The sun once again rose to start another glorious morning on Mt. Paozu. The rays of the sun hit Goten right on the face. He groaned as he reached for either his sheets or his pillow. He couldn't feel any of it. He thought that he fell off his bed again. It's how he explained his headache.
He tried to use a gust of wind caused by a swing of his arm to close his curtains. Since it didn't get any darker, he opened his eyes in annoyance. He sat up to see why his curtains weren't close to begin with.
"Wait a minute, where are my curtains?" He then looked around. "This isn't even my room. Ow. My head is killing me." He belched a tiny bit and groaned. "I feel like crap. Am I in a hangover again? Damn. Wonder if it has anything to do with Trunks like last time."
Goten then heard a soft moan before he felt something wrap around his waist. "Thin, small, and warm. Is it my girlfriend?" Goten looked to see someone that made his face go blue. "B-B-B-Bulla," he whispered.
Sleeping peacefully was the beautiful daughter of the richest woman in the world... without any clothes on.
Goten looked down and realized he was in the same situation. That's when the memories came flooding in.
"Dad divorced mom. Dad remarried to Caulifla. Everyone threw a party to celebrate the marriage. . . . A drunk Yamcha got a hold of me and shoved booze down my throat. I drink a whole keg. Then nothing. THIS IS YAMCHA'S FAULT!"
"But there's no way Vegeta will buy that! He'll just kill us both! Wait, where are my clothes!?" Goten looked and saw that his and Bulla's clothes were scattered around the room. He carefully got up as to not awaken Bulla. He froze when she lightly grabbed his hand.
"C-Cute."
His eyes then popped open before he shook his head to clear it before gently taking her hand off of his. He then quickly got dressed and clothed Bulla as carefully as he could without waking her up.
He then remembered that Vegeta was at the party and tried to sense where he is. His face went blue when he realized that Vegeta was in the room across from the one he was in.
Goten found out that he was in one of the four bedrooms. His father was obviously in the master bedroom. He could sense him sleeping with Caulifla on top of him. He was also able to sense that Krillin was in the room next to the one he was staying in. From the odd way his ki was flowing, Goten guessed... that he was sleeping on top of his wife. He also sensed Marron, so he guessed Krillin and 18 didn't do anything. Finally, he sensed Vegeta sleeping with Bulma. For now, he was safe from the deadly Saiyan.
With that in mind, he quietly left the room as to not awaken Bulla. He sighed in relief when he closed the door. His relief was soon destroyed when he looked behind him.
His father's, or more importantly, Caulifla's house was trashed. Beer bottles scattered on the ground, paper plates and crumpled napkins, and what he feared to be vomit.
Goten looked around frantically until he saw who he was looking for, and he was truly relieved to know he was still in the house.
Gohan was sleeping on Caulifla's chair. Master Roshi was on the floor with a beer bottle in his hand while Yamcha was sleeping on the couch. There was no sign of Tien, and Goten didn't sense him anywhere. He assumed Tien went back to his home.
None of that mattered, though. Goten ran over and shook his brother. "Gohan! Gohan! Wake up!"
"Hm? Mm. I'm up. I'm up," he said groggily as he rubbed his eyes. "Ow. It's been a while since I've drunk. Forgot how bad a hangover could be." He then looked around. "Oh, my. This place is a mess."
"I know. That's why I was trying to wake you up. We need to clean this up before Caulifla wakes up!"
"Good thinking, Goten. We did cause this mess. It's only polite that we clean up after ourselves."
"I don't care about being polite!" Gohan looked at his brother with a surprised expression. "Our mom used to punish me for some much as accidentally spilling my juice as a kid! Can you imagine what a woman as strong as dad would do to us if she saw her house was trashed!?"
Gohan's eyes were hidden by the shine of his glasses while his face went completely blue. The half-Saiyans both had a vision of Caulifla's massive, red-eyed shadow looming over the both of them, her arms crossed, her ki causing an intensely powerful wind that blew the two away.
