Ash: 23

Dawn: 22

Dawn woke up early in the morning not feeling well, she looked over to see Ash sleeping soundly next to her, now a recently married couple Dawn looked at her husband with great pride, 'such a young family, I don't know how this will work out,' Dawn thought while looking at her pearl wedding ring, "such a sound sleeper as well," Dawn said as the urge to throw up overcame her, she quickly ran out of the room waking Ash up in the process.

Ash looked to his wife's side of the bed to find that she wasn't there, "Dawn, where are you?" Ash called out calmly, but there was no response from his wife, Ash quickly got worried and got up from his slumber, he got read for work as the pokemon lab assistant, "great another day at the pokemon lab, I just wish I had taken up the position at the Battle Frontier, but if I did that I would have never met up with Dawn," Ash said with a sad sigh.

Ash walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen of their one room apartment, "Ash, I need to go out today," Dawn declared with a smile.

Ash nodded and got himself some food for lunch, "are you sure that you're okay?" Ash asked his wife who was looking slightly pale with her eyes lacking that sparkle that he loved the most about her, "you don't seem your normal bubbly self," Ash explained quietly as he placed his hand on Dawn's head.

Dawn took Ash's hand and looked into his eyes, "I am fine Ash, just a little off color that's all," Dawn retorted to try and prevent Ash from worrying about her, "no need to worry, I will see the doctor and he will tell me that everything is alright," Dawn stated as she took her keys and left to see the doctor.

"Alright sweetheart, just call me if anything happens okay," Ash told his young wife with an assured smile, he picked up his keys and followed Dawn outside, "I will see you when I get home," Ash promised quickly before kissing Dawn on the cheek. Ash looked at Dawn again and smiled, "are you sure that you're alright, do you want me to help you go to the doctor's?" Ash asked now with concern.

Dawn looked at her husband sweetly and shook her head, "no Ash, I think I can look after myself," Dawn told Ash trying to prevent him from getting more concerned about her health, 'I can't tell Ash anything yet,' Dawn thought as she walked out of the parking lot.

"She is so stubborn," Ash told himself as he looked at his Pikachu preparing to guard the place, 'I wish I could travel again,' Ash thought quietly as he started to feel empty without the journeys he once went and now yearned more than ever.

Ash walked to the Pokemon Lab where he worked tirelessly for the last two years, he spotted his childhood rival, friend and now boss of his job at the Pokemon Lab "Yo Ash, how are things with your wife?" asked a many with spikey brown hair wearing a white lab coat with a black shirt and black jeans, "so you still live in that one roomed apartment, Ash with all the money you earn you should be owning a beautiful four bedroom home," Gary teased his old rival and employee.

"Well boss, not all of us spend his entire day enjoying the job that he does," Ash replied with sarcasm, "one day I am going to get the job of my dreams, I will work at the Battle Frontier in the Sinnoh Region," Ash declared before heading off to his section of the job.

"Ash just remember, following your dreams is a very important thing to do, it makes life worth living," Gary told Ash with a smile, "also Ash, after work today want to go out and have a few drinks, I haven't had a drop of alcohol in months, I need it," Gary said with a smile.

Ash looked over his shoulder and laughed at his boss, "maybe some other time, I promised that I will be home before Dawn gets back," Ash explained with a smile, "maybe tomorrow night old friend," Ash said as he walked into the sorting section of the lab, 'great now I have to deal with Gary wanting to get drunk,' Ash thought to himself with slight anger, "I remember the last time he got drunk, I promised myself and Dawn that I would never be like that," Ash thought out loud as he gathered the pokeballs he needed to help Gary to help him with his research.

Meanwhile Dawn was sitting in the waiting room feeling very nervous, she had been sitting there since she got there an hour ago, she looked over to see children feeling sick or playing with toys from the box while their mothers were watching them with smiles, 'I just wish,' Dawn wondered calmly while one of the doctors called in another patient, 'I just wish that Ash and I could be parents,' Dawn wished silently while waiting for the doctor to call her.

While waiting for the doctor to call her a lady with her own child walked up to Dawn with a smile, "you must be the famous coordinator," she said happily while pulling out a picture of Dawn in her younger days, "can I have your autograph please," the woman begged loudly.

Dawn chuckled for a moment and grabbed the picture, she was handed a sharpie and started to sign the picture on the lady's request, 'it's been such a long time since I have traveled,' Dawn thought as she finished the autograph, 'maybe I will travel again one day with Ash traveling with me,' Dawn kept telling herself while the hours started to pass, "there goes me beating Ash home I guess," Dawn told herself as the patients started to become fewer in the large waiting room.

Dawn continued to wait until what looked like the final patient left the doctor, "Dawn Ketchum, I can see you now," the Doctor called out to the bluenette.

Dawn got up and stretched her legs a little while placing the magazine down on the table, "finally, I have been waiting for what seemed like forever," Dawn told herself as she walked to the doctors room.

Dawn walked up to the Doctor's desk and sat down on the nearest chair, "so Mrs. Ketchum how have things been lately?" the doctor asked his patient calmly while opening up the folder slowly.

Dawn sighed nervously a little and started to explain the occurrences of the last few days, "I have been very sick over the last few mornings and I lack the energy that I normally have," Dawn professed quietly.

The doctor wrote down all the information and started to think of the possibility, "well you might need to take a few tests to confirm my suspicions," the doctor said as he handed the young bluenette the items she need to help him with the test, come back tomorrow morning I will make a time for you before everyone else alright," the doctor instructed Dawn with a smile, he closed the folder and escorted Dawn out of the room.

Dawn walked back home calmly and started to think of the possibility, but she still wasn't certain of what was still going on, "even the doctor couldn't explain what was going on," Dawn expressed her disappointment.

