Ok so I was asked to write a bit of an epilogue with characters' reactions to the couple, and I quick did one! I definitely didn't have it in me to write the reaction of every character, because for me the interactions would probably all be about as long as this chapter, but I did decide to have fun with one character in particular x)

While I don't plan on writing a sequel for this, at least not at the moment, I did start a forum for the purpose of roleplay for anyone who wants to continue the story or start their own story while interacting with others, called Dragon Ball Omniverse. I actually for a time was a big part of a Naruto RP with a character that had a story that spanned over many groups, which is where my writing experience comes from. It's possible no one will join the group here, but I thought it'd be fun regardless. I made the group since others have dibs on characters, and the Naruto RP groups I used to be part of would allow for anyone to be any character, because each thread had different people with its own universe/stories, so it allowed for multiple people to use a character. I gotta say it was a lot of fun, and it might give me ideas for a possible sequel. MAYBE.

And if you recognize the first line in this chapter, you're a true TFS fan and know exactly which character I'm gonna fuck with hahaha.

"Fetch my laptop, pig! I'm finally gonna buy myself that submarine I've always wanted!"

Little over a year had passed since the incident with Stem. It was not all too uncommon for Goku to seemingly drop off of the face of the earth for long expanses of time, at least not to men like Master Roshi, who had seen more action (sadly not the kind he'd prefer) in his life than most men combined.

The old hermit was currently enjoying a nice relaxing evening in his favorite, and only, pink cottage on the small island he called home. However, without any action to speak of for several months, he was beginning to grow bored and restless. The white-bearded master's sudden outburst had nearly scared poor Oolong out of his seat as he leaned his elbow on the table for support, giving Roshi a careful look.

"Alright, but you're not allowed to name it after your junk-" His suspicious squinted eyes flew open wide as he was cut off when Roshi practically threw his face into the startled pig's, "Bitch, I'm buying it! I'm namin' it!"

To Oolong's fortune, he didn't have to suffer the awkwardly tense moment for long when, just a second later, a familiar high-pitched whistle-like sound pierced both of their ears and turned their attention toward the door in unison.

It was Roshi who recovered from the shock first, his wide sunglasses-hidden eyes returning to normal with a twitch of his eyebrows, "That sounded a lot like-"

"Hey, Master Roshi! Long time no see!" The familiar voice of one Son Goku, followed by his even more familiar goofy chuckle, sounded through the small screened window of his new door. The orange clad Saiyan had heard of the previous door's tragic demise at the hands of one powerful - and very alluring - wild-haired Saiyan girl, and thought it best to announce his presence and spare this new door successor the potential pain of another beatdown.

Goku knew just how persuasive those hands of hers could be...

A small rustling was heard behind the door before it began to slowly open, revealing the familiar old wizened face of the turtle master as he stepped out onto his small porch with Oolong in tow.

"Well look who finally decided to come back from the Tournament of Power, Mr. "I'll be with you guys in a jiffy"!" The old man scolded in a nonchalant manner as he was stepping out of the door, "You know, a while ago there was actually someone looking... for... you..?" Roshi slowly trailed off after he had fully emerged from his house to get a good look at Goku and the...

Baby? He was holding a baby?

A very spiky-haired baby girl, with one giant forward-curved spike just like Goku. Said Saiyan was currently standing with the sleeping baby girl tucked snugly in his arms as he stared back at Roshi's stunned expression with a wide-eyed curious innocence of his own, "Really? Someone was looking for me? Who was it?"

He was either oblivious to the fact that Roshi and Oolong were staring in slight shock at the small infant in his arms, or he was oblivious to the fact that he had one in his arms at all.

"Um, Goku..." Roshi started, trailing off for a second as if waiting for Goku to notice the infant-sized elephant on the island on his own, 'Geez! Another baby? That woman can't possibly afford to feed even more Saiyan mouths than she already has to!'

The old master didn't pause for too long before he determined that the confused-looking Saiyan wasn't gonna pick up on his tone, and so continued, "You didn't happen to kidnap an actual baby this time, did you? I thought I heard Chi-Chi say she was stopping after Goten?"

Goku's eyes widened while his mouth formed a small circle in realization, as if finally noticing that he was cradling a small baby when he tilted his head to look at the adorable slumbering angel in his arms, laughing nervously while using one arm to rub the back of his head, "Ehehehe... Yeah, about that..." The Saiyan took a long awkward pause as he considered his next words, a small blush forming on his face, "This is my daughter, Celerity..."