They wasted no time flying around to get the necessary cleaning supplies and start to tidy up. Their mother was scary enough, and she was a regular human. No way they wanted to infuriate a Saiyan woman as powerful as their father.
As the rays of the sun finally reached the master bedroom, Caulifla slowly opened her eyes due to its warm touch. She slowly sat up, yawning a bit, feeling pressure on her back. She looked to see that it was Goku's arm. He had it wrapped around her.
She couldn't help but giggle at the sight. With a roll of her eyes, she used Instant Transmission to escape his admittedly comfortable hold and grabbed her robe and Goku's, knowing she would need it later. She was feeling too lazy to get properly dressed, but she had more than enough motivation to go out and hunt for breakfast.
However, when she opened the door, she stopped dead in her tracks. "What the hell?"
Her house was shining. Literally sparkling.
She looked to see Gohan on her chair and Goten leaning against it, both panting.
"Alright, start talking." The two looked up to see Caulifla standing over them, hands on her hips. "What the hell did you two do to my house," she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Thinking it was for the best, the two explained the whole situation to Caulifla, who was now sitting in her chair with her legs crossed, head resting on her fist, and eyes closed. "Hm. Good call. I really would have been pissed if I saw my house in that state." She then opened one eye and smirked at the boys. "I would have sent all of you to the Medical Ward." The boys shivered at Caulifla's truthful words.
The sound of a door opening was heard.
"Mornin'," Bulma yawned as she walked in wearing a Capsule Corp bathrobe.
"Aren't you a bit old to be showing that much cleavage," Caulifla asked.
"Shut up." Bulma looked towards the kitchen. "Where's your fridge?"
"Like Goku or I know how to make a fridge. This house doesn't even have plumbing or electricity."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to install the fridge."
"Didn't you hear me? We don't have power."
"Actually, you do know."
"Huh?"
"And plumbing, too. You even have a shower, now. See," Bulma said as she opened the door to the bathroom.
Caulifla got up to see. What was once just a walk-in closest with an incredibly deep hole was now a full room with a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet.
Caulifla used Instant Transmission to go outside and see that her house had an extension. She then warped back. "When, how, and why?"
"Caulifla, I'm the richest woman in the world. Having a bathroom built is no problem for me. Think of it as a wedding gift from me. As for the when, after you and Goku went to your room. I had a few other adjustments added to your house, like an A/C, a heater, and a decent bed for the guest room."
"Goku designed the house to have three guest rooms."
"Oh. Oops. Well, nothing a phone call won't fix. Might as well call in some breakfast while I'm at it."
Caulifla stared at Bulma before she went back to relaxing on her chair. "Yeah. Might as well." Truth be told, she was looking forward to hunting. Still, she wasn't about to pass up a free meal.
Goku was snoring away on his bed, looking like he was trying to grab for something. He grumbled a bit, looking a bit uncomfortable. Then, his nose twitched.
His eyes popped open. He then jumped out of bed and ran out of his room.
As Caulifla was sitting at the table drinking coffee with her eyes closed, she grabbed the robe on the table and threw it behind her without looking.
Out of instinct, Goku grabbed the robe and put it on. "I smell food!"
He then saw a massive buffet of breakfast in his living room between his couch and Caulifla's favorite chair. He wasted no time in grabbing a plate and filling it up with food.
"Well, good morning to you, too, Goku," Bulma said in an annoyed tone as she ate her scrambled eggs.
"Mm? A Ulma," Goku said.
"Don't talk with your mouth full! And at least wait until you're at your table before you eat," Bulma yelled.
"You sound more like his wife than I do," Caulifla said before she took a bite out of her steak.
"Well, what do you expect?! I know for certain that you won't reprimand him!"
"True," Caulifla said with a smirk.
"Unbelievable. Have you no self-control, Kakarot?"
"Hm? Oh, hey, Vegeta! Good morning! Sleep well?"
