"Hewwo. Hewwo. This is your big cousin Gohan." He rocked his two month-old relative, Kasaiyoku, in his arms; fortunately for his eardrums, she was drifting off into sleep. He looked up from Raditz and Iroke's daughter at Mirai. "It's kinda weird. My cousin's this young, and physically my uncle's just a couple of years older than me. And on top of that, HE'S about twenty or so years or so older, counting his years in hell, than his wife who's physically the same age." He shook his head.
Mirai snorted. "You think that's weird? I'm fifteen years older than MYSELF." Both men chuckled.
"Is Jennifer around? She wasn't at her house when I called so I thought she might be here, that's why I used Instantaneous Movement to come over." It had been a week since they'd talked to her about the case.
"Yeah, she's on her way. Said she wanted me to look over some of what she's written for the case, so this is really convenient. Shouldn't be long."
"Thanks. Is this the kind of visit where I need to leave?" Gohan grinned at Mirai's reaction, or more accurately lack thereof; he was beginning to get used to the teasing, and had barely blushed at all at this remark.
"Only after you actually leave. We're not exhibitionists, unlike some people I could name." He was referring to the time Gohan's mother Chi-Chi had come over to visit while he and Videl were engaged in other activities.
Before the younger man could get over his surprise at the older's retort (which was a rarity coming from him) and form one of his own, Pu'ar walked into the room. "Oh, hey Gohan. I thought I heard you."
"Hey Pu'ar. How are ya doing?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"Doing OK." Gohan paused for a moment. "Um...can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," she said, taking a seat next to the two half-Saiyans on the couch. "What is it?"
"How do you like being human?"
She laughed. "It's certainly different. For one thing, my feet actually touch the ground most of the time nowadays, so I don't have to concentrate on flying. On the other hand, I'll admit that clothes took a little bit of getting used to, but Bulma helped out there." All three gave a small laugh. "And after all these years, finally being able to really return all the hugs that Yamcha gives is great."
"Speaking of Yamcha, everything with him going well?"
She nodded. "Very well. If I'd known that he'd fall in love with me, I would have changed shape to a human permanently years ago. As it is, it's the best thing I've ever done. I just wonder..." She trailed off.
"Wonder what?"
"Wonder if we'll have any kids. I'd like to have at least one. Plus the look on Goku and Bulma and Oolong's faces would be hilarious to see." As they all laughed again, Jennifer entered the room, briefcase in hand. After everyone exchanged greetings, Gohan rose. "I'm just gonna run Kasaiyoku here back to her room." He walked down the hall, found her room (right across from Raditz and Iroke's) and placed her gently into her crib. To his surprise, she stayed asleep. He then returned. When he got back, Jennifer and Mirai had just finished explaining the case to Pu'ar.
"Any new developments?" he asked as he sat back down. The lawyer nodded (and gave him a small frown for taking the only available seat near Mirai).
"I've got most of the necessary papers written and forms filled out. I just need to know when you and Videl want to officially file suit."
"Well, when can you handle the case?" Jennifer opened the briefcase and rummaged through some papers until she found one with a list of dates. "Any of these."
Gohan examined the list. "Videl's over at her father's house...I'll give her a call and see which of these we can make."
As he walked into the kitchen to use the phone, Pu'ar turned to Mirai and Jennifer. "You two still getting along?" They looked at one another for a moment. Then Mirai got up, walked over to Jennifer, and sat on her lap. They began kissing.
"Well I guess that answers my question." At this moment, Gohan re-entered the room and didn't bat an eye at what he saw.
"Videl likes the one two weeks from now."
"Sounds good to me," Jennifer responded as she separated her lips from those of her fiance. "There hasn't been any trouble at college because of this whole situation, has there?"
Gohan sighed. "A couple of the other students are mad at Videl, and I think some of the professors are jealous of me. Other than that, no."
"Good. Once I get some more details, I'll give you the specifics about the court date. Until then, good luck teaching."
"Thanks, and thanks again for doing this. Talk to you all later." He placed two fingers to his forehead and promptly disappeared. Pu'ar arose from her seat.
"I've got to go meet Yamcha. You two just get back to what you were doing." She smiled and left. Jennifer looked at Mirai, still perched on her lap.
"Everyone else gone?"
"Yep, we got the place to ourselves."
She grinned. "You know what these are the perfect conditions for."
"I know, and no."
"Heh. Good, I can keep teasing you about it."

The next week, Itachi Nukeana, the college staff member who had threatened Gohan and Videl with a breach of contract suit, wasn't very surprised to receive notice that he'd been sued himself. Indeed, he'd half been hoping it.
Well, they wouldn't be able to win. He'd get his revenge on Son Gohan yet for his crimes...
Mirai snorted. "You think that's weird? I'm fifteen years older than MYSELF." Both men chuckled.
