Chapter One

The first signs of a new day, the sun rising up from the east and braking through the gape in the thick drapes of a
room cluttered with boxes to rest to the face of one of the two inhabitants of the room successfully waking him.

Moaning softly as he untangled him self from his wife's loving arms pausing only a moment to peck her on the ruby
lips, cussing her to stir as he left for is morning shower.

Mara hearing the door to the on suite close opened her eyes and stretched moving over to the now empty side of the
bed trying with not much success in hold in the fleeting warmth from her husbands body. As she lay there letting her
mind think of the last seventeen year's sure they had their ups and downs what with the kids and everything but she
never felt such bliss in all her long life until she met Ranma. Broke form her thoughts by her husbands reappearance
in the bed room she admired his body as he walked wearing a large towel round his waste and a hand towel in his
hands as he dry his long hair.

"Hey, how you feeling? I didn't expect you up for awhile yet" Ranma said in hushed voice.

The past few days had Ranma on pin hooks because in all the years they had been together she had never really
been ill she could have a cold now and again but that was usually because of a glitch in the world computer. As to the
fact that divinity didn't catch mortal illnesses and you could usually tell something was afoot when they had more than a
cold. So because of this (Plus Ranma running round trying to make her comfortable and the kids ducking for cover because
their of Dad running round trying to make Mom comfortable) they have yet to unpack the reason for the boxes
everywhere.

"Great actually, No ache or cramps, No feelings of sickness I feel normal, must have been one of those three day things how
about you are you calm now?" she teased even when ill she found it highly amusing how the calm cool and
usually restrained could act like a headless chicken a sickness.

"Well you can't blame me for being a bit stressed, you haven't had more than a cold in all it the year's we've been
together" he replied with a blush and a slight frown.

"You will make some calls call to find out what's been happen up stairs to cause it wont you?" it wasn't a question.

"You now it, id rather not have gone through that without a damn good reason" she replied anyway.

"I'll phone after I've showered and dressed, then we can get to unpacking and seeing what damage the kids have done in
our relative absence" she added.

As she got up she sent her husband a wicked smile, and gave him a come hither gesture to which he smile and complied,
as soon as he was close enough she grabbed him slipping her arms around his neck pulling him in to a very deep and
passionate kiss. When they pulled back a bit with their foreheads still touching looking deep into each others eyes she spoke
in a low husky voice.

"I think you need another shower so you can help you your poorly reach the places she couldn't on her own " and with
that she turned and sauntered into the bath room. He flowed shaking his head smiling with slightly amused look in his
eyes(wondering not for the first time if which heritage she inherited her libido from demon or god).

They were now living in the States, Atlanta to be exact all because Skuld said that they ,well not Mara and Ranma
the kids would need to be here for an events in the future but she wouldn't say what (Mara just though the half-pint
goddess was fed-up with the temple be cramped and finally saw a way to get them out or after all the failed advances
toward Ranma she was just upset and sent them on a wild system bug chase ).

But they couldn't really complain as it was they had a nice new home not as big as some of the others in the area but the
land around it was more than a hundred acres. The house it self had six bedrooms two of which had an on suite, One
main bathroom with bath the size of a small pond Down stairs had four large rooms one of which was the size of a
medium function room (Ranma was thinking of making it in to weights room.)(Mara was going to turn it in to a area
for dinner parties and such.) and a large kitchen which can hold an eight seat dinning table with enough room for
three people to walk arm in arm around said table and still not touch the counter tops. So all in all it wasn't so bad
having to move countries for a while and after all the adventures they had over the year's it would be good to have some
time off (like they have a choice where this pair go not even Kami-sama him self can know (A good idea? Yes. Know?
Not a chance in the multiverse .)).

Taking full advantage of first light two figure dance round each other trading blows shadowed form the light of the
dawn. But still one could easily depict the gender of each if nothing else, one male about five foot nine lean with a little
muscle tone the other female just an inch or two shorter with the same build. As they move apart and settle down wipe sweat
from their brows they hear clapping from the door of the kitchen they turn both slipping into a non-stance which
to those who new was typical Ranma of old. At the door they find their father smiling a loving smile born of pride
in the accomplishments of his children.

"The two of you have come quite far in your training, I think its time I stared to up your training and see how well you cope
with some of this old mans secrets" grinning at them as he said it, he new the answer to the question he was about
to ask but it had to be done, it was just the way it was.

His face grew serous "The question is are you sure you want the responsibility the knowledge I would share with you would
require".

Both had always wanted, yearned for the question to be asked, but now they were asked they were shocked having asked
time and time again for him to teach them the more advanced parts of their school and all he would say is when your
ready. They got over the shock quickly though and bowed down respectively before bringing them selves strait to
answer him.

"It would be an honor to lean and hope I am worthy of the honer and responsibility you deem me of" and bowed again.

"We shall see" was he replied with a glint in his eyes.

Walking up to the two of his children that decided to carry to training in the art he pulled them in to a fatherly hug and
laughed and said."I hope you realise training with me just became hell on earth"

"Awe come on dad your training is hell anyway these no way it can't be any worse then now" the young man said
with a smirk certain of his statement.

