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?

[...Hey.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[50shadesofprotag]

I've saved your life like... twice? Three times, if you count that point where you probably would have been fine. And then I've saved your butt a dozen more times than that?

[tsuntrader]

[PRIDE

PRIDE

PRIDE...]

[tsuntrader]

[Nope just keeping quiet and massaging Hilda it wasn't a dozen times and he would have been okay anyway alright]

[50shadesofprotag]

You're not allowed to die or get yourself in that much trouble, alright? You've got to make sure this little guy doesn't get into trouble first.

[tsuntrader]

Yeah. I'm not just responsible for myself anymore, so I've gotta be careful.

[50shadesofprotag]

So... which would you rather have? A boy or a girl?

[tsuntrader]

...Doesn't make a difference to me.

[50shadesofprotag]

None at all? Not even a teeeensy little bit?

My guess, you'd rather have a girl. You're so comfortable around girls, and all, I think you'd get annoyed with a really rambunctious boy.

[tsuntrader]

[...Headshake.]

Boy, girl, or Magnemite, it won't make a difference to me. I'll love them the same. I already do.

[Sure is a sappyfest in here.]

[tsuntrader]

...If it's a girl, I'm gonna have a hard time approving of any of her boyfriends. [He did the same thing with his big sister, he'll do the same thing with his little sister, and he'll do it with his kid. Grr boys grr...]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah? And what if we have a little boy that likes to heckle girls? And are you going to be that way with a son and his girlfriends?

[tsuntrader]

...

I'll be overprotective of his choice in girls, too. [And he can. Teach him. Because that's what parents do.

But he'll teach a little girl too.




He's not in this alone. He's not in this alone. He's-]

[50shadesofprotag]

Heheh. Guess I'll have to be the fun parent, then.

[Hilda just goes back to relaxing, rubbing her belly in circles and feeling the baby move. Always such a fussy baby, it felt like it was kicking all sides all the time...]

I wouldn't be surprised if our kid is good at kicking or punching.

[tsuntrader]

[Hey, he'll be fun!

...Just not when it comes to relationships that part's gonna be hard okay-]

I just hope they don't get into too many fights.

[50shadesofprotag]

They are our kid, after all...

[tsuntrader]

I wonder if they'll find a rival that can actually keep up with him. [And it's okay to pick fights with your rival okay that was some of the best stress relief of his life-]

[50shadesofprotag]

I hope so. My life before you was so unchallenging. It was just endless curbstomping of every hooded weirdo I could get my hands on, and making my friends disappointed when they couldn't even remotely stand up to me.

[tsuntrader]

It's not just that, either. You can learn a lot from a rival that keeps up with you. Both of you grow for the better.

[...He misses Gold. He misses Gold a lot.]

[50shadesofprotag]

Yeah. Let's hope that maybe Rosa's kid can keep up.

[tsuntrader]

Maybe. [...] What should their first Pokémon be?

[50shadesofprotag]

Something special... but let them pick. We'll get one for them. My mom made me wait, but you grew up with your weavile. I want them to have something like that.

[tsuntrader]

I do too, but...

I didn't pick Weavile. I think I was two when I got him. Maybe younger.

Is that too early? [...] I think most of my friends got their first Pokémon when they were five, and they'd have the chance to pick then. [Is that better? Help him out here.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Yaaaaawn!]

Yeah... that sounds right! If they make a move to pick a Pokémon before then, then let them have it, if the chemistry's right.

[tsuntrader]

[...]

...I want the house to be filled with a handful of loving and nurturing Pokémon all the time. Pokémon that they can grow up with, even if they're not theirs. Pokémon that can go with them if they want to explore nearby or go for a walk or into Nacrene for something.

Maybe a Wigglytuff. It could help Sing them to sleep, too. And a Sunflora or Bellossom.

[He's finished massaging her back, so he moves to put a hand on her stomach. They'll... They'll have the childhood he never had. The one he wanted. He wants to make sure of that.

But he wants Hilda to have what she wants, too. They're just as much her kids as they are his.]
