I really love writing Misty's sisters, and I think Lily has one of the most interesting personalities because she seems to clash with Misty the most. So this one was super fun!

Aiden and Michelle: 5 years old


An Unwelcome Guest

"So, you're super-hot and super fertile. That's like…every woman's worst nightmare."

Ash sighed loudly and lowered his spoon. "Lily, who let you in my house?"

The pink haired woman was indeed standing just a few feet away from the table, examining a box of cereal that had been left on the counter. "Misty, duh. I have to say, though, I don't get how you're that potent when you eat junk like this for breakfast."

"You do know it takes two people to make a baby, right?" Ash asked, his tone only growing more annoyed. "Misty's just as 'fertile' as I am. The doctor actually congratulated us for it."

"Well of course he did," Lily scoffed, putting the cereal box down. "A couple of Buneary like you two are the ones who keep him in business."

Ash's agitation continued to increase. He never thought it was a good time for his sister-in-law's meddling and inappropriate questions, but first thing in the morning was definitely the worst.

"Three kids isn't a lot," Ash grumbled, getting to his feet to carry his now empty bowl over to the sink. "You act like Misty and I do nothing but pop out babies."

"It'll only be three if it's not twins again," Lily smartly reminded her brother-in-law.

Ash's face paled. He was almost positive it wouldn't be another pair of twins, but that thought had admittedly crossed his mind on more than one occasion, and it scared the hell out of him. Refusing to let Lily know that, he shook his head and calmly retorted, "It's kind of hard to complain about that sort of thing when the two of us make the cutest kids ever."

"Can't argue with that!" Lily chirped, shrugging her shoulders. "My niece and nephew are super adorable."

Misty came striding into the kitchen, her sea green eyes shifting between Lily and Ash. Before she could even say anything, Ash raised his eyebrows and frantically nodded towards Lily. He looked spastic, but fortunately for him, Misty knew what he was trying to get across to her.

"Your super adorable niece and nephew are upstairs," Misty informed her older sister, gaining the pink haired woman's attention. "I just woke them up. Why don't you help them pick out their clothes for the day?"

Lily's face lit up. "Ooh, my favorite!"

She scurried past Misty, who smirked and playfully rolled her eyes.

"You've gotta tell me before you just let her in here," Ash grumbled, shaking his head as he turned back to finish washing out his bowl.

"I'm sorry," Misty apologized earnestly. "I didn't have time. I opened the door and she just strolled right in."

"You could've at least told me you called her to come over!" Ash whined.

"It was kind of a last minute thing," Misty admitted, now sounding more sheepish. "My mom was supposed to watch the twins today, but something came up. With Daisy and Violet both out of town, Lily was my only option."

That didn't seem to placate Ash. Picking the bowl up to towel it off, he complained, "She ruined my breakfast with all these gross comments about our sex life. I ought to do the same thing to her and see how she likes it!"

"I've thought about it, but she'd be more than happy to get into the grimy details," Misty replied, a shiver going up her spine as she wrapped her arms around herself. "And I'd rather not imagine my sister and Dorian doing…any of that."

Ash's face twisted in disgust. "Your sister is kind of a mess, huh?"

"You're not just figuring that out, are you?" Misty asked, her smirk returning. She watched intently as Ash finished toweling off the bowl and placing it back in the cupboard where it belonged. "You know, I find it really attractive when you do the dishes."

Ash turned towards his wife and raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?"

Misty shrugged her shoulders. "There's just something about it. Maybe because it makes you look so mature and responsible. I think that's cute."

Ash probably could've taken that as a backhanded compliment, implying that he wasn't mature or responsible, but he didn't, especially since he knew that was kind of true sometimes.

"Just cute?" Ash teased, tilting his head. "Not super-hot?"

"That too," Misty relented, her smirk widening.

"Lily called me super-hot before," Ash added, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Gross," Misty grumbled, sticking her tongue out at the thought.

Ash seemed to contemplate it for a moment before musing, "Maybe she teases us because she's jealous."

Misty grimaced and gently shoved Ash's shoulder. "Ugh, stop, you're making it worse."

