Hey people. I've been working overtime on this story, with the planning and drafting and writing and all that. But I think you'll like the upcoming chapters. Until then, here's ten.

"Okay, here is your baby. See, here's the head, and an arm, and that's the stomach," Bulma said as she pointed to a monitor. Right there, in black and white, was our baby. And we could hear its heartbeat.

"So Bulma, was I right? Is it going to be a little Marron or a little Goten?" 'Ten asked.

Bulma smirked as Goten got ready to put on his smug little I-was-right face. "Let's put it this way sweetie. When you think of names, don't forget to put Bulma into consideration." And she walked away.

I smiled. "I guess you were right. Now we can paint the spare room pink."

He gave me a kiss, and then kissed the baby. "We have to go tell everyone now. I'll call our parents and tell them to go meet us at Kame House, you wait here. Oh, and see if you can get those printed out or something. I want to hang them all over the house. First pictures of my daughter, after all. I think we need to put them in your photo album."

"Of course. Get Gohan and Videl over there too. She is Pan's first cousin. And what's happiness if you can't share it?" I sat up and swung my feet over the edge of the bed. "I think I'll come with you."

He scooped me up in his arms.

I screamed. "Goten! I have a hospital gown on! My ass is sticking out!" I kicked my legs. "Let me at least get dressed first!"

"Oh fine," he laughed. "I know! I'll call our parents, you get dressed and run over and see if you can tell ol' Briefs. I'm sure he'll want to know."

I nodded. I wandered off into one of the bathrooms and changed. Then I ran down the hall to the house and grabbed one of the phones. Quickly, I tapped out the Capsule Corp. number.

"Trunks Briefs," he answered.

"Meet me at the front desk in the lobby in two minutes." I hung up the phone and practically skipped down to the office building.

When I got to the lobby and saw him coming out of the elevator, I almost knocked him over.

"Whoa, Mazzie, what's the rush?" he asked, trying to pry me off of him.

I laughed. "Well Trunksie-poo, guess who's having a little girl!"

"Really? Aw, that's great." His smile faded. "I've been meaning to tell you something." He let go of me and scratched his head. "Um, if she's-- if she's mine, I want you to know I'll do whatever I can to help. I'm not gonna leave you hanging, you know, financially, or anything like that."

"Thanks Trunks. That means a lot. But save your zenni. She's 'Ten's. Think about it. You don't feel any sort of bond with her, do you?"

He shook his head.

"It would be a Sayain bond. You'd be able to feel the baby, and what she's doing. It's a father-child sort of thing. Your dad told me about it. So I'm thinking. And if you don't feel this, than she's not yours. So I think we're safe, for now, at least." I looked down at my stomach. "Piccolo said he knew, but I still have to tell 'Ten. Or else he will, and if 'Ten finds out like that, I don't know what I'll do."

"Yeah, I kind of know what you mean. But hey, let's not dwell on the bad, I see that husband of yours coming. How about the three of us go and celebrate?" Trunks suggested.

Goten waved as he walked up to us. "Hey Briefs, I'm positive Mar told you the good news."

"She sure did," Trunks said. "Congratulations man. So, how about a pizza, or two?"

I smiled. "Thanks Trunks, but we'll have to take a rain check. We're off to my parents' house. They don't know yet, it's going to be kind of like a surprise. But how about we make plans for tomorrow?" I suggested.

"Now what's all this news about?" Goku asked. Our parents were sitting at the kitchen table in Kame House and 'Ten and I were leaning against the counter.

I grinned. "Well, Bulma gave me a sonogram today, and it said that we are going to have a little girl."

"A girl!" Chi-Chi shrieked. "That's so exciting!"

"A girl!" Daddy shrieked. "Now we'll have another little baby girl!"

Goku smiled and Mom looked slightly amused. "Congratulations, you two," she said.

"Yeah, this is really great you guys," Goku said with his big-ass grin on his face. "Can we eat now?"

I saw the old, pre-marriage Goten reemerge one day in the beginning of December. I had just come home from having lunch with my mother, and as soon as I opened the door, Goten screamed out, "Stay there Mar! I have a surprise for you!"

He ran to the door and put his hands over my eyes. "Hi hon, hi baby. Okay, no peeking."

"Where are we going? You didn't destroy the apartment, did you? I kind of want a place to live." He led me somewhere, and when we stopped, he kissed my head.

"Alright, I've been working on this for a while now, when you've been out and sleeping." 'Ten took his hands over my eyes and I gasped.

The spare bedroom we'd been planning to use for the baby's room was totally redone. The walls were this beautiful soft pink color, and the bassinet our parents had given us was placed in the middle of the room, on a white fuzzy throw rug. There were white curtains over the window.

"'Ten," I breathed. "It's beautiful! I can't believe you did this!" I spun around and threw my arms around him. "I love it, and so will the baby."

"I was hoping you would. I know how much you wanted the baby to have a pink nursery, so I got Bulma to hook me up with some paint, and there it was. I just finished it about ten minutes ago, so try not to touch it. I'm gonna go get a fan to put in here to get the smell out."

I followed him. "Hey 'Ten, we don't have a name picked out for her yet. Have any suggestions?"

"Actually," he started, "I've been thinking a lot about Kira. I think it's a pretty name, don't you?"

"Yeah, it's pretty, but I've been thinking more along the lines of Aria. You know, something a little more exotic. And Aria is a little more musical; it kind of rolls off your tongue in this really pretty sort of way, don't you think?" I asked.

He fiddled around in the closet for a fan. "I guess. How about we wait until she's born? Let's make a deal: if she looks like me, we have to name her Kira. If she looks like you, we can name her Aria. How's that?"

I laughed. "It's so nice we can jeopardize our daughter's name like that. How about we name her what feels right? Who knows, in the end we could end up naming her something totally different."

"Yeah. Hey look, I found the fan." He smiled at my stomach. "I'm still gonna call her Kira until she's born. She needs a name after that."
