Lisa Boyce

A hand reach out and take Ryoko's hand from the door knob, she spun around to look at the offender. "Hotsuma…" Ryoko to the tall blond man before her.

"I'm sorry…I can't let you do this. If you give up having the baby, your heart would be crushed before your body gives out. Not only is your health important to me, but your feelings are too. Let's raise this baby together." He held her shoulders.

"Hotsuma…" Ryoko was speechless, tears start to form in her eyes. She attempted to crack a smile but broke down. Hotsuma felt the atmosphere was influencing this mood, "Let's get out of here." He brought his arm around her shoulders and walked out the clinic.

In the meantime, Washu as trying to pry herself out of Hotsuma's toilet. "Stupid dimensional tunnel!" she grunted trying to get her foot out of the hole. With one more curse and pull, she was out. "Phew! Now where is that man?!" She burst open the door, in hopes of startling the blond Adonis, but she was welcomed with an empty living room. Washu pouted. Washu was about to creep into the piano room when all of a sudden keys rattled in the door, scaring her.

Hotsuma saw a figure, similar to a child's figure, he turned the light on. "Washu? What are you doing here?" He asked stepping to the side for Ryoko to come in. Once Washu caught site of her daughter, she transformed into her adult form, and came to her daughter with open arms. Hotsuma stared at the woman, "Why when I blink your someone different, how the hell do you do that?" His response came in a shove.

"Oh my baby, haven't seen you in a while. Take a seat my sweety. How are you feeling?

I bet everything is just peachy, isn't it? Everyone misses you at home. Hell I miss you more." Washu rambled causing Ryoko to look at her in a stranger manner. Washu stopped suddenly , "What's with the look?" Ryoko shake her head and sat back in the couch.

Hotsuma handed Washu red wine, and proceeded to sit beside Ryoko, when Washu reached over her daughter and planted her hand on Hotsuma's behind. "No you sit beside me." Ryoko looked at her mother questionably, "What's with the weird behavior?!" Washu laughed then became serious, before she could answer; Ryoko snapped. "Look before you reprimand me for going ahead with the pregnancy, you don't have to worry about its Hotsuma's and I decision. I know I can survive my term and the birth. Trust me, I know I can do this and I'll be fine. I swear!" Ryoko placed her hand on her mother's knee. Hotsuma look on in curiosity between the mother and daughter.

Washu was silent for a long time, she stared at her daughter's hand on her knee. She turned to Hotsuma, "Is this so? You think she is strong enough to go along with this pregnancy?"

Hotsuma looked to her then to Ryoko, and then to his glass of the scarce remains of the red wine. "Yes, I do. I've forgotten Ryoko's strength, she is a fighter. I , too was worried about her carrying the baby, but we have to consider that this is a human being."

Washu began to tear up, "Ryoko, this is hard for me. You said you don't want me to worry or be said, but we all know that is just talk. You always making me, Hotsuma and others around you worry for you. It's only natural I won't last!" Washu break down, she covered her face with her hands, Hotsuma put his arm around her and rubbed her right arm. She raised her head again, with anger in her eyes "Enough already! Do as you wish! I won't easily cry for you anymore, today is the last day I ever cry for you….the last time! From now on, stop doing things that will make me cry…" She said as she got up and walked to the window, backing the two. "…This is the last time, I'll cry for you." Washu began to weep. Ryoko cried at her mother's words the whole time, Hotsuma felt guilty as he sat there, looking at the two. "Mother!" Ryoko got up and ran to her mother, she held her weeping mother in her arms. "Mom…" Washu held her tighter. Hotsuma walked over to the two, he held both of them. Washu looked at him, then smile, and put her arm around his waist. He planted a kiss on her forehead and did the same with Ryoko.

The trio parted and stood staring at each other…well at least the mother and daughter. "My baby…My baby, is having a baby." She gave her daughter a hug, smiling ear to ear but once she got back into her daughter's view, she frowned. "What's wrong, Mom?" Ryoko held her mother's hands. "Tenchi…you haven't told him." Hotsuma looked to Ryoko, "That's another hurdle…"he said as he sat back down on the couch. Ryoko ran her hand through her hair, "What have I gotten myself into?" Hotsuma and Washu exchange glances, "If it helps, do you want me and Hotsuma to be there?" Ryoko nodded.
