Fathers and Daughters, Mothers and Sons
One of Her Own – Ran and Conan
Ran Kudo was a very happy woman. She was married to the love of her life and had two wonderful children. The younger of which she was taking to kindergarten for the first time. Actually, she was feeling rather nostalgic after her conversation with the principal. He'd made the mistake of assuming she was her son's older sister and hitting on her. Their following conversation had been very similar to one she'd had with a young man back when Conan had not been her son, but Shinichi's pseudonym.
Of course, her son had not gone all red and gotten a nosebleed when she told the principal that he was her son and the spitting image of his father. Then again, she hadn't been implying he was his own father either. Ran was jolted out of her thoughts as the arrived at Conan's classroom. She knelt down next to him. "Ready for school, Conan?"
"Mo-om, I'm not going to change my mind. You're being overpro – overprotective again." He looked proud at remembering his father's words. "Besides, I want to see the look on the principal's face when Dad picks me up. I can't believe he asked you out."
Ran smiled. As much as she had enjoyed having the original Conan around, it was much nicer having a son of her own.
