Sora and Piccolo had come to enjoy their new home and though it was only a few yards from the main house they were rarely bothered. Goku and Gohan would visit long enough to ask about fishing trips or for training sessions with Piccolo.
Sora had to pretend hormone fits just to get Piccolo out of the house. She felt badly for doing it but if he wanted to get stronger he had to train and with the pregnancy Sora was out of commission so she stuck to helping Chi Chi around the house with laundry and meals. Though she was exhausted she never complained. Chi Chi tried to stop her from exerting herself but Sora simply smiled and said that she was repaying the generosity.
The last few weeks of Sora's pregnancy were a joy. Piccolo never wanted to leave her side and his interactions with the child were of absolute love as he would lay his hands over Sora's stomach and smile. He would kiss her stomach and he would speak to the child of his love for it.
Chi Chi had got her party but Sora had to laugh since the majority of her friends were all men the gifts were mostly congrats to the new parents.
Sora was overjoyed at the love her unborn child was receiving from everyone.

"I need to stay here," Piccolo said as Sora's due date was approaching.
"Piccolo I'm fine, the baby's fine. Go," Sora said, kissing him as he stroked her stomach.
He was growing restless with the impending birth and he wanted to be there for her.
"Love we will be fine, if something happens you will know," Sora smiled and kissed him, then she shooed him out the door.
The day had been typical for everyone and after some time in the garden Sora's back began to ache.
"Chi Chi I'm going to the river to swim," Sora called to her sister.
Sora made her way to the river and began to remove her dress. The pain in her back was dull but it had begun to come in waves. She sat under the cool waterfall that always soothed away her aches and pains. And then she swam around a bit before sitting on an underwater ledge and relaxed her head on a rock that sat next to her. Soon she had dozed off but after a short time she was woken by a sharp clenching in her stomach that quickly passed.
Sora gasped and hugged her stomach in pain. With a gasp she remembered what her sister had said about labor and swam back to the opposite shore. As she climbed out of the water her back and stomach clenched again. Sora laid on the ground a moment to catch her breath then stood up and put her dress back on. She had to get home. The ten minute walk took nearly half an hour as she began to labor.
While leaning against a tree outside of the house, Sora released her energy and muttered Piccolo's name, then walked into the house. "Chi Chi it's time," Sora called.
Chi Chi ran from another room, drying her hands on her apron. "Ok, how far along are the contractions?"
Sora shook her head, "Not long."
"Ok," Chi Chi replied and led her to a spare bedroom and sat her on the futon. "Do I need to go for the others?"
Sora shook her head, "No. They are on their way."
"Ok," Chi Chi replied as Sora let out a low moan. She then started timing Sora's moans and found they were roughly six to seven minutes apart. Chi Chi then began to ready the room for the new addition. They had long since decided that Chi Chi would deliver the baby since the hospital would be questioning of Piccolo.

The guys had been sparing a few miles from the house. Their minds focused on their training and their mission.
While dodging Gohan's attacks Piccolo felt a rushing sensation over his thoughts and his name being called on the wind. His distraction cost him as Gohan's kick landed squarely on his face.
Piccolo was momentarily stunned by the blow as Goku called out, "That was Sora."
Piccolo shook off the throbbing sensation in his skull and nodded, "Yes and she is in pain."
Goku laughed, "Well then it must be time."
Piccolo nodded and with the others following, took off in the direction of home.
When Piccolo barged into the house he ran into Chi Chi as she was carrying some towels. As she fell Piccolo caught her around the waist and righted her.
"Where is she," he asked as the others walked in.
Chi Chi shook off the near fall and pointed to a back hallway, "In the spare bedroom sleeping. The contractions started hours ago."
Piccolo walked off in the direction of the room.
Goku walked up to Chi Chi, "Well?"
Chi Chi smiled as she picked up the towels, "Her contractions are stronger than the normal but if they continue to progress like they are then we should have a baby by tonight."
Goku smiled at his wife and nodded.
The rest of the day was spent quietly at home waiting.
Piccolo walked into the room and found Sora panting heavily and her face contorted in pain on occasion from the contractions but she slept.
He knelt down beside the futon and took her hand in his.
Sora moaned and woke up slightly. "Piccolo, you came," she said breathily.
Piccolo smiled, "Of course I came."
Sora smiled and drifted back off into a restless sleep.
After a few hours Sora had felt the desire to push and so Chi Chi shooed Piccolo out of the room when the contractions were just seconds apart.
Piccolo paced outside of the hall, stopping when Sora cried out.
"Piccolo you need to relax," Goku said, standing in front of his path.
"How can I? The woman I love is in pain and I can't help her," Piccolo replied angrily and leaned against the wall, folding his arms over his chest.
"Piccolo," Goku replied. "All that matters is the love you have for my sister and the child she is having. You are that baby's father and it needs you to be clear minded."
Piccolo nodded, "Thank you Goku."
Goku nodded. Just then there was a scream of pain from the room Sora and Chi Chi were in and then there was a wet gurgled cry.
Piccolo was about to run to the room but Goku stopped him, "Wait. When they are ready for you Chi Chi will come for you.
Piccolo growled and returned to his position on the door.
Sure enough a few minutes later Chi Chi walked out drying her hands on her apron.
"Well," Piccolo asked. "Is she ok?"
Chi Chi nodded and smiled, "Sora is fine. You have a strong, healthy baby girl."
Piccolo smiled, "A girl."
Chi Chi nodded, "You can go see them."
Piccolo thanked Chi Chi and walked into the room. When he saw Sora, pale and exhausted, he was heartbroken. He placed his hand against her cheek and felt cool sweat on his fingers. Sora moaned and turned into his palm but continued to sleep. He smiled and kissed her gently on the lips.
As he looked down at her and the smile on her lips he heard a small whimper next to the bed. He looked across from Sora and spotted the cradle. He stood and walked around the futon to it. When he looked inside his heart stopped. The child was tiny with a tuft of raven wing hair on her head. Her tiny cheeks were rosy and as she blinked in the light he saw that she had dark eyes.
Piccolo picked up the baby and going on instinct cradled his daughter in his arm. "My daughter so you were the one causing so much pain for your mother," he said and brushed a finger over a pudgy cheek. The newborn grasped the finger and stopped whimpering at his voice and relaxed with a sigh.
"She is so small," he heard Sora breath dreamily.
Piccolo looked up at her as she looked back at him. He walked around the futon and sat down then he placed the newborn into her arms with reluctance. He was already attached to the child and he never wanted to let go.
The new parents looked over their daughter with absolute joy.
"We are finally a family," Sora smiled with tears on her voice.
Piccolo placed a hand on the infants head and wrapped the other around Sora's shoulders and drew her close, "She is as beautiful as her mother."
Sora smiled and their smiles grew as the baby wrapped its tail around Sora's arm and drifted off to sleep.