Roshi's eyebrows twitched in focus as he took note of Goku's uncharacteristic behavior, which caused him to shift his gaze to study the infant just a little bit more carefully, 'You know, now that I think of it, that spiky hair looks an awful lot like-'

The old hermit's thoughts were cut off by a second whistle-like sound, startling both himself and Oolong as a mess of wild spiky hair suddenly appeared behind Goku, along with a pair of slender arms now draped over the Saiyan's shoulders and hooked loosely around his neck.

And to his even greater surprise, instead of startling Goku or immediately putting him on the defensive, the Saiyan male's nervous expression from before immediately melted into a warm affectionate smile as he turned to look back over his shoulder toward the familiar head of spikes behind him.

Whatever Roshi was about to say in response was stopped short by - to his even greater surprise - a very familiar feminine voice.

"I don't know how you do it, Goku! I couldn't find this place with Instant Transmission until you teleported here first and I sensed your energy!" Caulifla exclaimed with a giggle against the back of the Saiyan male's neck as she hugged the now-snickering man from behind.

A pleasant shiver ran down Goku's spine as he felt her place a tender playful kiss on the back of his neck, before he moved to gingerly rub his hand along her forearm as it remained hooked around his neck, "Don't sweat it, Cauli. I'm just familiar with their energy signature here, and the location." His smile widened slightly before he grabbed hold of her wrist to lift her hand just enough to place an equally tender kiss on her palm, "You'll get it eventually, sweetheart."

Even after all these months, hearing Goku call her that still made Caulifla's heart flutter. Having mastered the Kaioken (the special technique Goku was going to show her before Stem's attack), she was well on her way to obtaining Saiyan God, especially with all the times Goku had very lovingly "donated" small amounts of god ki into her during every "appreciation contest" that they'd had over the months.

Whether it was actually working or not, she wouldn't give up those particular "training" sessions for the world, because, either way, they made her see heaven.

However, after what had happened with Stem, Caulifla had made it a point to have Goku teach her Instant Transmission so he couldn't pull anymore self-sacrificing heroic bullshit on her, and was currently focused on mastering it first. With her ability to sense energy not quite as trained as Goku's, she was having a hard time pinpointing locations to teleport to even on the same planet, let alone the galaxy or universe.

She was, however, very good at pinpointing Goku's energy specifically, of which she'd made a staunch priority in mastering ASAP. She was able to instantly teleport to him from planets away without even a thought, which was a talent she abused many times to have all kinds of fun with the Saiyan who, honestly, didn't mind one bit.

She had finally gotten her Goku-tracker, which she'd wanted ever since first arriving on Earth, and she was damn well gonna make thorough use of it!

Their tender moment was interrupted by the previously confused Roshi - having by now begun to slowly put all the pieces together - with a sudden shriek as he pointed towards the girl behind Goku, "Eh!? It's you! You're still here!?" While his sunglasses hid his wide-eyed shock behind them, they didn't hide his eyebrows that had all but risen past his forehead, 'Actually, it's not all that surprising now. But don't tell me...'

Next to Goku's suddenly startled features at the hermit's outburst, the equally surprised expression of Caulifla's face bobbed into view as she stood up on the balls of her feet to look over Goku's shoulder and at the gawking old man, before she flashed him a toothed grin.

"Hey, you old pervert! How've you be-" Caulifla had shifted to wave a hand at Roshi from over Goku's shoulder, before she was cut off when Celerity began to cry loudly in Goku's arms, having been woken up by the old man's outburst.

Goku had begun to coo softly at his daughter in an attempt to calm her back to sleep, while Caulifla's eye twitched in annoyance, 'That loud lecherous old...' Her thoughts trailed off with a mental growl, 'I know I promised not to kill him, but-' Her thought was abruptly cut off by another... more devious one that popped into her head as she eyed the still-stunned man. One that had formed an equally-evil (and equally-adorable, as Goku would call it) grin on her face.

She'd heard all about the hermit's shameless weakness from 18, who hadn't seemed all-too-surprised to find out about Goku and her, and much less about him and Chi-Chi. It was almost as if the android had been waiting for those two to finally separate. Her exact words had been "So Goku does have a brain, after all." followed by "Lucky him." after 18 had sized the Saiyan girl up, if that was any indication.

Now, as for the loud pervert who had rudely woken up her little girl, she decided to have a bit of "fun" at the soon-to-be bloodless man's expense.

Said old man was watching the increasingly-apparent Saiyan couple now more attentively as Caulifla unhooked her arms from around Goku's neck, 'She didn't...'

