Dragonball GT: Addition

Scatter and Bra

Bra reached out for the nightstand to put down 'Peter Pan' book, and tenderly began caressing the peacefully sleeping forms of her children Kitsune and Kakarot, bathed in the ginger illumination of the only lamp that was lit in the room. The twins were perfect replicas of their father, except for the ocean blue color of their eyes, the only phenotype that they took after her side of the family.

She looked with a glint of pride in her eyes at Kakarot who was softly snoring against the pillow beside her, the four year old cub had wanted to prove to her tonight that he was a full-fledged man by succeeding to stay up until the time that she was done with today's bedtime story, but in the end he couldn't put that much of a fight against the fog of slumber that easily engulfed his little mind. She sighed; personality-wise Kitsune was a clone of her father; stoic, independent, stubborn and pride- saturated; unlike her brother he refused to fully live out his childhood and always wanted to prove to the others, especially to his grandfather Vegeta whom he looked up and adored so much that he wasn't a kid anymore.

"Ice cream, cotton candy..." Kitsune mumbled in her sleep against Bra's enlarged stomach and licked the silk fabric of her robe, their grandparents Chichi and Bulma had taken them today to the amusement park and bought them a lot of candy, she combed her fingers through her soft blue hair lovingly; it was her luck that Saiyans were immune to dental caries and diabetes or she and her mother-in-law will be adamant on cutting out all the sugary treats from their diet.

She placed her palm against her tummy and sensed the rapidly growing Ki of her unborn daughter. Kitsune had been excited about the news and volunteered in helping her with picking up a name for her sister, well her suggestions were always swinging between female cartoon characters and her favorite snacks, Kakarot on the other hand had been disappointed, because he wanted a little brother that he could train and turn into super Saiyan, just like what he had heard his grandpa Vegeta did with his father.

Their father...She cast a glance at the clock on the wall, 10:05 pm. She was afraid if she closed her eyes now, morning will be what greets her when she opens them again.

Scatter stepped into his house like a cautious thief in the night, being careful not to wake his must-be sleeping family, even after seven years of marriage his mind couldn't believe the heaven that he had been granted; Kitsune, Kakarot, his unborn daughter...and Bra. She was his life artery, the only entity that made him content and whole.

He sighed protesting; it wasn't fair that their anniversary this year was in the middle of the week; they'll have to hit the pillows early so she could wake up tomorrow with the sun rise to prepare their breakfast and ready the kids for school. He smiled proudly despite of himself; Bra was a great mother and wife, she even went as far as to quit her work at Capsule Corp. after giving birth to the pint-sized so all of her time will be devoted for them.

He smiled slyly and closed his eyes as he took off his trench-coat and undid his tie, and began surveying for his mate's Ki. He climbed upstairs to the designated room, and smiled warmly and leant against the doorframe to further observe the beautiful scene that greeted him, they were all asleep on Kakarot's bed everyone holding onto the other. He tiptoed toward them and gently carried Kitsune to her bed, it then took some patience from him to untangle Kakarot's paw from its clutch on his wife's arm, he froze dead on his tracks as the kid's azure eyes fluttered open, Scatter frowned; Kakarot was a light sleeper, another trait from the Saiyan prince that didn't lose its way.

"Mom's been waiting for you?" Kakarot whispered sternly, giving him an intent look before he dove beneath the covers "Don't sleep before you talk to her."

Scatter blinked and turned towards his wife, he scooped her up gently in his arms and carried her to their room. He laid her on their bed and smirked impishly as he decided to use her trade mark way of waking him up every morning, showering her neck with butterfly kisses. Bra giggled lightly in response after a moment and moaned before she smiled and opened her eyes for him.

"Hey." She greeted groggily, as she stretched out and rubbed the sleep off her eyes.

"Happy anniversary darling." Scatter placed a purple pouch in her hand and gave her a light kiss on the lips.

Bra smiled unsurely at him and loosened the knot around the pouch's neck, her mouth parted as she lifted the present that shone dazzlingly in the silver light of the stars, it was a black choker and in the middle of it dangled a garnet that was set in gold.

"It's beautiful Scatter." She commented with fascination "Where did you find it?"