"We almost didn't, since you didn't have so much as a spare futon," Bulma complained. "It's a good thing I had the good sense to bring a Capsule Corp. bed with me."
Goku chuckled nervously. "Sorry about that. Caulifla and I didn't cut down enough trees to make the extra furniture. Didn't hunt enough for it, either."
"In our defense, we didn't think we'd be having any guests so quickly."
"That, too."
Bulma sighed. "Can't argue with that."
Goku then looked around. "Hey, Gohan? Why do you and Goten look so worn out?"
"We cleaned your house before Caulifla woke up," Gohan answered.
"Really? Thanks," Goku said with a smile.
"Don't mention it," Goten said with a smile. "Anything to avoid getting on Caulifla's bad side."
Goten then shivered. He looked to see Caulifla smirking at him as if she knew what he was thinking. When he thought about it, she probably did.
"You always bring the best food, Bulma!"
Goku looked to see Yamcha sitting on the couch, enjoying the Brief Breakfast.
"Nothing quite like it," Roshi said as he also ate.
"Good morning, everyone." Everyone looked to see a drowsy looking Krillin in pajamas leave one of the guests rooms, followed by 18 and Marron, who were also wearing pajamas, only they weren't wearing nightcaps like Krillin was.
"Thanks for the bed, Bulma," 18 said.
"No problem. I knew it was a good idea to bring more than one capsule."
"That looks delicious," Marron said as she noticed the buffet.
"Wash your hands first, Marron," 18 said.
"Um, we don't have-" Goku began.
"We do now," Caulifla said. "Bulma had it installed, along with a toilet and shower."
"Really? How?"
"Easily. Your toilet has a double pipeline. One that carries the water from the nearby river and the other that leads into that nice, deep hole you made," Bulma explained. (A/N: I am NOT a plumber. Don't even think about reprimanding me about this) "The shower and sink basically work the same way, only they have special pipes that recycle the unused water, so you don't have to worry about being wasteful."
"That a new Capsule Corp. invention," Caulifla asked.
"Yeah. Bulla came up with the design after I complained about her showers being too long."
"Speaking of, where is my daughter," Vegeta asked. Goten jolted. Fortunately for him, Vegeta didn't notice that.
The door of the last guest room opened. "Good morning," yawned Bulla as she stretched her arms.
Bulma giggled. "You look like you slept well."
"Weirdly enough, I did."
"What do mean by weirdly? Are you saying our beds aren't good enough for you," Bulma asked with a smirk as she rested her chin on her palm.
"That's actually it. I didn't sleep on one of our beds. I woke up on the floor."
"You did what?"
"Still, I feel great. I'll admit that I didn't wake up in the most pleasant of ways, but the rest of the night was like sleeping on a warm, soft, yet sturdy bed." Goten's eyes were shadowed as he ate his breakfast with a blush.
"Kinda sounds like sleeping on Goku," Caulifla said as she ate a blueberry muffin.
"I'm a soft and warm bed?"
"You're MY soft and warm bed, anyway," Caulifla said with a smirk.
"Could you two BE any closer," Bulma asked with a giggle.
After a while, everyone was full from having a delicious Brief Breakfast. Goku and Caulifla waved everyone goodbye as they flew off, everyone wishing them luck on their marriage. Though, Vegeta just gave the same hand sign he gave Trunks when he left after the fight with Cell. Though, that was quite the blessing coming from him.
"So, what now? Wanna train," Caulifla asked with a smile.
"Actually, there's something I wanna try."
Caulifla gave her husband a confused but curious look.
The two were flying around Mt. Paozu, Goku searching for something. "There! That'll do!" The couple then landed.
"Nice bit of land. Are we going to spar here?"
"No. We're going to do some Kame Style Training. We're going to hoe this entire thing with our bare hands."
". . . Huh?"
"Trust me. It's great training."
"How is farming great training? Are you sure you aren't just doing this out of habit because of your ex?"
"You'll see how it's helpful. Let's make it more fun. A race to see who tiles more land."
