The next weeks went by very quickly, the days blurred together, with Pikachu taking care of the cubs as usual, as he shared his life with his beloved Raichu mate.

Soon, a very special day came! They couldn't believe it when it was time for Eevee's 1st birthday party!

They were both excited as Eevee would discover what a birthday party was like. Both Raichu and Pikachu knew that, being a stray cub, Eevee didn't had an exact birthday to celebrate, so they decided to place the celebration between Raichu's and his.

Pikachu woke up knowing that today would be a great day, and prepared to greet Eevee when he woke up. As Pikachu exited his room, he saw that Raichu had also just woken up. "Good morning hon. Do you remember that today we are going to celebrate Eevee's birthday?" asked Pikachu with his charming smile.

"Of course! I want him to have fun" replied Raichu, giving her lover a warm hug. "He deserves it, as he's a great Pokémon... I made sure he is getting the best gifts he can wish for!" she added.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, Raichu" said Pikachu, giving her a small kiss on the forehead.

"You're welcome, Pikachu. It's the least I can do for him as he loves us too much... and the same applies to the love I have for you" whispered Raichu as she gave Pikachu another love filled kiss.

They both began to head to the main hall, and greeted him as soon as he walked in.

"Eevee, do you know what a birthday is?" asked Raichu

"Um... no, I don't" responded Eevee. "Maybe you can explain it to him" replied Raichu.

"Is it good?" asked Eevee as she was curious.

"Well, it is a chance to celebrate a person's birth by throwing a party, and everybody eats cake and you get presents!" explained Pikachu.

"Really?" said Eevee, smiling. "Yes, and we have presents for you too, Eevee!" said Raichu.

"YEEEESS!! A PARTY!!!!" he said as he started to barrel roll as he kept celebrating.

"We got you a good one, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the afternoon!" said Raichu.

Eevee seemed to understand, as he went to get out his favorite toy, which was a rubber ball, and started to spin it.

"Look how happy he is, Pikachu" said Raichu as she gave her mate a warm hug.

"That's the way to celebrate!" added Pikachu.

Pikachu and Raichu left to go to the monthly staff reunion, as Eevee was still playing in the playground.

As they got to the meeting area, only Pidgeot, Espeon and Sceptile were there.

But as they were just sitting there, Ms. Millers came in.

"Hello! Good to see you!" she said with a smile. "I've decided to separate different staff by groups, so it's easier to manage. You all take care for the cubs in different ways. Sceptile, you are the Battle Instructor. Your work is perfectly done, as the cubs are undoubtedly successful, and most of them have received very high marks in battling abilities. Congratulations".

"Thank you, Ms. Millers" said Sceptile, as he was proudly showing off the badges he got.

"Well, next one is Pidgeot. You are the assistant. Your work is done very well, too. Working with he cubs is a bliss when you lend us a wing. Thank you!" she finished as Pidgeot smiled.

"Next is Espeon, the Psychologist. Your work is really important when it comes to helping the cubs whenever they need it. You also know how to handle them in various ways, and are also very good at solving problems. Well done, I'm confident you are an excellent Psychologist."

"Thank you, Ms. Millers" said Espeon, who was smiling, as she was proud of the cubs.

"And, in last place, Pikachu and Raichu, who are the Free Time Supervisors. Your work is to ensure that the cubs get along with each other. It's a really important duty, as if the cubs don't get along, they may end up getting depressed and isolated. Well done, and I trust that you've done a lot to get them together and stay united".

"Thank you, Ms. Millers" replied Raichu as she was proud of the cubs as well.

Once the reunion finished without more important details, Pikachu went back to the playground again, to check out on Eevee, while Raichu went to Pikachu's room to set everything up.

As he was walking, they saw a group of cubs playing tag in the playground, Eevee among them.

"Oh, you're back" he said with a smile. "How was the reunion?"

"It was great, Eevee!" replied Pikachu. "But how do you feel?"

"I'm very happy! I'm getting a party! and presents! and cookies and games and cake and waah! I can't believe I'm going to get so many things today!!" he said with excitement, as he was bouncing up and down, almost trying to fly.

