She and Vegan needed to talk immediately!
The doctor told her something about the baby, and she wasn't sure that Goku would understand...
Would Vegan understand?
Oh God... maybe she should have Dr. Briefs explain it, but then he'd tell Bloomer...
A landmine that would eventually have to be activated, but she wanted to avoid it as long as she could.
She was glad that Vegan offered to go shopping with her; they could talk about everything.
When they finished shopping, they decided to get lunch at a cafe.
'I'm glad you came along; we never get to do anything anymore.'
'Kakarotto is a bit of a worrywart.' She said quietly.
'So, are the two of you an item?'
'No, we've been too worried about the little one to even-'
'I need to tell you something,' Eighteen said quietly and quickly, 'something about the baby.'
'No, I want to wait until the gender-'
'No, it not that. It's...'
'It's what?'
'You're a scientific wonder...'
'How?
'Your pregnancy... not only do you have an ectopic pregnancy, but you're having twins...'
'Twins?!' Vegan's eyes widened as she turned to her. 'I'm having two babies.'
'Yes...'
She could feel Vegan's mood change from nervous to ecstatic; her joy was infectious; eighteen found herself smiling and laughing with her.
It was the first genuine smile Vegan's had in a year...
'Identical twins!'
'No, not Identical.'
'Fraternal? Oh. Oh, well... oh, what if they are different genders? Oh, Kakarotto can get his boy, and I'll finally have my Olive...'
'Yes, but...'
'But?'
'Vegan your babies...'
'My babies are?'
'Superfecundation twins.'
'Superfecundation twins?' Vegan repeated. 'What does that mean?'
'It means... that your babies, despite being twins, have different fathers...' Eighteen said breathlessly.
'So, one belongs to Kakarotto... and the other one is-'
'Bloomer's.'
