It was late afternoon when the newly engaged couple made their way down the shrine steps. Each was in their true
form as they descended. When they got to the end of the steps both turned to look at one another, then both kissed, in a
loving bonding type of way. They then disguised themselves again and made their way to the house as dinner was
being set. Only Ryoko knew of what had happened. Washu telepathically told her and asked her to keep quiet. Sensing
the joy in her mother's heart, Ryoko complied with a smile.

When all had gathered for the evening meal, everyone was slightly surprised when Washu and Katsuhito sat together at
the end of the dining room table. Then as the meal progressed and conversations lingered on normal topics discussed,
both Washu and Katsuhito called for everyone's attention.

"We have an announcement to all of you," came the now quivering voice of Washu.
As all eyes were upon them both changed to their true forms. Many gasps and other sounds of surprise were heard. Not
just at Washu's endowed state but at the youthful Priest now in front of them.

Ayeka was the first to speak. "What is this? Yousho, you're still ..... young? How? And Miss Washu what happened?"
said a now flustered and upset Princess.

"I have been like this for two months, I have been seeing Yousho for the last four." said Washu.

"But, why? What I mean is ,... well (rubbing the back of his head) Congratulations Grandpa, Washu!" said an excited
Tenchi.

"Mom, I'm happy for you!" Ryoko said as she then went over and hugged Washu. "I'm going to have a hard time
calling you Dad, so let's keep it as Yousho, if you're keeping this instead getup of that old man disguise."

"I am now keeping this as it is me." (He turned to Ayeka) "I am sorry sister for hiding myself as I did but I thought I
would never have to show my true self again. That is until Washu came into our lives." He held her hands throughout
this time.

Tenchi had also done something unheard of, putting an arm around Ayeka to comfort the now upset Princess. Also, he
offered his free hand to Ryoko who he knew might become jealous of his comforting her rival.

As all sat still stunned at the news , Mihoshi asked, "Oh, Miss Washu did you eat too much?" A loud grown echoed
through the house.

"No you ninny, I'm pregnant!" yelled an exasperated Washu.

"Oh, well that would explain your tummy, now wouldn't it." said a slowly understanding Mihoshi.

"Oh Dad, I am happy for you." (Shaking his hand) "I know Achika would have wanted you to have someone in you
life ," said a now crying Nobuyuki.

"Thank you son." was all he could say, teary eyed, remembering his daughter and his past wife.

"Well, when's the wedding ?" asked a curious Tenchi.

"I invited a friend from Kyoto to officiate and it will be this Saturday, up at the shrine." said Yousho.

"And before you ask in seven months I'll be a mommy again!" Washu announced looking at Mihoshi most of all.

"Oh my, we better get ready and start planning now." said an excited Sasami as all now focused on the wedding.
As the conversation went on inside the engaged couple were outside, admiring the view.

Washu was happy but worried. "You are worried I will not live long enough to take proper care of the baby aren't you
my love?" asked Yousho.

"How can you know that? We aren't bonded yet so you can't read my mind." asked a nervous Washu.

"I'm sure you'll think of something, (He smirked) at least to live enough for my child's wedding."

"Well you know, I, Washu the Greatest Genius in the Universe, will think of a way to keep you with me forever!"

"I thought you would say that." He then laughed with her cackling a moment later.

After a few moments the laughter subsided, Washu took Yousho's face in her hands and looked at him intently.
"Promise me, you'll never leave me. Promise me!"

Yousho responded in kind wrapping Washu in his strong arms and said,

"I promise to be there for as long as you shall have me and for as many babies as you want to have."

"Yyyyaaahhhooooooo!" was Washu's answer, followed by a very passionate kiss with the man she loved!!

The End, Short and Sweet! (FIN)