"Goku?" Caulifla's all-to-sweet voice rang out to cut Roshi off as she took a step out from behind the taller Saiyan male and turned toward him, while said Saiyan stopped his sweet murmurings to turn a curious look over his shoulder at the beautiful woman behind him, "Yeah, sweetheart?"

Roshi's heightened brow immediately twitched in a brilliant mix of both realization and stark confusion as Caulifla began to smile sweetly at Goku, 'What the hell happened over the past year!?'

"You're hopeless." Caulifla giggled fondly at the orange-clad man next to her, "Here, lemme calm our daughter down."

If Roshi had been cracking before, that one finally shattered him. As Goku turned to hand the small wailing infant to her, Caulifla couldn't hide the grin on her face at the way both the hermit and Oolong's jaws nearly hit the floor.

"Eh!? What!?" Roshi immediately sputtered out, startling Goku after he'd handed Celerity over to Caulifla, who just continued to grin at the old man, "Did you just say she's your daughter!? As in... the both of you!?" The old man was nearly fuming, though for another reason, 'Goku! You lucky bastard! But-' "What the hell happened while you were gone!?"

Oolong had recovered as well, at least enough to pick his jaw off the ground in order to form words as he eyed the now-nervous Saiyan, "Did I hear that right?! Did you have another baby that's not with Chi-Chi?!"

Said Saiyan was laughing nervously as he handed Celerity over to his mate behind him, having his eyes closed with a hand rubbing the back of his head and a blush even redder than his gi, "Ehehehe... It's a... It's kind of a long story!"

Caulifla found that he couldn't be more adorable right now.

This was gonna be very fun.

"Yep. Long story short - Goku and I had a baby." The Saiyan girl's sweet smile turned into a sweeter grin at the twitching old man as she cradled the crying Celerity to her chest, making sure to tilt her head just enough to "accidentally" show off the deep set of teeth marks that were lovingly replanted on the pulse point of her neck just earlier this morning.

She couldn't tell which was more priceless - the adorably-increasing blush on her mate's face, or the small tinge that appeared on the faces of the other two at the implications that mark meant to them.

'That girl really was after Goku. The lucky bastard. But to think that she actually got a baby out of him...' He hadn't been too surprised at the implication that he was no longer with Chi-Chi, but he assumed Goku would be too clueless to notice even this alluring woman's charms and interest in him.

She seemed pretty sweet though, and very... The old wizened master's nose twitched as he fought to strengthen his capillaries against the onslaught of mental images of her that that intimate mark on her neck had aroused.

But as good as he was at blocking mental images, there was nothing that would save him from what she was about to do.

Caulifla continued to smile sweetly yet... with an unsettling hint of wickedness as she rocked her upset infant in her arms, "And you went and upset her with your loud screeching, so..." Trailing off, the Saiyan girl took a deep breath before releasing a loud ear-shattering scream that began to shake the entire island, exerting an enormous amount of power with a weight that nearly flattened the two stumbling island residents as they panicked and fought for their footing.

The waves began to grow more violent, lapping at the two Saiyans' feet from where they stood. Goku had taken a small step back with a small surprised gasp at her sudden outburst, watching in confusion as her dark spiky hair began to grow more wild, "Cauli, what are you doing!?" Was she really going to-

"Just having a bit of fun." Caulifla managed to growl out through gritted teeth with a mischievous wink as she forcefully brought her energy out to the surface, forcing fine red fur to grow along her arms, back, and stomach, while a tail sprouted from the base of her spine. Electricity began arcing around her body, though her powerful outburst didn't seem to affect the baby all too much.

She'd be calm in a minute anyway.

Oolong, however, wasn't calm in the slightest, "Are you trying to sink the whole island!?" Master Roshi had merely fallen on his ass while Caulifla became bathed in light next to Goku, who wore a look of shock - not out of confusion, but rather fully aware of what she was doing, 'Doesn't she realize that she..'

Caulifla's intense black orbs were completely hidden behind the bright light that finished her transformation, fading to reveal a pair of captivating amber eyes with pronounced dark pupils. Powerful arcs of electricity now crackled and hissed around her protectively, as if to guard the wailing infant in her arms from any form of harm.

"Sorry about that." As the howling wind from her display died down, Caulifla's sweet voice sounded clearly through the air. It now held an intense vibration to it as she spoke, almost like the soft growl of a wolf, "I must've gotten a bit carried away." Her giggle came out as more of a guttural chuckle through her primal vocal chords as she watched the old hermit recover, her smirk darkening.

