5 days till Christmas

Serena is busy wrapping presents for their friends, family, Pokémon, and a FEW presents for the triplets. She just finished writing letters to their friends and family. Every year they always throw a Christmas party here at home or at their friends' house. She was a little exhausted from all the wrapping she was doing, but she was almost done.

Ash looks at each of the presents. He noticed that almost most of them are for Bolt, Thunder, and Felicia. "Are the triplets really going to have this many presents for Christmas?"

Serena smiled. "Of course Ash. This will be their first Christmas. Buneary really wants them to have the best first Christmas. I think Delia and Dawn will definitely bring in more presents for them."

Ash sighed. "Tell me about it. They're obsessed with them. Even you, Serena. You're are obsessed with them too."

Serena made a nervous smile. "Well Bolt, Thunder, and Felicia are really cute."

Ash sighed and smiled. "Well I can't argue with that."

"Yup! And we're probably going to keep getting the same embarrassing question from our moms." Serena nervously laughed.

Ash sighed once again. "I know." He was very aware that everytime they either visited their moms or their moms visited them, they would always ask the same embarrassing question.

The embarrassing question was: will you two be expecting soon?' or 'We expect to have a lot of grandchildren from you two.' or 'You two would make adorable kids' and so on. This is the exact reason why he's nervous about being a parent in the future.

Meanwhile, Buneary and Snivy were busy having a conversation with each other while cradling and feeding Thunder and Felicia their bottles. Both Thunder and Felicia were wearing Christmas themed footed pajamas Serena bought for them at the store. Thunder's Christmas footed pajamas were red with Christmas trees on them and Felicia's footed pajamas were pink with snowmen on them. Buneary was feeding Thunder while Snivy was feeding Felicia. Buneary was amazed at how good Snivy was at feeding Felicia and how she cradled him. The conversation they're having was about how hard it is to take care of triplets.

"Taking care of three kids is more difficult than taking care of one."

Snivy laughs, not only because of what Buneary said but also at how fast Thunder and Felicia eat. "My goodness! They really have their father's appetite!"

Buneary laughs as well. "They sure do!" She then looked down on Thunder. "You heard that Thunder? You and your sister have your daddy's appetite." She cooed while feeding him.

Thunder just smiled and stared at his mom while being fed by her.

Buneary looks back at Snivy. "Let this be training on how to be a great mother." She looks back to Thunder and notices he finished his bottle. "Would you look at that? You finished your bottle. You must be so full aren't you?" Buneary sweetly said.

Snivy then notices Felicia finishing her bottle and starts whining. She panicked a bit and tried bouncing her to calm her down.

"What's wrong Felicia?" Why are you getting upset?" Snivy worried.

Buneary noticed that Felicia was about to have tears in her eyes. "Here allowed me to do it. Let's switch."

They then switched babies. Snivy gets Thunder and Buneary gets Felicia. Buneary tries patting the back of Felicia. After a few patting, Felicia burped. Kinda loud for a few months old Buneary.

"Wow! That was loud." Snivy said with her eyes widened.

Buneary laughed and cooed. "I know right? You had quite a burp didn't you Felicia?"

Felicia squealed with happiness and snuggles into her mother. Thunder looks up at Snivy and does the same thing to her. This honestly made Snivy blush.

Buneary saw this and giggled. "Looks like he adores you."

"I guess? But…..is this what it's like to be cuddled by a kid?" Snivy questioned.

Buneary nodded. "Yep! Soon when your kid is here 'he' or 'she' will always be cuddling with you."

Snivy looks down to Thunder snuggling her and smiles. "You're very cuddly aren't you Thunder?"

Thunder sticks his paw in his mouth and smiles at her. Snivy smiles back to Thunder. Honestly it wouldn't matter what kid me and Oshawott we'll soon have. A Snivy or an Oshawott. A boy or a girl. Who knows, I hope I really become a great mother. She thought.

Meanwhile, Oshawott and Pikachu were also having a conversation but this conversation is about battling. Oshawott brags about being the strongest water-type like always and Pikachu rolling his eyes about that. Pikachu was also holding Bolt in his arms who just squirmed a lot and made happy noises.

"There's no need to brag about being the strongest water-type." Pikachu said.

"Why? Are you jealous because I'm always the strongest water-type in the house?" Oshawott brags.

"Dude you're not even close." Pikachu laughed. "You're only saying that because Squirtle and Palpitoad aren't here with us." Pikachu jokes, causing Oshawott angrily glare at him. "Kidding, kidding, you are the strongest water-type Oshawott." He reassured.

Oshawott smiles mockingly. "Well then how about we go outside and I can show you how strong I am." He brags once again.

Pikachu shook his head. "No can do Oshawott. I have Bolt here with me. I can't leave him out of my sight" He looked down on Bolt who was trying to reach for him. Pikachu suddenly thought of something. "Hey Oshawott, do you want to hold Bolt?" He offered the baby Pichu to Oshawott.

Oshawott rabidly blinked. "W-why?" He stuttered nervously.

"Well you never get to hold any of the triplets, so why not?" And to also teach you how to be a good dad to your unborn kid. Pikachu thought.

Oshawott seemed hesitant, but nevertheless, he took the baby Pichu from Pikachu with obvious tense paws. Holding Bolt underneath his arms, Oshawott eyed the baby Pichu with trepidation. Bolt, in turn, was making quite a face; it appeared that he was angry.

"Is he angry with me? Did I do something wrong to him? Did I offend him or something." Oshawott asked Pikachu warily.

"Nah." Pikachu chuckled. "Sometimes, Bolt and Thunder just make those kinds of faces! They like seeing what they can do with their face now that they're a little older."

Oshawott stared down at Bolt's Christmas themed pajamas; the Pichu was outfitted in green with Santa Claus faces on them. They were overly adorable and this made Oshawott smile.

"Aww, just look at this beautiful little Buneary!"

Oshawott turns when he hears Snivy. She was cradling Felicia, tickling the baby Buneary's stomach with her vines and causing her to giggle. Oshawott smiles at how happy Snivy looked. And then he thought of something. You know it wouldn't be that bad if we have a kid of our own in the future. He thought.

Suddenly Oshawott noticed Bolt was holding something. His scalchop. Bolt was placing the scalchop in his mouth. "Uh maybe don't put that in your mouth Bolt." Oshawott laughed nervously as tries to take it away from Bolt's mouth.

Bolt didn't listen and continued with the scalchop in mouth.

Pikachu nervously laughs and takes Bolt from Oshawott's arms. "Uhh Bolt, you may want to take the scalchop out of your mouth." He then takes the scalchop out of Bolt's mouth which made him whine and tried reaching for the scalchop. "No Bolt, Oshawott's scalchop is not something to put in your mouth. If you want something in your mouth, do it to one of my ears."

He lowered his ears to Bolt. Almost immediately he calmed down and giggled when he played with his father's ears.

Oshawott sees this and laughs. "They really like to play with your ears don't they?"

Pikachu laughs as well. "You have no idea. They love playing with me and Buneary's ears a lot. Especially Buneary's ears, they also love to pick her nose a lot for some reason."

They both laughed together. But then they heard Ash calling them. "Hey guys, can you two help me wrap these gifts please?"

With that, Pikachu and Oshawott along with Bolt in Pikachu's arms went to go help Ash with the gifts.

During this Oshawott starts thinking. Hmm? If me and Snivy ever have a kid of our own in the future I hope I become a great dad to the kid and hopefully our future kid would love me back as well. He keeps thinking while he continues wrapping the gifts with Pikachu and Ash.
