When he finally came to, he heard the last bits of a conversation between two of the Sailor Senshi.
"Are you still my mama?" asked Hotaru.
"At the moment, of course I am, but one day, you will have a little baby girl that will one day be me and it’ll be your responsibility to be the best mother you can be. And you will. You and papa are going to be the best parents a little girl could ask for," replied Setsuna.
"Oh, man. This really does screw up everything back at Nerima." Ranma didn't realize that he had said this out loud and drew the attention of the girls.
"So...um...you're my kid?" Setsuna nodded to confirm that fact.
Ranma seemed to be slowly digesting this information. "And this girl here...actually, I never got your name."
"Hotaru Tomoe, also known as Sailor Saturn." It seemed that it would be useless to conceal their identities since Ranma was not only her future husband but an ally of the Senshi being Mercury's brother.
"Thank you. And Hotaru here is going to be your mother?" There was another nod from the Senshi of Time.
"I see. Then that means we get married sometime or something." Hotaru blushed as she tried to deal with the giddy feeling that was building up inside her.
"That's right, father. Perhaps you should rest some more. This is a lot to take in."
Ranma shook his head and slowly got up. "Not now. I gotta figure out how to deal with the fiancee situation back in Nerima."
"SAY WHAT?!?" cried Haruka.
Setsuna understood what he was saying. "Calm down, Haruka. The fiancee situation was completely out of his control. Most of the arrangements had been made by my grandfather and the last one happened to be created due to Amazon law." Haruka just sat back down again.
Ranma staggered for a bit before collapsing to the ground again. "Ow..." The news had been too much for his mind and he still needed time to let it soak in. That and the Symbiont had to make a few adjustments to his body to achieve maximum efficiency. And that meant that he would be feeling a bit groggy for some time.
"Are you alright?" asked Hotaru.
He forced himself to flip to his back. "I'll be fine. Though my body feels kinda funny."
Hotaru scooted over to him and placed his head in her lap. "Just lie there for a bit and I'll heal you." Her hands gave off a gentle purple aura while soothing Ranma's physical ailments.
"How do you feel?"
"A little better. Thanks, Hotaru." She blushed once before giving him a precious smile.
Rei, Minako and Makoto found themselves wishing they were in Hotaru's shoes right now.