The white-bearded pervert merely let out a groan as he picked himself up, rubbing his backside as his eyes adjusted from the intense light from before, "A little carried away? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were trying to-" Whatever Roshi was going to say was cut off when he lurched forward with a sudden sound, his hands immediately moving to clamp his nose shut while his and Oolong's faces began to look like a tomato.

'Sh-she's...'

In front of them, Caulifla stood in her True Super Saiyan form - and aside from her wicked smirk -, completely nonchalant.

And completely topless.

Having used the form countless times together (both for sparring and for... fun), both Goku and her had gotten used to it, to the point where they almost thought nothing of it. However, while Caulifla had no problem with it right now herself - rather taking delight in watching the old man squirm -, Goku had been a bit more taken aback by the abrupt change, and the fact that they were... in front of... people...

Taking a small step toward her, a slightly flustered Goku leaned in and put a hand on Caulifla's velvet red shoulder to whisper into her ear, "Hey, Cauli flower... What exactly are you doing..?"

She felt her smirk turn into a smile at the way his breath tickled her ear, and she turned to look into her lightly-blushing man's adorable features, responding with a sweet nonchalant tone for them all to hear, "You know this is the only thing that calms her down." Goku had already begun to realize what she was up to, and she could tell by the way his eyes were widening as her smile turned into a grin and she shifted her gaze to watch the old man from the corner of her eye.

"And doing it while in my strongest form helps make her stronger too."

It was Oolong who first found his voice, watching out of the corner of his eye as the poor master struggled to keep his blood in his face, "Doing what makes her stronger how..?"

Roshi could feel his knees shaking with his wavering resistance as he began to sweat bullets in front of them, 'Perfectly round, rosy pink and stiff as erasers, and-' His eyes suddenly shot open at what he saw, before he immediately ran into the house screaming, with Oolong right behind him, "Where are the tissues!?"

"I think they're in the-"

His cries were suddenly silenced by the sound of a loud wet explosion inside.

Caulifla merely sighed and shook her head, chuckling to herself with a roll of her eyes, "Serves you right, pervert."

Her Saiyan mate next to her could do nothing but chuckle nervously at his old master's retreating form, feeling a bit less embarrassed and yet at the same time a lot more at what his mate had done, "I know you're right, but did you really have to go that far on the poor guy?" Goku asked with almost pity for the man as he turned to his wife and now silent daughter, whose head was bobbing lightly as she softly suckled from her mom.

The True Super Saiyan girl responded by reaching out to pull Goku into a gentle one-armed hug around his waist while tilting her head to rest against his shoulder, a gesture he returned with an arm around her shoulders and his head resting on top of hers as they listened to the sound of Master Roshi and Oolong scrambling about to clean up the mess, which admittedly had earned a silent chortle from the two Saiyans.

"Hey, I didn't kill him, just like I promised I wouldn't." Caulifla's smile had widened at the thought, her voice growing softer as she felt her daughter slowing down the more tired she became, "And she's calm now."

Goku felt a smile creep itself onto his own features while he gave his mate a gentle squeeze around her shoulders. She sighed as she felt his fingers playing with the soft fine fur on her upper arm; His smile turning into a playful smirk when he stole a glance down to watch his daughter feeding from her.

"I guess that means she takes after me then, huh?"

That joke earned a sudden fit of laughter from the girl in his arms as she removed her hand from around his waist to cover her mouth, her bouncing chest lightly forcing their daughter to disengage from her nipple. Caulifla immediately stopped her laughter and the two parents watched in silent wide-eyed horror as Celerity's face began to scrunch up, as if she were about to cry.

'Oh-' '-shit!'

However, it was to their pleasant surprise when she didn't cry, and instead...

"ACHOO!"

Their daughter let out an adorable little sneeze, her eyes squinted from the sensation before settling back down in her mother's arms.

The two Saiyans merely stood frozen in place, still wearing a horrified expression with their gazes turned up to where Kame House... used to be. A loud crash had been all they heard following Celerity's violent sneeze, before they'd looked up up to see nothing but the bottom floor, a few broken wall panels, and a very startled Roshi and Oolong as they were busy cleaning up the...

"Oh my kami! It's everywhere!"

Uh oh! What was everywhere? Was it nose blood or...

(Yeah, it was blood, I'm pretty sure...)

