It had been a week since Rika and Yamazaki took an unplanned trip into the humidity room. The two had promised at Kaho and Li's insistence (mostly Li's though) not to tell any of the others yet. Toya didn't even know.

Li was busy training in the humidity room, still trying to figure out why he had been so damn nice (for him anyway) to Kakarott's insane mate. "Maybe it had something to do with that idiotic shopping trip." he mused. "I mean, that food we ate at that mall was pretty rancid, even worse than Kaho's cooking." At the thought of the blue haired female, Li cursed at the familiar tightening of his pants. "Damn woman! I'm trying to train! Get out of my head!" Li tried to block out all thoughts of Kaho, but it was impossible. "Damnit! I should have showered by myself this morning. Not only do I have to think about her, but I also have to smell her all over me!" he moaned, turning off the humidity. "Oh well, if I can't train because of her, I'll just train with her." A smirk formed over his features as he strutted out of the humidity room in search of his mate.



"Why hello Toya-chan! What are you doing here?" Kaho said cheerily.

"Me and Krillin were just on our way to Master Roshi's house. Your mom cornered poor Krillin but I managed to escape!" Kaho laughed. Mrs. Mirokucertainly had a way of trapping helpless people into mindless discussions.

Just then Li walked in, shirtless and sweaty. Kaho felt her heart jump. "Hey Li!" she said. "Toya's here." Li nodded at the small demi Manand grunted a greeting to the woman beside him. "Oh here's your lunch." Kaho said, motioning to a table packed with food.

Li sat down, and picked at his food, only eating about half of his normal intake. He was disappointed. He had been hoping to find Kaho alone, but instead she was here with Kakarott's brat. He frowned, becoming aware of a pair of big blue eyes watching him. He pushed away the leftover food with a simple "I'm not hungry." and walked out of the room.

Toya looked up at Kaho, who had a curious, worried expression on her face. "Is something wrong Kaho?" he asked.

"Oh, no nothing's wrong. I've just never seen Li turn away that much food. I wonder if he's sick." Toya thought about this for awhile, and decided that there was something he didn't know. He had heard his mother and father talking in hushed tones the other day, but all he had made out were the words 'Kaho and Li.' He had also noticed the strange look on Li's face as he had eaten his meal. He shrugged and told Kaho he had to leave, setting off to find Krillin.



"Master Roshi! What's up?" Krillin called as they landed next to the Kame House. Sonamia, Tien, and Choutzu came out of the house.

"Master Roshi's not here." Tien called.

"He said he was going to a strip bar." Choutzu said. "Tien, what's a strip bar?"

Tien blushed, and replied nervously, "Uh, I'll tell you later." Choutzu frowned but accepted Tien's answer. "Hey what took you guys so long anyway?"

"Well, we kinda stopped at Kaho's." Krillin said, noting the look of pain and anger on Sonamia's face. "Sorry Sonamia."

"Hey speaking of Kaho," Toya said, "her and Li were acting really weird today. I mean, he wasn't even rude to her and she seemed really worried when he didn't eat all of his lunch."

"I don't see why they should be rude to each other." Sonamia replied bitterly. "Last time I checked, they were sleeping together."

"WHAT?!?!?!?" Krillin, and Tien screamed at the same time. Toya and Choutzu seemed unaffected; after all, they didn't really know the significance behind Sonamia's words.

"Did Li's bed break?" Choutzu asked innocently. "I'm surprised Kaho doesn't make him sleep on the couch. I know I wouldn't want to be that close to him!" Tien blushed again and suggested that Choutzu and Toya go off and play. The two scampered off, splashing around in the water. Krillin and Tien were still very curious about this new development, so Sonamia proceeded to tell them about how he found out, omitting the part about how he was unfaithful.



LATE THAT NIGHT AT CAPSULE CORP.

"Damn bouncers, kicking me out." Master Roshi mumbled as he climbed up the drainpipe to Kaho's balcony. Kaho should be going to bed soon, and he figured if he was lucky than he could spy on her while she was changing.

"Muh. Master Roshi?" came a voice from a nearby plant. "What are you doing here?"

"Probably the same thing you are Oolong, I won't tell if you don't tell." The two turned back to the window, as Kaho was just walking in, wearing a small lacey little nightdress. The two cursed the fact that she had already changed, but were quite grateful to see her in the skimpy clothing. Master Roshi was busy trying to stop his nosebleed as the door opened. He looked up to see Li walk in, clad in only a pair of black silk pajama pants. (Remember these??? I'll give you a hint, go back and re-read story 4!) "What's he doing in there." The perverted master growled as he watched Li.

Kaho walked over to meet the Manprince, wrapping her arms around his thick neck and bringing her lips up to meet his. Li arms moved around her waist and pulled her against him, while his tongue sought entrance to her mouth. Roshi and Oolong watched with wide eyes as the couple kissed passionately.

One of Li's arms moved downward, his hand caressing her bottom before moving up under the silky fabric. With a quick flick of his wrist, he tore off yet another of Kaho's undergarments and dropped it on the floor beside them. Kaho whimpered as she felt Li's fingers toying with her, and she felt her knees going weak. Effortlessly, the prince picked up his mate, depositing her on the bed. He was about to undress her, when he heard a noise from outside the balcony window. He started to walk towards over to the huge glass doors.

