A/N: Lots of goodies in this chapter! Pregnancies, a Tournament, etc… I hope you enjoy it!
By the way, as another gift I decided to make this my longest chapter yet so you better enjoy! However, I'm very disappointed for the lack of respect this story got - if you liked it than you should have at least had the courtesy to say so... I had planned to put this chapter off for longer but decided it wouldn't be very fair to those who ARE respectful... so, being the benevolent author I am, here the last chapter ahead of schedule.
Makai Alexa: Thank you, aren't I just full of surprises? lol yeah the second wish is always a tough one eh? :P
Lourdes-Sunrise-Princess: Lol thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this so much :D I think you'll like what I have planned after this story too... muahahaha...
Sonic-richard: Tell me something... What is it with you people thinking my stories are over many chapters before they actually are? Is the story really that bad that you want it over and done with quickly?! lol j/k ...and as for your question - Yes.
Princesa de la Luna: Thank you! I hope you like the new and last chapter :P
Shinen no Hikari: Uub is the reincarnation of the evil Majin Buu. In DBZ, after Buu is destroyed, Goku asks him to be reincarnated as a good person, so they may battle again. King Yemma overhears the request and complies with it. But since Gohan was the one to destroy Buu, and Goku never fought Buu - and Gohan or anyone else who had to deal with the demon wouldn't ever dream of seeing the creature again - Uub does not exist in my fic… Sorry.
Nine months after the death of Buu and the renewal of the Earth and its people it marked a special day for Gohan and Videl… that day, would be the day their baby girl would be born. The moment Videl had shot up from bed and cried out in alarm Gohan had already jumped up, gotten them dressed and was flying them to the hospital faster than you could say "baby on board".
It helped that Goku and Vegeta could sense the new Ki in Videl's belly rise, signaling that it was time, so they were able to wake their own families, call friends, and meet Gohan and Videl not that much after. Once Gohan had landed he walked up to the front desk and told them what was happening, he almost had to bark for them to get moving when they just sat there in surprised silence – how often do you see a man come out of no where carrying his pregnant wife with ease while she's just sitting there in her husband's arms with a tolerant look?
"PUSH!" The doctor ordered from somewhere between Videl's legs.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST FIVE HOURS?!" Videl screamed, wondering if she should have taken her mother-in-law's advice and taken a blunt instrument with her… but then again, Gohan was so fast in attending her that she didn't even have time to blinked before they where flying toward the hospital. But MAN this little sucker did NOT want to be born!
"I can almost see the head, just take deep breaths and push more!" The doctor insisted, nervous that she might actually kick him in the jaw like he knew she wanted to.
"If you tell me to push one more time I'm going to RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!" Videl snarled viciously. In Gohan's mind, he imagined Videl going Super-Saiyan right about now, but as it were he sat quietly next to her, though inwardly in a state of anxiety, clutching Videl's hand with a serious expression.
"Please Videl… don't yell at the doctor, he's only trying to help…" Gohan said, trying to sound as soothing as possible without having his wife turn her wrath toward him; he frowned in concern at her pained expression instead.
"If he wants to help than he should hurry up and do his job!" Videl growled and groan in pain as her body contracted with great force once again..
"But he-"
"I SEE IT! I have a hold of the head! Just a little more! That's it!" The doctor cried excitedly.
"AUGHH!" Videl arched back and sighed when she heard the cry and felt immense relief.
"Congratulations Mrs. Son, it's a girl." The doctor said happily, also relieved that it was finally over. "Mr. Son - would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" he asked gently. Gohan glanced at his wife momentarily before kissing her forehead and walking over to the doctor. Once the job was down, the doctor handed the baby over to the nurse to get it cleaned and wrapped in a blanket, soon after she returned to the parents with the baby.
"Oh… she's beautiful…" Videl cooed as she eagerly accepted her baby, wrapping her arms around her daughter securely. Gohan wiped tears from his eyes and knelt down next to them, affectionately running a big hand gently over the peach-fuzz of his daughter's head.
