It was three weeks later and Videl was at home. Her period hadn't come on time that month and she was beginning to worry. She had a doctor's appointment the next day but right then she was getting ready for the freshmen prom at their school that Gohan was taking her to. Gohan had fallen out of heat about a week before and her hips were just beginning to stop throbbing. Ever sense Gohan had fallen out they had been talking a lot about their pasts. Gohan had a lot to tell but Videl loved to hear him tell about himself. It was just like reading a book.
"DAD!!! WHERE ARE MY SHOES????!!!" Videl screamed from the top of the stairs. Hercule appeared at the foot of the stairs his hands on his hips.
"Why do you need them!?? So you can go out with that squareny kid!!?? I forbid you to see him!!!" Hercule yelled at his daughter. Videl flouted into the air and shot down the stairs. She stopped three inches from her father's face and grabbed the caller of his shirt.
"I can see anyone I want to. AND HE BEAT YOU IN A PERFECTLY FAIR FIGHT!!!!" Her voice started in a deadly hiss and rose to a yell. Hercule yelped and tried to pull away from her. He couldn't get out of her iron grip. Now he had a really painful headache. "AND I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!!! I CAN SEE ANYONE I WANT ANYTIME I WANT TO!!" Videl screamed and let her dad go. He slammed to the ground and looked up at her. "Now where are my shoes? Gohan will be here any minute and I'd like to be ready," Videl said in a perfectly calm voice (AN: Tell me. Is she having mood swings? Oh yes she is! Guess what that means????).
He handed her her shoes and watched as she walked up the stairs without any other augment and into her room. As she got to her room she remembered to be careful not to mess up her face, she did have makeup on after all. Her lips were painted a light pink color, with the same color shadowing her eyes. She slipped out of her shirt careful not to let it drag a crossed her face. She pulled her pants off and stepped into her dress. She pulled it up and held it in place with one hand as she yelled out the door. "Sanith! I need your help!" She cried.
Sanith came running down the hallway, "Yes miss? What can I do for you?" Videl smiled and bekended her into her room.
"I need you to zip up the back of my dress for me I can't reach it," Videl said turning away from the servant that had been in the house for as long as she had. Sanith was about twice her age, being brought to the house just after Videl's 3rd birthday, and being about the same age as Videl was now. Sanith zipped up Videl's dress and turned her around. She looked at her face and hair. She smiled at the way Videl looked with short hair.
"Miss may I ask why you cut your hair?" Sanith asked looking her over, her smile widening. The dress Videl was in had no sleeves, leaving her shoulders and Gohan's bite mark open to show the whole world. It was held up by a thin strap that the ends of met behind her neck. The top hugged her chest and stomach. It flared out gently at her hips flowing loosely down her legs to her bare feet. The hems were stitched with thin sliver colored thread, were as the rest was a deep blood red. The satin cloth rubbed against her legs causing her to shiver realizing how cold the dress really was.
"Gohan said it might help with my fighting chances so I did it. Plus I think he likes it better this way. It doesn't get in the way of... things," Videl said as she tied the strap into place. She then walked over to the full length mirror on the wall and twirled, seeing that the dress didn't go up to far. She smiled at the way she looked and walked over to her vanity. She picked up a set of earrings and put them on. She then picked up the thin silver chain with the small cross on it, that her mother had given her and walked back over to Sanith. Who was taking the time to straiten up Videl's bed. "Sanith could you clasp this for me?" Videl asked turning around again and slipping the chain around her neck. Sanith clasped it and then stepped back. Videl looked into her mirror again and grinned. "Gohan had better like this. I was planing on wairing jeans to the prom but hell with a date you might as well show off a bit right Sanith?" Videl said turning to the short, staky, red head. Sanith's green eyes danced with pleasure at seeing her master's daughter finally looking like the women she was.
