Epilogue

"Hn…ridiculous ceremony." Vegeta plucked on his suit as I grinning fixed it again.

"Aw Vegeta-san, it means so much for me that you give me away. I wouldn't have asked anyone other then you."

"Hn…figures…Onna stop fumbling!" He gently waved my hands away. "You might wrinkle that dress." I peered at the classical white gown. OH I was so excited!!! My wedding! Bulma arranged it all. And it was my dream marriage! Chapel…long white gown. Trail…

  "Oh I think I'm too scared…" I sunk down.

"You defied the wench, you'll handle this."

"But…it's for real…"

"Off course! Silly onna. You already have been married for Saiya-jin standards for about…how long have you been here?"

"4 months…but look at this!" I pounced my stomach. "What if I trip…"

  "You won't. By Kami. This is just a Pre-Bura marriage…she'll be just as annoying." Hurt I glanced at him.

"Annoying?" I whimpered. He sighing rolled his eyes as the door opened and two girls zipped in. Pan and Bura beamed in their smaller versions of the wedding dress. They'd be the bride maids. But one was missing…Juuhachigou with Marron strolled in, in similar gowns.

  "I hate gowns…" Juuhachigou informed.

"You look smashing!!" I sung. "Besides you like weddings…right?"

"Right…if the end it turns in a fight, I'll love it. And look who I dug up." Juuanagou entered in a black suit.

  "I don't get it sister, she's not even related."

"Shut up. She's not related to anyone here. Might as well be to us whacked up family." I blinked.

  "That an invite?"

"Absolutely. I'm warning you. it's screwed. But betting on Killen's grin. His best friend a brother in law…funny." Juuanagou humped.

  "I still don't like him sis…"

"SHUT UP. All you do is complain. Now hush and be pretty." Vegeta humped.

"That means I'm out." I clamped him.

  "NOOOO. NO, you said you would give me away so you will. You swore!"

"Silly onna. Just teasing…"

"No fun…"

***

I was edgy…so I married before. It was a quick thing. Suddenly two hands before me. I reeled and swatted them away. Goten cracked up.

  "Don't do that!" I stammered. My poor heart…

"Jumpy…cold feet yet?" He teased. Gohan solemnly entered. Still getting used to the break up and now marriage.

"Hi tousan…looking good…"

  "Thanks Gohan. Thanks for being here. It means allot…"

"Well took me a month, but I'm adjusting…dad she's so…young…she could have been your child…" I peered cross at him.

  "So? I know it's a big age difference, but I love her. She loves me. So there." Goten blinked and started laughing again.

"Gohan don't spoil it. Just look at him. He's a nervous wrack!"

"Hai…reminds me of my own…I thought I'd have a heart attack when she didn't come. Seems she misplaced her shoe…"

  "Okay…time to go." Piccolo peered inside and walked out again. Inhaling I closed my eyes. Focus…not a big deal. Planet wasn't blowing up…but my nerves were… Goten pulled me out.

  "Rings…" I stammered.

"Check. For the 6th time…" And there we stood…what if she changed her mind…what if…and if…then I'd…AHHH.

"Dad? Your fainting?"

"No…" I barely managed.

"You Are?" I stood more firm. I would NOT faint.

"No I won't. Can't faint. She'll chew me out."

"No she'd laugh herself to death before hosing you down with cold water." Goten sung. And you know what? I think she would…

***

 I held the cupboard.

"I can't!!!" Bulma and Bura pulling on me.

  "Sure you can!" Bulma stated. Heaving. My fingers dug into the wood in a frantic fashion. Vegeta already was waiting outside so was Pan and the others. Only Bura and Bulma here…my mental coaches…right…

   "You love Gokuu! And your leaving your nail marks in the wood…" Bulma stammered. I squeezed harder.

"I do love him, but there are lots of people there and I'll fall!"

"You won't fall. You just look at Gokuu and nothing else." Bura suggested.

"Gokuu?" I let go and we all tumbled over the other. I crawled to my flowers. My dress fluffed out in the many layers it had.

