AN: Eight weeks have passed since Father's Day. The baby Saiyan is four months along! Goku and Ellery head to Bulma's for a check-up!

"Are you ready to go to Bulma's?" Goku was fixing the two of them snacks for the road. Ellery's appetite has definitely increased over the course of the last two months. The warrior was surprised his mate could put away so much food. Nowadays, Ellery was eating more than Goku himself!

"That's what happens when you're feeding two Saiyan's!" She would tell her partner during every meal.

With Goku being at home to assist with his partner's needs, he's also had a chance to grow closer to his little family. Several times a week, the Saiyan woman's energy would plummet. After this continued to happen, Goku had a bright idea to continue giving her energy every night. The extra energy throughout the night helped more than the warrior expected. His partner could get through most days without collapsing from energy drain.

Watching Ellery's stomach grow, along with feeling the baby's energy growing inside her was the most fascinating thing. Another thing Goku couldn't wrap his head around was the machine Bulma used on his mate. She would put some cold gel on her stomach before running some sort of scanner over her. With that, the two were able to see their little baby growing inside Ellery.

Goten has been a huge help on the weekends as well. Ever since Goku's youngest has been staying with them, he has really taken to the roll of big brother. The half-Saiyan helped Ellery throughout the days, allowing Goku to train. For some reason, Whis had been on the warrior to get more training in than he was.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" His partner yelled from upstairs. Ellery walked down in one of the only outfits that fit her anymore. "We're going to have to get me some bigger clothes if I'm going to keep growing at this rate." The expectant mother's stomach had nearly doubled in size. As she placed a hand on her abdomen, she could feel the little one moving around, causing her to smile.

Turning around, the warrior chuckled at the sight of the tight gi top on his partner. Taking his own orange one from over his head, he handed it to her. "You're more than welcome to wear mine, it'll fit for sure!"

"Exactly how much does that weigh, Kakarot? I don't want to be crawling on the floor." His mate said with a chuckle and a skeptical look.

"I'm sure you can handle it!" Goku smiled and extended his arms. "Just lay it in your arms. If it's too heavy, I'm sure we can get you some clothes that'll fit better."

Goku laid the weighted gi top in her arms. If the warrior was being truthful. The navy blue undershirt held most of the weight. Some were held inside his outer layer, but not enough to hurt his partner. The Saiyan observed the surprised look on her face as she held it, and then quickly took her own shirt off to replace it. "Does it feel comfortable?"

"It's perfect." Ellery beamed at her partner, walking up to him and wrapping her arms around him. Her stomach was in the way of their embrace, but it allowed Goku to feel his little one begin to kick softly.

"Hey!" Goku pulled away in astonishment. "I felt the baby kick me!"

"I did too." Ellery winced as she stroked her stomach softly. "The bigger they're getting, the more painful the kick becomes."

The warrior rubbed the back of his head, wishing there was some way he could help. "I brought some snacks for the trip, in case you got hungry."

"You're the greatest." Ellery smiled at her partner, touching his shoulder. "Let's go!"

"Alright!" The warrior put two fingers to his forehead, and immediately the duo was transported to the make-shift doctor's office. Bulma was at the desk, working on something when the couple arrived.

"Hey guys!" the bluenette smiled. "El, go ahead and take your normal spot. Have things been going okay since I saw you last week?"

Ellery gave her friend a pained smile. "They're definitely gaining mobility. I can feel them moving around and kicking. It's fascinating, but can be pretty painful at times. My appetite has gone through the roof. I feel like I'm eating more than Kakarot these days."

Bulma nodded sympathetically as she took Ellery's hand. "How bad is the pain?"

"It hasn't taken me to my knees yet." The Saiyan woman chuckled. "I'm sure it will by the end of this though. They're growing stronger every day."

"Trunks was the same way." The blunette mentioned with a laugh. "That could mean you're having a boy! We should find out about this check-up!"

