Trunks and Goten found the perfect spot just outside of West City to place his mother's home. It was a relatively short distance from both of their jobs, as well as Capsule Corp.. The half-Saiyan looked at the capsule, hoping Jean and his mother would love the present he was giving them. "You really think this is a good spot?"

"Sure it is!" Trunks nodded. "It's close to their work, your brother's house, and even my house. I don't think we could get a better place, Goten."

"You're right." The younger half-Saiyan clicked the top of the capsule, tossing it in front of them. A bright metal building popped out of the pod, surprising both boys at how it looked.

"This doesn't look like your average house?" Trunks admitted. "Maybe we should've just asked my Mom for a Capsule Home."

"It's a little too late for that Trunks!" Goten yelled, seeing Jean's car driving up to the building. "They're already here!"

Chi-Chi and Jean pull up to the building, staying in the car for a few moments. This only added to the half-Saiyan's anxiety.

"Goten?" Chi-Chi looked at the building in shock. "What on Earth is this? When did you acquire a metal building?"

The two boys stood there quietly, looking towards each other.

"Is this why you had us come all the way out here?"

The Mother stood in front of a metal building that looked to be over 3,000 square feet with Jean next to her. The metal had been painted a green/teal color, while there were window sills painted a light blue. The white roof was sprinkled with Solar Panels. It almost looked like the place had been transformed into a home. The look was something Jean fell in love with from the moment she laid eyes on it.

The half-Saiyan was a little surprised at the reactions of his mother and partner. Goten thought they would be excited about the new home, but they seemed more worried than anything. "Well, Trunks wanted to look for the Dragon Balls…"

Chi-Chi's eyes widened. "You asked Shenron to build you a building?"

"Kinda?." Goten shrugged. "I know the place Jean and you live isn't the biggest. I wanted all of our family to be able to visit. I asked Shenron to build a home for you and Jean. When Trunks and I opened the capsule, we were almost as surprised as you were."

Jean looks at her partner, confused at their conversation. "Dragon Balls?"

"I'll explain it later, sweetie." Chi-Chi mentions with a bright smile. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes. Her youngest son has given her the greatest gift a mother could ask for. "So, shall we take a look inside?"

"Let's go!"

Jean, Chi-Chi, and Goten all run to the front doors. The half-Saiyan gives his mother the key, allowing her to open it. Inside the building was an open living space that gave way to an enormous kitchen. Large windows from behind the sink allowed natural light to peer through.

Looking around, Chi-Chi noticed two doors on the left and right in the living area. Moving towards one, she opens it to find a rather large bedroom with its own bathroom. The Mother quickly walked to the adjacent wall, seeing another large bedroom. Chi-Chi could feel tears coming to her eyes as her heart was filled with joy.

Following the wall on the left, she was met with a second door on the inner wall. As she opened it, her heart nearly burst. In this space was a large washer and dryer, along with enough space to fold, organize, and hang clothes with no trouble. Taking a good look around the room, the Mother noticed the laundry room was already fully stocked with supplies. Shenron really outdid himself. This is the best wish he's ever granted!

After Chi-Chi exited the laundry room, she continued on her tour. Her eyes gazed towards the back, seeing how large the kitchen was. As she walked back, her excitement peaked as she saw the chrome appliances and marble countertops "This Kitchen is amazing!" Chi-Chi exclaimed happily. "It's almost as big as the one from my first home!"

Jean looks at her partner skeptically. "Why on Earth would you need a kitchen so big? Were you feeding twenty people daily?"

"Sometimes it felt like it." Chi-Chi laughed. "You've seen how Gohan and Goten eat. Their father was twice, if not three times as bad. I've gotten better at my portion sizes over the years, but I know when it's just you and I at home, it seems none of the food gets eaten! It actually stays in the fridge for a period of time."

Her partner's eyes widened. "I can't imagine washing all of those dishes! You must be a miracle worker."

"Something like that." Chi-Chi giggled before she hugged Jean. "We have a place we can call home now."

Jean embraced Chi-Chi as she beamed, still unable to believe this was happening. It almost felt like a dream. Once the two pull away from each other, the professor looks at the half-Saiyan. "Goten, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to repay the kindness you've shown us. Seeing how happy this home makes your mother is something I never thought I could achieve. You are an extraordinary young man." Jean embraced Goten, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.

Goten smiled as he hugged Jean back. "I'm glad you guys like it! Maybe now that the house is big enough my baby brother or sister can visit!"

Chi-Chi's brow raised, unsure of what her youngest was talking about. "What do you mean Goten? Mommy doesn't plan on having anymore kids."

