Chapter 3! Enjoy! Also the times are in the PM, even if I forgot the PM their all in the afternoon/early evening.

Ash and Misty returned to the house at 3:45 PM.

"It's official, we're expecting!" Ash said excitedly.
"Yep!" Misty said with only a tad less enthusiasm.
"That's great you two, now Ash come with me," Delia said as she walked towards Ash's room.

Misty went to sit down on the couch and flipped on the TV.

Misty's POV

I sat down on the couch flipping on the TV. I figured that Delia wanted to talk to Ash about maternity clothes, even though it'll be at least 3-4 months before their needed, it was good to get a head start.

Once again I found the PNN on and another strange broadcast. The screen read: Rocket claims Kanto, set sights on Johto.

"Thankfully the station is stationed here in Johto," the reporter started, "However the Kanto region is under Team Rocket's reign. Be on the lookout for these six, believed to be the best of the best under Giovanni."

The screen flashed to images of the 'best of the best' and I recognized Butch, Cassidy, Jessie, and James. There were two more but I couldn't make them out. They were new to me and looked to be about a year younger than Ash and I. I looked outside and saw nothing related to Team Rocket and once again the broadcast changed. The top story tonight was a robbery of a Pokémon Center in Goldenrod City.

'Strange,' I thought to myself, 'Goldenrod is #1 ranked in safety, I wonder what's going on here...'

Looking at time I saw it was already 4:15 PM so I went into the kitchen to help Mr. Mime prep dinner.

General POV – (Ash and Delia)

Delia led Ash into his room, showing off the array of clothing on the bed.

"What are these?" Ash asked, "They look like my clothes, did you take them out?"
"No dear these are new clothes!" Delia said, "At first glance they might seem like your normal ones however there not. These are your maternity clothes. You'll start wearing these once your clothes now get too tight."

Ash looked at the clothes again seeing that they were bigger. Then down at his stomach then back at his mom.

"How big am I going to get?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Oh it all depends, right now your fine and it's all up to how many kids you'll have," she replied.
"I thought I was having one," Ash said blankly to the floor.
"Well it could change, you have to let nature take its course on this one," Delia replied.

Ash continued to ask some more questions about the road ahead for his pregnancy and Delia happily answered them all.

The train of questions was broken by Misty calling, "DINNER!"

The two then went into the kitchen. The clock read 5:00 PM

"This looks great Misty and Mr. Mime!" Delia said.
"Great job guys!" Ash said.

They were all eating salmon with a ginger glaze along with rice and some green beans. Pikachu was enjoying some specialized pokémon food and so was Mr. Mime. They seemed to be in their own conversation.

"I can't believe I still have eight months to carry the kid," Ash said wrapping up his second helping quicker than usual (because he's eating for two, so to speak).
"Yep, now how did this happen exactly?" Delia said/slightly wondered aloud.
"I have no idea Delia," Misty said with a smile.
"Me either," Ash said.

Both the "carrot head" and the raven-haired boy both had a hypothesis but did not want to enrage Delia. So they obviously kept to themselves about it.

Once Delia and Misty finished, Mr. Mime and Delia were cleaning up the dishes. Misty offered to help but Delia said she and Mr. Mime had it under control. Misty was then going to talk with Ash but he and Pikachu were gone, presumably on the hill. Misty didn't go after them, she thought they needed some alone time. Instead she went to watch some TV and changed it from PNN to KTN (Kanto Television Network). There she was watching Pokémon Idol, a show were Trainers and their Pokémon try to out sing the competition. Once Mr. Mime and Delia were done with the dishes, they joined her.

Meanwhile the clock read 6:00 PM.

General POV – (Ash and Pikachu on the hill)

"I can't believe I'm creating life inside of me," Ash said to Pikachu.
"Pikachu," the creature said placing an arm on his stomach.
"Thanks Pikachu," he said to his best friend.

They just sat up there for quite some time before going back down to the house. The grass felt good against Ash's feet as he forgot to put on shoes before leaving. The sun was slightly setting once they got back at 6:30. The two then joined the other trio on the couch for some good old Pokémon Idol.

Ah, the parody of American Idol here XD
So keep reading everyone and I'll see you for chapter 4 soon.
Ciao!