"I'm not going to f-"
"Ready," Goku said before getting in a starting position.
Out of instinct, Caulifla took one herself. "Huh?! Wait a min-"
"GO!"
The couple then started to plow the land with their bare hands, both going at awesome speeds.
"Dammit. How did I let him talk me into this? Ow! Seriously? I know I'm just in my base form, but I'm one of the strongest women in the damned multiverse. How am I having trouble? Still, he wasn't bullshitting after all. It's not just my hands getting a good workout. My legs, arms, shoulders, and back feels like they're getting a hell of a workout. That husband of mine. Sure knows how to make things interesting," Caulifla thought with a smirk.
She then looked towards Goku. "He's going faster. Can't let him get ahead of me!"
The couple then went faster, not wanting to be outdone by their significant other. They were tiling ten acres of lands in mere minutes like it was nothing. Then, they both saw it.
"The last bit of land," Goku thought with a smile.
"I'm almost there," Caulifla thought with a smirk.
"IT'S MY WIN," the two yelled in unison as they threw their hands at the last bit of land.
Their fingers instead clashed against the other.
The two looked up at one another.
Caulifla didn't hesitate. She tried to knee Goku right in the face, but Goku caught it. He retaliated by trying to punch her in the face, but she caught his fist in return. She then tried to kick him in his temple, but he just flipped over and jumped away from her.
The two then clashed, now fighting with excited smirks on their faces. They warped all over the now perfectly tilled land, before they started to fly, their punches crashing all around.
The two were now grappling the other, both trying to overpower the other.
"So, in the end, we still ended up sparring," Caulifla said.
"Yeah. That's what it looks like, but I'm not complaining."
"Neither am I!"
The two then separated and started to throw a barrage of kicks, punches, and ki at the other.
Caulifla then warped behind Goku and grabbed him in a choke-hold, her legs wrapped around his waist. "So, now that we've dug up this land, what do you plan on doing next," Caulifla asked, not loosening her grip at all.
"About that," Goku began as he yanked Caulifla's arms off of him and threw her.
She quickly regained her balance and turned to charge back at Goku, only to catch a bag. She opened it and took out one of its contents. "Seeds?"
"Yeah. I did this kind of training with Uub, too. Of course, we had to do some tricks to carry a ton of water and soften the land near his village, but after we softened it up and tilled it, the next bit of training I gave him was to compete with me to see who could plant the most seeds faster. He only beat me twice in all the ten times we did this."
"You guys trained for five years, and he was only able to beat you twice at farming," Caulifla asked with a raised eyebrow and smirk.
"Yup. Guess it shows that I'm better at farming than I thought. I even grew an entire field of radishes one time. The seeds your carrying are lettuce seeds. I have plenty of other seeds, like carrots and cauliflower. We're going to plant all of these in ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?" Caulifla smirked once more. "Is your age catching up to you?"
Goku then got a challenging smile. "And what does that mean?"
"Please. It should take me five minutes, max."
"Oh? Are you sure you don't mean two, because that's how long I will need," Goku said as he got close to her.
She then looked into Goku's eyes and got closer. "Well, I will only need one minute."
Goku then placed his forehead against Caulifla's. "Well, I'll only need thirty seconds."
"Oh, yeah," Caulifla said as she pushed back against Goku's forehead.
"Yeah," he said as he pushed back.
The two were pushing each other back, their ki rising before they jumped away from each other.
"Ready," Goku asked as he got into a stance, throwing two more bags at Caulifla.
"Bring it," she answered as she caught the bags, with the couple now having three bags each.
"LET'S GO," the two said in unison as they began their contest.
Both of their arms were blurs as they planted the seeds at impossible speeds. It really did take them only thirty seconds to seed the entire field. There was only one spot left in the whole field.
"MINE," the two roared as they were about to place their seed.
Their hands instead clashed, both turning their seeds to dust. They smirked at each other before they resumed fighting.
"So, what now," Caulifla asked before she grabbed Goku's leg and started to spin him around.
