Love and Babysitting: Chapter 6

"Are you gunna kiss mommy tonight?" -Aurora

It was the day of the party and Ash went to Misty's to pick her up. When he knocked on her door Aurora answered it. "Mommy's gettin' weady. I go tell her you here."

"Thanks sweetie." Ash said as he sat down on the couch waiting. When Aurora came running back out she jumped on his lap and hugged him.

"I missed you Ass." Ash smiled down at her and ruffled her hair. "Hey!" She squealed.

Ash grinned evilly and looked at Aurora. "I think the tickle monster has decided to play today!" Ash said as he went to tickle Aurora.

She squealed and ran away giggling. Ash went after her and soon caught up with her, he picked her up and set her on the couch tickling her. "Ah! Hehehehe stop!! Ehehehe no…ehehe" Despite Aurora's request Ash continued his assault. After two more minutes he stopped.

"The tickle monster is pooped out now." Ash said as he sat down next to her. Aurora nodded breathlessly and smiled. She got up and sat in his lap snuggling up to him.

"Ass?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you gunna kiss mommy tonight?"

Ash blushed and stuttered slightly. "I…um…why do you ask that?"

"Cuz mommy told me that see wanted you too."

Ash blushed even more. "Maybe…maybe." Content with his answer, not really knowing what he meant though, Aurora snuggled even more into Ash and fell asleep.

~10 min later~

Ash had been pondering the name of the hotel ever since Suzie had made a big deal about it.

~* Flashback *~

"Hey Misty," Suzie said as they were cleaning up. "What's the name of the hotel the party's held at?"

"Um its Primo Bacio. I don't know exactly what it means because…its… Italian (its very roughly translated sorry if it ain't right)?" Misty had a questioning look as she slowed down her words as she watched Suzie because as soon as she said the hotel name Suzie was clutching her sides laughing.

"What does it mean?" Ash said as he walked into the kitchen. Misty jumped slightly and turned to Ash.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"When you said the hotel name."

"It means…it means…" She could barely hold in her laughter as she told Misty. Misty blushed three shades of red and turned around quickly washing the dishes.

"Um…can you tell me now?" Ash said as he scratched the back of his head.

"NO!" Misty yelled before Suzie had a chance to say it. Ash sweat dropped and walked away.

~End~

'Hmm…I wonder what it meant that she was so embarrassed about…' His mind stopped working as he looked up. In fact the only thing that seemed to work was well…his mouth was moving but his voice didn't seem to work.

Standing in her hallway door was a very nervous looking Misty. Her hair was up in a French twist with two strands hanging down in front of her face. The dress was dark blue, silk, spaghetti-strapped that went all the way down to the ankles with a slit on the right side that went slightly above the knee. She had a silver-chained necklace with a silver Vaporeon charm on it. Her earrings matched the necklace. Her make-up was light, but there was just enough to bring out her eyes and make her look more radiant.

During Ash's speechlessness Aurora woke up and saw her Mom. "Mommy!" She ran to her and hugged her legs. "You look very pweatty." Aurora said while smiling.

Misty smiled and bent down to hug her daughter. While hugging Aurora whispered into her ear. "Mommy, you might get what you wanted. And then maybe I can have a daddy and you and Ass can be just like Todd and Dupica!" She said excitedly.

~Yet, another Flashback~

Misty walked in the door quietly and looked over to see Todd and Duplica sleeping on the couch the TV was on but by the look of what was on they probably weren't watching it. She noticed the smiles on their faces. They seemed more…happy. 'I wonder what happened.' Misty thought to herself. Before waking the two she went to Aurora's bedroom to make sure she was sleeping.

She came back stopping in front of the two when something caught her eye. She gasped. She grinned and decided to leave them there. Before she went to bed she left a little note on the coffee table. On it was one word.

Congratulations.

Misty looked at Duplica again and smiled to herself, yet frowning on the inside. She glanced at the ring. 'She deserves it. I never thought she would be married before me…Oi! Stop it Misty be happy for her! Worry about yourself later!' Misty shook her head and walked to her room.

~End Flashback~

Misty blushed at her daughter's words and spoke. "One day sweetie, one day." She spoke wistfully and her eyes were a little watery. She stood back up quickly smiling and making it like nothing was wrong. Ash walked over to her and finally spoke up.

