Chapter 2: Meet The Briefs
It had been 3 years now since the twins were born and today they would finally meet the Briefs family. Both toddlers were extremely excited. Especially Goten who at the moment couldn't stay still for the life of him. It took both Chi chi and Gohan to dress him. Mailine had already been ready for sometime now. She had gotten up early and got ready while everyone was still asleep. Just like her younger brother she was very excited. It wasn't often they met anyone their own age. Actually they had NEVER met anyone even close to their age. Gohan was their only playmate and although Gohan was lots of fun he had studies most of the time and couldn't always play.
Once Goten was finally dressed Chi chi beamed at the two children. She would have never expected to ever have another child again when Goku died, let alone two more, but here she was mother of three now. She was quiet happy with the three but found it hard sometimes when the twins or even Gohan would do something or say something that reminded her of her late husband. She would never openly admit to them how much she missed their father fearing they might think they didn't make her happy enough or in anyway making them sad.
She frowned a bit for a moment and Gohan noticed. ::She's thinking of him again...:: .
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Gohan asked knowing full well that she must be thinking of his father again. He had noticed that same look on her face many times before when she'd look at him or the twins. It hurt him to see his mother sad over his fathers death but knew there was nothing any of them could do to change that. He had made up his mind that he was gonna do his very best with his studies and help around the house as much as possible the day he had told her his father was dead and wasn't coming back this time. She was a complete mess for 3 weeks. She even became sick which he later found out was due to her being pregnant with the twins. It was a surprise to everyone when they found out.
FlashBack
The clicking noise of the examing room door alerted Gohan that someone was finally coming out. He and his grandpa had been waiting anxiously for his mother for nearly two hours. Both feared the worst knowing that some people actually lost the will to live after losing a loved one and with the way Chi chi had taken the news of Goku being dead again except that this time he wouldn't be coming back they figured it was a big possibility.
Chi chi walked out slowly holding herself up partially with the wall and a nurse. Gohan rushed to his mothers side as well as the Ox king both extremely worried. Only to be stopped dead in their tracks as Chi chi raised her hand up to stop them before they got to her.
"I'm fine. I just fainted." She half heartedly said with a small exhasted smile. Purposely leaving out the fact that she fainted twice.
"FAINTED!!" both concern family members said in unison. Gohan was the first to try and speak again before Chi chi once again stopped him before he could.
"I...I'm just... Preg-Nant..." she said half not quiet believing what she was saying but letting the news to further set in her mind. ::Am I really pregnant...?...Pregnant...Oh Goku why'd you leave us...?...US...that word has more meaning doesn't it?...I myself have been leaving haven't I've been? I was too rapped up in my grief of never seeing you again that I...I left our son to fend for himself...and Gohan he's still just a boy and I've been too busy with my own feelings...I completely forgot about the feelings of our son didn't I Goku? I must be a terrible mother! I am a terrible mother! Oh my poor Gohan!! Well NO MORE!!! You may be gone but I'm not and I'll be damned before I let his studies go down the drain along with his future!...and the baby...the baby... I'm gonna have to get to work on signing the baby up for a proper education after all if my lil' Einstine is to be changing history with his or her mind I'm gonna have to provide all the proper-:: She continued to think of the future of BOTH her childrens' education.
Meanwhile Gohan and her father remained silent letting the news set in for them as well. As it finally hit them.They both looked at each other understanding full well why she was having a hard time believing the news. ::Mom must feel aweful because of dad and now she's gonna have another child...heh I'm gonna be a big brother!... But mom is still alone isn't she?...No! She has me! And I'm sure grandpa will help out...::. Gohan smiled to himself his mother wasn't gonna have'ta do this on her own and with he felt more determined then ever to do his best.::Don't worry mom! I'm gonna help as much as possible! I'm gonna fill in the gap of my father for you and my new brother or sister. Even for dad. I won't fail any of you! I won't!...I...huh?::.
"Well... we should get home! I still need to start dinner and cleaning up that stye we call home.Oh, and I'm sure we're running low on supplies and groceries huh? Plus I probably should bring out the baby stuff out of the storage so it can air out and then theres still-" she continued to ramble on as if nothing ever happened completely unaware of the stares she was now recieving from everyone in the room. After the shock of her sudden mood change everyone smiled knowing full well that she would be alright now.
End FlashBack
Gohan smiled as he recalled his mothers' ranting on about the 'baby's' education.::Moms' priorities with her children are still the same...heh..::. She had only set one of them up with a study schedule not knowing she was gonna have two. The day after she gave birth she rushed to make sure 'both' of the twins would have a good education.
