Cologne looked at the wrecked corpse of her former son-in-law. The little redhead lay there, her distended stomach split widely open with what appeared to be frogspawn welling out of it.
"What happened here?" she asked the shaken girl standing next to the body.
Akane took a moment to wrestle with herself mentally before she told Cologne exactly what had happened. It was embarrassing to talk about!
"After the run in with the Dojo Destroyer, we were sweeping up the dojo when I found a packet of Instant Nannichuan. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't resist it!" said the nervous girl. "I picked it up and kept it. I just couldn't stop thinking of it!"
"Well, a few months later I told Ranma I had the packet. I really, really wanted to try it, and eventually, I managed to persuade him. He changed, I used the packet... and we did it... It was wonderful! Once was not enough, so we did it again and again. I managed to avoid hot water for four days!
"We knew something was wrong almost immediately, though. Ranma couldn't change back to a boy. She hadn't tried for those four days, but when she finally did try, she didn't take it very well. That wasn't the worst, though. About two weeks later we noticed Ranma's stomach starting to bulge.
"It was horrible. Every day it was larger, and it even seemed to grow as we watched. After a month, Ranma couldn't move any more, and a few days later, I was feeding her when there was an awful explosion and this happened. What went wrong?!"
Cologne sighed and moved back. "Akane," she said, "how much do you know about human biology? In particular, the reproductive parts?"
"What they told us in Sex Ed classes," Akane replied
"Well, you know, then, that boys have sperm and girls have eggs. A boy, however, has thousands if not millions of sperm, whereas a girl only has one egg at a time. When you change sexes with the curse eggs and sperm are changed into each other.
"When you became a boy, you only had one sperm after the change. But boys generate sperm rapidly and after two days in male form you had thousands. Son-in-law, however, had thousands of sperm when he became a girl, and as a result, she had thousands of eggs! When your sperm met her eggs the inevitable happened: a hugely multiple pregnancy.
The old woman and Akane fell silent, each alone with their thoughts, until Akane finally spoke up. "Is this what they mean by Baby Boom?"
Cologne whacked Akane over the head with her staff.