Just as Sanith was about to answer the door bell rang. Videl and Sanith left Videl's room to find Gohan walking up to the foot of the stairs, Hercule yelling at him. Gohan was ignoring Hercule's prattle pretty much. "DAD! What did I tell you not five minutes ago?!" Videl yelled now standing at the top of the stairs, Sanith having excused herself. Hercule backed away from Gohan slightly his voice droning down to a slight mumble about nothing at all. Gohan smiled and looked up the stairs. His eyes stooped at her bare feet and gently worked their way up the flowing satin skirt. He trailed his eyes up her body letting them linger on her hips and her chest for mere moments before moving on. After he had looked her over he look at her fully for a few seconds. She was standing at the top of the stairs her hands on her hips, her shoes in her left hand. A small smirk on her lips, she dropped her shoes to the floor and slipped her feet into them. They had slight heels that she knew she could dance in, they were the same silver as the hems of her dress. Gohan smirked at the way his mate looked. "When did I start referring to her as a mate? I sound just like that asshole Vegeta," Gohan thought to himself walking a little closer to the stairs. (AN: If I'm just rambling on I'm sorry. Blame it on it being 2:08 in the morning and the fact that I just had my appendix removed 7 days ago. And the fact that I really don't know where to take it right now. I know what I want to do with the next chapter but I just don't know how to work it into that situation. You know the Brief's family over at Chi Chi's and something really cool happens. Oh I just don't know how to get it there. Okay now I am just rambling on. Sorry about this BACK TO THE STORY!! well let's put it this way. THE STORY WILL BE BACK IN THE MORNING! Night guys... I'm back and I got a lot of sleep! now Back to the story!) Videl walked down the stairs and hugged Gohan before slipping her arm under his and trying to tug him to the door. He stopped her and pulled a clear box out from behind his back. He pulled the corsage out of the box and slipped it onto Videl's left arm. The white rose bud clashed with her perfect tan making it look a little darker. Videl smiled and hugged him again. This time when she pulled away Gohan kissed her. Videl's arms slipped gently around his neck as she returned the kiss, her lips parting to allow Gohan entrance. Gohan's tail snaked around Videl waist as his hands rested on her hips, kneading gently. As Videl pulled away she found she couldn't. Finally Gohan let her go but his tail stayed right where it was. They walked out of the house and out onto the lawn.
"I'll have her home before midnight, Mr. Satin" Gohan cried out, before calling Nimbus. Videl stepped onto Nimbus and sat down watching Gohan. Gohan smiled at her and sat down on Nimbus behind her. She leaned back against him as Sanith came running from the house holding Videl's coat.
"Thank you Sanith. I guess I forgot it," Videl said laying it a crossed her lap. After Sanith had gone back into the house Gohan told Nimbus to head to the school.

It was four hours later and Gohan and Videl were standing the corner of the Gym drinking pouch and talking.
"Then my dad landed and told Cell that he gave up but he had someone else that would fight him," Gohan was saying as out of nowhere Sharpener appeared his hands on his hips.
"Videl! Where have you been!? I went to your house to pick you up but the guy at the door said you had already left with some other boy. You promised that you'd come with me!" Sharpener yell grabbing Videl's arm and tugging her away from Gohan, (AN: I don't think this is a good thing. Do you?).
"Sharpener, what are you doing? Let me go!" Videl cried trying to jerk her hand out of his grip. (AN: He's on steroids okay. So she can't get away from him.) When Sharpener didn't let go of Videl Gohan stepped forward.
"She said let her go. I would if I were you," He said in the calm voice he uses when he's really really mad and trying not to blow up. Sharpener just looked at him and smirked seeing Gohan standing there trying not to hurt anyone.
"No. She's my..." before Sharpener could finish Videl had clamped her hand over his mouth looking at Gohan with fear in her eyes.
"I really wouldn't say that if I were you, Sharpener." Videl said when she saw that Gohan was holding himself at bay for now any way. "See this?" Videl asked pulling her hand away from his mouth and pointing at the bite mark on her neck. Sharpener nodded looking at her like she had grown a new head. "Gohan did that. It shows that I'm his and no one else's. Got me? Now either you let me go or Gohan here will make you let me go," Videl said. Sharpener let her go and took a step back.
"You little... You had no right to do that!" Sharpener yelled and lunged at Gohan. Only to be stopped by Videl tripping him.
"Yes he did! I let him! And I did it to him in return!" Videl hissed at him. Videl looked down at him before turning back to Gohan. "Gohan let's go outside and finish what we where talking about." She said as Gohan nodded and held out his arm for her. She slipped her arm threw his and they both walked out of the gym leaving behind a very stunned Sharpener.

The next morning Videl woke up to find no one there. She was a little worried at first but then she remembered the night before. After they had left the dance Gohan and Videl had went up to the roof where they sat around talking some more. It was still hard to believe that Gohan had beat Cell not her father. But Videl had a feeling about that. How could her father have beaten him when Cell had thrown Hercule out of the ring with one blow. And Cell hadn't even broken a sweat. After about three and a half hours Videl remembered falling asleep on the way home from the school.
Videl crawled out of her bed and walked over to her closet. She looked down at herself to see that she was in her pjs. "I guess Gohan changed me when we got back here. Oh well he'll be seeing me naked a lot I guess. After all we will be together for the rest of our lives," Videl thought to herself as she pulled off her pj's and slipped into a pair of jeans and a long sleeved shirt. She had a doctor's appointment in a few hours and she needed to do a few things before then.
