Coffee and Tea.
Sometimes all you need is just a cozy day off. No worries, just tea and your amazing husband.
Misty was staring out the window, being cuddled in blankets on the couch, a rainy day, she loved rainy days. The clouds would get darker, you’d feel all cozy and bundled up in your own little world. Everything just perfect.
She put a hand on her stomach, she wasn’t exactly spending this day alone, far from alone. Her little secret stayed close to her heart, she took a deep breath. Today would be the day that she would try to tell her husband the news. Which she had already gotten so excited for.
She couldn’t even imagine how happy he must be when he finds out. She had kept it for a while now, three weeks. She was so unsure of how she was gonna approach him on the subject, That she just laid it off. It was a normal thing for her. Something she didn’t want to do, she laid off. Just didn’t do it. Just like her confessing to him. She had liked him for years but put it off. This time that wasn’t an option.
She had to tell him. And she had no doubt he’d be ecstatic. She smiled at the memories of them as kids. And how this would seal their bond. Seal their marriage forever. She liked that idea, quite a lot. That the two of them would be together within her secret. Even if they wouldn’t like it, there was no changing it.
She cuddled deeper down in the blanket, getting extra cozy as she kept her eyes looking out the window. It was October, fall, autumn, whatever. Soon enough the little yellow rodent jumped onto her lap, she smiled softly as she started to scratch the mouse’s head. And her husband came soon after, grinning at her
“Hey, scoot over, cutie” she chuckled at that. She loved it when he called her that, so she scooted over to make space for him. He handed her a cup of warm peppermint tea “thanks, love” she said, he just kept grinning, wrapping his arms round her torso.
She tried to make him loosen up a bit, which he understood and did. Pikachu laid happily on Misty’s lap. He kissed her temple and she smiled warmly at that. Putting the blanket over him as well. She loved this feeling. Her beloved. And Pikachu which she also loved to death. And this human creature inside her stomach which she has yet to tell him.
She sipped her tea. Leaning against his chest. Eyes kept looking out the window. Trying somehow to find a way to tell him. Which seemed impossible. “Hey, Mist’? Lemme just grab some coffee ‘Kay?”
“Mm hm, okay. Be quick, I’ll miss you” she teased him, he just responded with rolling his eyes and kissing her cheek once more
“You know as well as I do I couldn’t spend more then a few minutes away from you” and with that he left.
She sighed as she scratched Pikachu’s ear “oh how will I tell him Pikachu…” the rodent had long ago discovered that there was something inside of her. He had very good senses after all. Pikachu would practically never leave her side with the child Inside her. Letting nothing happening to her.
“Pika pi pi pikachupi! Pikapi chu pika pi!” ‘Just be yourself Misty! Ash will be amazed and you know it!’ She sighed softly as she smiled a bit, watching her husband once more come back now holding a mug of coffee for himself. He sat down wrapping his arms around her again.
“Sometimes I can’t get enough of you!” He nuzzled into her. Getting comfy. She started to massage his hair scalp.
“Uhm…Ash” he, not being as dense anymore, sensed something was wrong and looked up, having a serious look on his face. He put his mug down on the coffee table “yeah?”
He also sat more up, looking at her “there’s…something I’ve got to tell you…” she sounded…disappointed? In herself- she hasn’t cheated- has she? “Wait wait wait wait- have you Been with another guy? Is that why you’ve been so busy lately?” He looked hurt- oh it was so unbearable for her.
She chuckled a bit at his. “No ash. No, nothing like that. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing I just…”
“You just…?” He repeated, an initiative for her to go on
“I- it’s probably better if I just show you.” She grabbed a box from under the coffee table. And she gave it to him. “Should I be scared?” He asked. Trying to make a joke
She chuckled lightly “no- no you shouldn’t” she smiled as he began to lift the lid off the box. Inside was a pregnancy test. Showing the words “positive” but of corse he was too slow to understand
“You have covid?” He asked confused- regretting all those kisses he’d given her. Or- they were amazing so- actually he took that back. “What no?! I’m pregnant idiot.”
His eyes wide- in shock. It was like his brain was registering what she had just said. It took him a few moments before an wide grin spread across his lips. She had never seen his grin that big before
“We’re gonna be parents????” He asked excitedly “yeah!”
“I’m gonna be a dad?!!!! This is the happiest day of my life mist’!!!” He stood up and lifted her up in his arms, spinning around with her- she laughed. What was she so scared of? Of corse he’d be happy…
“I can’t believe it!! I’m gonna be a dad!!! ME!!! Ash Ketchum! A dad???? I’m so excited!! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Misty!!! I love you so So sooooooo much!!! Thank you for growing this child- OUR child!!!” He began rambling. She smiled ever so sweetly at him. Gosh he was perfect. She couldn’t help but laugh as he laughed. He was overjoyed
Eventually he sat her down “can I touch your stomach?” He asked excitedly
“Of corse, but I doubt you’ll feel anything. I’m only three weeks” he put a hand on her stomach anyway. “Hey there little one, I’m your daddy. And I’m gonna protect you with all my might. I won’t let anyone hurt you”
It was a sweet interaction, really!! And from that moment on she knew it for sure. He was gonna be an amazing dad. And she felt stupid for ever doubting him. Once they were settled down again he had his hand on her stomach and the other around her. Pikachu had sat a bit away but now laid back down on her lap.
“Ohhhh! So that’s why Pikachu has been with you a lot lately! Protecting the baby!” He grinned “thanks buddy!” He scratched Pikachu’s head as it let out a ‘chaaaa’ he laid his head on top of Misty’s. Oh, he loved her dearly. His wife, carrying his child. What could be better then this…
“I wonder if the kid will have ginger or raven black hair like me” he asked, pecking the top of her head “better be ginger with your chocolate brown eyes. Or perhaps raven with my Viridian eyes. I wouldn’t mind either one” she smiled softly once more, she couldn’t stop smiling today. She reached for her cup of tea and started drinking it up.
“Oh!!! I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy I can play football with him!! And if it’s a girl I could play dress up! Oh!! But I know one thing is that I’ll definitely teach them how it is being a pokemon master!! And how to get a beautiful partner such as yourself” she rolled her eyes at that statement. It was sweet. But she didn’t care what gender her child was, as long as it was healthy, and that she could imagine ash did as well
They kept cuddling, all three of them, or if you count the baby then four. On this cozy evening. Pikachu laying on her lap. And ash holding her safe. They kept talking about how the baby was gonna be like. And they were definitely looking forward to it.
9 months later and their beautiful baby girl was here. She had her mothers eyes and you could see the slight hair with resemblance of her father. Misty was holding her for a moment. Before she saw the anticipating look on her husbands face. After a few minutes she decided he could have a turn with her, so she handed him their beautiful baby Rose.
Ash was crying tears of joy as he held her for the first time. His beautiful baby girl. This beautiful child was HIS! This was only one of those moments he would always dream about. Oh he would protect her. Nothing was gonna hurt his angel. Nothing at all
