Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

Hi, Tiny-saur! Tell Silver he needs to get his butt over here right this second, it's an emergency.

[tsuntrader]

[Tinysaur complies and the sound of her extending her vines can be heard- she puts the pokegear down for a second before poking both Silver and Weavile in the head. Hey guys. Hey. It's important. Open your eyes.

...?

Silver emerges and heads for dry land, not even bothering to make an attempt to dry himself off before picking up his Pokég-

Oh. This must be pretty important, huh.]

Hilda? What's up? [He seems pretty nonchalant regardless.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Where are you? I gotta talk to you about something serious.

[tsuntrader]

Route...

[Serious. Really serious, from the sounds of it.

She probably looked for him first. Trying to get a Casteliacone, at the Battle Subway, then...]

Are you in Nimbasa? [Party's over, everyone back in their balls.

Except you, Honchkrow. He's gonna need you.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah. Where are you? I'll meet you halfway.

[tsuntrader]

Route 14. [Welp time to fly]

[50shadesofprotag]

I'll see you in White Forest, then.

[She'll get there on Terrorbolt! But she'll stop outside the city and walk the rest of the way in, that dragon always attracted all kinds of unwanted attention in bustling competitive areas.

Silver will find her at the Pokémon center as per usual, since it's the easiest meeting place to remember when they meet up in cities. She's in distant thought, a hand on her (currently flat) abdomen, drumming her fingers against her shirt.]

[tsuntrader]

[He arrives in White Forest around the same time as Hilda- and he spots her at the Pokémon Center before she spots him.

Sure, things might be really serious in a second, but...

...He tries to sneak up on her anyway.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[She never did get a handle on that ninja business, anyway! She rocks back and forth on her heels, putting her free hand in her pocket and keeping the other on her middle. A kid, huh? Well, she had little doubt that combining her genes and Silver's genes would make for one really awesome person. But her mom said that having Hilda was pretty difficult, so it probably followed that Hilda should be careful...

...Man serious topics like this suck.]

[tsuntrader]

[Good, she hasn't noticed. He casually walks juuust behind her, and...

...Covers her eyes with his hands.]

Guess who.

[50shadesofprotag]

[She still jolts, cursing out "Ah-kff-ss pokéJesus" before calming down.]

You're gonna have to stop that, you know! Actually you don't know.

[She doesn't push his arms away, just turning around so she was face-to-face with him at a comfortably affectionate distance.]

Okay so. Good news is, there's no bad guys or anything in Unova or anywhere else I've heard.

[tsuntrader]

[Too easy.

-The "not bad guys in Unova or anywhere else" does simplify things, though. Alright, no need to be too alarmed.]

Then what is it?

[50shadesofprotag]

What are your thoughts on having kids?

[tsuntrader]

...On what?

[50shadesofprotag]

Because I'm pregnant. So in nine month's you're going to be a dad.

[tsuntrader]

[50shadesofprotag]

You better be ready because I'm not letting you escape.

[tsuntrader]

Why would you- how would I-

[...]

Okay.

[50shadesofprotag]

Okay good.

Because I'm kind of freaking out a little.

So you're not allowed to freak out.

[tsuntrader]

[...He can do that. It hasn't really sunk in yet.]

We should probably talk about this somewhere else.

[Hopefully he won't freak out even when it does.]

Are you gonna be okay?

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah. I've got you, right, so it's not close to as scary as it could be.

[tsuntrader]

Hey.

[He pushes his own hair out of his face and tips her hat up so he's sure they can get complete eye contact.]

I'm not going anywhere. It's still a little crazy to think about, but...

[He's gonna be a dad. He pauses for a second to look to the side and really take it in before letting out a deep breath and looking back at Hilda with a smile.]

We're in this together. We can handle it.

[50shadesofprotag]

...Yeah. Yeah! I can handle it. I can handle anything!

[She decides not to bring up the fact that her family has a history of very difficult pregnancies. It's no guarantee that she will, right? After all, her great grandmother was healthy enough to have eight kids.]

And our kid is going to be the best. They're gonna crush the world under their foot!

[tsuntrader]

If we're talking about the world, we can take them to see it when they're old enough.

[They're... They're really going to be parents.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Well duh! I want this kid to have the best shot at being even more awesome than both of us combined. I want this kid to chase down legendaries and befriend them.
