Chapter 6: Getting Ready For The Baby!
After getting a nice long vacation from the stadium, Ash and Ashley are waiting for Steven to come to find out what the gender of the baby is so that they can get the nursery ready.
Steven rang the doorbell and Ashley let him in where he went straight into the bedroom and began setting stuff up.
"Are you ready to find out if it's a boy or a girl?" asked Steven, pouring the gel onto Ash's stomach.
"Yeah." replied Ash and Ashley in unison.
Steven put the wand onto Ash's stomach and found a good picture of the baby.
He froze the picture and he cleaned off Ash's stomach before he took a good look at the baby.
"Well, it looks like you two are having a boy." said Steven, looking at the picture hard.
"Woo hoo!" said Ashley excitedly.
"I'm so glad that you're excited, Ashley. The baby's doing fine so keep on doing what you have been doing and everything will turn out just fine in 4 months. Well, I'll see you next month. Bye." said Steven, leaving.
"Bye." said Ash and Ashley in unison again.
Once Steven was gone, Ashley got an idea that involved Ash, like always.
"Hey, Ash. How about Mom and I go and get the stuff for the nursery while you stay here with the Pikachus and relax." said Ashley as she was about to leave.
"But I want to go and help pick things out too." said Ash, stopping Ashley from leaving.
"I know you do, Ash, but you're already helping me by having this baby for the two of us." said Ashley, putting her right hand on Ash's left cheek and her left hand on his stomach.
"Ok, Ashley, but once he's born, I'll go out whenever I want to." said Ash, finally giving up the fight.
"Ok. See you later, Ash. Bye." said Ashley, giving him a kiss goodbye on the lips, but Ash put his arms around her to hold her in the kiss longer.
"Bye." said Ash as they broke apart.
Ashley left as soon as they broke apart with a giant blush on her face.
(Two Hours Later)
Ash was sitting on the couch, watching TV, when he heard the doorbell ring.
As soon as he opened the door, Ashley and Mrs. Ketchum brought the crib in and set it down in the nursery, which was right next to their bedroom.
The crib was a simple white color with a Pikachu mobile, which was pretty cute.
"Ash, would you mind bringing the bag of clothes in from the car?" asked Ashley, sticking her head out of the nursery.
"Sure, Ashley." replied Ash as he went out to get the bag of clothing from the car.
He was back before they even knew that he was gone.
"Thanks, Mom, for helping me today." said Ashley, hugging Mrs. Ketchum.
"No problem, Ashley. I love to help out with the first grandchild and all. Bye." said Mrs. Ketchum, hugging Ash before she left them.
As soon as she left the house, Ashley went into the nursery to take care of the clothes with Ash following behind closely.
"Didn't you tell her that we're having a boy?" asked Ash, helping Ashley out.
"No because I want it to be a surprise for everyone, Ash." replied Ashley, looking at him.
"Wow. They look cute, Ashley." said Ash, picking up an outfit and held it up so that he could get a better look at it.
"Thanks, Ash, but Mom picked out the one that you're holding up." said Ashley as he handed her the outfit to wash up with a blush on his face.
(Later That Evening)
They were getting ready to go to bed when Ash found that his sweatpants couldn't him anymore.
Ashley, do you have a pair of sweatpants that I could use?" asked Ash as Ashley came out of the bathroom.
"I do. They have an elastic waistband. What happened to your pair of sweatpants?" asked Ashley, getting into her chest of drawers and pulling out a pair of light blue sweatpants and handed him the sweatpants.
"Well, my pair of sweatpants doesn't fit me anymore since I'm 5 months along. Why do you have a pair of sweatpants that are bigger than what you normally wear?" asked Ash, putting the pants on.
"Because I thought that I would be the one having the baby around here, Ash." replied Ashley as she jumped onto the bed and crossed over to Ash's side of the bed and pulled him onto the bed on his back.
"You really want me to go to bed now, don't you?" asked Ash, looking at Ashley as she was lying down.
"Yes, Ash, for the millionth time already!" replied Ashley as he was lying down too.
Just before they could go to sleep, Ash felt the baby kick and he quickly got Ashley up to feel the baby kick too.
They looked at each other with amazement in their eyes and then, they went to sleep with two hands on his stomach.
(In The Morning)
They were awoken by a bright light, which was coming from Ashley's nightstand.
"What's going on, Ashley?" asked Ash sleepily.
"The egg is hatching." replied Ashley, putting her glasses on.
They watched in amazement as the egg hatched into a Pichu.
It jumped at them and then, it jumped onto the Pikachus and they were surprised to have a Pichu with so much energy in the house and wondered where it got its energy.
"Congratulations, Pikachu." said Ash and Ashley in unison as they were looking at the two Pikachus and the Pichu.
After finding out that the baby is a boy and the egg hatching into a Pichu with lots of energy, Ash and Ashley are gonna run into a bunch of people that they wish that would just leave them alone.
