Unto Us a Child is Born J: (walking around the house) Heeeere, kitty, kitty, kitty! Here, kitty! (silence) J: Come ‘ere! Come ‘ere, kitty! *whistles* A: *purr, purr, purr* J: Heeere, kitty, kitty! A: (leaps out of the closet and tackles Justin) RAAR!! J: AAH!! A: (has Justin pinned to the ground, biting and tugging his collar) Grrrr! J: GrrrrRAAR!! (whips around and tries to get Aisha into a headlock) The two play-fight for a while, rolling around and pawing each other. A: (on top of Justin) *purr, purr, purr* (licks Justin’s nose) J: Man, this is kinda fun having the house to ourselves. Now I know how parents feel when their kids go off to college. A: Speaking of kids.... (slides her hand down his side and towards his pants) J: Whoa! No! Down girl! A: *giggles* I’m only kidding. J: I’ve told you before. This’ll have to do for now. (kisses Aisha) Mmm.... A: Mmm... mfmm... J: (scratches her ear) A: *purr, purr, purr* (coils her tail around his leg) J: This works for DJ. No reason it shouldn’t work for me. (runs his finger down Aisha’s spine) A: (arches her back, moans softly) Ohh. J: Nice. A: (starts licking his face) J: (brushes her hair) A: OH! (looks down) J: Huh? A: (smirks) Down boy. J: *blushes* Indeed. (quickly sits up) Gomenasai. Later... (Tenchi’s house) “DING DONG!” T: (opens the door) Hey, Wahlne! J: ‘Sup, Masaki? (holding several packages) A: Hi, Tenchi! (holding pacakges as well) T: Hey, Aisha. Come in, please. Can I get you guys anything? J: No thanks. We won’t be here long. Just dropping off our Christmas gifts. (living room) T: Just set them right over there. S: Justin! (runs up) J: Sasami-chan! (hugs Sasami) W: Justin! Aisha! What a coinci..... what a surprise! J: Same here. I thought you’d be at DJ’s. W: I’m just checking in on a little project. J: Well, we’re just passing through, too. Just making a special delivery. S: Aww. Do you guys really have to go? T: Yeah, Wahlne. Stay a while. We don’t see much of you anymore. A: Yeah, c’mon Justin! J: OK. Three against one. 25 minutes later... Sasami, Aisha, and Justin are all playing Metroid Prime 2. Ozz and Ryo-ohki are play fighting in the corner. O: (wrestling with Ryo-ohki) Grrrrr. R-O: Rrrreow. J: Hey! No fair ganging up on me! A: We’re not. It’s just you’re such an easy target. J: Honto? Try and hit this. (turns into a morph ball) A: Come back here, coward! J: (rolls through a power up) Yeah! Dark beam! Time to frag! “BOOOM!! Beeeyooo.... blip.” J: What the!? S: (with annihilator beam) Heehee. ^_^ J: Grrrrr! You’re lucky you’re cute. A: Thank you! ^_^ J: Um.... Don’t say a word, boy. “Waaaaaaa!” A: (ears twitch) Nya? J: Eh? W: Oh, the baby’s awake. (runs upstairs) J: Baby? Tenchi, I didn’t know your cousin was here. T: Who? Taro? He’s not here. J: Huh? W: (walks down carrying a small figure in a blanket) J and A: (get up and walk over) J: Washu..... is that.... DJ’s? W: (shakes her head) J: Hmm? (looks over and sees a baby with brown hair and tan skin) Aww. Hey, Masaki! Who’s the lucky girl? W: Actually,.... this one’s Aisha’s. J: WHAT!?!?! A: WHAT!?!?! W: And yours, Justin. A: WHAT!?!?! J: WHAT!?!?! J and A: (exchange looks of confussion) J: But we..... we nev...... how di............. WHAT!?! W: Well, I was so interrested in the possibilities of a Ctarl-Human hybrid, I combined your DNAs, and, well,....... she’s what came out. A: (quietly) She? J: Combined our..... now, I probably know how you got my DNA, but where’d you get Aisha’s!? W: One of her hairs was on the shirt. J: Washu, how could you do something like....!? A: (interrupting) Can I hold her? J: Buh!? (looks at Aisha) W: Of course. (hands Aisha the baby) J: (sputtering flusteredly) Washu, I...... I can’t...... I....... errrr............. I need to sit. (sits on the floor) A: What’s her name? W: Well, since you two are the parents, I was thinking you should name her. J: Um.... uh..... bi... uh.... A: How about “Kida”? J: Um.... W: That’s a very pretty name. A: Justin? J: Um.... uh.... A: (ears droop) Nya? Justin, what’s wrong? J: ........ A: Isn’t this great? We have a daughter. J: (stands up) Well, technically, she’s not really our daughter. A: How can you say that? She’s made from our DNAs. How does that not make her our child? J: She’s not our child, Aisha, she’s just.... one of Washu’s experiments. A: *gasp* J: Oh god. Why did I just say that? A: (steps back, eyes start to moisten, looks at the baby, then looks at Justin angrily) *sniff* (runs upstairs) “SLAM!” J: (throws himself on the couch, starts slapping his forehead) Baka! Baka! BAKA! GRRRRR!! W: (sits down next to him) I’m sorry, Justin. J: Huh? W: It was a very selfish thing for me to do. I guess I let my scientific curiosity get the better of me. J: Washu, just........*sigh* give me a minute. W: Sure. (leaves) J: *deep breath* (upstairs) A: (rocking the baby) You’re so beautiful. W: Aisha? A: Oh, Washu. How could he say something like that? W: I’m sure he didn’t mean it. Justin does have a tendancy to get overwhelmed. This is all just hitting him really hard, really fast. A: ........ W: (sits next to her) She’s really cute, isn’t she? A: She’s wonderful. W: I was planning on keeping her here, but if you really want to take her and care for her, it’s only fair. A: ........ W: I’m not trying to force anyone’s hand here, Aisha. A: I want to, but.... W: I can understand what you’re feeling. A: ....... (under her breath) You have no idea. W: Huh? J: (softly) Excuse me? W and A: (look up) J: Can I see my daughter? W: (gets up) Certainly. J: (walks in, sits next to Aisha) W: I’ll leave you two alone. (walks towards the door, looks back at Justin and Aisha, smiles and leaves) J: She’s so cute. A: (nods) J: ....... Look! She has ears just like yours. A: .... And she has your eyes. J: Huh? (looks closer) Brown eyes. You’re right. K: Mmm? (paws at Justin) A: *giggles* She knows her daddy. J: Daddy?......... (smiles) Yeah. Hey there, sweetie. I’m..... I’m your daddy. Wow. I never thought I’d be saying that right before I turned 22. A: *sigh* Our little Kida. J: Why “Kida”? A: Nya? J: What made you choose that name? A: Oh, it’s..... it comes from an ancient Ctarl word. It means “joy”. J: (nods) Beautiful. What does “Aisha” mean? A: Um.... you’d laugh. J: Try me. A: ....... It means “flower”. J: ......... (nods) Deservedly so. A: Nya? J: My flower. (brushes her hair back) My beautiful flower. A: *blushes* Washu said..... she could keep her here. But..... if we wanted to... J: Well, what do you want to do, Aisha? A: (looks at Kida) ........ (outside) W: (holding Kida) I’ll take good care of her. I promise you. J: Thanks again, Washu. W: You two take care of yourselves. J: You too. We’ll see you later, little Kida. (kisses her forehead) K: ^.^ A: (leans in, kisses Kida, whispers) Be safe, my little one. J: Bye everybody! Merry Christmas! Masaki Clan: (waving good-bye) Merry Christmas! W: (holding up Kida’s hand) Say ‘bye-bye’ to mommy and daddy. K: (waves) J and A: (walking back) J: ........ A: ........ J: That must’ve been very hard for you. A: (head down) .... It was. But.... J: Hmm? A: ..... Having a child is a wonderful thought, but...... we’re just not ready. We can’t support a baby. Let alone have... um. J: Huh? A: ... have enough room. J: “Enough room?” We have an empty guest room at the house. A: Nya.... well, you know what I mean. J: Hmm.... Well, we left Kida in very capable hands. Washu’s excellent with babies. She’ll know what to do. And we can come back and see her anytime. A: (starts to smile) Right. J: Heh! I said a lot of things today that I never thought I’d say before I was married. Actually, there was a lot I hoped I’d never say when I only had a girlfriend. A: Nya? J: But this is different. I’m actually.... (stops, looks back) I’m actually kinda glad this happened. A: (smiles) J: (puts his arm around Aisha) C’mon. We still have to drop off Makoto’s gifts.
