Old rivals, new friends

Chapter 8: Meet the family

"So we don't hate them any more?" Meowth asked after hearing about what happened in the cave.

"No. They're cool," James replied.

"I could have sworn Butch said Cassidy was his "wife" when that women showed up back there," Jessie said curiously.

"He did," James confirmed.

"Let's get into some regular clothes," Jessie said as they came into town. The three walked up the town's only hospital. "This must be it," Jessie said as she walked in.

"I hate hospitals! I'll stay out here," James whined as he refused to follow Jessie in.

"Come on, James. Don't you want to see the little baby?" Jessie said in a cutesy voice.

"Tell them to send me a picture . . . ah!" James yelped as Jessie grabbed his arm and dragged him inside.

"Anyone home?" Jessie said as she peeked her head into the room the nurse said they were in.

"Hey, Jess," Cassidy said as she held her new baby.

"That was quick," James said as he sat down in a chair.

"Oh, yeah. Just flew by," Cassidy replied sarcastically.

"Oh, he's so cute!" Jessie said while pushing Butch out of the way to see the baby. Cassidy laughed as Butch nearly got knocked down.

"Excuse you!" Butch said irritably.

"Is it a boy?" Jessie asked Cassidy, ignoring Butch.

"Yes. Which is good, because my parents painted the nursery blue and filled his little closet with blue clothes. Yes, they did," she said while stroking the baby's face gently.

"So your parents are adopting him?" Jessie asked her, not knowing what Butch had told James.

"Yeah," Cassidy replied softly. "They should be here any minute," she added while handing the baby to Butch.

"Well, we'll be going, then. Congratulations," Jessie said as she hugged Cassidy. "By the way, nice ring. Good choice Butch," she added while taking Cassidy left hand and eyeing her wedding ring. They both gasped softly.

"Don't worry, we won't say a word," James said as he got up and followed Jessie out.

"See you guys!" Butch yelled after them. He gave Cassidy a suspicious look.

"Hey you were the one who let it slip that we were married," Cassidy said while informing Butch about what he had said back in the cave.

"Think they'll talk?" He asked her nervously.

"I don't think so," Cassidy replied with a small smile. Butch handed the baby back to Cassidy and kissed her on the top of her head.

The End

A/N: I have been wanting to write something like this for a while. I always wanted to make Butch and Cassidy parents