"I'm a father…" he whispered to himself in disbelief, kissing his daughter's tiny head before smiling tearfully at his very content looking wife. "Thank you…" he choked out. Videl smiled fondly at him and accepted a kiss from him enthusiastically before turning back to their daughter who gurgled in baby-talk, demanding attention.
"Hello Pan, welcome to Earth…" Videl cooed. Baby Pan looked up at her mom with great big eyes and then at her father, both parents smiled lovingly at her and she giggled and gurgled happily at the attention she got from them.
"Amazing! Just born and she's already with her eyes open and laughing! This is rarely heard of…" The doctor said nearby. Videl was also curious about this and glanced over at her distracted husband who was looking at their child with such wonder that it made it seem like he had never seen a baby before.
'Maybe… it's because Pan is part Saiyan? Maybe they're born different? We are different species – humans and Saiyans… that could be why…' Videl reasoned, smiling when Pan yawned and curled up to her mother, holding on to her father's finger. Videl felt cold and ached for her baby in her arms when the nurse had taken her. 'Bloody procedures…' Videl thought bitterly and smiled when her husband kissed her temple reassuringly.
Some time after Videl was transferred to a room with a real bed to relax and was given her freshly bathed and registered baby once more, their friends and family flocked inside cheering and congratulating her. "Wow! Man! Gohan… a father!" Krillin grinned from ear to ear. Gohan smiled proudly, puffing his chest.
"How's it feel son?" Goku asked, hugging Chichi close to her while happy tears still fell down her eyes.
"Well… I'll tell you in a week." Gohan responded with a laugh, the statement making the others laugh as well.
"Yeah… wait until she wakes you up every two hours at night!" Bulma commented, giving Trunks a teasing look, glad for her son and husband who supported her weight from her own pregnancy – though she was only a cpuple months pregnant. Gohan sighed happily, not at all caring that he wasn't going to be able to get much sleep for the next couple years and looked down at his girls.
"She's so precious…" Chichi said – also glad for her husband's support - as she was also about a few months pregnant herself - as he walked them over to Gohan and Videl with her baby.
"Yes… she is beautiful isn't she?" Videl agreed, kissing her daughter's soft head again. "Trunks, would you like to hold her? It could be practice for when you get your brother or sister…" Videl offered with a knowing smile, knowing that Trunks would care for Pan just like a brother anyway – since Gohan was like a father to him. Trunks glanced to his mother who smiled and nodded, leaning on Vegeta for support. Vegeta grunted in annoyance but that did not stop him from placing an arm firmly but still gently around his mate to further secure her, this action made Bulma's heart skip a beat or two – maybe he was finally actually acknowledging his feelings for her?
"Thank you, I'd love to!" Trunks said happily, walking over to accept the offered baby carefully.
"Watch her head…" Gohan said, walking over to stand next to him while Videl looked on affectionately. Trunks smiled as he held baby Pan in his arms.
"She is kinda cute…" He admitted fondly as little Pan giggled and waved her tiny fists around joyfully. "Oof… she packs quite a punch!" Trunks laughed when Pan's little hand accidentally struck his chest.
"'Not surprising that her power-level is higher than Kakarot's was at birth." Vegeta commented gruffly. 'Though it's nowhere near as high as mine was!' he thought proudly.
"Maybe she'll grow up to be stronger than her mother and father!" Yamcha chimed in. While everyone laughed at that Gohan went over and placed a hand on Trunks' shoulder, looking down at him proudly. It was a touching scene to say the least and they all, the group, save for maybe Vegeta and Piccolo, wished it would never end.
Not long after, after Videl and Gohan eased into parenthood, it would mark another happy day as Chichi and Bulma had their babies on the same day. The day was frantic and crazy to say the least as Goku and Vegeta were almost at their throats with unstable nerves, having to deal with their wives in labor and chaos of friends and family preparing and rushing from one way to another. It was a little confusing at first, family and friends being torn between going to one room to another to visit the women.
That day Bra, the daughter of Bulma and Vegeta was born, sporting her mother's blue hair and father's fiery temper –even as a newborn. Also being born that day, though a bit early, was Goten, the youngest son of Chichi and Goku, looking like a split-image of his father, even his big, goofy grin that he wielded just hours after birth. The families took a week to stay at home and settle with their new babies. Trunks took the responsibility of big brother readily, holding his baby sister and even getting a smile out of her.
