I arose from my nap and I knew something was up. Opening my eyes sleepily, I strained to listen. After over a year of trying for a baby with no luck, Ash and Misty had gone to a special clinic to run some tests a few days back. This morning they had gone after the doctor rang saying the results were in. I was certain the tests went fine and that they just were being a bit unlucky with Misty getting pregnant.
But when I heard the door slam quietly and the scuffled footsteps in the hall filled with sadness, I knew something was wrong. Sitting up from my position by the fire, I sat and waited for either of the pair to shuffle in. As each minute past, my heart began to beat even faster. Was something terribly wrong?
Eventually, Ash kicked his shoes and made his way to the kitchen, letting out an inaudible sigh as he went. My heart clenched at the sight of my best friend. His eyes were barely open and his head was pointing to the floor. I could even see some distant tear stains trailing down his unusually pale face. Oh Ash...
My worried thoughts over my best friend soon moved over to his girlfriend as she flopped down on the sofa, her head in her hands. I gulped and slowly made my way over to the red headed young lady.
"Pika...?" I mumbled, nuzzling her fist that was now clenched on her side.
I didn't do anything else to get her because I was wary. She was obviously filled with the same deep sadness of Ash and wasn't quite sure of how she would react. Maybe she wouldn't want me there at all.
"Oh Pikachu..." she smiled at me despite her sorrow, reaching out to pull me onto her lap. "It's just awful..."
I didn't know what was awful but began licking the palms of her hand comfortingly anyway.
"Ash and I might have problems making a baby... Maybe we're too young or something is seriously wrong... I don't know but right now we just can't..." She finished her explanation but letting out a sob, clinging to me. My throat grew dry. How foolish of me just to assume they were just taking a little longer than most couples. There was something terribly wrong. I cuddled the young lady even closer, glancing over at my best friend who was leaning on the kitchen work top, texting. Although he didn't seem to be listening, his brown orbs were filled with sorrow and tears. It was obvious he had heard what Misty was telling me and the shocking news had hit him all over again.
"What am I going to, Pikachu...?" she gripped hold of me right, reverted my attention back to her. "I wanted a family with Ash more than anything but..."
I shushed her, nuzzling her stomach where a baby once was, desperately trying to console her. Of course you're going to have a baby, Misty. You and Ash are the most loving and deserving couple, of course things will work out.
"But what if they don't...?" her aquamarine orbs were no longer crying but they were still filled with a pain I couldn't imagine.
Things will work out. But if they don't, there are other ways. You can't give up on one of your dreams.
"Oh Pikachu... You're a real pika pal..." she smiled once again through the tears, reaching out to stroke my fuzzy head. I smiled modestly back at her before I saw something in the corner of my eye. It was the cream Disney baby grow that James had purchased the couple when they found out she was pregnant. I noticed that Misty was now glancing at Ash, watching him sadly text Gary of the devastating news. I giggled inwardly to myself, tugging on the baby grow and plopping a pacifier into my mouth. I slowly slid back onto her lap. After a few minutes of gazing sorrowfully at her boyfriend, Misty glanced back to me and let out a surprised shriek.
"What on earth are you doing?" she couldn't help but smirk slightly. The plan was going well.
I couldn't coo because of the soother that was in my mouth but I nestled into Misty, taking hold of her finger with my paw.
"Oh Pikachu..." her eyes filled with tears when she realised what I was doing. "Until Ash and I have a baby, you'll be our baby...?"
At this, my raven haired best friend looked up, smiling as Misty rocked me and held me close.
"Nice going buddy..." I could hear him mumble just for us. I could tell how grateful he was for helping cheer up his miserable girlfriend.
I just smiled inwardly, letting out some imitated baby coos.
I had been with them through so much already and I would be here to help see them through this as well. Hang in there, Ash and Misty, one day you'll have the family you've always dreamed of.
The End.
There you go, hope you enjoyed :3 Yeah I kinda got the idea for this from Marley and Me, after she finds out she isn't pregnant and is hugging Marley T.T Thanks again and I'll be updating Dear Darlings on the 28th :P Thanks :3
