Not yet though."

"When will you tell him?" Buneary questioned.

Snivy looks down. "I'm still trying to figure out how to tell him."

Buneary tries thinking of something and then finally thinks of something. "Oh I know. Maybe you should tell him on Christmas Eve. That would be a great time to tell him."

Snivy starts thinking about it and says. "I guess I should wait and tell him on Christmas Eve. I wonder how he'll react to being a father?"

"I'm sure he'll be happy about being a father. Just like Pikachu when I first told him when I was pregnant with the triplets." Buneary said cheerfully. Suddenly the sleeping Thunder was squirming and waking from his sleep. Thunder yawned, opened his eyes and looked up at her mother. "Hello sweetie, did you have a good nap?" She said sweetly with a smile on her face. But then she thought of something again. "Hey Snivy, do you want to carry Thunder again?"

Snivy was hesitant at first but nodded. Buneary handed Thunder to Snivy once again. In Snivy's arms, he just stared at her with big cute eyes and put his paw in his mouth. "You're honestly so cute. Even when you're crying. I like those big eyes of yours. You look just like your father, the same goes to your brother Bolt. And maybe you two act just like him." Snivy giggles. Thunder starts to grab a hold of her nose. Snivy giggles at the way he touches her nose. "You're so silly Thunder."

Buneary continues watching Snivy cradling Thunder. She'll definitely make a great mother soon. And Oshawott would make a goofball of a father. She thought.

Three hours had passed and the tree was now fully decorated. There are colorful lights around the tree. There are also different color ornaments on the tree. Candy Canes were hanging from the branches. A long, red, and beautiful ribbon was all over the tree. And last but not least, the star on top of the tree.

Everyone watches how beautiful the tree leaves look. Serena looked at the tree in awe beside Ash. "It looks beautiful, Ash."

"Well it's passable but yeah it sure is." Ash rubbed the back of his neck. He then looks at the other Pokémon. "What do you guys think of the tree?"

All the Pokémon also agree. Delphox and Sylveon also think the tree looks beautiful. Bulbasaur, Pancham, and Oshawott thought it looked cool. As for Pikachu (holding Felicia), Buneary (holding Bolt), and Snivy (holding Thunder) all thought the same thing.

Pikachu looked down to Felicia. "What do you think, little one?"

Felicia looked at the tree with sparkling eyes. She has never seen anything this beautiful before. Bolt and Thunder also thought the same. All three of them even try to reach for the tree. The three Pokémon who are holding them laughed.

"It looks like they want to play in the tree." Snivy giggles.

Buneary also giggles. "Sure looks like it." Buneary looks down to Bolt. "You and your siblings really like the tree, don't you little cutie?"

Bolt looked up at her mom and made cute babbles. He then pulls Buneary's fluff to his face and cuddles with it. Buneary giggles because the babies love to cuddle into her fluff.

Pikachu and Snivy see this and laugh. "He sure loves to snuggle into Buneary's fluff." Snivy giggles while holding Thunder.

Pikachu laughs too. "He sure does. All three love to snuggle into her fluff. Mainly because of how soft, fluffy, and warm their mom's fluff is."

Snivy nodded. " This is one of the reasons why I'm excited to have a kid." Snivy smiles.

Pikachu got confused at that. "What do you mean?"

Snivy told Pikachu what she meant. And he was shocked and surprised but also happy for her. He also never thought Oshawott would do something like….THAT with her before. Snivy even told him and Buneary not to tell Oshawott about this until she tells him on Christmas Eve and they both promised.

And through the day, it has been great for a while. Until Snivy does an angry mood swings on Oshawott. Her anger honestly scares him. He tries to calm her down but she still keeps getting angry at him until she starts crying for no reason.

This was going to be a difficult secret to keep until Christmas Eve.

I still don't know if the Pokémon should give birth or just lay eggs.

What do you think?