"You…you look beautiful." It took all he had not to croak when he spoke. 'What's wrong with you Ketchum!? You've never been this nervous! Not even at the Finals!'

'You know what's wrong.' Another voice said.

'Oh shut up! Rule number one of the work world: Never have intimate relations with your employer or co-workers!' He said to the voice.

'Whoops look like you broke that rule.'

Misty looked at him a bit strangely trying to figure out what was going on in his head as she noticed his confused yet happy face. Shaking her head not really wanting to know, she spoke. "Thank you." She said more quietly then expected.

They stood there nervously for a couple seconds when Ash broke the silence. "Oh, Brock and Suzie should be here soon." As soon as soon as the words left his mouth the doorbell rang.

Aurora ran to the door letting the two in. Misty told them where everything was, she was about to give them the 'If there's an emergency' and 'Don't let her…' and 'put her to bed at...' speech, but Ash interrupted.

"Shall we go, Misty." Ash said offering his arm.

Misty smiled forgetting her speech and said, "We shall." As she slipped her arm through his. They said their good byes and walked out the door. Suzie and Brock waited a couple seconds before Brock spoke. "Shall we expect a surprise when they come back?" He asked.

"I believe so." Suzie said as she went to play 'House' with Aurora.

(Ok this party they are going to is really formal because well…it just is and I wanted it that way. It's almost like a Christmas party for your work and you're trying to impress the boss…though in this story it isn't Christmas ^^; )

Ash and Misty never really talked on their way to the hotel. Once they got there a lady with a nametag that read 'Vivian' handed them two nametags. Misty and Ash wrote their names on it and pinned it to what they were wearing. (it's sorta small so it won't look bad with what you're wearing.)

"Wow," Ash exclaimed. "I don't think I've ever known a work party to look this fancy." He looked around at all the decorations. There was the usual flowers everywhere, nice tables, and there was even an ice sculpture of a swan.

"Yeah, the boss really likes these fancy things. Come one let's dance." Misty said as she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the dance floor. After about four songs the two decided to rest. (OK so I rushed it a bit ^^; sorry had to get to the point)

"Hey I'll be back I'm going to get something to drink. Do you want anything." Ash asked her as he got up.

Misty smiled. "Water will be fine. Thank you."

"No problem." He said as he walked away.

He came back a couple minutes later. He heard arguing and recognized one of the voices as Misty's. The other one belonged to a man. It sounded familiar. He got closer and stopped in shock at the man who was there as Misty yelled.

"I though you had 'better things' to do Gary!"

Shigeru…it really is him.

"I did! Cynthia here is a lot better than you are!" Gary yelled back smirking as he pointed to a blonde girl behind him. Cynthia as he called her also smirked at Misty almost as if she were taunting her. Misty went red in anger.

Ash, quickly noticing where this would go, set down the drinks. He walked up next to Misty, his back to Gary. He smiled at her and she gave him a questioning look. He then turned around to face Gary. "Hey." He said as if he said nonchalantly.

"Who the hel…Ash! What the hell are you doing here!?" Gary yelled shocked.

"I came here with Misty." Ash stated simply.

"You came here with that bitch?" Gary laughed and continued. "Are you going to get an easy lay like James did?" He laughed even more.

Misty gasped as tears came to her eyes. She quickly brushed them away. Ash looked over at her and could see the pain in her eyes. James…James from Team Rocket James? How…this'll have to wait 'till later. He thought as he turned his attention back to Gary.

"First off, she is not a bitch. She is Misty. Second, I came here with her, not because she asked, but because I wanted to." Ash said his voice cold and sincere.

"Yeah whatever Ash. If you really did come here to be with that slut because YOU wanted to and not her tempting you then prove it." Gary said smirking, as Ash grew angrier.

At this point Misty could do nothing to keep her tears. With one final look at them her tears ran freely as she sprinted out of the building and out to a balcony. Before going after her Ash turned once again to face Gary.

Gary flinched slightly looking at Ash's eyes. Anger, confusion, hate, and a look of death were evident in his eyes. When Ash spoke it made him jump slightly noticing the hardening of it and the edge it had. "One day Gary, one day you'll get all that is coming to you. 'What comes around goes around.'" He stated.