"Sanith! I need to talk to you!" Videl yelled out the door. Sanith froze and shook her head. She had been about to walk into Videl's room when Videl had jerked open the door and yelled at the top of her lungs without even looking to see if Sanith was there or not. "Oh man sorry San. I didn't see you there," Videl apologized profusely. Sanith smiled but didn't say anything about it. The two of them walked into Videl's room and Sanith closed the door behind her. The two of them sat down on the bed.
Videl looked at the floor trying to find the right words to tell Sanith what she needed to tell her, "San. what I'm about to tell you? I don't want you to tell my dad okay?" Sanith nodded and smiled. What ever Videl was trying to say had to be really big if she didn't want her dad knowing. "San... I... I think I'm pregnant," Videl said bluntly, "And I don't know if the maybe father will like it very much." Sanith smiled and patted Videl on the back.
"Gohan already knows and he couldn't be happier. Miss he loves you a lot more then you think he does. And I don't think you're with child I know you are," Sanith said causing Videl to gasp and look up at her. "You know that Gohan was in the mating cycle thingy when you guys first... you know? Well he didn't know it at the time but during this time if they ya know, the girl conceives. He just found it out right before he went to the prom and I guess it just kinda slipped his mind. Either that or he was afraid to tell you. But he told me last night after he brought you home. And yes he did change you last night," Sanith said. Videl smiled and pressed her hand to her stomach.
"So there really is a little one inside me." Videl stated. "Well thank you San. I guess I should cancel my doctors appointment huh? Could you do that for me? I want to go and find Gohan," Videl inquired as she stood up. Sanith smiled and stood up before excusing herself. Videl walked over to her closet and pulled her sandals on.
She was about to jump out her window when her father stormed into the room, "Videl! You need to get up!"
"Dad! I could have been naked!" Videl yelled stepping back from the window. Hercule hadn't seen that she was at the window.
"Oh sorry. But I thought you were still in bed," He said looking at her. "Why do you have on your shoes?"
"I need to go somewhere today," She said walking passed him grabbing his arm and pulling him out of her room. She closed the door behind her and walked down the stairs. She walked out the door and shot into the air before her father could stop her. She stopped and concentrated on Gohan's ki. Suddenly she felt him, "He's at home." She thought as she flew toward the son house.
About halfway there Videl suddenly started to spin because something had shot past her, "Hey! Watch where you're going!" She screamed and shot after the two people that had blasted past her. The two of them stopped as she caught up with them. Vegeta snorted and was about to head out again when Bulma glared at him telling him not to go anywhere. He snorted again but didn't go anywhere. He couldn't cross his arms because that would mean dropping Bulma. She had her arms around his neck and he was holding her to his side, (An: Think about the way Yumcha held her when they where going to see who the knew person was when Trunks first showed up. Oh and this is not to long after Buu was defeated so Videl and Bulma know each other. Oh and Vegeta's been wished back. Oh and the prom was on a Friday okay, now BACK TO THE STORY!)
"Hey Videl," Trunks said flying circles around her. He was only 9 years old after all. Videl smiled at him.
"You guys heading to Gohan's?" Videl asked.
"Yah, it's Goten's birthday," Bulma said. Just then Videl noticed the small gift in Trunks' hands.
"Oh no I didn't get him anything! Hey guys when you get there tell Gohan I'm on my way and I need to talk to him. Kay? I'm going to go and get Goten a gift! See yah!" Videl asked. She blasted off after Bulma had nodded.
Videl landed out side a toy store and walked in. She bought him some medal toy cars after some thought. She walked out of the store with the gift brightly wrapped and tucked under her arm. She shot into the air and headed toward the son house.
She landed on the front lawn of the house, her flight being uneventful. She walked up to the door and was about to knock when it was jerked open to reveal Goten with the famous Goku smiled plastered on his face. Videl smiled and handed him his gift as he let her in.
"Videl! I thought you'd come!" ChiChi cried coming up to hug her soon to be daughter in law, "Especially after you found out you're pregnant," ChiChi added to herself. The three of them walked into the living room to see most of the Z gang siting around. 18 and Krillon were siting in one of the chiars, 18 siting on Krillon's lap. Marron was siting on the floor at her parents feet reading a book. Bulma was siting on one of the smaller couches sipping on a glass of apple juice. Vegeta was sitting next to her his arms crossed over his chest and his normal scowl in place. But there was one thing that was different about his normal stance. He had his tail wrapped tightly around Bulma's thigh. Trunks was on the floor in the middle of the room next to the large table, doing pushups, on his dad's orders. Master Roshi, Oolong and Yumcha were all siting on the long couch, watching the ball game on the t.v. Every one was there but the one person Videl was looking for.
Suddenly Gohan's voice sounded from the kitchen, sending chills down Videl spine, "Hey mom is everyone here? Can I bring the cake out now?"
