| Part 2 "I think she liked me" Brock said, obviously not getting the point of the slap. "Yeah you believe whatever you want mate" replied Butch, as he grabbed all the drinks he just purchased. Both of them then walked back over to where James and Mondo were sitting. As they sat down butch noticed how depressed James looked. "What's wrong with you?" he asked him. James just looked up at him and sighed. "I'm just wondering if I'm making a gigantic mistake," he told Butch, Butch just laughed. "Ha course you are! I mean just look at me and Cassidy, boy do we not get along" James looked a little puzzled at Butch, "You guys are married?" "Yep" said butch. "Have been for a whole year now, and I regret everything" "But how come when me and Jess started a relationship Giovanni fired us, you two still work there don't you?" "Yep, lets just say it helps to be the bosses favourites!" He laughed loudly the looked back at James. "All marriages are a mistake so you're not alone" "Your not helping Butch" snapped Mondo. "James is getting cold feet here" With that Butch just pushed a can of beer in front of James. "Ah, just drink that and anything your thinking about will just disappear" James just gave Butch and unenthusiastic "Thanks", all he could think of was Jesse and whether marrying her was such a good idea or not. Back in the Apartment Jesse and Misty were sat on the living room floor playing a game of monopoly that Jesse found in a cupboard somewhere. "One, two, three, four, five, six.." counted Jesse as she moved her piece around the board. "Hummmm community chess" She picked up a thin piece of pink card from the middle of the bored and read it out loud. "You've won a beauty contest collect ten pounds, ha!" Jesse picked up a thin piece of paper with a big 10 marked on it and added it to her pile of fake money. She gave the dice to Misty who shook them then threw them. "Ohhhhh ten!" She moved her piece around the board then looked up at Jesse. "I've got a question" "Go on!" "How come we didn't go out like the boys?" Jesse drew in a deep breath and glanced at Misty. "Well I didn't want to go to bars in my condition," she told her. "Condition?" Jesse just gave Misty a warm smile. "I'm pregnant!" Suddenly an extremely loud squeal came from misty which startled Jesse and made Ash run into the room. "What's going on?" he asked quickly. "Jesse and James are gonna have a baby!" screamed Misty, getting a bit too over excited. "Oh, is that all" moaned Ash. Misty didn't seem all too pleased with this remark, so she scowled at Ash and he scowled back before turning to Jesse. "I think you should sort out Cassidy and Tracey," he told her. "Why?" "Lets just say they're happy, really happy" Jesse and Misty followed Ash into the kitchen where Cassidy and Tracey are both sat on chairs with their heads resting on the table. Having a rather strange conversation. "Tracey...?" "Yeah" "Have you ever wondered who invented the patterns on snowflakes?" "Nope" "Oh okay then" Cassidy then looked up at Jesse and squealed. "Jess, there you are," she slurred as she stood up and walked over to her. "Give us a hug" With that Cassidy through her arms around Jesse and hugged her tightly. "Your so lucky, y'know that, you've got a guy who serenades you with chocolates and red red roses, all I got is Butch, who thinks going out is taking me down to the local shop so he can get more cigarettes" Jesse just laughed nervously, "I think it's time we sobered you two up" "Whatever" said Cassidy, with a strange grin on her face. Jesse helped Cassidy to sit down back on the chair next to Tracey while Misty went over to start making coffee. After they had put the coffee in front of them Jesse, Ash and Misty all stood together in the corner of the kitchen. "I can't believe they drunk the wine I was saving for after the wedding, well the wine I was saving for James" moaned Jesse as she inspected the empty wine bottle on the side. "On the other hand, this has made the party a bit more interesting" laughed Ash, who regretted saying it after Misty hit him on his head with her fist. "Ow" While Jesse and the others weren't watching, Tracey brought out a small bottle of vodka from under his coat then signalled for Cassidy to be quiet. The two sniggered as Tracey pored the vodka into the coffee. Jesse looked up at them and saw him doing it, so she quickly took it out of his hand. "Hey" moaned Tracey and Cassidy together. "Sorry guys but we're trying to sober you up here" said Jesse. "If you two drink anymore you'll probably do something really stupid like..." She