ÒCareful Misty!Ó Dan exclaimed as he walked a few feet behind Misty while she walked ahead in the snow. ÒDonÕt want you to slip now do we?Ó

ÒI wonÕt Dan! Me and AmyÕll be all right!Ó Misty smiled indicating to her overlarge stomach.

Misty trudged along the snowy hill, almost as if nothing. At seven months, her pregnancy had not stopped her happy walks she and Dan always had. Through sleet of now, rain, or shine, she and Dan would always walk through Central Park for an hour or so.

Dan walked behind her like always, making sure that if she fell back, he would catch her. They walked all the way to the top where they sat down and drank a bit of the warmed milk they had brought. Sighing in contentment, they wrapped each otherÕs arms around each other and sat quietly.

Misty yawned and she smiled as she remembered the day she found out she was pregnant. It had been the day of the Tournament according to Dan and Sharon had won. However, Misty didnÕt quite recall who Sharon had battled againstÉ Was it AngeloÉ? All she remembered were those chocolate brown eyesÉ And nothing moreÉ

Dan watched Misty as she thought in silence. She looked beautifulÉ Especially in the state she wasÉ He loved herÉ And the day he found out she was carrying his baby, he couldnÕt bear the thought of telling her that Ash had taken her to the hospital and had been with her before she faintedÉ

That was why he told the rest not to tell herÉ Dan grinned as he remembered how he had punched Ash once they had been aloneÉ He had deserved it after allÉ Ash had said she might have gotten the flu or maybe she had gotten and STD. Shaking his head, he turned his thoughts towards MistyÕs and SharonÕs birthday party which would be today.

Misty sighed tiredly as she finished her milk. Standing up she pulled Dan with her towards the empty fountain at the bottom of the hill and Dan sat on the ledge, talking happily. Standing up she asked, ÒSo whatÕs my birthday present this year?Ó

ÒYouÕll see.Ó Dan grinned holding her hands as she kissed him lightly. ÒItÕs a surpriseÉ From both me and Damien to Sharon and youÉÓ

ÒWhy?Ó Misty asked wondering. ÒIs it something about our pregnancy?Ó

ÒSomething like thatÉÓ Dan muttered with a smile.

******

ÒDonÕt you just love New York in the winter Ash?Ó May asked sweetly, leaning her head on his shoulder.

ÒYeah all snow and stuffÉÓ Ash muttered.

ÒAsh, are you all right?Ó

ÒYeahÉ IÕm just tired is allÉÓ

May frowned at AshÕs surly tone. Smiling she looked at the hill of snow a few feet ahead of them.

ÒCÕmon letÕs go over to that hill. It must have a nice view!Ó

ÒFineÉÓ

******

Misty closed her eyes lightly as new snow began to fall. The flakes tickled her cheeks. Smiling Misty leaned her head on DanÕs shoulder gently. Dan responded by wrapping his arms around her. Smiling widely she patted her stomach with tender care.

ÒSo AmyÉ when do you plan to come to your new homeÉ?ÓMisty asked. ÒIn late January or early FebruaryÉ?Ó

ÒI really canÕt wait for our little girlÉÓ Dan smiled as he bent to kiss MistyÕs belly.

ÒNeither can I.Ó Misty smiled back.

Misty raised his head to hers and kissed him passionately, showing all the love and care she still felt for him after all these yearsÉ

ÒMisty? Dan?Ó a voice asked.

Misty and Dan looked up, surprised at who was standing before them.

ÒMay? AshÉ?Ó Misty asked uncertainly.
