Epilogue


The light streaming in the window was just enough to wake Goten. Yawning rather loudly he stretched his body out and briefly wondered at its soreness. The blue sheets were a tangle around his body and when he tried to grab a handful he caught a color that didnt belong with the blue. Lavender. Turning his head slowly he took in the sight of Trunks` hair splayed out over the pillows. A peacefull expression was on his face. Suddenly the past nights experience came back in a rush. Raising a shaking hand he touched a tender spot on his neck. He felt the dried blood and pure joy engulfed him. Gently pulling the tangled sheets off himself, Goten slipped carefully out of the side of the bed.

A bit unbalanced he swayed to the side then fell over. Searing hot pain ran throught his body and he sceamed in pure agony. Jolting out of a dead sleep Trunks sat straight up in bed and howled along with Goten. Their pain was unimaginable and finally as it subsided and they began to breathe normally, Trunks discovered its source.

Tails. Yes tails. Appartently they had grown back after last night and wrapped around each other while the saiyans slept. When Goten fell, he had pulled both their tails pretty hard. Being wide awake Trunks decided he had better get up. Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, Trunks looked down at Gotens bleary eyes. ~ Aww, he looks so cute and vulnerable.~ He thought as he tried to stand up but fell instead, landing beside Goten on the floor.

With a hearty laught Trunks threw an arm around Gotens chest and pulled him down to lay on the floor. Smiling into Gotens hair, Trunks kissed him on the top of the head. Sighing Goten looked up at Trunks with a sad smile.

` Man that really hurt. ` Goten said. Trunks just nodded. Slowly they tried again to get up but ended up tripping over each other comically and fell back on the bed. A few feathers flew up and drifted back down. One fell onto Trunks` nose. Scrunching his nose Trunks sneezed and Goten laughed so hard he thought he would burst.

A few minutes later when they were able to stand, Trunks made a motion towards his bathroom. Bathing each other, they found was very relaxing and they spent the next 45 minutes being lazy under the steaming stream. Still dripping wwhen they got out, Goten began to dry himself off. Trunks of coarse had a slightly different idea as his towel wrapped around Gotens butt and he pulled him against his slight erection.

Body relaxed Goten just stood next to his mate, fully comfortable in the closeness. Trunks definately purred when Goten leaned down to kiss him. Becoming harder Trunks broke for air and looked wolfishly at Goten out of the corner of his eye. Now Trunks being a little shorter than Goten was about eye level with his lovers lips. Lowering his gaze the his soft throat, Trunks pulled Goten as close as he could and kissed his neck. Slowly the kiss opened to become mostly licking then sucking none too gently on Gotens adams apple. Goten groaned then his stomach growled very loudly.

Trunks pulled away and burst out laughing. He couldnt really blame him, he was hungry too. It was just so typical that Gotens stomach would demand food before they did anything else. Smiling sheepishly Goten turned away and started to leave the bathroom. Grabbing him from behind Trunks walked against him and pushed him over to his dresser.

Pulling out a pair of boxers for each of them, Trunks then began going threw his stuff to try and find something that would fit his Chibi. ~Yes~ Trunks thought to himself. ~My Chibi.~ Growling at the innsufficient clothing, Trunks started to get angry. Goten just sighed and chuckled under his breath. He reached in and grabbed whatever. Pulling it out, he found it to be a pair of long shorts. Shrugging he pulled them on. The two saiyans were almost the same waiste size so it wasnt that bad of a fit. Really the only place they were terribly different was their height. Reaching in again as he watched Trunks watching him, Goten pulled out one of Trunks` many ripped muscle tee - shirts. But before he slipped it over his head, Trunks grabbed it and put it back. Instead he grabbed a spandex training top from the bottom drawer and handed it to him. Goten pulled it on then impatienty waited while Trunks pulled on a pair of wind pants and a top like his. It hid the bite marks perfectly.

They headed down the stairs a little slowly even though they were starving. They could smell the food and knew Vegeta would already be there. They knew they wouldnt be able to hide anything from him. At the bottom of the stairs, Trunks turned to Goten and pulled his in for a soft kiss. It was ment to reassure him that no matter what happened, Trunks would protect him. He had made a silent vow before he fell asleep. Goten sensing this and knowing through the bond that Trunks would not abandon him, smiled then walked into the Briefs kitched ahead of Trunks.

Bulma turned away from the sink to see them enter and beamed a huge smile.

