After Gohan fully recovered from the surgery it was almost impossible to seperate him from the twins. It was like now that they weren't safe inside of him he had to keep them in his line of sight at all times to make sure nothing happened to them. When Goku had left the room while Gohan wasnt looking, when the demi-saiyan had noticed the absence of one of his children, he had charged after his father and snarled at him taking Eshalot from him.
"Sorry, sorry! I was just taking her to the crib Gohan!" Goku assured him, hands waving in front of him.
Gohan settled quickly and soon felt mortified at his actions. "I'm sorry Dad, I don't know what came over me." He apologized.
Goku, once assured he was forgiven, slung a hand over his son's shoulders and gave him a squeeze. "It's fine Gohan. It's probably a saiyan thing. I had a hard time letting you out of my sight when you were little too. But uh -" Goku pauses trying to carefully chose his words "I wasn't quite as zealous as you." His father trailed off with a laugh.
Gohan slumped into himself and cradled Eshalot closer to himself. Later that night he asked Vegeta about it as they sat in the front room of the capsule house Bulma had given him. Videl was out with Bulma doing something for the wedding.
"Your father is right. It is a saiyan thing. I wasnt sure how strong your instincts would be considering you are a half breed." Vegeta says as he pauses the drama they were watching.
"Seems like they're pretty strong." Gohan says a little embarrassed. "It's Hard to let them out of my sight at all. Even right now when there's no one else here and I can sense their ki, I'm still on edge."
Vegeta turns from the TV to meet Gohan's eyes. "What you are feeling is perfectly normal. Planet Vegeta wasn't a hospitable place. There were many dangers for our young that called for constant attention. Of course as we advanced that list went down. But Saiyain young are precocious and tend to wander off, so the instincts stayed."
"But shouldn't I be fine with family watching them then?" Gohan asked, the scientist in him taking over.
Vegeta rubbed his chin as he thought for a moment. "You should be, but maybe because you are a half breed some wires got crossed."
Gohan sighs. "I guess it doesnt really matter why, all that matters is that I get over it. I'm not going to be able to be with them twenty four seven in the future so I'm going to need to find a solution for this."
"Have you been scent marking them?" Vegeta asks.
Gohan stares at him bewildered. "What now?"
"Scent marking them. You know leaving your scent on them." Vegeta says as if it is the most normal thing in the world.
"No, why would I-" Gohan starts before trailing off. "Sometimes I think? I've been uh - Rubbing my cheek against theirs a little bit but I thought that was just, you know, normal human stuff."
Vegeta chuckles, a sound reverberating deep in his chest. "No that is a saiyan thing. Covering up their infant scent with the scent of a fully grown siayan would theoretically throw off predators and such." Vegeta explains. Then he pulls one leg up onto the couch and slings an arm around it turing to face Gohan fully. "Has it not been helping?"
Gohan stops a moment to think back on it. "Yeah I think it has been, but I don't do it all the time, I didnt want to upset them, Vegeta jr. always gets cranky when I do it."
"Tch, he is just fussy in general. It will comfort him too and make it easier for other people to watch them. They will feel more secure with your scent on them." Vegeta assures him.
Gohan smothers a smile at the response. He knows one other siayan who is fussy about affection but secretly loves it too. "I'll try that then." Then a huge yawn splits the air. "I should be getting to bed I think. I'll have an early start tomorrow." Gohan says as he stands from the couch stretching his back out.
Vegeta gets up to go but Gohan reaches out and snags his hand. "Stay with me until Videl get's home?" He asks and Vegeta nods and follows him into the bedroom.
With the scent of his children and Vegeta surrounding him he falls off to sleep quickly.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Things seemed to be in a constant state of chaos, and surprisingly it isn't just because of the introduction of two new lives, though they certainly added their fair share of complications. Videl, Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Eighteen were heading up the wedding party and it seemed like every spare moment Videl had she was dragged away by one of them to give her opinion on something wedding related. Videl and Gohan had suggested they waited until next year for the wedding, but Chi-Chi had insisted that they needed to make this family official, so they had been given four months left to get everything together, which had quickly dwindled down to two weeks.
