Chapter 37

It had been a week since the dinner disaster. Trunks and Laura finally managed to put everything behind them so that they could finally be a couple after months of being just friends. Trunks confessed his feelings to Laura again and she finally accepted it.

After much convincing, Laura finally gave in and admitted her feelings to Trunks, who couldn't have been happier. He found the woman of his dreams and a suitable wife. However, Trunks and Laura weren't engaged yet while Goten and Sara were growing closer and closer to each other...

A week later... October...

Sara visited Laura as they decided to have a bit of girl time. They lay on Laura's queen sized bed and their laughter echoed from the room. They enjoyed each other's company and they were both content.

"I'm really glad for you, Laura. It took a while but you and Trunks finally got together. What did I tell you? I saw a future with you two together and I'm never wrong" Sara said with a wide smile and Laura playfully rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm relieved things worked out between us. Now we both are in a relationship and I think we both have a good match" Laura said and noticed Sara giving her a teasing look with a small smirk.

"At least I got together with mine a bit earlier. You let your poor guy wait so long... You're lucky that he was quite the persistent one" Sara winked at Laura and the redhead gave her friend a disapproving look making Sara laugh. Laura soon joined in and let out a sigh.

"I guess it was worth the wait but what about you and Goten? You two have grown very close to each other these past few weeks." Laura pointed out and Sara flushed. A smile came onto her lips and she let out a deep sigh.

"Yes, going out with Goten is like a dream that I never want to wake up from. I've never had such an intimate relationship with anyone. I was scared for such a serious thing but when I' with Goten, I don't mind it at all. I couldn't be more happy" Sara said and Laura smiled.

"Me neither"

Meanwhile...

"This is serious, Trunks! Could you stop laughing?!"

Trunks wiped away the tears that formed in the corner of his eyes and looked back at his friend who was waiting for him. "Sorry, Goten, but I don't know what you're stressing about! Sara did visit your parents before and it's not like the first time you're going on a date either" Trunks pointed out.

Goten's face heated up and he swallowed thickly as nervousness took over. "W-Well... I... I-It's not just another dinner at my parent's house... I'm going to propose to Sara tonight" Goten said and Trunks's eyes briefly widened.

"That's great! I'm so happy for you!" Trunks exclaimed but then raised an eyebrow. "But... Isn't it a bit too soon to marry her? I mean you haven't even known her for a year" Goten nodded in agreement but gave Trunks a reassuring look.

"It's true but Sara and I have really gotten closer over the last few months while being together. Plus, Sara and my Mom get along great!" Goten stated and Trunks nodded. He had faith in his friend's decision and knew that things would work out for him and Sara either way.

"Anyway, this is what I got her. Do you think she'll like it? There were so many that I couldn't decide but in the end I think this one is the best. Videl helped me to pick it out" Goten said as he pulled out the ring and showed it to Trunks.

The lavender haired teen whistled as he took the small ring. It was silver and had a flower on the top of it. In the middle of the flower was a gem that resembled an emerald. The ring looked plain but at the same time, it was beautiful.

"Wow, Goten. I can see that Videl helped you out" Trunks gave Goten a smug look before chuckling when he saw the male glare at him. "I'm sure she'll love it! Now all you need to do is propose. You ready, Bro?"

"As ready as I'll ever be"

Later that night at dinner...

The Son's, Sara's parents, Trunks and Laura joined in the lively dinner scene. The dinner took place at the sons and everyone was having a great time. The room was filled with eating, laughing and talking with cheerful tones.

Trunks noticed Goten's vague nervousness as he sat next to him but gave him a confident grin motivating him again. Goten also got an assuring nod from Videl who sat across him and felt his confidence get a boost.

He could do this.

After everyone finally finished with the dinner, Videl and ChiChi took some of the dishes towards the kitchen. Laura followed them to help despite ChiChi's protests that she didn't have to. Goten then looked up at Sara's Father and he gave him a small nod.

Flashback

"Sir, I came here to ask you something very important" Goten said as he stood in front of Sara's father that he visited a few days ago. The older male blinked a few times and then raised an eyebrow at the seriousness.

"Sure, ask away"

"As you know, Sara and I are in a relationship. I love Sara more than anything in this world and I want nothing more than to spend my entire life with her. That's way... That's why I want to ask your permission to ask your daughter's hand in marriage" Goten said and the older male nodded.

"I see" The male narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Can I trust my little girl's life in your hands? Can you promise me that you'll take care of her better than I have? Can you promise that you'll never hurt her?" He asked and Goten firmly nodded.

"You have my word, Sir!"

The larger male then grinned and gave Goten a pat on his shoulder. "Then you have my permission! But if you hurt my little girl, I'll make sure that you won't ever see another woman again. I know you're a good kid, but still" He said and Goten laughed with a nod.

"I understand"

End of Flashback

"Everyone! Can I have your attention!" Goten's voice reached everyone's ears and they all looked at the male. Goten turned towards Sara and took both of her hands in his. Sara looked at him in confusion while Goten took a deep breath.

