Chapter Text
"Congratulations my dear." Washuu said happily as she ran a small circular object that fit inside the palm of her hand over Ryoko's stomach as Ryoko lay on a table in Washuu's lab.
"Mmm?" Ryoko asked somewhat confused, her own features conveying just as much as what she was about to say? "The heck do you mean congratulations? I was expecting something more along the lines of I found out what the cause of your illness was." She said doing a pretty good impression of Washuu when she discovered the problem to something.
"I do not sound like that for your information, and this right here." She said pointing to a picture on her holotop and pressed a few buttons enlarging the image and showed Ryoko what looked like a small fig like object.
Ryoko looked even more confused at the photo and only earned an annoyed sigh and a firm listen carefully from the pink-haired scientist. Ryoko's eyes would soon widen as Washuu explained what each area was, it slowly clicked in her mind what the picture was as she shot up and frowned almost glaring at Washuu. "You trying to say I'm Pre-
"Yep your gonna be a mommy in another six to seven months to be precise, your just about to hit your second trimester sometime next week. Oh I can't believe it I'm gonna be a grandma, my little Ryoko is gonna be a mommy." She said and reached to touch Ryoko's belly.
"Don't touch me." Ryoko growled slapping Washuu's hand away as she frowned at the woman's excitement.
She looked down at her stomach that was only about the size of a small fruit, still able to be concealed by her clothing. But it wouldn't be for long. She would be showing soon enough, Ryoko estimated she had at least another three weeks to a month and a half before the inevitable round baby bump would show itself full force indicating she was very much indeed pregnant.
She started to bring her hand to her stomach to lay it across the small tiny bump but stopped hesitating a bit as if afraid she was gonna hurt the growing life inside her. Slowly but surely she lay her hand across her stomach as her mind processed everything. She was pregnant....she was going to be a mom soon. Who would have thought hers and Tenchi's little night of passion would create something she's always wanted with Tenchi, a child of their own. That reminded her.
"So you gonna tell him?" Washuu asked.
"Mmm?" Ryoko asked.
"Tenchi. You gonna tell him?" She asked.
"Of course I am, your nuts if you think I plan on hiding it from him...everyone else can wait though." She said and looked at her belly. "Don't tell anyone alright?" She asked.
"Don't worry your secret's safe with me. Come back and see me in about two weeks and we'll see how its doing," Washuu said.
"Mmm." Ryoko said and walked off phasing through the door of the lab and went through the stairs coming out in the upper part of the house and went into her room looking at her mirror and looked at her belly again rubbing her hand over the small swell.
"A baby...well don't make me sick anymore ok? You have to try and stomach some kind of food." She said and smiled a bit and looked hearing the door open.
"Ryoko Dinner's ready." Sasami said cheerfully.
"Mm...alright Sasami I'll be down soon." Ryoko said seeing the door close and sighed looking at her stomach one more time before heading down to eat.
