Gohan and Videl: A sweet surprise

Chapter 13: The private question

Last time...

Once they were finished eating their ice cream Gohan and Videl paid and spent another hour shopping, as it was first one o'clock. That meant they had nearly one hour left until they would meet Bulma at the Briefs, and thus Gohan was dragged along into the shops, much to his displeasure.

But Gohan, being as smart as he is found a way out of his dilemma by pointing out that it would do so good to catch some of the warm suns rays, and Videl was instantly crazy of that idea.

This way Gohan had only had to spend twenty minutes in shops, and that was a good thing in his opinion...

The young newlyweds spend the rest of their time laying in the sun side by side, enjoying the beautiful nature and each other, as they used this time for some time to themselves...

Now the continuation...

Gohan sat up to look at his watch. Yeah, it was time they got moving; otherwise they would be too late for the Briefs.

And Vegeta, who was awaiting him for training hated nothing more than to be kept waiting. But honestly, every Saiyan (or warrior, for that matter) hated to be kept waiting. Nothing was more stressing for a warrior than be kept waiting...

So Gohan leant over towards his wife who was still enjoying the warm sunrays, smiled to himself that she looked so happy and beautiful and gave his wife a fond kiss onto her soft and silk lips.

She opened her beautiful azure blue eyes and smiled at him.
"Sweetheart, it was a wonderful idea to enjoy some time for ourselves. It's so peaceful here." she said.

Gohan nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, it is. And I am very glad that they did not name this park after me!" he joked.

Videl smirked mischievously.
"Although 'Son Gohan memorial park' does not sound so bad..." she said.

Gohan made a gesture as if praying to Kami and rolled his eyes in mock-earnest.
"Kami safe me from people who would want to name a park after me! But you're right though, it would sound better than 'Hercule Satan memorial park'..." he said smirking. "But look at this statue of your father over there..." he said and pointed towards a life-size bronze statue of Hercule, "I would not want one of those for me. To be honest, I would not want anything of the fame and attention your father got, it would just be too much and get into my way. A true warrior must focus, and those would only be distractions. No, it's good the way it is. After all, I got the best reward for saving the world from Cell: you..." he finished and embraced his wife in a loving hug and kissing her fondly.

Videl nearly cried because of all the happiness she felt. Here she was, in a beautiful park with the most beautiful and romantic man she could have wished for, and she was pregnant from this man! Life was wonderful...

If only Bulma would give her the answer she wanted to hear... she wanted Gohan and that just as much as he wanted her.

But Videl knew that Gohan would never risk the well-being of their child, so she had to make sure and would do that in... she checked her watch. Ten minutes!

She looked at Gohan.
"We gotta get going or we'll be too late!" she exclaimed.

Now Gohan rechecked his watch too. Darn it! She was right! They had spent nearly too much time here. Gohan nodded, and together they took off towards West City and the Briefs residence.

They arrived there exactly ten minutes later, and as Gohan ringed the door bell Bulma promptly opened.
"Ah, there are you two! Punctual like the bricklayers. Gohan," she said, looking at him, "Vegeta is already waiting for you. He said he can't wait to have the chance to beat you. He is currently in the kitchen beefing him up. Come in."

Gohan and Videl did just that and followed Bulma into the kitchen, where the Saiyan prince was indeed sitting, consuming a large meal.
"Ahh, Kakkarot's first brat." the Saiyan prince said, looking up from his table, "Ready to lose?" he asked smirking.

Gohan smirked back.
"Only in your dreams, Vegeta." he retorted.

Vegeta growled. He knew that the brat was right, for when he used his mystical powers Gohan outmatched the Saiyan prince greatly. But Vegeta would become stronger. He had to!
"We will see about that, brat." he said then.

Gohan smirked.
"Any time, Vegeta."

