(A/N Sorry this chapter took so long folks I've kinda had a little bit of a tough time lately and I promise that future updates won't take so long…Thanks for being patient Enjoy! Oh and Chattingchick1 has a good series of stories called Triple Threat they are DBZ so if you enjoy good DBZ fics check hers out she would appreciate it. )
Shortly after they emerged from the hyperbolic time chamber the group headed towards their respective households except for Gohan and Videl who were making their way towards the Son residence to tell Chi-Chi the news of what was about to happen.
They landed on the lawn of the Son residence and Gohan couldn't help but smile at the way Videl waddled because of her extra large belly, Videl looked back and saw Gohan smiling like some kind of fool.
"And just what are you smiling at mister?" she shot him a glare that only she could master.
"Me? Well I'm smiling at my beautiful mate who is carrying my children." He finished the statement by walking over and rubbing her belly. Videl couldn't help but blush at his statement.
As soon as they opened the door an orange and blue blur smashed into Gohan's leg.
"HIYA big brother whatcha doin here?" the chibi looked up at his older brother with the classic Son grin plastered on his face.
"Hey squirt where's mom Videl and I have some wonderful news for her." He reached down and ruffled the little demi-saiyans hair.
"Oh she's outback with daddy follow me." And with that he was once again a blur headed towards the back of the house. Gohan placed his hand in Videl's and began to walk through the house towards the backyard.
Once outside Videl couldn't help but gasp at the beauty of her surroundings. Having lived in the city her entire life Videl had never seen anything like the surroundings that Gohan grew up in.
"It's beautiful" Videl's eyes continued to look over the landscape.
"Yeah it sure is I miss it…" Gohan trailed off as he spotted his father coming towards them with Goten on his shoulders and Chi-Chi trailing behind slightly. Gohan couldn't help but smile as Goten grabbed his father's hair and pulled up making Goku wince as his hair was stretched upwards. Gohan began walking towards his father gently pulling Videl with him. As they neared each other Goku and Gohan gave each other a slight nod. Goku smiled as he neared his eldest son.
"Gohan good to see you I bet you want to talk to your mother so Goten and I will head over to the house while you talk here." Goku nodded again as he walked past his eldest.
"Thanks dad, I owe you." Gohan smiled as he motioned for his mother to come over.
Videl stayed behind Gohan not wanting to give away the surprise thanks to her very pregnant belly.
"Gohan I'm so glad you finally came to visit me…it's been so long." Chi-Chi smiled as she sat on the grass.
"Yeah me too mom…uh Videl and I have some news to tell you." Gohan scratched the back of his neck smiling like his father would.
"Son Gohan I know that look, what have you done?" the look Chi-Chi was giving them was actually frightening Videl.
"Actually mom it's something that is good." Gohan motioned for Videl to come out from behind him. The second she stepped around Gohan Chi-Chi's eyes twinkled like never before.
"GRANDBABIES…I'M GOING TO HAVE GRANDBABIES! Oh this is so exciting." Gohan and Videl could practically see the hearts in her eyes as she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Y-y-you mean your not mad that I'm going to be a dad and I'm not even out of school yet?" Gohan was both shocked and relived that he was still standing and hadn't met the pan of doom yet.
"Gohan, Bulma has told me that you have studied very hard and that High School is really just a formality for you because you're already basically a college graduate…so as long as you stay in school I am fine with it." The already shocked Gohan just about collapsed as Chi-Chi explained her reaction.
"Wow Mrs. Son you seem really understanding…we have another problem though." Videl looked down at the grass feeling ashamed of the question she was going to ask.
"What is it dear? You look either upset or embarrassed." Chi-Chi had become worried.
"It's just that once the baby is born I would like to go back to school and we were wondering if you would mind watching it during the day." Gohan spoke up for Videl who seemed at a loss of words.
"Of course I will son you know that. I can't wait…How much longer till the baby is born you know saiyan babies are faster to develop right?" Her eyes were still sparkling as she spoke of her Grandbabies.
