Heyyo :P I'm uploading again today because, well, why not? xP This one was one of the first I wrote and that was a few months back now... And I wanted to write something like this back when I started fanfiction... Better late than never... xD Just a general Ketchum family one really :P Hope you enjoy xD
Ages:
Ash: 24
Misty: 24
Ben and Katie: 6
James (Ketchum): 1
Disclaimer: I only own Ben, Katie and James :P
"Pikachu!"
My ears pricked up as my name was called by two high pitched familiar voices. Leaping from the sofa I was snuggled up on for my afternoon nap, I crashed into my master and best friend's six year old twins.
"Pikachu!" the boy of the duo, Ben, repeated as he tumbled onto the ground in a panic along with his sister, Katie. At this sudden noise the baby of the family, a one year old baby boy with chestnut hair and piercing lime green orbs began wailing from his position in his baby chair.
I was used to babysitting Ash and Misty's children while they were off doing… stuff… So I was quick to take his soother off the fireplace and pop it between the crying child's lips.
Now that James was quiet and the twins had finally stopped heavy breathing, I ran over to the two older children, muttering my name as I glanced from one to the other, desperate for answers.
"Pikachu…" mumbled Ben again, still slightly out of breath from running.
I was about to question for what seemed like the millionth time about what was wrong when I stopped. My friend's dear little faces were tear stained and their delicate noses slightly dripping. They were crying! That meant something awful had happened!
Suddenly my teeth bared and my yellow fur stood on end. Perhaps it was Team Rocket? I was about to growl in anger when I stopped and remembered. They weren't like that. Now they had children of their own, they had become quite good friends with Ash and Misty.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I turned to Katie. She was slightly smarter than dense little Ben and I figured I would be able to get some answers out of her.
"Pikachu…" I groaned when the red headed little girl repeated my name once again before I noticed she was just starting her sentence. "We heard mom and dad in the kitchen and-"
She was interrupted by Ben.
"They said we were accidents!" his chocolate orbs oh so similar to his father's grew wide with confusing and hurt. "Is that true Pikachu? Are we really accidents?"
I hesitated. I knew it was up to their parents to give them the details of how they came into this world were up to their parents as it was such a long and emotional event. Also, they were only seven years of age and I didn't want them to grow up too quick and learn all that yucky stuff!
Katie shoved her twin brother with the annoyance of being interrupted before turning back to me, her aquamarine orbs staring into mine.
"Tell us the truth, Pikachu, were we really accidents?"
I paused once again, making uncomfortable throat noises. I found it very difficult indeed resisting their young gaze with child-like innocence. I thought the situation over in my head.
Would Ash want me spilling the beans? No. But would the stubborn twins let me live after not giving them an answer? The answer is no, again. I'd have to give them an explanation that would make everyone happy… I suddenly had an idea!
Calling my own name triumphantly, I ran into the kitchen where Ash and Misty were hissing about the fact that the twins might have found out they were accidents, although the couple preferred to call them surprises.
Not bothering to ask the red headed young woman, I snatched the poke ball from her belt and ran back into the living room. My actions of course raised the suspicion of Ash and Misty but I ignored them and focused my attention back on the twins.
They're little eyes grew wide with excitement as I let the pokemon out of the poke ball. They grinned cheekily as Psyduck emerged from the sphere and went over to hug the dopey duck lovingly. He may have been extremely dumb but he was a massive hit with the children.
After letting them play with my pokemon pal for a little while, I explained to them that their mother had caught Psyduck by accident. After asking if they thought Misty loved Psyduck, they nodded their shocked heads so violently that they clicked while the duck blushed slightly, his beak turning into a real duck pout.
I told them that Psyduck was an unplanned catch and they were unplanned also but that didn't make Misty love them any less. Of course I told them that the same thing applied for their father.
Feeling a lot better about the whole situation, the twins kindly invited Psyduck and I to play the game of tag they had stopped when they overheard their parents talking.
Now, many years later, I found out that Ash and Misty were in fact watching me as I informed the twins that they were loved no matter the circumstance of their bringing into this world, both their eyes blinking proud tears.
"Aw we have the best babysitter don't we, Ash, honey?" I was told Misty said as she rested her hands on my master's chest.
"They sure do." Ash said before a cheeky grin took over his face as he pointed to their bedroom. "While they're busy, we could get busy ya know…"
Now Ash was 24, he didn't have a hat for Misty to knock down over his eyes but instead she slapped his bicep.
"You wish, Ketchum." Was Misty's response.
I was sure glad I missed that part of the conversation.
The End.
There you go, thanks a lot for reading :3 I'll be back on Monday because it's mine and my bro's anniversary so I'll be updating Dear Darlings then :P Thanks again xD
