Forgotten Gift.
He had forgotten all about it! He remembered now though. He had rushed out and bought it the time that he didn't understand why Soyna was mad at him and had it wrapped in the most expensive wrapping paper the store had. He didn't remember shuffling it away but it must have got forgotten in all the fuss that was about.
Goten grinned as he held the package.
He could hear one of the kids, most likely Benot running upstairs. Soyna was ringing that ever increasing annoying bell. Raymond had told her that it was bed rest. Not even walks. She was driving everyone crazy with that little bell of hers! But then, she was not one to lay still and he really thought that his wife was getting fat. Of course, he would never say that to her. She would most likely jump out of bed and insist on training again, despite the fact that they don't know what the consequences would be for loosing the child. What would Shelong do?
He shook his head and held the package.
This would cheer her up.
She was turning into a grump again.
The bell was ringing again.
"IN A MINUTE MOM!" he saw Benot run down the stairs grumbling to himself.
They were getting along much better now. Benot never called him a wimp or a jerk anymore. It was actually Goten now. He was still curse and sometimes disobedient, but nothing like before. He would listen to him. There was still some work there but he knew that it was going to be better.
Everything seemed so much better.
Without the dragonballs being trapped in Goku anymore, Goku seemed more spry and was able to transform again, much to the delight of Vegeta, who gained an almost unwilling sparring partner, which kept him from bugging Soyna who would look longingly at the flashes of light coming from the gravity room.
Trunks and Pan finally had their honeymoon. It wasn't what Trunks had planned but it turned out better than they thought. They went and spent a year in the time chamber. After everything that happened, they needed the time and they were defiantly much happier when they came out and Pan was much fatter as well. Their child was due the same time as Soyna now. The 'incident' was never mentioned again.
Especially by Gohan who still felt extremely guilty for acting so rashly. He no longer even joked about Trunks being to old for his daughter, or cradling robbing and never even dared to pat Trunks on the back. He felt so bad for over reacting like that.
Junior even was training now, happy over the sudden shift to super Saiyian and wanted to maintain it. He was still not really up to caliber with anyone else yet, but he was eager to learn and was a quick learner. He was pretty sure that Vegeta was even proud that he was training. Or rather "It is better that my name sake be a fighter than an office wimp." He guessed that meant that he was proud. Vegeta was so hard to understand at times. Junior no longer hid his relationship with Marron. Soyna was not really upset over it but she did not approve of it for a bit. He thought it was more the fact that she did not know about it than the fact that she was part of the android that she still had problems with. But she now approved. It was funny listening to Marron talk about marriage and what kind of dress she was going to wear. You could just see Junior sweat!!
Ligh was no longer a threat, even though he still lived. He was in jail on an unrelated charge but he wouldn't be getting out for a long long time. His strength and speed were stripped from him and he was no stronger than a normal human and would never be any stronger than one.
Everything was much calmer, expect for...
"Where is my water! I AM thirsty here!"
His wife bellowed from upstairs and he saw Benot dash back up the stairs, spilling water from the glass as he went.
He decided that he better save Benot before she gets too testy.
He walked up the stairs and cautiously looked in the room. He had to be careful, she did have a tendency for throwing things and blaming him for her current condition. He didn't dare mention that it was partly her fault as well. He got a good jab in the ribs for that! He thought that he still had the bruise there.
"Thank you," she said as she took a glass of water from her son, who looked at her with a confused look on his face. He was having a hard time understand his mothers mood swings.
He understood that as well. With the last kids, she was able to move and take out all those strange moods swings out in the training sessions. Here, she was trapped in bed, so they were getting the full brunt of the attack of the mood swings..
There defiantly were not going to be any more kids!
"Hi?" he said and entered the room. He put the fancily wrapped box, behind his back as he walked in. She was getting large! She still was not as large as she had been with the twins, but this time, she had a level of pudginess in her face that he thought was adorable, even though he would not dare tell her that. There was no way in the world that she could look ugly to him, but he didn't want her to start thinking that.
"Hi" she said with a big smile.
