Epilogue

It had been nearly eight months since Gohan's return. Since then the couple had moved back to the royal city. When deciding on a place to live, Gohan and Videl had not readily agreed on anything. Gohan wanted to move to a larger house then the one they had moved out of. Gohan claimed he was 'planning' for his family's future. Videl argued that she was not going to live in a house of that magnitude for she refused to clean such a structure. Videl wanted to settle in a house about the size of Kakkarott and Chichi's. Videl found that her dream house was not to far from her father and mother in law's house. After much debating, Videl finally won the dispute. The younger Sons' would live practically next to the older Sons'. After Gohan and Videl had moved in it didn't take long for them both to settle in, a little longer perhaps for Gohan. He finally got used to living close to his parents again. Eight months later Gohan and Videl also welcomed a new addition to their home.

Videl was sitting in Kakkarott and Chichi's living room, chatting with the three saiyans. Her and Gohan had gone over to Kakkarott and Chichi's that night for a family dinner. After a large dinner, the four had moved to the living room to continue their conversation. Gohan was holding Videl close to him, gently rubbing his mate's rounded tummy when all of a sudden Videl felt a sharp pain erupt from her abdomen. Videl shot straight up and doubled over from the pain. Gohan put his arm around Videl. "What's wrong?"

"Gohan, it's time." Videl said, clutching at her stomach.

Gohan jumped into action, as did Kakkarott and Chichi. "Gohan, go get me lots of towels, Kakkarott, help him." Chichi demanded as she went to Videl's side and instructing her on what to do.

Videl lay back on the couch. Gohan and Kakkarott returned with what seemed like fifty towels. "Is this enough?" Kakkarott asked.

Chichi looked up. "That's fine, set them over here."

The two saiyans set the towels down by Chichi as had been instructed. "Videl, I want you to take deep breaths, alright?" Chichi instructed.

Videl nodded. Gohan sat by Videl and held her hand. "It will be alright, just do what mom says and everything will be just fine." Gohan said, stroking Videl's already beaded forehead.

"Ok Videl, on the count of three take a deep breath and push." Chichi said.

Videl nodded once more. "1…2…3."

Videl clenched her teeth and pushed with all her might. Chichi smiled. "I see the head, alright push again."

Videl sighed and pushed again, her energy decreasing at a rapid rate. "Alright Videl, good job, one more time, this time give it all you got." Chichi said.

Gohan looked down at Videl. "Just one more time Videl, then it will be all over."

Videl gathered the last bit of strength she had and pushed. The room filled with high-pitched cries as Chichi wrapped the baby in a towel and then presented her grandchild to Gohan and Videl. Videl took the child in her arms. "Oh Gohan, isn't she beautiful?" Videl asked.

Gohan fought back his tears of joy. "Yes, she is."

Gohan then tickled his daughter's chin with his finger. "Hey there."

His daughter smiled up at him, giggling. "Look Pan, it's your daddy." Videl said.

Chichi looked down at her granddaughter. "Is that her name?" Chichi asked.

"Yes, do you like it?" Videl asked.

"I love it." Chichi said.

"Pan it is." Gohan said.

"Can I hold her?" Kakkarott asked, looking in awe at the tiny creature before him.

"Sure." Gohan said, handing his daughter to her grandfather.

Kakkarott smiled. "She's so tiny."

The rest of the night the four older saiyans conversed and played with their newest Son.

The news spread quickly like wildfire throughout the kingdom of the birth of the legendary super saiyan's daughter. Later that week a ceremony was held. The ceremony was held at the palace. It seemed like every saiyan was there to see Gohan and Videl's daughter. King Vegeta was there to mark Pan as a member of the Saiyan Empire by performing a simple, but equally important ritual that had been done since the beginning of the saiyan race. The king of the saiyans preformed the ritual. The king would inflict a wound upon his right hand. The blood that emerged from the wound would be collected in a bowl made of solid gold. The king would then take the child's tail and dip it in the bowl. Finally the king would take the tail and draw the sign of the saiyan race upon the child's forehead, thus completing the ritual. This had been the first time Vegeta had ever done something like this. After making a cut with a dagger in his right palm, Vegeta made a fist, making his royal saiyan blood drip slowly into the gold bowl. Vegeta then took the tail of a cooing Pan and dipped it into his own blood. After coating the tip of Pan's tail with royal blood, Vegeta made the sign of the child's race. Upon her forehead, Vegeta drew a circle. Two diagonal lines were then drawn through the circle. The finishing touch was two dots on either side of the circle. After the symbol was completed, Vegeta muttered a few words in the native tongue, the ritual was complete, Pan was now a member of the mighty saiyan race. Pan was washed clean of the blood and placed in a white clothed robe, now was time to celebrate. Vegeta took Pan from Videl and raised her above his head. "Everyone, I present to you, Pan Son, daughter of Lieutenant Gohan and Videl Son, granddaughter of General Kakkarott and Chichi Son, and great granddaughter of the late Colonel Bardock. Everyone, now we celebrate and rejoice the newest member of the our proud race." Vegeta said.

Everyone present cheered. That night all the saiyans ate and drank into the early morning hours, most going home with full stomachs and clouded minds. That evening Gohan, Videl and Pan returned home early for Pan had become tired and cranky. Gohan and Videl went to sleep that night knowing that their new life had just begun.

The End




A/N: Hey everybody, did you like the story? i hope you did. That was the last chapter. I am now finished with this after nearly 3 months of working on it, that's the longest i've ever worked on any fanfic. Anywho I wanted to know what you thought of it and to decide what i should do for the next fic. Should I write a knew story, or I continue with a sequeal to this story. Here's what the 2 stories would be about. the first one i mentioned is about gohan and videl, taking place during the buu saga, you find out what might have happened if gohan refused to become Mystic Gohan and go back to earth, and fusing with goku, while at the same time learning of both videl's feelings for him and his feeling's for videl. the sequeal to this story, which i thank the idea for from dbchick, would be mostly about Pan's life and her struggle in loving Trunks. so voice your opionion, YOU HAVE THE POWER!