Bulma then glared at the two Saiyans.
"Now you two, get the hell out of here! This is a private discussion, and none of you is allowed. And don't even try eavesdropping, or your sensitive Saiyan ears will find out what my newest invention can do. And yes, I will activate it during our talk. If you come nearer than 100 metres you will suffer the consequences. You have been warned!"

Gohan gulped and nodded. He knew how unwise it was to challenge two women who wanted to have their private talk. And it was even more unwise to act against the warning of their times head scientist...

But Vegeta did not back down this easily and glared at Bulma. After all, he was no one to give up easily.
"You are blackmailing the prince of all Saiyans, onna!" he exclaimed.

Bulma just stood her ground.
"Don't you onna me!" she stated.

Vegeta knew that threats against the GR or his bed privileges were sure to follow now. But he had worked on becoming indifferent to those threats over the years, and regarded himself to be a master at it now.

So he just smirked smugly, as he was sure that the special training he had put himself trough was about to pay off.

Bulma continued.
"If you don't follow what I told you, Vegeta, you'll regret it! You won't get any food..." she said and paused for effect, "for two weeks!! Or you'll have to cook your own by yourself!!!" she exclaimed then.

Vegeta opened his mouth with his prepared reply and choked. Had he heard right?? No food... for two weeks??! Cooking by himself???! He would be starved to death after three hours without food! And he had no money to buy food either...

Grr, the onna was evil, absolute and total evil. And once more Vegeta, the mighty Prince of all Saiyans, knew that he had found his superior...

Giving Bulma a final glare, Vegeta muttered
"FINE! Have it your way!" and stomped out of the room to train with Gohan.

Bulma looked at the younger woman and smiled smugly.
"Now to the question you wanted to ask." she said nicely. "Oh, before I forget..." she said and pushed a button on a remote.

Videl looked at her curiously.
"What have you activated, Bulma?"

Bulma smirked maliciously.
"Oh, just a device that produces a supersonic sound that hurts a Saiyans sensitive ears very much. Even if they (or rather Gohan) wanted to eavesdrop, they could not, for it would hurt them to much. But now to your question."

Videl blushed slightly, and the two women sat down.
"Umm, I don't know how to say this, Bulma..."

Bulma smiled at her reassuringly. As she had said, she had a pretty good guess what the younger woman wanted to ask her.
"Just ask. And don't you worry; I won't be shocked at the question. Heck, I don't even think I still can be shocked, being married to Vegeta." she joked.

Videl felt relieved and smiled at the older woman.
"Thanks, Bulma. What I wanted to know: is it, umm, safe for Gohan and me to have sex during my pregnancy? Umm, I mean, Gohan is very well endowed, and we feared that we might hurt the baby accidentally." she finished and blushed a deep shade of red and had the feeling, as if her head would explode any time soon.

Bulma just nodded and overlooked the younger woman's embarrassment.
"You're right, Videl. Saiyans are very well endowed, to our luck, I must say," she said smiling, "but I can assure you that it is perfectly safe for you two to have sex with each other. I've run examinations, as both Chi-Chi and I have been pregnant two times, and there is absolutely nothing to worry about. By the way, it is still a common belief that sex during a pregnancy could harm the child, but that is nonsense. Luckily." she explained.

Videl blushed, but looked relieved at the same time.
"Thank you, Bulma. I don't wanna look like a sex-crazed teen, but sex with Gohan is something out of this world. It's so much more than I have ever dreamed off, and the feeling when we do it is indescribable." she said with a dreamy look on her face.

Then she realised what she had said, and blushed furiously.
"Sorry, Bulma, that was a little too private..."

But Bulma just smiled.
"Don't worry, Videl, you wouldn't believe what Chi-Chi and I talk about usually. I suppose even the old hentai Master Roshi would blush and have nose bleeding for a whole week." she said giggling.

Videl fell in.
"That's the dirty old man with the sun-glasses, right?" she asked, and Bulma nodded. "I've not been introduced to him yet, but if only half of what I've heard about him is true I'm not sure I would want to have that doubtful honour."