"They used to make fun of us all the time when we were kids," Ash recalled, leaning back against the counter. "Calling us runts and pretty blatantly implying I wasn't very attractive. Guess the tables really turned, huh?"

Misty arched an eyebrow. "So are you now insinuating my sisters think you're attractive?"

"Stranger things have happened," Ash replied with a shrug. "Girls seem to be really into me, so why not them? Maybe they dream about me and don't want you to know."

Misty rolled her eyes so hard she swore she saw the inside of her head. "This is honestly the worst conversation I've ever had with you. And that's saying something."

Ash chuckled and moved closer to Misty, craning his neck until their noses were touching. "You love me."

He'd said it in a teasing, sing song voice, causing Misty to laugh. "You're right; I do."

The two started to kiss, completely forgetting where they were or what they were doing before that as they became entangled in one another.

"Oooh, I see you're making more than breakfast in here!"

Ash and Misty quickly separated, both of their faces burning red as they whipped around to glare at the commenter. Lily was standing in the doorway, her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face. Aiden and Michelle were standing at her side, carefully glancing between their aunt and their parents.

"Really, Lily?" Misty deadpanned. "In front of the kids?"

"They don't know what I'm talking about," Lily refuted.

"Mommy was making cake?" Aiden asked, looking up at his aunt.

Lily was about to respond with a smartass comment, but Misty, who was wise to her sister's antics, was quick to cut her off. "No, baby. Mommy wasn't making cake."

"Oh." Aiden frowned, clearly disappointed by that answer.

"Maybe we can make a cake later," Misty suggested, causing her son's face to light up. "How's that sound?"

"Good!" Aiden giggled.

"You want to make a cake too, Shelly?" Misty asked kindly, turning her attention onto her daughter.

"Yeah!" Michelle cheered.

Lily's smirk widened as the twins hopped away from her and towards their parents instead, close enough that they could grab onto Misty's hands and playfully tug at her. "They distract pretty easily, huh? Just like their dad! Lucky for you, baby sister."

Misty didn't seem impressed, shooting her sister a deadpan look as she freed her hands and placed them on the twins' heads instead. "You don't have much room to talk, you know."

Either Lily didn't understand the snide comment, or she chose to ignore it, as she didn't respond and simply walked over to the table to pull out a chair and sit down. Ash was doing the same for Aiden and Michelle, and when he realized Lily had sat down as well, he looked less than impressed.

"You expect us to feed you, too?" Ash quipped.

Lily waved a dismissive hand at her brother-in-law. "No, I already had my breakfast."

"Which was…?" Misty prodded.

"Coffee," Lily chirped as she pulled out her cell phone.

"That's not breakfast," Misty reminded her sister.

"It is for me!"

Aiden, who had just hopped into his chair, furrowed his brow. "That stuff tastes like mud."

Ash tried (and failed) to choke back a laugh. "I don't disagree, but how would you know what coffee tastes like, little guy?"

"I asked Grammy to let me try it once –cause I wanted to know what it tasted like," Aiden explained. "And it tasted like mud."

Lily looked offended by the comparison, which Misty took notice of and smirked at, but said nothing out loud.

"Well, what do you two want for breakfast, since coffee is out?" Misty asked teasingly.

"Bacon!" Aiden cried.

"You need to eat something else with the bacon," Misty snickered.

"Oh. Umm…eggs!"

Misty giggled again. "Michelle, is that alright with you?"

"Uh huh!"

Lily appeared intrigued. "Ooh, look at these two getting along! That's cute."

"Hey, they're nowhere near at each other's throats as much as we were as kids," Misty scoffed, walking over to the fridge to retrieve the ingredients she needed for the twins' breakfast. "Compared to us, they're a dream come true."

Switching her blue eyed gaze between her nephew and niece, Lily inquired, "are you two going to pick fights with your little brother or sister?"

"Lily!" Misty cried, whipping around to glare at her sister.

"What?" Lily sighed out of exasperation. "Little siblings need to be kept in check! Trust me, I would know."

"I know that's supposed to be a knock on me, but it kind of loses its impact when you were getting bossed around by Daisy and Violet too," Misty scoffed.

Michelle's eyes widened. "Aunt Daisy and Aunt Violet picked on Aunt Lily?"

"Sometimes," Misty replied casually.