"Sara, I've never fallen as hard for someone as I did with you. I love you very much and you've turned my whole world upside down. I thought that I would never find true love until I met you" Goten started.

Sara felt the tears push themselves out of her eyes and tried to resist the tears as they slowly cascaded down her cheeks. Laura, who stood next to Trunks felt her own tears started to fall and the lavender haired male put a soothing hand on her shoulder.

Goten took out a blue velvet box and everyone gasped. ChiChi was excited and giddy along with Sara's mother. Sara covered her mouth with her hands in an act of disbelief. This was actually happening.

Since she was a little girl, she dreamt of the right man and here he was proposing to her in front of their families and even their friends. This had to be a dream. If it was, she never wanted to wake up from it.

Goten slowly opened the box and inside lay the beautiful silver ring with a flower on top of it. Sara could feel her tears falling more rapidly and Laura was shocked that it was happening. Nonetheless, she was happy.

She always wanted her friend to find happiness. She was happy for Sara and at the same time, blown away by the beauty of the ring. Laura felt a small pang and scolded herself. She couldn't be jealous now, and definitely not towards Sara.

She loved Sara and would never harbor any negative feelings towards her or Goten. She felt Trunks slightly squeeze her hand and she looked up at him. "You alright, Sweetie?" He whispered to her and she nodded.

"Sara Browne, will you marry me?" Goten finally asked after he went down on his one knee. Everyone was silent and waited for Sara's answer. There was a bit of tension in the air and Sara nodded.

"Yes! Yes, I'll marry you, Goten Son!"

"Really?" Goten asked with wide eyes and the famous Son grin came onto his lips. Goku smiled as he put an arm around ChiChi and looked at the scene. He was proud of his son and he was glad that he got someone as wonderful as Sara.

"Yes, really!" Sara exclaimed shaking her head with tears still cascading down her cheeks. Goten took out the ring and slid it on Sara's ring finger. Everyone cheered and clapped, happy for the couple.

"Now I can finally have grandbabies!" ChiChi exclaimed with a wide smile and Goten couldn't help but laugh at his feisty mother. He too was looking forward to having Sara as the mother of his child one day.

Maybe even their own son.

Later that evening...

After everyone finished congratulating Goten and Sara, Laura stepped outside and admired the stars in the night sky. On this night, they shone even brighter than they usually did and there was no cloud in sight in the darkness.

She thought a bit about her life and what got her to her current point If she had never met Trunks, then maybe...just maybe she wouldn't be there right now. She was glad that she ran into Trunks again because if she didn't, then she wouldn't be as happy as she currently was.

She was stubborn at first but gradually she began to let him back in. Now they finally were a couple and her friends were getting married. How time flew... She didn't think things could escalate so quickly and change her life so drastically with just one encounter.

Laura was startled out of thoughts when Trunks came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder and glanced at her. "You seem a little distant tonight. Is everything alright?" He asked concerned.

"Everything's fine" Laura replied as she began to relax in his arms. She still had to adjust with the intimacy between her and Trunks but she found that she felt safe and secure in his embrace. In the end, it wasn't much to get used to it.

"Are you sure?"

Laura slightly turned in Trunks's arms and looked at him. "Yes" Laura replied as she managed to muster up a smile. "It's just... Everything is moving so fast" She finally said and averted her eyes back up at the night sky.

"With me or with Sara and Goten?"

"I guess with both. Before we know it, we'll be changing diapers" Laura said and then chuckled. The idea didn't sound that terrible to her considering the fact that she worked with kids. She loved children.

"You know, I'm actually looking forward to that aspect of marriage and it's not just my mother, it's me too, Laura." Trunks stated with a small smile. He turned towards her and looked her straight in the eye.

"..."

Trunks couldn't help but notice the slightly nervous look in her eyes. She obviously wasn't ready for that big step yet. He pulled her close to him again in an effort to ease her fears. He disliked the look of fear in her eyes.

"Laura, listen to me. I'm not going to ask you to marry me, at least not yet. I really do love you and I just want you to know that" Trunks said and hoped that his words would calm her nerves as well as her fears.

"I love you too." Laura said as she caressed his cheek with her small hand. She ran her hand through his silky lavender hair as she admired his clear blue eyes. Trunks closed his eyes as he enjoyed the wonderful sensation of her hand in his hair.

Three weeks later...

"Alright, I think we have the menu and the decorations covered. The venue, however, is another story. I was thinking we could go to the church. Then we can have the buffet at the Brief's. What do you think?" ChiChi asked Sara's mother who stood next to her.

"It sounds great! Sara always did want to have her wedding in a church and I don't have any problems having the reception at the Brief's. Maybe we should head over and get the last details done with" Sara's mother said and ChiChi nodded.

"Sounds good. Let's go"

The night before the wedding...

"Oh, Laura, I can't wait for tomorrow! I've dreamt about this since I was a little girl and now it was actually going to happen!" Sara exclaimed as Laura went to sit down on her queen-sized bed and she smiled.

