A/N: This takes place 3 years after 'Wolf'. You don't need to read 'Wolf' to understand this but it couldn't hurt to do so. :Wink, Wink:

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up? I'll show you mine if you show me yours first We live on front porches and swing life away, I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move I've got some friends, some that I hardly know We live on front porches and swing life away, I'll show you mine if you show me yours first We live on front porches and swing life away, Swing life away
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's un-write these pages and replace them with our own words
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand...until you hold my hand
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Swing life away
Swing life away
Swing life away
Rise Against: Swing Life Away

"You'll have the life I never had," Kage whispered softly hold the sleeping child close to his chest while he slowly rocked on the porch swing, "I want you to be happy with whatever you do in life…"

Piccolo looked around the room with mild amusement; of course he wouldn't let that show on his face. He shifted Hizashi in his arms, the little boy looking at everything and everyone in amazement.
"Da?" He looked up at Piccolo with large blue eyes and pointed at Kage standing in a corner trying not to look nervous. This was his day; he had proposed to Andy several days after having Hizashi; it was something he had learned about after watching one too many soap operas. Or that's what he had told everyone… But a year and a half later here they were, all the men standing around in monkey suits looking happy but uncomfortable.
Piccolo nodded, "Yes, that's your father." He smiled lightly at the little boy; how Kage did it he'll never know. The child he was holding in his arms was growing at the normal speed a human child would and he had blue eyes.
Hizashi giggled hugging Piccolo around the neck, "Grin-pa!" He gurgled then turned his attention to the miniature black suit he was wearing, "Uhh!"
"I know," Piccolo grumbled walking towards Kage, "I don't know how your father convinced us to wear these."
Kage turned and grinned at the two before taking Hizashi from his father's arms, "Thanks dad," He said looking a little more relaxed, "I really appreciate you coming."
Piccolo smirked, "I wouldn't miss it kid."
Ganjo slapped Kage on the back, "Hey there 'Zashi!" He made a face at Hizashi making the child laugh and reach up towards his face.
"'Jo!" He gurgled.
Ganjo laughed and patted the boy's head, "When did he learn to talk?"
Kage shrugged, "A couple of days ago, he just started babbling out random words."
The light hum of music grew louder, Kage's happy face turned nervous and anxious suddenly, "Dad." He said looking to his father.
Piccolo took Hizashi from Kage's arms, "You'll be fine," He smiled lightly, "remember, this human ceremony was your decision."
"No cold feet now Kage," Ganjo grinned grabbing Kage's arm and pulled him away, "Come on, your bride's coming!"
Kage threw his father a grin as Piccolo took his seat with Hizashi on his lap. The child giggled and laughed clapping his hands when he saw Andy walk by in a beautiful white gown, she smiled down at him and waved making Hizashi giggle more.
"Ma!" He gurgled.
Kage blushed lightly at seeing Andy, "Wow…" He breathed.
How Kage did it he'll never know; Piccolo watched as Kage nervously fished out a ring from his pocket and laughed nervously; he being an asexual never supposed to know what love was had learned it. Piccolo glanced down at the little Namekian child on his lap, Kage had done well… and this little one would be the first Namekian child to be raised with a father and a mother.
Hizashi looked up at Piccolo curiously, his eyes sparkling from the overhead lights, "Pa!" He grinned poking at Piccolo's face.
Guess he'll make it.
