Preview from last chapter

"Good, I'm glad to hear that. Now let's get out of here. I think Pan and Trunks are here. But first you need to get Bra and Trunks out of the house tonight." Vegeta said as he walked out of the gravity room. Goten just stood there for a few minutes still in shock. Vegeta just gave me permission to claim his daughter and he called me by my name and he thanked me. What the hell is going on? I knew Vegeta changed, but he has changed even more. A few years ago he started showing his feelings for Bulma and his kids. Lately he has been showing his feelings more and more. This just took the cake though; he had actually called him by name and said that he now had his respect.

On with this chapter

Goten was so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear or even feel Bra come in until she slipped her arms around his waist and said, "He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No, on the contrary he just talked to me," Goten said coming out of his trance.

"About what?" Bra asked afraid that her father had threatened to kill Goten if he didn't break up with her.

"You."

"What about me?"

"Maybe you better sit down, it's quite unVegeta like."

"What?" Bra asked getting impatient.

"Well the first words out of his mouth were, and I quote, 'So have you marked her yet?'"

"What? Are you kidding me?" Bra was shocked.

"No I'm serious. But that isn't the half of it. When I said no he asked me why not. When I told him why, first he gave me permission to mark you and them he thanked me for waiting for you to be ready and wanting his permission first. Oh but that isn't the best part, the best part is, are you ready, he called me Goten. He actually used my name."

"You know what that means?" Bra said almost jumping up and down.

"What," Goten was confused.

"He approves of you," Bra said thinking of how she was going to talk Goten into her next idea.

"That's what he said, well not in the same words."

"So, now I have a question for you," Bra said trying to look innocent.

"Okay,"

"Now since you have daddy's permission to mark me, will you?" Bra asked with pleading eyes.

"Only if you're truly ready," Goten said taking Bra into an embrace and holding her against his chest.

"Oh, I'm ready, I'm more than ready. Have been for awhile, I just didn't know how to go about asking dad if you could mark me, I guess you had the same idea."

"I wouldn't have marked you without his permission. Are you sure you're ready?"

"More than ever, I know you're the one I want and I want to be yours and only yours."

"Good, I want to be yours and only yours too," Goten said kissing the spot on Bra's neck that he would mark the next time they were together.

"Next time we are together I want you to claim me," Bra said pulling away and walking out of the gravity room.

"Oh don't worry, I will. You can count on that," Goten said with a goofy grin walking out of the gravity room behind Bra.

While Bra and Goten were talking

"Mom, dad, I missed you, but why are you home so early? I thought that you weren't coming home until next week," Pan said giving her parents a hug.

"Well the convention was canceled because there was an emergency with a few of the doctors and they couldn't make it so they said that they would reschedule for another time. Oh well its back to work tomorrow," Gohan said.

"How was the trip?" Pan asked her mom.

"Fun while it lasted. But like you father said back to work tomorrow," Videl said. It wasn't that she didn't like her work, she loved it, it's just she needed a vacation, same went for Gohan.

"Hey at least you two are the bosses," Pan said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, but we have to work the hardest. But what can we say we love every minute of it," Gohan said wrapping his arm around Videl's waist.

"Hey Gohan," Goten said as he walked out of the gravity room behind Bra.

"What's up little brother?"

"Do you think Trunks and Bra could stay over at the house tonight, please," Goten begged. Goten lived with Gohan and Videl, because it was closer to school than his parents house. Goku and ChiChi didn't have a problem with it because they knew that Gohan would keep him under control. Besides it meant that they had the house to themselves.

"I don't see why not, what do you think Videl?" Gohan said.

"It's okay with me, but you two get separate rooms," Videl said pointing at Goten and Bra.

"That's fine with us," Bra said. "Is it okay with you mom and dad?"

"It's fine with us, right Bulma?" Vegeta said.

"Sure," Bulma replied.

"Great, let's go. Bra why don't you ride with me," Goten said.

"That's a good idea," Bra said grabbing Goten's hand and running out the door. She didn't take any clothes because she already had some over at Pan's and besides her and Pan shared clothes all the time. When she walked past her car she capsuled it so she would have it in case she needed it.

"Trunks why don't you ride with me? You can capsule your car and take it with you, that is if it's okay with you dad," Pan suggested.

"That's fine with me," Gohan said.

"Well then we'll see you at the house," Pan said rushing out the door but not before saying, "Bye Bulma and Vegeta, thanks for letting us stay over while everyone was gone and thanks for letting Bra and Trunks come over. See ya later."