` Good Morning boys, sleep well? ` At this Goten laughed a little and Trunks replied that they had. Bra looked hard from her brother back to her best friends uncle. Sighing she returned to her plate.

Vegeta on the other hand knew something was up. He could almost sense it in the air. Something had changed between his brat and Kakkorots brat, but he couldnt tell what. Keeping his scowl in place he continued to eat watching them carefully.

When breakfast was cleared away and everyone was getting up, Trunks stood quickly and cleared his throat. His family looked at him curiously. Goten stood silently and looked at Vegeta then at Trunks. Trunks` gaze locked with his fathers as he took a step away from Goten to reveal their newly grown tails that wrapped around each other quickly.

No one saw the knowing look that passed in Bras eyes or the stunned but pleased smile that graced Bulmas features. The men in the room were silent as they waited for the other to say something. Finally Vegeta took a step towards them. Neither backed down, which surprised Vegeta but also made him realize how seriously attached they had become. The tails were evidence they had shared something important. Seeing the looks in their eyes, he knew before he siad it.

` Bonded? ` It wasnt really a question. Both men nodded in the older saiyans direction. Vegeta bowed his head. Goten Trunks and Bra braced themselves as they felt his power grow. Beginning to shake, Vegeta looked up past the ceiling and muttered

` The royal blood mixed with that of a third class. MY son and the son of KAKKOROT. ` Expelling a harsh breath of air, he turned on his way out to his gravity machine. Turning back he called over his shoulder addressing Goten then Trunks.

` I expect at least one spar a week, and YOU better put that genious mind of yours to work boy and figure out a way to continue the saiyan race. `

Once the door was closed behind him and he was alone in his gravity room, Vegeta began to chuckle which turned into an insane laugh as he turned the machine up to 2800g. He had known this would happen.

~ When Kakkorot told me about the fusion I was sketpical. I knew it would have some sort effect on them in the long run. I was right again. Once they were fused they must have made an incomplete mental bond. As children their life-mates were decided based on the fate of their planet. I knew it would happen eventually but I didnt know it would take them this long. Dende the boy is 30 and Kakkorot`s is 29. They certainly waited long enough.~ At this point Vegeta stopped his internal tirade and concentrated on the high gravity drones surrounding him.

~ Kakkorot is probably laughing his fool head off at me~ He thought with a smirk then launched off towards the bots.

Telling Gohan and his wife and daughter was easier than they expected. Panny seemed to have known it would happen all along. Videl and Gohan were a little shocked but got over it. They didnt exactly congradulate them but only told them they had a very long road ahead of them. To this news they nodded and smiled.





******20 years later*********

` Goha! Vegeta! Get down here and open your presents before I do it for you! ` Goten yelled up the stairs then turned and made his way to the couch and sat beside his koi. Two blurs rushed past and dove at the tree, followed by tearing sounds as they ripped through the Christmas paper.

Trunks turned and looked at the two sternly.

` You do know the faster you get through those the sooner you wont have any left right? ` To this the small children turned and looked at him with big Son grins. Once Goten and Trunks smiled back, their grins turned into smirks and they dove back under the tree. Goten shook his head and said,

` Kids. `

` Hey whatcha got there? ` Trunks asked the dark haired boy. Turning, the little guy jumped onto the couch between them and held up a capsule marked VGR. He turned to his lavender haired father and said

` Its got letters on it. I cant read it. ` Holding it right up close to Trunks nose the yougster looked at him expectantly.

` Well, it has the letters V, G, and R. What do you thing it stands for? ` Trunks asked.

` I dunno, V is in my name. So is G. Whats the other one there for? ` The little boy asked. His blue eyes shone as he tried to guess. Other than his eyes, he was an exact copy of Trunks` father.

`You really wanna know? ` Whispered Goten in his ear. Vegeta turned around with big eyes.

` Yeah yeah! `

` Well, what have you been wanting really bad that your daddy and I already have? `

Vegeta spun around to face his other father with a big smile. He stood up and started jumping on the cushions. Trunks and Goten just smiled at each other. Suddenly their daughter appeared beside the couch and looked up at her brother with a smirk.

`Stupid little brother. Stop it, you arent supposed to jump on the couch. `

` Dad! Goha just called me stupid again! And Im not little eitha, I can beat you up! `

` Oh no you cant your just a big sissy. ` With that said she stuck out her tongue and began running around the couch in a blur. Vegeta jumped down and started to chase her. Trunks face fell in his hands. Goten looked over to were the presents lay stripped of their bright packaging. Goha had thrown the dolls aside along with the clothes and set up her punching bag.