stopped there as she tried to think of something to say but Ash finished her sentence for her. "...declare war on ants" "Yeah declare war on..." Jesse stopped again and glared at Ash. "...Ants?" Ash just shrugged. "I don't like ants," moaned Cassidy. "Me neither" added on Tracey. "Oh this is pathetic, I'm going to bed" snapped Jesse, as she stormed out of the room. The others watched her leaves then they all looked at each other. "Was it something we said" slurred Cassidy. Meanwhile the guys had left the Raticate drinking hole and now were stumbling down the street, all four of them couldn't walk straight. They giggled continuously finding this situation completely hilarious especially if one of them fell down. Just then two women passed them as they did Brock shouted out, "Hi ladeez" But all they did was snort at him and carried on. "Okay girls, but ya don't know what you're missing" Just then James started to wonder off from the small group, he didn't really know where he was going. "Hey James mate, where ya goin" shouted out mondo just a little bit more louder than he expected to. "Just over here" James shouted back. While James was wondering off Mondo saw it as a perfect chance to pull a prank on him. He signalled for Butch and Brock to join him. As soon as they did Mondo began whispering into their ears. Huge evil smiles grew across the faces of the three men as they looked back up at James. "This is gonna be good" sniggered Butch. The next morning in the apartment, Misty, who had spent the night in the spare bedroom, was up bright and early. She decided to make breakfast for herself and the others, but everyone else was asleep. Jesse woke up slowly in her bedroom and sleepily reached over for James but found him not there. "He must have spent the night over at Mondos" Jesse thought to herself. Suddenly Jesse felt a wave of nausea go through her. "Oh God" she said as she quickly got out of bed and made a dash for the bathroom, Misty wished her a good morning but Jesse didn't have time to respond as she ran into the bathroom beating Cassidy who had also made a dash for it. She began to bang hard on the door. "Hey!" snapped Cassidy as she banged harder. "Your not the only one who wants to throw up in there you know" With that Cassidy stopped drumming on the door and sat back down on the sofa. Just then somebody knocked on the door, Misty went to answer it, it was Shelly and Chelsea. "The bridesmaids are here," announced shelly. "Oh zip-a-de-do-dah" Cassidy snapped, sarcastically. "What's up with her?" asked Chelsea, as they walked into the apartment. "Don't ask" replied Misty as she closed the door behind them. "So where's the bride?" asked Shelly. "Oh the bathroom" Misty told them. "Morning sickness" "Oh" Shelly and Chelsea said together, as they went to sit down in the living room. Meanwhile, at Mondo's apartment, Brock, who was laid on the sofa, began to stir from his alcohol-induced dream world of girls in bikinis, he coughed and suddenly sat up. He then moaned as he held his head, which was throbbing. "Arhhhhhhh! Hangover" he mumbled to himself, as he glanced around the living room, it was a total mess. He then saw mondo and Butch, Mondo was asleep on the floor and Butch had just passed out in an armchair. "You guys awake?" he asked, Mondo and Butch replied by giving him assorted moans. "What about you James?" Brock got no reply. Brock woke up a little more and carefully looked around the room. He then turned to Butch and mondo. "Where's James?" Butch and Mondo both sat up and looked at Brock puzzled. "Isn't he here?" asked mondo, Brock shook his head. Suddenly the three of them began to run about panicked. "ARRGGGHHH! WE'VE LOST THE GROOM!" shouted mondo. "JESSE'S GONNA KILL US!" "Now just calm down" said Butch, his voice rougher than usual. "Just try and think back to the last thing we all remember" "Drinking in the bar" replied Mondo. "hummm...." Thought Butch. "Leaving the apartment" "Three days ago" added on Brock. The three of them just exchanged glances, then all of them started to run about in a panic again. The sound of Fearows calling out above him made James wake up slowly. As he did he squinted as the sun's rays caught his eyes. He carefully sat up holding his head delicately. "Where am I?" he asked himself, just then he heard what sounded like waves crashing against something, he looked over the edge of whatever he was sat on and saw nothing but water. He stood up slowly to see nothing but water for miles. He then noticed what he was stood on, a boat. "Oh this can't be good," he