Videl still helped out with the police force of Orange Star city, and Gohan was getting applications ready for college and trying to get back into fighting condition. It was a good thing they had so many other adults to help out because otherwise Videl and Gohan would be getting nothing done besides watching the twins and trying to catch a wink of sleep. Between, Gohan's parent's, Piccolo, Vegeta and Bulma, and Videl's Dad, they had all the help they could ever need. His only regret is with all the business it felt like he only saw Videl at night, and he almost had no time with Vegeta at all outside of training.
Today the Capsule house Bulma had given him was on the Brief's compound and Gohan was watching the kids while Videl was off somewhere. He didnt remember where with how busy they had been lately, but it was safe to say she was either stopping crime, or doing something with the girls for the wedding. They were out on the yard enjoying the sunshine, and Trunks and Goten were playing with the babies, giving Gohan some free time to just relax.
Goten was sitting with Vegeta Jr. telling him a convoluted story about a frog and a penguin going on some sort of trip, while trunks was sitting with Eshalotte. "Hey, Eshallote, watch this!" Trunks said excitedly as he fired off a small Ki blast.
Before Gohan could admonish him for shooting ki blasts around the children another voice rang out. "Trunks no blasts around the children, if something were to go wrong they wouldn't be able to defend themselves," Vegeta said as he made his way over to Gohan.
Trunks grimaced and yelled out. "Sorry." Before deciding on some other game to play with her.
"Hey Vegeta," Gohan said smiling up at him. He made to get up, but before he could Vegeta sat down next to him on the grass.
"It is good that they are so enamored with them. My brother and I were never close." Vegeta says and something wistful passes over his face for a moment, but before Gohan can comment on it it is gone. "Have you heard back from any of the colleges you applied to?"
"Not yet." Gohan says "The waiting is sort of driving me nuts."
Vegeta inches his hand closer to Gohan's and takes it in his own, to the younger man's shock. Vegeta wasn't one for public displays of affection, but it seems that lately, the prince had been stepping outside of his comfort zone. "Bulma tells me you will be accepted at all of them. That they will fight over who gets to keep you." Vegeta keeps his gaze on the children as he speaks so he doesn't notice the creep of red that crosses Gohan's face.
"I mean she says that but I don't know, She's just talking me up." Vegeta finally swings his gaze towards Gohan.
"Gohan, you got a perfect score on your SAT's and you already have your name on a patent," Vegeta says his face serious "A patent that is going to revolutionize the medical industry. There is no shame in being humble, but do not mistake that for talking down about yourself."
A bubbling warmth fills Gohan's chest at Vegeta's words and he squeezes the other man's hand. "I know things have been crazy with the wedding planning, but I don't want you to think I've gotten cold feet about the bonding. I just want to give it the time and attention that it deserves." Gohan says.
Vegeta's lips twitch up at that. "You know, bondings didn't have ceremonies usually, they were something private between the two Saiyans. I'm sure Bulma will want to throw some sort of party to commemorate it, but the act itself can be done any time."
"It feels wrong to just put it in my planner 'Bonding with Vegeta on Tuesday' ya know?." Gohan says.
"Then you want it to be spontaneous?" Vegeta asks.
"Something like that I guess," Gohan says.
Vegeta stands suddenly and lever's Gohan to his feet. "Trunks, Goten." He calls out "Bring the children inside so that your grandmother can help you watch them."
"Aw but Dad, we can watch them by ourselves." Trunks whines.
"Yeah, we're totally big enough." Goten adds.
"Take them inside, no arguing," Vegeta says with a tone of finality to his voice. The boys grumble but comply and march into the house holding the babies.
