Ranma and his new wife Kasumi were sitting on one side of the table while his mother, Nodoka, and Nabiki were on the other side. All four were sitting and enjoying the breakfast that Nodoka with Nabiki's help had prepared for the small family.
"Since it is the weekend, Ranma, what are your plans for the day?" Nodoka asked.
"I need to set up damage control when people start to learn that I married Kasumi. A lot of people aren't going to like it much less accept it." Ranma scowled darkly. "Especially with Pops and Mr. Tendo. Every time those two interfere they make things worse."
"Now son I'm sure that Genma means well." Nodoka lightly scolded her son.
"How does Genma pimping me off, using my name to run up tabs, his using my name to borrow money, and using me as a scapegoat mean he is looking after or meaning well?" Ranma mumbled quietly. Kasumi heard him mumble that and realized that her mother-in-law still has no idea what Genma has done or continues to do. Unknown to the newly wedded couple both Nodoka and Nabiki heard him mumble that. Nodoka looked like she was going to comment about that but a hand on her shoulder caused her to look at Nabiki, who shook her head sadly.
"Besides that I mean?" Nodoka quickly changed the subject.
"Well since it is the weekend I was planning on getting Kasumi a brand new wardrobe. All she has are house dresses for housework. Nabiki will be coming along as well to make sure we get something that makes my Kasumi-chan look good." Ranma answered. 'If Kasumi thinks I am going to have her hide her sexy body behind those house dresses she's out of her mind. Besides I know that she has the figure with those large, firm breasts to and ample ass to wear what I want her to wear. I wonder if I can get her into a v-swimsuit.'
Kasumi was blushing at Ranma's compliment not noticing her husband's gleam in his eye but Nabiki noticed it and she knew that Kasumi was about to get remade.
'Oh boy is Kasumi going to be surprised.' Nabiki hid a grin. 'If I know the new Ranma he's going to be sneaking in some very daring risque clothing.'
Nodoka was nodding in approval at Ranma's suggestion knowing that even though his decision to marry Kasumi and new attitude was a complete shock knew that the couple will be fine. Especially in the bedroom.
"That's a great idea, son." Nodoka smiled. "I'll pay for it since Kasumi will need it and it will solve my problem of having to get you a wedding gift. I can afford it, Ranma. My clan is very wealthy."
'Now I know why the panda married Mom/Auntie.' Ranma, Nabiki, and even Kasumi was thinking that at the same time. 'In fact I have a driver and car that can be put your use for the day to help out.'
"Why don't you two get ready while Nabiki and I clean up in here?" Nodoka suggested. Ranma and Kasumi nod and walk out of the dining room. "I know you heard that statement about Genma pimping Ranma out and the other things but..."
"Auntie." Nabiki firmly interrupted. Nodoka looks at Ranma's mistress in concern hearing the serious tone in her voice. "Ranma's training trip was pure hell but from what I've learned and seen when Ranma has been living with us makes me disgusted with what your husband has done to Ranma. I'm not going to betray Ranma's trust in me since it's not my story to tell but I can tell you this Auntie."
Nabiki's eyes were hard as she looked at Ranma's mother.
"Ranma marrying Kasumi needed to be done in order to break Genma's and Daddy's control over him and us. Ranma is fighting I guess you can call it a war of independence to free him and us from two fools who regard us as slaves and property." Nabiki took a deep breath. "And you are going to have to make a decision on who you are going to stand with: Your son, Ranma or your husband, Genma."
Nabiki then gathered the plates and glasses off the table leaving a very nervous Nodoka Saotome knowing she will have to talk to her son about some very serious family matters.