"We wait for a few months for the crops to grow," Goku said before he kicked Caulifla's wrist, escaping from her grip and landing on his feet. He then charged at her, the two now fighting furiously, yet somehow artistically. "After that, I can show off how much faster I am than you at picking crops," Goku said with a challenging smile as he grappled with his wife.
"Them's fightin' words," Caulifla said with a smirk.
The two then jumped away before charging at one another, their fists clashing thunderously.
Months have passed since then.
"Wow. We sure can farm," Caulifla said as she looked out at the fields of vegetables, honestly shocked that she helped grow such a sight.
"Right? This haul is almost as big as what me and Uub grew."
"That so," Caulifla asked before she began to cough.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"Are you sure? I mean, you did vomit this morning."
"I still blame those berries we had yesterday."
"But I feel just fine, and I ate just as many of them as you did."
"Whatever. I was puking like crazy, and I blame the berries. Now, let's start picking the vegetables so I can show off how much faster I am." Caulifla then looked towards the field. "Though, we probably won't be able to eat most of this."
"No problem. We'll just give some to Bulma."
Caulifla then crossed her arms. "You think she'll give us some peanut butter?"
"Hm? Sure. Why?"
"I want to try some peanut butter covered cauliflower."
"Really? Okay. Your honey slathered snake from yesterday was really good, so maybe peanut butter cauliflower will be tasty too."
"Only one way to find out."
Bulma was in her lab, typing away at her computer when her doorbell rang. She saved her work before getting up from her desk. She was wondering who it was since she wasn't expecting any visits. "Who is it," she asked before she reached the monitor that looks outside her door.
She saw Goku look up at the camera and wave. "Hey, Bulma!"
"Oh, this is a surprise." She unlocked the door. "You don't ever visit on your own accor- WHOA!"
Behind Goku and Caulifla were two massive containers of vegetables.
"What a haul," Bulma said.
"Yeah. We saved one of the giant buckets you gave us for ourselves."
"So that's why you asked for three. I can't believe you filled all of them. So, you giving me all of this for free or something? I mean, not that I'm complaining."
"Actually, Bulma, can we have a jar of peanut butter," Goku asked.
Bulma sighed. "I really need to open an account for you. With the amount of food you've given me, you're worth a few thousand already."
"What's an account? Is it good," Goku asked.
Bulma looked at Caulifla. "You know what it is, don't you?"
"Yes," Caulifla answered with a roll of her eyes.
"Then I'm giving you the card."
"Good idea. Now, about that peanut butter."
"Don't worry. We have some. Just bought a new jar yesterday. Two, actually. Vegeta and I have different tastes. You want the crunchy or the-"
"Smooth."
"Of course it'd be the one I like," Bulma muttered. "Come in. I'll have someone deal with the vegetables."
Goku looked around. "Haven't been here since we trained for Super Saiyan 4," he said with a smile.
"Yes. Three whole months. Not as bad as the many years you never visited, but still a long time," Bulma commented as they reached the kitchen. She then opened the cabinet and handed the jar to Caulifla. "So, do you even have bread to go with that, or is it for the fruit around your house?"
"It's for cauliflower," Caulifla answered.
Bulma was silent for a bit. "Huh?"
"Yeah. Caulifla wanted to have cauliflower with peanut butter," Goku said with a smile.
"That's... weird."
"But it might be tasty. The snake with honey was better than I thought it would be. The tuna with hot pepper and coconut was also good."
"T-The what?"
"Caulifla has been having all kinds of different ideas for our meals. They were all seriously good. Caulifla's an amazing cook, you know. I can't get enough of her food. It's somehow more fun to eat it than it is to catch it. Even the weirdest looking stuff, like stone soup, was incredibly good."
Bulma listened to every word Goku said, her arms crossed. She then looked at Caulifla. "Caulifla, have you been feeling nauseous lately?"
"Yeah."
"Vomited at all?"
"She vomited this morning."
"Uh-huh." Bulma then walked away.
