Mara sat in her bedroom on her bed with her knees up to her chest sobbing when Ranma knocks on the door.
"Go away." Mara said.
"Look Mara, I'm coming in whether you like it or not." Ranma said just before he walked through the door with his hands in his pockets.
"I said go away!" Mara growled at him as he walked towards her.
"Look Mara, this is me that you're talking to." Ranma said to Mara as he put a hand on her shoulder and sat next to her before putting his arm around her shoulder.
"I… I want to have a child." Mara said to Ranma as she broke down into tears.
"Are you sure?" Ranma asked and Mara nodded back "I was talking to Setsuna last night and she mentioned something like this." He finished.
"Which one's Setsuna again?" Mara asked.
"The one with emerald green hair." Ranma replied as he comforted her before he wiped away her tears and she buried her face in his chest and started to sob away as he continued to comfort her "no offence Mara, but I'm not ready for children at least not yet." He told her.
"I… I understand Ranma." Mara said.
" I do want some children eventually, mother wants some grandchildren to spoil." Ranma said making Mara look at him "that a promise?" she asked.
"Come on Mara, you know me better than most people will ever do." He told her making her giggle and Ranma smile slightly before he lightly kissed her head when he load over to the windowsill and saw mini Urd holding something making Ranma shake his head before mini Urd vanished.
"What's going on between those two?" Nabiki asked.
"They're just talking." Urd said as she noticed Sakura watching cartoons.
"You know for a demon she sure likes her cartoons." Nabiki said.
"Yeah." Urd replied.
Back to Ranma and Mara.
Ranma and Mara lay on the bed holding each other talking about things when Mara kissed Ranma who returned the kiss before Mara pulled away and looked at him with pleading eyes making Ranma smile.
"Please Ranma." Mara said.
"Mara I need you to make a promise." Ranma said.
"Why?" Mara replied.
"If something serious were to happen to me, I want you to take care of everyone." Ranma told her before kissing her again before taking each other's clothes off before getting down to business.
Several hours later
Urd had her ear to the door where Ranma and Mara were and started to grin like the cat ate the canary.
"What's going on between those two?" Nabiki asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Urd replied making Nabiki blush.
"You mean they're…" Nabiki said.
"Going at it like rabbits, who knows maybe I could become auntie Urd." Urd told Nabiki.
Nabiki was now slightly scared at what Urd said about becoming an aunt and went back to what she was doing while Urd kept on listening to Mara and Ranma's business in the bedroom.
"If only I could sort my own love life out." Urd said to herself.
At the Outers apartment
Setsuna and Hotaru sit on the bed in the latter's room talking about things when Setsuna puts her hands to her stomach.
"Do you think?" Hotaru asked.
"I don't know." Setsuna replied.
"If you are, are going to tell him?" Hotaru asked.
"Of course I am, even though this will change the outcome of the future." Setsuna replied.
"Maybe Ranma's right, maybe we don't need Crystal Tokyo." Hotaru said making Setsuna look at her.
"Maybe he is." Setsuna replied before she smiled.
Back at Ranma's apartment
Ranma and Mara lay on the bed asleep, naked holding each other; Mara had a smile on her face as the slept together when Urd opened the door and looked at the two lover sleeping before she left the room and closed the door behind her.
"How are they?" Nabiki asked.
"Asleep." Urd replied before going into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of sake in one hand and two glasses in her other hand.
"What's the extra glass for?" Nabiki asked.
"You, from here on in it's either going to get better or worse." Urd said as she handed the other glass to Nabiki before sitting down next to Nabiki and put her glass down and opened the sake bottle and started to pour the sake into Nabiki's glass before pouring sake into her glass.
Back in the bedroom
Mara woke up and looked at Ranma as he slept and lightly kissed his forehead before she lay back down again and closed her eyes.
Elsewhere
Tux boy and Rei were looking at the NWC website and got the address of a certain restaurant and both agreed to visit the restaurant and tell them were Ranma is for revenge against Ranma.
Nerima
Ukyo had just closed up shop when she received a phone call.
"Konatsu, can you get that?" Ukyo shouted and the cross-dressing ninja answers the phone.
"Someone for you." Konatsu replied.
"Tell them we're closed." Ukyo replied.
"I did, they want to talk to you." Konatsu shouted back making Ukyo answer the call.
"Yes… I see… thank you." She said before she put the phone down.
"What was that about?" Konatsu asked.
"Someone knows where Ran-Chan is." Ukyo replied happily and went to get her battle spatula.
Back in Juuban
Ranma woke up and put a bed cover over Mara and got dressed and left the room.
"So, what did you and Mara talk about?" Urd asked.
"You know what we were doing Urd." Ranma replied.
"I wonder what mother would think of your love life?" Urd asked.
"Mother does want some grandchildren to spoil." Ranma said.
"Why?" Urd asked making Ranma shrug his shoulders.
"No idea why?" Ranma replied as he sat down.