When Vegeta held Bra for the first time it was almost sad that no one had a camera to see the totally out of character expression on the usually stoic or angry man. Bra caught her father's finger and giggled, Vegeta's tough demeanor had melted a fraction and he smirked at the child, which was as close to a smile as was expected from him. From that day forward everyone knew that Bra would be the one to temper Vegeta's inner demons… perhaps the Saiyan Prince's new disposition would transfer over to Trunks as well? Only time could tell.
After a week had passed, wherein much shopping and planning was made, Gohan decided it was time to search for a way to earn money without having to depend on Videl's rich father… he decided in the end, that the best way to do this, and train his body as the same time, would be to enter the resurrected World's Martial Arts Tournament… even if that meant he would have to fight his father-in-law… who he wasn't too sure if he would actually be much of a challenge anyway.
The day of the tournament had arrived quicker than expected but it was not like anyone was complaining! All around people gathered, eager and excited to see their champion defeat the competition again and see who could possibly want to challenge his title. It was all very exciting and Gohan was more than thrilled when all his friends had decided to accompany him and his family.
Gohan smiled, greeting his friends enthusiastically after he had waited for them, making funny faces at his daughter so she would laugh while they had waited. When everyone had arrived he went over and signed his name, surprised when Goku and Vegeta followed suit. "Hey, you guys aren't going to compete?" Gohan asked, turning toward the other Z-Fighters.
"Well… Gohan… to tell you the truth, we all know that you'll destroy us if we even attempt to fight you." Tien laughed. Gohan blushed and shrugged sheepishly.
"What can I say? I don't know my own strength…" Gohan said and grinned almost insolently.
"Pfft… yeah RIGHT." Krillin laughed, soon the group of friends and family were laughing along with him. After the preliminaries, in which Vegeta almost got disqualified for almost killing someone, the matches were paired off. Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta beat everyone they had to fight against with excruciating ease, working their way up to the top while Hercule Satan squirmed uncomfortably from where he sat watching, knowing he would have to fight one of them in the end…
Soon it was only four people left standing. While Goku had been paired off to fight someone who actually managed to advance far and beat him just as easily as the others, he sat and watched as Gohan fought Vegeta… he knew his son would win but that meant he would have to fight him with everything he had at the end. 'Good thing I learned a new trick when I was in the otherworld… won't he be surprised…' Goku thought, smiling a triangular – cat-like – smile as he watched the match excitedly.
The second the announcer announced the match to begin Vegeta had all but rammed himself into Gohan, intending on pushing him off the ring… he successfully managed to surprise Gohan enough to have him stagger back while blocking more punches from the Saiyan Prince, but he did not fall like Vegeta intended. Vegeta's fists were caught by Gohan quicker than the Saiyan Prince could even throw at him. Gohan smirked as Vegeta struggled to free himself. "Stop… mocking me… boy!" Vegeta growled, trying to step forward further to move Gohan off the ring, who was tantalizingly close the edge… unfortunately for him, Gohan wouldn't budge.
"Sorry." Gohan said without being the least bit, unable to keep the mirth from his voice.
"LET GO!" Vegeta snarled, gritting his teeth and glaring up at the taller man. How dare he mess with him like that! He was the Saiyan Prince – he was supposed to be respected and feared!
"Have it your way!" Gohan laughed and, still holding onto Vegeta, lifted the smaller Saiyan up and over the ring, showing an impressive feat of acrobatics as he bent backwards, shoving Vegeta over head and down onto the grassy floor before finally releasing him. Vegeta fell to the ground with a thud and a shocked expression.
"Wow… that's got to be anti-climatic for him…" Krillin commented from the stalls.
"Do you think Goku's going to have a tough time?" Tien asked, leaning forward to catch a glimpse at Vegeta's priceless expression.
"Not sure… Goku told me he had a plan…" Krillin admitted.
"Hmm…" Roshi murmured, eyeing his former pupil critically – Goku didn't look the least bit worried… what did he have up his sleeve?