Benot just shook his head and walked past him. "Your turn!" He looked exhausted. Probably was. The kid worked so hard taking care of his mom. Sometimes too hard.
"I found something," he said and walked closer to her.
"What?" she said and that angle to her eyes increased. Boy, she didn't like surprises.
"I bought you a present a long time ago," he said. "When you first told me you were pregnant, well, I didn't know that you were pregnant yet, you were just mad at me. It must have gotten shuffled away in the chaos that was our lives, but I found it." He brought out the box and showed it to her. Her eyes lived up and she held out her hands. She opened it carefully with a smile on her face. Too carefully! Damn it. He hated people who opened presents slowly.
She finally got it open.
"OH!" she said and was still smiling.
"Legen said you would like it," he said.
"It's rather expensive!" she said but still daubed some on her wrists. The smell of the perfume quickly filled the room and boy, he didn't remember it smelling that good in the store!
"I thought it would cheer you up," he said and sat on the bed next to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Sometimes, she wouldn't even allow him to that. But at least her mood was much better. You can never argue with a woman who is eight months pregnant.
"You can be thoughtful," she said.
He just smiled and started to clean up the wrapping box.
She began to reach over to the end table to place the bottle of rather expensive perfume on the night table and gave a startled "Oh!" and nearly dropped the bottle on the floor. He caught it time, he gave her an annoyed look but that quickly changed to worry.
From the look on her face, they had other worries now.
..................................
Vegeta stood tapping his foot as they waited for news on Soyna and the month early surprise delivery that was occurring. They were all worried.
What would the child look like? Would there be anything wrong with the child?
Vegeta, Bulma, Goku and ChiChi were the only ones at the hospital. Well, besides Raymond and Bra, but Raymond was her doctor.
They didn't want anyone to know, until they knew what was going on.
Bulma grabbed his arm and pulled him down into a chair and told him not to worry, but her voice was distant and his thoughts were on his granddaughter and worried thoughts about what the child was going to be like.
Goku smiled nervously and his was the last voice that he wanted to hear! "She will be fine and so will the baby. Shelong has always been good to us," he said but quickly slumped his shoulders. He did not believe the words that he was saying. He was worried also that the boy was going to be just a carrier of Shelong, like he was and Soyna was for a short period of time. He prayed that the child would not be born with that snake tattooed across his little body.
Bra sat next to him. "Don't you worry dad. She is to strong to worry about." She spoke with such confidence. Yes, he was worried about Soyna, but not as much as he was worried that the dragon had lied to her.
Six hours later, his confidence was shattered and so was everyone else's. It was brought up briefly as Goten appeared but the look on his face caused all hope to smash against the floor.
It wasn't for another hour and then Raymond appeared. They all stood with anticipation and he wanted to pounce on the man for news. He smiled brightly. "Everything is great. Congratulations Goten, you are a father to a new baby boy!"
"And Soyna?" Vegeta asked curtly.
"Resting. She won't be able to spar for awhile, but she will be back to normal in a month," Raymond said just as curtly and then in a nicer tone, "You can go see them now."
Vegeta wanted to rush in there, but Goten had greater urgency than he did.
............
Goten rushed into the room to see his wife, actually looking very well. She was holding a small bundle in her arms.
"Finally," she said with a smile.
"Is he normal?"
He glared at Vegeta and his lack of tack.
Soyna did not seem to mind.
"Yes," she said.
Goten looked down at the child and was shocked at what he saw. The child hair was green! Green! Was the dragon's influence? "My grandfather on my mothers side had green hair Goten. Don't look so shocked." She said and held the boy up to him. "He doesn't have a tail."
That was a shock. Flint and Flare had tails. He wondered why he didn't.
The child opened his eyes. They were the same as his mothers, the most brilliant green and beautiful green in the world. His new boy. He was so disappointed when Bulma pulled the boy out of his hands and started to coo at him. "Have you got a name for the boy?" Chi Chi asked. They knew she was ready with HER suggestion. Thank god he was never named Einstein!
Soyna nodded and looked as if she were dozing, "Cyrus."