moaned to himself as he sat glanced around the white boat. It was only small, but obviously big enough so no one would notice him. He began to stumble towards the cabin of the boat, when he got there he looked through the window to see a guy who was driving the boat. James knocked on the window to get the attention of the driver. The driver of the boat looked at James puzzled then let him into the cabin. "Woah, I didn't know I had a passenger on this trip" he said, finding the situation a bit funny. "Look, somehow I got on this boat but I need to get back to the shore" James told the driver. "I'm getting married in like 2 hours and I kinda need to be there" "Sorry, but this boat is going only one way...this way" James just moaned. "Look I'll give you whatever amount of money you want just please turn the boat around" James reached into his back pocket but a large sweatdrop formed when he didn't find his wallet. "Damn it" he cursed. "The guys must of took my wallet" The driver just laughed. "Ahhh, this must be a prank your friends played on you," he said. "My friends did the same to me on my stag night" "And how did you get back in time for the wedding?" "Didn't! by the time I got there she had ran off with the vicar" James just moaned again this time hitting his head against the window. Just then the driver pointed out ahead. "You could hitch a ride on this boat," he suggested. "It looks like it's heading your way!" James looked out of the window and saw another boat heading towards them. "Great" he said. The driver leaned out of the window and signalled to the other boat to stop. The two boats pulled up side by side and the driver began talking to the people on the other boat. "Yeah sorry to disturb you" he began. "But I got a guy on here who needs to head back the way your going" "Why sure I see no harm in that" replied a posh man's voice, which James recognised. "No it can't be" gasped James in disbelief as he stared at the other boat. Two figures emerged from it and he instantly recognised them, his parents. "Why if it isn't James our delinquent son" said his mother as she peered into the cabin of the boat James was on. "Oh this isn't happening" James moaned to himself. He sighed as he looked at his parents; he knew that they were his only chance of getting back in time for his wedding. Cautiously James climbed out of the cabin onto his parents boat. The two boats pulled away from each other slowly, James just sat down and scowled at his parents warning them that they shouldn't come anywhere near him. "Why James dear why are you all the way out here" His mothered asked her son. "None of your business" replied James, who hadn't forgotten the last time he saw his parents. "Well at least Jessebelle isn't here," He thought to himself, but he suddenly heard the most terrifying voice ever, belonging to the most psychotic woman ever...Jessebelle. "Well if it isn't my beloved James," she cried out happily, as she ran up to him. James just quickly backed off. "Well isn't this grand dear" his father said to his mother. "We can have a magnificent wedding for James and Jessebelle at our splendid beach house" These words cut through James and something in him snapped. James stood up and glared at his parents and Jessebelle. "LOOK!" he shouted. "I AM NEVER MARRYING JESSEBELLE, GOT IT? THERE'S ONLY ONE GIRL I'M GONNA MARRY TODAY AND SHE'S WAITING FOR ME ON SHORE...SO YOU'D ALL BETTER JUST SHUT UP AND GET ME THERE!" Jessebelle and his parents just stood in front of him shocked about his sudden fierce rebellion towards them, especially Jessebelle who thought that James would be running scared of her by now. James just smiled to himself, it felt good to stick up to his parents. His mother turned to the driver of the boat and nodded to tell him to keep driving. James drew in a deep breath and sat down, still keeping his eyes on his parents and Jessebelle, just in case they tried anything. Back on shore, people had started arriving at the hotel where Jesse and James had organized to have their wedding. Misty was waiting outside with her Togetic, who was wearing a very cute white flower on its head for the wedding. When she saw Brock, Butch and Mondo approaching her eyes lit up. "Hi guys" she called out as she and her Togetic walked over to them. "Where's James, still getting ready?" The three guys just laughed nervously as they all tried to think of an excuse they could use. "Well...." "Well the truth is..." began Mondo as he nervously rubbed the back of his head. "...we kinda...lost...James" "YOU WHAT!" screamed Misty as her head grew twice the size of her body. Mondo just hid behind Brock, "Don't hurt me" Just then Ash ran up to them, with Pikachu firmly perched on his shoulders. He noticed how mad misty was and how nervous, Brock, Mondo and Butch were. "What's going on?" he asked them. "Guess WHO lost the GROOM!" shouted Misty as she glared at Butch, Mondo and Brock. "You guys lost James" Ash said as he turned to the three guys. He then suddenly burst out laughing. Misty just got angry again. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!!" Ash joined mondo behind Brock and cowered. "Now I suggest that you three go looking for him," demanded misty. "Right away" Brock, Mondo and Butch said together as they ran off. Ash just watched them leave, he then started giggling again. "I can't believe they lost James" Misty just whacked him over the head, then walked off with Togetic following. Inside one of the hotels rooms, Jesse emerged into the small living room from one of the bedrooms and looked at herself wearing the wedding dress in the mirror, she then turned to Meowth who was sat on the sofa. "So what do you think?" Meowth looked up from a magazine he was reading and his mouth instantly dropped open, completely stunned at how beautiful Jesse looked. "If I wasn't a Pok�mon I'd marry you" the cat said, Jesse just smiled at the Pok�mon to say thanks, she then turned back towards the mirror and rubbed her flat stomach. "I'm just so glad I'm not far enough in this pregnancy to show" Meowth just rolled his eyes. "Typical Jesse" he thought to himself. Just then Misty came bursting through the door closely followed by Togetic, Jesse just smiled at her and gave her a little twirl. "So how do I look?" she asked her, for a small moment Misty forgot all her rage and gave Jesse a huge smile. "Oh you look so beautiful," she said, then she remembered why she had gone into the room in the first place. "Erm...Jess...I've got some...bad news" "Oh what's that?" replied Jesse, not really paying attention to Misty as she admired herself in the mirror again. "Erm...well...the guys kinda lost James last night and...no one can find him" The happy expression on Jesse changed to a worried one as she slowly turned to look at Misty. "What?" Jesse slowly walked over to the sofa and sat beside Meowth, she sat there just staring at the floor. Misty too sat down on the sofa on the other side of Meowth. "Brock, Mondo and Butch are out looking for him now" Misty told Jesse, hoping to make her fell better. Misty looked up at Jesse and just smiled. "Don't worry they'll find him" "Yeah..." agreed Meowth. "James wouldn't leave you after all da trouble he went to propose to you and everything" Jesse looked at Misty and Meowth and nodded, "Yeah" Misty's Togetic walked over to Jesse and began to rub its head against her shoulder, Jesse looked at it then began to stroke its head, and the creature began to coo as she did. "Yeah, everything will be fine" she told herself quietly, forcing herself to believe what she had just said. Mondo, Brock and Butch looked all over Viridian city for about half an hour for James then they decided to run down to the Viridian city docks to look for James, they didn't know why they just had a feeling that they were there the night before. As they walked along the sidewalk they looked at all the boats they were passing, a lot of them were very nice and looked pretty expensive. "I say if we don't find James we steal one of these and skip the country," Butch said to Brock and Mondo. "Then that Misty girl can't hurt us" "Is that your solution to everything?" Brock asked, Butch just shrugged. "Guess so" Just then Mondo pointed out to a boat just coming into view on the horizon, he got out some binoculars (which he magically had on him) and looked at the boat through them. He carefully scanned it then got excited as he saw James standing on the front of it. "It's James, we've found him," he shouted out. All three of them ran to where there the boat was heading and began to wave their arms franticly to try and get his attention. On the boat James saw his three friends on the shore, he looked at the driver and ordered him to pull up to where his friends stood. The driver nodded to show he acknowledged what he had said and began to head towards Mondo, Brock and Butch. As soon as they pulled up at the dock James jumped off the boat and scowled at his three friends who just cowered in front of him. "Remind me to pull something like this on you guys when you get married" he told them. Mondo, Butch and Brock just smiled