*** 2 Months Later ***

Goten and I had gone out lots of times in the last couple of months and we spoke on the phone almost daily. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was really falling for him. Tonight we'd agreed to babysit T.J. while Trunks took Pan, who was now 6 months pregnant, out on the town. To my surprise it'd actually been Goten who suggested that we do it and Trunks had been only too happy to agree.

I arrived at Trunks and Pan's house at about 10 mins till 6pm but Goten had still beaten me there. The 4 of us sat on the couch talking for a few mintues before they left.

"So... Uncle Goten, when are you and Kyoko gonna get married?" Pan asked in an innocent voice but she had a wicked gleem in her eyes.

We'd both just taken sips of our tea and her question caused us both to spit it across the room.

"Ummmm..." Goten stuttered and look half shocked, half terrified. In a moment of genius, Goten looked at his watch and then hastily looked to Trunks. "Isn't it time for you too to be going?"

The lavender haired saiyan laughed easily. "You're lucky because it is about time we get going." Trunks helped Pan to her feet and we walked them to the door.

"Kyoko, all the phone numbers are on the fridge so call if you need anything."

"Have fun girl!" I waved and we watched as they pulled away before Goten pulled me inside and closed the door.

Before I could say no, Goten scooped me into his arms like a child and gave me a devilsih grin. "T.J.'s asleep and we're all alone. What are we going to do?" He winked and I laughed playfully.

"Well..." I wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzled him gently. My body was on fire. I'd wanted Goten for so long but he'd never had the chance to do more than kiss me but something always came up. Now I was ready and trembling with anticipation. "I can think of something."

Goten laughed and carried me over to the couch before he laid me down and then laid down right besides me. He softly kissed me cheeks, eyes, forehead, and ears before finally conquering my mouth. My hands found their way to his shirt buttons and I quickly began to undo them while kissing him just as fiercly as he kissed me.

The moment I had the shirt unbuttoned, I heard the most annoying sound possible for this given sitsuation.

* Bang, Bang, Bang *

The osund wasn't just a knock on the door because I would have ignored that. This souned like someone was trying to breakdown the door.

"GO AWAY!" Goten yelled at the door before seizing my lips again.

* BANG, BANG, BANG *

This time the pounding was even louder and I was afraid that whoever was knocking would wake up T.J.

"We have to answer it." I pouted and he scowled.

"I know." He jumped up and buttoned his shirt before helping me to my feet. Just as we made our way to the door, the banging started again before I heard T.J. crying out loudly.

"I'll get T.J., you get the door." I kissed his lips quickly and then headed up the stairs two at a time.

The moment I got in his room, T.J. stopped crying. For 12 months old, he was learning incredibly quickly. He stood up in his bed and looked at me a little confused.

"Kyo, up." He held his arms out to me and I pulled him out of his crib. He still couldn't quite say Kyoko do I was now know as Kyo to him. To my dismay, T.J. seemed wide awake. I guessed it would be a while before Goten and I got to continue where we started.

T.J. had just recently learned how to walk so I set him on the ground and held his hands as we made our way down the stairs. Everyone once in a while I'd pick him up by his arms and swing him in the air, causing him to squel in delight. we played like that the whole way to the door while T.J. yelled out "Kyo, more! Kyo, again!"

We were both still giggling when we got to the door but the moment I laid eyes on the uninvited guest standing in the doorway, all of my happiness washed away and I quickly scooped T.J. into my arms protectivly.

"Cammy?!" My voice was almost a shirek and like he understood the sitsuation, T.J. burst into tears.

"Give me back my son." Cammy's blonde hair had been cut short in prison but her eyes were unmistakable.

"Cammy, leave. You're not welcome here." Goten's voice was cold and menacing.

"W-why aren't you in jail?" I had begun to shake slightly and held T.J. even tighter. As if sensing the danger, he too wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Well, Kyoko..." She practically spat my name out like it was a curse. Her self-satisified smile made me want to smack her but I knew it'd do no good. "I was actually released on a legal technicality from the trial. In other words, I am a free woman." She smiled happily.

"This is a private residence Cammy, get out!" Goten's dark exterior and dead pan expression left no question about how he felt about Cammy. I knew deep down that if Gohan had not forbid it, she'd already be dead where she stood.

When she didn't leave and just stood staring at me and T.J. with distest, Goten seemed to grow protective. I could feel the power begin to radiate from him. His hair began to stand up and lightening was crackling around him. "Leave now or I will not be responsible for my actions!"

Cammy seemed to believe Goten because she paled slightly and looked at him in horror. "Freaks! You're all freaks! I will get my son back if it's the last thing I do." She screamed wildly and I began to wonder if those months in prison had cause her to fall into complete insanity.

"You may try but let me assure you, if you lay on hand on that child or ANYONE else for that matter, it WILL be the last thing you do." His voice was barely above a whisper but we all heard him clearly.

"I'll be back." Cammy fought to regain her composure but finally turned her back and left the grounds.

Once she was gone, I loosened my grip on T.J. and he immediatly stopped crying. That's when my emotions got the better of me and big tears began to roll down my cheeks. I fought it but within moments, loud sobs escaped my chest. How could this be happening?! The woman who had almost killed Pan and tried to destroy the whole family was back and it just wasn't fair. Although I wasn't as strong as Goten and Trunks' families, I knew I'd fight to protect them all as much as I could. I just didn't want to have to do it again.

"Kyo no cry." T.J. looked up at me with big blue orbs and smiled. I knew the child had no clue about the dynamics of the sitsuation but his words still helped me feel better and calm my sobs.

Goten walked up to us and wrapped us both into an embrace until my tears stopped. He wiped thetears gently from my cheeks and sighed. "I am sorry Kyoko. It will all be okay. Lets just call Trunks and Pan and get them back here. They need to know what's going on."

With those words he kissed my lips and then headed towards the phone. I turned back to T.J. and forced myself to cheer up. There was no point in upsetting the child too so instead fo stressing I decided to play little games to keep my mind occupied, It ultimatley only took about ten minutes for Trunks and Pan to get home.

The moment the door was thrown open, Trunks can rushing in first and looked concerned. "Okay, whats the emergency?"

Pan can in behind him looking out of breath and tired. The moment she saw me and T.J. playing on the floor she looked relieved but then turned to me in concern. "What happened?"