"Well from what I can sense through ki it looks like she only has about a month or so to go so it shouldn't be to long….." Gohan stopped as Vegeta dropped out of the sky followed by Trunks.
"Brat I have come to tell you that you and your mate are expecting more then what you have planned for." Arms crossed over his chest and a triumphant look on his face.
"Huh what do you mean Vegeta?" Videl was confused once again and wasn't happy about it.
"You should be planning for two instead of one. You should concentrate more when you read her ki signal…there are three including hers." Gohan immediately began to concentrate on Videl's ki signature and sure enough he found not one but two extra signals inside her.
"Wow Vegeta thanks I never would have noticed until it was to late…umm can you tell if they are boys or girls 'cause I am not sure how to tell that young yet." Vegeta huffed and began walking away.
"Go ask you baka father he knows more then I do about ki you know that."
"Oh right good point. I'll be right back Videl I'm going to go ask dad if he knows." Gohan immediately took off in the direction of his father's ki.
"So Trunks what brings you out here today?" Chi-chi was looking at the lavender haired boy curiously.
"Well I actually have to tell Videl and Gohan something really important. So I will wait until Gohan comes back." Trunks couldn't bring his eyes up from the grass.
Gohan found Goku training young goten how to fire ki blasts and basic fighting techniques off in the corner of the family's meadow.
"Hey dad can I ask you something?" as he approached he knocked away a stray blast from the inexperienced Goten being surprised by his brothers appearance.
"Go ahead son what is it?" Goku turned to his oldest son and saw a serious look on his face "Goten why don't you go practice over there by the stream."
"Okay!" and once again the orange and blue blur was off like a rocket.
"Dad I want to know if you can tell the sex of my children inside Videl by their ki signatures. I asked Vegeta but he was as usual pissed off about something and told me to ask you."
"Actually Gohan you can tell if you concentrate just right you should be able to feel different vibrations in that of a male or female ki."
"Wow dad your right…I can feel how Marron's ki has different kind of pulse then Goten's does." Gohan began to focus on Videl and the two ki's inside her "hmmm it looks like I will be the proud father of two twin boys. Do you think I should tell Videl dad?"
"I would only tell her if she wants to know Gohan, sometimes they just don't want to know."
"Thanks dad I will be sure to ask Videl later if she is interested in the sex of our children."
As Gohan finished talking with his father he noticed that Trunks was looking impatient and went to see what was so important that it had him fidgeting. He made his way over to Trunks and Videl who were chatting idly to get Trunks relaxed a little bit. Gohan stepped behind Videl and gave her a hug from behind nuzzling in her neck in the process.
"Hey Trunks what did you need to talk about?"
"Damn, why does he have to be straight to the point these days" Trunks shifted uncomfortably under Gohan's gaze which of course didn't go unnoticed by Gohan.
"Well you see I uh wanted to tell you guys that uh…me and Erasa a-are expecting." Gohan was glad that he had saiyan hearing because Trunks was so nervous he didn't notice that he kept his voice too low for Videl to hear.
"What did you say, I couldn't hear you Trunks you were being quiet and were looking at the ground." Videl was obviously frustrated that she hadn't heard and could tell that Gohan knew what Trunks had said.
"Trunks you don't have to say it again unless you want to. I can tell Videl later…but that's up to you." Trunks gazed at Gohan meeting his stare nodding slightly.
"What I said Videl is that Erasa and I are expecting our own little bundle of joy in about 4 months." Videl's eyes widened in surprise and she did her best to leap at Trunks and attempt to crush him with a hug.
"I'm so glad that Erasa found you" Tears were running down her face showing her true happiness to the two demi-saiyans.
Gohan made his way to Trunks after Videl was done suffocating him and briskly shook his hand.
"I guess this is another adventure that you and I are going on together eh Trunks."
"Yeah looks like it…feels weird doesn't it…that we are gonna have someone in our lives who is completely dependent on two people to live its life."
"Wow I didn't even think of it like that until you said something Trunks."