Ash had been home for a while now waiting for his young wife to make it back home, he was cooking dinner for the both of them, while cooking he heard knocking on the door, "alright I am coming," As called over to the person casually.

Ash opened the door to see Dawn standing there in a dejected manner, "not even the doctor knows what's going on," Dawn cried as she jumped into Ash's arms, Ash placed his hands in Dawns long blue hair and started to stroke it gently, "I don't know what to do," Dawn cried while Ash helped her inside.

Ash looked at his wife for a moment and was beginning to worry about her, "hey I am sure the doctor will give us an answer soon," Ash consoled Dawn while rubbing her blue hair.

After a few hours Ash and Dawn were asleep after a silent dinner between the two, "Ash, good night and I love you," Dawn said before falling asleep.

(Three days later)

Ash was having his day off from work hoping to spend it with his wife, he sat at home to wait for Dawn to return home after going to the doctors after falling sick, Ash picked up the remote to watch TV to keep his mind of Dawn's illness, he flicked the channels but his thoughts continued to be of Dawn, "that's just great there is crap on TV like always," Ash hissed in slight anger before switching the flatscreen TV off before throwing the remote back down onto the couch, 'maybe I should go out for a walk,' Ash thought as he grabbed his keys and stood up and walked to the door of their house, before opening the door he picked up his mobile phone and opened the door.

Ash walked out of the house and closed the door, Ash made sure that he left a quick note on the table just in case she returned home before he did, "alright now it's time to clear my mind," Ash told himself as he walked down the drive way of his home.

Ash walked through the town quietly as walked all over the place, "maybe I can get Dawn something to cheer her up and make her feel better," Ash told himself while looking around the shops that were just opening for business, 'I don't know why she had to leave so early,' Ash was constantly thinking while walking in and out of many different shops.

While Ash was going for a walk Dawn was waiting for the news about why she was feeling really sick, the doctor walked into the room with papers in hand, he walked back to his seat and sat down, Dawn was in the seat nervous of the what the doctor was about to tell her, fear was one of the emotions she was going through, 'I hope it isn't too bad,' Dawn thought while sitting quietly, the doctor sighed a little causing a chill to run down Dawn's back, 'as I thought the illness is incurable,' Dawn worried before looking at the smile of the doctor.

The Doctor looked up and opened the folder, "alright Dawn, I have some amazing news for you," the doctor told the young bluenette.

Dawn let out a sigh of relief before smiling at the doctor, 'there is no need to worry,' Dawn kept telling herself happily, "so what is wrong with me?" Dawn asked quickly.

"There is nothing wrong with you," the doctor retorted, "but you're expecting sometime in November," the doctor finish with an assuring grin.

Dawn sat there with her mouth wide open not only in surprise but in happiness as well; she quickly got up and yelled in excitement while running around the room with renewed energy, "I am pregnant! I can't believe it! I can't wait to tell Ash!" Dawn yelled in a celebratory manner, Dawn settled back into her seat to hear more information from the doctor.

The doctor let out a quick chuckle as he watched the young patient settle down from the exciting news, "As long as you don't do that too often your child should be fine," the doctor laughed before closing the folder, "now every now and then you will have to get some check-ups to make sure the child is alright," the doctor instructed Dawn calmly.

Dawn nodded happily as she marched out of the room with pride, Dawn walked out of the surgery with a wide grin, 'I know that Ash would be out walking so if I can beat him home I will surprise him,' Dawn thought with a cheeky grin.

After walking for about twenty minutes Dawn had made it home with great excitement, she waited for Ash to make it back home, she sat down and started to think of a way to tell Ash about the unexpected new member of their family. The place was silent until Dawn heard the front door openin she walked out of the kitchen and saw Ash walking into the house, "hey Dawn, so how was the doctors?" Ash asked noticing that Dawn was looking down at the ground in shame, "not good is it?" Ash asked with a frown.

Dawn looked up got closer to Ash, her eyes with the sparkles that Ash had been missing and the bubbly expression that Ash loved about his wife, "Ash I have amazing news that you need to know," Dawn confessed to her husband, "I am going to be a mother," Dawn said with a renewed smile.

Ash stood there in shock not know what to say, many emotions ran through his mind, his worries about his wife now evaporated, "I am going to be….." Ash said as he looked at Dawn's innocent blue eyes, Ash embraced Dawn and the two started to celebrate, "to be a father!" Ash yelled in excitement as Dawn returned Ash's embrace. "I am going to be a father!" Ash repeated over and over again.

"I am going to be a mother!" Dawn yelled happily

"I am going to be a father!" Ash yelled as the two repeated themselves for another thirty seconds, while the exciting news started to set in for the two, "I cannot wait to see my child," Ash said as tears started to roll down his face.

Dawn watched Ash cry for a moment, "Ash are you crying?" Dawn asked with a wide grin.

Ash nodded in approval and started to rub the tears away, "I am only crying in happiness, knowing that I am going to be a dad," Ash expressed his pride, the two excitedly embraced again from the news, Ash and Dawn pulled back from the hug, they looked around lounge room and back at each other, "I think we're going to need a bigger house," Ash said with laughter.

Dawn looked around the lounge room and looked back at Ash again she nodded happily, "I was just about to suggest the same thing," Dawn declared happily. "So who should we tell first?" Dawn asked calmly while being held by Ash whose tears were still flowing from happiness.

"I think we should tell your mom," Ash suggested while looking into Dawn's bright blue eyes.

Dawn bowed her head happily before heading to the room to pack their luggage for a journey to tell their parents the good news, "Ash, I can't wait to tell them the exciting news," Dawn said happily while packing her clothes in a small backpack.