Pikachu smiled "It's time to get going to my room, ok? Raichu is waiting you there, come on!"

Eevee nodded and followed Pikachu after saying goodbye to the other cubs.

"Yeah, let's go!"

They went to Pikachu's room, where Raichu closed the door and the three Pokémon were left alone.

"Alright, Eevee. I want you to close your eyes! Just don't peek, ok?" said Pikachu, as he was putting a cloth over the cub's eyes.

As soon as Eevee closed her eyes, Raichu came back with a big envelope.

"Alright, Eevee. Here is your present! Open it carefully!" said Raichu, as Eevee opened the envelope the best he could, having in count he only could scratch it.

Once he opened it, he became very surprised. "It's a Giga Petite Matronix!" he shouted with joy.

"Do you like it! I was lucky enough to get the purple one!" said Raichu, happily.

"Yea! It's great! Thank you! I'm so happy! You're my best friends!" he said, as they hugged each other.

"Well, well, Eevee! I love to see you happy!" said Pikachu, as he walked to Eevee. "But there's more coming up!" he said as he told Eevee to cover his eyes again.

As soon as Raichu saw him closing his eyes, she went to her room to search for the chocolate cake!

"Now's the time, Eevee!" said Pikachu, after Raichu brought the cake. "Open your eyes!"

Eevee opened his eyes and he screamed with joy! "It's the chocolate cake, my favourite! Thank you both!" he said, as he took a big bite out of the cake.

"He couldn't wait anymore!" said Pikachu as he saw Raichu approach him. "Pikachu, do you like to see Eevee happy?" she said in a tender tone.

"Always!" replied Pikachu. "But there's still more coming up Eevee!" he said, as he took a small toy crown and put it on his head. "You are the king today!" he joyfully chanted.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" replied Eevee. "I'm shocked! I have a crown!"

Pikachu just laughed, as he was laying on the nest, enjoying Eevee's fun. Once he ate the whole cake himself (He seems to be a very hungry cub) he said "I'm the king!" as he hugged Raichu first, then Pikachu, and then they all hugged each other.

They were finally complete and ready to get off to bed. Once Eevee left, Pikachu went to his nest, and Raichu followed him. Soon, the two were snuggling together.

The two kept hugging and kissing for minutes, remembering the sweet moments they had together.

Their snuggling continued, as Raichu kept lovingly licking Pikachu's cheek as he laid on his back, looking up at the ceiling with a big smile on his face.

"... aww, he looks so cute like that," thought Raichu, as Pikachu laid on his back with a smile on his face, seeing his mate sharing her love and affection.

Raichu then smiled as she talked to Pikachu "Pikachu... I would really love to know what you feel when you see a cub having fun" she said, in a sweet tone.

Pikachu just smiled as he closed his eyes, enjoying her sweet words.

The two of them snuggled like this for a while, before Pikachu spoke "Well, there's nothing like watching a youngster enjoy itself!" he said as he held her, as they kept cuddling. Raichu caressed his arm as she spoke again "But I want you to explain why do you enjoy it so much.." she insisted.

"Well, I don't know how to express it... But I'll try" he said, not knowing where to start. "When you see a cub having fun... The feelings inside my heart flames up... You want to share that joy with that cub" he said, as she nodded. "I feel so happy to be able to make them feel the way I would have loved to feel when I was myself a little Pichu... I never had my parents' love...I know you understand it... I never had the right support..." he said as a single tear flowed down his cheek.

Raichu hugged him tightly and kissed him passionately for quite a long time, until he stopped crying. She then looked at him with a smile on her face "Do you still feel unattended?" she asked.

"I can't change the past... but I can at least try to make Eevee feel loved, so he never experiments the loneliness I suffered. I can't change his past... but I can at least make a difference in his future" he said, as he sat up.

"Well, I think we're ready to call it a night" he said as he took her paw in his as he prepared to sleep but Raichu gently stroked his fur. "You still haven't answered me the last question" she insisted.