The three friends decided that they were going to celebrate so they heading in the direction of Erasa's home so they could pick her up before going out to eat. Unfortunately they never made it there together about half of the way there a large explosion could be heard in the distance catching Gohan and Trunks off guard. They both focused in that direction and felt an immensely powerful ki…Trunks' face paled and Gohan's took on a look of sheer determination as he knew this was what they trained for…Broly was here.
"Trunks I want you to take Videl to Erasa's I'm gonna go stop him from massacring those people in that town." Gohan turned to leave only to be stopped by Videl's hand grabbing his bicep.
"Gohan I don't want to lose you…please wait until Trunks can help you before you start fighting…" Her eyes were sparkling but not because of her love for Gohan but rather the tears that were forming in her eye as she thought about the worst.
"Videl you know I would never leave you…but I can't promise that I will wait for Trunks to get there if Broly is killing innocents then I will step in." as he finished his statement he reached out and pulled her into an embrace and placed a kiss on her lips…he pushed her back into Trunks' arms and jumped into super saiyan two flying off in the direction of the explosions.
"Be careful…I love you Gohan…" Videl's voice was so low that Trunks barely heard her.
"Videl Gohan will be fine he always finds away to come out on top. Don't worry." Videl could tell that Trunks was putting on a false front because his eyes betrayed his words…he was just as worried as she was.
Gohan flew at super sonic speeds hoping that he wasn't too late to save some of the town that Broly had obviously landed in or around.
As Gohan touched down softly all he could do was gape at the destruction that Broly had caused trying to force Goku out. Walking around the rubble Gohan was trying to find Broly who was doing a good job at hiding his ki from him, suddenly Gohan's attention was drawn away from the wreckage when he heard what sounded like a cry for help somewhere inside what appeared to have been a convince store, rushing over to the rubble Gohan noticed what was definitely an arm of a small child sticking out from under a small piece of what looked to have been a wall at some point. He reached down to feel for a pulse and when his hand made contact with the small arm the hand grasped his wrist and he heard the cry for help again.
"Hang on I'll get you out of this don't worry." Gohan was trying to sound reassuring but he could tell he hadn't done a good enough jobs as the child started crying even worse. Wanting to help the kid out Gohan reached over to the wall and lifted it effortlessly off of the small child who definitely looked like he needed medical attention. As Gohan looked over the child's injuries he was torn as to if he should take the child to Bulma for medical attention or continue his search for Broly. Suddenly his decision was made for him as there was an explosion off to his right and he could make out the form of the legendary super saiyan laughing manically as he literally broke some unfortunate person in half. Gohan's rage was boiling as Broly just cast the halves of the body off to the side and glared at Gohan with hate.
"How could you have done that…they were helpless!" Gohan yelled as his aura flared to life around him.
"They were also weak and didn't deserve to live out the rest of their lives." Clearly not threatened by Gohan's aura Broly just laughed sadistically and threw a ki blast at the child in Gohan's arms, not reacting fast enough Gohan accidentally dropped the child and could only watch in horror as the blast consumed the frail body he was trying to protect. Broly seeing that he hit his mark started laughing like a deranged maniac as Gohan fell to his knees. Thinking that he had won before the battle started Broly began to approach Gohan's shaking form assuming that he was crying for the lost life that he failed to protect Broly approached with an air of confidence about him. Unfortunately what Broly didn't realize until it was too late was that Gohan was not shaking because he was crying but rather he was shaking from the uncontrollable rage that was boiling in his blood. As Broly loomed over the shaking form of Gohan he was hit with a huge blast of uncontrolled ki as Gohan exploded into his super saiyan 4 form knocking Broly back about ten feet gave him all the room he needed as he rose and immediately unleashed a furious combination of kicks and punches that all seemed to find their mark as Broly staggered under the force of Gohan's fury. Finishing off his combo with a massive kick to the side of the head Broly flew back into a building and went through the wall as if it was made of paper and not the solid concrete that it was.
