Gohan and Videl: A sweet surprise



Chapter Seven: Bulma, the all-purpose genius



Last time...

But one advice, o husband of mine, you should not say something like that to me once my hormones have really begun to rage within me. Otherwise I won't know if you'd survive it... and I don't wanna see our baby grow up as a half-orphan... she told him only half-earnest.

Oh oh... was Gohans last thought before they began a snogging session at their old domain...



Now the continuation...

Gohan and Videl returned half an hour later to the barbecue, and naturally the others had a good surmise of what they had been doing...

Goten came running over to his older brother.

"Hi brother. Have you and Videl been sn.. snog.. snogging?" he asked innocently and with a goofy smirk that rivalled that of their father.

Gohan suppressed the starting blush and laughed nervously.

"Heh heh, well, actually, yes..." he said smiling.

Videl smiled at her husband's quandary. Some things would never change...

Goten on the other hand hopped up and down like a yo-yo, all the while singing

"Gohan and Videl are snogging, lalalalala..."

Naturally the whole audience laughed at this, but Gohan and Videl were this time not blushing at all. After all, they were married and had each and every right to do so...

Gohan went to the grill and helped himself to some more steaks and salad and potatoes and corn cobs and and and...

Videl joined him, for she was hungry again too. She was somewhat surprised that her appetite had increased already and this early, but after all, their child was half-Saiyan, and Saiyans were always hungry...

After they had finished polishing their dishes Videl decided to call Erasa. After all, her best friend should come to know the latest news...

She fetched her cell-phone from her shoulder-bag and dialled Erasas number.

After some seconds a female voice answered from the other end of the line.

"Hi! This is Erasa Carpenter speaking."

Videl smiled.

"Hi Erasa. It's me!" she said.

"Ooh Videl! You're back!" she exclaimed happily. "And? How was it? How was he?" she asked, indiscrete as she always was.

Videl could not help herself, she had to smile at her best friends directness.

"Yeah, I'm back. And everything was wonderful..." she answered, making clear what she meant.

"Ooookay. Got the point. Aaand... any other news?" she asked then.

"Actually yes. But I wanted to tell you tomorrow. How about we meet in the city at 2 p.m.? Angelos ice cream parlour?" Videl suggested.

"Oookay. Sounds good to me! But can't you tell me now?" she asked pleadingly.

"Nope, it's a surprise. And Erasa, bring your sister with you." Videl told her.

"Okay, I'll try. She is so busy with her boy friend lately, but I'll do my best." Erasa said.

"Your little sister has a boy friend? Wait, let me guess, it's not Barry by chance?" Videl asked.

"One hundred points for you. Yeah, she liked him very much when she saw him at your wedding and the wedding party, and the two had a nice talk and fell for each other. I am so glad for her. And Barry is totally cool! He's not at all the nerd we thought him to be. But Gohan wasn't either, eh, Videl?" Erasa joked.

"Oh no, he wasn't. You know, looks are deceiving..." she said.

"Oh yeah... well, if you don't wanna tell me now, then I'll have to wait till tomorrow." Erasa said.

"Yup, that you'll have to." Videl answered smiling.

"Aww come on, Videl," could be heard from the other end, "just a little hint..."

"No chance, Erasa, it's a surprise..."

"Ookay..." her best friend sighed in defeat, "but you're guilty of giving me another sleepless night. Hope you can live with the guilt..." Erasa joked.

"Well, I'll have to..." Videl countered jokingly. "Till tomorrow!"

"Yeah, bye!" Erasa said, and Videl ended the phone call.

Gohan looked at his wife

"And, did she suspect something?" he asked.

Videl smiled.

"I guess so. Well, come on, we are back from our honeymoon and do have a surprise. Well, what can it actually be, hmm?"

The half-Saiyan nodded.

"Guess you're right. Well, we'll see tomorrow if she suspects or not. Hun, could you hand me the cell phone? I wanna call Barry and tell him to meet us at Angelos." he said.

Videl smirked.

"Well, there is something you don't know, o husband of mine..."

"And that would be?" he asked.

Videls smirk broadened.

"Let's see if you can guess. It has something to do with your best man and with the sister of the maid of honour..."

Gohans eyes lit up.

"You wanna say that Barry and Alex are a couple?" he exclaimed.

Videl nodded.

"Yeah, Erasa told me. And apparently those two are a happy couple, too! Isn't it great?"

Gohan nodded.

