Hello :P It is Wednesday so I am back for an update. I wrote this one almost a year ago now and found it again so decided to upload it. This one is about Clemont babysitting Ash and Misty's twins and I hope it's okay because I don't normally write about Clemont :3
Disclaimer: I own only Ash's kids :3
"Clemont, are you sure you're okay with this?" Ash glanced at the yellow haired male as he tugged on his jacket and reached for his keys. "If you're not, I can call my mom and get her to come home from work early."
Ash and Misty were introducing their good friends, Clemont and Bonnie, to their newborn twins when disaster struck. The red headed female had received a phone call from her sisters to say there had been an emergency at the Cerulean Gym and the two of them had to get there immediately. They didn't say what had occurred, but judging by the panic in their voices, it was serious.
"Yes, Ash, I'll be fine." Nodded Clemont, pushing his glasses further up his nose. "Granted, I haven't had much experience with infants but now would be a great time to learn. It would be my pleasure."
Misty glanced between her husband and the other male unsurely. She hadn't known Clemont as long as Ash but she knew that at times he could be under confident in his abilities. She did, however, trust the gentle man, very much so.
"Thanks so much for this, Clemont." she squeezed his shoulder gratefully before her husband helped her into her own jacket. "Bonnie is out in the garden playing with Ash's other pokemon and Pikachu is right here if you need him."
Upon hearing my name, I too smiled at the blue eyed male and waved my arm to show he had my full support and was there to offer help at any time.
"Yes, thank you very much Ash and Misty but I shall be fine." He smiled reassuringly at the new parents. He knew as well as anybody else how anxious they were to leave their newborn twins but he made sure to show as much confidence as possible to make them feel at ease.
"C'mon Mist, we gotta go now." Ash grabbed his car keys and tugged his girlfriend out the door after nodding thanks to his old travelling companion. "Good luck you two!"
And with that, the door slammed shut and the two young adults sped off to Cerulean City in their car.
As soon as they were gone, Clemont turned to me with a very worried expression on his face.
"Oh Pikachu, I do hope I live up to their expectations." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck unsurely.
I was about to offer him yet another smile and comforting words when suddenly the house was filled by a dismal wailing sound. I glanced at the blue orbed male. Now was time to put his babysitting skills to the test.
Laughing as Clemont sprinted off in an embarrassing fashion to the living room, I followed him there to see it was Katie who was fussing.
"Oh dear me, what do I do? Normally it's Professor Oak's grandson or the purple haired man helping out rather than me." he adjusted his glasses and bent down to where the orange haired baby girl was bawling in her baby seat.
I gave him a smile to show him he mustn't compare himself to others, nudging a book on how to calm a crying baby towards him. Clemont blushed slightly, cleaning the lenses of his spectacles before scanning the pages.
"Can I soothe her in any way by not picking her up or do I have to do that…?" he bared his teeth at me sheepishly while I gave him a very particular glance. Of course you have to pick her up!
"Ugh fine…" he sighed, picking up on my expression and cautiously reaching out to the crying little girl. "I just don't want to drop her…"
My mind began ticking for ways to soothe Katie without picking her up but my thoughts went around in circles. Clemont would just have to man up and relax.
I glanced back at the male, expecting an anxious expression but instead, his glasses were lit up in a way I had remembered from back when he was a teenager. Oh no, what was he planning?
I blinked in confusion as suddenly he got up to go to the other room after promising to be back in a few short minutes. While waiting for his return, Bonnie entered the room, her hands dusty from having fun with Ash's pokemon.
"Hey Pikachu…" she smiled at me but trailed off when she saw Katie was red in the face and crying her head off. "Pikachu why don't you do something?!"
The yellow haired teenager was about to comfort the little baby girl instead but I stopped her, nodding to where Clemont came bounding back in, an oh so familiar backpack on his back.
"Don't worry Katie, Clemont is here…"
I was about to smile as I saw the male was finally getting into his role of an Uncle before I stopped and frowned. I heard Bonnie gasp and point to where he and the now smiling infant were. Clemont had finally plucked up the courage to hold the baby girl but not in his own arms. He was using his Clemontic Gear Aipom Arm to rock her to sleep.
Bonnie and I gave each other an unamused look while Clemont laughed sheepishly now that Katie had begun to shut her eyes. What he said next caused us to groan.
"The future of babysitting is now thanks to science!"
The End.
There you go! Thanks so much for reading and hope it was okay :3 Clemont is good with kids but I'm sure he's pretty awkward with a delicate newborn :P Thanks again and I will be back next Wednesday :3