Mailine gave them the least trouble when it came to studying. She was quiet the smart little toddler. She caught on to things quickly. However Goten on the other hand was a little more difficult to keep still and it usually took alot to convince him that studying was just as fun as playing outside. ::If it wasn't for his curiousity and Mailine I don't think any of us would be able to get him to learn...::. Both twins were very close and worked as a team most of the time. In fact Mailing was the one who usually helped get Goten to study. Sometimes it was a wonder on how well she could get Goten to settle down willingly. They were always together and both complimented each other. Mailine would remind Goten when it was time to help out and studying and Goten would remind Mailine when it was time to play. You would have never guessed the families tragic history if you met the two. They were too spirited and pure. They always had smiles on their faces. Frowns were a rare thing for the duo. It was too bad Gohan couldn't say the same for him and especially his mother...
"Mom did you hear me?" Chi chi blinked a few times and realised her slip up.
"What was that Gohan?" She asked innocently hoping he would forget, but he didn't.
"I asked if there was something wrong. You frowned right now." Gohan frowned to deminstrate his reason for concern still very much worried about her.
"Oh. I just hope Vegeta doesn't get any ideas about teaching my babies to fight or any of that bad language he usues so losely around everyone forgetting that there are children around. Really, I don't understand what it is Bulma sees in that man.!" Chi chi finished with a huff.
"I better get lunch started. After all I am feeding five saiyan appetites. Gohan please watch the twins well I get everything prepared." she sighed knowing it would be a long day.
"Mom are you sure you don't want me to help setting up?" Gohan asked knowing how much work it was for her.
Chi chi only nodded her head no and told him to just watch the kids that she has everything under control.
Gohan looked to the twins who were now playing rock-paper-scizzers trying to agree on something. He took a moment to examine them closely. They were smiling at each other and nodding in agreement of something now. It was sometimes like they communicated telepathically. They were so different in apperances that it was hard to figure out that they were twins sometimes. It didn't seem likely. They were opposites in many ways.
Goten was the taller twin as well as the most naive and active; well Mailine was an inch shorter and more of a miniature Chi chi in training. Mailine looked a lot like her mother but much more beautiful some how. Her eyes were a yellowish green that sparkled when she smiled, her hair was a dark reddish brown that at times seemed to be shining gold and orange, and her skin was porcelain like with rosy lips. Chi chi had decided the odd coloring must have come from Goku being a Super Saiyan at the time of conception. Goten however looked exactly like he's father, coloring and all, with the exception of his weight. When Goku was small he was a rather chubby kid and Goten, although healthy, was much slimmer. Plus neither of the two had their tails. It was immediately decided a week after their birth that their tails would be removed just in case. But even that was different. Goten had a brown tail just like him and his father. Even Vegeta's was brown but Mailine; she was completely different. Her tail was white, pure white. They all agreed it must have been the fact that Goku was a super saiyan at conception...::Right?...:: Gohan shook his head as he felt the approaching energy signals. ::So Vegeta is coming. I''l have to ask him about Mailines' coloring. He might know something...:: Just as soon as Gohan finished his train of thought the Briefs had finally arrived.
The door bell wrung as Chi chi was taking out the fish from the oven. Gohan was headed towards the door when two blurs of color passed him up. The twins however fast unfortunately forgot to stop when they got partway there and crashed into the door not having enough control over the momentum they were running in.
Outside Bulma was surprised at the loud thump she heard hit the door. She stepped a bit ways back incase anything was wrong. Vegeta and Trunks just raised an eyebrow at the thump. Vegeta just 'hmph' and resumed leaning against the capsule car they came in. Little Trunks just mimic'd his father but couldn't help wonder about the thump.
Back inside the house the twins still lyed on the floor in a heap giggling and rubbing their sore spots. They only stayed that way for a couple of seconds before they got up quickly to dust off and continue to concore the task at hand to open the door for their guests. They proceeded to both jump up and down to turn the doorknob. However they both couldn't reach. It was too high up and they were still too short. Gohan laughed silently to himself and walked over to help when the twins nodded to each other and Goten helped Mailine get on his shoulders to turn the doorknob. They grinned widely when they heard the click signaling their victory but soon they lost their balanced as the door started to swing open and Goten fell to the floor as Mailine dangled from the doorknob unable to get down without falling down on the floor like Goten so she just hung there while the door continued to open to reveal a very confused Bulma. Gohan walked over to the door to relieve Mailine of the doorknob and to help his younger brother off the ground. Mailine greatfully allowed Gohan to help her down. Goten however was already standing up again and peered out to take a look at the visitors. Mailine walked up to him and poked him reminding him what their mother wanted them to do. Goten scratched his head for a monet trying to remember what it was when he heard his older brother greating the guest. The one in paticular with blue hair standing in front of them.