"Do we have to find out today?" Goku asked while watching Bulma put the gel on his partner's stomach.

"If you'd like to keep it a surprise, I'd be more than happy." Smiling from ear to ear, the bluenette couldn't contain her excitement. "I'll know through the tests that I run over these next few months. However, like I said, I can keep my lips sealed until they're ready to come out."

"I just don't really care if it's a boy or girl." The warrior smiled, holding his partner's hand. "As long as the baby's healthy and strong, I'll be the happiest dad in the world."

"We could have a gender reveal party!" Bulma exclaimed happily.

"You love throwing parties, don't you?" Ellery laughed.

"I'll take any chance I can to see my husband. If throwing a party is what it takes, then so be it."

The room erupted in laughter at Bulma's comment. Taking the scanner over Ellery's stomach, the bluenette began to smile. "They're developing perfectly." She took a moment to scan over her friend's abdomen. "I'd say they're a little ahead of schedule for what I was expecting to see. This could mean they're going to be fully developed before you have them. No need for the incubation."

"You can tell all of that by looking at the black and gray mess?" Goku was astonished.

Ellery couldn't help the laugh that escaped her. "Kakarot, do you not see anything on the screen?"

"It looks like a bunch of swirls and stuff!" The Saiyan scratched his head.

Bulma pulled the monitor closer to the couple. "Goku, take a closer look towards the bottom here." The blunette pointed towards the baby's head. "Here is the head, and if you follow along with me here, you can see an arm here, even legs."

"Their tail is even starting to develop." Feeling tears erupt in her eyes, Ellery pointed towards the bottom of the screen.

"Oh my goodness…." Attempting to wrap his head around this, Goku moved his head closer to the screen. "There's a little baby in there!" Both females laughed at the Saiyan who rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "For the longest time, I had no idea what you guys were looking at or talking about. Now, I can see it!"

"I'm glad." Bulma smiled at her childhood friend. "I'll just need to do some blood work this round and you guys can be on your way!"

"With n-needles?"

"You can wait in the other room, Kakarot." Ellery snickered as she squeezed her partner's hand. The moment she let go, the Saiyan was out of the room, nearly leaving a trail of debris behind him.

"The man could take on the cruelest monsters in the universe, but his one kryptonite is a pointy needle." Shaking her head, Bulma couldn't help but laugh. "He's been this way ever since I met him."

"Everyone has an irrational fear." The young woman mentioned with a sly smile. "It is a little funny that his is something so simple. But, I guess it's better than the alternative."

Bulma quickly pulled out the equipment she needed and began the process. Ellery was fascinated by the blood filling the tube so quickly.

Suddenly, the young woman felt imbalanced. As she scanned the hallway outside, she noticed her mate's energy signature had disappeared. "Kakarot?"

The bluenette looked at her friend worriedly. "What happened, El?"

"He- He's gone.." The expectant mother's thoughts began racing, becoming more emotional by the second. Tears were running down her face within moments. "Why would he leave? Is something wrong?"

Bulma wasn't sure anything she said could make Ellery feel better. She quickly took the gel off of her stomach. If there was one person that may know where Goku was, it was Whis. "I don't know right now, But you're staying here until we get it figured out okay? Let's go upstairs, I have some calls to make."


Now that the Null Realm is prepared for the Tournament, how in the Cosmos are we going to build a tournament stage to withstand all of that damage? The Grand Minister contemplated as he sat at his desk. Planning stages of the Tournament were taking longer than anticipated. Unfortunately, it's also made the Omni Kings even more demanding than before. The rebuilding time alone could take hours, which only lengthens the time of the Tournament.

A knock at his door startled him. "Come in!"

Zeni and Zeno burst through the double doors of his office. "Grand Minister!"

"Yes sires?" The Deity sighed, rubbing his temples.

"We wanted to know when the Tournament was going to be ready?" Zeni asked.

"Yes! We want to watch battles now!" Zeno cheered.

