MISTY POV
Not long after the wedding, May and Drew were making plans for their honeymoon. They wanted to go somewhere romantic, but not too far away. This was where my plan came in.
I had been saving my funds from the gym, which was doing great, by the way, to get something for May and Drew. It was to thank them for everything they've ever done for me, and because they deserve to get away and be happy. It was all I wanted and more.
Ash had suggested the Orange Archipelago, but I thought that would be too crowded and not private enough. Then I thought of the Seafoam Islands in Kanto. They were small, quaint, and utterly perfect for a honeymoon.
I bought tickets for them, and while they were sitting in the living room on Drew's computer, I walked in with a big smile on my face.
"What are you smiling about?" May was the first to notice me.
"Only…." I paused for dramatic effect. I pulled the tickets out from my back pocket. "….this!"
Drew leaned up and took the tickets. His eyes bugged out of his head, and May looked at me in shock.
"You didn't."
"I did." I smiled. May jumped up and hugged me.
"I love you so much right now Misty!" she said, and I hugged her back.
"Yes, yes, I know. Now go get ready, ya stinking lovebirds!" I grinned as they left the room, May talking excitedly about how lucky she was and Drew just nodding. He looked back at me and grinned.
"I take it they took it well." Ash walked in with the twins by his side.
"Yeah, May was over the moon, and Drew looked just as happy."
Ash smiled, and I smiled back. Everything was right. Everything was as it was meant to be.

Drew and May left for their honeymoon the next day, and they were going to stay there for about four weeks. But because May loved to travel, they were going to see some of the sights on their way back home. They wouldn't be back in Hoenn until December. I would be a little lonely without May, but I have Ash and the twins to take care of me.
"You'd better take care of her while I'm gone Ash," May said sternly. "If you don't, you'll regret it."
Ash chuckled and hugged her.
"We'll be fine, I promise." he said. She hugged him back.
"I'm going to hold you to that." she said with a wink. Then she climbed into Aunt Caroline's car. Aunt Caroline was going to drive them to the port, where they would say their goodbyes.
As far as May being pregnant goes, we went to the doctor and found out that she had just had a severe case of the stomach flu, but the real effects had been negated by the sick nervousness she'd had. It wasn't that she didn't want kids, but she wanted to wait until she and Drew were married longer first.

Things settled into a slow, steady, but easy rhythm. We took turns watching the twins, and Ash taught them everything he knew about battling. I worked at my gym, and everything was finally easy. Finally right. Finally as it all should be.

A/N: Mundo shortness. Yup. But I'm going to make the next chapter the last, and then a super long A/N for you. I'd just like to thank you all for your awesome support, reviews, and amazing ideas along the way. This story has been a great time for me, I've had a lot of fun writing it, and reading your epic reviews.
So continue to do so now, while I work on the last chapter of my best work ever. Sigh. I'll try to have everything done before midnight tonight, but no guarantees.
Anyway, review please.
