Michiru looked around the store, checking out what had been considered the latest fashions.
But her mind was occupied on other thoughts, namely the proclamation that Setsuna had made last night during her romp with her pigtailed husband.
She had considered such thoughts, both before she met Haruka, and even afterwards. After all, there would come a day where she would like children, both adopted and her own. She would need a Chibi-Neptune, just as Usagi had Chibi-Usa.
It just wasn’t the need for an heir that was driving her. She would be lying if she said she hadn’t considered having a child. She wanted to carry it, nurse it, raise it as her own. She wanted to be a mother in every sense of the word.
Last night, what she had told Haruka, had been mostly to tease her life partner. Hearing her belittle the husband of her friend on stereotypes had been a poor reaction on Haruka’s part, even if they had been keeping them up all hours of the night with their actions.
And she would admit that he had been rough and powerful enough to actually break the bed ... well, it did make her eyebrow raise in appreciation.
But it had been worth it. When she woke up, it was quite obvious that Haruka had not had much sleep, her eyes baggy. And when she had left this morning, Haruka was passing out on the couch, probably still having daydreams about what Michiru had ‘suggested’ to her. She wouldn’t be surprised if her short haired lover was still having trouble sleeping for the next few nights.
But there were other things to think about now. Sure, Setsuna was willing to share her husband, even include the other Senshi in their love making.
But to what point? Exactly at what point would Setsuna change her mind? How many girls was she willing to share her husband with? How many would be the pressure to make Setsuna reconsider such words?
She did respect Ranma, to say the least. He got cursed saving his wedding ring. He even agreed to go through the Hell every female went through once every twenty eight days, in order to appease a village’s traditions, and keep them from doing anything which may hurt Setsuna in the future.
His mother was definitely understanding, as well as someone who had a vengeance streak she could appreciate. She couldn’t think of a better punishment for Ranma’s father than what Tissue had come up with.
So she could admit she respected both Ranma and his two mothers.
But was she willing to be that intimate with a guy, especially someone else’s husband?
Setsuna had mentioned something about Instant Jusenkyo during dinner. But the tone she had used indicated it would perhaps be a bad idea to mix it with Senshi magic. At least she understood that magic was better not to mix too often. And while the prospect of her child being that of Haruka, she wasn’t going to force that dream if it had the chance of harming Haruka. Even Usagi might not be able to cure Ranma, even after Ami finished studying him.
No, for the moment, he was the best possibility for a father for her child. The fact that he changed into a female with cold water did offer certain ... benefits ... to such a pairing, enough to perhaps include Haruka inside any such activities.
And what about Hotaru-chan? Did she become included in such an agreement? She knew Ukyo did, whoever that was.
And if the Tendos ever learned of Setsuna’s ‘open door’ policy, would they wish to be included. At least Ranma was thinking things over. She knew he seemed to be a one-woman man if given the opportunity. But would he?
Not likely, given how Setsuna presented things. He would work to please her, and Setsuna seemed to desire such a relationship.
A man for all the Senshi? A Prince for any Princess?
“Do you need any help, ma’am?” asked a salesgirl.
Michiru blinked, shaking her head free of thoughts on the matter. “Not at the moment, thank you. I’m just browsing.”
The girl nodded. “Let me know. Oh, and congratulations.”
Michiru blinked, wondering what the woman was congratulating her for, when she noticed just where she was browsing.
She was currently in the maternity wear department.
“Curd,” she muttered, as she turned to head back to high fashions. “Now she’s got me thinking about it.”