"That's awesome! I wanted to train Barry after our honeymoon to improve his chances with the girls, but when I saw those two together at our wedding party I had the thought that they would be a good couple... and look how it worked out... that's cool!"

Videl leaned forward and gave him a kiss.

"You matchmaker, you..."

Gohan smirked.

"Well, actually we are matchmakers... I invited Barry as my best man and you Alex because of what she had to endure when she had babysitted Goten and Trunks. That was teamwork in perfection!" he exclaimed.

"What can I say? You're absolutely right..." Videl said and gave her husband another deep kiss.

After they broke the kiss Videl told Gohan that Erasa would bring Alex and Barry along, and, naturally her boyfriend Sharpener.

The next day would show how the others would react to Videls pregnancy...

The next morning...

Videl and Gohan, as well as the rest of the Z-Gang, had once again spend the night at the Briefs. The barbecue had lasted long into the night, and the pregnancy of Videl had been celebrated quite thoroughly.

But Gohan and Videl planned to invite their respective parents-in-law plus the Briefs to dinner once they had the time and the occasion to do so. They had agreed that they owed it to them...

Videl and Gohan woke up side by side, and it was as wonderful as it had been the first time. Yeah, waking up beside the person one loved more than anything else was simply... wonderful.

Gohan leaned towards his wife and surveyed her face, then he kisser her nose, her cheeks and her neck. Videl enjoyed this display of affection to the fullest and leant back into the pillows.

His lips met hers in a passionate kiss, and then he heard his telepathic voice inside of her head

Good morning, my sunshine!

She smiled while continuing to kiss him.

A good morning to you too, my charmer!

Videl could hear his mental chuckle, and she smiled.

I once told you that I am more than a charmer... he said telepathically and put his hands to work.

He stroked her cheeks, the sides of her body, her breasts, waking her body completely and rousing her soul. She wanted him inside of her, and that now, but at the same time she was concerned that it could harm the unborn child inside of her.

Gohan, as much as I would love to have sex with you right here and now, I think we should ask a doctor first if it could harm our baby. she thought.

That caused Gohan to stop dead in his tracks. He had wanted to undress her in this second, but what she had 'thought' made sense to him. He was well endowed, and he did not want to harm their child in any way. If that meant that he had to do without sex, well, it would be hard, but he would do without.

He kissed her belly and told her mentally

You're right, my love. And I've the perfect solution for this: we ask Bulma in private, she has a doctoral level in medicine. She should know.

Videl was surprised.

Wow, this woman is an all-purpose genius, hmm?

Gohans mouth was too preoccupied with kissing her belly button (which tickled Videl greatly) to answer verbally.

Yeah, she is. You would not believe how often she has patched us up after battle or even training! Yeah, she really is an all-purpose genius, and we can be thankfully for this!

Videl giggled, cause Gohan had still not stopped to kiss her belly button and stroked her belly softly once he had stopped. She loved it that he was so romantic...

Suddenly she had an idea...

"Hey Gohan," she said, and Gohan looked up from what he was doing right now, "how about Bulma oversees my pregnancy during the first few months? I guess she has the adequate equipment available. I can still go to my usual gynaecologist later. And I want you to accompany me then. No buts!" she ordered.

Gohan gulped but nodded nevertheless.

"I will do so. After all, it's our child that's growing inside of you. And I will do whatever I can to aid you." he said and gave her a fond kiss.

Videl smiled.

"Even accompany me to gestational callisthenics?" she asked mockingly.

Gohan made a stern face.

"Even this."

Now it Videl was surprised. He really meant what he had said!

"Wow, Gohan, you never cease to amaze me..." she said and kissed him fondly.

He stroked her hair while kissing her back.

I hope I never will...

Although they could not have sex right now they did not waste an opportunity to show each other how much love there really was between them (supposedly it would be enough for the whole world), and what followed was an intense snogging session...

But once Gohans Saiyan stomach piped up, they had to get up. Videl knew from experience now that a Saiyans stomach could not be distracted...

So they got up, dressed, styled themselves and went downstairs. As if on cue, Bulma was already sitting at the table and currently enjoyed a cup of coffee. Gohan could tell by the smell that was in the air.

"Morning, Bulma!" the young couple exclaimed in unison.

Bulma looked up and smiled.

"And a good morning to you two too!" she exclaimed "Slept well?"

Videl and Gohan nodded while they helped themselves to some baps, marmalade, eggs, ham and and and...

"Vegeta already training?" Gohan asked.

Bulma nodded.

"Yeah. He went into the GR with Trunks half an hour ago."

Gohan nodded.