"Hiya, Bulma! Sorry for the delay but when these two get determined to do something theres no stopping them." Gohan laughed as did Bulma. Still confused on what happened but decided to ask later for now her attention was on the two main reasons that her and her family made the trip to see.
"So I see. So what's your names you two?" She smiled and directed her question to the toddlers who seemed to be looking up at her in wonderment.
Mailine was the first to speak.
"Mya name is Maileeen. It is ah pleashurr to meet chue!" Mailine closed her eyes and bowed low but when she didn't hear her brother she opened one eye and poked him.
"Owe!...Wa-high tid chue do thaa..." Goten complained when he finally remembered what he was supposed to do. "Oh! Mya sname ish Gooo ten! Snice to me-eat chue!" He finished with a big grin and his father signature pose hand behind his head.
"Oh the pleasure is all ours!" Bulma jestered to her son and husband who both only 'hmph'. Bulma slightly glared in annoyance at her husband and frowned disapproving at her son. She turned her attention back to Gohan and the twins but found all she found was Gohan and a breeze that flew past her. She turned back to see the twins smiling up at Vegeta and the slightly taller then them Trunks.Trunks just stood there with a raised eyebrow at them wondering if they were at the right house still.
Bulma decided it would be proper to introduce herself to them as well. "By the way my name is Bulma Briefs!" she said cheerfully.
"Hewoel Merses Bowlmuah!" The two said in unison. Bulma smiled at the two and nodded to them and pointed towards father and son to introduced them, knowing that neither would do it themselves but Goten and Mailine grinned to each other and grabbed Trunks by the hand. Dragging him to their room in a hurry. Leaving a very stunned Bulma behind.
Vegeta became a little intrigued by this but said nothing.
"Heh, I guess they're excited to have a new play buddy. So where's your mom Gohan?" Bulma asked looking around the house to see if she would see Chi chi.
"Well you know my mom she's always in the kitchen." Gohan said with a hand behind his head like his father used to always do.
"Yeah
I can imagine. After all she has to feed three Saiyans now. I better
go help her."
Bulma walked to the kitchen well Gohan called
Vegeta in so he could close the door.
Meanwhile in a small bedroom three toddlers were getting to know each other. The twins had grabbed all their toys to show Trunks. Trunks still didn't know what to make of them. All he knew was what his parents had told him. His mother had said they were half saiyans just like him and were the children of her close friends; which made him excited at first because now he had someone to play with without being scolded for hurting them. But then his father told him they were the spawn of Kakkarot and that they were most likely weaklings. He asked his father what a Kakkarot was and his father told him he was a low third class clown who was not worthy of being a saiyan. He also told him that he would not allow his son to be weaker than the spawn of Kakkarot and began training him harder then he did before.
It was odd though to Trunks because although he trained with the greatest saiyan there ever was the twins seem just as strong as him. It wasn't easy resisting when they both pulled him away to their room. He looked down at his hand were the girl had held hers with his. He blinked a few times. ::She was strong too just like the boy...::. He knew however that he was the stronger of the two but still it was odd. ::I wonder if my dad knows..::. Looking back at the twins he noticed the one called Goten was waving at him and he realized he must of lost himself in thought. For a toddler he was very smart and some would even say conniving at times. His father had taught him to analyze every situation in his training and to never let your guard down and it kinda stuck with him. Plus there was that little known fact that he most likely inherited his mothers' genius.
"Twunks! Helwoe!" Goten kept saying when Trunks didn't seem to be listening.
Trunks blinked his eyes a few times bringing himself out of thought to see what it was they wanted. When he noticed the girl was smiling and blushing at him still. He in turn blushed and looked away towards the boy. ::why am I blushing!?!::. He inturnally kicked himself for acting so stupid. She had started blushing at him ever since she approached him with her brother outside. Then she even held onto his hand when they had got to the room. She apparently didn't notice because when she did she pulled her hand away right away and blushed even more looking away. He too was blushing when she held his hand and now he couldn't stop thinking about it. Even now he was still not paying attention like he should be but blushing still just cause 'that' girl was looking at him. He figured she was pretty for being a girl but still she shouldn't be distracting him. He was the son of the Prince of saiyans. Royalty in his own right. He knew his father would not approve of such behavior and he knew if he found out he would really be in for it when he got home. The boy called Goten was alright and Trunks knew he would be lots of fun. He was after all part saiyan like him. Even the older brother Gohan, who he had met before, was fun. But that girl was only gonna get in the way.
::and I can't allow that...hmph...she's gotta go.::. Turning his nose upward he made up his mind just then that she was gonna have to be removed from the equation.