"Vegeta, what?" Gohan asks but Vegeta turns to him and places a finger to his mouth shushing him. "Follow me," he says and shoots off into the sky. Curious, Gohan blasts off and follows him.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
They end up flying for about an hour and landing on a small uninhabited island. They land and Vegeta beckons for Gohan to follow him. He guides them through a lush forest to a small cave. inside is a small pile of blankets and pillows.
"Vegeta what is this?" Gohan asks.
"This is a place I use to get away when the buzz of humanity gets to be too much." Vegeta responds.
"It's .." Gohaan trails off trying to put his feelings into words.
"I know it's not much..." Vegeta starts clearly embarrassed but Gohan intturupts. "No it's beautiful outside and this is fine."
Gohan smiles at Vegeta as he goes to sit on the blankets. Vegeta straightens at the acceptance and his confidence is back. He sits down next to Gohan and runs a hand along his shoulder and pulls the younger saiyan in for a kiss.
Gohan sighs. He's missed this. Vegeta and he had only been intimate once since the twins birth. Vegeta nips Gohan's lips and he obliginly opens to the prince. Gohan groans as their tongues mingle. As the kiss deepens Gohan gets more excited. He breaks away and climbs onto Vegeta's lap and takes a moment to caress the othe man's face before connecting their mouths again.
They go on like this until Gohan feels Vegeta's cock stiffen under his ass. He breaks away from the prince's mouth and kisses down his neck, leaving hickies as he goes. Then he grinds down on Vegeta's dick and the older man growls and knocks gohan to the ground, gets to his knees and cages in Gohan's body with his hands on either side of his head. "So that's how you want to play it." Vegeta says voice rough.
"I think we've had enough of going slow." Gohan replies cheekily.
"If you think that was going slow you clearly haven't had someone take their time with you." Vegeta replies and something wicked sparkles in his eyes. He leans back and pulls Gohan's shirt off over his head. "I think it's time someone worships you." Vegeta says and he starts with Gohan's neck, trailing kisses and licks on his neck. Gohan gasps and turns his head to the side to give him better access.
Vegeta slowly makes his way down his left arm. Gohan never knew how sensual having someone kiss non eregonous zones could be. His muscles keep twitching as the older siayan hits places he never would have thought would bring pleasure. When Vegeta gets to his fingers he takes turns pulling each one into his mouth and sucking on them, hollowing his cheecks obscenely.
After he is done with his arms he makes his way down his chest. Gohan moans as Vegeta stops to suck a nipple into his mouth then biting it gently. Veget a moves over to give his other nipple the same treatment. By the time Vegeta makes his way down to his groin Gohan is painfully hard, but the older saiyan ignores in and makes his way down Gohan's leg.
Losing patience and feeling like he is going to explode Gohan moves a hand down to plam his own dick, but he groans in frustraton as Vegeta intercepts his hand. "Vegeta." he whines. But Vegeta only smirk and responds with "Patience".
As Vegeta moves back up his leg and down his other leg all Gohan wants is for Vegeta to get on with it and fuck him. What he is doing is almost too much, every nerve ending sings under his mouth and it feels like he is close to exploding, but he never quite hits the edge.
Finally, Finally, Vegeta makes his way back up to his waist and then he looks up and meets Gohan's eyes and smiles deviously and then he opens his mouth and goes down onto Gohan's dick. It takes everything Gohan has not to ram himself in and start fucking his face. He moans as Vegeta goes all the way down in one smooth motion and his hips buck up involuntarily. Then Vegeta starts bobbing his head and Gohan is gone. He comes so hard he sees stars.
When Vegeta pulls off he stares at Gohan satisfied. "See patience pays off." As Gohan lays there boneless Vegeta positions his legs so his kenees are up and his feet are spread. Then he slips two fingers into Gohan's ass. He's pletnty slick from all of Vegeta's build up and his fingers slide in easily. Gohan groans at the delicious burn of it. Slightly pushing back into each thrust. His soft dick quickly gets with the program and hardens again.