"Li, it's probably just a cat." Kaho said, from her new position under the blankets. "Come to bed." Li didn't listen. He had learned a long time ago that the little things were what killed you. He really doubted that someone was out there waiting to kill him, but he couldn't ignore his instincts.

He opened the doors to find Master Roshi and Oolong, both in the act of trying to jump over the railing. Li grabbed both of them by the backs of their shirts and dragged them inside.

Kaho peeked out from under the covers, a mixture of anger and mortification pulsing through her veins. "What the HELL do you think you're DOING!?!?!?" she screamed. "I could have been NAKED!!! Or we could have been having SEX you PERVERTS!!!!!"

"The whole point was to see you naked, baka." Li cut in. "I think I'll have a lot of fun teaching these two a lesson about privacy and manners." he added with a devilish smirk.

"We weren't expecting to see HIM here." Master Roshi whined. "What is he doing here anyway?"

"One, it doesn't matter whether you were expecting Li to be here or not. And two, what does it look like we were doing, kuso?" Kaho growled. She was ready to jump out from under the covers and strangle the two hentai in front of her. If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing nothing but a very skimpy nightie, she would have.

Li laughed softly, he liked it when his mate was angry with people other than himself. It made her seem so incredibly Saiya-jin. "All right, I was in a very good mood until you had to go and interrupt us. You have one minute to come up with a feasible excuse for being here or I will kick your sorry little asses into next Tuesday!"

"Well, we ummm. We uhhhh." Master Roshi stammered.

"We were just ummm, testing the uhhhh.. FIRE ESCAPE! Yeah that's it! We were testing the fire escape! Can't have poor Kaho here trapped in her room if there's a fire can we?" Oolong bellowed.

Li looked unconvinced. "Nope. Not good enough." he said, picking up the two frightened perverts by their collars again.

"I don't see why he's so upset," Oolong murmured to Master Roshi. "I mean, it's not like we even saw anything!"

"I heard that." Li growled. "You're damn lucky I don't rip your little heads off. I would be a VERY unhappy man if you had seen anything more. If you EVER try ANYTHING like this again, I will personally kill the both of you, and I promise to make your deaths as slow and painful as possible." he trailed off, his voice dangerously low. The pig and decrepit old man nodded their heads quickly, murmuring agreements. Li walked over to the still open door and proceeded to literally kick the two right off of Capsule Corp.'s property. He dusted his hands off and turned to his mate. She was bright red, and he suspected that the adrenaline rush had worn off and she was now mortified. He walked over to the bed and climbed under the covers with Kaho, pulling her close and turning off the bedside lamp.

"Li," he heard her whisper, "I love you."

"I love you too. Now go to sleep."

"Li?"

"What?"

"I think I'm pregnant."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"I know."

"What do you think?"

"I don't know."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?!?!?!?" Kaho sat bolt upright in bed. "Are you happy, angry, what?" Li sighed and looked at his mate. He hated these damn emotions. He wanted to tell her so much but he was afraid. "Please just talk to me Li. I have to know how you feel."

He slipped a hand underneath her nightie, resting it on her belly. He could already feel the child's small ki. He felt a smile forming on his lips as he looked into Kaho's face. "Am I really going to be a father?" Kaho nodded and he smiled down at her belly. She was so relieved, she thought he might have rejected the child because of his stupid pride, but he seemed to be happy. "I don't know how to be a father." he said, his smile fading.

"Don't worry Li." Kaho said, taking his free hand in her own. "I don't know how to be a mother, but we can learn."

"But, what if.. What if I kill it or something by accident?" Kaho laughed softly. Li was so cute when he wasn't so cocky.

"You won't kill it Li. If it's part Saiya-jin, I don't think it'll die too easily." Li smiled up at her.

"I guess not." he said, his face flushing slightly. "How long?"

"I just found out a couple of days ago. I wanted to surprise you."

"Well, you kinda did." He pulled her close and kissed her, then snuggled back down into bed, his fingers absently drawing patterns on her belly.

******** 8 Months and 3 Weeks Later *************

"OH MY GOD! LI IF I LIVE THROUGH THIS, I AM NEVER LETTING YOU TOUCH ME AGAIN! I SWEAR I'LL BECOME CELIBATE!!!!!!"

"Push Ms. Briefs." the doctor ordered. "Just a few more."

"Woman," Li growled, "you're crushing my fingers."

"Oh Gee, SORRY Li. I forgot how much PAIN you must be in! AHHHHHH!!"

"One more hard push on the count of three! One, Two, Three, NOW!" The sound of a baby crying came into the room and everyone fell silent. "Congratulations. You have a beautiful, healthy baby boy."

"Li, he's so beautiful!" she breathed. "Come look!"

"He's got blonde hair."

"So!" Kaho said furiously but when he looked back at her, she only smiled. "Whatever you say Li-chan!"

Li only growled.
