Trials of a Saiyan
A/N: This is a filler chapter and I took a lot of work even though it wont be the best one. I just can seem to find other ways to right this. Its only a filler chapter though, but its a necessary one.

Chapter 10: Kinoko's WHAT?!
A month and a half had passed since what happened between Gohan and Kinoko happened. Shockingly, they both of them enjoyed 'doing the deed' and it became their favorite activity. Besides sparring that is.
One morning, Gohan woke up when sunlight went through the window hitting his face. He yawned and sat up wondering where Kinoko was. He expected to see her laying next to him but surprisingly she wasn't there. He got out of bed and pulled on his pants before stepping out of his room. As he was walking down the hall he spotted his little brother, Goten holding some cards in his hands. He smiled up at his big brother when he took notice of him.
"Gohan! You're awake."
"Yeah, have you seen Kinoko, Goten?"
The young boy smiled and used his furry brown tail to open the bathroom door which he was standing by.
A/N: remember, all the Saiyans (besides Vegeta and Goku) keep their tails in my fanfics.
"Kin is sick and I made her some cards to feel better."
Once the door opened, Gohans eyes widened at the sight. Kinoko's head was over the toilet and she didn't look so well. The sons of Goku walked forwards closer to the female Saiyan.
"Are you alright, Kinoko?" Gohan asked.
Kinoko glared over at him, "do I look alright!?"
He knelt down beside her and placed his hand on her forehead.
"You're not burning up. What do you feel is wrong?"
Kinoko's glare hardened. "Who made you a doctor?!"
"I'm just trying to help." Gohan stated.
"Well I do-" She gasped and went back to hurling in the toilet.
Gohan looked back to Goten.
"Hey bro, can you go get mom please?"
"Okay big brother." With that said the happy boy went off in search of ChiChi.
Kinoko stopped and stuck her tongue out in disgust. She absolutely hated the taste of vomit.
"I'm fine, Gohan."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. But I'm hungry now."
Quickly the Saiyan girl rushed down to the kitchen and grabbed all the quick food her grey eyes landed on. She walked over to the table and prepared a breakfast buffet for her strange cravings. She grabbed a slice of bread and splattered all types of jelly on it before stuffing her face. ChiChi, Gohan and Goten walked down and widened their eyes at the sight.
"Gohan, what's the matter with her?" ChiChi asked. "I thought she had a stomach ache."
"She did..." He responded.
ChiChi nodded, "well tell me if she starts feeling sick again." And walked into the kitchen
Gohan looked down when he felt Goten tug on his pants.
"Gohan, have you noticed Kinoko is getting...bigger."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"She's probably eating too much but look."
Gohan looked to Kinoko. He didn't see what Goten was talking about. He shrugged it off and walked towards her again.
"Are you feeling good enough to train today."
Kinoko looked up and Gohan then nodded. "I'm fine. Let's go now!" She stood up from her chair and was about to walk off. She then looked back to the table and grabbed a pot full of oatmeal before running out of the home. Gohan rose an eyebrow. Last time he tried to get Kinoko to eat oatmeal she attacked him with the pot for making her try it.
"I thought Kin hated oatmeal." He mumbled.
...
A few hours passed by and Gohan started noticing that Kinoko's fighting was way off. For some odd reason, she would begin to get dizzy in the middle of the spar and take a break. Piccolo had also arrived saying that he hasn't had a good spar in a while so Gohan decided to train with him and Goten who tagged along. Kinoko was currently working on balance and breathing. Over the passed few months she had been practicing yoga. That's right, yoga. She knew she was strong physically, but she wanted to become equally strong mentally. It wasn't a bad idea. And with all the science books she read, she needed more room for physical education.
A/N: I've been taking a yoga class and it's great. I imagine that the poses I learn, Kinoko would be doing as well. :D
She sat in an easy pose with her legs crossed and her hands at heart center with her thumbs pressed again her chest. She took deep breath after breath and began to sense her own Ki. She then brought her hands around before bringing them back in front of her stomach where she began to sense a strange low energy.
'What in the world...'
Kinoko placed her hands over her stomach and the energy she sensed got a bit stronger. She then soon came realize, this wasn't her own energy. But if it wasn't hers, then what or who's was it. As the Saiyan female pondered upon that Gohan and Goten landed beside her.
"Spar with me, Kin." Gohan said.
Kinoko stood up and looked at Gohan with a confused facial expression.
"Do you sense something strange about me?" She asked.
The eldest son of Goku shook his head. "No, why? Is everything okay, Kinoko?"
She grabbed his wrists and roamed them over her stomach. "I think there's something inside me. I'm sensing something strange in there."
