air women was on her bed with the husband by her side crying.
	"Akane! Akane! Don't leave me!" Akane looked up.
	"Ranma… what about the kids? They are in the past and don't know that I'm about to…"
	"Don't say that word Akane, please," Ranma held her hand. A man with long black hair (kind of long.) with a bandanna around his forehead and a women with brown hair came in with him. Ranma turned around.
	"Ryoga, what will we…" Ranma tried everything to hold back the tears. With all his might but he felt like bursting. Ryoga turned to his wife and saw two other people, a purple hair women and a long black hair man. Ryoga looked at them.
	"Mousse… Shampoo… where did you two come from?"
	"We came in when you talking to Ranma," Shampoo answered. Ryoga started to hug his wife. His wife patted him on the back.
	"Ryoga-Suga…"
	"Ukyo…" Mousse put a shoulder on Ryoga.
	"How would Mr. Tendo-,"
	"Oh My BABY!" Everyone turned around and saw Akane's father crying on her side.
	"Dad, everything will be fine," Akane try to sit up but everybody set her down.
	"Akane, I'll try to tell our twins in a very nice way," Ranma wiped a tear off his check.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Back in the present, everyone was in the waiting room. They were all waiting for Dr. Tofu or for a cry from a baby. With a sudden snap of the finger, Dr. Tofu came rushing in the General Nerima Hospital while everyone stood up and walked to him. Dr. Tofu looked at them.
	"What's this all about?" He asked.
	"It's nothing. Kasumi is mmmmm," everybody covered Ranma's mouth. Dr. Tofu just stared at them. He finally noticed one person was not there.
	"Kasumi. Where is Kasumi?" Everybody let go of Ranma's mouth and stared at them. At cue, a nurse came out.
	"Are you Ono Tofu?" She asked to Dr. Tofu.
	"Yes, I am,"
	"Congratulations. You have a baby girl," 
	"Is this some dream?"
	"No. You have a beautiful baby girl. Follow me, please," the nurse motioned him to come. Everyone followed him to see Kasumi and the baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	"She looks so cute!" Ragi played with the baby's hand.
	*But where we are, your a fourteen year old girl.* Washi sighed. Kasumi was in a hospital bed holding her daughter.
	"Dr. Tofu… what should we call her?" she turned to her fiancee.
	"I don't know but," he picked up the baby, "she looks like you, like a mirror," Kasumi smiled.
	"Kagami. Kagami Tofu,"
	"Could I hold Kagami?" Ragi asked. Soon everybody started pleading to hold the baby. Kasumi smiled more.
	"All right, but you got to e careful," Dr. Tofu lend the baby girl to Ragi. Ragi held it and smiled.
	"Hi Kagami, this is your cousin," she whispered. She passed it to Washi.
	"Sup cuz?" he started giggling as the baby laughed. He passed it to Ryoga.
	"Hi Kagami," He greeted. Kagami took Ryoga's finger and started sucking on it.
	"That is cute," Dr. Tofu said. Ryoga looked at the baby in his arms.
	"She won't let go of my finger," 
	"Don't worry. Watch the master," Ukyo said. Ryoga passed the baby to Ukyo but his finger was still in the baby's mouth. Ukyo gently took Ryoga's finger out of Kagami's mouth. Kagami didn't start crying.
	"How you do that?" Ryoga asked. Ukyo looked at him.
	"Tell ya later Suga," she looked at the Kagami.
	"Any day now," Ranma said.
	"You will have a wonderful life," Ukyo passed her to Ranma.
	"Hey there," he said. Kagami yanked Ranma's pig-tail.
	"Hey! Watch it!" Akane took the baby from Ranma's arms.
	"Baka… gotta lot to learn," 
	"So?" Ranma asked. Akane looked at her niece.
	"Hi, I'm your Aunt Akane. The man you just pulled the hair of was your Uncle Ranma," she smiled and passed the baby to Shampoo.
	"Nihao Kagami," She passed it to Mousse.
	"Hello," Mousse passed it to Nabiki.
	"I'm your Aunt Nabiki, Kagami," She passed it to Kuno.