"YOU CHEAP BASTARD!" Vegeta yelled, balling his fists and trying to burn holes into Gohan's laughing face with his eyes.
"Ah lighten up Vegeta, we can have a rematch when we all go home, I promise." Gohan said in between bouts of laughter. With Vegeta down there was another fight before whoever won it would fight the champion – Hercule. Now that Vegeta was out of the way the last two to fight were Gohan versus Goku. As they were announced people were on the edge of their seats – everyone recognized Goku to be the former champion before Hercule and were excited about who would win... The thought of the former champion challenging the current was very exciting, but the thought of a "rookie" "out of nowhere" even though the crowd knew that Gohan was the son of Goku, since it was announced, challenging Hercule was possibly even more exciting.
"Ready son?" Goku asked, rolling his shoulder and stretching. Gohan was so excited and eager to fight he paced in his spot, looking like a caged tiger.
"Man I wouldn't want to be either of them right now…" Krillin muttered. Piccolo, who was nearby, seemed to grunt in agreement, receiving a shocked look from those in hearing range.
"Give it everything you've got dad!" Gohan said, cracking his knuckles and practically bouncing on his heels.
"Absolutely!" Goku said, crouching down, waiting eagerly for the fight to be called. Gohan stood in position as well, readying for his father's attack – as soon as the match was announced a go he didn't have to wait long… "YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Goku let out a cry as he shot like a rocket toward his still smirking son.
"UGH!" Gohan shot his arms out to catch his father's fists and was pushed back several meters by the force. "Not bad!" Gohan grunted, clutched his father's arms with the hands that where blocking and, receiving a sound of alarm from his father, jumped up and spun with him several times before flinging him into the air with tremendous force.
Goku flew back seconds later, a look of sheer amusement splattered all over his face as he landed before his son. 'This is incredible! He's so powerful! I could feel it in his very hands!' Goku thought as he launched another attack, sending punch after punch at his son who blocked every one.
"Whoa… incredible! Goku can't touch him!" Piccolo muttered. Gohan suddenly pulled away and punched the air.
"What'd he do that f-" but before Krillin could finish his question they saw Goku fly back again from the force. Goku stopped himself from falling onto the grass and flipped back into the ring. Goku once again flew at his son; Gohan shot up his arm to block a particularly strong punch and raised an eyebrow.
"You're hiding something dad…" Gohan realized excitedly.
"You'll just have to wait and see…" Goku grunted, successfully blocking a ridiculously fast barrage of punches and kicks. Soon the two began to float up in the air; it was shocking enough when Goku just kept flying back into the ring, refusing to be knocked off, but now they were flying!
'J-Just tricks… they're using fancy wiring! That's all!' Hercule thought, clutching the arms of his luxurious seat fearfully.
"Are you alright Hercule sir? You're looking a bit ill…" One of Hercule's attendants asked worriedly.
"Uhh… yeah! That's it! It's just a stomach ache! I can beat those guys with both my arms tied behind my back!" Hercule said, puffing his chest.
"That's incredible! Should we tell the announcer so that you can prepare for that? I believe we have some rope left from one of your-"
"N-NO! …Uh… I mean, that's alright! I um… want to give them an um, honest fight! Yeah…" Hercule said, slouching further in his seat and swallowing nervously. Back at the fight Gohan and Goku were in a lock, much like Gohan and Vegeta were but this time, Gohan knew better than to try the same trick again.
"Y-You're going… to have to give me everything you've got... if you want to beat me!" Gohan grunted, grinning excitedly.
"Are... you… sure?" Goku teased, grinning right back.
"Yeah! Show me… what you've learned to do! I know you have some new trick…" Gohan managed to push Goku forward, even though neither were powered-up, it was still rather easy for Gohan, it was clear however, that Goku was a lot stronger than Buu had been before going Super. Gohan wanted to see what his father could do before he finished him…
"If you say so!" Goku pushed back, getting into position. Gohan straightened and gazed curiously at his father. With a mighty yell that shook the arena and lifted the tiles up Goku forced the whirling maelstrom of power within him to awaken. Gohan stood rooted to his spot as the others behind them struggled to stay in their seats as Goku's power created torrential winds.