"What was that about," Goku asked his wife.
"I have no idea."
Bulma then came back. "Caulifla, do you need to use the bathroom?"
"Huh? Uh, I guess? Why?"
"Good." Bulma then handed her something.
She looked into her hand and blushed. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Just do it."
"Nah?! Wha?! T-There's no way I'm-!"
"If you're not, you're not. Just take the test."
Caulifla blushed angrily at Bulma before she huffed. "FINE!" She then stomped away.
"Caulifla needs to take a test? That sucks. I hate tests," Goku said.
"Not the kind of test you're thinking of, Goku."
"Hm?"
Moments passed after that. Caulifla came back confidently and held up the test. "See, Bulma!? I'm not pregnant!"
"Hm, I guess it was just my imagination. You mentioned many of the usual symptoms."
"It was just coincidence," Caulifla said with a shrug, her smile never going away.
"Oh, you were supposed to be pregnant?"
"But I'm not."
"How are you supposed to tell.
Caulifla pointed at the test. "This little screen has two red lines for pregnant, and one for not."
"So, you are pregnant."
Caulifla looked at her husband with a raised eyebrow. "Hah? Are you blind? There's only one line."
"No." Goku pointed. There's two."
"Are you trying to prank me, Goku," Caulifla asked with a smirk as she looked towards Bulma. Her smirk went away when she saw Bulma's wide-eyed expression. She then looked at the test again.
What she saw made her do something she had never done before. She cried. Tears were flowing down her cheeks... tears of joy.
"Caulifla?"
She looked up at her husband.
"Are you alright?"
Caulifla didn't respond. She just walked up and hugged him.
Goku just smiled as he hugged her back. "So, we're going to be parents?"
"Yeah."
The two were silent for a bit. "Caulifla, thank you."
She tightened her hug. "Thank you."
Goku then got a toothy grin. "I can't wait to be a dad again! I'm going to teach my kid so many techniques!"
"Hey, there. He's my kid, too," Caulifla said with a giggle. "I need to make sure the little one's every bit as tough as I am."
Goku laughed. "So, what now?"
"Now, Caulifla stays here."
The couple looked at Bulma, who had her arms crossed.
"Huh," the two went.
"If you two were to leave, you'd probably go back to training and hunting, right?"
"Of course," they said in unison.
"NO WAY," Bulma yelled, surprisingly making both Saiyans jump. Bulma then sighed. "Look, this is for the baby's safety. I know Saiyans are tough, but one wrong hit from Goku could hurt the child. So, to make sure the newest member of your family arrives safely, Caulifla is staying here."
"Does she have to," Goku asked.
"Yes, but don't sound so down about it. You're staying, too."
Goku's eyes shined. "Really!?"
"Duh. I'm not going to separate a man from his wife for months."
"Alright! You hear that, Caulifla?! We can still train together!"
"NO!" Bulma sighed. "I just explained it. Caulifla isn't doing any kind of training at all."
"WHAT," Caulifla went.
"It's for your baby's sake," Bulma explained, making Caulifla grumbled. "Goku, you can either train with Vegeta or keep Caulifla company, but no sparring. Are we clear?"
Goku was looking for the right thing to say before he just sighed in defeat and slumped over. "Crystal."
Bulma smiled. "Good. Don't worry. Your baby will be here before you know it. Pilaf! Shu!"
The two came running in before saluting. "You called," the two went.
"Goku and Caulifla will be staying with us for a while."
"Really," Pilaf asked.
"Why's that," Shu asked.
"Because Caulifla's pregnant, and I want my cute new godchild to come out safely."
"Wait, you're the godmom," Caulifla asked.
Bulma smiled at her. "I am now. Now, make sure nothing bad happens to Caulifla and her child. Help her out in any way she needs. Got it?"
"Yes, ma'am," they answered with a salute.
Caulifla sighed. "This is going to be a long pregnancy."
