Walking through the small crowd, Chichi suddenly felt eyes on her. "Why do I feel like someone's watching me?" she thought, stopping to look around.
Currently, she was holding Bulla while her mom went to the restroom. Bulma had decided to throw a little party after their win at the universal tournament. Of course not getting erased was definitely cause for celebration. Being Bulma, she invited everyone. Even that creepy looking Galactic King with all the tentacles.
"Hey Chichi! How's everything?" A voice called from behind her. Turning, she saw Krillin walk up with his family.
"Hey Krillin. How have you been?" Adjusting Bulla in her arms.
"Oh wow! Look who's here!" Krillin said with a surprised face. "Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get a good look at the little princess here." He laughed while 18 snorted.
"What's wrong?" She said, noticing 18's annoyed look. But, Krillin quickly waived his hand to dismiss it.
"Ah it's nothing serious..." 18's narrowed eyes shut him down.
"That fool was actually standing guard like we were going to take her away or something. So stupid!" Her deadpan voice was paired with an exasperated roll of her eyes.
"Standing guard? You mean Vegeta? Oh please just ignore him." Giving her own snort as she adjust Bulla again. Putting her in a more comfortable position.
"You're daddy is crazy!" Smiling down at her giggling face.
Chichi gave a mirthless laugh as she turned her attention back to Krillin. "Yeah, he tried that with me too. But, I quickly reminded him that he never even held Trunks when he was baby. He must've been insane if he thought that crap would fly with me. I have two children and a grandchild."
"You're really not afraid of anything are you?" He laughed again, scratching his bald head.
"He's nothing but a big softy. I wouldn't pay him any attention. Personally, Goku was a much better father!" Chichi said with a proud nod.
"Really? I always wondered about that. He's just so carefree." With a skeptical look Krillin lifted a dark eyebrow.
"Trust me, I was concerned in the beginning. But I think that's what made him so good. He loved holding Gohan. He played with him, took him camping, and hunting. You've been out with them together. I never had to ask Goku to spend time with Gohan. That was all him." Chichi smiled confidently.
"That's true. He's like a big kid himself!" Nodding to himself.
"Yep. Now all he has to do is put that energy into being a better husband." She said with a deep sigh. "I'm not gonna touch that!" Krillin laughed as his wife rolled her eyes again.
...
Across the room, Goku stood off to the side with a plate in one hand and two meat skewers in the other. He had been enjoying his food when something caught his attention. It was a sight he'd seen many times before. But, this time, it caused a very different emotion to surge inside him.
"Why are you staring at your woman like that?" A gruff voice said next to him. Goku was so engrossed in watching his wife that he didn't notice Vegeta's Ki at his side.
Goku shrugged as he shoved the other two skewers in his mouth. " Mmm hmmn humm mmmmn..." He started, but was quickly cut off.
"Chew your food first! Numbskull!" Vegeta said, rolling his eyes.
Chuckling, he quickly chewed and swallowed. "Haha..sorry about that." Rubbing an arm over his mouth.
"Answer my question! Why are you staring?"Vegeta narrowing his eyes at him. Still upset that Kakarot's woman took his daughter without permission.
"I was just thinking how nice she looks holding a baby. It kind of reminded me when Gohan was little." Goku said with his signature laugh. A light blush forming on his cheeks.
His revelation brought a slight look of disgust to Vegeta's face. "Why in the world would you be thinking of that?"
"I don't know. It just...kind of came to me. Chichi was lying on top of me the other morning and I..." Vegeta shivered at the unwanted visual he got of his rival. "..was thinking about staying home for a bit. Especially since you wouldn't be training with me now that Bulla's here. Then I started wondering about us having another baby..."
Goku stopped when Vegeta held his hand up. "Wait, so you want another one?" Interrupting his ramble.
"I guess so. Maybe it's because I wasn't here when Goten was a baby. I didn't get to do all those things I did with Gohan so it feels like I missed out. It's weird. I know we have Pan, but it's not same." he said, shrugging his shoulders again.
Vegeta silently stared through narrowed eyes at his sparring partner. His own plate of food forgotten. For him, this whole conversation was weird...and a little creepy. It was completely out of character for Kakarot to talk about anything other than fighting. As far as he knew, his family always seemed like an after thought to him. It was no wonder Kakarot's woman was so crazy.
Maybe his daughters birth sparked some innate Saiyan need to procreate. He was a full-blooded rival so it probably affected him differently than when his grandchild was born. Technically, they were just reaching their prime. Unlike humans their need to copulate only increased during this time. Vegeta wasn't exactly thrilled about thinking of him in that manner. But, their species was low in number. It wouldn't be so bad to have another Saiyan around. Even if they did come from this low bred idiot.
"Then do it." Vegeta's said pointedly.
His statement causing Goku to pause the skewer heading to his mouth. "Do what?"
"Oh for the love of...You want another brat, right?" Vegeta said, his voice dripping with irritation.
Goku stopped and thought for a minute."Yeah, I think so."
"OK then just do it. Go tell that loud woman of yours you want another kid and get to it." Vegeta seethed in a low tone. Upset that he's actually encouraging this fool to do anything.
"Oh..Oooh!" Goku's expression brightening as he caught on. "Maybe we could start tonight and..."
"I do NOT want to hear about your sex life." Vegeta said abruptly, walking away towards the balcony.
"I don't see what the big deal is." Goku mumbled around his food. Despite Vegeta's attitude, his words gave him the courage to act on his desire. Now, he had to see if his wife would be on the same page.
...
It was pretty late when they arrived home. Chichi had allowed Goten to spend the night with Trunks. To be honest, they could use the alone time. Chichi noticed how quiet Goku had been during the party. He was normally way more social than that. At one point she saw him put his plate down to play with Pan. Not that he didn't play with her...he just never abandoned his food like that.
Chichi decided to let Goku bathe first. Giving her a chance to mull over the situation while putting the extra food they got away. When she arrived in their room he was already dozing under the covers. After taking her own quick shower, she settled in bed with him. Snuggling under his arm with her head on his chest.
"Goku honey?" Whispering as she slowly caressed the smooth muscles of his stomach. "Yeah Chi?" Turning his nose into her hair.
"Is everything alright? You seemed a little off at the party today. Are you having that issue with your ki again?" She said looking him over.
He chuckled softly in her hair. "No, I'm fine. That fight did take a lot out of me, but my body's OK. I'm still gonna rest on Earth for a while. Maybe take a little break."
"That's good. I always feel better when you're home." Cuddling closer and putting one of her legs over his. Chichi didn't know what a while meant when it came to Goku. That could be days or weeks before his urge to train took over. He wanted to be home so she would enjoy it while she could.
Goku groaned as she nestled in closer. " Actually, I was thinking about something."
"What?" she whispered into his chest.
"I saw you holding Bulla and playing with Pan today." his hand caressing her upper arm.
"That's nothing new. You were playing with Pan today too." She said, pulling the covers further up on them.
"True. I guess it got me thinking of when Gohan was little. He was so cute, you know? It sucks that I was dead when Goten was born. I feel like I missed out on so much with him. Haha...I still find it funny that you were the one to train him first." He said with a light chuckle.
Chichi stopped her caresses at his statement. This was the first time he'd ever mentioned not being there for Gotens birth. Goku was always so nonchalant about everything so it never occurred to her that it actually bothered him. Suddenly she felt his hand under her chin, tilting her face to look up at him. The intense look in his midnight eyes leaving her breathless.
Goku stared into wife's own dark eyes. " I was thinking..."
"Yeah..." she whispered, lost in his fathomless gaze.
Touching his forehead to hers. "Let's have another baby."