When Vegeta pulls out his fingers and slides them back in with a third finger, Gohan growls and pushes Vegeta onto his back and straddles his waist. "Enough playing around. I want you to fuck me." Gohan grits out as he grinds onto Vegeta getting slick all over his slacks.
Vegeta's eyes dilate and Gohan can feel him harden even further. "Your wish is my command." Vegeta replies and he pushes Gohan away enough to take off his pants and shirt. Gohan is extremely gratified to see he wasnt wearing any underwear under that.
As soon as his clothes are off Gohan pushes Vegeta back down and grasps his dick and works his way down onto it. He moans as it hits home and takes a few moments to just breathe. But soon enough he starts moving, it takes him a few minutes to set a good pace for both of them, but Vegeta leaves him completely in control. A minute shift moves everything just so and Vegeta's dick hits Gohans prostate and he moans like a whore. His eyes meet Vegeta's and Gohan burns even hotter at the intensity he sees smouldering there. Vegeta's hands are like a vice on his hips, urgin him onwards and suddenly everything in Gohan is urging him tobare his neck.
"Vegeta, I need to.. Can you.." he asks so lost in the act of mating that he can't even formulate words.
In response Vegta rises up and locks his mouth around gohans shoulder. Gohan roars as he bites down, the pain exquisite in a way nothing else has ever been. Then suddenly he can feel Vegeta, all his emotions, his excitement, his love and his pleasure alike. Gohan groans and shudders and comes with a shout and Vegeta follows him.
Gohan slumps and Vegeta unclenches his teeth and licks the wound he's left behind. "Vegeta that can't be sanitary." Gohan croaks out he leans agains Vegeta's chest. Vegeta carefully lays them both down onto the pile of blankets and responds. "There are enzymes in my saliva that will jump start the healing process.
Gohan makes a face at that but lets it go. Surely Vegeta knows how this goes. "So all I have to do is tease you a bit and it seems your animal side comes out." Vegeta says as he runs his hand through Gohan's hair. Gohan would be offended, but he can feel Vegeta's amusement and his humor building in his own chest and that just steals his need to argue back from him.
Instead he says "You bring a lot out in me." and he pushes his happiness over the bond to Vegeta. He looks up at Vegeta and says "Everything is so intense now. I can feel … everything."
"It takes quite a bit of getting used to." Vegeta says and then his face turns dark. "Gohan, there are times when I lose myself and now you will be dragged into it as well."
Before the mood can turn completely maudlin Gohan interrupts. "I know Vegeta and I've been preparing for it. I've been reading up on panic attacks and dissociation and tools to deal with them. I know that I can't really test them until it happens, and I know that I will have to practice and it probably won't go smoothly at first, but it will get better."
Vegeta looks unconvinced so Gohan tries a different tactic. "I lost myself durning the cell games. I was so filled with anger at what Cell had done that I gave into it. Getting back was hard and it happened too late." Gohan looks pained and continues with a self deprecating smile. "But I learned from it." When Vegeta opens his mouth to interrupt Gohan just keeps going. "And I'm no stranger to panic attacks myself you know? My childhood wasnt easy either and it was filled with trauma, so I have some experience with dealing with the aftermath of that." Gohan reaches out and squeezes Vegeta's hand. "So don't count me out just yet okay?"
Vegeta looks at him, his eyes burning with intensity and Gohan wonders what exactly he is thinking, but then Gohan feels the tension slip out of him. "Okay, we can do this together." Vegeta says and Gohan sends him a blinding smile. "Now you need to rest." Vegeta says and pulls the younger saiyan closer to him as he gets comfortable. Gohan rolls his eyes at his insistance, But aquieses, a nap does sound good right about now.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
They make love again and spend time just familiarizing themselves with each other, but eventually the go home. All Gohan wants to do is stay wrapped up in Vegeta, but he knows that his children will be waiting for him. So as they land on the lawn of capsule corp Gohan places his hands on Vegeta's hips and pulls him in for a kiss. Vegeta deepens it and when they finally pull apart Gohan goes in for a short peck and says "I'll see you tommorw yeah?" And when Vegeta nods he pulls away and walks into the capsule house Bulma gave them. He can feel Videl and the baby's ki glowing brightly inside.
