Blood\'s Desire

Chapter Four: Just In Time

“Oh my Gods!” Sabrina was startled from her work with a vision.

Julia placed her hand on her shoulder in concern, from what she could tell these many disquieting visions in a couple of days was not exactly normal for the girl. The psychic slowly subsided from the orgasm that accompanied all of her major “attacks”. When she opened her eyes she noticed how Julia\'s hand was on her thigh, close to her knee, patting her trying to sooth and calm her down.

“Hey, you alright?” The hand moved a bit further up her leg, it certainly did feel comforting.

“Yeah, I\'m fine but…”

“What did you see?” Again the hand moved a little further up.

“This woman with red hair, getting an abortion.” Sabrina wiped her eyes. She just couldn\'t understand it. Although plenty of women go through the procedure, she never had such a strong connection to one. She was in fact against abortion herself, but knew that it was a woman\'s right to choose.

“Do you think this has something to do with Max and Suicune?” Julia\'s hand had yet again slid a little bit up her thigh; she was now between both her legs and could feel her fingertips gently squeezing in an act of comfort.

“It\'s not just one baby either…” Sabrina continued, all to aware of the fact that she was well past damp. “She is having twins, a boy and a girl.”

Julia looked her in the eye, and it was then that her hand met the dampness on her pants. The ebony haired woman twitched. The hand was rubbing her now gently and their eyes were still on each other\'s.

“Do you like that?” Julia whispered, applying a harder pressure with her hand to the psychic\'s crotch. She could feel how the girl was basically melting in her hands.

“We… we have to stop her from going through with the procedure.” Sabrina said, she spoke through gritted teeth. The sensation Julia was causing was incredible, and as far as the psychic knew she was no lesbian. “I have a bad feeling…” She continued. “She needs to give birth to those babies.” A moan escaped her lips.

“Then we should find her.” Julia whispered as she brought her face closer.

The kiss was hot, longing, begging, it was everything pleasurable rolled together into this demanding pressure that sent both their hearts beating furiously in their chests. Sabrina leaned closer into Julia moving so her hand pressed even more against her body. She was soaked now, and wondered if Julia was as well. A thought, which obviously unnerved her. This was all new exciting and Gods was it good. Their hands trailed down each other\'s bodies, feeling, touching, kissing wildly…

“Honey? May? We\'re home!” Norman called out to his daughter.

“Dad, I\'m in the living room.” His daughter called out to him.

With Brawly fallowing close behind him; the couple made they\'re way to their living room only to find not only Norman\'s daughter May, but another teenager, namely a round, chubby, large boy sitting next to May and both were laughing at a TV show.

“Hey sweetheart.”

“Hi daddy, hey Brawly.”

“Hey babes.” Brawly kissed his adoptive daughter.

There was a long and awkward pause during which said large round boy continued to watch TV.

“Um… aren\'t you going to introduce us to your friend?”

May glanced between her two fathers and her friend.

“Uh… um… Daddy… Brawly… um, I\'d like you both to meet Sid. He\'s in all of my classes at school.”

Sid stood up awkwardly and smiled at Norman and Brawly.

“Hi, it\'s nice to meet you…” You could tell that Sid was a bit nervous. “May\'s really lucky to have two of the greatest gym leaders from Johto and Hoenn as her dad\'s.”

“Thanks Sid, that\'s very nice of you to say.” Norman smiled and patted him on the back.

“So… what are the two of you dudes up to?” Brawly asked as he sat on the coach and flipped to another television station.

“Well we did our homework, and then we decided to watch TV, we wanted to go swimming, but…”

“I… I really don\'t feel comfortable in my swim trunks.” Sid blushed.

“I see.” Norman nodded. He knew it must be awful for a boy his size, what with being made fun of and all.

“Dude don\'t worry about that, just get out there and have fun don\'t care what people think.”

“See, I told you Sid. I don\'t care what you look like, you\'re my friend and I want to have fun and I know you do too. You can\'t go through your whole life being afraid…” May trailed off. “Trust me, I know.”

“But you\'re pretty May. I\'m just fat and… ugly.”

“Sid… don\'t talk about yourself like that you\'re not fat, you\'re husky and you\'re well… I happen to think you\'re cute.”

May blushed after she said this, and Norman and Brawly knew this was the very beginning of a teenage relationship.

“Hey, I\'ll tell you dudes what, if your do decide to go swimming, I\'ll let you go with Makuhita, he needs to get some exercise.” As Brawly said this, he watched Sid\'s Chubby face light up in delight.

