A Family Of My Own
A/N: I have always wondered to myself how Gohan had proposed to Videl, and also the events that took place from there engagement up to the birth of there daughter Pan. Here's how I believe these things happened.

"This" is talking
This is thinking
Chapter 1: Getting In The Way
"I can't thank you enough Bulma." said the 22 year old Gohan as he put on his coat.
"No problem kid, it's the least I can do for you two love birds."
Gohan blushed at that statement, it wasn't because he was embarrassed it was because he was nervous, tomorrow was the day he would ask Videl to marry him. The two have been dating for three years since the defeat of Majin Buu. Only two people knew he was going to pop the question. Bulma, who helped him pick out the ring, and the other was someone he prayed would keep his mouth shut.
"BRAT!"
Gohan's ears were ringing after that loud scream. "What Vegeta?" He was praying that he wouldn't find out he was here. But sadly he did and Gohan knew what was coming.
Vegeta entered the room where Bulma and Gohan were talking. "Get you ass in the gravity chamber now, I'm sick and tired of fighting Kakorot."
"Sick and tired of fighting Goku? Who are you and what have you done with my husband?" Bulma said sarcastically.
"I just need a change of pace. Kakorot and I always end in a draw, today I want to win."
As badly as Gohan wanted to kick his ass, he knew he had to get going. "Sorry Vegeta, I have something important to do. Next time I promise" Gohan said as he got up and headed for the door.
"I know brat, you have to go and ask that girl to become your mate. Well your free to go"
Sweet, I can't believe Vegeta is just gonna let me leave like this. I guess he has a heart after all.
"But-"
I spoke to soon.
"-if you leave I'll call up the girl and spoil your little surprise" Vegeta went for the phone.
Fear and anger swept across Gohan's face. "Don't do it Vegeta."
"Then get in the chamber, boy."
Gohan closed the door and took the ring out of his pocket. He took off his jacket and walked with his head down. "Fuck you" he whispered as he walked past Vegeta.
Vegeta laughed, "Save your anger for our match."
Once Gohan was out of sight Vegeta went to the fridge and looked for a bottle of water. But as soon as he found one he was hit with a surprise.
*BANG*
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR WOMEN." Vegeta yelled as he rubbed the new bump growing on his head.
Bulma was holding a frying pan and smacking it against her other hand. "How dare you do that to Gohan. He has to plan a romantic evening for himself and Videl and you go and force him to fight. This is an important part of his life and your can't give him a break, this whole situation is very stressful on him."
"Like I give a shit, the brat knows that she'll say yes so what's the big deal."
"Your such and asshole, I don't know what I ever saw in you."
Vegeta smirked at that, "You know you love my good looks and fiery attitude." Bulma couldn't help but laugh at what he just said. "And just what is so damn funny women?" he yelled with a red face.
"Oh nothing my prince, just hurry up with your fight so Gohan can get to work on planning his big night." Vegeta started to walk towards the GR. " Oh and Vegeta."
Vegeta turned around "No GR for a week after this, I think that's a fair punishment for your rudeness."
Vegeta was about to object but he stopped after hearing the crack of the pan hitting the counter top. That brat doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Marriage is a harder fight then anything he's ever faced before. Even Kakorot and myself lose constantly. He smirked, Good luck brat.
Gohan was stretching in the GR, he knew there was no way out of this he was going to have to fight Vegeta. Just then he herd the mechanical doors open and saw a certain fiery haired prince.
"Lets get this over with Vegeta."
Vegeta just grunted and walked over to the big gravity control machine in the center of the room. He clicked some buttons and then the room started to change to a red color and the gravity started to increase.
Gohan was barely able to stand up. He looked over to the machine and saw it set for 400 times earths normal gravity. Gohan quickly powered up and regained his composure.
"I take it that means your ready brat." Vegeta said as he powered up himself.
"Ready when you are, bring it on."
Vegeta nodded his head and the two charged at each other and there fists collided.
"Mom I'm home and I brought Goten."
The lavender haired 11 year old didn't get an answer as he walked through the door and threw his school bag on the floor. Walking behind him was the younger brother of Gohan. The now 10 year old Goten was finally starting to look different then his father, now that he had long and wild hair. He actually looked like Gohan when he trained with Goku in the hyperbolic time chamber.
"Can we eat something Trunks?"
"Sure Goten just look in the fridge."
Goten started to head to the kitchen when something on the couch caught his eye. "Hey Trunks, look its my brother's jacket."
"I didn't know he came back from college." said the confused Trunks.
"I knew he was coming back sometime this week, but mom told me he was coming back Friday."
"But why would he come here, wouldn't he go visit your parents or Videl first?"
"Maybe he needed to talk to your mom about something." Goten said as he started going through his brothers pockets. "I bet he has a present in here for me somewhere."
Just then he felt a strange small box, he pulled it out and opened it to reveal a ring. "A ring. Why would he get me a ring. I'm a boy I don't wear jewelry."
