Shortly after Skuld's impromptu bath, everyone had gathered around the dinning table and Belldandy served breakfast. Keiichi was the only one who noticed, but Belldandy discreetly gave herself a much larger portion for breakfast than she normally did. However, he figured that there was no reason to bring it up. About halfway through breakfast, Belldandy politely coughed to get everyone's attention. She then cheerfully said, "Good news everyone. In about nine months we're going to have another member of the family with us in the temple."
Instantly, the dining room became so quiet a person could hear the breeze going through the mini-ninjas' hair. Peorth had a stunned look on her face, Urd's jaw was hanging so that her mouth was wide open, And Skuld was visibly grinning her teeth. Segel and Banpei both started running self-diagnostic checks to make sure their systems were working properly. Oh, and the mini-ninjas were all out cold over the fact that Keiichi and Bell's relationship had moved past first base. The tension built up and up in the room until all the other goddesses yelled out at the top of their lungs, "YOU'RE WHAT BELLDANDY?!!!"
While shocked and surprised, Urd and Peorth quickly started to grin. After all, Belldandy being pregnant meant that there would be a little munchkin that they could play with. There was also baby things to buy. That was what aunts, or at least honorary aunts in Peorth's case, were for. They would get all the fun of being aunts without the hassles that most aunts got stuck with. Any child of Belldandy would have to be as sweet as a babe.
However, Skuld was operating on a completely different wavelength than the other two goddesses. She may have mellowed out over the years on the Belldandy/Keiichi issue and she may have grown up more, but this was way past her comfort zone. The future Norn quickly whipped out her debugging hammer and was radiating sisterly rage. Suddenly, Skuld felt a chill run down her spin like death had just crossed her path. She slowly looked up and noticed Belldandy frowning at her. That glare quickly killed all momentum Skuld had and she sheepishly put the hammer away.
Keiichi looked on the floor show and simply rolled his eyes. And to think, they still had Megumi, his parents, and the Nekomi gang to inform about the good news. Things were about to get really interesting. Ranma's soul suddenly felt that he had traded the mad house for the circus.
