This conversation will probably best be done in person. I haven't seen their new place yet! Trunks told me it's a nice looking home. Instead of directing herself to Capsule Corp. Bulma took a detour to Jean and Chi-Chi's new home. Not far from the Harmony Center, There was a metal building that had been converted into a wonderful looking home. Flower gardens were around the entire perimeter. As the bluenette got closer, she noticed a nice vegetable garden on the side of the home, along with a pond towards the back.

Bulma walked towards the door quickly, knocking on the door.

"Come in?" Said an unsure voice from the other side.

Bulma opened the door, waving happily at the trio in the living room. "Hey guys!"

"Bulma!" Chi-Chi said with wide eyes. "Goodness, it's been ages! Please come sit down." The woman rose from her seat with a bright smile, giving her friend a hug. "Would you like something to drink? I can even cook up something if you're hungry."

"No need, Chi. I really appreciate it." The bluenette smiled at her friend. "I just came by to invite you guys to a little get-together I'm having tomorrow."

"One of Bulma's famous parties?" Chi-Chi beamed as she looked at her partner. "She throws the best parties!"

"Oh I've heard." Jean mentioned with a chuckle. "Capsule Corp has been known to throw down for their employees. My friends and colleagues would mention how wild the parties would get, not to mention all the food!"

"We always have enough to feed an army! Especially when we have Saiyan's and other Deities as guests." Bulma laughed happily. "Since it's Father's day, I figured the only way to get Vegeta to come to Earth would be to throw a party with a bunch of food. He can't train if his teachers are here enjoying the feast!"

"You are a genius." Chi-Chi said with a laugh. "Did you invite the whole gang?"

"Of course I did." Bulma mentioned as she followed Chi-Chi and took a seat in the chair across from the couch. "They all agreed to meet again. Dinner starts at six sharp, but as always there's fun before dinner starts."

"I assume Goku will be coming with Lord Beerus and Vegeta." The woman laughed a little, knowing how much her ex-husband loved to train.

"He'll be there. He's actually the one that asked me to invite you." The bluenette beamed at her old friend. "He said it wouldn't be a Bulma party without Chi-Chi!"

"Really?"

Jean smiled excitedly, placing her hand on her partner's thigh. "I think it's wonderful he wants the whole gang together! It'd be nice to sit down with him and Ellery." Everyone could feel the tension in the room beginning to rise. Jean sighed and looked at Chi-Chi. "If he's making an effort to be friendly, I say you do the same. Don't you agree?"

"I guess you're right." Chi-Chi said with a smile. "I even planned on going to The Harmony Center sometime next week with Pan and Jean. Over these last two years, I didn't realize how much hell I was putting my family through by continuing to live in the past."

"I'm so glad to hear that." Bulma was smiling from ear to ear. Maybe this next bit of news won't hurt as bad as I think…. "Chi, there was something Goku wanted me to tell you."

"What is it?" The woman asked curiously.

"They don't want Goten to know until tomorrow, but he's going to be a big brother. Goku wanted me to tell you before the party, so you didn't find out in front of the whole gang."

Chi-Chi and Jean's features both showed the same look of shock.

"Well… I guess that's nice of him.." Chi-Chi said quietly, looking down at her hands. "Kind of wish he would've told me himself."

"I wanted to take that away from him." Bulma said with an airy laugh. "I wanted to tell you when I came to see you. I thought it'd hurt less coming from a friend."

Chi-Chi felt a tinge of happiness. "You're right. You've always been a great friend to me, Bulma."

"I'm here for you, Chi." Bulma reaches across and grasps her hand. "It's going to be a great party, just you wait!"


I'm gonna be a dad again… I can't believe it's finally happening! Goku thought as he continued to stroke different patterns on Ellery's stomach. After Pan was picked up, the two Saiyans went directly to bed.

With the incident at the studio, the young woman was more than exhausted. She quickly fell asleep against her partner that night.

Goku supplied his mate with energy throughout the night. He would feel her aura begin to dip as she slipped into a deeper sleep. The warrior hoped by allowing the baby to feed off his energy along with hers, he could save his mate some of her own energy. It's gonna be different this time around. Every step of the way, I'm gonna be here. You hear that little baby? Daddy's gonna be right by your side.

That's the spirit I was hoping to see. Ellery snuggled closer to her mate, eyes opening slowly.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Just woke up." The woman smiled as she kissed her partner's chest. "Thank you for the help last night. With your energy, I feel like I could conquer the world today!"

The Saiyan chuckled. "Would you like to help me conquer breakfast? I'm starving."

Ellery smiled at her mate excitedly. As she sat up in bed, her nostrils picked up the scent of eggs and bacon already being cooked. Scanning the house, she felt four distinct energies in their home. "Kakarot, do you sense that?"

