{Tuesday Morning}

Bulla slammed the magazine down on her desk in frustration. She couldn't believe it. After all these months she spent trying to conceal her stomach from the public eye, she finally slipped, and that day just happened to be yesterday. She wasn't one to wear baggy clothes, but instead of wearing her usual tight clothes, she gradually began wearing loose clothes-when she got pregnant- to prevent her stomach from catching attention. She mentally chastised herself for slipping and sighed as she stared at the magazine cover. She could easily tell that this picture was taken when she was leaving her and Marron's lunch date. She gasped when something else caught her eyes. Which happened to be an article titled, 'Like Mother, Like daughter?' She immediately picked the magazine back up and flipped to the page the front cover provided. Once she landed on the page, she began reading.

{As we all know, the famous Bulma Briefs shocked the world one or two decades ago with the pregnancy of her first child. At that time, she wasn't married and rumors were going around exclaiming that Yamcha, an extremely well-known baseball player, was the baby daddy, but according to other sources Yamcha wasn't the baby daddy. Many snapshots were photographed exposing Bulma Briefs 'baby bump'. Now, many years later, her daughter, Bulla Briefs, appears to be in the situation as her mother was. Pregnant, no baby daddy, and not married. Though there have been many pictures of Bulla Briefs and the son of Son Goku. Like mother, like daughter? }

Today looked as if it was going to be a good day -she slept well last night, and Bella didn't stir around too much- but apparently that wasn't the case because as soon as she stepped in to work and was about to enter her office, her secretary, Nora, called something to her attention. And that something just happened to be the magazine she was currently starring at. There was no telling how many copies sold by now.

She stood up, grabbed her purse and the magazine before exiting her office. Once Nora came into view she spoke, "I'm taking the rest of the day off."

Nora nodded, "Okay, Ms. Briefs. Enjoy the rest of your day."

Bulla nodded, "You too, Nora."

Goten shifted slightly to get more comfortable. He was snoring lightly, laying out on his back with his arms sprawled out. His chest was slowly rising and falling along with the thick cover that laid on top of him. Since Pan still wasn't feeling well, Trunks decided to take the day off and look after her, and Trunks called as soon as he woke up, letting him know he could stay home. Goten groaned when his phone began ringing and grabbed it off his night stand sleepily, before answering it. He mumbled out a 'hello' and quickly sat up when he recognized the voice as Uub's. He and Uub have been good friends for years now. In fact, Uub happened to be good friends with Trunks as well. And the last time they both heard from Uub was a year ago, before he departed for another one of his long term training sessions.

"Hey man, what's up?"

"Nothing, really. I just made it back home."

"That's cool. I take it training went well?"

"Yeah, it's been going pretty good. What do you say we catch up?"

Goten pulled the covers back and stepped out of bed, "Yeah, that sounds cool. Where at?"

"How about Len's in an hour?"

"Alright, I'll see you then."

Goten hung up the phone before walking over towards the bathroom. Once he entered the bathroom, he started the shower, and then stripped down before stepping in. About twenty minutes later, he finally finished, exiting the bathroom with nothing but a towel hanging around his waist. Just as he was about to drop his towel and finish getting dressed, he heard a soft knock on his room door. He walked towards his door and opened it, only to see his blue-haired girlfriend, "Bulla? What are you doing off this early?"

She let out a sigh and he stepped aside, allowing her to enter. She took the hint and walked in before plopping down on the edge of his bed. She then pulled out the magazine she read earlier and gestured for him to take a look at it. He grabbed it and began skimming through it until he found what he figured she was talking about. He let out a sigh of his own before placing the magazine down and sitting down beside her, " I take it this is the reason you're off earlier than usual?"

She nodded and leaned in to him. He pulled her into her lap, his eyes boring into hers, "How do want to handle this?"

"I just got off the phone with mom and she said she's going to call me back. No doubt, she's arranging something."

Goten nodded, "Don't worry, Bulla. If anyone can handle this your mother can."

She shook her head, "I know, but everything in that magazine is true. My mother wasn't married when she had my brother. I-"

"Bulla, that magazine doesn't have the full story and it never will. Bulma may have not been married, but she's married now, and the father to both of her kids is still around. And you have a father to your baby, and honestly Bulla, I was waiting for the right moment to do this, but it seems like the moment is now."

She raised an eyebrow as she watched him walked over to his dresser and pull something out. He then walked back over towards her and got on one knee, "Bulla, I know we've only been dating for three days, but these past three days have been the greatest days in my life. In fact, everyday I spend around you becomes one of the greatest days in my life. And at first, I was just satisfied with being around you and living with you and the baby. But the more time we spent around each other, the more I realized that I'd be far more satisfied with you as my wife. So Bulla, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"Goten, I don't know. What is the public going to think when I'm suddenly engaged."

"Don't think about the public. Like I said earlier, the magazine doesn't have the full story and it never will. So, what do you say, Bulla? Will you marry me?"

Bulla smiled lightly, "Yes, Goten."

Goten returned the smile, before sliding the ring on her ring finger and kissing her softly on the lips. "Listen, I'm supposed to meet Uub at Len's to catch up. I'm sure he won't mind. Why don't you tag along?"

"Are you sure he won't mind?"

He nodded, "I'm sure. What do you say?"

"Okay. Sure."

Uub waited patiently for Goten to arrive, not aware that another person would be joining them as well. The last time he seen Goten and Trunks was a year ago, so he was pretty pumped to see his friends again. Well, friend. Just Goten would be coming, since Trunks couldn't make it; he was taking care of Pan, which was completely understandable.

He stole a glance at the time on his wristwatch, seeing how much longer it would take for his friend to arrive. Did he forget? Come to think of it, Goten did tend to forget various things on multiple occasions. He rolled his eyes as he pulled out his phone, proceeding to call him, and suddenly paused once he felt a familiar ki heading for him. He stood up smiling once Goten came in sight, along with...

"Bulla? Is that you?"

Bulla nodded, smiling lightly as she continued to hold Goten's hand, "Yep. It sure is. I see you haven't changed much Uub."

Uub smiled, "Thanks." He turned to face Goten, an even wider smile on his face, "What's up, man?"

Goten rubbed an hand behind his head, "Nothing much."

Uub nodded and raised and eyebrow when his eyes lingered down noticing Bulla's and Goten's intertwined hands, "You two...are dating? What happened to Seventeen and Marron?"

"Actually, Uub. Bulla and I are engaged and as for your other question...let's just say, it's a long story. "

Uub shrugged, failing to hide his interest in what happened while he was gone, "I have time."

Next Update: Hopefully before 2/2/13
