Both couples had spent most of the night laughing and talking with one another at the dinner table. Now they were both lying in their beds and talking to their partners, sharing tales of humor, anger, and even sadness.
Jessie ran her fingers along James' chest and sighed, closing her eyes and sighing peacefully. "What was the mission this time?" she asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Same as always to catch that twerp's damned Pickachu."
"Well did you get it?"
He grinned slightly. "What do you think?"
She smirked and rolled her eyes as well. "Okay .I guess not.."
Meowth, at the foot of their bed yawned loudly and rolled onto his back. "You's guys er never gonna catch that rat."
Jessie gave him a playful shove with her foot, causing him to laugh slightly. Then she turned to James again. "Did you enjoy your company at least?"
He shrugged. "Believe it or not Butch is a pretty good guy. Smokes like a chimney though That *might* explain his voice " He snickered at his own joke.
Jessie rolled her eyes. "I got to know Cass real well too " she informed.
"Oh? What dirty little secrets did *you* find out?"
She took a very deep breath. " She's my sister, James "
He blinked for a moment. "Come again?"
She sighed. "Cassidy is my sister "
His eyes went wide at this. "Jess? Did you just find this out?" When she shook her head no he scratched his head in thought. "Well how long have you known?"
"A *long* time since we met at the breeding center it's a long story and I'll tell you the whole thing later "
he shook his head again. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because," she said. "I didn't know how much I really cared about her until now "

Cassidy sighed deeply and heavily to herself and gazed into Butch's brown eyes. "I'm sorry," she suddenly confessed. "I didn't mean to hurt you so bad."
He laid a hand over her growing belly. "it doesn't matter now. We're together and that's all that we need "
Her hand covered his now and she smiled slightly. "Can you feel it?" she asked him.
He bit his lip as he concentrated. He spoke no words only waited until he felt the life within her stir, and he was moved. "Cassi " he breathed. "I felt our baby move "
"Isn't it amazing, Butch? To think that that we created life together? I didn't think so at first" She caught him gazing at her and she blushed slightly.
"You're so beautiful " he whispered.
"Butch?" she began. "Why *do* you say that you love me?"
"To many reasons to list." He reached up and brushed her bangs out of her face. Then he pressed his lips to hers. "I love you," he said. "And that's all there is to it."
"I love you too," she swore. She leaned forward into another kiss, and stayed there in his embrace for the remainder of the evening.

The man had only been allowed to stay at home for the rest of the week. They were to set off again after the "rat" of course. They would be back in time for the birth of their children of course
Jessie, in the meantime, had grown fascinated with the immense size of her belly. She had even discovered that she could rest a plate of food on it while she stood and ate. In fact, she'd made a habit of it. Today was no different, and Cassidy shook her head at her.
"You're weird," she teased. She watched Jessie shrug and shovel another forkful of food into her mouth. "You're also huge," she added.
"You're pretty huge yourself," Jessie countered.
Cassidy rubbed her own belly. "Yeah but it's worth it "
The two of them exchanged a strangely friendly glance. Cassidy smiled shyly.
"Hey, Red? Can I ask you somethin?"
"Sure thing."
Cassidy sat next to her sister. "Did you love James well the first time that you well"
Jessie smiled at her. "Of course!"
The blond fiddled with the ends of her hair. "Well I didn't love Butch”
Jessie paused from her meal and set the plate aside. "You didn't?"
"No"
"Well then why did you do it?"
"Fit of passion," Cassidy replied. "Neither of us could control it anymore."
Jessie wrapped her arms around her sister's shoulders. "Cass you love him now don't you?"
Cassidy shrugged. "I think so but you don't think that it's just because I'm having his baby do you?"
Jessie shook her head solemnly. "I *know* that you love him, Cass. And soon you'll see that as well for sure."
Cassidy smiled warmly to herself. "Thanks Jess. I needed to hear that from you."

