Last chapter, I didn't intend to write it like this at all, it's like it wrote itself but I think it it's funny. Hope you enjoyed this romp, Sid.

NABIKI

Nabiki found herself smirking like she hadn't in years and looked forward to her encounter with Tatewaki, she knew he was going to stride in like he always did and try to take charge of the situation by being his usual overbearing self. However he wasn't going to find some confused pregnant woman like he thought he was rescuing, he was going to meet the Ice Queen who had used his weakness against him before and would do so again. She waited until her friends woke up. She had her own appointed home in the village but had opted to stay with Shampoo and Mousse for the most part as she enjoyed their company and her Mandarin wasn't the best. She started making tea when she heard voices coming from their bedroom and they joined her.

"Were you up all night long, Nabiki. You know that that is bad for your baby" Shampoo chided her.

"I'll take a nap later. However, I'm wondering if you still have that maternity lingerie?" she asked her.

"Oh have you finally decided to take me up on my offer of Mousse? It's about time, your pregnancy hormones must be driving you over the edge."

"I would be honoured to serve you in place of your intended" Mousse assured her.

Nabiki grinned at them, "I thank you for your kind offers and although Mousse is very tempting, I can't ask either of you to break your marriage vows. Let's just say that a certain man coming for a visit" she said.

"Kuno?" Shampoo asked her.

"He discovered the letters that Kodachi was concealing from him and is probably winging down here on his private jet as we speak" Nabiki gleefully said.

"How do you feel about that?" Mousse asked her.

"Let him come. Let's say I have a surprise for him" Nabiki said and outlined her plan.

"But that's not a rule, in fact, traditionally men and women are not even supposed to be alone together without a chaperone before marriage" Mousse objected.

"He doesn't know that" Nabiki said. "Think we can convince the Cologne and the rest of the council to go along with it?"

"Well they do have a good sense of humour" Shampoo said with a frown. "I'll ask them."

"I wouldn't want to make you mad" observed Mousse.

"No I'm not a nice person when I'm mad at someone. Besides, it's mainly a joke at his expense" she assured him.

"Yes public humiliation is a great way to start a marriage" Mousse pointed out.

"I'm not shy" she said Mousse just smiled at her and went to go attend to his daughter.

TATEWAKI

Tatewaki felt more confident and looked forward to seeing Nabiki...the mother of his child, he reminded himself. He didn't know what approach to take though, as he didn't know if she would be happy to see him or not. However, he knew he was doing the right thing by taking matters into him own hands and going to collect her. He knew she would probably put up a fight as Nabiki had always been obstinate, but in the end, he would convince her it was time to come home so they could marry before their child was born.

He found himself curious about the village, Joketsuzoku and the Amazon society where Nabiki had been living, he only knew about it from what he had been told by Mousse, Shampoo and Cologne. He certainly couldn't imagine himself enjoying belonging to a female dominated society, it went against every principle had he had been raised with. But to each their own.

He also had been glad to hear that Nabiki hadn't been alone, Mousse and Shampoo weren't close friend to Tatewaki or anything but they were friendly enough and he did like Mousse. Though Tatewaki did have to blush at the memory of how he had found out the hard way that Mousse and Shampoo had been sleeping together through a strange encounter when everyone had been camping out.

He had been asleep in his tent when suddenly a tongue was shoved down his throat and male hands explored him in places he would have never encouraged them to be. He had been about to send the other man flying back to China via his right cross when Mousse realized the lack of female anatomy present on his supposed sexual partner and quickly explained what had happened. Tatewaki had sent him off with directions to her tent and told him to wear his glasses the next time.

AT JOKETSUZOKU

Tatewaki was really quite surprised when he was met by escorts at the airport itself and the two brawny women indicated to him in horrible Japanese that he was to come with them.

He was further surprised how modern the village appeared with its paved street and, modern looking homes and stores. He had assumed that they all lived in huts and cooked food over a fire. Though he did have to wonder as to the purpose of the huge log suspended in the town square. However he was led past there by his "body guards" to what appeared to be some sort of a community center. He wasn't all surprised to find Cologne sitting on some sort of throne, surrounded by a group of slightly younger women, in fact there appeared to be every woman in the village in there...and Mousse. "Nabiki" he cried at the sight of her standing in a circle of woman, he tried to go to her to hug her but was forced back by them.

"Nabiki, what's going on here?" he asked her in confusion and then blushed when she seemed to be wearing nothing more than some sheer short see-through nightie and panties and her long red hair had been arranged into a hairstyle similar to Shampoo's.

