Chapter 19: Ash And Ashley Have Another Big Announcement!

After Misty had Kevin a month ago, Ash, Ashley, and Aaron are preparing for a party that was Ashley's idea.

"I can't believe that you talked me into helping with the party again, Ashley." said Ash as he strung another strand of streamers, like before, while Aaron was playing in his room

"But you can believe how devious I can be." said Ashley as she finished blowing up the balloons once again.

"I guess that we have enough decorations up. What do you think, Ashley?" asked Ash, looking around the room to make sure that everything was ok.

"I don't know. I think that we need some more." replied Ashley as she looked at Ash's face to see what his expression was.

"WHAT?" asked Ash in shock as he looked at her.

"I'm kidding, Ash. I would never work you harder than you need too." replied Ashley, laughing at Ash's shocked look.

Ash started to laugh too since he fell for one of Ashley's old tricks again.

"Why don't we get ready for the party ourselves, Ashley?" asked Ash, getting his laughter under control.

"That sounds like a great idea, Ash." replied Ashley, getting done with her laughing fit.

They went and got Aaron ready first followed by Ashley in second and Ash in third.

(An Hour Later)

The party was at full blast with everyone that they knew there.

Mrs. Ketchum was the first one there followed by Professor Oak, Brock, Daughter and Felicity, Tracey, Misty, and Kevin, May and Drew, Dawn and Kenny, Paul and Zoey, Max and Molly, Professor Hale and his wife, Tonya, and so many more that I can't even try to name.

Ashley pulled Ash to the side where no one could hear them talk to each other with Aaron in her arms.

"How about we go ahead and give them the big announcement?" asked Ashley, looking at Ash's stomach and then, at his face.

"That sounds like a great idea, Ashley." replied Ash quietly as he followed Ashley and Aaron.

The three of them went to the front of the room so that everyone could see and hear them.

"Everyone, can we have your attention, please. Ash, Aaron, and I have an announcement. We are having baby number two." said Ashley with Aaron in her arms and Ash right next to her with a giant smile on his face.

Everyone was cheering for them when she said that.

Mrs. Ketchum walked up to Ash and gave him a hug, which he wasn't expecting.

"I'm so sorry about what I said two months ago to you, Ash." said Mrs. Ketchum with an apologetic look on her face.

"That's ok, Mom. You didn't know at the time." said Ash with a smile on his face.

Then Ash and Ashley was surprised with what happens next.

Everyone started to gather around them and gave them a hug one by one so that the three of them knew that everyone at the party were happy and were behind them as they were going to have their second child thanks to Ash, of course.

(An Hour Later)

The party was over and all of the guests were leaving, but before Steven left, he wanted to tell them something.

"Thank you for inviting me to the party and I hope that you'll get enough sleep so that you won't be tired for when I come tomorrow to check on the baby. Bye." said Steven, leaving.

"Bye." said Ash, Ashley, and Aaron in unison.

Once all of the guests were gone and Aaron in his crib asleep, they quickly cleaned up the place before they went to bed.

(In The Morning)

As soon as they got done eating breakfast and getting the dishes cleaned, the doorbell rang and when they opened it, Steven came in and started to set up his equipment in their bedroom like always.

"Are we ready to see how the baby's doing in there?" asked Steven, pouring the gel onto Ash's ever growing stomach once again.

"Yeah." replied Ash, Ashley, and Aaron in unison as Steven put the wand on his stomach.

Steven found the baby as soon as he put the wand on Ash's stomach and froze the picture.

"Well, the baby's doing fine in like usual just Aaron was at this stage." said Steven, cleaning the gel off of Ash's stomach.

Aaron just blushed as he was embarrassed by how Steven talked about him when he was still inside Ash, but the blush didn't last very long thanks to his Mom.

"I can't wait to have it out here with us in 4 months." said Ashley excitedly, which made Aaron almost fall out of her lap, but Ash caught him before he did, while Steven was putting things away.

Ash just gave her an exasperated look as he knew two things about her that would make her act this after being with her for so long: One, she was hyper for no reason like usual, or Two, she was just excited about having another baby in the house besides Aaron.

"Ok, Ashley. Settle down for Aaron's sake. See you next month, you four. Bye." said Steven, leaving since he didn't want to be in the same house since she surprised him today with her little outburst.

"Bye." said Ash, Ashley, and Aaron in unison once again.

As soon as he left, they got a call from the stadium telling Ash that he gets a six-month vacation since Ashley's been battling a lot as him so he won't lose his job.

After getting a six-month vacation and finding out that the baby's just fine like Aaron was as this stage in the pregnancy, Ash, Ashley, and Aaron are getting ready for May and Drew's wedding next month.
