Chapter 1- The Ranma Saotome Family

Ranma's POV

I sat up and stretched my arms. My mouth felt dead and I could tell my breath was pretty bad too. Akane was still snoozing away right next to me. I got up and walked to the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush. I started scrubbing my teeth and tongue. My mouth felt much better.

As I head downstairs, I heard someone stirring in a bedroom. I walked back up to the source. I gently knocked on the door, walked in, and sat down on the bed. I flashed a smile at my groggy son. He had jet black hair with a developing pigtail, (just like his daddy) and big brown eyes like his mommy's.

"Morning Tatsuo! How'd you sleep?" I said, embracing his tiny 4 year old body.

"Morning Daddy! I slept fine. Where's mommy?" He replied, showing signs of his morning energy.

"She is still sleeping, Tatsu, so don't be too loud."

"Ok," he said in a hushed voice,"I won't wake up mommy."

I smiled and carried him down and let him watch me make breakfast. A few minutes later, Keiko, Tatsu's twin sister, walked down the stairs. She had long, beautiful red hair like Ranma's old girl half. (He had gotten rid of his curse before he and Akane got married after they graduated. They waited a couple years after to start the family.)

"Morning beautiful," I said as I flashed a smile. "Come give daddy a hug!" I said, stretching open my arms. She sat next to Tatsuo, and I continued making pancakes.

Akane's POV

I awoke from my slumber when I didn't feel the warmth of Ranma's body or his muscular arms around me. I checked the kids' rooms and they weren't there either. I shuffled down the stairs and kissed Ranma on the cheek.

"Morning sleepyhead." he said, grinning. " I'm making pancakes and bacon."

"Sounds good, Ranma!" I said plopping down in between my children. They immediately embraced me, and I kissed each of their foreheads.

After breakfast, Ranma and I took the kids shopping for a gift for Nodoka's birthday. The kids were excited to go, for they only have one grandmother. The happy memories I have of mom before she died brought tears to my eyes.

"Are you okay, Akane?" Ranma asked, noticing the tears.

"Ya, it's nothing." I said, wiping off the tears.

The kids picked out a beautiful kimono with cherry blossoms all over for Nodoka. After getting it bagged, we passed by Ucchan's Okonomiyaki, Ukyo Hibiki's restaurant. She made the best Okonomiyaki in Japan.

Ranma's POV

When we walked into Ucchan's restaurant, Ukyo was grabbing more octopus from the cabinets below the grill.

Without looking up, she said,"Welcome to Ucchan's Okonom... Ran-chan! Come on over here! Nice to see you guys again!" she greeted,"Hey, Tatsuo and Keiko, Hikaru and Aiko are upstairs. Do you want them to eat with you?" She said nodding towards the apartment upstairs.

Both of the kids nodded, and Ucchan called the two kids down. With them came their father, Ryoga. After high school, we had become better friends. Hikaru looked just like his father, but with Ukyo's brown hair and eyes. Unfortunately, he also inherited his lousy sense of direction. His younger sister Aiko was like her mother, but with Ryoga's eyes and black hair. Luckily, she had not inherited Ryoga's sense of direction, but Ukyo's cooking skills. Hikaru was 4 as well, and Aiko was 3.

I patted Ryoga on the back and he did the same. After I led him to Jusenkyo to reverse his curse of turning into a pig, he and I became friends. We both keep in shape, and have friendly competitions on who is stronger. On Saturdays, we spar. All of us still look like how we looked when we were 16 years old, with a touch of gray in our hair. Tatsuo and Hikaru arm wrestled and Keiko watched Aiko play with some dolls.

When I whipped out my wallet to pay for the okonomiyaki, Ukyo pushed my hand back saying, "No,no, Ran-chan, those were on the house."

I replied with, "Thanks Ucchan! You really don't have to! I'll pay."

She shook her head. "No, Ranma. Really. It's on me."

I gave in. After having to pull Tatsu and Keiko away from their best friends, we dragged them back home. On the way, we stopped by the Cat Cafe the restaurant that Shampoo, Mousse, and their daughter Happy live and own. Happy looked exactly like Shampoo, but with Mousse's long black hair and luckily, she inherited Shampoo's eyesight and not Mousse's.

As the Saotomes walked into the Cat Cafe, Happy greeted them at the front. The 4 year old immediately called for her mother and father. Shampoo rushed out.

"Aiya! Nihao, Ranma! Come eat noodles! Great-grandmother will prepare lots of noodles for Ranma!" she shouted as she ran to the back.

"Uh, Shampoo, we just came to say hi. We already ate." I replied, but she didn't listen.

Mousse ran after her to tell her not to make any, but he forgot his glasses and started shouting at Cologne. She shoved him aside and told him to put on his glasses. Shampoo came out with two big bowls of noodles.

"We already ate Shampoo. We just came to say hi." I explained again.

"Oh. Okay Ranma! Well, Shampoo have to go now. Zai jian." she said, running off to serve some customers.

Mousse said thanks as well for taking him and Shampoo to Jusenkyo too. Mousse turned into a goose and Shampoo turned into a cat. I was desperate to have Shampoo's curse reversed 'cause I am deathly afraid of cats.

As we walked through the sliding doors of our house, the kids went to play and left Akane and I alone in the living room. I gently kissed her and she returned the kiss. She nuzzled my neck with her head and we just sat there. Not talking, not moving. We just sat and thought. I thought of how I used to call her "uncute, flat-chested, and a tomboy." Boy, was I wrong. Back then, I had no idea I would start a family with her. I could have never called anything that has happened in the past decade.

I kissed her again and she snuggled closer. I wished this moment would never end.

I know, it's a bit cliche at the end. Just remember this is my first fanfic so, ya. I'm kinda busy, so don't expect the next chapter right away. Please review and make good comments. I am only a 13 year old who loves fanfics. Okay, thanks!