Butch was starring at a small photo across the fire from James. James noticed and smiled to himself. "Thinking about her again, eh?"
Butch looked up, a slight blush on his cheeks. "Yeah I guess that I am what about you?"
James leaned back against a rock and beamed to himself. "I'm always thinking about my Jessica."
Butch grinned. "She is pretty cute"
"And she's *mine* too so don't get any ideas!"
Butch laughed loudly. "Don't get your panties in a knot, Twig-Boy!" he teased. "I've got a woman!" He rested Cassidy's photo beside him and settled to go to sleep for the night. With a deep sigh, he closed his eyes.
James watched him silently for a while before he spoke up. "Are you hoping for a son?"
Butch opened only one eye. "Maybe. You?"
"I don't mind," James replied. "I'm just happy to be a daddy." He smiled to himself again.
Butch sat up and leaned forward, once again interested in the conversation. "Did you *plan* this?"
"Plan it?"
"Yeah. Were you *trying* to get her pregnant?" He laughed when James blushed at the question. "You *were*!" he cried triumphantly.
James began to poke nervously at the fire with a stick. "Not quite." He looked up and met eyes with the other man. They shared a moment of understanding.
"You really love her," Butch said quietly.
James nodded. "More than anything in this world" He smiled slightly. "And you really love Cass."
Butch smiled. "With all of my heart."
The turned to their own tasks again James poking at the fire, Butch settled for his slumber.

Cassidy woke up late one night to the sound of whimpering. She sat up and listened a moment. "Red?" she called. She heard her sister sit up as well.
"Cass?"
Quickly, the blond rolled out of her bed and scurried into the next room. She kneeled next to the bed and clasped Jessie's hand. "Sis? Is it time?"
With a groan, Jessie nodded.
"Oh! Oh, no!" Cassidy panicked. She wiped the sweated hair from Jessie's face as the redhead rocked in agony.
"Call James," Jessie gasped. "Please!"
Still panicked, Cassidy reached for the phone and dialed. It was now that she was thankful for forcing the men to take a cell phone with them. "It's okay, Red" she assured as the phone rang. "He'll get here in time"
"He'd better hurry," Jessie moaned back.
Cassidy wrapped her arms around Jessie as she shook and held the phone on her shoulder. "Pick *up*!" she cried.

Butch awoke with a startle at the ringing by his head. Fumbling around in the dark, he finally found the source. "Hello?" he answered, his voice even froggier than usual. ((^-^hehe))
"Butch!"
Instantly recognizing the voice, he smiled. "Hey, babe"
"Butch, wake up James!"
"What's the matter?" He sensed the fear in her voice now.
"It's Jess," she replied. "She's having the babies *now*!"
"CRAP!" Butch cried loudly, jumping to his feet.
James awoke at this. "Crap? Carp-what?"
Butch turned to him, now just as panicked at Cassidy. "Jess is in labor!"
"CRAP!!!" James exclaimed, jumping up as well. In a hurry, he was pulling on his boots again.
"Cass," Butch began. "How close are her contractions?" He could hear Jessie wail in the background.
"Uh pretty close " Cassidy answered.
Butch turned in time to see James running full speed out of their camp and onto the dark woodland path. "Hey! Wait!" he called to him.
"I have to hurry!" James called back over his shoulder. "Or I'll miss the birth of my babies!"
"But we have the jeep!" Butch protested as James disappeared out of sight. He shook his head. "Idiot."
Cassidy couldn't help laughing slightly. "Hurry home," she said.
"Okay." He hesitated. "I love you."
"I love you too." Hanging up the phone, she turned to see Jessie grinning at her. "What?" she cried defensively.
"I told you that you'd realize it soon enough." She gritted her teeth in agony.
Cassidy wrapped her arms around her sister in an attempt to comfort her. "Thanks, Red," she whispered. "I love you too, ya know?" She kissed her sister's forehead.
Jessie smiled, despite her pain. "Yah-yah"
All they could do now was wait, and pray that James and Butch made it in time to see the birth of the twins.