"Whatever Ketchum. Have fun in bed." Gary said as he started walking away.

Ash growled and grabbed Gary by the shoulder and turned him around. "Like I said what comes around" He punched Gary in the mouth, knocking him to the ground. "Goes around." Ash watched him carefully.

"Aw shit!" He yelled. Gary quickly got back up wiping the blood away from his mouth. "That's one of the stupidest things you've ever done. I may have lost to you in the Pokemon League, but this is my home." Before Gary could go on a man with two strong looking guys next to him came walking up. Gary grabbed Ash's collar and whispered into his ear. "You better watch it Ketchum. Her child's father works for me. I'm sure he wouldn't mind her in bed again." Gary roughly let go of his collar and walked away before Ash had time to react. Taking one last glare at Gary's retreating figure he ran to where Misty had run.

He ran out to the balcony, looking around he noticed Misty's figure in the dark. She was shaking, from cold or tears, maybe both he couldn't tell. He slowly walked over to her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

She looked up into his warm brown eyes as the tears flew freely down her face. "I...I'm s…sorry…you had…you had to hear all of that." She barely managed to get out before she collapsed into his arms sobbing harder then before.

Ash sat down on the bench that was out there and slowly started rocking her back and forth stroking her hair as if it would calm her down. Slowly but surely Misty's sobs became whimpers. Ash hugged her tight as she put her arms around his neck trying to find more comfort. She took a deep shaky breath and let it out slowly. Looking up into his eyes she smiled and more tears ran down her face, but they weren't sad tears, they were tears of happiness. It had been so long since she had met someone like him.

He cared.

She could see it in his eyes and she could sense it.

And that was all that mattered to her.

He didn't bombard questions at her he just let her get it all out not caring what the situation was. She could tell he was hurting because he didn't know what to say to her, for he did not know exactly what happened and to find out in a span of 5 minutes was pretty tough. After a long silence washed over them Ash put a finger under her chin and lifted it up looking into her eyes. He smiled and spoke softly. "Are you alright?"

Misty nodded. "Th…thank you." She croaked out. She lent in to him a bit more feeling his warmth and wanting more of it.

He knew she needed comforting and he knew what she wanted, but he seemed hesitant at first. How do I know if this is what she really wants or if she's just looking for comfort? He shook away his thoughts, as he looked, if possible, even deeper into her eyes. Giving in he slowly bent down and kissed her lips softly.

When he looked back at her he smiled, seeing the small smile slowly appear on her lips. She still had her eyes closed and seemed to be savoring the moment. Without saying anything Misty slowly rested her head on Ash's chest and fell asleep.

Ash smiled down at her and kissed her forehead. His smile slowly turned into a frown. 'What am I going to do? I just made things worse for her without even knowing. I have to keep her safe. Misty and Aurora. If I had only not gone to the store that day, she'd be perfectly fine with her daughter.

Yes, but you did go to the store and you did meet her and you fell in love with her.

You again? Won't you ever go away?

Nope, not a chance. Besides who would tell you that you're a stupid jack-ass for saying her life would have been better off. What do you think would have happened to her tonight if you didn't go with her?

Ash sighed, knowing the voice was right. 'I guess we should go now…no point in staying.' Ash gently shook Misty awake. "Hey, wake up sleepyhead." He said as he smiled softly at her tired face.

"Hmm…oh! How long have I been asleep!?" Misty said worryingly.

Ash chuckled. "Not long. I think we should go now, I don't think your boss will be upset if we leave early."

Misty just nodded staring into his eyes. They slowly got up and headed out. Ash walked nervously beside her. He had a very important question to ask her, but because of what happened he felt it would be wrong.

Misty, noticing his nervousness, asked, "Ash? Are you ok?"

He nodded. "There's something I need to know Misty. I know you might not want to tell me now, but for your safety and your daughter's I need to know what happened between you and James, and this whole thing with Gary."

Misty hung her head; her eyes started to water. "I…I don't think…I'm ready or stable enough to tell you right now." She said softly. "I'm sorry." The tears had silently slid down her face as she continued to stare at the ground in front of her.

