Ryoko's Sacrifice

By RingPrincess

Chapter Two


"YOU WHAT!?!?!" Washu shreiked.

Ryoko winced but went on.

"I've really thought about this. I want her to have what I didn't
have when I needed it, a mother." She took a breathe and raised
herself to her full height. "I love her mother, I do not know
how it happened or why, but I do. I want to be there for her."

"You want, do none of the rest of us count Ryoko. What will Tenchi
say? And the rest of the family? Did you think about that Ryoko." Washu
warned dangerously.

Ryoko looked away, she was caught there. "I don't care."

"This is Tenchi's daughter as well. He should have some say."

"Your running out of time Washu, Mayuka's DNA will not last much longer
and my high fertility comes in two hours." Ryoko said bluntly.

Washu paled. "I still think Tenchi should have a say in this."

"We don't know if it will even work mom, we are running out of time."

"You waited this long because you knew that I would have to at least
try." Washu said sternly, but already moving the equipment into position.

"Wrong, I waited this long to get my courage up."

Washu turned and looked at her daughter, actually looked at her.

She was so pale that a white sheet would have more color and she
was visibly trembling in fear and nervousness. Her eyes were bloodshot
and her hair hung slackly around her ears. But her eyes held determination
and a strength of will that said, I will go through this, I will prevail.

Washu nodded abruptly, "Very well, we will try."

Ryoko lay down on the bed. Washu moved a needle into position. "Mom, do you
think I'll be a good mother?" She asked drowsily as the sleeping potion
took effect.

Washu ran a hand through her daughters hair waiting for her to go completely
out. "I think you'll be the best." She whispered, a tear glistening in her
eye.

Ryoko gave a small smile and closed her eyes.

A couple of hours later Washu woke her daughter with a bright and cheery
smile.

"Rise and shine, little Ryoko."

Ryoko blinked a few times, managing to look extremely cute.

"So how does it feel to be a new mommy?" Washu chirped.

Ryoko's hand went immediatly to her stomach. "It worked." she breathed.

Washu nodded.

"So now what?" Ryoko said gravely.

Washu smiled. "Well, you get to be pregnant, either it is the best time
of your life or the worst."

"Well, be more specific."

Washu laughed, but proceeded to soothe her daughters fears as she told
her all about being pregnant.