"So he WAS holding back something!" Tien muttered in amazement.
"Kakarot… that bastard… surpassing me again!" Vegeta snarled under his breath.
Gohan's eyes widened and he smiled even wider. When the power seeped back into the Saiyan, Goku stood as a Super-Saiyan three. "This good enough son?" Goku asked with a smirk - his voice gruff with power. Gohan gave his dad his own smirk showing the clear resemblance between father and son. As the tiles fell back down Gohan cocked his head to the side and smiled mysteriously.
"Let's see how much we… match?" Gohan teased, bracing himself to release his power.
"OH! Gohan's going to show his new ability! Wait until you see this, it's awesome!" Krillin said excitedly. The group turned their attention to Gohan who seemed to be concentrating to release his power without destroying the arena. As the winds suddenly picked up and formed a mini tornado around Gohan they watched as he and the arena began to quake. A deep hum emitted from Gohan as he kept himself under control, letting his new power out slowly so that he did not harm anyone.
The others, including the spectators, cried out in surprise when the forces, much stronger than the ones from Goku's transformation, hammered on them until they were forced to cover their eyes from a strong white light that began to surround Gohan. Gohan yelled in an effort to contain the beast that threatened to break free as his hair lengthened and spiked further before sparking like it had before, only this time instead of going from gold to platinum it went directly to the latter.
"HAHH!" Gohan let out a final cry, forcing the tiles to lift once more, almost making them crack as the white lightning surged around him. Soon his radical transformation was complete and he allowed the tiles to fall one by one as he stood gazing almost smugly at his astonished father. Goku looked into the now bright gold eyes of his son and grinned from ear to ear; seeing Gohan in his new form up close was even better than from Baba's crystal ball – he looked absolutely amazing!
"Wow…" Yamcha managed to mutter while those else who hadn't seen Gohan's new form gawked speechlessly. "W-What is he?" He asked in astonishment.
"He called it a Mystic Super Saiyan… and I'm pretty sure he can go up in ascensions like that just like a normal Super Saiyan too… though I doubt he'd need to." Trunks informed him.
"U-Unbelievable…" Piccolo muttered.
"I think I'm in trouble son!" Goku laughed, lifting up as he and his son circled each other in the air.
"Sorry dad, but I plan on winning!" Gohan said, disappearing from sight. Goku shifted his eyes quickly around him, trying to spot his opponent and smirked, closing his eyes and letting his other senses take over. Goku jerked in surprise when he felt his son everywhere.
"Here I am!" Gohan suddenly appeared behind Goku and kicked him with just enough force to stagger him but not hurt him. Goku grinned and whipped around with super-Human speed, sending his foot toward his son… unfortunately, Gohan caught his father's foot and rammed him down, sending him crashing into the ring. Goku fell with an "Oof" before being forced to roll away as Gohan flew head first toward his dad like a missile, punching several holes into the ring.
"Jeez! Are you trying to kill me?" Goku asked with a chuckle.
"Sorry dad!" Gohan laugh, flying at Goku; said Saiyan was not quick enough to block a punch that sent him flying into the wall under the seats of the spectators. People gasped and cried out in alarm, jumping out of the way as Goku almost flew through the arena, luckily Goku did not touch the ground, for his feet were above his head as Goku lay sprawled and dizzy.
"Nice… punch… son!" Goku flew back, wavering a bit as he landed. Gohan shifted into another fighting position, smiling at his father's praise.
"Ready when you are." Gohan declared, waiting for his father to get his bearings. Goku shook his head to clear it from cobwebs and shot back at his son.
'I should end this quick, I don't want hurt him more than I have to…' Gohan thought as Goku reached him; Gohan turned to the side, blocking Goku's punch and sending his own fist into his dad's side, making him fly into the stalls once more, on the other side. Once again people yelped and jumped out of the way… this time however, Goku did not get up.
"…" Gohan blinked in shock, 'Crap… I think I hit him too hard…' He thought in a panic as people went over to see the damage done.
"The winner – by knockout – SON, GOHAN!" The announcer cried. Trunks and Piccolo went over to Goku's fallen form and picked him up, setting him down on the grass bellow and giving him a Senzu-Bean; Piccolo almost had to shove it down the Saiyan's throat before Goku finally woke up enough to take the bean himself.