As soon as he enters the house Videl pulls him in and Kisses him on the cheek. "Welcome home Gohan. Did you have a good day?" Gohan smiles brightly and picks Videl up and spins her around. Videl laughs "I'll take that as a yes then! What's gotten into you?"
Gohan sets her down gently and pulls her in for a hug. He's so filled with happiness he feels like he could burst with it. His and Vegeta's intermingling in his head. "Vegeta bonded with me." He tells her.
Videl's face brightens and she squeals. "Oh Gohan I'm so happy for you!" She stands on her tip toes and rubs their noses together and pulls him in for another kiss. When she pulls back she pulls him over to the couch and sits down. "I know youve wanted this for a while."
"Yeah, he asked me about it today and it just sort of happened." Gohan explains as he sits down next to her, throwing an arm around her back. Videl leans in and lays her head on his shoulder. "Well youve heard about my day, now tell me about yours." He asks.
Videl goes into detail about her day fighting crime and how it ended with wedding dress alterations. "And you didn't invite me along?" Gohan asks petulantly.
Videl slaps his shoulder playfully. "You know it's tradition that the groom doesn't see the brinde in the dress until the day of. Plus there's no way your Mom would let us break tradition."
Gohn throws hia head back and laughs. "Yeah that's definitely true."
"We have less than two weeks left, are you nervous?" Videl asks.
"Nervous that the ceremony will go off without a hitch? Sure with friends and family like ours things are likely to go wrong." Gohan laughs then he sobers up. "But nervous to spend the rest of my life with you? Not in the slightest." Videl flushes prettily under Gohan's intense gaze. Then she leans in and kisses him. Gohan is embarrassed to find himself getting hard again. After the day he has had you would think he would have had enough of that, but apparently not. As the Kiss heats up he wraps his arms around Videl's waist. When they break apart he stands and hefts Videl into his arms at the same time. Videl shrieks and wraps her legs around his hips. He shushes her and walks them into the guest room, both of them giggling the whole way into it and shuts the door behind them.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Are you ready Gohan?" Asks Goku as Gohan straightens the collar of his dress shirt. From what he can see in the mirror his tuxedo is straigh and free of any dust or dirt. He gives his collar one last tug for good measure. "I wasn't really nervous the day I got married because I didn't know what I was getting into." Goku laughs and rubs the back of his head. Fondness for his father burns in his chest. That his father had done so well for his family is sort of a miracle considering he had no idea what he was doing. But he had, and now he was grown up and committing to his own family, as unorthodox as it was. His children, his partner, and now he was getting married and Videl was going to be his wife. His wife, he thought again. It didn't quite seem real even though he was going to be going out to the ceremony any minute.
"Earth to gohan, you there? You've been as spacy as me lately." Gohan laughed again and clapped his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "It's time son, are you ready? You have the rest of your life ahead of you, and everything changes now."
Gohan thinks for a moment, and everything would change from this day onward, he would be a married man. But Maybe the changes wouldnt be so big. He would still be coming home to Videl. His family would still be there to support him. His children would still need him to take care of them. Vegeta would still be there when he needed him. Piccolo would still be there to train with, and Bulma would still ask him to help out in the lab. For all that everything was changing, things were still going to be the same. Suddenly the unknown of the future settled into a shape he could see and slid into place into in the puzzle of his life.
"Yeah Dad, I'm ready." Gohan answered looking up and smiling at the man.
"All right then, let's get you out there. You don't want to be late on today of all days."
"No I definitely don't." Gohan replied and pulled open the door leading out to the ceremony. Tomorrow was a new day, and today was the start of what he was sure would be the best days of his life.