The half-Saiyan's eyes widened as though he'd said too much. Goten slowly backed away from his mother, watching her face change to one of frustration. "Uh…" Sighing, unable to think of a lie to backtrack himself out of this one, Goten decides to tell the truth. "I overheard Ellery talking to Bulma. Dad and her are trying to have a baby together."

"THEY'RE WHAT?"

Jean watched her partner react to the news, seeing it affect her more than she would've liked. Chi-Chi quickly took a seat at the dining room table, beginning to hyperventilate. Jean rushed to her side, massaging her shoulders soothingly as she thought of the right words to say. "Are you feeling alright? You're looking a little pale.."

"I just… Can't believe it.." The mother stated, all happy tones drained from her voice.

"They're been together for some time now, Chi." Jean whispered. "It's natural if things stray down that path for couples. Although I'd think your husband is a little old to be having children."

"Oh that's not a problem." Goten piped in. "My dad's a Saiyan. They live a lot longer than Humans do anyway."

Now it was Jean's turn to be surprised. "Why is it I'm just now learning your ex-husband wasn't human?"

Goten could tell he definitely said too much at this point. Without another word, the half-Saiyan quickly escapes the room. He took a hold of Trunks hand and ran to pick out a bedroom for himself.

"I didn't think it was important information." Chi-Chi shrugged it off. "I've told you everything you need to know about him."

"We've barely spoken ten words about the guy!" Jean accused. "Unless you want to count all of the complaining you did in the beginning of our relationship."

"You're saying that talking about my abusive relationship with my ex husband is complaining?"

Jean could tell Chi-Chi was beginning to get defensive. Knowing it was nearly impossible to talk to her in this state, the professor takes a deep breath. "All I'm saying is it's natural to have these kinds of tough conversations. If you only talk about the bad things, it's really hard to appreciate the good that came out of the relationship. You have two wonderful kids and a granddaughter that fills your life with joy. You couldn't have achieved that without the help of your ex."

"What are you trying to say, Jean?" The mother's eyes squinted as her arms crossed.

"I'm saying, until your son told you about this, when was the last time you thought of Goku?"

Chi-Chi thought for some time. In the last year or so, she'd noticed her focus had shifted from mourning the loss of her family to creating a new one with Jean. Since she was already good friends with her oldest, the transition was almost seamless. Until Goten mentioned his father, the older woman couldn't remember the last time she thought of him.

"You know, I honestly can't remember." Chi-Chi sighed, uncrossing her arms as she looked at her partner.

"I guess I don't understand why this took such a toll on you. You've been the happiest you've ever been, and because someone from your life is changing, you're trying to put your happiness on hold? Because of an ex-husband? I want to understand why this hurts so much."

"I'm sorry about my attitude." The mother could feel tears in her eyes. "I guess I should start from the beginning."

"That'd be helpful." Jean takes Chi-Chi's hands in hers.

"Goku and I met when we were practically teenagers." Chi-Chi began, her eyes looking years behind her. "He saved me when my father's home was burning down. At first, I just thought he was some country bumpkin. Hell, he didn't know I was a girl!" The mother chuckled. "Fast forward a few years later, and Goku ends up saving me once again! This time, he'd changed somehow. His strength had nearly quadrupled since the last time I saw him and I just fell head over heels."

"I remember telling him I was going to become his bride someday. He agreed instantly, not knowing what it meant."

"What did he think marriage was?"

"Some kind of food." Chi-Chi laughed. "The man was obsessed with eating, and had quite the appetite to match. We parted ways again. Five years later we met at a martial arts tournament. I never forgot about his promise, while he completely forgot who I was until I mentioned my name. Reminding Goku of the agreement we made five years ago, he asked me to marry him."

"And the two of you were together for thirty-five years?"

"Yeah? Why?"

Jean was trying her best not to laugh. "It's amazing the two of you lasted thirty-five days, let alone years."


"Ouch Vegeta!" Goku rubbed the back of his head as he pulled himself out of the rockwall. Looking behind him, the warrior saw a perfect impression of his body on the rock that he crashed into. "You know, I didn't think you'd be this far ahead of me with your training. Boy was I wrong!"

"You're not trying Kakarot because you're distracted. Even the boost in power from getting your tail back hasn't helped." Vegeta scoffed at his sparring partner. The Prince was surprised to see his fellow Saiyan appear to train again. From the moment Goku stepped foot on the planet, he's had a gray cloud chasing him around.

"You've been here for over a week moping, but won't say a word about what's got you so down. So spit it out!"

Goku found a large rock, taking a seat on it as he thought about telling Vegeta his problem. "I'd feel better if we just sparred, if I'm being honest."