"Only when we weren't picking on your mommy!" Lily cried. "And that was most of the time!"

"You don't need to remind me," Misty grumbled.

Michelle hummed nervously and shifted her eyes. "I don't really wanna pick on the baby. That doesn't seem very nice."

"You're right, Shelly, it isn't nice," Misty agreed. "And you know that because you're a very sweet little girl! Your Aunt Lily was not."

"Sounds like Aunt Daisy and Aunt Violet weren't either," Aiden murmured.

Now both Ash and Misty couldn't hold back their laughter. They both began guffawing, Lily scowling at her unbothered young nephew. "You really are like your dad, aren't you?"

Aiden showed off a toothy grin, indicating that he was very much taking that as a compliment.

Once the twins were set up with their breakfast, Ash and Misty were able to begin getting ready to head out for their respective jobs. Michelle, who still had quite an attachment to her parents, was quick to notice this, and even quicker to become unhappy with it.

"Mommy…" Michelle whined, sliding off of her chair and scurrying over to Misty. Lily had still been busy with her phone, but she did look up when she heard Michelle's sad little plea. The pink haired woman turned her head, realizing her niece was hanging onto her mother's leg.

"What's wrong, Shelly?" Misty asked patiently, even though she already knew the answer.

"I don't want you to go," Michelle murmured.

"I know, you never do," Misty sighed, toying with her daughter's hair. "But I'll be back later! And in the meantime, you'll have so much fun with Aiden and Aunt Lily!"

Michelle groaned, hugging Misty's leg more tightly. "No, Mommy. Don't go."

Misty frowned and bent over to pick Michelle up. Still watching the pair, Lily asked, "Is she always this clingy?"

"Kind of," Misty breathed. "It's gotten worse since I've been pregnant. I think it's part jealousy, part protectiveness. Don't worry too much; she won't be like this the whole time. Everyone's told me she'll pout for a little bit, but after an hour or so she cheers up."

That wasn't good enough for Lily. Putting her phone down on the table, Lily got to her feet and walked over to her bag, pulling a poke ball out of it. Misty furrowed her brow, confused by the sphere's very presence and unsure of what exactly her sister was doing with it.

"Hey, Michelle," Lily beckoned, earning her niece's attention. Once Michelle had looked up at her, Lily held the poke ball up so the young girl could see it clearly. "Want to play with my Pokémon?"

The young girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded her head.

"Cool!" Lily chirped, just flicking her wrist so the sphere popped open. A Seel was released from it, joyfully clapping his fins together once it was out.

As soon as she saw the Pokémon, Michelle gasped and held her hands out towards him. "So cute!"

Misty smiled and placed her daughter on the floor, next to the water type. Seel immediately took the same interest in Michelle as she had in him, and was more than happy to have the child pet his head.

With Michelle now distracted and happy, Misty turned towards her sister with an obvious look of surprise. "That was impressive."

Lily smirked and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Thanks, I know!"

"Did you think of that ahead of time?" Misty asked, ignoring Lily's self-congratulatory response.

"No," Lily admitted after a beat of silence…the result of her determining whether she should fib or not. "I've always got a Pokémon on me, just in case."

"That's also impressive," Misty murmured.

"I just know Aiden and Michelle both really like Pokémon," Lily continued, now taking her turn to ignore Misty's snide comment. "I figured if I took Seel out and let her play with him, Michelle might not be as upset about you leaving for the gym."

"Well…I appreciate it," Misty sighed, brushing some of her hair behind her ear. "Thank you."

"No problem!" Lily chirped.

Ash came trampling down the stairs, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Michelle playing with Seel. He started moving again, more slowly this time, and approached Lily and Misty.

"Where'd that Seel come from?" Ash asked, pointing at the sea lion Pokémon.

"Lily brought him," Misty replied. "Apparently, she's always got a Pokémon on her, and when she saw Michelle start to get upset about me leaving, she thought taking him out might cheer her up. It worked!"

"Wow, that's almost unbelievable," Ash remarked.

"What, me helping out instead of just being a pain in your ass?" Lily scoffed.

"I meant you keeping a Pokémon on you," Ash chuckled. "But yeah, that also works."