"Maybe its a bug..." Goten stated.
"A bug?" The teenage Saiyan repeated.
Goten nodded, "When my tummy starts hurting, mom says I have a bug."
Piccolo landed behind them and crossed his arms. "Well it's about time, I was wondering when Mirai's comments on you two would come true."
"Hm?" Gohan and Kinoko looked over at Piccolo with an eyebrow raised. "What do you mean, Piccolo?"
The Namekian warrior smirked and shut his eyes. "Gohan, after the Cell Games do you remember how your mother was acting?"
He looked up to the sky as he thought back. "Oh yeah, man was that a case. She was eating foods she hated, she was throwing up a lot and boy she was so moody. But then I realized it was because she was… having a baby…" After putting two and two together Gohan's eyes widened immensely. "Wait…a… baby…" He let out a surprised scream before he ended up fainting.
Kinoko rolled her eyes and looked down at her unconscious mate. "He must get that from his mother."
"But why did he faint, Mr. Piccolo?" Goten asked.
"Well let's just put it like this. Kinoko, you're going to give birth to a child." Piccolo stated, dropping the bomb.
The female Saiyan gasped her eyes wider then saucers, "WHAT?!" With that said she fell unconscious beside Gohan.
Goten scratched the back of his head in confusion. "Mr. Piccolo, where do babies come from?"
The Namekian Z fighter looked to the child a bit awkwardly. "Eh, ask your mother oh and also, let's just keep this a secret for now."
"Keep what a secret?" Goten asked.
Piccolo's eyelids fell to slits in annoyance. "Gohan and Kinoko's child."
The Goku look-a-like smiled. "Sure, let's train now. They'll be awake in a few minutes."
"Now you're talking kid, besides, they'll need to be alone to talk about this."
The two flew off leaving the shocked unconscious teenagers.
….
Gohan opened his eyes back up when he felt something lick his face. When his vision cleared he smiled at seeing his old pal, Icarus.
A\N: Yes, the dragon.
He looked to the side and saw an unconscious Kinoko. He swallowed a lump that formed in his throat. He was gonna be a father, and he could tell Kinoko knew by now. He let out a breath and moved closer to her.
"Kinoko," he whispered and shook her, "Wake up."
The Saiyan girl blinked her eyes open and shifted them till they met his coal ones.
"What did we do…?" She mumbled.
Gohan pulled her up and they sat next to each other. They didn't look at each other, they only stared at the grass they were sitting on.
"What are we gonna do?" Kinoko asked in whisper, "w-we can't be…p-parents." She stuttered.
Gohan wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him. "Well, there's nothing we can do now." A small smile appeared on his face. "We're gonna be parents…"
Kinoko looked up at him and narrowed her eyes, "are you insane! Your mom is gonna kill us!"
"Kin, we can't do anything now."
She pushed herself away from him and stood up running her fingers through her hair nervously. "But—"
"Remember what I told you in the chamber," He stood up and approached her but she kept her back to him. "The past is in the past, all that matters is what we do now."
She looked back to him with tears threatening to fall. "You want this?"
He grabbed her much smaller hands in his and smiled. "Of course I do. I mean we were bound to be parents one day, and you're the only one I'd want to be carrying my child."
She nibbled on her bottom lip in nervousness. "I'm… scared…" She admitted softly.
Gohan moved his hands onto her shoulders. "C'mon, we've been through much scarier things, besides being parents might not be so bad."
"Are you forgetting about ChiChi?"
"She'll be upset at first, but we'll get through it. It's me and you Kinoko. We'll be fine."
She looked up to him once again. "Are you sure?"
He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Of course I am."
Kinoko let out a breath in the form of a sigh. "What now?"
"I guess we need to tell my mom."
The two teenaged Saiyans exchanged nervous looks. Telling ChiChi might be the hardest thing they'll have to do.
…..
The fly home was silent. Gohan and Kinoko were still shocked and thinking about the child she was carrying. It was like they could already feel ChiChi's wrath of a frying pan. Kinoko blinked at the thought. She had seen Master Roshi get hit with that and she didn't want to know how it felt. They landed on the front of the house and let out a deep breath. Goten ran in first acting oblivious to the news he heard today. Gohan grabbed Kinoko's hand and led her inside where they saw ChiChi. They both went pale. This was definitely gonna be harder than they thought.
"Hey, you guys are back early." She recognized.
"We didn't really get much training done actually." Gohan murmured.
ChiChi put down the cup of tea she was sipping and looked at them strangely. "Then what did you do."
"Talked…" Kinoko mumbled quickly.
ChiChi sniffed around and then pinched her nose, "You sure smell like you've been training. Go get cleaned up then we have a get together to attend."