“You… you\'re… gonna let us… go swimming with your Makuhita?” Sid stuttered in disbelief.

“Yeah I\'m not going to let you dudes have all the fun, and besides I think Makuhita would love to go surfing with you and your Pokemon.”

“Wow… really?”

“Yes, really.”

“So do you want to go Sid?” May looked directly into Sid\'s eyes. She really liked this boy; he was intelligent, funny, cute, and talented.

“Yeah…” He hesitated. “I think I\'d like to try surfing with Brawly\'s Pokemon, maybe Blaistoise would like to meet Makuhita!”

“I\'m sure he would.” May smiled at him. She really wanted to kiss Sid, but knew that it was too much of a hasty thing to do.

“All right then… well, you two get ready to go, and I\'ll give you some money for dinner May, so the two of you don\'t eat any fast food. Eat at a nicer place, and May don\'t forget to leave a tip.”

“Ok daddy.”

“That\'s my girl.”

After kissing May good-bye and shaking Sid\'s hand, Norman and Brawly retired to their living room couch.

“He\'s cute.” Brawly smiled as he snuggled up against Norman\'s shoulder.

“Yeah he\'s a sweet heart. I\'m glad she\'s hanging out with a fun guy like Sid. He seems like a really good kid.”

“Mhmm, it\'s a shame though, he\'s so self conscious.”

“He\'ll grow out of it. Besides, if they do wind up dating as a couple, May will bring it out of him. She\'s had to deal with…” His speech faltered. “Some issues herself.”

Brawly nodded, Norman had told him all about the past problems they had as a family. He felt for both of them, for Norman as his husband, and May as his adoptive daughter. He loved both of them, especially May; he loved how Norman allowed him to help raise her.

“We\'re going to let May date?” Brawly asked. “Well she\'s fifteen now, of course we need to have a “talk” with her about it. We need to make sure she stay\'s responsible.” Norman smiled at his lover.

“Brawly, babe, don\'t worry she\'s a smart girl, besides those two are a long way from taking their relationship that far.”

“You\'re right.” Brawly chucked wholeheartedly. “Poor Sid\'s probably afraid to even hug or even hold her hand.”

“Mhmm.” Norman sighed and patted is lover on the head, kissing his cheek and smoothing back his long hair.

The couple continued to cuddle on their living room sofa as they watched TV. Norman tried to push May\'s past out of his mind, with the brand new beginnings of a great future. He wanted his daughter happy, and never to experience the pain she had again. Sid didn\'t look like the type of boy who would hurt his daughter. Hell if his crush on the girl weren\'t so apparent one might assume that the teddy bear like teen was gay. But that certainly was not the case with him. He was simply an overweight sweetheart who liked his one and only May. She was the sunshine after an entire month of April showers.

~* ))O(( *~

A shimmer of blue mist shown through the dense greenery of the forest floor. Five pups and their mother huddled together in a burrow under a tree. It was raining outside, lightning danced across the sky, in streaks of silver. The puppy\'s eyes were just beginning to open. Their mother knew that they could barely make out her face. She loved her babies. This was her first liter, and it would most likely be her last, as were her mothers before hers. Suicune were a dying species. There were very few of them left in the world, and mating was difficult, because inbreeding was a major issue. She knew in her heart that one day, there would no longer be a single of her kind left. Perhaps even her own darling children were the last.

~* ))O(( *~

“The mail\'s here Brock!” Delia announced cheerfully. “There are so many letters for Ash and Misty, but this one is addressed to all three of you.”

The brunette handed the breeder a neat looking decorative envelope, it was obviously an invitation. Brook took it and opened it quickly. The invitation was from May, her sweet sixteen was coming up in two weeks, May 1st was her birthday. The images of Brock\'s nightmares invaded his conscious. He hated thinking of May. He hated thinking about her sexually, it disturbed him, especially since he was so confused about his own interests in the opposite sex. He was twenty-six years old, and yet, a girlfriend had not graced his life.

“What is it Brock?” Mrs. Ketchum asked when she noticed how he seemed upset and withdrawn. She placed a hand on his shoulder in an act of comfort. “Are you alright Brock?”

“Oh… yes I\'m fine Ms. Ketchum, I just dazed out for a second there. I\'m ok now.”

“Alright, well I\'ll go make you a cup of tea, ok honey?”

“Thanks, Mrs. Ketchum, that would be great.”