"And I'll be honest, Kakarot. Your 'sparring', if you can even call it that, has been mediocre at best." The Prince crossed his arms as he looked at Goku. "Something's not letting you train to your best ability, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it!"

Goku sighed, looking towards the sky, unable to look Vegeta in the eye. "If I tell you, can you promise not to say anything?"

Vegeta raised a brow. "Keeping secrets from your mate can only end badly, Kakarot."

The warrior took a deep breath. "It's not me keeping secrets from her. She wanted to keep this a secret from everyone else." Goku paused once again, looking up at his sparring partner. Vegeta was probably one of the few people that could actually help. Being Ellery's older brother, it made Goku nervous talking to him about this subject.

"Ellery and I have been trying to conceive a child. She didn't want our friends to know until it happened. This way we could keep it a surprise. But after two years of waiting and failed attempts, I'm kind of at a loss. I know how devastated she is every time she takes one of those damned tests. Sometimes, I can't help but feel like I'm the cause of it all. I had my first two kids without trying or knowing what I did."

"I was barely there to help raise Gohan. Chi-Chi did most of the work. Hell, Goten was eight years old before I saw him for the first time. I'm beginning to think the Universe is trying to tell me I shouldn't have another kid. I don't know what I'm doing wrong."

Vegeta was at a loss for words. He'd never seen the warrior so distraught before. "I doubt the Universe has a hand in your sex life." The Prince scoffed, attempting to get Goku to laugh. However, the look on the Saiyan's face didn't change.

"Look Kakarot, I don't really want to have this conversation with you. But since your mate happens to be my sister, I feel obligated to help you out."

"Help me out?"

Vegeta pinched the bridge of his nose. He already felt uncomfortable about what he was going to talk about. The Prince didn't want to have to explain every step to this oblivious Saiyan. "Humans and Saiyans are a little different when it comes to their sexual endeavors. I'm sure you noticed that before the two of you mated. Did the way you did things change in the last two years?"

"Well, now that you mention it." Goku rubbed the back of his head. "We've been doing things the way Chi-Chi and I did. I knew it worked the first two times, I figured it'd work a third!"

Vegeta walked closer to the warrior. He clenched his fist and hit Goku as hard as he could on the back of the head. "You idiot!"

"Damnit Vegeta!" Goku yelled as he rubbed the bump that immediately began to appear. "Was that necessary?"

"Of course it was! The Universe gave you a brain for a reason! I'm hoping to fucking turn it on if I rattle it hard enough."

"That was a little harsh." The warrior nearly pouted.

The Prince rolled his eyes, crossing his arms in the process. "I guess I shouldn't blame you. I thought you'd figure it out yourself, since the two of you seemed to be getting along very well before this."

"So there is something I'm doing wrong?"

"Like I was trying to say, Humans and Saiyan's are very different, as are their taste's in the bedroom." Vegeta began, taking a seat on the ground. His arms were still tightly crossed around his chest. "How were things before the two of you tried to conceive?"

"They were amazing." Goku mused. "Every time was just as exciting and thrilling as our first time together. There was even one time she surprised me and overpowered me…" The warrior could feel his blood beginning to rush. "That was a magical night."

Vegeta couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of his sister being stronger than his rival. "That is something crucial to a Saiyan relationship. Testing each other's limits is something you need to do to keep the magic alive. Now is the time to explore your physical relationship all over again. You are able to hear her thoughts, Kakarot. Use that to your advantage."

"I think you know what to do.. You just need to stop letting your nerves get in the way of your Saiyan instincts." Vegeta looked up towards his sparring partner. "Just relax, take her feelings into consideration, and allow your instincts to guide you instead of that damned brain of yours. Allow her into your mind as well, Kakarot. Perhaps she's not fulfilling a hidden desire of yours. She can't know about it unless it's communicated."

"You're usually right when I come to you for advice, Vegeta. I guess I should actually take it this time." Goku said with a laugh. The warrior's cheeks were a bright red, thinking of his mate back on Earth.

"Are you boys done with your little pow wow?" Whis asked.

The two Saiyan's jumped, forgetting they were in the middle of training. "Sorry, Whis." They both say in unison.

"Well, I guess I should give you a pass, since it's Friday after all." The Deity said with a chuckle.

"Wow! I can't believe I've been here for a week already." Goku mentioned as the gears began to turn in his mind. Wasn't there something I was supposed to do this Friday?

"OH CRAP!" the Saiyan warrior yelled. "Whis, I gotta go! Thank you so much for training me this week." Goku bowed before quickly placing two fingers to his forehead.

Vegeta and Whis look at each other in surprise.

"Do you have any idea what that was about?" The Deity asked.

"Not a clue." Vegeta shook his head, standing to continue his training.