"In a minute, mom there's something we—"
Kinoko placed her hand over his mouth and smiled nervously. "Um, he means we'll go get ready, ChiChi."
She pulled Gohan up to his room and shut the door. "Okay, well tell everyone there." She said.
"We might make a scene." Gohan added.
"I know but it's better that way, everyone should know at the same time." She continued.
He sighed, "If you're sure."
….
After getting ready, they flew off to Capsule Corporation and got greeted by many of the Z warriors. ChiChi and Bulma were sitting at the table chatting, Vegeta and Piccolo were both separated from the group ignoring everyone, Trunks and Goten were playing games and everyone else was either eating or just talking. Kinoko narrowed her eyes at Gohan as he nervously sipped on the water cup he had in his hand.
"Will you relax?" Kinoko stated. "Everything is going to be fine."
He glanced over at her and smiled a bit. "I am, it's just that well, the thought of having a baby and being a dad. It's overwhelming a little."
Kinoko crossed her arms and looked away. "We talked about this already."
"You don't seem as shocked as before."
"That's because I learned to stay calm in front of people, Gohan."
The half breed smiled and gripped her hand giving it a small peck.
"I'm happy about this."
She cracked a small smile. "I know."
...
As ChiChi and Bulma kept chatting, the two certain boys walked into the scene.
"No way I don't believe you, Trunks." Goten said.
"Well it's the truth." He replied.
"Nuh uh. The big bird brings them. Parents can't buy babies."
The lavender haired boy looked at his best friend. "Goten, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."
"What's going on boys?" Bulma asked.
Trunks looked at his mother and placed his fists on his hips.
"Well Goten asked me where I think babies come from and I told him that parents buy them at a store." Trunks explained.
The two women began to chuckle.
"But I saw on TV that the big white bird brings them to the mommy and daddy. That's how Gohan and Kinoko's baby is coming right mom?"
Trunks gasped and placed his hand over Goten's mouth. Gohan and Kinoko overheard this as well and looked over with their eyes wide.
"GOTEN!" They shouted.
The two women stopped chuckling and gasped.
"WHAT?!" ChiChi shouted.
Trunks narrowed his blue eyes at his best friend.
"Nice going, Goten! You said Piccolo told you to keep it a secret remember!"
"Oops..."
ChiChi gasped and fell out of her chair anime style. The Z gang looked at the two teenagers shocked.
"Gohan... Is that true?" Krillin asked.
He let out a breath and nodded nervously. "Yes, it is..." He mumbled.
Everyone stayed quiet for a moment until Master Roshi moved closer to the teenagers.
"Hehe, Gohan. You don't mind sharing your pretty girlfriend with old Roshi, eh?"
The half-breed narrowed his eyes a little but Master Roshi was sent to the ground by the hit of a frying pan.
'Not good.' Kinoko thought.
The teens moved back into the couch when an outraged ChiChi was glaring at them.
"WHAT IS THIS I HEAR?! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?" She yelled.
Gohan opened his mouth to respond but closed it again.
"WHAT KIND OF IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR IS THIS?! DID I RAISE YOU TO MAKE DECISIONS LIKE THIS?!..."
As ChiChi went on the Z gang stayed silent watching her lecture the teens. Vegeta opened his eyes from being shut and smirked at the sight.
"It was going to happen sooner or later, in fact I admit, I'm shocked it didn't happen sooner."
Everyone turned their attention to Vegeta who had his usual scowl on his face.
"What are you talking about, Vegeta?" Krillin asked.
A shocked Bulma, and an outraged ChiChi both narrowed their eyes at the Prince of Saiyans.
"Vegeta this isn't okay, they're just kids!" Bulma shouted.
"Woman they are Saiyans. Mating early is natural especially if you have had a strong bond with your partner for as long as these brats have."
Gohan stood up and looked at his mother.
"I'm sorry mom, but," he looked back to Kinoko," I...love Kin... And I want to be a dad. I'm ready."
Kinoko's face became red. 'Did he just say the L word?'
"You've got my support pal." Krillin said.
"Me too." Yamcha added.
Oolong glared at Kinoko. "As long as they don't eat hot dogs like their psychotic mother..."
ChiChi blinked and then gasped. "MY BABY IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY!" She collapsed back on the ground shocking everyone.
Bulma checked on ChiChi and Kinoko stood up beside Gohan and smiled a little. The half-breed ignored his shocked mother at the moment and looked back to Kinoko. He smiled widely before lifting her off the ground and kissing her face.
"You're gonna have my baby, Kin!" He exclaimed happily.
Maybe they'd be good parents after all.
