Nodoka looked at Ranma, unsure of what to say. Then a series of memories ran through her mind and Nodoka started thinking about:
"Oh dear...", moaned Nodoka, "I was reading about how mutants appeared recently. It's a Genetic mutation... if the parents both have the carrier gene then the child will be a mutant."
"So?", said a puzzled Ranma, "I really don't see how that matters Okasan."
Nodoka blushed a little: "Ah, your father and I were thinking about giving you a little brother, or sister, but...", Nodoka's face fell, "If you're a mutant... then any child I have by Genma will almost certainly be a mutant as well."
Ranma stared at his mother, stunned into disbelief. Nabiki shot the Saotome matriarch an angry glare:
"I really don't think that matters just at the moment Nodoka-basan, and if it does, just lose the Panda and marry someone else. Daddy's free and close at hand."
Nodoka ignored the sarcasm in Nabiki's voice and shook her head:
"Soun would never do, not only would it be socially outrageous, if you're a mutant, then any of Soun's children would likely have the same problem."
In sudden shock Nodoka's face went white, Nabiki stiffened and turned to Ranma:
"Your mother raises an interesting point Ranma-kun. Is there some way we can - discreetly of course - check out Kasumi and Akane?"
Ranma groaned: "I don't know. Sunfire-sensei might have the gear. The X-Men did, but I don't know if they sent it to Japan."
"So what happens now Saotome?"
