Daniel and Johnny were notorious for their rivalry at the Cobra Kai dojo. However, they found themselves in a peculiar situation that was about to change their relationship forever.

It all started when Daniel discovered that he was pregnant. At first, he thought it was impossible, but Johnny, having experienced something similar, reassured him.

The men decided to hide the pregnancy from the others at the dojo. Preparations were made, distracting activities planned, but the secret was harder to keep than they thought.

First to notice was Sam, Daniel's daughter from a previous relationship. She saw that her father's stomach was slightly rounder and saw him often placing his hand on his stomach.

Next, Miguel, a Miyagi-claw student, picked up on Daniel's fatigue and odd cravings. He was quick to connect the dots but chose to keep his findings a secret.

Wren, a female student with sensitive hearing, was the third to discover the secret. She could hear the baby's heartbeat while practicing near Daniel during a meditation session.

Even the dojo's cat, Rocky II, picked up on the change. The feline would lay in Daniel's lap and butt his head against Daniel's stomach, purring with contentment.

Despite their efforts, Daniel and Johnny found it increasingly difficult to maintain their secret. The students were clever, observant, and their suspicions were on the rise.

The duo tried to downplay the issue, attributing Daniel's changes to a new training regime. But the whispers continued to spread throughout the dojo, fueled by more observations.

It wasn't long before even the sternest of Daniel's students began to question. After all, his glowing complexion, rounder physique, and mood swings were hard to ignore.

Their constant reassurances and excuses started to crack under the students' scrutiny. On the other hand, Daniel found himself in a peculiar mix of worry and bliss.

As the news spread, instead of the expected ridicule, the dojo became a place of support and curiosity. Johnny and Daniel were surprised at the reception.

Days turned into weeks, and Daniel’s condition became apparent. His karate gi barely fit him now, and he wasn't able to perform complex moves as he used to.

On April 26th, during a regular training session, Daniel started having contractions. Johnny, understanding the situation, quickly sprung into action to help him.

Miguel and Sam immediately called for medical help while the others did their best to make Daniel comfortable. Despite the painful contractions, Daniel was calmer than anyone in the room.

Five torturous hours passed before Ariel Lynn LaRusso was born. She had Daniel's curly brown hair and Johnny's bright blue eyes. The dojo was filled with joyous relief.

Ariel Lynn was held carefully by Daniel, tears of joy welled up in his eyes. The baby's adorable coos filled the silent room, making everyone smile.

Johnny watched as Daniel cradled Ariel Lynn, a soft smile on his face. He felt an inexplicable bond with the little girl, a connection he didn't expect to feel.

The students soon started to gather around, curious to see the newborn. Each had a soft smile, glad to see the safe arrival of Ariel Lynn.

Even Rocky II, the dojo cat, approached curiously, his large eyes filled with intrigue at the sight of the baby. He sniffed Ariel Lynn gently before purring contentedly.

The dojo, once a place of fierce competition, had now softened with the introduction of Ariel Lynn. It had become a second home for her, offering a sense of family.

Johnny and Daniel's relationship had also evolved. They had become co-parents, putting aside their rivalry and working together for the wellbeing of Ariel Lynn and the dojo.

Sam, Miguel, and the others had also become more than just Daniel's students. They were now Ariel Lynn's extended family, sharing the joy and responsibilities alike.

As time passed, the dojo grew more vibrant and lively with Ariel Lynn's presence. Her giggles and coos were now an integral part of the dojo's atmosphere.

Daniel and Johnny, once fierce rivals, were now happy co-parents. Their unique journey had taught them and the others a new aspect of life, love, and family.

Indeed, their journey was an unexpected one, but as they watched Ariel Lynn in the dojo, surrounded by her new family, they knew they wouldn't change a thing.