"Yeah, and I already smell breakfast… Were we really in our own world to not notice?"

"It happens more often than you think." Ellery giggles, kissing her mate on the cheek. "I bet your son's wanted to surprise you on Father's day." Getting out of bed, the Saiyan woman walks to her closet. She picks out clothes for the day and quickly heads downstairs. "It smells delicious!"

"Good morning!" Gohan hollered from the stove. The young man was cooking away, already making piles of food that Pan and Goten were devouring. "Looks like these two knuckleheads have started already. Go ahead and help yourself!"

Ellery sat at the counter, picking several different foods to put on her plate. Videl came by with a big glass of orange juice for her.. "Thank you!" The Saiyan woman mentioned as she began to fill her mouth.

"Sure thing." Videl smiled as she began to get her own plate together. "Will Goku be joining us?"

"Gohan must be cooking!" Goku yelled from the top of the stairs, all but flying himself into the kitchen. "Thanks for the breakfast, son!"

"There he is." Ellery mentioned quietly, smiling at Videl.

"Happy Father's day, Dad!" Gohan turned to his dad with a smile.

"We thought we'd surprise you with breakfast!" Goten said with a mouth full of food.

"You two are the best son's a dad could ask for." Goku said before he grabbed his oldest, pulling him into a hug. He extended his arm for his youngest to join him.

"Happy Father's Day." Goten hugged his dad.

"Thank you, son." Goku held his boys close, a huge smile radiating from his features. "It's nice to have all of my kids here with me this morning." The warrior looked at his partner with a huge smile.

Ellery felt a heat rush to her cheeks, her hand going to her abdomen. She watched her mate begin to devour the food on the table. Having all of them here puts the biggest smile on Goku's face. Seeing her mate so elated also caused her to feel extra happy. "So, who came up with this wonderful plan?"

"Actually." Goten was the first to speak. "Mom thought it'd be a good idea if Gohan and I surprised Dad. She told me so after she visited Bulma last night."

Goten was finishing his homework when he heard a knock at the door. He heard Bulma's voice in the living room earlier in the evening. The half-Saiyan wondered what she came over for. It's been ages since Bulma and his mother had a chance to talk. Normally, Trunks would fly over here to play, or Goten would fly to Capsule Corp. Their mother's didn't hang out anymore. Ever since Goten's mother and father split up, it was rare that his mom and Bulma saw each other. The Capsule Corp CEO was his father's best friend.

"Goten?" Chi-Chi cracked open the door to her son's bedroom.

"Yeah mom?"

His mother entered and took a seat on his bed. "Are you almost finished with your homework?"

"Yep! Why?"

Chi-Chi took a deep breath before looking at her youngest son. "Father's Day is tomorrow, and I think it'd be nice if you and Gohan spent the day with him."

"Really?" Goten's eyes were wide as he looked at his mother in disbelief.

Chi-Chi nodded, a sad smile on her face. "I've been… angry for a long time, Goten. Letting go some of that has really helped me to see the benefit of the way our lives turned out. I need to have a chat with him sometime, but how would you like to stay with Goku on some weekends?"

Goten jumped out of the chair excitedly. "You really mean it, Mom?"

"I do, sweetie. I just want you to be happy."

"I need to go tell Gohan!" Goten ran from his room, grabbing his jacket before heading out the door.

Both Saiyan's were shocked by the news. Goku smiled nonetheless. The warrior was more than happy to have his son on the weekends. "Well, it looks like I'll have to tell her thank you at the party tonight."

"I was thinking the same thing." Ellery mentioned with a smile.

The group ate the rest of their meal in silence. Only sounds that were heard were those of utensils scraping against plates.

When do you want to tell your family? The Saiyan woman thought as she filled her mouth with more pancakes.

After we eat? I was too hungry to wait..

Ellery chuckled, nearly spitting her food out of her mouth. You're adorable..

"You okay, El?" Videl asked while looking at the Saiyan woman.

Nodding, Ellery smiled happily. "It's actually great you guys are here. We have some important news to tell you."

Videl beamed at the couple. "I knew it!" She clapped happily. "When I saw you at The Harmony Center the other day, you were just glowing!"

Gohan and Goten looked at their father confused. "What's Videl talking about?"

"Yeah Dad? Why does Ellery have a glow?" Goku's youngest questioned.

"I'm not sure what the glow is about." The Saiyan admitted with a chuckle. He took his partner's hand from across the table, beaming at her as he told his family the exciting news. "Ellery and I are going to have a baby." The warrior said happily..

Cheers erupted from around the household. Smiles could be seen on everyone's faces.

