Two weeks have passed and Risa now sat with Tien back at home. His ring hanging around his neck, hers on her hand. She understood why he didn't want to wear it. When someone trains in the extreme way that he does, as he builds his muscles his hands will get bigger too. She even told him that they didn't have to have the rings. Just knowing they were married was enough for her, but he insisted that they use her parent's rings. And she was elated cause of it.

Looking down at his wife Tien smiled. He never thought that he would ever get married. He always figured that he would end up like Tao. Until he met Goku. And that changed his life for the better in so many more ways than one. After meeting him, he changed, left the Crane school and set out on his own to train. Never imagined that he would meet the one woman who would steel his heart away from him forever.

Looking at his other side he let his smile get even bigger to see Chiaotsu sitting there looking just as happy about this as Risa was. Then he hardened his eyes as they shot to the window that lead up to the bluff that overlooked this house. That energy was back. It took him a while but he finally figured out who it was that was there. He finally figured out that it was Master Shen. And from the level of hate he had coming off of him it had to be because he and Chiaotsu left the school and went out on their own. They didn't go to Master Roshi for training. Though he was sure he would end up at Kame house at some point in time.

Looking back down when he heard the content sigh of his wife he smiled then closed his eyes as he narrowed out the window again. 'I dare you to try to touch her. My old master or not I won't let you hurt her or any friends I have now. I don't care who you are.'

"It is him isn't it Tien."

Looking down at Chiaotsu he nodded. "It is. Are you alright with the fact that at least I am going to have to fight with him at some point? There can only be one reason why he is there my friend. You know this."

Nodding Chiaotsu looked down. "Because we left when we realized how wrong he and his teachings were."

"That's right." When Risa's head started to roll to the side he laughed as he stopped it. Tien would do anything for this woman right here and right now. 'Master Shen will just have to realize just how far I will go to protect her. Finally know what it means to have friends. Finally I know what it means to love someone so much that it hurts. I won't let you take this away from me and hurt them. Her most of all. You just won't do it. I won't let you.'

Glaring into the window, Shen kept his arms crossed. Two weeks. Two weeks ago they shot off all three of them to the city, and came back with wedding rings on their hands. They were married. He knew more than once they have slept together. The love is there, so the hurt and the pain will be there when it is time. But now was trying to find his moment! He could strike the second that the opening was there, but there never was one! He didn't know what the hell was going on. But he knew that he hoped he could do this soon! 'The longer I wait the more I will make them suffer. That is all there is too it. If I have to wait ten years I will wait.'

Yet again that night, Risa found herself waking up from a sound sleep and racing through her home to the bathroom to vomit again. And just like every time before she felt strong hands rubbing her back and holding her hair away from her face. She was nearly certain what was going on. But it had only been two weeks since their first time. And she didn't know if anyone could tell. And she was so worried about telling him because she didn't want to get his hopes up if she wasn't and just imagining it.

With worried eyes as she dropped her head again Tien didn't know what was wrong with her. "Risa…." But as she started to answer she got sick again! Turning and looking out the door to see a equally worried Chiaotsu standing there all he did was nod. They were leaving, and going to go find Kame House. Roshi was an old pervert and he would watch him on that one. But he needed to find out how to go about figuring out what was wrong with her!

Turning back to her he sighed. "Chiaotsu is gonna get you some stuff and grab some beans to take with us. We are gonna head to Kame House soon as you think you can move."

Breathing hard as she sat back and leaned into his arms she gave him a questioning look. "Kame House?"

"It is a long story, but to make it short the guy who lives there is Master Roshi and was rivals with my old master and helped me see how wrong my old master was. So that is why I was training on my own when I helped you. But other than Goku, Yamcha and Krillin I don't know anyone that would know how to figure out why you are so sick all of the sudden."

Nodding with a smile she figured that if he was an old man, he would have kids or something. And would notice it. and the look on on her husband's face she wasn't going to be getting out of it either. "Well I guess from that look I don't have a choice do I?"

"Not on this. It isn't natural for someone to get sick as much as you are. Can you stand?"

Nodding as he helped her to stand she smiled at him. "Well I am going to brush my teeth and put my hair up since I gather we are flying."

"Right."

Waking up to the knocking on the door, Roshi glared from behind his sunglasses as he made his way to the door. Opening the door he gasped in shock to see Tien standing there with a beautiful woman in his arms. "What's going on Tien?"

"Can we come in?"

Stepping to the side, Roshi already had his eyes glued on the woman. She was one of the sexiest women that he had ever seen! Even compared to Launch! "So…..who is…."

Giving him a glare as he laid Risa down on part of the couch he wasn't even going to play games with him. "Back off this one old man. I am grateful to you keep your perverted old hands to yourself and off my wife."

Gasping again, Roshi forgot for a second that the girl was asleep. "Your wife!"

Chiaotsu rushed to him and covered his mouth as both he and Tien looked back at Risa then sighed. "Master Roshi she is sleeping."

Sitting on the floor in front of her Tien sighed. "We actually live in the mountains not far from here. Not long after Goku defeated Piccolo in the last tournament, Chiaotsu and I went up in the mountains to train on our own. Breaking all ties from Master Shen completely. We heard a woman scream for help and saw her surrounded by some thugs. When I got her home I couldn't leave her, I felt uneasy about it since her house had been broken into while she was gone. One thing lead to another, and now we have been married for two weeks."

Sitting across from them now Roshi nodded. "I see. So you and Goku are the first ones then."

"Goku got married? He really married Chichi?"

Nodding Roshi laughed. "I got the official invite last week. You were first. He and Chichi got married just about three days ago."

"I see." A glance back with a smile at his wife, Tien sighed. "The reason why I am here is because she is worrying me. I know what is and isn't normal for me. I tried everything I can think off but all night she has done nearly nothing but get sick. We had to stop seven times to let her vomit on the way here, and five times before we left. I tried all I know and she still gets sick. I am not sure what to do about it."

Nodding Roshi then looked at the girl. She seemed healthy enough. She had nice color to her face and seemed to be sleeping peacefully. But she has a glow about her in her energy that he has felt many times before. 'I bet she is pregnant already. I wonder how long it will be before Chichi is? But no sense in getting him worked up about it. I will send him to see Bulma.' "I haven't had much to do with in dealing with sick women though if you know what I mean." His face turning red he smiled his goofy smile. "But if you want I can take a look and see….."

"In your dreams pervert."

Dropping his head with a disappointed sigh he then stood and headed back for the stairs. "Well then I got nothing. You may wanna go and see Bulma. Being from the city and a woman herself she might be better off to help you out."

"Right." Tien then sighed as he stood up. He had something else he wanted to ask Roshi. "Stay here with her Chiaotsu. I want to talk to Roshi about something." Then he was up the stairs and opening the door to his room.

"What else is it Tien? And this has nothing to do with your wife does it?"

Shaking his head he walked in and sat down in a chair. "It doesn't. From the day I got Risa home after I rescued her I felt an evil angry energy near her home. It took me until a few days ago to work out who it is. Master Shen. I can't help but think that the angry energy that I am sensing is directed at me and Chiaotsu. But Risa…"

"Worried he might try and take it out on your wife then?"

"Right."

Looking up he sighed then laid down and turned his back to Tien. "Well. I would say the best bet is not to leave her alone. Why don't you see if Bulma and Yamcha will want to come and stay with you guys for a while? Shen is as stubborn as they come. You may want to consider moving too."

"Right. Thanks Master Roshi."