nervously at him, James just sighed, he knew he couldn't be too angry with them; he just sighed and smiled at them. "Come on we need to get to the wedding" They were about to run off when the voice of his parents stopped him. "Why James dear, don't we get invited?" asked his mother, sounding disappointed. "Yes, we want to see whom your disgracing our family name for," added on his father. James just stared at them evilly. "Fine you all can come," he told them. "Only if you agree to just stand there and behave" His parents and Jessebelle reluctantly agreed. The group then all ran off, heading back to the hotel. Back at the hotel, the wedding was soon to start, but James and the other guys weren't back yet. Misty stood at the doorway to the room they were holding the wedding with Togetic, Shelly and Chelsea. The room was surprisingly full of people, people who will soon get restless if the guys didn't turn up soon. Jesse wondered around the corner and joined them; she too peered into the room, and then let out a huge sigh. "They're not back yet?" she asked. Misty just shook her head, "Nope" Jesse's heart sank in her chest, she knew James would never be capable of leaving her like this, but the longer he was missing the harder it was for her to believe that. Shelly put a comforting hand on Jesse's shoulder. "He'll turn up," she told him. "And if he doesn't we can do what I usually do to men who scorn me...burn his stuff" Jesse just frowned at her friend, she knew Shelly was only trying to make her feel better, but it wasn't working. Suddenly Jesse heard a voice, she recognized it. She looked behind her to see James running around the corner with Butch, Brock and Mondo. Whatever rage Jesse was feeling towards James just disappeared, she was just glad he had turned up. Then she saw who else was with him...his parents and Jessebelle. Rage began to build up in her again, especially when she made eye contact with Jessebelle. "This is what James is marrying," she said scornfully, as she approached Jesse. Jesse just glared at her, then her attention turned to James. "What is SHE doing here?" she asked him. James tried to explain how he had to ride back with them on their boat to get to the wedding but he could tell Jesse wasn't listening to him; she was too busy exchanging evil looks with Jessebelle. "Look just ignore her," James told Jesse. "She's not important, what's important is that we go in that room and get married okay" James looked down at what he was wearing, a grey thin jumper and blue jeans from last night. "Okay I'm not exactly dressed for it, but all I care about is marrying you" Jesse stayed silent for a while, just looking at James. She then suddenly took off the flower headband she was wearing and threw it to the floor. "Maybe I don't want to get married anymore," she snapped with tears in her eyes, before storming off down the corridor. James cringed as he watched Jesse leave; he picked up the flower headband from the floor and began to fiddle with it. He then looked up at everyone else. "I'd better go after her," he said to them. "But what about the wedding?" asked Brock. "It's supposed to start now" "Just stall them, tell a story, tell some jokes just DO something" James replied as he ran down the corridor franticly after Jesse. The others watched him leave, and then meowth bounded off after James. The others just exchanged glances. "Anyone know any knock knock jokes?" asked Mondo. James carried on down through the corridors of the hotel, unaware that meowth was following him. He hadn't a clue where Jesse was but he vowed not to give up until he had found her, she was way too important to him to lose. Eventually he heard a sobbing sound coming from one of the rooms, he figured that it was Jesse. He knocked on the door quietly followed by Jesse shouting; "Go away" on the other side. James just took in a deep breath, opened the door and walked in. "Jess, please, just..." James was interrupted by Jesse who threw a pillow at him from the sofa, it hit him in the face, he was just glad it was something soft. Carefully he closed the door, leaving it slightly ajar, then walked cautiously over to Jesse. "Jess..?" Jesse didn't acknowledge him, she just stayed sat on the sofa looking away from him. "Jess please...I don't know what I've done to upset you so much but..." he broke off as he thought of more to say. "Look I'm sorry I was late, I know I must of put you through a lot, and I'm sorry I brought Jessebelle here she wanted to come and..and..." James ran out of apologies, he sighed and began again. "Please