This was a cute/funny idea I quick came up with. Well, funny because it's Roshi, and I always have fun writing stuff for him lol. Sort of a callback to the first episode of Z, now that I think of it. Goku arrives at Kame House with a surprise kid. So this chapter also sets up who their baby is - a girl named Celerity (play on celery) with mainly the same spiky hair as Caulifla, but with a larger spike in the front like Goku.

And, she's pretty strong for only being a few months old, since her sneeze blew a house away xP

So now if anyone wants to entertain a sequel for this (see me first though), now you have the identity of their child to work with ^_^

Btw in case no one got it, the reason Caulifla laughed when Goku said Celerity takes after him was because he was referring to appetite. That was the joke lol.

Also, speaking of kids. About Goten... Well by now, everything between Goku and Chi-Chi has long been settled. Word hasn't spread too far about it yet. Goten sees both his mom and his dad, since he still loves them both and they love him. So, at the moment, he's with Chi-Chi. It's not that he abandoned everyone or anything. Caulifla's gone on record to call Goku's youngest son a cutie (little bit of bias since he's the spitting image of his dad) and Goten liked how Celerity's hair kinda looks like his (even though it's only the one spike in the front while the rest is like Caulifla's xP)

And to storybook thumb, Caulifla wouldn't have to put up with it, because she wouldn't be like Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi has gone on record to put Gohan's academics over the fate of the world. Caulifla, like Goku, is a fighter, and they'd raise their kid the same way they live their lives, to be a fighter like them. Unlike Chi-Chi, Caulifla would be supportive of Goku's behavior because not only does she share it, but she encourages it by wanting him to train/teach her to become stronger in the same way Goku trains himself.

And Goku does work. His constant job has been training to protect the planet and people he cares about, protecting the planet and people he cares about, and being dead as a result of protecting the planet and people he cares about. Over and over. And hell, during the Saiyan arc, Chi-Chi jumped over Goku's battered paralyzed body so she could scoop up Gohan (who was merely unconscious) and walk off with him without even batting an eye at Goku, while Bulma actually either cried or nearly cried for him while asking if he was ok. So yeah, I think even Bulma would be better than Chi-Chi. She's been more involved in the warriors' struggles against the bad guys and has been more supportive of them too. Vegeta even more blatantly left Bulma to take care of Trunks on her own at first, and she still supports him despite him having a worse demeanor than Goku. Caulifla would be even more supportive because, like I said, she's just like Goku. She loves fighting. She'd support that, and join him in DOING it. She could actually help Goku and spare him from having to make any sacrifices.

Chi-Chi gives me (and a whole slew of other people) the impression that she doesn't have a good grasp of proper priorities half the time. Goku's job is pretty much to make sure everyone else on the planet can continue to have a job and a family to come home to. He's got a pretty extensive job history in that department. It's a job that doesn't have a paycheck, but neither do stay-at-home parents/spouses get paychecks, so... do they not have jobs of their own too?

And considering this is a Goku x Caulifla fic, of which Chi-Chi can't be a part of, I was actually pretty nice to her. It says a lot when other people agree that her actions seem believable based on her canon behavior, and it says a lot when TFS managed to make her a more likable character even though she's still portrayed as being overbearing with way out-of-whack priorities (because they did have her being more supportive of GOKU at least, and the importance of what he was doing, and I think they cut out things like her ignoring Goku after his battle with Vegeta). Though it does seem like you agree with me that Chi-Chi would do the same thing to Goku as in my fic, since you seem to hate him too. The way you talk about him from Chi-Chi's perspective, do you honestly think she'd stay with him with the attitude you're saying she has? xP Honestly, if you're a fan of Chi-Chi, you brought it upon yourself in reading this fic. Unless it's to help, I don't read fics that involve characters not being paired with the ones I like. It feels like cheating on them lol.

Anyway, I do hope this was a decent epilogue. I started it like 2 hours ago and only had a rough idea of what I wanted as I wrote it out. But this is definitely everything that I can really put into this. It's not impossible for me to be hit with inspiration like this again maybe, but most of my focus is on other creative media since it's part of my actual job. However, if someone does ever want to make a sequel, I'll stay involved as a betareader to make sure it at least meets the expectations people would have from this story, and that it would also keep consistent elements/ideas/personality traits from this story (basically so they don't suddenly seem OoC and/or forget to do or say things you'd expect them to. Like Caulifla's drive/promise to keep Goku from having to shoulder so much danger on his own, and also that bite mark is a staple xP)

I am really glad to have been a part of this experience, and thank you all for sharing it with me!
