A/N: Just so everyone is aware, this story has two more chapters and then it'll be completed. I have various reasons why, and I'll explain them next chapter. I'm in a bit of a rush, so I can't say much more. Proceed and Enjoy!

{Thursday Night}

Bulla arrived home roughly around nine. She would've been home sooner if she hadn't stopped by Seventeen's, but if she wanted to mend their relationship, then arriving home late was just something she'd have to deal with. She scrunched up her nose, though it wasn't from anything bad, when she smelt food cooking. Curious, she slid out of her flats and headed for the kitchen. Once she reached the kitchen, her mouth dropped slightly, surprise evident in her blue eyes. "Goten?"

Goten spun around a smile on his face. "Hey, babe."

"You know...how to cook?"

He released an nervous laugh as he scratched his head. "Somewhat. Mom always dragged me in the kitchen to learn how to cook, but...it didn't go too well." He shrugged, before continuing, "I did manage to learn at least one recipe."

"And I'm guessing that'll be our dinner for tonight?"

He gave her a quick nod, confirming her question. "Yep."

"Okay...do you need any help?"

"Nah, I got this. Why don't you just sit down and tell me about your day."

"Okay. Well, today was a pretty good day. We weren't too busy today either."

"Oh, really?"

"Umhm."

"And Seventeen?"

"Things were still a little awkward, but I think we're making progress."

"That's cool."

She nodded. "What did you do today?"

"It's a surprise... I'll show you after dinner."

She raised an eyebrow, "Can you at least tell me what it is?"

"Nope. It's a surprise."

Bulla rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms, "Fine. What exactly are you cooking up?"

He chuckled lightly, not even having to turn around to know that his girlfriend was getting aggravated. "That's a surprise, too."

After the young couple finished their food, which happened to be Chi-Chi's famous soap, the two talked amongst themselves, mostly about Bella and their wedding that didn't have a specific setting yet...

"Hey, that reminds me... What was the surprise?"

"Can you get anymore curious?"

She waved him off dismissively, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

He shook his head before taking her hand in his and pulling her up gently, indicating that he wanted her to stand up. She caught on instantly and did what he wanted. Once she was up, he led her to what would be Bella's room and gestured for her to open the door. Bulla raised an eyebrow, but nonetheless, pushed the door open. Goten flicked the light on and Bulla gasped, "Goten...you did this?"

"Well, we do live by ourselves."

She ignored his response, and took in the sight in front of her. The walls were painted a light shade of purple, a white crib laid in the middle of the floor, while the rocking chair not too far from it, was a light brownish color. The dresser that was also in the room was against the left wall, the color identical to the crib.

"Goten...this is beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it. I have to add a few more things and it'll be complete. I wasn't going to show you just yet, but I guess I couldn't wait."

"Someone was a little anxious, huh?"

"Maybe. Maybe not."

Marron sat in front of Dan, a small smile on her face. Dan wasn't a bad guy. In fact, he was a pretty laid back kinda guy. He did display a sweet side, which she happened to be a sucker for. They were currently at a restaurant, nothing fancy, but it was decent. She had expected him to take her out to the movies, which was pretty cliche and typical for a first date. She folded her arms across her chest, as she continued to listen to him talk about his occupation, which happened to be a chiropractor.

"Cold?"

"I'm a little chilly, but I'll be fine."

She raised an eyebrow when she noticed he was taking off his jacket. Realization hit her, and she began to protest, "That's not necessary. You don't have to give me your jacket."

"No, I want to." Once he finally got his jacket off, he handed it to Marron, whom hesitated to accept it. "Take it. It's fine."

She released a sigh and took his jacket, before sliding it on. She mumbled out a 'thanks.'

He nodded, "No problem, so tell me about yourself. What hobbies do you enjoy?"

"Well, I like reading, shopping, and I enjoy the sun."

"Really? What books do you like?"

"Romance...I'm a bit of hopeless romantic."

He smiled, "You're a beautiful, hopeless romantic."

She released a small laugh, "That was pretty lame, you know?"

He faked a hurt look, before breaking out into a smirk. "It got you to laugh, didn't it?"

She rolled her eyes, "I suppose so."

He chuckled, "So, when you said you were a hopeless romantic.."

She sighed. "I'm still hopelessly in love with my ex-boyfriend who's dating and is in love with my...friend. I've been trying to get over him, but it's not working."

He offered her a weak smile, "It takes time to mend a broken heart, Marron."

"Yeah... I know."

Uub stared at the girl in front of him, Len. This was there second date, and since their first date well, he decided to take her out every once in a while just to see what progress would be made, if any. She seemed like a pretty cool girl, and was a pretty good listener as well. She wasn't conceited and she didn't seem like the girl who wanted to be the center of attention all of the time. Maybe, he did the right thing by following Bulla's advice. No, in fact, he was glad he followed Bulla's advice. That blue-haired shopaholic really knew what to do.

Bulla and Goten sat on the living room chair, huddled together as they watched a movie on the Lifetime network. So far, it wasn't as bad either of them thought it would be, but it definitely could have been better.

"Want some more popcorn?"

"Nah, I'm fine." Bulla released a yawn, her eyes never leaving the TV.

"How about something to drink?"

She shook her head 'no' and the young, couple fell into comfortable silence again. "Hey, Goten?," Bulla called as she turned her attention towards him, interrupting the silence they fell into just moments ago.

"Yeah?"

"Have you thought of a middle name yet?"

He smiled, as he wrapped his right arm around her, "Yeah. I have one in mind."

She sat up, curiosity evident in her gaze. "Well? What is it?"

"You really want to know?"

She nodded, waiting for him to continue. "I don't know if you'll like it."

She raised an eyebrow. "You don't know that, tell me."

He sighed, removing his arm from around her. "Lila."

"Lila?"

He nodded and she smiled, "I like it. Bella Lila Son...It has a nice ring to it."

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I like?"

He shrugged and she rolled her eyes, releasing another yawn. She stood up, before turning around to face him. "I'm going to call it a night. Goodnight, Goten."

"Goodnight, Bulla."

She began heading for the hallway, but stopped before reaching it. "Oh, and Goten?...my bed is big enough for the both of us."

Bulla took off before he could respond, leaving Goten staring after her. He replayed the words Bulla said in his head, before grinning. It appeared that Bulla wanted to take the next step: sharing a bed. It looked as if he'd be waking up next to her sooner then he expected, and that was just fine with him.