Jess, just look at me...please" Jesse stopped sobbing so much and gradually moved around to look at him. All the mascara that Jesse had been wearing had run down her face with her tears. James gave her a weak smile as he moved over to the sofa and sat down beside her. He pulled a few tissues out of a box on the table beside him and used them to wipe Jesse's face. As he did, Meowth watched them through the gap in the door; he just smiled as he watched them. After James had finished wiping Jesse's face he just looked at her and gave her a pouty puppy dog look which often just made Jesse melt. "Forgive me?" Jesse just nodded as she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight hug. James just held her back. They sat there for a few minutes silent in each others arms, then James kissed her head that made her look up at him. "So are we gonna go through with this wedding?" he asked her gently. "Yeah" replied Jesse giving James a small grin. James just kissed her on the lips and stood up off the sofa. "I'll get ready then," he said. He walked towards the bathroom, then stopped suddenly and smiled. "And meowth, I know you there behind the door. Tell everyone were coming in a minute" The cat Pokemon just looked at James shocked, he was sure he hadn't been detected by either of them, but obviously he had. With that he bounded off back the way he had come. Meanwhile, Brock had decided to keep the guests entertained by telling them jokes. "So how do you get 100 Pikachu's onto a bus?" No body even mumbled. "You Poke 'em on...get it...poke 'em on...pokemon" Everyone just stayed silent. "Erm okay okay, which pokemon is always in a bad mood before it evolves.....Krabby" Again no one makes a sound except the odd cough here and there. Brock just sighs as he walks back through the guests and joins the others at the back of the room. "Real smooth Brock" shelly told him, sarcastically. Brock just hung his head low in embarrassment. Just then Misty walked up to them pulling Tracey with her, everyone looked at her all confused as she joined them. "Guess who I found in the wine for after the wedding" she sneered as she struggled to keep Tracey from falling down. Everyone just sweatdropped. "Tracey's drunk?" said Brock. "Oh what else could go wrong?" "I'm not drunk," slurred Tracey, before collapsing in a heap on the floor. Misty just rolled her eyes in disgust at him. Meowth then came running around the corner and stopped as soon as he reached the others. "Jesse and James will be here soon" he announced. "Okay people places places," shouted Brock, as everyone sorted themselves out. Butch, Brock and Misty went to sit down with the rest of the guests dragging Tracey with them while Mondo, Chelsea and Shelly waited at the doorway. "Come on James hurry up" Jesse shouted to her partner as she impatiently waited in the hotel room. James eventually opened the bathroom door, he walked out still adjusting the suit he was had put on. Jesse walked up to him and helped him straighten his tie. "Ready?" he asked Jesse, she just nodded. They were about to leave when James noticed something on Jesse was missing, he picked up the flower headband from the table beside the sofa and gently put it on Jesse's head. "Thankyou" Jesse said to James. The two kissed quickly before they ran out of hotel room. Soon enough the two reached the room the wedding was in. James briefly said "Hi" to Shelly and Chelsea before signaling to Mondo telling him to follow. Both men ran down the aisle and stood in front of all the guests patiently waiting for Jesse to walk down to join them. "You do have the rings right?" James whispered to Mondo. "Like I'd forget a thing like that," Mondo replied with a cheeky smile on his face. The music started and Jesse began to walk down the aisle with Shelly and Chelsea following her. James gave Jesse a large smile as he watched her walk slowly towards him; he was astounded at how beautiful she looked. Jesse reached James and stood next to him as Shelly and Chelsea sat down on the seats at the front. Jesse and James held hands and looked at each other full of love and compassion for each other. "I guess we're ready to start," said the priest, as he opened a book that he held. The Priest began the ceremony; Jesse and James were able to make their vows to each other without any problem at all from anything or anyone. "If anyone doesn't agree with these two being joined together in holy matrimony..." began the priest. "...then speak now or forever hold you peace" "I do!" Everyone gasped and turned round to see