A/N: ::Clears throat:: Yes…I know…nearly two months since I last updated. I have had a lot going on lately so I haven't exactly had the time to update. I'm almost done with final exams and stuff so I managed to find some time to write this chapter. I felt I had too since a lot of people have been waiting for an update and also I got one or two threats ::sweatdrops:: anyway…on with the fic.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the beautiful plot and any characters that I obviously made up.

Chapter 23

Vegeta looked at Kakarott and took in a deep breath. How could so much go so wrong so quickly? The three 'so' question, the one Vegeta hated the most. He sighed and felt that he no longer had the strength to put up the wall of pride and ego for this was certainly not the time for it. Not too mention the fact that, so much was going to happen so soon, it hadn't even occurred to him yet that there was still a wedding coming in four days. What was he to do about that?

"Kakarott, it seems that we have been fooled by our own children." Vegeta said walking further into the house over to the kitchen where the Son family was. Bulma, Trunks and Bra followed him and they all looked like hell, Bulma didn't look bad she was just like Vegeta, stressed.

Kakarott looked over at Trunks and Bra and then he glanced over at Pan and Goten. The four of them looked like hell, he didn't want to think that it could be for the same reasons. He then recalled the events of last night when Goten went through his time of heat, and he grew worried.

"Perhaps you have a point Vegeta. Though I can't imagine why whatever is going on with my son and granddaughter would have anything to do with you and your children." Kakarott asked crossing his arms over his chest much like Vgeeta always did.

Vegeta opened his mouth but no words came out, Vegeta could hardly bring himself to do this unbelievable task, as he tried for the second time he said, "I think I need to sit." He said as Bulma brought a chair under Vegeta and Vegeta sat down rubbing his left temple in agitation.

Everyone in the Son family looked at each other curiously, what was up with Vegeta? Why was he acting so nervous? Pan and Goten were looking right at Trunks and Bra, but they were too weak to communicate telepathically with each other. They saw Trunks and Bra looking frightened beyond all reason, and it then had occurred to Pan and Goten that their secret may have been discovered.

"Vegeta, what's going on? You have never acted like this, for as long as I've known you. Just tell us, what about our children do you have to say?" Kakarott asked sitting back down in his chair followed by Gohan.

Vegeta growled and he then opened his eyes and looked right at Gohan and Kakarott, "Remember the night of the ball?"

They both nodded, "Yea, the start of mating season. What about it?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta shook his head almost as if he didn't want to say what was next, "Where were your children? Do you remember?"

Kakarott shook his head, "No."

Gohan also did the same and said, "No," He then had a concentrated look come over his face and he seemed to be in deep thought, "Wait…I remember seeing Pan walk outside into the garden. I wanted to follow but Videl told me not too, she said we should trust Pan enough not to get into any trouble." Gohan said looking over at Pan who was becoming more scared with each sentence.

"Goten was dancing with a girl who looked like Bra. But once we all got transported I don't know what happened." Kakarott said coolly.

Vegeta looked up at the ceiling and let out a huge sigh, "They said they went home and slept right?"

Kakarott, ChiChi, Gohan and Videl looked at Vegeta shockingly, "Yea, how'd you know?" Gohan asked.

Bulma then placed a hand on Vegeta's shoulder, realizing Vegeta didn't want to continue, "Our children told us the same story. For a while we believed it, but up until last night and this morning they were acting…different."

"Ours too," ChiChi said coming behind Kakarott, "Pan started throwing up, Goten destroyed his bed in his sleep, Kakarott and Gohan had to dump ice water on him to calm him down."

Vegeta shot a glance up at Goten then at Kakarott, "Ice water? And the girl was throwing up? Was she eating a lot before that?"

Videl thought on the question for a moment before answering, "Yes, as a matter a fact she prepared herself a feast."

Vegeta felt lightheaded and faint, what a new surprise. Not even a surprise more like a curse. Bulma stopped breathing a moment when she heard what Videl said, "Our Bra is the same. Trunks also needed ice water dumped on him last night. We thought it strange for those are all signs of bonding withdrawal the girls were showing other signs."

ChiChi squeezed Kakarott's shoulders hard before saying, "Signs of pregnancy?"

Bulma merely nodded.

Everyone was silent; they were all trying to take everything in. Trunks, Pan, Goten and Bra weren't saying a word as they merely looked at each other and at their families.

Vegeta then smashed his fist down on the table, "Enough with the silence! I'm sure you have all put these events together. Even if you haven't we know what is going on. Our children confessed it to us early this morning."

Everyone looked at Vegeta silently, "Go on Vegeta." Kakarott said looking very angry.

Vegeta looked over at Goten and Pan and shook his head in severe disapproval, "Your children and my children, weren't at home the night of mating season. They were off together somewhere on this planet becoming very good friends." Vegeta said with severe sarcasm.

Gohan needed no time to take it all in, he shot up from his chair looking right at Pan, "How could you! Why? Do you have any idea as to what is now happening here Pan!? Do you realize the consequences of what you and Goten did!?"

