Not Our Baby (Part 1)
By: Rocket Jessie Musashi
Disclaimer: Yeah!  I WISH that I owned them.  Then we could all see 
them fall in love like thy're SUPPOSED to be doing! :)
Rating: PG? Anyway, it mentions Jessie's water breaking ... It's 
Harmless ... really!
Editor's note:  This is part 1 of a series that I am working on.  I 
will try to crank one part out every week.  It simply follows the life of Jessie and James after the birth of their daughter, "Rose."  I am a serious Rocketshipper. So be warned: there will be a lot of romance, and stuff.  There will be some flashbacks on Jessie and James behalf, but the series mainly follows the life of their precious daughter and all of the drama that one would expect her to face- being their daughter, that is.

Enjoy . . .
 
James was awakened by a rough shove early that morning.  He rolled 
over, 
miserable, and slowly opened his eyes.
    "What is it?" he mumbled.
    Jessie gazed desperately at him through the darkness.  "It's the 
baby," 
she said.  "I think it's coming."
    The blue-haired man jumped out of bed at this.  "The BABY!?" he 
cried.  
"Oh no!"
    He frantically began pulling on his jeans.  "Did your water all 
ready 
break?" he asked.  She nodded.
    "Why didn't you wake me up then?" he asked.
    "I tried to!" she protested.  "But you wouldn't."
    He buckled his belt and turned to face her.  "Are you okay?" he 
asked.
    "As much as a woman in labor can be."
    He smiled and gently kissed her lips.  "I love you," he whispered.
    "I love you, too."
    He lifted her into his arms now.  "Are you ready to have our baby?"
    "Do I have a choice?"  He laughed in response and headed toward the 
door, 
Jessie clinging tightly and nervously to his shoulders.
 
    Four hours of labor brought them their first little girl.  Her eyes 
were 
as green as her daddy's' and her hair was as crimson as her mommy's.  
They 
named her Rose.
    It was now that Jessie realized just how worthwhile her pregnancy 
had 
been as she cradled her baby in her arms.  She had spent her first two 
hours 
with the little girl weeping joyfully.  James had thought this strange, 
and 
was trying to comfort her now.
    "Jess?" he asked softly.  "Are you okay?"
    She wiped her eyes dry and continued to gaze lovingly at Rose.  "I 
just 
can't believe that we made this beautiful little girl, James . . ."
    "Well. . . why not?"  He sat next to her and began to stroke her hair.
    "I never figured that the two of us would come to this. . . as bad as 
we were, 
I mean. . ."
    He ran his fingers through her hair a moment longer.  "None of that 
matters now, Jess," he said.  "Everything's changed now.  We have our 
own 
baby girl . . . our new life . . . together . . ."
    She looked up at him now, her eyes serious.  "Swear this to me," 
she 
demanded.
    He shrugged. "Name it."
    Her face remained serious.  "Swear to me that our daughter will 
never 
walk in our footsteps.  She can never even know about Team Rocket!"
    "He gazed deeply into her sapphire-blue eyes.  "Jessica . . . I swear 
to you: 
our daughter will never know a thing about our past.  Or Team Rocket."
    They both looked down at their baby again, tears swelling again in 
Jessie's eyes.  "Our little Rose . . ." she sighed.  "I wonder what you 
future 
holds . . ."
