"It won't matter what the women think. Goku and I are the men. We decide what to do and you lot listen to us. It is for your own good whether you believe it or not. What's so bad about it anyway? You're guaranteed to not spend the rest of your life alone, and you're guaranteed a strong partner," huffed Vegeta.
Bulla and Trunks turned to see him descending the stairs like a true royal would. It reminded them that he is the King. Can they argue against the King's command? He would just beat us up. He can go super saiyan blue, and we can't. Trunks and Bulla deflated, but still haven't given up on hope that their genius mother brings. She'll think of something.

"Goku," Chichi hummed. She rubbed her dainty hand along Goku's muscles, slowly easing him into an awakened state.
"Hey Chichi," he smiled. He turned all the way around and pecked her cheek, making her blush. "Can we talk about something?"
Chichi sat down her coffee mug after Goku explained everything to her. "And you don't want to marry Bulla, even if one of the kids say something? Even though you didn't protest to that plan at all…" her eyes narrowed as pictures of Goku kissing Bulla filled her mind, and filled her heart with pain and jealousy.
"I was too shocked that he even thought of such a thing. I plan to tell him how I feel about it. But, what do you think about the kids? Are we doing the right thing?" Goku bit his lip nervously, waiting for his wife to snap at any moment.
For once, Chichi didn't answer through emotions, but through logic. "I feel it would be better for the sake of the Earth." Her fingers traced the rim of her mug as she thoughtfully answered. "More Saiyans. That would be key in Earth's survival. Plus, the kids are around each other's age close enough, and they all know each other well. Not to mention this would further bring our families closer together. I think it's a fine idea."
Goku sighed relief. "That's what I was thinking too. Bringing our families together as one. United and strong against evil."
Chichi stood up and walked around behind Goku and placed her hands on his broad shoulders, and began to gently rub in circles. "I trust you sweetie. Just keep Vegeta in check and explain to the kids what you told me. Even if they don't understand now, they will when the time is right."
"Mm, yes Chichi. Thank you for being understanding for once," he sighed. His eyes snapped open when her hands stopped moving and tightened their grip on him. She slowly leaned close to his ear, a vain throbbed on her temple.
"What do you mean 'for once'?" Her voice was dangerously sweet.
Oh she's really angry!
Before he could mess this up further he focused on Vegeta's energy and pressed his fingers to his forehead. "I'll go have that talk with Vegeta now, hehe."
Before she could respond he vanished.
"GOKUUUUUUUU!"
Goku appeared right in front of the Briefs which startled Trunks and Bulla who still weren't used to his instant transmission trick. "Sup guys?"
"Just letting these kids know that what we say goes, no matter who disagrees," bluntly said Vegeta.
"Well I talked to Chichi-"
"You WHAT?! IDIOT! I SAID WE WOULD SHARE THE NEWS WITH EVERYONE AT ONCE! THEN YOU GO STAB ME IN THE BACK?! WE NEED TO STAY UNITED!"
Goku was taken aback by his choice of words. "You usually hate working with me, Vegeta."
"That's different. I don't like fighting together, but I want to include you in my personal life. We are rivals after all and you're going to be family, baka." Aware of how hot his face felt, he turned away from Goku with his arms crossed.
"Hmm I see. And I understand, but you know how I'm bad at keeping things secret, hehehe!"
"Tch. Anyway, what'd the woman have to say about it?"
All eyes were on Goku. Vegeta's were angry, but willing to listen and work through any obstacle. Trunks and Bulla's were filled with hope and fear at the same time. Goku smiled and winked at them.
"She said she understands and is all for uniting our families this way. She agrees that it would be best for the Earth and the kids in the long run. But Vegeta, please don't tell the kids stuff like you marrying Pan and me marrying Bulla. That's traumatizing for a kid to hear, and it kept me up most of the night from the disgust of marrying a child whose young enough to be my grandchild."
Vegeta's arms uncrossed at the news of Chichi agreeing with their plan. "Yeah yeah that's fine it was just to ensure no one said anything. But she agrees? That's a shocker."
"I know right I wasn't expecting it!"
The kids groaned and slumped in their seats. "I don't want to marry Pan," grumbled Trunks.
"And Goten's weird," sniffled Bulla.
Goku and Vegeta shook their heads at them. Their eyes met with each other. What Goku found in Vegeta's eyes was something he was sure he would never see. Warmth. Kindness. And respect.