Bulma nodded vigorously.
"The stories you have probably heard about him are all true. He's a crazed old pervert, and you would not believe the stories I could tell you about him. That he reads dirty old mags and snatches ladies underwear everywhere he can is only the tip of the iceberg..."

Videl shuddered.
"And Gohans father was actually trained by him? The pure, innocent Goku? Hard to believe!" she exclaimed.

Bulma nodded again.
"You would not believe just how many times I had to restrain Vegeta from blasting him to the next dimension. On one occasion he tried to video-tape me under the shower during a holiday we spent with the gang, and you can be sure Vegeta would have killed him. He was so enraged that he had transformed into a Super Saiyan. But with the combined help of the others, most of all Gohan and Goku I was able to stop him."

This time it was Videls turn to nod. She could fully understand Vegeta...
"I never thought that I would agree with Vegeta, but I don't think anybody would not in a situation like this. I think I would have a hard time in stopping Gohan from blasting Master Roshi if he ever tried something like this..."

Bulma giggled.
"It would be a funny sight to see Master Roshi being hunted down by the son of the man he trained. Apropos Goku, would you believe that he thought that 'marriage' is something to eat?"

Videl looked at Bulma dumbfounded. Did she want to fool her?
"Are you serious?" she asked cautiously.

Bulmas giggles had meanwhile turned into a full bout of laughter.
"He laugh thought that giggle marriage was chuckle something to eat guffaw when laugh he promised chuckle to marry fits of laughter her." she said troublesome and indulged again in fits of laughter.

Videl could not help it, she had to laugh too. Gohans father was so cute sometimes, and so naïve! He was just too good for this world, and now Videl knew from whom Gohan had inherited this kindness.
"This is chuckle so typically laugh for a guffaw male Son! They are so naïve!" she exclaimed, and that send the two women in another fit of laughter.

After they had recovered Bulma nodded.
"Yes, you're right, Videl. Goku has always been this way, and Gohan's a chip off the old block. But that's a good thing. They even managed to turn Vegeta into a protector of Earth. Okay, I had a big saying and part in this too, but they showed him that it is better to fight for the good then bath in chaos and destruction. I think Vegeta grabbed this fully for the first time when our son Trunks was born. For the first time in his life he had created something, and when he looked at his son in wonder I knew he loved him. Although he is very good at hiding it and would never admit it. Every time I look at Vegeta I know despite his hard shell that he loves me, and I thank Kami every day for this love. Sure, we have our quarrels like the one you witnessed, but that is necessary to maintain the leash on him. After all, he is a Saiyan. And a Saiyan prince nevertheless..." she said.

Videl nodded.
"I thank Kami every day too. For that Gohan went to the same highschool as I, for that I found out that he is the Great Saiyaman and I talked him into participating in the World Tournament, for that he there displayed his feelings towards me, for that we had a heart-to-heart-talk after this whole Majin Buu incident and most of all for that he exists and that I have the luck that he loves me. And for that I am carrying his baby." she said, full of happiness.

Bulma smiled. She understood the younger woman perfectly.
"We sure can call ourselves lucky, so much is for sure. I am glad that fate send me this fierce Saiyan warrior, and I don't regret one second of the time I spent with him. Each morning I awake by his side I feel content. And each time I see the warm glow in his eyes when he looks at me in private makes me still shiver to the bone. I love Vegeta and will always love him."

Videl nodded.
"I have the same feeling with Gohan. Every time he smiles at me I feel better, and each morning we wake up side by side is a perfect morning. He is so gentle and caring, he even started to massage me although I am only a few days pregnant. You can't believe how much the thought hurt that I would never see him again once I thought that Majin Buu had absorbed him for good. This was the worst feeling of my life."

