Chapter Twenty Two: Sideways [1]

The business day drug by for Trunks. Every minute that passed seemed like and eternity or longer.

And to make matters worse- Trunks hated being pregnant. Wait; scratch that, he didn't hate being pregnant. He hated being- 'fat' it made him feel clumsy and unattractive (which he hated more than being fat) And his stupid ragging hormones! They made him feel- not just moody- but GIRLIE! And Trunks hated feeling 'girlie'.

The only thing remotely interesting that happened on that day for Trunks was lunch. Trunks was starving (duh he was eating for two demi- saiyins and think about how much one of them eats!) He quickly ate his food and then took off down the street- by foot. He walked down to the local conveyance store to pick up house ads and then headed back to his office.

He had been doing that more and more often. Walking places- Partially because Goten absolutely forbade Trunks to even THINK about flying, and partially because he felt so unexercised because he had not been able to fight or train like he usually did given the- obvious.

Thankfully Trunks had no other meetings scheduled for today. Well he was thankful for it until he realized that the lack of things to do only made time pass slower. (If that was at all possible.)

So Trunks spent the day skimming through house ads. He found very few things that looked like the might work. (Picky Picky)

"Maybe it would just be easier to build some thing." Trunks thought aloud. "That's it we will just build some thing. Now I have just got to find the right place."

***Home***

Trunks came home that night with mixed emotions. He was happy with the fact that today was the last day that he had to 'go' to work for a while. He didn't really mind what he did, it was just the simple act of waking up in the morning and leaving the house- leaving Goten that bothered him. So he was glad. no more work until the baby was born, but that was because he was about to get 'bigger'.

'Bigger' was the word Goten made him use as he insisted that he was not fat. But just 'Big' with their child. Trunks knew it was lame, but the fact that Goten loved him that much made him almost believe it himself.

He made his way slowly up the stairs to the second floor. Slowly- to conserve energy-hopefully he would need it later. Trunks opened their bedroom door to find his husband sitting in the middle of their bed- newspapers every where.

"Koi?" Trunks asked slyly leaning against the doorframe. "What exactly is it that you are doing?"

"Um.. Looking through the news paper."

"Oh.. Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Oh. No reason.."

'Oh he is going to play that game Trunks thought. "Well what part of the newspaper are you looking through?"

"Um" Goten bit his lip "The Funnies."

"Oh really? How come I don't see any pictures then."

There was a pause. Goten knew he was caught. He had never been that great of a liar any way and Trunks could always just see right through him.

"Fine." Goten sighed. " I am looking through the want ads."

"Why?"

"I am going to get a job."

"Um- no you're not."

"Trunks you can't tell me what to do!" Goten said defiantly.

"Goten" Trunks said trying to look as sexy as possible (which really would not have worked on any body but Goten)

"Today was the last day that I have to go to Capsule Corp. Until after the baby is born. We have finished school, and we are finally going to be able to stay together. I wanna spend every day possible with you!"

Goten's heart melted, and then Trunks proceeded to show Goten exactly what he planned to do with all their 'quality time' together.

It started off as a tender kiss, but then they both decided to put more into it. Goten slid the newspapers off the foot of the bed and then pulled Trunks down into his lap. And it wasn't even too awkward.yet. Goten let his hands wander to Trunks' small belly and thought to himself 'I can't wait until it moves!'

"So?" Trunks broke this kiss.

"So what?" Asked Goten a little breathless.

"No job yet then?"

"Okay." Goten sighed in defeat. "After the baby is born."

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"Look Goten. I have to work. It is my company. But, I don't want some stranger taking care of our child."

"Oh." Goten thought for a minute. "So you want me to be the stay at home mom?" Goten asked a little upset.

"No I want you to be a stay at home DAD. Please Go-chan, at least promise me that you will think about it?"

"Yes Tru-chan"

"Oh! I spent the day looking at house ads."

"Great! Did you see any thing that you liked?"

"Nope."

"Oh." Goten's smile faded. "Okay then."

"Don't worry love it. It actually gave me the best idea!"

Goten's smile returned "What?"

"I want to build a house."

"Not in your condition you don't!"

Trunks chuckled. "No Goten 'I' don't want to build the house. I want to hire some one to build it for us."

"Oh sorry. You know that I am dumb some times."

"You aren't dumb Goten. You are one of the most intelligent people that I know. You always think of the things that every one else seems to miss."

"Really?"

"Yeah Goten. And you better not listen to any one who ever tells you other wise."

They embraced again. Kissing. And for the second time it was Trunks who broke it.

"Goten-"

"Yeah?"

"If you really love me you will find a way to have sex with me. Right now."

[1]Just ponder the tittle of this chapter for a while. ..

A/N: Okay thanks to all of you who were supporting me through my most recent ordeal.. I know that I said she had posted a disclaimer chapter giving me credit for that which is mine, or based off this story. I don't own Dragon Ball Z but I do own the ideas of this story. I may need your help again, if I do not get what I was promised. As for know read and review because I am in a review war and getting beat. what you don't think that Trunks and Goten are the best couple? You think Goku and Vegeta and that other story are better? Well it looks that way. And Cranberry brains if I get on tomorrow and see that you reviewed this last chapter twenty times you will be in big trouble, as I do not want to win by cheating.