"I'm happy for you, Sara, you deserve this. You just need to take things a bit slowly after this. Don't run into everything or you'll miss every moment because you were in a rush. If anything overwhelms you, then you have to tell Goten. After all you are his wife-to-be" Laura said and Sara nodded.

"I know. Thank you, Laura. I really appreciate it that you've been there with me from the beginning. You've always had my back and you never let me down. I don't know what I would've done without you" Sara said in a grateful tone and Laura smiled.

"Of course! That's what friends are for! I should thank you, Sara. You were there for me through everything with Trunks and when I felt down you picked me up." Laura said and they hugged each other.

"Now my best friend's getting married and her dreams are coming true so fast. If you need anything, you come to me and I'll help you." Laura stated once again and Sara nodded in agreement with a wide smile.

"Always!"

At the Son's residence...

Goten sat outside of the house while staring at the night sky filled with stars. They finished eating a while ago and he didn't want to go home just yet. He wanted to be alone and clear his mind before he went back.

It felt a bit unrealistic that he was marrying the woman he loves the next day and he felt an incredible explosion of happiness within his chest. He was happy but also a bit nervous. He had faith in the wedding's planning and yet he felt nervous.

"Goten? Hey, what are you doing out here all by yourself? You'll catch a cold if you stay out here the entire night" ChiChi said as she came walking out of the house. Goten glanced back at his mother and gave her a small smile.

"Oh, I was just clearing my thoughts a bit"

"Mind if I join you?" ChiChi asked and Goten shook his head. She went to sit next to him and joined his view of the stars. "I can't believe my little boy is marrying tomorrow. Time sure does fly fast. Before I knew it you were grown up"

"That makes both of us, Mom. I guess I never saw this day actually coming and now I'm marrying Sara tomorrow. Who would've thought?" Goten said before he felt ChiChi's hand on his and she gave him a reassuring smile.

"As long as my little boy is happy, then I'm happy too. I just want you to know that you've made your Father and I proud. I know that you'll be a great husband and Father. Just know that you can always come back to us and if things go too fast, take it slow. Nothing is rushing you" ChiChi said.

Goten squeezed her hand slightly and gave her a warm smile. "Thanks, Mom. I promise that I'll take things slow when things go too fast and I'll be sure to bring your grandchildren over as much as I can" Goten said and ChiChi laughed.

"You better!"

The wedding day...

Laura stood in a large white room while wearing her wedding dress. It had puffed sleeved and it was a long dress that brushed the ground. It was beautiful and it even astounded Sara. It was even better than she imagined.

Sara's mother gave her one last kiss and smiled at her. "You look beautiful, sweetie." She complimented and Sara thanked her mother. "I'll wait in the church with everyone else. I'll see you there" She said and Sara nodded as her father stepped inside.

"Look at my little girl. You look breathtaking" He said and Sara blushed slightly. He held out his arm and Sara slowly took it. "It's finally the big day. Are you ready?" He asked and Sara gave herself once last glance before she nodded.

"As ready as I'll ever be!"

Laura, who was the maid of honor, wore a light pink dress and stood on the opposite side of Trunks who was Goten's best man. The Son's, Brief's, Sara's and Laura's parents all sat and waited for the bride to come in. A few of Trunks and Goten's friends were also there.

Laura's father walked her down the isle and with one last glance towards Goten, handed his daughter towards the male. Goten took Sara and smiled at her. She was beautiful and he felt a warm feeling fill his chest. He was happy that he was going to spend his life with her.

"You may exchange the vows"

"I'll start" Goten said and took Sara's hands in his. "Sara, I vow to be by your side in the good and the bad times. I vow to be your knight in shining armor when you need be and that I will be there for you no matter what the circumstances. I vow to be your husband to the fullest" Goten said.

Sara smiled and swallowed away her tears. "Goten, I vow to stand by you in happy and in sad times. I vow to be the best wife and mother that I can possibly be. I can't always promise to be the best housewife, but as long as time itself, I'll be there for you and forever love you" Sara said.

"Now, you may exchange the rings" The priest said and little Pan walked towards them. She held a small cushion with the rings that Goten and Sara took. They took the rings and put them on for each other.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" The priest said and Goten pulled Sara closer into a kiss. ChiChi and Sara's mother cried together while everyone else clapped hands at the newlywed couple as they walked down the isle together.

The reception dinner at the Brief's was once to remember. There were hours filled with eating, dancing, laughing and conversing between the families. Friends came together and new friends were made between the families.

When everything was finally over, Goten and Sara greeted everyone. After many hugs and kisses, Laura and Trunks also said their goodbyes. Goten and Sara then towards their home, officially married and still in love.

Trunks let out a soft sigh and glanced at Laura with a content smile. "You want to go home with me, Laura?" Trunks asked as they walked back towards the door of his parent's home. Laura smiled at him and tapped on her chin.

"Hmmm, let me thing about that..." Laura trailed off and teased the male. Laura chuckled when Trunks rolled his eyes. "Yes, let's go" Laura said and Trunks smiled. They shared a passionate kiss and then left together.