Taking a deep breath, the Grand Minister looked at the King's of Everything with a strained smile. "We are still ironing out the details of the Tournament Sires. Is there another game you can play to pass the time?"

"That's the thing." Zeno began.

"We kinda already got bored of all the other games in the room." Zeni finished his partner's sentence.

"Is there any way we can speed up the process?" The Omni Kings begged in unison.

Looking at the little Deities with wide eyes, the Grand Minister wasn't sure what to say. "Well, you could always invite your friend Goku here? I'm sure he would love to battle here in the Palace for your entertainment."

"That's a great idea!" The two say before running out of the room as quickly as they came.

Zeni and Zeno ran immediately to their playroom. One went to retrieve the button, while the other started to build a makeshift platform for their friend to spar on. As Zeni found the button, he yelled in excitement.

"Awesome! But who's gonna fight Goku?"

Zeno thought his friend's question over. "Is it possible to bring Goku and Vegeta here with the button?"

"I don't think so." Zeni's brow furrowed. "But, we could get one of the guards! They're pretty strong."

"You're right!" Zeno nodded. "I'm almost done here. Go ahead and summon our friend!"

Zeni pushed the blue and purple button. Within moments the Saiyan appeared out of thin air. The Omni Kings noted his orange gi top was missing.

"What the-!" Goku yelled as he looked around at his new environment. "Zeni? Zeno?"

"GOKU!" The Omni Kings screamed their delight as they ran to their friend. Their hands went up to greet him in a handshake.

"How did I get here?" The warrior looked around worriedly.

"We brought you here, silly!" Zeni explained.

"We wanted to watch you spar!" Zeno clapped happily.

Goku's eyes widened. "Oh, uhm…" Rubbing the back of his head, the warrior began to feel a coldness enter his body. He didn't want to be away from his mate for an extended period of time. However, the Saiyan never wanted to refuse the Omni Kings wishes, knowing what could happen if their orders are disobeyed.

"You look worried, Goku." Zeni mentioned as they got a good look at the Saiyan's features.

"Did we take you away from something important?"

Unsure of what to say, the warrior attempted to laugh it off. "I was at a doctor's appointment with my partner. We're having a baby."

The Omni Kings gasp. "She's having it right now?"

"No, no. She's just at a check up-"

"Then you can stay for a little bit, Goku?" Zeni asked.

"Pleeeease. We wanted to watch you battle!"

"Uh…" Goku looked down at the Kings of Everything. I'm sure one little battle won't take too long. What could it hurt? "Sure, guys! Let's make it quick."

"Awesome!" The two Deities yell in excitement together.

"This is definitely going to help our boredom! Guards, could you come here please?" Zeni pumped his fists into the air.

"And make us more excited for the Tournament!" Zeno jumped up and down, his tiny body unable to hold that much excitement.

"Tournament?" Goku raised his brow skeptically. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Whis didn't tell you?" The Omni Kings asked curiously.

"Tell me what?" The warrior was on his toes trying to get the information out of Zeni and Zeno.

"We were getting bored, and asked the Grand Minister to create another Tournament."

"Only this time, it's going to be even more awesome than the last!"

Goku stood next to the Kings of Everything in disbelief. This new information explained the Attendant's odd behavior over these last few months. Standing there with a look of awe, Goku was unsure of what to say.. "Are the Universes on the line this time?"

The blue Deities shook their heads. "We even want all Universes to compete this time!" Zeni and Zeno informed Goku of every detail they knew about the tournament. There would be a preliminary battle royale, followed by several one on one battles to see who is the strongest being in the Cosmos!

The Saiyan nodded, soaking in all of the information. It looks like I'm going to have a chat with Whis. It's not like him to keep things like this from us.

"Are you ready to battle, Goku?" The Omni King's asked, looking at their friend with mild concern.

Putting a smile on his face, the warrior quickly changed his demeanor. "Of course I am! Let's get to it!"