Now Bulma looked sad.
"You bet I would understand you. Most of the others don't know, but Vegeta showed me how to sense other persons KI. So I knew when he sacrificed himself in the fight against Majin Buu that he was dead. I understand you exactly. I only hope that the day once we can't wish everyone back will never arrive. I don't know what I would do if Vegeta, Trunks or Bra were gone for good. No idea how the rest of humanity pulls through that, I don't know if I would survive those personal losses. But luckily this is not the case." she exclaimed cheerfully as if to overcome the sadness of their last sentences.

Videl smiled.
"Yeah, the dragonballs. I would never have thought that something like that existed, but through hanging out with the gang I learned that everything is possible. And I must admit that I am quite glad that my baby will be strong. Maybe strong enough to become the next generation of Earth' defenders..." she mused.

Bulma nodded thoughtfully.
"That is very well possible, Videl. As Saiyan genes are dominant your kid has a very good chance to become a very good and strong fighter. I was filled with joy too once I had noticed that I was pregnant from Vegeta." she said.

Videl smiled.
"I can imagine. I myself was shocked at first, but then the joy washed away all the sorrows. Although I am a bit worried of what awaits me, but you and Chi-Chi are a great help for me."

Bulma smiled.
"Apropos Chi-Chi, as far as I know she dragged Goku to teleport with her into the city to select baby-clothes and baby carriages and all the other things that will be needed. Poor Goku!" she exclaimed with a look of fake-pity. When it came to shopping, women were merciless...

But then Bulma turned serious once again.
"But be warned, Videl, carrying out a part-Saiyan is much more stressing for you and your environment than a pregnancy with a full-human baby. I don't know why, but part-Saiyan offsprings cause human females to undergo severe mood-swings. They start in most cases during the first three to four months until they (hopefully) abate from this time on. The morning sickness can also begin any time now, and if it abates is open to guesses. In my case I suffered from it for eight whole months, while Chi-Chi was luckier. She had 'only' to suffer for five months. But luckily carrying out a Saiyan offspring means obviously that human females 'only' suffer from morning sickness, nauseating is seldom. And that is really good!" she explained.

Videl nodded vigorously. She could not agree more!
"Cool! Thanks for all the information, Bulma. Now I'll think of a romantic approach to surprise Gohan. He has no idea what this question was, and he will be surprised as hell!" she exclaimed with gleaming eyes.

Bulma was all smiles, while thinking
Gohan, Gohan, you don't know what you're up against...

"I can imagine..." she said.

Videl blushed somewhat.
"I really liked the talk with you, Bulma. Next time we invite Chi-Chi, so we could make it a weekly thing. I really like to get as much information about this pregnancy, and you two with all your experience are a great help. How about we meet next week at my old home? I'll send Gohan and my father away. Chi-Chi will surely be all for it!"

Bulma nodded.
"That sounds good. We really could make it a weekly talking round. Supposedly Vegeta will once again slander that we are a bunch of chattering hens, but I have my ways of dealing with him. And apropos Chi-Chi... has she given you a frying pan yet?" she asked with a smirk.

Videl looked puzzled.
"No, Bulma. I was too busy lately to talk to her. Why?" she asked.

Bulma's eyes only gleamed maliciously.
"You should talk to her as soon as possible. Ask her about frying pans and Saiyans, and see what happens..." the blue-haired woman said mysteriously.

Videl nodded, and the two women spent some more time chattering while the Saiyans trained.

All in all, it had been the perfect day until now. Videl would see to it that the night would be as perfect... ...

to be continued...

== Well, hope you liked it! Next time: Videl is experiencing her first real food cravings and stuff, and a certain demi-Saiyan has to suffer... ==

Thanks for reading! And please review!

Note: I have to drop back to once a week (expect an update next Saturday), seeing as I don't have much time to write (means I have to learn for exam, :( and will be buried in the library. I try to keep the pace with the tournament, however! Sry!

And as always a very special thanks to my beta, who is doing a great job! Thx!
