Hello :) Here is a little two part story that I wrote last night. It was originally meant to be a oneshot but I couldn't resist splitting it for suspense ;P It was meant to be just PokeShipping because I couldn't resist adding in a little WishfulShipping :') I hope you enjoy! :)

Ages:

Ash: 32

Misty: 32

Ben: 14

Katie: 14

James (Ketchum): 9

Jessie (Ketchum): 8

Disclaimer: The only characters I own are Ash and Misty's children; I don't own any of the others or pokemon itself.

It was a beautiful evening in Cerulean City. The now ink coloured sky was filled with millions of stars twinkling like diamonds and the luminous white moon watched over the peaceful city.

Misty sat on a beanbag between her and Ash's youngest children's bed. She had just read to them 'The Hungry Caterpie' book and was patiently waiting for them to drift off to sleep.

After about an hour of patiently waiting, Misty was dozing off herself. She was too sleepy to realize that her beloved husband had crept up behind her.
'Hey, beautiful.' he whispered into her ear as he wrapped his muscular arms around her slim waist.

Misty jumped at the action but smiled to herself as she looked fondly into his chocolate orbs.
'Hi, honey.' she snuggled into his warm neck.

She was just about to press a loving kiss against Ash's inviting lips when their children leapt out of bed and begun jumping up and down excitedly.
'Daddy!' they greeted joyfully, lisping slightly because they still had their thumbs in their mouths.

'Hiya Jessie.' he pressed a kiss to his daughters black locks before ruffling his son's gingery brown tufts. 'Hey little James. Shouldn't you two be in bed?' he asked, pretending to look at his watch and tut in a shocked manner.

James just shrugged and continued to suck his fingers while Jessie spoke up for the two.
'We were asleep but then you woke us up!' she moaned although neither children had fallen asleep yet.

Ash sighed before sitting on his daughters bed and pulling her close.
'How about to make up for me 'waking you up', me and Mommy together will read you a story?' he looked to his wife for an agreement before turning back to his little girl. 'Okay?'

James nodded eagerly and instantly hopped under the covers, pulling Pikachu on his chest.
Ash glanced at Jessie.
'Why don't you do what James has done and climb into your nice warm bed?' he suggested.

Jessica shrugged and made her green orbs all huge.
'I wanna sit on your lap, Daddy.' she lisped cutely.

Ash sighed and shook his head fondly. He just couldn't resist letting any of his daughters get what they want. The pokemon master sighed wearily but patted his knee for Jessie to climb on.

Once the whole family was settled, Misty turned to her beloved children.
'Now, what story would you like?' she smiled broadly at them.

Once again, James just shrugged. It wasn't that the young boy didn't like talking, he just wasn't used to it; his younger sister and best friend, Jessie, didn't let him get a word in edgewise.

The raven haired girl sighed happily, getting everyone's attention.
'Can you tell us how you and daddy got together?' she asked breathlessly, her eyes sparking like emeralds. Jessie was only eight years old but had already inherited her mother's passion for romance.

Misty blushed but turned to her husband. Ash nodded at his gorgeous wife, a blush appearing across the bridge of his button nose.

Before Misty could begin the story, the door to the children's bedroom squeaked open and in came the other two members of the Ketchum family.
'Ben, Katie!' Ash smiled broadly at his the older twins. 'I thought you were watching one of Professor Oak's lectures on the tv?'

Ben smiled and sat down on his little brothers bed.
'Yeah we WERE. But Katie heard something about a romance story and dragged me up here.' he rolled his eyes and looked at his ginger haired sister.

Katie sighed and joined her mum on the beanbag.
'It wasn't me!' she scoffed. 'You wanted to get ideas on how to announce your undying love for Willow Striaton!'

A heavy blush appeared on the teenager's tanned face as his hands began gesturing wildly.
'I do NOT have a crush on one of Cilan and Iris's triplets!' he sulked.

Katie rolled her eyes at her in denial twin brother and wrapped her arm around her mothers waist.
'See! He's just as stubborn as dad used to be!'

Both father and son glared at the high-fiving girls before huffing and crossing their arms.

James interrupted them by taking his thumb out of his mouth with a pop.
'Can you hurry up and tell us the story then?' he asked impatiently. He hated to admit it, but Jessie's romantic streak was starting to rub off on him.

Ash glanced at his wife and nibbled his lip sheepishly. When she nodded for him to go ahead, he turned to the rest of the group.
'So here's what happened...'

There you go! How was chapter 1? :) Part 2 should be up tomorrow if I can persuade my mum to let me upload it during my lunch break! ;P Thanks a lot for reading! :') I'd better go now and get on with some school work; I gotta learn about Plant Biology - BORING! :/ Thanks once again! :')