"As I am now an Amazon; I am bound by their laws" she explained to him.

"Sorry Kuno, you have to earn the right to claim her as bride" Cologne explained to him.

"This is sheer nonsense, she's a Japanese citizen and she's coming home with me" he explained impatiently.

"She wanted to become an Amazon and now she is, if you want to claim her, you have to do as we say. As she's pregnant, trial by combat does not apply in this case; trial by sex does. You have to pleasure her as she never has been pleasured before...or you can forfeit your claim on her and she will become Mousse's second wife and your child becomes his" Cologne explained, struggling not to smile. How she loved having fun with Japanese people, they would literally believe anything.

"Here, in front of everyone?" Tatewaki cried and blanched at the idea.

NABIKI

Nabiki could sense that everyone was trying not to laugh as some people translated what was going on to others. She had intended this just as a joke and could see even Cologne was struggling not to laugh as Kuno blushed beet red. She knew there was no way that he could go through with it. It wasn't that he was shy but, there was no way he, who was all about not embarrassing his family, would agree to having sex with her in front of half the town! She decided to see how far her was willing go before she admitted the whole thing was a joke. He looked to where she smirked at him in challenge and started to remove his clothes as he walked towards her.

The circle of women parted in shock as he stepped before her bared to the waist. "What are you doing?" she stammered and everyone looked on in surprise.

"I have come a long way to get you and I'm not going to let some stupid law get in the way of that" he said impatiently as he picked her up and lay her on the supposed ceremonial bed they had set up in the center of the room as a prop for the joke, that had suddenly went horribly sideways.

"But Tatewaki" she protested as he dropped his pants and stepped out of them; you could have toasted a marshmallow on her face.

"Wait" Cologne said. "You can only use certain positions for pregnant women" she said desperately.

"You think I don't know that? I looked that up on the internet." he shot back as he tenderly stroked Nabiki's belly and she felt a tear well up and she sniffled as he did the his first public acknowledgement of the paternity of their child. "I intend to marry this woman and make love to her...and nothing will stop me. Because I love you" he said to her alone.

"Oh Tatewaki" she cried out and kissed him desperately, completely forgetting where they were to hear it from him for the first time and people could only look on in partly in shock and partly in horniness as the two made ardent love in front of them all, exploring many positions and loudly enjoying themselves.

"Mousse it's like a train wreck; I just can't look away" Shampoo said with a blush.

"So you don't want to go next?" he joked.

"No but I kind of do wish this was a real trial" Shampoo said with a giggle. "I suspect lots of babies shall be conceived tonight."

"Well we were talking about trying for a second one" he replied, giving her a salacious glance.

TATEWAKI AND NABIKI

"You could have told me it was a joke" he complained when she explained it later.

"I never thought you would go through with it" she said as she hugged him, enjoying the feeling of his muscular body against her own; they were on his plane winging their way back to Japan.

"I would have done anything to get you back" he said and wiped a tear of her's away. Apparently her statement that everything made her cry was correct. She had cried after her final orgasm, she had cried when Cologne said she was his and she had then cried when she said goodbye to her friends and finally, when he had given her the engagement ring the second they were alone.

"So you really love me?" she asked him.

"I just had sex with you in front of half of China to make you mine. I'm yours for life" he promised and held her while she started to cry again.

"I love you too. Here I thought I was to you, kind of like how Ukyo Kuonji was to Ranma" she said and then wondered why her future husband had suddenly stiffened.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked her as he sweat dropped.

"Well, you know I'm your old friend from childhood and she was Ranma's. You have to feel sorry for a girl like that; she's probably frigid and still a virgin" Nabiki mused. Tatewaki schooled his features, not wanting to give away that he knew for fact that the girl was neither. "Oh well, enough about her" she said dismissively and cuddled back into him.

"So you're pretty sure we're having a boy?" he asked her, suddenly changing the subject.

"All signs point to yes" she said and sniffled again when his hand settled on her stomach.

"Soun Koun?" Tatewaki suggested.

"You want to name him after my father?" she asked, sniffling again.

"I want to name him after a man I respect...and I was thinking Reiko if it turns out to be a girl" Tatewaki said.

"I guess we should get married soon" Nabiki said, wondering if she had ever felt so happy.

"As far as I'm concerned, we already are. But of course we'll make it legal" Tatewaki said and hugged the weeping girl and anticipated a challenging married life ahead with her as his wife...and welcomed the challenge.
