Dear Mist,

I didn't think that I could fall more in love with you. Today, on the 16th February and during the early evening of a winter Kanto Day, I was proven wrong.

When I was ten years old and you pulled me out of the river, you made me experience new emotions I hadn't really experienced before. You made me irritated when you kept on and on about your damn bike. You made me laugh with your fear of bugs and witty comments. You made me soften when you struggled but began to show yourself to the world more and more. You made me pumped when you cheered me on with my battles and never let me give up. You made me fall in love, little by little but then when I allowed myself to feel this for you; I was engulfed by passion for you, your mind and your heart.

My life was an adventure by going on all those journeys and experiencing battles and facing Team Rocket over and over again. That was an adventure but it didn't prepare me for the one that I would face when I offered my heart to you. Together we experienced love, desire, curiosity, struggles, more love, perseverance and even greater love on top of that. Together we have experienced laughter, loss and shared our lives and hearts with one and other. I thought that our lives couldn't get better than all that and that I couldn't fall deeper in love with you than that. I couldn't have been more wrong. Two days after Valentine's Day, you gave birth to our beautiful twins and I couldn't be more in love.

When I was little, my mother told me of how I will never truly experience love until I have children with the right person.

When we made peace with Team Rocket, Jessie and James taught me that even the darkest hearts can become pure when they bring life into the world. James told me that, like him, when I had children I would also be born myself.

He began saying this when I was a boy of 16 and now I am a man and father of almost 20 and I understand exactly where he is coming from.

Like my love for you, watching you deliver our Benjamin and Katie gave me more emotions than I have felt in my life. I always thought that the birth and babies were icky but watching them enter the world has been one of the most beautiful and life changing moments of my life. My body was taken over by a love, wonder and pride. I was so proud of how brave you were and I always knew you were going to be the best mother. My assumptions were correct when you held them for the first time and I could see you had become even more complete yourself.

When you were asleep, I held both of our babies in my arms and spoke to them. I told them about how my father wasn't really a proper dad to me. I told them how amazing my mom, their grandmother, was and how they're so lucky to have her in their life and the most amazing mother in the world who would give them everything. I cried a little and my voice shook but I knew that they understood me. I always thought that when I was a father that I would be the one teaching them things. I was wrong once again. They were less than a few hours old and they has already taught me how to love, care and cherish with all of my heart. Those beautiful little beings had been made by us with love. I promised to love them forever and unconditionally. They came from your body but they will forever be in my mind and heart. Benjamin and Katie Ketchum gave me the greatest gift and title in the world. I am their father. And I will care, protect and be in love with them with all my heart and long after it stops beating.

My beautiful Mist, we spent Valentine's Day together just a few days before but this is the greatest gift that I can ever be given. Thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to raise life with you. Thank you for letting me be a father. Thank you for letting me fall in love with you all over again. Thank your for everything.

PS: this time I don't miss you. I don't want to look at the past because our wonderful babies are not in it. I don't want to be without you or them for a single second.

Thanks a lot for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 As soon as February hit, I knew I wanted this chapter to be mega PokeShipping romance and love but it was originally meant to be Ash as an old guy looking back on all their memories. I will definitely be doing that sometime in the future, whether it's with this story or another. I enjoy writing as Ash because he's so positive and sweet and there's a lot more to him than just a Pokemon Master :3 Thanks again and I hope you all enjoyed but especially you, boo :P I will be back on Wednesday with Pikachu Tales so see you then!
