December 23
2 days until Christmas
Bolt, Thunder, and Felicia are having their breakfast, being fed by their parents and Serena with their bottles while wearing their Christmas theme footed pajamas. Both the boys and their sister are so much like their father. They eat like him and would always demand for more.
Serena giggles at how fast Bolt is eating. "Wow, look how fast he's eating."
"(Same with Thunder.)" Buneary also giggles as she feeds Thunder who is also eating fast like his brother.
Ash sees this and chuckles. "Well if they keep eating like this, they'll be just like their dad. Right Pikachu?" He then smirks at the electric-type mouse.
Pikachu chuckled nervously. "(Well at least when feeding Felicia, she's very calm but gets very fussy just like her brothers.)" He said as he continued to feed his daughter.

Later in the day, the triplets are now having their bathtime. They really enjoyed having their bath, especially playing with their bath toys. They love to splash the water on their parents a lot.
When they were much younger, they did not like taking their baths. Though they like being in the water and being with their parents, they just didn't like the soap part. Every time Pikachu and Buneary scrubs them and wash them with the soaps, they start whining, making miserable shrieks, screaming, and crying. But when they cry, Buneary cries too. It upsetted her seeing her babies cry.
But now that they're a little older, they don't do that anymore. They don't cry, scream, or anything like that anymore. They now enjoy the soaps. Mostly because of the bubbles that float around. It's still really cute seeing them play in bubbles. But they would always try to eat the soap bubbles, but thankfully Pikachu and Buneary would always prevent them from doing that.
Right now, Pikachu and Buneary are washing the top of their heads while the triplets keep splashing water with their paws. The parents laugh every single time they make their cute laughs. Especially Buneary, she really loves their cute and adorable laughs.
"You three love your bathtime! You love your bathtime, yes you do!" Buneary cooed to the triplets.
This makes the triplets laugh and splash some more water.
"They seemed to be having lots of fun. Aren't they?" Pikachu laughs.
The splash they just made landed on both parents, which caused them to gasp. This made the triplets laugh.
Buneary gives them a look. "Very funny you three. But still cute!" She smiles at them and continues to scrub them.

After their bath, Pikachu and Buneary are now dressing the triplets in their cute little winter clothes.
The reason why they bathe them and put on their winter clothes it's because they're getting them ready to see Santa Claus for the first time at the Pallet Town Square. Both parents are really excited about this. Even Ash and Serena were excited too. Delia, Ash's mom, is also coming along with them and she too is excited for this.
Though Buneary was still worried as always, because she fears that the triplets will cry out of fear and unfamiliarity. She knows that because some kids would cry at the sight of Santa Claus. But Pikachu was able to convince her and told her not to worry. So now she's excited, but yet still worried.
"Are you three ready to meet Santa Claus soon?" Buneary cooed at them as she placed their hats on them.
The triplets kept looking at her while trying to reach for her with their little mittens and cooing. They really love their mother so much.
"Ready, Buneary?"
Buneary turns to Pikachu, now holding the triplets in her arms. "Yup! They're ready!" She said excitedly.
"Good." Pikachu goes to them, then tickles each of the triplets which makes them all laugh. They love it when their daddy tickles them. "You guys are so ticklish and silly." He chuckles.
He then noticed Buneary looking a little sad. "You alright, Bun? You look sad."
She looks up to him. "Sorry, I'm just…worried about…something"
"What is it?" He asks.
Buneary sighs. "I'm still worried about them meeting Santa."
"That's why?"
Buneary nodded. "Yeah…I'm worried that they'll cry at the sight of him or worse…the boys might wet themselves on him. I've never been this worried ever since that time when we took them to the Pokémon Center for their checkup and they ended up getting their first shots." Buneary then buried her face on the triplets head.
Pikachu smiles with sympathy. "There's no need to worry, Bun Bun. I know they're going to be fine. I want them to not only have the best but very special first Christmas ever. Especially since this is going to be our first Christmas as a family." He then starts to stroke the top of the triplets heads each.
This makes Buneary smile. The fact that he said he wants the babies to have a very special first Christmas and saying this Christmas is going to be their first one as a family makes her heart flutter.
"That was very sweet of you." Buneary gushed.
She moved closer to him and nuzzled her head into Pikachu's neck, causing him to blush. He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her back. The triplets don't know what's happening but they make happy giggles and nuzzle their parents as well.
"You guys ready?"
They stopped nuzzling each other and noticed Ash looking down to them. "(Yeah, we're ready, Ash.)" Pikachu said while Buneary nodded.
Ash smiles at this. "Good! We're about to leave. Come on, you don't want the triplets to miss their visit with Santa." Ash is now heading towards the front door with Serena and Delia waiting.
Pikachu turned to Buneary and said, "Well let's go have the triplets meet Santa!" With that he went out the door.
Buneary giggles at Pikachu's enthusiasm and follows him while still holding the triplets in her arms as they try to each for her. "Okay my little ones, it's time to go to town square for you to meet Santa Claus for the first time." She cooed at them.