"Oww…." Goku muttered after the bean took effect. "Remind me never to get Gohan upset for any reason…" Goku chuckled and dusted himself off as he stood, ignoring the gasps and other shocked reactions from the spectators. Goku, Trunks, and Piccolo walked to the waiting hall as Gohan stepped off the ring. There would be a short intermission before Gohan would face the champion.
"Sorry dad!" Gohan said with concern as he walked over to join his friends who gathered.
"No! Don't be! I'm proud of you son!" Goku said, patting his son on the shoulder. Gohan smiled back and nodded, accepting congratulations from friends and family. "Say son... I was kind of wondering..." Goku trailed off and scratched the back of his head in thought.
"Yeah?" Gohan placed his attention on his father, rather than all the media and the new fans he had now somehow acquired trying to get his attention.
"With all the fighting you've been doing, why hasn't your wedding ring been bent out of shape or blown to smithereens yet?"
"Hey yeah that's right, we were wondering about that too..." Trunks said, receiving nods of agreements from the others around.
"Well..." Gohan scratched the back of his head this time, once again clearly showing the father-son resemblance between him and Goku, and shrugged. "I asked Supreme Kai for a favor... he turned our wedding rings into platinum-plated Cacheen!" He said with a wide grin.
"Hah! No kidding..." Goku grinned right back while the others, who didn't exactly know about the strongest metal in the universe, shrugged.
After the Saiyans had eaten a huge mountain of food they all bid Gohan a "good-luck" on his last match – knowing he would win by a long shot anyway. The fight against Hercule was almost laughable; Gohan had powered down and stood still while Hercule boasted about being able to beat Gohan with his eyes closed, when the fight actually begun Gohan continued to stand still, letting Hercule throw the first punch… which broke his hand…
Gohan took pity on Hercule and knocked him out quickly, not wanting to upset Videl by actually fighting and accidentally pummeling her father into a bloody pulp. The reaction of the spectators was complete and utter mute shock. All around him, except for his friends and family, people gawked disbelievingly as Hercule twitched from his spot on the grass outside the ring, completely unconscious. "T-The winner – and new Champion – GOHAN SON!" The announcer called after recovering. Soon the whole arena erupted with wild cheers and cries of excitement. Gohan smiled almost shyly and waved at them before walking off the stage, walking toward his friends and family and politely declining to speak to the press who tried to swarm him.
"Um… I hope you're not angry with me?" Gohan asked Videl tentatively. Videl smirked as she bounced baby Pan in her arms.
"Are you kidding? As much as I love my father, I had always been a little tired of my dad's bragging and boasting… it was about time someone stronger than him came along." She said, kissing her husbands cheek. After Gohan had accepted the money he had won and reluctantly accepted to have his picture taken and signed a few autographs he, his family, and his friends walked off, agreeing to meet at Capsule Corps again for a celebrations.
"Do you think this is the end of all our problems?" Trunks asked Gohan, pulling him aside as everyone made their way to Capsule Corps. Gohan frowned in thought and shook his head.
"No… I don't think so, maybe for a while but there is always trouble… but don't worry, we're strong, the Earth has a powerful group of defenders to keep it safe." Gohan said, placing a hand on Trunks' shoulder like he had before and smiled proudly, letting Trunks know the he included him as one of the "powerful defenders of the Earth."
"I guess…" Trunks admitted, smiling at Gohan as he went back to join the rest. 'But we all know you're the real guardian of the Earth now…' He thought, gazing up at the sky with a grin. 'Bad guys, I feel sorry for you if you plan on messing with this planet!' he thought with amusement and followed the others soon after.
The End.
End A/N: Yup, that's right… I've had a lot of fun writing this but it had to end somewhere! I originally had yet another sequel planned, and some of you might remember seeing it, but I never got to finish it and I've taken an indefinite break from writing fan fiction. I might write it again in the future though, (and edit this story and "Fated", fixing grammar, etc) keep a look out. Thank you all for your support and input, I appreciate it more than you know! Let me know what you thought!
