Chapter 7: The Truth Shall be Revealed

*Alex's POV*

Ray and I had gone into our rooms and unpacked, letting the girls wander around and explore. I had wished Ray luck for his journey backtracking to catch up to me and for the bigger news he showed me. It was going to be a surprise. Once he showed me, I got to thinking of my own.

"Saw a jeweler's store on the way in," I muttered to myself, pulling out a toothbrush. "I could stop in there while the girls are sleeping." I walked into the bathroom and ran my toothbrush under the sink, wetting the bristles. "Yeah, that's a good plan. Surprise Chloe in the morning." As I applied toothpaste onto my brush, I heard a scream of joy come over from Ray's room, followed by a hard thud. "Heh, guess she's taking the news good." I started brushing my teeth.

"Please!" I heard Ray shout. "I need to breathe! No, not there!" A yelp of pain that turned to pleasure leaked into my room.

"Why not?" I heard Shadow ask.

"I already got you pregnant once!" Suddenly, I heard a door slam open, followed by quick footsteps, which I assumed were Aura's.

As I brushed, my girls walked back into the room with goodie bags in their arms.

"Alex!" Amber called out. "We got candy!" I spat into the sink.

"What kind?" I asked, rinsing my brush.

"Come out and see, A," Blayze responded.

"Stop calling me that!" I looked into the mirror again, adjusting my hair. A flash of crimson ran across my eyes again. I jumped back. "Son of a bitch!" Amber opened the door.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"What? Nothing! Nothing's wrong!"

"C'mon, this happened last week. Just tell me." She walked into the bathroom and closed the door. "What's scaring you?"

"Nothing!"

"Alex…" She glared. I sighed, knowing that she won't let up until I tell her.

"Fine." I sat down on the toilet cover. "I just...I don't know how to explain it. I keep seeing my eyes turn, like, red. It catches me off-guard. I don't like it. I think that...I'm not all human."

"Tch, of course you're not." I looked at her. "You're way too amazing in bed to be human. You're on the verge of impregnating one of us. You're dick is-"

"Okay, okay! I get it! But I'm being serious. Sometimes, I think I'm like Ray, y'know? Part Pokemon?"

"Impossible. You know your dad. And your mom...well, let's just say if she was a Pokemon, you would just now be turning human."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I stood up. "I better call my dad, just to make sure."

"Whatever makes you happy. But hurry up, okay? We rented 21 Jump Street and Chloe is dying to cuddle with you."

"Oh, she's feeling better?"

"Yeah, and she's happy about the results."

"Good. Yeah, just give me a minute, okay?" She smiled and nodded before leaving the bathroom. I quickly pulled out my phone. "Okay, Dad. Maybe you can shed some light on this." I dialed the number. The phone rang three times before it was answered.

"Hello?" The voice asked.

"Dad, hey, it's Alex. I need to ask you something. Am I part Pokemon?"

"I'm not your father." I froze.

"Wh-what?"

"I'm not your father, kid. You have the wrong number." I double-checked the number dialed. Fuck.

"Oh, my mistake." I hung up before it could get anymore awkward. I redialed, making sure it was my dad's number. It rang four times.

"This is John," he answered.

"Dad, it's Alex. Look, I need to know something."

"Oh, dear. I knew this day would come."

"So it's true?"

"Yeah, it's true. You're not the only redhead in the family." I stopped, confused.

"Wh-what? No, not that. I meant, am I part...Pokemon?"

"O-oh. Um, well...I can't answer that right now, I'm very busy. I'm sorry, son. Talk to you soon." He hung up.

"Thanks, Dad." I put my phone away. "Glad you could clear that up." I slammed my fist down onto the sink counter, making the hand soap fall. Something clattered onto the ground. Curious, I picked it up and examined it. It was a pregnancy test. My heart stopped.

It was positive.

I stepped out of the bathroom where I saw Chloe, Blayze, and Amber all waiting for me on the bed, 21 Jump Street queued up on the main menu. A grocery bag full of Kisses and chocolate bars sat in front of them. On the nightstand was a liter bottle of Pepsi just for me.

"About time, A," Blayze scolded.

"What did I say about calling me that?"

"Well, you shouldn't have kept us waiting. We saved you a seat next to Chloe."

"Thanks." I crawled in bed and lied down, Chloe resting her head and paws on my chest.

"Everything okay?" She asked me.

"No," I answered truthfully. She turned to face me.

"Well? Are you gonna tell me or no?" I sighed again.

"Just too much going on with my life, is all."

"Don't worry, we already know. Amber told us."

"She did?" I asked, intrigued. "When?"

"You were still in the bathroom. I'm worried about you, Alex." She placed a paw on my cheek. "We need you. I need you." I grabbed her arm.

"I know you do." I kissed her.

"That's cute and all," Blayze said, interrupting. Chloe pulled away from me. "But are we gonna watch a movie or audition for the next play?"

"Fuck you, Blayze," Chloe said teasingly.

"Honey, trust me. You will enjoy it." Amber withdrew under the covers as her friends bickered. I crawled over to her.

"Amb, you okay?" I asked her.

"I hate it when they fight," she replied. I wrapped my arm around her.

"Don't worry, they don't hate each other." As I comforted my Typhlosion, I heard something that stopped me dead.

"At least I'm not the one that's pregnant!" Blayze shouted. Chloe gasped.

"I am not!" She retorted.

"Then why is there a positive test on top of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom?"

"It's not mine! Maybe the previous occupant left it here."

"Girls…"

"There was no previous occupant!" Blayze continued.

"Then maybe it's yours!" Chloe accused.

"Can't be! Alex never came inside me!"

"Girls…"

"It could've dripped off of you and gotten inside," Chloe stated.

"Girls!" They both looked at me.

"What?!" They asked.

"If it's not Chloe's, and it's not Blayze's, then whose is it?"

"Umm…" A small voice came.