  "Oh my veil!!!" I fell sobbing down. "This will be a disaster…"

"Don't worry here it is. And here are your flowers, where are your shoes?" I stopped cold.

  "Oh by Kami…their still at Capsule corps…AHHHH bad omen!"

"I could…no it's too late. The dress is long enough. Go on your stockings.

  "But…FINE. Less chance on falling." Let Bulma put on the veil. Took the flowers from Bura and allowed them to fix the layers better again. Now I had to do it or dash out of the church. I had this commitment problem…ever since my parents broke up…and she married that ass of a male.

  I opened the door and glanced at Vegeta. Seeing the alluring open doors…

"Grab my arm and haul me to the altar or I'll screaming run away in fright…" Vegeta grinning took my elbow.

"How hard can this be, you say yes, he says yes and done."

"I'm scared for commitment okay?" I snarled.

"Woe you. Walk." I whimpered but fell in pace with him.

  "Um…mom? Should I tell her that with stockings the floor will be slippery?" Bura stammered.

"No way. Took us 15 minutes already." Bulma replied snickering. "Taking of which, get your ass before her." Bura snickering and ran before the couple.

  "Kay? Ready?" She asked and I stuck my tong out.

"Same to you auntie." Bura signalled the musicians and the march began. Why the hell did I felt like treading on ice? Literally? Frowning I tried to get more grip. Vegeta glared at me. Not my fault…

  "Your slipping…what is wrong?"

"No shoes…damned slippery…"

"Take them off then…"

"We're in the aisle!"

"So? You have a big dress…"

"I can't, okay…" he humped but damn he had a smirk! "Ass…" It even widened. Grrr…then I saw Gokuu and just…floated to him. To hell with stockings, to hell with shoes, who needed them…

  The service began and in a haze I heard it. How could you listen if you have him beside you. Who cared what he was yapping about.

  "Rixt-san will you take Son Gokuu as your husband?" I blinked huh? Gokuu peered worried at me. OH MY GODS…now? Okay…oops…had to say it.

  "I do." Gokuu smiled relieved as he was asked the same and said yes. Could I faint now? Please? I haven't slept for days…

"Then by the powers invested in me I declare you husband and wife. You may kiss Son Rixt now." The veil was lifted and I saw stars…in his eyes that is. He kissed me as around us applauding sounded.

  "So…was it a struggle?" Vegeta asked Goten.

"You bet…And you?" Bulma shrugged.

"I think we need to get the church a new cupboard…her nails dug deep in it." Vegeta burst out laughing. Funny. Gokuu pulled me in his arms so all could see…I didn't have shoes. They started laughing as did Gokuu.

  "Where are your shoes?"

"I forgot…" I smiled sheepish. In the back, we noticed a woman walk away…Chichi? As the middle aged womand, walked down the steps she exhaled. Well, that was that. No more cleaning up after dirty feet. Fixing huge dinners, dishes…She was free as a bird. Smiling she walked away.

***

"Gokuu?" I glanced up in our home. It really became alive…my daydream. Rixt smiled sweetly then winched.

"It wants out…in the bathroom my water broke…I think…I was on the toilet…he…ouch…" I sat beside her. smiling warm at her.

  "It will be fine. Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"NO, already told you it's too clinical…Ouch damnit…" I put her down and soon she announced she wanted to deliver in the woods? Woods…um…okay…maybe at the lake… So I picked her up and teleported to my fishing lake. It was kinda pretty. And the trees had a neat canopied roof around it where I lay her down in the soft moss.

  "Okay…this is nice…and pretty…" Rixt stammered. "AW DENDE…damn it…that hurt…" For 2 hours she grunted, cursed me…hehehe  finally she cursed me, and moaned loudly before a little girl was born. Finally!!! A GIRL. I'd love her as much as I did Pan. I kissed the little baby who wailed angry at me.

  "I know, it's colder here then inside…but you got a little too big for Okaasan's tummy." I muttered already in love. She had a tuft of black hair…like mine? Bwahahaha. Vegeta would have a ball.

  "Your…hogging…" Rixt panted. Oh yeah…

"Hold on, I'll wash her." Silence.