Delia made her way to the kitchen, but turned around to address Brock.

“Brock?”

“Yes?”

“Do you know where Ash and Misty went off to so early this morning?”

“No clue.” It honestly seemed like Brock didn\'t know who his best friends were any more. “They didn\'t tell me anything.”

“Hmm… sometimes I seriously wonder about that boy.” Delia smirked and sighed. “Oh he\'s just growing up so fast, hell be out of the house for good in August.”

“You\'ll be visiting his house for dinner soon enough!” The breeder mused.

No sooner than he said this, Mrs. Ketchum burst into tears.

“My baby boy! He\'s all grown up!” She cried into the strong arms of the tall dark man, and once again his mind fought to tell him that she was off limits.

“It\'s all right Delia.” He patted her back, calming her down like she had done to him when he came back from Valencia Island. He still refused to speak the woman\'s name who had hurt him in so many unimaginable ways.

~* ))O(( *~

The teleportation was instantaneous as it always was. Sabrina and Julia now stood directly in front of Ash and Misty in the clinic. Women all around them gasped. Ash was standing gun in hand, aimed directly at the two young women, a gun which Misty did not know her fiancé was carrying or for that matter owned.

“What the hell is going on here?” He shouted.

“We\'ve come to deliver a message.” Julia spoke boldly, darling him to fire the aforementioned weapon.

Ash lowered the pistol.

“And you couldn\'t deliver it through some other means?” He placed the gun back into its holder at his side. “And who are you? I mean I know you\'re Sabrina, leader of the Saffron City Gym, and I know you\'re capable of teleporting, so now that that is settled, who are you?”

“Ms. Julia Monroe, I\'m a second semester graduate student at the Mauville City School of Forensic Sciences.”

Ash was not impressed and a bit confused to say the least.

“No offence Ms. Monroe that doesn\'t say much to me, but if you\'re a fan looking for an autograph, call my headquarters, they\'ll…”

“You\'re so full of yourself!” Julia stated angrily. “For your information, Master Ketchum, I happen to be on a high-priority investigation.”

“That\'s nice.” Ash turned around to see that Misty was still in a bit of shock sitting in her chair. “You ok honey?”

“Um… yeah I\'m fine.”

Sabrina, ignoring the looks from both Julia and Ash, knelt down next to the red head and took her hand.

“Listen, Ms. Waterflower. We do need to discuss something of major importance with you.” Sabrina gave the red head a small smile. “May we find a more suitable location?”

Misty glanced around her, and then finally to Ash who nodded.

“Yes, ok.”

The Pokémon Master felt that something was awfully fishy here, and he didn\'t want to be the one left holding the Magikarp.

“Thank you, now if everyone will join hands…”

“Hold on, wait a second, we have an appointment…”

In a flash they were transported to Sabrina\'s house.

“That is the point Master Ketchum, your “appointment” must not under any circumstances be made today, or for that matter, ever.”

“I don\'t think you understand, we\'re running out of time.” Ash stated forcefully.

“It is you, who does not understand, those babies…” Ash gave Sabrina a look. “Yes Master Ketchum, I said babies, as in the plural of baby.” The psychic then turned to Misty. “You\'re carrying twins Ms. Waterflower.” Instinctively, Misty placed her hands on her lower abdomen. Sabrina continued. “You see, I can\'t possibly let you go through with that procedure. I know that it is your right as a woman with her own will to choose, however with your situation Misty, there can only be one choice to make. You must continue with the pregnancy.”

They could all see that the young red head\'s bright green eyes were beginning to well with tears.

“I\'m not ready… I can\'t take care of one baby… how…” Misty sobbed into her hands.

“Shh honey, don\'t cry. I\'m here.” Ash pleaded as he ran his fingers through her soft fragrant hair.

“Misty,” Julia began “no one is truly ever ready for motherhood, but they make the best of it and do everything they can for their baby. You wont be alone in this, you have Ash to help you, your three sisters, Brock, as well as Mrs. Ketchum. Everyone will be more than willing to lend a helping hand. That\'s what families do.”

There was a bit of silence and a small smile formed across Misty\'s lips as she took it all in. Ash was the one to break the spell.

“Why are you telling us this? Why…” He couldn\'t go on.

It was once again time for Julia to become very serious.

“Your babies are very special, they are the key to the investigation I and several other people are involved in.”

“You must realize Master Ketchum…”

“Please Sabrina, just call me Ash.”

“Ash… something terrible has happened.”