Tracey standing up at the back of the room, barely able to stay standing. "And why is this?" the priest asked. "Cos I love James" slurred Tracey. "I love ya man, marry me!" James just put his hand to his head in disbelief; surly a straightforward wedding wasn't much to ask for. Brock then stood up and forced Tracey to sit down. "Come on Tracey" he said, as they both sat back down. "I love you too, Brock" Tracey said, Brock just developed a sweatdrop. "Yeah, sure you do" Tracey then turned to Ash. "I love you as well" Ash just clenched his teeth and just froze with fear. "Brock..." he whispered. "...he's got his hand on my leg" "Live with it" Brock harshly snapped back. "Okay anyone who has a problem besides the drunken idiot at the back?" asked the priest, no one replied. "Good" He looked at Jesse and James. "I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" Jesse and James smiled at each other happily, and then kissed each other as everyone cheered. Afterwards, there was a small party downstairs in the hotel; a DJ was playing records as some people, including Jesse and James, danced on the dance floor. Tracey was out cold resting his head on the table as Ash doodled on his face with a marker pen. Both Ash and Pikachu giggled evilly as he did. Misty, who was sat nearby, just sighed at them for being so "immature" James couldn't keep his eyes off his beautiful new wife all night as they danced to some slow music. Jesse smiled back at him as she pulled James closer to her so she could rest her head on his chest. "I'm so glad we got through today," James told her, as they continued to dance. Jesse just hummed in agreement. "I'm so sorry for what happened" Jesse just looked up at her husband. "You don't need to apologize James," she said. "It was all Mondo, Brock and Butch's fault, we'll get them back" "I like the way you think" laughed James, he kissed Jesse on her lips, then whispered gently to her, "Jessica Morgan, my beautiful wife" Jesse just smiled as the two continued to kiss each other as they danced through the night. 6 MONTHS LATER James hurried down the corridor of the hospital, smiling to himself as he carried some balloons in one hand and a giant stuffed teddy in the other. Beside him was Meowth; he too was happy, but not as happy as James was. Eventually the two reached a hospital room. James carefully peered in through the window on the door before he opened the door and walked in. Jesse was sat there in the hospital bed holding something in a small pink blanket. As James sat down beside her on the bed, meowth stood at the door. James signaled that it was alright for the cat to come in, so Meowth slowly walked up to them and jumped up onto the bed. James tied the balloons he was holding onto the back of a chair and placed the teddy on the floor, he then turned to his tired wife. "How is she?" James asked Jesse quietly, as Jesse looked at her husband, she gave him a weak smile and replied, "Just fine" She moved the blanket slightly to reveal a small human face, Meowth took a closer look and smiled as the tiny baby woke up and opened her bright blue eyes. She seemed to look around the room with her eyes, as if she was wondering where she was, but as soon as she saw her parents she gurgled and laughed happily. James gently put his arm around Jesse. "I think she recognizes us" Jesse just nodded in agreement. The baby girl then saw Meowth, she gurgled happily again as she reached out and grabbed his whiskers with her tiny hands. She began to pull them as hard as she could as Meowth screamed. "Arrggghh, guys tell 'er to let go" Jesse waved her hand in front of the child's face, the baby looked up at her mother and let go of Meowth's whiskers. Meowth just sulked as he rubbed his cheek. "Dat squirt is strong" Jesse just rested her head on James' shoulder as they both admired their new little girl. James kissed Jesse on her head and whispered, "She looks so much like you Jess" Jesse just shook her head. "No" she said. "She looks more like my mother, Miyamoto" James had to agree with his wife. Even though he had only seen Jesse's late mother in the very few photos she had of her, their child did look a lot like her, the bright blue eyes, the beautiful strands of lilac hair, almost like a mirror image. "James..." began Jesse. "I have the perfect name for her" "What?" Jesse looked at James and smiled. "I want to call her Miya, after my mother" James smiled back at her and nodded. "That's a wonderful name" He then looked again at their tiny baby girl. "Miya Morgan" he whispered. "Perfect" THE END |