Pan lowered her head and put her hand gently over her stomach that was till as flat as always, "I will have a baby." She replied flatly.

Bra then felt that she shouldn't make Pan go through that alone so she stepped up and said, "So am I."

Goten looked at Bra shocked, Trunks hardly knew what to say or do. Both Trunks and Goten just found out that they will be fathers, they had no idea what to do about it.

Vegeta shook his head, Kakarott was speechless but he then found it in him to speak, "So what do you plan to do Vegeta. You are the king, and only you can decide what is to become of my family now. I know we haven't been friends in twenty-one years, but don't you think we need to forget about the past and worry about the future?"

Vegeta sighed, "I wasn't expecting this as part of my future. All I can really think about is that in one-year we will be in a war fighting for our home. What do you think is more important to me? If we lose the war none of what we have discovered today will matter."

Everyone was silent as Vegeta gave everyone a hard dose of the truth, Gohan was furious, his only daughter was now pregnant with the prince's child to make it sound worse, the King's grandchild. He wanted to kill Trunks and rip out the child inside Pan, but Gohan knew he wasn't such an animal. He knew he just needed to calm down, but when he heard Vegeta talk about the upcoming war, he lost his train of thought with Pan and the baby and focused on what was really more important which was the war.

"Vegeta, none of us can concentrate on the war until this situation is taken care of." Gohan said.

"What situation Gohan? You and I will be grandparents; that's the situation. Though it aggravates me beyond reason that my bloodline got infected with yours. If I would've known this before I would've killed your daughter and brother, yet if I do that I kill my children as well."

ChiChi was surprised by Vegeta sense of reason, "Vegeta is right. A foolish feud is nothing compared to the lives of our children. We can't get angry, what has been done cannot be undone."

Videl then took in a deep breath as if she was going to say something that might create more controversy, "What of the weddings?"

Vegeta's brows came together, "What weddings?"

"The weddings of your children to Princess Rima and Maduka." Videl replied.

Vegeta shut his eyes immediately as if that was something that was also going to have to be ended and that in ending the marriages it would result in something catastrophic, "They will have to be called off. Although, now we may not have Gemtia's backing in the upcoming war."

ChiChi then looked over at Pan and Goten and then she looked at Trunks and Bra, she saw the love they had for each other and she knew what needed to be done, "Well don't say that there cannot be a wedding."

Vegeta looked at ChiChi nervously, "What do you mean?"

ChiChi smirked, "Well, if our children and yours are already bonded and having children of their own, don't you think they might as well be wed?"

Vegeta's eyes went wider then ever, and he buried his head in his hand, "Why? Why has this madness plagued my family?"

Bulma nodded, "Perhaps ChiChi is right Vegeta, it only makes sense."

Vegeta after about a minute or two of giving himself self pity he said, "There will be a wedding in four days, Dende have mercy on my sanity. But once the brats are born Pan and Bra must begin immediate training for the war, for they are the strongest female warriors we have. Trunks and Goten must not stop training and must devote all their time into training for the war. That goes for everyone else in this room. I will not let the union of our children interfere with the battle to save our home planet."

Trunks, Pan, Goten and Bra were left in shock about Vegeta's understanding with the whole situation. What confused and shocked everyone the most was that, Vegeta hadn't threatened to kill anyone or try and keep his children and the Son children apart.

Bulma then asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "Vegeta, why have you been so understanding about all this?"

Vegeta looked at Bulma and smirked for the first time all day, "Don't you know?"

Bulma frowned, "No."

"This is nearly exactly how we got to be together."

Bulma smiled, "You're right, it is nearly the same."

Gohan then got up from his seat, "Alright Vegeta you have a deal, we will fight and never stop fighting until we win. Everyone will train."

Vegeta nodded, "You might as well all move into the palace as well. Training facilities in the palace are much better then the ones at the gyms."

Kakarott then got up from his seat and said, "Wait! Before any of this happens there is one more matter which I think we need to discuss right away!"

ChiChi looked at Kakarott worriedly, "What?"

Everyone waited silently for Kakarott to answer, "We need to pick baby names!"

Vegeta had then had enough, "Shut Up! Kakarott!" Vegeta then punched Kakarott in the face sending him straight through the house and into the backyard.

Vegeta then hollered, "The boys will be named Vegeta of course!"

Bulma then shot Vegeta a hard glance, "Who says they'll be boys Vegeta?"

Vegeta growled.

Trunks, Goten, Pan and Gohan started laughing, and then they finally felt safe enough to go over to each other and just feel each other in a warm embrace.

Vegeta looked on and shook his head, "Dende I beg you save my sanity."

Ok do not slaughter me if it's too short. The next chapter obviously discusses the new life of the Sons and the Briefs living under one large roof. The double wedding is coming up, the birth of the babies is still to come and the final war against the Kantu is still too come! So stay tuned! Ja ne!
