Chapter 18 Gohan's Understanding

"Trunks, this is totally not cool!" Goten wined to his older brother. They were both walking towards the twins' room. All four babies had been put into one big room. It had been almost nine months since they were born and they loved to scream. Trunks looked after Pan and Vegeta while Goten watched Bura and Barrinko. Bulma, Vegeta, Videl and Gohan had all gone away to spend a weekend in the Room of Spirit and Time. The women had wanted to train more and took their mates to help. They had waited until they thought eight year old Goten and nine year old Trunks could handle 'The Handful' as the four were called.

"I know Goten, but dad said that we could go in with Piccolo for two days for watching them. It's so worth it. Besides, you have the quieter of the four while I have the terrors. They need to rename Pan and Vegeta 'The Terrible Two' instead of us!"

"Nah, I think 'Handful' fits them because all together, they're a handful. When Pan cries, Vegeta does, then when I help you Bura cries cause she's jealous then Barrinko cries cause Panny is. If my mom and dad were here, they would help us."

"Yea, Chichi would help, just like grandmom Bunny does. But she's sleeping right now. I know! The dragon balls! We'll wish them back!"

"Yea Trunks! Good idea! And we'll wish for my dad to have his tail back too and my mom to be a full saiyan too, like the rest of us!"

"Yea! You stay here, I'll get the balls. I know where my dad keeps them." Trunks ran to his parents room and moved a section of the wall. In a small space, his father had hid the balls as well as his crown from his home planet and a bunch of Vegeta-sei books. He grabbed the balls, replaced the wall, and ran to the backyard. After depositing the balls, Trunks ran back in and helped Goten bring the babies out so the wouldn't get in trouble for not watching them.

"Arise dragon! Grant me my wishes!" Goten shouted like Gohan had.

"What is your wish?"

"I wish for my father, Son Goku, to be brought back to life and have his tail back."

"It shall be done." The dragon's eyes glowed red as Goku appeared before the boys.

"Daddy!" Goten shouted hugging his father's legs. "You'll have to help us catch the balls when they separate."

"Alright." He said, scratching his head in Son fashion.

"What is your second wish?"

"I wish for Son Chichi to be brought back to life as a full-blooded saiyan capable of the first level of ascension." Chichi appeared like Goku had, sporting a new brown tail.

"Farewell." The dragon said, the balls trying to separate, the boys each catching two, and Goku getting three.

"Boys, why are we here?" Goku asked.

"We need your help."

"With what Trunks?"

"Them." Goten pointed at the screaming babies. The Two had bloodshot eyes and looked pale from lack of sleep and food. They had only been babysitting for two days and still had the third to go. "We can't do this alone anymore."

"Grandmom's been helping us too, but only when she's up and home. And she goes away with grandpa in a couple hours. Mom, dad, Gohan and Videl won't be back until tomorrow morning."

"Let us help you boys. Go to bed, we'll keep and eye on these four. Inside, march." Chichi ordered picking up Barrinko. Goku grabbed Vegeta, Trunks got Pan and Goten had Bura. The Two put the girls down and went to bed as Goku and Chichi entertained the babies.

At three in the afternoon, the Two woke from a blissful sleep. They had slept better then they had ever slept in their lives. Even better then after a spar with Vegeta or Gohan or both. Then they remembered the babies. They tore down the hall to the nursery. When they entered, they found each baby sleeping happily.

"Boys! Come eat some lunch. Your eyes aren't red anymore, but you still look pretty pale. Come on, Chichi's cooking!" Goku came up behind the boys and encouraged them to the kitchen when the came out. They happily turned and followed the older male down the hall to the kitchen to eat a feast made for a small army.

Just as the two boys finished the door opened to reveal Gohan, Videl, Vegeta and Bulma. They had come home early to take the babies off the boys hands. "What is this?" Gohan asked, his deep voice rumbling from his chest, making his little brothers sink low in their chairs.

"We were having trouble brother."

"So we wished mother and father back to life to help us." Goten finished for Trunks. "Are you angry?"

"No boys." Bulma answered. "We're sorry we left you with the Handful. Guess the were too much for you."

"These two had bloodshot eyes and were pale as ghosts!" Goku said.

"Well then, you will have to rest up before you go innext weekend with Piccolo." Gohan said, his eyes avoiding his parents.

"We are rested up Gohan! Come on Goten, let's go spar!" Trunks started running to the gravity room, Goten hot on his tail.
