9 Months Later

Ryo laid back on the white hospital sheets with a groan. She was drenched in sweat and completely exhausted. And after 12 hours of labour, who could blame her?

"Miss Ikari," said one of the nurses, "you can hold your daughter now."

Ryo sat up again and the nurse handed her the baby wrapped up in a bundle of pink blankets.

Ryo smiled and at that moment she felt that all her pain had been worth it.

"She's adorable Ryo," cooed Ritsuko as she rocked her niece back and forth in her arms, "what are you going to call her?"

"Misaki," Ryo said with a smile.

"Nice name," her twin said smiling and when she looked back at Misaki she gasped.

"What's wrong?" Ryo said leaping off of the bed and running over to her sister.

"Look at her eye colour," Ritsuko said softly.

Ryo looked down at Misaki and stared in shock at her daughter's eyes. They weren't green like hers or her sister's but a brilliant blue.

"Take me home Sis," Ryo whispered.

Ryo put Misaki in her crib and covered her with a soft blanket.
She was glad to living once more in her old house.

"You're not going to tell him are you?" a voice said from behind her.

"I want to do this one my own," Ryo said, turning to see her sister. "It wouldn't be fair to put this on him now. He has a life of his own to lead."

"But you don't have to do this alone Ryo," Ritsuko said, "Trunks is a good man and he would make a great father for Misaki."

"I know, but that's my decision and I'm sticking to it."