	"A noble lady of which-," Kuno started.
	"Yeah, yeah Kuno. Do that later. Pass it on," Nabiki ordered. Kuno passed it to Soun.
	"I'm a grandparent," he passed it to Genma and started crying.
	"Would you like to go on a training trip?" Genma asked Kagami. Ranma went over to his father and whacked him on the head.
	"Nice try," Genma gave it back to Kasumi. Kasumi started rocking Kagami in her arms to sleep while humming a lullaby. 
	"We should get going," Washi looked at his watch. Everybody but Dr. Tofu waved good bye and went out of the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Ragi, Washi, Ryoga, Ukyo, Ranma, Akane, Shampoo, and Mousse were at Ragi and Washi's apartment. They sat down around a table. 
	"Pleasure to meet you Miss Shampoo, Mr. Mousse," Ragi greeted.
	"All right with me," Mousse said.
	"Hiya," Shampoo agreed.
	"I'll go to the kitchen and get some tea," Ragi stood up and ran to the kitchen. Everybody started talking about the miracle in the hospital.
	"I guess I'm finally an aunt, huh?" Akane said.
	"That'll make me an uncle," Ranma said. 
	"I guess that will make me an explorer," Ryoga said.
	"And me a world famous chef," Ukyo said.
"Me Grand Chinese Amazon warrior," Shampoo said.
"I'll be a happy husband," Mousse said. Shampoo giggled. Five minutes had past and Ragi still hadn't come back. Washi stood up.
	"I'm going in the kitchen. There is something wrong," 
	"We'll come too," Ranma said as the group stood up. They rushed in the kitchen and saw Ragi crying. She went over to Ranma and Akane. Washi went to them.
	"What's wrong sis?" Washi asked.	
	"It's- it's mom," she cried.
	"What?" Ragi handed her twin a faxed letter. Washi read and a tear came out. Ryoga took the paper and read it out loud.
	"To Washi and Ragi Saotome. We have terrible news. Your mother has wants a divorce because of our fighting and we are trying to find a way to make her stay. She is right now… leaving. If there is any way to make her stay in the past, please tell us. With love, your Pop," Ryoga read it over and whispered at 'the past' part. He felt in ache and so did everybody else.
	"There's more at the back," Ragi informed them. Ryoga turned the paper over.
	"P.S. Your mother is in her bedroom packing and we need all the help you can get," Ryoga set the paper down on the counter. Mousse was hugging Shampoo, Akane was holding Ragi, Ranma was about to cry, Ukyo turned to face a wall, and Ryoga sat down on the floor. Washi went over to Ranma.
	"Is… will you… can…" Washi tried to say.
	"Whoa! Slow down!" Ranma said.
	"Our parents had always wanted to see the people who will take care of us in here. Would you please come?" Washi begged.
	"For our mother's sakes?" Ragi asked. Ranma nodded.
	"Fine with me, guys?" he asked the rest.
	"Sure thing," Akane agreed.
	"I'm in," Ryoga agreed.
	"All right," Ukyo said.
	"Hiya," Shampoo nodded.
	"Count me in," Mousse nodded.
	"Thank you, thank you all!" Ragi cried.
	"We leave tomorrow morning," Washi said.
	"It's just one day for mother to see," Ragi wiped out a tear.
	"Tomorrow it is suga," Ukyo nodded.
	"Don't worry, we'll start school Tuesday," Washi added.
	"Count on it. In this apartment at six?" Mousse asked. Everyone nodded. Ukyo looked at Ryoga.
	"Your crashing in my place tonight. It won't be fun to not have you here tomorrow," Ryoga nodded.
	"Or maybe not much fun tonight?" Akane asked. Ukyo blushed.
	"Good God! What time is it?" Ragi asked. Washi looked at his watch.
	"Yikes! It's ten!" Everybody stood up.
	"See you all at six!" Ragi waved as Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Mousse left the apartment. Ragi watched them disappeared at the stairs. (That was the last time Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, and Ukyo trusted the elevator. The told the story to Shampoo and Mousse and now they don't trust the elevator.) Ragi wiped another tear off her cheek and smiled. She closed the behind her as she back inside.