"Yeah dad there ain't nothing you could do thats could be worse than whats you put us through so far" added the young
woman with the same look as her brother.

Ranma just laugh some as he turned and started to walk in the kitchen the start breakfast and replied.

"We'll see if you say that after the first time your hit with the bolder"

The twins looked at each other for a moment and start to wonder not for the first time about the fathers sanity.

"You know what Liz?"the boy said slowly

"Whats that Ry?"she ask still watching he fathers back as he headed to the kitchen.

"I think we just made a big mistake"he replied.

"Oh come on you know he was probably just trying to scare us" she stated in an uncertain voice.

"Yeah I guess your right, besides mom would have his hide if he even though of any thing like that right"he asked

"Yeah thats right" still a little uncertain but started to walk to the house trying not to think of their up coming training
her brother following close behind. Now that we can see the pair better their look to be around eighteen perhaps a little
older with blond hair littered with different size brown spots. The girls flowing down her back just short of her rear
the boy shorter but not short as it hangs around his shoulders. Both attractive to in their own way and a person could tell
from glance they were related and walked with a confidence that would draw people to them like moths to a flame.

Sitting in front of the TV in the front room was the last member of the family enjoying the start of a Tom & Jerry
marathon, Sue is the youngest of the family and would think when talking to her she was younger than she actually is. The girl
has No sides to her, she can see only the good things in life and always looks to make everyone happy oh did i
mention shes the the magic user out of the children. Being taught all she can learn from her mother she has a higher
learning curve than even her father and while only trained in the basics of her fathers art is loved no less for it. But with
all good there's a bad and with this little angel the bad is a fraction to the let of dooms day, slow boil temper and with
near almost semi cosmic powers you got a slight problem. Luckily she has picked up her 'daddies' Ice cream addiction
and can be easily subdued by that or some soothing words from her most favorite person in the world yep you guest it
her daddy and like all daddies girls she has him rapped round her little finger thankfully for us Mara has Ranma by his...
I think we'll leave it at that.

Well your normal every day family, if your normal every day family consists of one super powerful immortal marital
arts master with enough power to take out a fair size city without braking a sweat, one overly protective woman of
divine origin with even more power than said marital artist and three supposedly fictional magical beings.

Ranma was just finishing making breakfast his wife on the phone finding out whats been going on the past few days to
find out why she has been sick. His children all round the table waiting for their father to dish out food and chatting about
general things.

"So kid what cha got fixed for the day?" Ranma asked as he liked to be a part of his kids life but not a controlling factor
just enough so they new he cared but not to cramp their style.

Before they could answer they heard a loud scream of "I'M WHAT?" from the hall where their mother was on the
phone. They all turn their heads to the door that lead to the the hall and listened to the tail end of the the conversation.

"And your sure of this?"she continued

"You better not be pulling my leg cause if I find out this is all some sick joke..." leaving the sentence hanging.

"Of course its Great News, thank you, Bye" with that they could hear the handset placed back on the receiver and
waited to find out what all that was about.

In work Mara with a dazed look and glazed over eyes Ranma quickly got up and help her to her chair, setting her down
and putting food in front of her with a fresh cup of herbal tea. They waited for her to say something until Sue got fed-up
and just came out and asked.

"Whats the matter mama?"in a slightly worried voice.

"Yeah love did you find out why you've been ill, your going to be alright, right dear?"trying to will it with his words

"What? Yes love there nothing to be worried, what happened was perfectly normal"she replied with a small smile

"What do you mean perfectly normal? Three days vomiting is nowhere near normal, I'm no doctor but even i now that"
he said with total disbelief.

"Morning sickness is perfectly normal when your pregnant, so see nothing to worry about" she said with the same small
smile one that is worn by those that are purely happy.

"Oh pregnant, is that all it... wait what you just say?" he ask with a slightly bewildered looked

"I'm pregnant Love"she replied he smile becoming a little wider.

"Thats what i though you said" and with that he fainted

With that Mara broke in to laughter at seeing her husband faint, while the children just stared at her before the girls
Squealed rushed their mother giving her hugs and twittering about names, clothes and what not. While their brother
went to get the smelling salts to wake their father shaking his head and muttering to him self something about being the
only one of them with a level head.

TBC...

(A.N.) I was thinking of explaining more about the whole how he ended up with Mara, what happen to the NWC and
other things in either in a flashback and/or a Separate fic but I haven't decided yet.

The curse wont be cured but Ranmawill have control of it thats how I'll be able to tie in how he was able to teach the kids
how to change forms. also going to tie the curse to how he is immortal and this is not Ranmas a god fic.

Why the Immortal bit? thats just so that the Mara marrying him is a bit more plausible, you know the whole not wanting
to watch the person you love grow old and die thing. Makes things easier as to how they got together cause I don't think
the girl would be interested if he ended up looking like happy or Khu Lon in about 300 years .

To answer why their on earth Ranma may be immortal but only god/goddesses are in the up in VIP so Mara is going to
want to stick with her hubby.

The NWC Has me a bit stumped I was thinking of doing the same thing Hung Nguyen has done with a lot of his xover's
and having him transfered by mistake or choice but it will be after the failed wedding.