"I'm gonna be a big brother!" Goten yelled, ecstatic that he was going to have a little brother or sister.

"So how exactly does a Saiyan pregnancy work?" Gohan asked curiously. "I remember with Videl, her pregnancy was a little shorter than a human's."

"Bulma tells me it'll be about six months." Ellery mentioned, leaning back in her chair. "Saiyan's were meant to have shorter pregnancies due to them going off-world to fight. Their babies used to stay in incubators for months to finish growing. It may be what has to happen once again."

Goten's eyes widened. "That sounds scary.."

"We would be there every step of the way." The expecting mother said with a smile. "Our little one would never be alone. I'm so glad Bulma insisted on helping throughout the pregnancy. I think I'd be a mess if it weren't for her."

"She is a remarkable woman." Videl agreed, smiling at the couple across the table.

"So, what do you guys wanna do today?" Goku looked at his boys curiously.

"Can we spar?" Goten asked.

"Is that even a question!" Goku laughed as he stood from the table, picking up his youngest and running outside with him.

"Looks like I'll start cleaning up." Ellery chuckled as she watched her mate, shaking her head.

"I'll help you." Gohan and Videl said in unison before smiling at each other.

"Go spend time with your father." The Saiyan woman beamed. "Videl and I can handle this."


"Come on Saiyan! You're going to have to do better than that if you want to defeat me!"

Whis chuckled from his seat in front of the action. Lord Beerus and Vegeta had been training since the early hours of the morning. The Destroyer didn't get the best sleep, so he was pretty cranky when the Prince came stumbling into the kitchen this morning. All the excess noise caused Lord Beerus to snap, and everyone else to miss breakfast.

"Wanna bet our Lord is going to win?" Asked the Oracle Fish with a smirk.

"I learned a long time ago, Oracle, never make bets with someone that can see the future." Whis chuckled. "Vegeta does seem to be getting better though, Lord Beerus wouldn't be taunting him like this if it weren't the case."

"Do you think he's stronger than Goku?"

"It's hard to say." Whis admitted. "They both have such different fighting styles. I would say either could win in a one on one fight. It all depends on the other variables."

"Such as?"

"Whether it's a friendly match, or if there's stakes behind the curtain." Whis looked into the distance. "Both Saiyan's come out stronger when their cornered. For some reason or another, Goku can tap into some unknown reservoir of power. If Vegeta could find a way of tapping into his hidden energy, I don't think the two would be in the same class anymore."

"You think he has hidden powers?"

"Of course." The Attendant chuckled. "If the Prince would learn to relax every once in a while, like his counterpart, I think it would do him a world of good." Whis looked towards the fight. "In fact, I can tell it's already made an improvement. Bulma told me she has a 'new full-proof method' to get Vegeta to relax. I haven't asked what it is, but it seems to be working."

"Do you think Goku will ever come back to train?" The Oracle wondered.

"It's only a matter of time." The Deity smiled. "The second he sees how strong Vegeta's gotten, his Saiyan blood will be itching for a spar.

"With the Tournament in its beginning stages, I'm still not sure I should tell Goku just yet. Something tells me he wouldn't be on board."

"I wouldn't worry about Goku joining the Tournament, Whis." The Fish mentioned as he relaxed into his bowl.

The Attendant's staff began to blink and beep, startling the two out of their conversation. "Hmm.. It's Bulma. I wonder what she wants."

"Only one way to find out!" The Oracle Fish clapped.

A projection became visible. Bulma, Trunks, and Bulla were on the other side.

"Hello Whis!" Bulma waved happily.

"What do we owe the pleasure of this call, Bulma?" Whis asked with a smile.

"Since Father's Day is today, I wanted to throw a big dinner buffet and invite you guys to come!"

"Is that the only way you'll get Vegeta to be there?" The Attendant laughed.

Bulma fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Dinner will be at Six sharp! Make sure to get here in plenty of time! I can always have it start early for Lord Beerus, but if he's late I can't guarantee the guests will wait."

"What's going on over there?" Vegeta could be heard in the background. The Prince flew closer to Whis, seeing his wife projected from his staff.

"HAPPY FATHERS DAY!" The trio yelled, waving at Vegeta happily.

"It's about time you called." Vegeta's tone was stern, but a smile was creeping onto his features.

"You're lucky I called at all!" Bulma yelled. "I even decided to throw a party for you."

The Prince rolled his eyes before flying away once again. Bulma watched her husband fly away in disbelief.

"We'll be there with your husband, Bulma. We promise!" Whis looked at the Oracle Fish. "Would you like to go as well?"

"OOH!" The Fish clapped excitedly. "I'll get to try Earth foods first hand, not leftovers!"