"Don't cry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He said lifting up her chin and whipping away her tears. "Just, just tell me when you're ready ok?"

Misty nodded and suddenly threw her arms around him. She sobbed into his shirt letting everything out. Ash hugged her tight and stood there rocking her until she finally calmed down. When she did they walked out and down to the car. They headed back to Misty's house, while in the car they talked about what they should do about Gary and James. When they entered Misty's house Brock and Suzie were on the couch watching a movie. Well at least Suzie was watching it, Brock was sleeping.

"We're going to have to move." Ash said as soon as he walked in.

"Why?" Suzie asked confused.

"Because we are all in danger, especially Misty."

"How?" Brock said awakening all of a sudden.

"I had a little run in with Gary tonight. He threatened us and the best thing to do is move." Misty replied.

"To where?" Suzie asked yet again.

"I was thinking back to the Pokemon World. My house is big enough, my mom is the only one there." Ash replied.

"You had time to think about this didn't you?" Brock said. Without waiting for an answer he asked, "When do we leave?"

"As soon as possible."

"We need to tell Todd, Duplica and Aurora." Misty said suddenly.

"Do you think Todd and Duplica will want to go?" Ash asked her.

"Yep, because they wanted to get married in the Pokemon World anyway."

"Good…well I think we should stay here for the night." Ash said.

"Uh…I don't think I have enough beds. Unless…" Misty turned red and stuttered slightly. "Well…uh… you can sleep in my room…the bed's big enough." She paused slightly as the blush on her face grew and then continued. "Suzie and Brock, you can have the couch since it does turn into a bed and Todd and Duplica have their own room."

They thanked her as she helped them get the bed ready and then Ash and Misty went to her room. They were sitting on the bed as Ash pulled her to him from behind. Leaning his head on her shoulder as Misty put her hand up to his cheek and caressed it lightly. They sat there in silence for a while both thinking about what lay ahead.

"Ash." Misty said quietly.

"Hmm..?"

"I think…I think I'm ready to tell you now." She said her voice wavering.

Ash lifted his head and turned her around so he could look into her eyes. "Are you sure?" He asked her as he wiped a lone tear from her face.

She nodded and started to tell him. She had stopped many times to gather herself for her tears would overwhelm her causing her to break off at strange spots. Ash didn't rush her. He sat there and held her close comforting her as she cried and retold him the story.

"James had invited me over for dinner. Just a friendly thing he said. We ate dinner and talked afterwards. He had just broken up with his girlfriend. I never found out her name I just saw pictures of her, her hair was red and long. She had pale skin and blue eyes almost like a sapphire blue. I had a feeling he only did it to make her jealous, but I was lonely and as long as I was with someone it didn't matter. Weeks went by and I started to trust him more. But at the same time I couldn't go anywhere without the feeling of being watched. One night though we were at a party…."

~* flashback *~

I walked in with James, a man, Gary I found out later, was introduced to me. He seemed nice. They were talking to each other secretly.

"Hey Misty come over here and have a drink with me." James yelled.

"All right." I said back to him. When I walked over I ignored the evil smiles on Gary's and James' faces and sat down next to him. As I drank everything slowly started to get fuzzy.

"Misty are you ok?" James asked with fake concern.

"No not…" And then I fainted. After that I remember being in a room on a bed. He was standing over the bed. I started to panic, but I couldn't move. And that's …that's when it happened.

~* End flashback*~

When she was finished her tears had diminished and she felt lighter. "Thank you for listening." She said while drying her tears.

Ash smiled and kissed her forehead. "Thank you for telling me."

Misty threw her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.

His head was spinning. He didn't expect her to kiss him like this. 'Holy crap! She's kissing me! Not that it hasn't happened before, but why do I fall in love with her even more when she kisses me? God I could stay like this forever.' Ash started to deepen the kiss but stopped and pulled away slowly savoring the moment. He couldn't get her soft warm lips out of his mind he wanted more, but he knew he couldn't he loved her too much. He'd wait; he'd have to wait hell he'd wait forever for her. Misty smiled and snuggled closer into Ash. She fell asleep slowly after.

Ash looked down at her sleeping figured and he grew more determined to help her and her daughter. Ash hugged her tightly and fell asleep with Misty in his arms.
