I don't know if something like this has been done before.
1. Soun's wife died before she was able to give birth to Nabiki and Akane.
2. After Nodoka remarries, they give birth to two daughters.
3. Ranma is born earlier, so he's older than Kasumi.
Or they may consider the pact fulfilled since the two girls could be seen as products of the schools being "joined".
The reason I'm reconsidering though is because I think it a bit difficult to consider those two daughters as Nabiki and Akane.
Some idea that just occurred to me. I don't know if something like this has been done before.

(Akane, Nabiki and Kasumi were also present from his first marriage.) For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the story or find it, though. (I suppose it wasn't good enough to bookmark.) I do distinctly remember that none of the kiddies cared much for Nodoka, and one recurring theme concerned things that ruined what Nodoka wanted (like raising Sakura to be a "proper" lady, as opposed to upholding a martial art family's legacy).
Did lead me to thinking of a story where during things in Nerima Genma suddenly panics over something and he convinces Ranma that they have to fake their deaths to get away for awhile while it cools down. Plan succeeds.. a little too well and by the time Ranma gets sick of Genma and decides to return, he finds out that everyone has kind of moved on, and the reason was some trivial thing that Genma blew out of proportion. Like some 1000 yen bill.

The basic outline starts by,
either A: Genma and Ranma are considered legally dead after being declared missing by Nodoka because she received no news from them for more than a year.
or B: Genma bits off more that he can chew with some debtor and has to fake their death to escape. Nodoka is notified and called to identify them, but the bodies were beyond recognition.
Maximara wrote:A. The rule of thumb is seven years not one is required to declare someone legally dead. Also from what I can tell in the manga canon Nodoka didn't get any news from Genma and Ranma during the training trip which went from when Ranma was able to walk to about 17 so were are talking around thirteen years easy.
Crescent Pulsar S wrote:I just wanted to make a correction here: Genma sent letters to Nodoka regularly, up until their training trip took them to Jusenkyo (which Genma mentioned in his last letter).
(The other, less substantial evidence of Genma's contact with Nodoka is when he sent her the Umisen-ken scroll and telling her to get rid of it. Which might be telling about their level of communication, since Genma could have easily destroyed the scroll himself.)
