Tenchi thought about what Washu had said. That he will never know the joy of carrying a life in his body. The fact that Washu was afraid of having another baby was upsetting to Tenchi. Her only child was taken away from her, just because the man she married was a prince of some planet...and the child couldn't stay with his mother. Washu had told Tenchi all about this after Taro had left. Taro was Tenchi's aunt's son, and Washu grew quite fond of Taro in the last few days he was with them. Why, Taro even started to call Washu "Mama". That's when Washu told Tenchi all about her first child. It had brought tears to Washu as she told Tenchi that. That was the first time that Washu offered herself to Tenchi...much to the annoyance of Ryoko and Ayeka. Washu told Tenchi that the child was her first biological child...Ryoko had been made from her egg cells and the cells form a Masu. Ryoko had no father in the usual sense.
"What are you thinking about, Tenchi?" asked Washu.
"About what you said" said Tenchi, snapping out of his thoughts. He gazed into those emerald green eyes of Washu. Whenever he did this, he was memsberized. In fact, if anyone looked at Washu in the eyes, they too become memsberized. It was as if....
"Are you alright, Tenchi?" asked Washu.
"Oh, yes" said Tenchi. Washu smirked.
Washu and Tenchi were on the bed, holding each other close.
"So...how do I become your baby, exactly?" asked Tenchi.
"You won't become my baby" giggled Washu. "you'll always be your mother's son. Well, I made an invention that allows you to go into my womb"
Tenchi's eyes grew as big as quarters, making Washu laugh.
"You must be joking" said Tenchi.
"I never joke about my inventions" said Washu.
"About your inventions..." said Tenchi. "why..?"
"Don't you like my inventions?" said Washu, pouting a bit.
"Well...some of them" said Tenchi.
"Aha" said Washu. "so you only like Ryo-oh-ki"
"No, no" said Tenchi. "that's not what I meant...I.."
Washu shushed Tenchi by putting one of her fingers to his mouth. Again, Tenchi gazed into the eyes of Washu. It was like looking at a deep dark pool with no bottom to it. You could lose yourself in those eyes.
"So..wanna be my adoptive son?" asked Washu with a playfull grin on her face.
"How can I...?" started Tenchi.
"Don't worry" said Washu. "you'll survive"