Then he began stuffing his face, and Bulma knew from experience that the demi-Saiyan would not talk a single word until he had polished his dish. So she looked at Videl and talked to her

"And, how are you? Feeling the first effects already?" she asked with a knowing smile.

Videl gulped down what she had currently chewed before answering.

"Actually yes. My appetite has increased already, but you said that would happen when one is pregnant with a part-Saiyan." she said.

Bulma nodded.

"Oh yeah, I remember it all to well. And Videl..." she began and leant forward, "don't you worry that you will weight too much during the pregnancy, it is completely normal. Being pregnant with a part-Saiyan does this to a human woman..." she sighed.

Videl was curious.

"To a human woman? What do you mean by that?" she asked.

Bulma smiled.

"Well, my analysis of the Saiyan physiology indicates that Saiyan women would not get fat during a pregnancy. Sure, their belly would increase, but they did not accumulate as much weight as a human woman does. Their metabolism was much more efficient, and they had to be able to fight during their pregnancy." she explained.

Videl whistled.

"Wow, those are a lot of advantages. Why don't we wish to become Saiyans?" she joked.

Bulma became earnest.

"Well, actually I though about this." she said, and even Gohan, who was otherwise busy with stuffing his face looked up.

Videl and Gohan looked at her.

"Really?" they asked in unison.

Bulma nodded.

"Yeah, but I discarded it quickly, because it would be a selfish wish. The dragonballs should only be used for the welfare of Earth, and not to fulfil personal wishes and desires." she explained.

Gohan and Videl looked at each other and nodded. That sounded logical...

"You have a valid point there." Gohan said before he returned to stuff his face.

Videl smiled. Yeah, there was more to this genius than met the eye. Much more, apparently.

Hope Vegeta knows what he has in you, Bulma... she thought.

"Bulma, I've a question." she said then.

Bulma nodded.

"Ask me."

"Actually I wanted to know... well, you have a doctoral level in medicine. Gohan told me. And I wanted to know if you could survey my pregnancy during the first few months. I don't wanna go to my usual gynaecologist unless it's necessary. Once we can find out the sex of the baby I will do so, but before it will be more sufficient and much better if you could do that for me. Please?" she asked.

Bulma looked at her, obviously stirred by so much trust in her.

"S... sure I will. I would love to! And I have all the equipment we need in the Lab." she said and smiled sheepishly. "Well, being pregnant myself I wanted to know how my baby was doing, and as he was a half-Saiyan and no doctor would have overlooked the extra appendage in the rear..." she had to giggle at the mention of Trunks' tail, "... I chose to oversee my pregnancy myself. And I would love to do the same for you, Videl."

Now it was Videls turn to be stirred.

"Thank you, Bulma!" she exclaimed and hugged the older woman.

Gohan on the other hand smiled. When his wife was happy, his day was brighter too...

Bulma smiled.

"Good! Then it's settled. If you want, we can take a look at the little tyke that is developing within you in the next week. How about Tuesday?" she asked.

Videl nodded.

"Fine with me. And thank you, Bulma."

"You're welcome." the genius scientist said.

Now they would finish their breakfast, spend some time together, have lunch and then they would meet their friends in the city. Videl was so looking forward to tell them. But she had to find another chance to talk to Bulma. She had one very special and very private question...

REVIEWERS RESPONSES:



Candy the Duck: noted, heh... We know the sex of the baby, though, but those two don't. And I tend to keep them in suspense for some time...               



Elincia Nightengale: everybody has lazy days, that tends to happen... Don't worry, I don't intend to end it so soon. It might start slowly at first, but Gohan is in for some rough months...          



Tootsy: That's good to hear. A girl it is... Well, congrats! Any ideas for the name yet? I cross my fingers that everything goes well furthermore!

ss7gohan: thanks! Will do so!       



Marshmellow13Dragon: good to hear (or rather read). But I noticed that in my other story already... Happy birthday belated! Got hyper on cake, eh? I know that all too well, the good old sugar rush... you know what? You gave me an inspiration! Maybe I'll let the chibis go hyper because of too much sugar. Would be funny...
And I intend to give Gohan the full bout, though. Poor Gohan, yeah, poor Hercule, no way! But you're right, they're in for some torture...               



makaialexa: That they are for sure! And congrats to your choice in a boyfriend then, I got as much luck in the choice of my former girlfriend / now wife. As for the names, they are not completely obsolete and will play a role... And you can count on it that Gohan and Hercule are in for torture during the pregnancy...
