Goku lied his son down on the medical bed as Bulma and Vegeta came in. Bulma put her hand on Goten's forehead, quickly taking it away. She looked at her hand to see it was red.
"This isn't a normal fever Goku," said Bulma.
"She's right Kakarott," said Vegeta.
"Does it have to do with him being half-sayian?" asked Goku.
"Yes, he's dying, but it's not as serious as you may think," said Vegeta.
"What do you mean not that serious? He's dying," said Goku.
"It can be prevented. You're brat needs to find someone to mate with."
"How long does he have?"
"He has till the end of the month."
"How are we going to find Goten a mate in a month?"
Bulma smiled and Vegeta smirked.
"What? You know who?"
"Our son," said Bulma.
Goku stopped to think of the idea with his son with Trunks, and it made sense to him. Trunks was always watching over him, and they were so close.
"Yeah, it sounds like a good idea. I'll let Goten know but what can I do for now to make him comfortable."
"Don't have the brat over exert himself otherwise there isn't much you can do," said Vegeta.
Trunks landed in front of his house and went in to see a sleeping Goten in his father's arms.
"So, is he going to be alright?" asked Trunks.
"I'll let your parents explain, but I have to get Goten home and in bed," said Goku.
Trunks watched Goku fly away with his best friend and a pang came to his heart. He turned to see both of his parents before him, which was rare.
"Sit down sweetie," said Bulma.
"So what's up with Goten?"
"He's dying, and he needs to mate with someone before that happens. He has till the end of this month," said Vegeta.
"We thought maybe it would be you," said Bulma. "You love him honey, and it's just right you now."
"You're forgetting two things mother. One, I'm getting married to Marron and two, Goten doesn't feel that way about me."
"How do you know he doesn't Trunks?" Bulma.
"I've know Goten since we were born. I think I would know if he was in love with me."
"Well you two are certainly not kids anymore. You never really know until you ask him," said Bulma.
"I-I need to think about this."
"You only have a small amount of time son, so think quickly," said Vegeta.
Trunks walked upstairs to his bedroom, lying on his bed he stared at the ceiling as he heard footsteps approach his door, and a knock came.
"Trunks it's me Bulla. Can I come in?"
"Whatever."
Trunks felt a weight on his bed and looked into the sad eyes of his sister.
"Don't even say it, Bulla."
"I wasn't going to convince you to do anything Trunks. All I want is you to be happy, and I can see that this is tearing you apart inside."
"So, mom and dad told you."
"Yes Trunks, they told me. I'm so sorry."
"I know what I have to do but what if it isn't the right thing to do? I mean lets say I do mate with my best friend then that ruins any chance of marrying Maroon because with the bond I won't be able to get him out of my head. Also, if there's no love Goten has for me, then we'll be trapped in a destructive relationship, and I don't want to do that to him, but I don't want him to die. He has too many people on this earth that love him."
"Including the one who loves him most."
"Bulla, I thought you weren't going to-
"I wasn't trunks, but I couldn't help it. Maybe you should get some sleep. The answer might become more clear to you in the morning."
He heard the door close behind her and began to drift into his dreams.