~So much like Pan.~ Goten thought as he snapped his fingers together. He got ready to yell to interrupt the insults the five year olds were flinging. He would have to limit their playtime with Grandpa Vegeta if their mouths persisted.

`- at least I dont have hair that looks like a christmas tree you midget saiyan! `

` Im only five and I do not! Im gonna tell granpa you said that! His hair is just like mine. Hes gonna beat you up real bad! `

` Oh no he wont Im his little baby princess, ha ha. You better run faster than that or Im gonna catch you and put pink lights in yer hair. Oh and pretty bowes too! `

`Ahhhh! Daddy Daddy help me make her stop! Shes being mean again! ` Vegeta whined as he jumped back up on the couch and wrapped around Gotens neck. Goha stopped and looked at her brother triumphantly. She looked so much like Pan except her eyes were blue too. She climbed up into Trunks` lap and smirked again at her brother.

` That capsule you have is marked VGR. It stands for Vegeta`s Gravity Room. ` Trunks said. Goten watched Goha`s face fall a little. With one arm around Vegeta he dug into his pocket and produced another capsule, which he tosed to her.

`That, is part of your big present.` Goten said. She looked at it and spelled out what was written on the side.

` B - A - R - N. Whatsat spell? ` She asked curiously.

` Get your coat and you can find out. ` Trunks said into her black hair. Vegeta squirmed around a bit. So Goten said,

` Everybody get your coats and go out back. ` Trunks threw Goten and Vegeta`s coat to Goten while he put his own on and watched Goha struggled into hers by herself.

~ Dende, how she reminds me so much of father.~ Trunks thought with a smile as he followed her out into the snow covered field that was their backyard.

Goten was quickly followed by Vegeta who shut the door. They all stood their in the falling snow and watched Goha take a few steps forward. Goten called to her.

` Go ahead and toss it. This is our present for you. ` She didnt need to be told twice. Once the smoke cleared she ran as fast as she could into the barn and looked around. It had a big loft and two stalls. It even had hay. She came back out with a smile on her face but Trunks and Goten could tell she was close to tears. Their faces broke into wide grins as they walked up to her and took her hands. They told her to put her hands over her eyes and not to peek.

Trunks felt for his sisters ki and when he found it he gave her a nudge mentally. That was her sign. She walked around the side of the house leading a huge beautiful black horse. It had a blue halter and lead rope much like her own hair and she came to a stop a few yards away. Vegeta was beginning to shake he was so excited but didnt want to ruin the surprise. He really wanted to run over and hug his aunt Bra but knew he had to wait.

Goha stood absolutely still as she waited. Trunks and Goten smiled at Bra. She was their savior.

Trunks had finally figured out a way to create a child from a gay couples eggs or sperm without any outside genetic influence. It had taked 15 years, but he did it. Their children could have been grown in the lab but they all thought that was cruel. Bra volunteered after seeing all the hard work her brother had put into the developement of the idea. Their father was proud and told himself he always knew Trunks was smart enough to figure it out.

The horse shifted its weight carefully in the snow, then stamped its foot and Goha started to shake along with Vegeta. Trunks and Goten each put a hand on one of her shoulders and said

`Open.`

Her eyes flew open and she made the most adorable face. Keeping her excitment in check she slowly approached the big creature with awe in her eyes. She had watched so many shows on horses she already knew almost everything about them. When she reached it she moved towards Bra who let her have the lead rope. Backing away a few steps she stopped. The horse took a step forward and lowered its soft nose to her hair. It shook all the snow of itself then lowered its head again and blew gently on her head. Her smile was huge and pure joy.

After leading the horse around for a while and letting both children sit on its back, they put it in the barn for the morning. Goha fed it then Bra suggested she make them all a Christmas breakfast. Vegeta and Goha raced off in front of Bra as she made her way back into their two story country house. Trunks and Goten watched the three head to the house then they turned to each other. Embracing in the cold morning air, their breath clearly visable, they drew warmth from each other. Pulling apart slightly they looked into each others eyes. Smiling, they kissed lovingly before turning back to look at the house which was now lit up.

` Merry Christmas Chibi, I love you. `

` Merry Christmas Koi, I love you too. ` They walked back to the house holding hands.