"Wow either Broly isn't as strong as I thought of my training in the hyperbolic time chamber really paid off" just as Gohan finished that thought there was a huge explosion of green light as the rubble that was the building that Broly crashed into exploded outward much as it had when Gohan made his ascension to his max level. When the dust cleared Gohan saw the true form of his adversary and it was not at all calming…there was the Legendary Super Saiyan in full glory standing at about 9'3" and looking much the part of the Incredible Hulk Gohan actually felt himself twitch in fear something he hadn't felt since Cell had come back from the dead to kill his father. Thinking that he obviously had the advantage in speed because of the sheer size of his opponent Gohan was completely caught off guard as Broly slammed his fist into his stomach with enough force to topple any super saiyan Gohan began to fall to his knees only to have a knee meet his face as he bent over on his descent to the ground the impact forcing him back into the air only to be met by a hammer blow on his spine he cried out in agony as he felt something clearly break praying that it wasn't his spine Gohan twisted mid-air so that not only could he slow his descent but so he could locate his enemy as his eyes focused he managed to deflect a massive fist aiming to crush his skull, as it was Gohan was pretty sure that not only did he have at least one broken rib but he had definitely just fractured his wrists when he blocked that punch. He could feel his energy slipping away and could see dark spots creeping into his vision and was unable to block the next punch that came at him and caught him right between the eyes, as the darkness consumed him he saw a flash of gold and had one thought
"Videl I love you." Videl jolted as she was sitting with Erasa in her room looking around frantically Erasa noticed something wasn't right.
"Videl what's the matter you look like you have seen a ghost."
"I could have sworn I just heard Gohan's voice…"
"What did he say because I didn't hear him?"
"He said "Videl I love you" and then I felt this pain like I had lost something…Erasa you don't think that something has happened to him do you?" She couldn't hide the fear that was evident in her voice.
"I don't know Videl why don't we drive over to Capsule Corp. and see if Vegeta knows anything."
"Right that sounds like a good idea." They climbed into Videl's copter and with Erasa driving began the journey to Capsule Corp. just as they were landing they saw Goku and Vegeta blasting off in their super saiyan forms heading in the direction that Gohan and Trunks were fighting. When they landed they went into the living room and found Chi-Chi in tears as well as Goten looking like he was going to burst into them at any second.
"Bulma what's wrong why is everyone looking so upset?" Videl couldn't help but fear the worst as Bulma looked up and she could plainly see sympathy in her eyes.
"Videl come here your going to want to sit down for this." Bulma failed to keep her voice from cracking.
As she began to sit it she felt another jolt of the pain of loss hit her again and she fell back onto the comfy couch that Bulma was sitting on. Bulma could see the pained look on her face and could only thank Dende that she hadn't figured out how the saiyan bond worked yet.
"Videl about fifteen minutes ago we…we lost Gohan's ki signal…we don't know if he dropped it to avoid being caught or if the worst has happened but we want you to know that we are all here for you." Bulma's words cut into Videl like a sharp knife as she realized why she was feeling the pain of loss and she burst into uncontrollable sobs as Bulma wrapped her arms around her in an attempt to comfort the hurting teen.
Just as it appeared that Videl had calmed somewhat the door burst open revealing Goku carrying his eldest son who was bleeding and obviously had many broken bones. Bulma knew immediately that it wasn't good because Goku had tears in his eyes, as she rushed over to him to feel for a pulse she heard a screech that made Goku wince because of his sensitive hearing and looked to the couch only to find that Videl's water had broken and that the stress from the idea of losing Gohan had obviously forced her into labor earlier then she was supposed to have it. Chi-Chi instantly stopped crying as she helped Bulma take Videl to the infirmary as Goku followed with Gohan. As soon as the two teens were in the infirmary Gohan was hooked up to the machines and Videl was placed in the position best suited for delivering babies. Goku made his goodbyes and said that he was going to Korin's tower to retrieve some sensu beans so that Gohan could recover faster.
Bulma and Chi-Chi set to work on getting Videl comfortable because they both knew that this was most likely going to be a rocky delivery and they didn't want to lose the babies for fear that Videl might have to go on without their father anyway not wanting to know if she could manage to live with only one of her children and no mate.
