A/N: "Possibly Maybe" is named after my favorite Bjork song. Thanks again to M&N for the proofreading!
Akane leaned over the balcony; her arms were crossed and rested on the wooden railing. She stared off into the sky, a warm orange due to the sunset.
Ranma approached her apprehensively. "Akane?"
"Can you believe it?" Akane asked breathlessly, not taking her eyes off the sky. "I'm so excited that I'm going to be auntie!"
She was, of course, talking about Kasumi's announcement today that she and her husband would be expecting their first child in seven months or so. Akane, Nabiki, and Nodoka instantly took to fussing over Kasumi while the men in the house stared awkwardly at Kasumi's husband.
Ranma joined his fiancée by the railing. She hadn't been this excited about something in a while. It was sort of…cute. "You ever think about having kids?"
"Huh?" This caught Akane off guard. She turned her head to Ranma and looked at him. "You mean, in general?"
"In general," Ranma agreed. "Or," he turned his head, averting his gaze, "with me."
A smile tugged at her lips. "Oh, Ranma," she replied. "You pervert."
"What?" Ranma looked up as his cheeks grew hotter. "I didn't mean— I'm not a—"
A giggle escaped from Akane. "I'm joking! As for your question…" She looked straight into Ranma's eyes. "Yes, I've thought about it—maybe once or twice." She smirked and began to walk away.
Ranma blushed even harder. "In general, or with me?" he managed to squeak out.
The fleeting girl turned her head to look at him but continued walking. "Wouldn't you like to know," she laughed.
He watched her joyously skip away, transfixed on her bubbly laugh. Ranma shook himself out of his stupor. "Girls," he muttered, but he allowed a small smile to come across his face.