Pallet Town Square
Pallet Town Square was always a beautiful place, but during the holidays, it's a winter wonderland. Beautiful, bright lights hung from the trees, and small shops' roofs. Poinsettia were
placed in windows and next to doors, while various decorations such as stockings and cuts out of angels and snowflakes hung in store windows.
While they were walking around the town square, a couple of other people and Pokémon noticed the triplets in Buneary's arms and complimented them. Saying stuff like how cute and adorable they look. They even compliment their adorable little winter clothes.
In the middle of the square, atop the gray, octagonal bricks, where a regal looking throne of green and gold stood, with none other than Santa Claus sitting, with an Alolan Sandshrew standing beside him and wearing an elf's hat.
Usually there would be a long line for kids to wait for their turn to sit on Santa's lap, but for now the line is short so they don't have to wait.
"Well the line is short, you guys can go in line so the triplets can finally see Santa." Ash said.
Pikachu and Buneary nodded and went to go in line.
"This is going to be so adorable once they sit on Santa's lap!" Delia gushed.
"It sure will!" Serena does the same.
Ash chuckles and smirks. "You two always find anything cute and adorable from the triplets."
Both Serena and Delia giggled. "Well you can't blame us! They're just absolutely adorable." Serena said.
"But let's just hope they don't get upset when they're near Santa."
Both Ash and Serena nodded with agreement.

Back with Pikachu and Buneary, they were in line and it was almost their turn. Thankfully, Pokémon are allowed to meet Santa, especially baby Pokémon, as long as they don't use any of their moves. Buneary was gently bouncing the triplets up and down as they kept walking.
Once they got in front of the line, the Alolan Sandshrew was standing in front of them kindly. "Allow me to give your kids to Santa." The Alolan Sandshrew asks.
Both parents nodded. Buneary handed the triplets to the Sandshrew, almost hesitantly. The triplets were confused on why their mom had just handed them over to this Sandshrew. They got even more confused when they saw the man in the red and white suit and hat and the white, long beard.
"(Alright Santa, here are the next kids; two Pichus and a Buneary.)" Sandshrew said as he handed the triplets to Santa. But as he handed them to Santa, Felicia started to whine.
Santa smiles joyfully at the triplets as he lowered them onto his lap. "Ho ho, and who are these three young Pokémon?"
Buneary gets a stick from the ground and starts tracing the names of the babies. Santa leans to what she wrote.
"I see, they're names are Bolt, Thunder, and Felicia, right?" Santa asks with a chuckle. Both Pikachu and Buneary nodded with smiles on their faces.
Santa chuckles once again. "I think those are great names for them. Merry Christmas to you three!"
Bolt and Thunder stared up at the white bearded man with curious coos and even trying to reach for his white beard. Felicia, on the other hand, stared up at the man in fear. Both parents saw this, Buneary even started to panic a bit. And before they knew it, she burst into tears.
Both of the parents' gasped and their eyes widened in fear. Pikachu looked nervous and unsure of what to do. Buneary on the other hand covered her heart, hated seeing her daughter crying. Her greatest fear came true.
But as Felicia was still in tears, she heard a jingle. Sandshrew was jingling silver jingle bells. It gets her attention. She wiped her tears away, no longer feeling teary eyed. She started to reach her arms out for the bells.
"You want this? Here you go! You can have this one and you can share it with your brothers." He gives Felicia one bell. Felicia was holding the bell, she shook it a bit, making a jingle noise. She giggled and kept jingling the bell.
Santa sees this and smiles joyfully at him. "You always know how to make the children happy." This makes Sandshrew beaming with pride.
Both Pikachu and Buneary sigh with relief. "Hey, thanks for getting our little girl to stop being teary eyed in front of Santa."
"No need to thank me. I always make sure the children never have their first meeting with Santa crying in front of him." Sandshrew said.
"That's why we thanked you." Buneary smiles.
After the picture was taken, Santa handed the triplets to Sandshrew then handed them back to the parents and the photo. "Well I hope you all have Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho!" Santa smiles joyfully.
"(Thanks! Merry Christmas!)" Buneary smiles widely. And with that, they left with triplets to go back to Ash and the others.
"See? I told you they would be fine. Aside from Felicia crying but she's fine." Pikachu tells Buneary as he carries the boys.
Buneary gives him a look. "Well you got lucky!" She then looks down to Felicia who was still happily jingling her new bell. "I'm so happy that you and your brothers got to meet Santa!" she said as she began to nuzzle Felicia which she loudly shrieked happily and shook the bell even faster and loud.
This makes both parents laugh and even the boys start to join in.
I know you all have waited for this for a long time now and it's finally here! One of you especially.
I'm going to try and finally finish this story even if it's not December anymore. I'll also try to do PokéChristmas 3.