"All right, what do you want to know?" he asked, as he took her paw.

"Do you still feel so powerless?... And still feeling lonely?... Do you still feel like an outcast?" she asked, in a tone that showed that she wasn't asking in a whining way.

Pikachu looked at her "Yeah, sometimes, I really do" he said, with a soft voice. "But I have you and Eevee, and that's all that matters."

"Pikachu... I am your mate, for life... I want to help you overcome these feelings of your past. I can't stand being without you, and I know you feel the same... Love is what you need the most. We will be together, in the good and bad times. We can make a difference in each others' lives. That's what true love is..." she said, with a happy tone.

Pikachu nodded "I understand... Thanks" he said as he caressed her fur, gazing deeply into her eyes. "I love you" he whispered, as he kissed her gently on the cheek. "And I love you, too" he added, as she caressed his paw.

She caressed his fur again, before asking another heartfelt question "Pikachu... Please, can I ask you another question?"

"Of course" he replied.

"What do you feel when..." she said as she starting blushing, but her voice didn't lose its soft tone. "We see happy families with young Pokémon, with two perfect parents in love with each other? Do you feel lonely, like an unfortunate pokémon, knowing that you will never have a mother or a father to share your life with?" she asked.

Pikachu gently placed a paw on her cheek and said "I know you feel sad about me... but... It's not your fault... Don't bash yourself for something that can't be changed."

Raichu kissed him once again "I know I already asked this question before, but let me repeat it from a different point of view. Is there anything in the world that can make you feel happy and complete?" she asked, and he thought for a moment before replying.

"Hmm... I don't think there's anything that can change my thoughts... But don't worry. I've got you, and even though my past will never change, you can make our future better" he replied as he placed his paw on her cheek.

"It will be better, Pikachu" she assured him as she continued to caress his fur. "What would you do, if it was your turn to enjoy a happy family life?" she asked him in a soft tone, her eyes starting to tear up. "Would you be able to leave behind your past?" she asked.

"I don't know what do you mean... But I won't leave you. We will be together forever, I promise" he replied, as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you, Pikachu" she said, as she put her paw on his as she continued to cry. "Raichu, you don't need to cry... I'm very happy now that I have you by my side!" he said, feeling guilty for making her cry. But then, he was shocked as Raichu held him tightly, making him stare at her at eye-to eye level.

"Pikachu, I know how much you love me, and I don't want you to be sad anymore. It's your time to be happy and live a happy life once at all". She said as she started to cry harder and shake a bit. "There's something very important you need to know".

Pikachu stared at her in silence as she continued to cry, while he pondered on what she meant. He decided to let her talk, patting her on her shoulder as if to say her to be strong.

Then, she stared deeply into his eyes, feeling his loving embrace around her, and his heart beating in sync with hers. She finally felt the strength she needed to tell Pikachu what he needed to know. "Pikachu... It's time to leave our sad past behind and to enjoy a happy future together. For me, for us, the time has come" she said, a small smile appeared on her face as she was about to finished her speech.

"Pikachu... I'm pregnant".

Pikachu looked at her with shock and awe at her revelation. He couldn't believe that it was happening! This was what he had wanted ever since he left his family behind. He just looked at her with pure joy, which made her cry even more.

"We are going to be parents!" she said between sobs hugging him tighter "We are going to have a litter!".

He couldn't believe it. It finally happened. They were going to bring a litter of baby Pichu into the world together. Finally, they kissed passionately as long as they could. "I love you Raichu. You will be the best mother in the world!" he reassured her.

They kept hugging each other, as Pikachu slid his paw to touch Raichu's already slightly inflated belly. Raichu wrapped her arms around Pikachu and held him close, before leaning forward and giving him another kiss. She then spoke once again "And you'll be the best daddy in the world" she said with the same big grin as before. He could tell by the look on her face that she loved the idea and would enjoy raising a bunch of baby Pichu.

And just like this, the now expecting couple closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep, a new wonderful future in front of them to look forward to.
