Which brought her to her current predicament. The one

"Mousse if you would please dislodge Shampoo from the
customer," Cologne said dryly. The blind boy nodded
and moved to grab Shampoo, and found himself grabbed
instead, as the scream of pain testified.
At least it got her off the customer.
Cologne hadn't yet figured out exactly how the
son-in-law had called down a divine curse on her
{: greatgrand-}daughter to alter the Jusenkyo magic. She did know
why, however, and after hearing about the whole story
was, to put it mildly quite disappointed with her
{: great}grand-daughter. The changes were still reversed with
hot-water, but now there were two changes.
"Whatta a haul," Happosai declared cheerfully. "What a
haul! Hee hee. Not so fun without the games any
longer, but some of the second-stringers around {her : here}
can be fun."
They had spent the last year {several times : normally :} sleeping in
the same bed, but just that, sleeping. Nothing else
the rest of the Nerima crew might have been thinking.
It just made it safer for Midori to be between the two
adults, that's all.
"Hey Megumi," Ranma said. "Who was the little kid that
came back here and then went running." He looked
around at the various faces, confused. "Did I miss
something?"
Ranma shouldn't have to ask. <G>
Raising Midori's apparent age past infancy definitely works better.
"Okay everyone," Megumi said. "These are my
housemates, Ranma, Nabiki and Midori Tanaka. And this
is my brother, Keiichi. His girlfriend, Belldandy,
and her {sister's : sisters} Urd and Skuld." She gestured toward
each person in turn.
Who is Beldandy's sister that Urd and Skuld belong to?
"I am pleased to meet you," Belldandy said, bowing
politely. Urd waved and seemed to be trying to
dissect ({oer : or} maybe dismantle) them visually.
"Just figure out who these gods are and what
they're doing her," Urd asked. "There's something odd
about two gods with an infant daughter coming to
{midgard : Midgard}."
"Do mortals go without food for {a :} ten months?"
Nabiki countered. "Because, before that meal with
Megumi yesterday, that was the last time either of us
had eaten anything."
"Oh yeah," Ranma said. "Did you notice they have
those same marks on their {head : face : faces} that we do?"
"Yeah, you do that and I'll get my shower," Nabiki
said, patting Ranma on the shoulder.
Ranma and Nabiki already had their showers. Maybe she can finish getting
their bed ready.
They were fast asleep when Midori yawned awake
slowly and sat up in her new crib, what strange and
fascinating thing. For a moment she was nervous,
where were her mommy and daddy.
Midori yawned as woke up later that night and wiped
at her eyes. She looked at the safety bars for a
moment in puzzlement before finding the "childproof,
hidden" latch and unlocking it. She slipped out of
bed and rubbed at her eyes some more as she walked to
through the darkness to where her parents were. She
opened the door quietly and yawned loudly
You have Midori waking twice. The first paragraph isn't necessary.
