Disclaimer: I don't own anyone in this story except for the few people I made up (well, duh!!!) The people that are mine include Achika (a different one) and Clyde (who you'll meet later) and Tessae (guy) and that's all for now, I'll tell you when I add new characters....

A.N.- Well, I know that the beginning is kind of corny... but I'll be fixing it (my favorite thing to do and something I'm truly good at: wording things funny!!!) I will be fixing things every once and a while so, if you want, come back!!! There's nothing much more to say, I guess, but this is my first fic ^_^!!! Any comments and suggestions are welcomed....

Intro

"Hey, Washu" Tenchi said. "How's she doing?"

"She'll be just fine… By the way, congratulations, you now have a daughter"

"What?!"

"You know just as well as I do that Ryoko was going to have her baby eventually, right?"

"Y-yeah. But, but-"

"So soon? Yeah, I know. I think they'll both be all right. However you might want to stay away from Ryoko- she's, well how do I put it nicely, bitchy?! But what would you expect after giving birth?" Washu pauses and looks at him. Thinking to herself ' I wonder what is going through his head.' She decided to do something. "You can go in if you want. I'll make the public announcements, if you would like me to"

"Thanks Washu"

"The Empress, Ryoko, is just fine."

"Ms. Washu," a reporter called.

"Yes?"

"What exactly happened to Empress Ryoko anyway?"

"What happened to her?! She went into labor! That's what happened to her."

"Um- Ms. Washu. What is the baby? A boy?...a girl? What?"

"It would be a girl."

"A girl?"

"That would be correct."

"Excuse me, Ms. Washu" another reporter shouted as he tried to get in the last comments of the evening.

"Sorry that will be all the questions for today. We'll keep you informed and enlighten you with more details tomorrow." Washu said teasingly.

"Honey- Ryoko?" Tenchi waited. "Are you asleep?" Thinking to himself, you're so weird Tenchi, gosh, if she is asleep how is she going to answer you? Huh? I better just leave.

So he walked to the door. Just before he left, he heard a little voice "Tenchi? Are you still there?"

"Yes, Honey, I am. Do you need anything? Is there anything I can get for you? How about-"

"There you go again acting like some big hero and like you're all tough. But I know you, Tenchi, you're not really as tough as you take your self to be," Ryoko was still weak and her voice, strained.

"And there you go again, Little Ms. I-Know-It-All"

"I love you Tenchi."

"I know you do." Tenchi said playfully.

"Mmm-hmm." Ryoko said in return to his joke.

"I hate to disturb your play-talk session, but you need to pick a name for the baby" Washu interrupted.

"Gee- I haven't even given any thought to that. Umm-"

"I know. Mom, I want to name her Achika"

Tenchi and Washu looked at her with amazement and pride. She sure had 'grown up' Washu and Tenchi thought.

"That way," Ryoko went on to say, "that way we will have an Achika of our very own and we will never forget the Achika we once had, right mom?"

"Mmm-hmm. What do you think Tenchi?"

"Well… um… sure why not. Achika-sama it is!"