"Maybe its for your mom or Videl."
This made Goten angry, why would he get them stuff but not him. "That's not fair. He gets mom, dad and Videl stuff all the time but he never gets me shit." He put the ring is his pocket. "Let's see how much he likes it when I take his stupid ring."
Trunks just shrugged it off, he knew that Goten would give it back later. He was never the kid to do bad things, especially to Gohan. "You want to go to my room and play video games?"
"YEAH"
The two half-sayians ran through the halls and into Trunks' room.
"There's no way that's all you have in you brat" Vegeta laughed as Gohan was on the ground breathing deeply. Vegeta was in his Super Sayian form while Gohan was still in his base form.
Gohan powered up and charged at the prince, who vanished out of the way and reappeared behind Gohan. He saw this coming and turned around to dodge the punch Vegeta threw and kicked him in the side. "You little shit." Vegeta said through his teeth and he grabbed Gohan's leg and slammed him into the ground.
Vegeta laughed. "The girl will never become your mate if your this weak."
Gohan was mad. No he was furious. Just then his power level started to rise and he started to scream. "Wh-what is this? His power is growing. Its even more powerful then Kakorots Super Sayian 3."
Gohan finished powering up and was standing there in his Mystic form, the power that the Elder Kai had released was out for the first time since he fought Majin Buu. "Ready to
lose?" Gohan said with a smile on his face.
He charged at Vegeta with such amazing speed. Next thing Vegeta knew, Gohan had a fist in his gut. He gasped for air and Gohan pulled his hand away. He clenched his hands together and slammed them into his back, sending Vegeta into the ground.
Vegeta slowly got up and charged up to fire a blast at Gohan. "Get ready brat cause I'm not holding back." His hands started to glow. "FINAL FLASH!" The beam shot out of his hands and headed towards Gohan.
"KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The two beams collided in the middle and exploded on contact. Gohan then speed through the smoke and launched Vegeta in the air with a powerful kick. He then just stood there and watched Vegeta hit the ground with a loud thud.
Gohan walked over to the machine and pushed the big red button. The gravity in the room slowly started to turn back to normal till the screen said 1G. Gohan powered down and walked towards the door, he turned around and looked at Vegeta. He reached in his pocket and tossed him a senzu bean.
"Don't challenge me again." And he walked out the door.
When Gohan walked out he popped a senzu bean in his mouth, he felt his energy come back and felt better then ever. I think its time I go visit mom, dad and Goten. I bet they'll be happy to see me.
Just as he walked into the main room he saw Goten and Trunks sitting at the table waiting for Bulma to finish cooking them food.
"Hey there Gohan." Trunks said as he ran over to hug the big half-sayian.
"Hi Trunks, Its good to see you." He looked over and saw his brother sitting at the table with a pout on his face and his arms crossed. "What's wrong Goten?"
"Shut up."
Gohan was caught off guard by this, his brother had always been the sweetest boy in the world. Guess it happens when you get older. "I know what will cheer you up."
Goten raised an eyebrow and looked as his older brother walked over to his bag on the floor. He put something behind his back and walked over to Goten and he revealed an envelope. "What's this?" asked Goten.
"Just open it, I guarantee you'll love it."
Goten opened the envelope and pulled out two tickets to the Titans playoff game. Goten screamed. "Wow Gohan, how did you get these? This game was sold out. Wow and there right behind home plate. Thank you Gohan."
"No problem buddy." He said as he rubbed a hand through his hair. He knew that Goten had become a big baseball fan over the past few years, so he tried to get tickets. But when he herd the game was sold out he asked the former Titan, Yamcha, for help. Shortly after this Goten put another frown on his face.
"What's wrong now."
Goten walked over to his brother and pulled the ring box out of his pocket and handed it to Gohan.
Gohan looked at the box in his hand and was about to flip out, his face turned red and his eyes narrowed to a glare. But then he looked at his brother's sorry face and smiled. He patted his brother on the head. Goten looked up at him "Your not mad?"
"No, you gave it back to me. Just promise you won't steal my stuff again."
"I promise"
Gohan gave his brother a hug then looked at his watch. "Oh shit"
"LANGUAGE" yelled Bulma
"Sorry. I gotta go guys" He gave Goten, Trunks and Bulma each a hug. "I'm gonna go home and visit mom and dad. I'll tell mom you're here, alright Goten."
"She knows. Me and Trunks are having a sleepover"
"Ok well have fun. Bye Bulma, thanks again."
"No problem kid, just don't forget to call Videl so you can plan your special evening."
"I won't. I'll see you later."
Gohan ran out the door and shot into the sky. He flew full speed to the small house in the mountains.
A/N: Hope you guys liked it. I'll try to make the action scenes better in the future. Also don't forget to review, even if its bad, (doesn't mean you can curse me out, but feel free to I love a good laugh now and then) I can use the constructive criticism. I'll try to update once a week but I can't make any promises.
