Susan sighed as she passed another restaurant as she aimlessly walked around town getting some fresh air. She ignored her stomach as it growled loudly as it protested not being fed for the last two days as the inviting auroma drifted from the place. For the last six months after Will disappeared Susan had hardly eaten anything at all or had she hardly left her apartment even though Dean and all of the girls' parents had tried to get her to leave. She even had it arranged so she could work from home so she could be there in case Will came home or called.

 

Now, for some reason, she felt she just had to get out of there and get some fresh air. She prayed that she would find Will during her walk but she was actually starting to give up hope. She believed it was her fault that Will left, after all what had she actually done for her daughter lately? Mistrust her? Yell and scream at her and not listen to what she was feeling? Hit her? At the moment the only person Susan hated was herself for being such a screw up and lousy mother.

 

Susan just about jumped out of her skin when a boy from out of nowhere landed not to far away from her carrying a girl in his arms…a girl with red hair. Hoping against hope Susan quickly but quietly followed the two into the park where they sat down in front of the lake. Stopping close to them Susan hid behind a tree close to them to see if she could hear what was going on or to see if it was Will. A part of her just wanted to run to the girl but Susan didn't want to scare them if it wasn't Will.

 

“Will…I…well, there is one other person I wish you would see while we are here.” The boy said, a little sadly.

 

Susan's heart jumped a little as he said that, it was Will. She watched as Will leaned into the boy and couldn't help but smile a little, it seemed the two really cared for each other but she also swore to herself that if that boy had hurt Will in anyway then he would pay with intrest. She wasn't to sure if it was herself that Will was talking about but it was what it sounded like and it sounded as if the boy was trying to get Will to come see her.

 

This guardian thing and Metamoor, it all sounded strange to Susan but for some reason Susan was sure it wasn't a game of some sort. There was just so much in there voices that was hard to describe but there was deffinateley a maturity in Will's voice that just wasn't there before. That wasn't the shock though…he had just called her his wife. Susan was split on killing him or thanking him for keeping her little girl safe.

 

“Thanks, Ranma.” Will said, “I'm just scared of what would happen…I couldn't take it if I really knew that she hated me for sure.”

 

“Why don't you ask her?” Susan asked, trying hard not to cry. She threw herself at Will as the redhead started to turn around and glomped her tightly.

 

“M-Mom?” Will asked in shock before she started sobbing, “MOM!”

 

“I'm so sorry, Will…I'm sorry.” Susan cried as she held her daughter tightly refusing to let go. “Please don't leave again baby, please.”

 

“I'm so sorry mom.” Will cried hugging back.

 

“I love you so much Will and I'm so sorry.” Susan cried as she buried her face in Will's crimson hair. “I could never hate you baby, please don't hate me.”

 

“I don't hate you mom.” Will sniffed, “I love you and missed you so much.”

 

“And I missed you too, so very very much baby.” Susan sniffed, kissing the top of Will's head. “Come on, lets go home, you can bring your friend with you.”

 

“His name is Ranma.” Will said pulling back to look up as Susan with a blush, “He…He's my husband, Mom.”

 

“Will…I…I don't know what to think about that right now but…please just come home…both of you, please.” Susan begged.

 

“Will, please, lets go with her.” Ranma said softly, “You both need this…very much.”

 

“I'd love to Momma.” Will sniffed throwing her arms around Susan again.