Ten minutes later Goku phased into the room with a handful of sensu beans and gave one to Gohan and left two more on the table in case they were needed after the delivery and incase Gohan needed more. It was total chaos in the infirmary while the mothers did their best to prep the area for the impending birth of Gohan and Videl's children, the only thing calm was the monitors that were keeping track of Gohan as he had leveled out thanks to the sensu beans and was resting peacefully. This of course set Videl's mind at ease slightly and her contractions became calmer and were coming at a normal rate instead of how fast they were at the start of the delivery. Just as it seemed things were going to calm down a little bit Videl screamed and her face turned red as she grit her teeth and began to push the first baby was about to make its entrance…the good part about her scream was it instantly revived Gohan who was suddenly by her side masking his own pain just to show her that he was there for her. Bulma seeing the obvious discomfort that Gohan was in standing there she went to the table and grabbed another sensu bean and handed it to Gohan who happily thanked her and chewed and swallowed the bean instantly being back to full health the pain was gone in his eyes and was replaced by pure love for the woman that he was standing next to.
Then just as he was about to kiss her and tell her that he loved her she let out an ear piercing screech which was to Gohan about ten times louder thanks to his saiyan hearing, her scream was accompanied by the happy squeals of his mother it was obvious that the first baby was definitely about to make its entrance.
"Videl I need you to push…I know it hurts but I need you to do this." Bulma sounded much calmer then she looked.
"I'm here for you Videl just squeeze my hand when it hurts okay?" she nodded as she grits her teeth once more and began to push.
"That's it Videl keep pushing its almost there I can see the head come on don't give up." Bulma was concentrating hard on helping her best friend's son and his mate through this without consequence. "Come on Videl keep pushing the head is out come on you can do it."
Upon hearing that the head was out Gohan gave her a reassuring squeeze and a kiss on her forehead. "You can do this baby your bringing a life into this world they we will love and take care of…I love you."
Tears were forming in Chi-Chi's eye as she watched the love between the two teenagers first hand. The silence that had formed was interrupted by a baby crying as Bulma brought the first one into the light and had Gohan cut the cord, after handing the baby off to Chi-Chi she could see that the other one wasn't very far behind. The second one came out much easier thanks to his brother making the path for him. As Bulma brought the second one out into the light Gohan cut that cord as well and Chi-Chi handed the first one to Videl as Gohan gingerly took the second one from Bulma.
The first one was without a doubt a Son he had the unruly spikes and his eyes were coal black just like his fathers as Videl held him lovingly she looked to Gohan who's eyes were brimming with tears as he held the second one who had unruly spikes like his father but had the bright cerulean eyes of his mother.
"Gohan what are we going to name them?" Videl asked as she stroked the baby's hair.
"Well I already had two names picked out thanks to dad being able to help me read ki signatures to tell they were both male and from there Vegeta helped me pick out some names that were appropriate for saiyans." His cheeks flushed with embarrassment because he wasn't able to share them with her.
"Well what are they Gohan?"
"I was thinking that the one you have there that kinda looks like me should be Gekido and this little fella here with your eyes should be Arashi."
"Gohan those names are beautiful and I like the name you gave this little guy. He looks an awful lot like you."
"I love you so much Videl but I can't stay long Broly is still on the loose and I don't want to risk him hurting anyone else."
"Be careful Gohan. I have your mother and Bulma here to help me take care of these two."
He leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss and backed away powered up.
"I promise Videl that this time I will come back under my own power." After he finished his sentence he jumped out the window and blasted off to help the others fight Broly silently hoping he wasn't too late.
"Videl do you mind if I hold Arashi it certainly looks like you have your hands full." Videl hadn't even noticed that Gohan had placed Arashi into her arms as well as Gekido.
"Uh sure Chi-Chi here you go…Bulma would you mind taking Gekido so I can get some rest?"
"Not at all dear, just call us if you need anything." The blue haired genius was beaming as she reached out to take the newest member of the Son family from Videl.
"Thanks you to I really appreciate this you know." Videl closed her eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep as the two women left the lab discussing nursery stuff and all the clothes they were going to buy for the two little bundles of joy.