"Yah. Everyone's here, sweetiy," ChiChi called out directing Videl to an empty chair and Goten into a kitchen chair that had been brought into the room and put next to the coffee table that was loaded with gifts. Gohan walked into the room just as Videl sat down. She clamped her hand over her mouth so her groan wouldn't be heard by anyone. Just seeing him was enough to make her want to moan. He was wairing a blue tank-top, over a baggy pair of black jeans. His hair was a total mess but that's how Videl liked it. Even from a crossed the room Videl could see her bite mark. He had in his hands two very large cakes. Gohan walked over to Goten and set the smaller of the two on the table in front of him, before setting the other one on the other end of the table, away from Goten.
"Make a wish," Videl said right before Goten blew out the eight candles.
"Hey you guys! All I ask is that you wait to open the gifts until I get there," Out of nowhere Goku's voice resonated in the small forest set home. "The Namiks are wishing me back with their dragonballs. Isn't that great?" Goku asked using poor King Ki as a telephone. Videl stood up at hearing his voice but seeing him.
"Really? Oh Goku!" ChiChi cried jumping up and down.
"But Dad I thought you didn't want to come back?" Gohan said looking heavenward.
"Well, I wanted to be there for the wedding's all," Goku said. Gohan could almost hear his father smirk.
"DAD! I haven't even asked her! So please just be quite for now!" Gohan yelled in Saiyan knowing his father could understand him.
"What wedding?" Videl, and Bulma asked simultaneously. Gohan laughed nervously and was about to tell them that his dad was mistaken when Goku appeared out of no where.
"Yah! My wish came true!" Goten cried before lunging at Goku and hugging him. Trunks looked up at Goku and smiled. Bulma move to get up and hug Goku when Vegeta gently squeezed her thigh with his tail. She smiled at him and reached out and gently ran her fingers over his tail, earning a twitch of his left eye. After Goku had pried Goten off of his neck he set him down on the ground and looked around the room.
"Okay I have one question?" He said looking at everyone. "Okay I count 14 people, including myself but I count 16 Ki's? Why's that?" He asked looking around again. Bulma giggled and set her glass down before latching onto Vegeta's neck. Vegeta smirked gently but didn't move. Videl smiled gently and slipped her hand into Gohan's. He had indeed moved over closer to her and wrapped his tail possevly around her thigh, not wanting to hurt the baby by wrapping it around her waist. That's when Goku pin pointed the two Ki's. "Oh I get it now," Was all he got out before ChiChi latched onto him in a bone crunching hug.
"Okay now everyone's here," Gohan whispered before siting down in the chair Videl had been setting in. Videl sat down on his lap as everyone settled in and Goten picked up one of the gifts. They would eat later.
Goten ended up getting some books from his mother. Weighted training clothes from Gohan witch earned Gohan an angry look from his mother. The cars from Videl. Four toys from Trunks, Bulma and yes even, Vegeta. Yumcha, Oolong, and Roshi got him a remote control car with the Capsule Corp. logo on it. Krillon had given him a sling shot, witch earned him an angry look from almost everyone. 18, and Marron gave him a great set of makers and a pad of paper, (AN: He likes to draw okay!) After Goten had finished opening his gifts they had dinner witch ended in a large fight over the last piece of cake, between Oolong and Roshi. That ended when Bulma walked over to the table and took the last piece taking it over to Vegeta and set it down on his knee handing him a fork. Vegeta smirked at her and she sat back down next to him. Throughout the whole party Goku was getting a little nervous. Vegeta hadn't threatened him, yelled at him for being a baka or anything of the like.
"Um Vegeta? Are feeling okay?" Goku finally spoke up (using Saiyan) when Vegeta hadn't growled at Bulma for sitting next to him.
"Of course I am baka!" Vegeta said, making Goku sigh. "Why do you ask?" Vegeta said calmly also speaking in Saiyan.
"You haven't threatened to kill me the whole time I've been back and it's starting to scare me," Goku said looking at Vegeta like he had grown a second head.
"I beat you in a fight. I'm happy," Vegeta said in a flat tone, biting into the piece of cake Oolong had been eyeing.



AN: I hope you liked this chapter. It took me forever! And it's not even as long as the last one! And the last one didn't take me nearly as long as this one. I'm sorry about the fact that ox king wasn't there at Goten's birthday but I forgot! Please don't kill me because of it! And yes Goten wished that his father would come back and stay! Any way the next chapter should be out soon! And who the person the guessed right will be stuck in here then! Okay well! *bows* till the next chapter of Dancing within the flames! Oh and one more thing! By the end of the next chapter you're going to probably want to kiil me! Well bu Bye for now anyway!
