It was 1:48 in the morning, and Ash was still awake. He had gone to bed about an hour ago but had been keeping himself awake due to the amount of thinking he had been doing. Pikachu had already fallen asleep but Ash's thoughts were preventing his eyelids from closing. What was he thinking about you ask? Simple, is was an event that occurred earlier in the night. When Tristan had called Serena "mommy".
Ash didn't know what made Tristan call her such a word. Of course she wasn't his real mother, so Tristan calling her that confused and shocked Ash, as well as Serena. What was the reasoning behind it? Ash thought it through. He reflected on the conversation he had with Tristan a few short hours ago.

"Tristan, what was the reason for calling Serena "mommy"? Explain that to me." Ash asked his son.
"She just seems like a mother to me." Tristan replied, but Ash wanted more of an answer.
"I'm going to need more Tristan."
Tristan took a deep breath. "It's just that she is always visiting us, wanting to see us and you, and she is really kind. It looks like she cares for us... and you as well daddy."
Ash took in all the information Tristan had told him. "That is true, buddy. But you can't just call any woman I know "mommy" just because she cares about all of us."
"But she is the only female friend of yours that visits. Plus, mom is never around to be with us, so it's kind of sad that we never see her that much."
Ash had to admit, Tristan was right. Serena really was the only female friend of his he saw on a constant basis. She would come over and visit at least four or five times a week, and she would divide her time between the kids and him when she was here. And Denise was only around the kids once a month at the most, so it was probably hard for them to live in this house without a mother figure.
"I have to admit Tristan, you have a point there." Ash responded.
