Me: I know. But there will be a sequel!

I DON’T OWN POKÈMON!

This is 6 months after the last.

Chapter27

May sat on the sofa with her large stomach in front of her. Ruby ran up to her mom.

“Hi sweetheart. D'you mind getting me a blanket? I’m a bit cold.” May smiled. Ruby nodded, she grabbed her red blanky and gave it to her mother. “Thank you, come up here.” Ruby jumped onto the sofa next to her mother. She laid her hand against her stomach.

“Hehe, I can feel it kicking!” Ruby giggled. May smiled. Placing her own hand on top of her stomach.

“I feel it all day; it can get a bit annoying after a while. But I still love it. I remember when you used to kick when you were in there; it always made me feel happy.” May smiled. She ruffles Ruby’s hair under the cap slightly.

“I can’t wait ‘til it’s out, I wanna little sissy!”

“Well, it might be a boy yet Ruby.” Ash said, walking into the room.

“Hi Ashy.” May smiled. Ash sat on the free side of his wife, slipping an arm around her.

“Hi Mayday. Ruby, don’t you need to get ready to go out with Auntie Dawn and Pearl?” Ash said. Ruby nodded, running upstairs.

“She and Pearl Oak have become quite good friends. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started their journeys together since they’re born in the same month, same year.” May said. Ash smiled, putting a hand on her stomach.

“I agree. You know, I feel like this pregnancy is different. I get to take more part, through the whole thing. Not just watching over a video screen.” Ash smiled. May snuggled into his chest.

“I know, it feels better since there’s none of the drama happening like last time.” May agreed.

“Well, I gotta take Ru’ to Gary and Dawn’s house. See ya in a minute or so.” Ash patted her stomach and went to get Ruby. May laid back and fell asleep.

10minutes later…

Ash arrived at the Oak’s house with Ruby by his side. He rang the bell. Gar answered the door.

“Hey Ashy-boy.” Gary said. Ash sighed.

“Hi Gary.” He sighed.

“Ruby!” A small girl cheered. A girl with Navy hair and blue eyes wearing all pink ran in.

“Pearl!” Ruby cheered. The two friends hugged and ran upstairs to play.

“I hope she behaves herself whilst she’s here. If there’s any problems call me.” Ash said.

“Ok pal, but I’m sure she’ll be an angel.” Gary smiled before going inside. Ash walked away.

May woke up when she felt a very hard kick from the baby.

“Ow, what’s with it today? That was the hardest kick I’ve felt from it all day.” She got up, walking around a bit, when it gave another hard kick, and another and another. “OW! Wait, you don’t think… no, it’s way too earl-…” She was cut of by a large hard kick, causing her a lot of pain. “Oh god… it’s coming… it’s c-coming… I gotta call Ash…” She walked over to the phone and shakily dialled his mobile number whilst holding her stomach with one hand.

Ash quickly grabbed his phone and flipped it up when he heard the ring tone play. He looked at the ID and saw May’s name. He opened it and spoke.

“Hello? What is it May?” Ash asked. He heard panting through the phone, and a slight groan. “May? What’s wrong?”

“A-Ash, i-it’s t-time… I don’t know w-why, b-but the b-baby’s coming…” May said.

“W-what?! A-are you sure?”

“Yes… it’s j-just l-like l-last time…” May stuttered.

“A-alright… I’ll be there in a minute, call 999.” Ash said. May nodded.

“O-Ok… come quick…”

“I will. Don’t worry.” The line cut off, May sat down and called 999. She explained everything and they said there’d be there in 10minutes. She put the phone away and sat cringing, holding her stomach. A few tears leaked from her eyes.

About 5 minutes later Ash burst through the door and ran to her side.

“May, are you ok?” He asked hurriedly. May nodded, cringing more. Ash put his arms around her, kissing her stomach lightly. “I don’t get it, why is it coming so early?”

“I-I d-don’t know… b-but I guess, it just w-wants out.” May smiled, before flinching. Ash kissed her lips softly. About 5more minutes later the ambulance arrived and they took May to the hospital. When they arrived her waters broke and they got her to a room. Ash went to call people, especially Dawn and Gary since Ruby was there, before heading to her. May lay back slightly as a contraction ended.

“Do they know why it’s early?” Ash asked as he took May’s hand.

“No, apparently it just wants to be outta there.” May giggled weakly. Ash smiled and squeezed her hand. Suddenly she went into another contraction, squeezing his hand tightly. Ash flinched, feeling the bones that broke before breaking again.

“Is it me, or has your grip got tighter?” He said through gritted teeth.

Gary and Dawn arrived with the 2 four year olds at the hospital after about 5 minutes. They sat in the waiting room. Ruby tugged on Dawn’s dress.

“Yes Ruby?” Dawn asked.

“What’s wrong with mommy?” Ruby said.

“Nothing dear, she’s just giving birth to you baby brother or sister.”

“Oh, ok.” Ruby said before running off to play with Pearl.

“I don’t get why May’s giving birth now, she’s pretty early.” Gary said.

“It happens Gary. I guess the baby just couldn’t wait any longer to see its parents.”

“Dawn, it doesn’t even know it has parents.” Gary sweatdropped. Dawn sighed.

6hrs later…

“One more push Mrs. Ketchum!” The doctor said. May screamed slightly as she pushed once more, a few seconds later crying was heard. “And here we go, a beautiful baby girl.” He handed the baby to May and left. May smiled at the bundle, Ash looked over and grinned.

“She’s beautiful.” Ash said. May nodded. “Look, her hair’s curly again.” May giggled.

“Look, she had my hair, and your scars again.” She smiled. Ash nodded. “And she’s so tiny.”

“Well, she is 3 months early. She would be a bit small.” Ash said. The baby opened her eyes, revealing them to be a deep sapphire. They both smiled warmly.

“She needs a name Ash.” May said.

“How about Sapphire? I think we should keep on the theme of jewels, especially since it this month’s birthstone too.” Ash said. May nodded.

“I like it.”

ME: Ok, a bit weird since it was an early birth, but I just had the idea in my head. R&R!