  "HER? I thought it was a boy…"

"No, a beautiful, tailed daughter…what…"

"Cut it. I hate to say it but this generation has no use for tails…" Using a small Kien-zan of Kuririn, I cut the soggy appendage off. She whimpered a bit. Then I bathed her and frowning because I forgot a cloth, I pulled out my shirt and wrapped her in it. Smelled a bit after me, but it was warm.

  "I wanna see!" Rixt whined.

"Coming up Ma'am. One clean baby girl." I sung and walked to her. Draping the mumbling Chibi on her breast.

   "Oh…oh…she's adorable!" I laughed. Number two in love. "But we don't have a name…" I glanced up thoughtful.

"Look there…" I pointed at a cherry blossom tree. "How about Sakura?"

"Do you agree?" Rixt asked the baby who fell asleep. "I guess that's a yes? Sakura it is. Oh Gokuu? Afterbirth…get it to the house and plant a tree." I blinked and started laughing. She glared up.

  "Oh sorry. It's not you. I totally agree. A birth tree." She nodded and peered at the cherry blossom tree.

"Get one of those…"

"Okay. I'll be right back." I walked to the tree and peered around for a smaller one. And there it stood. In a little bit of sunlight. A sudden sun beam? I peered up as it faded. Dende? I smiled up and gently dug it out.

  After carrying the young mother, baby and baby tree back I glanced stunned at the restored tree of Gohan. Wow…I thought it had been used for firewood…

"Thanks Dende…"

Your welcome. And congratulations on your third. You're a tousan…again. I beamed.

"Yeah, great eh?" Knelt down and dug a hole beside Goten's. Enough room for the tree to grow off course. Rixt whined inside so I ran back. Retrieved the after birth and planted the young sap on top. Tucking the soil around it.

Don't worry about Chichi-san. She's happier then she was in years. I nodded smiling.

"Good to hear…there. Do you think it'll manage now?"

Leave that to me. Watch.  The slumped leafs suddenly seemed revitalised and bravely stood up. Catching as much sunlight as it could.

"Wow…thanks allot Dende…"

Small service…oh…someone is coming your way by the way…

"Who?" He never replied. So I walked inside and helped Rixt to wash up and soon she lay in the hammock outside. With the baby. I did my Kata's. Vegeta landed. Rixt dozing and never noticing. So he walked to me first. Peering at the younger tree in the row.

   "A cherry tree? You had a girl?" I nodded proud.

"May Kami help you. Their a menace…she's starting to date…Never knew there were this many bad men…" How is she doing?"

  "Fine. She did great. She delivered in the woods. Where I fish?"

"Outside Ne? hmm. I want to see the Chibi." So he walked back to the hammock as I joined. Before he could touch her little head a hand grabbed his wrist. Vegeta peered at a yawning Rixt.

  "Ask first…" I beamed. She'd tried to work out with me. I'm sure Vegeta can feel it…

"May I inspect the newborn?" She nodded and handed him the tiny bundle. I beamed like a mad man. She was so adorable!

  "Adorable, with ki…by Dende, she'll be a super Saiya-jin at a young age. What is WRONG with this generation!"

"They inherited good genes?" Rixt mused sweetly.

"What ever. You will train her?" Vegeta asked me. I peered at Rixt.

"If you don't…" She warned smiling.

"If she wants, fine with me." Vegeta humped agreeing.

"She'll be like her Okaasan. You improved your grip onna."

  "Thanks." Rixt chirped. Little Sakura started bawling.

"Hump…I'm your prince, Chibi…" Silent as the eyes peered at him. Vegeta blinked. It worked? "Hn…finally some respect…" Rixt staggered stiff over.

  "I respect you heaps Vegeta…" She chided.

"Right…Here." He handed Sakura to me and seemed to prepare to leave. Rixt didn't want to hear of it though and hauled him into the house.

  "You come to see Chibi, sit your ass down. Gokuu hand him Sakura. I'll fix some tea." Happy as a clamp Vegeta sat wondering if he ever could persuade his onna to a third child…