"I was sparring some months ago with Gohan and Krillin in the far desert, and spotted it between the debris of a mountain that had been blown due to me dodging one of Krillin's blasts." Scatter answered as he began running his fingers through her silky tresses "I then took it to a jeweler to inspect it and he told me that the gemstone was a garnet."

"Maybe Krillin should've kept it for 18." Bra proclaimed as she brushed her thumb against the soft surface of the jewel "It was his blast that unveiled the gemstone."

"18 isn't one to care that much about jewelry. Besides, I bet she would've preferred it adorning your neck. You have no idea how much she respects you, especially after you've chosen family over work."

"So that explains it." Bra laughed "She was reprimanding Marron the other day that she had to follow my example and quit her work to pay more attention to Gotenks, I was a little embarrassed." Gotenks the four years old son of her brother and Marron was a mini version of the fusion between Trunks and Goten with the same troublesome attitude, except his hair was entirely lavender and had the lapis lazuli color of 18's eyes.

Scatter looked at her uncertain for a while then smiled as he stroked her cheek "You should get some sleep."

"I can take a nap after you all go tomorrow." Bra retorted as she began unbuttoning his shirt and stroke the muscular skin behind it.

Scatter moaned and captured her lips and began undoing the tie that secured her robe, he tilted back her head making the kiss deeper and domineering, he held her both wrists in his hand and descended their bodies towards the mattress.

After regaining her breath, Bra climbed on top of her mate and folded her arms above his massive, sweaty chest, resting her chin on them.

"Did work go well?" She asked him softly, tracing his jaw.

"Uh huh." Scatter replied as he stroked her messy hair "But work is the last thing I want to talk about tonight, how your day went with the kids?"

"I went shopping with Pan while Chi Chi and Bulma took the kids to the amusement park." Bra answered "They loved the roller-coaster, but your mother didn't let them ride more than once, and they whined on them to dine at McDonald's, but Chi Chi insisted that they eat an organic healthy meal at their house. I have to agree with her; I don't want our children to get used to greasy, over-salted food."

"What part did I miss today of Peter Pan?" Scatter loved watching her and hearing her voice when she reads to the kids.

"We've reached the part when Peter asks the children of the world if they liked fairies, Kitsune felt sorry for Tinker Bell, but Kakarot thought that the 'brat' got what she deserved, for what she did to Wendy."

"I bet your father would concur to that!" Scatter laughed.

"I guess he would." Bra chuckled seeing his point, and rolled over to her side.

Scatter rested his head on his palm and began caressing her stomach under the wrinkled sheets, "Any luck with finding a name yet?"

"Not so much. Kitsune wants to name her from these two female ninjas from a show she watches." Bra closed her eyes under his touch, his hands were always warm no matter what season it was. Scatter smiled.

"Tenten and Ino, huh?" Scatter wrinkled his nose "Not really good."

Bra then smiled softly at him. "You watch that show too, huh?"

Scatter nodded. "I was wondering where Kitsune got her moves."

"How 'bout Kisa?" Bra asked.

"Kisa?" Scatter contemplated "It has a nice ring to it, Kisa. How did you come up with it?"

"Kakarot suggested it."

"Really?" Scatter chuckled with disbelief "He came to me the other day and scolded me to why I made you pregnant with a girl."

"How did he get the idea?" Bra raised an eye brow.

"He and Kitsune had asked Gohan in their own childish way: what the thing that decides for women to be pregnant with boys or girls, and the professor explained to them scientifically, of course giving them the innuendo-free version."

"I love those two." Bra said solemnly "I always feel a horrible emptiness after I'm done with my chores, and no one is there to keep me company until you drive them back from school, except my father when he comes over for a refill at lunch time. My mother is determined to get him to learn how to cook. He cheats by coming over here to eat."

"Kisa will be a handful to you after she is born and you'll barely spare a minute for us." Scatter tried to cheer her up.

"Yeah, and it worries me that it will spark jealousy among my other children, and make them dislike their little sister." Bra sighed worriedly.

"Don't worry; you're a wonderful mother and I'm sure you'll manage out that they'll treasure her." Scatter reassured her.

"I hope so." Bra mumbled, fighting off sleep and in the next moment she was drowned in a sea of dreams.

Scatter tucked her tenderly and brushed a stray of hair away from her mouth; his hand reached out for the switch of the lamp and was lulled to slumber by her soft breathing and the beating of her heart.