It honestly felt like it was when Caulifla started having mood swings. She once came into the same room as Goku was and just punched him into the stratosphere. When he warped back to compliment her on her punch becoming even more awesome, she threw herself on him, crying a river. One day, she was so happy, that Vegeta ran away from the mere sight of her, while Goku laughed alongside her.
Then came the second trimester.
Goku was rubbing Caulifla's stomach, looking excited. "Oh, man. This is so exciting. Just a few more months, and we can start teaching." His tail was actually wagging in excitement.
"Were you this excited for your first two," Caulifla asked with a giggle.
"Actually, with Gohan, I thought Chichi was carrying around cinnamon buns because the Ox King said told me she had a 'bun in her oven'."
Caulifla held in a snicker before looking at her husband with a raised eyebrow and toothy smile. "You are such an idiot."
"But he's your idiot."
The couple looked up to see Bulma walk in with Vegeta.
"That he is," Caulifla said.
"I see the baby's coming along just fine. Might be able to do an ultrasound soon enough. Any idea what you're going to name it?"
Goku thought for a bit. "I... don't have a clue," he said with a nervous laugh as he scratched the back of his head.
Bulma sighed. "Figures. How about you, Caulifla?"
Caulifla looked down at her belly. "I actually have one. Just one, for a boy."
"Hm? Why just a boy," Bulma asked.
"My brother told me... it's what I would have been named if I was his little brother instead of his little sister. He also told me that he had planned on naming his own son that name if he ever became a father, but that wasn't in the cards for him. So, I guess this is just a way to honor him, ya know?"
"Well, what is it," Vegeta asked, looking a bit impatient.
Caulifla smiled. "Littace. If he's a boy, he'll be Son Littace."
Goku smiled. "I like it. I really like it."
Bulma smiled. "And what if it's a girl?"
"Then I'm screwed," Caulifla said with a laugh.
"You will not. There are plenty of traditional Saiyan names to give a female warrior that will greatly honor the Saiyan race," Vegeta said before he walked away. "Like Zucchini."
Everyone watched as Vegeta walked away.
"So, should we name our daughter Zucchini," Goku asked.
"No," the two women in the room answered in unison.
"Is it because it's long? We could always shorten it to Zucci."
Caulifla was about to say something until she took a moment to think. "Actually, that could work."
More time passed, and Caulifla was now on her third trimester. The ultrasound revealed that the baby would be... Littace.
Both parents were excited, but something happened that made them really look forward to meeting their son.
Caulifla could feel the baby kicking around and told Goku to come and feel it. When he put his ear onto her belly, he was sent flying through three walls, landing on the kitchen table where Bulma, Vegeta, and Bulla were eating. Obviously, the trio was shocked to see Goku laying on their now ruined kitchen table.
However, Goku didn't care. He just jumped up yelling "whoo-hoo" before running back through the holes.
"Wow! He's strong, like his dad!" Goku knelt down and placed a fist on Caulifla's belly, right where the baby kicked him. "That was an awesome kick. I can't wait to start training you, Littace!"
Caulifla could help but smile at the sight.
Bulma was leaning against the ruined wall, watching the two with a smile as her husband and daughter walked up. "You know, I should be furious at the destruction they caused to my house, but I can't be mad at that. Just look at how happy they are."
"At the very least, they know their son will be a powerful and great warrior. Congratulations, Kakarot. Your child has brought pride to the Saiyan race. Although..." Vegeta then walked over and grabbed Goku by the collar before dragging him away. "You ruined my dinner with my wife and daughter. I won't be satisfied until I punch your face in."
"Oh, we're going to spar?! Sorry, Caulifla! Sorry, Littace! Dad's going to go spar with Uncle Vegeta for a bit!"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING UNCLE?! JUST BECAUSE I CALLED YOUR SON THE PRIDE OF THE SAIYAN RACE DOES NOT MEAN I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY!"
"Come on, Vegeta. If Bulma's the godmom, you're the goddad, right?"
"That was her decision, not mine!"
Bulma sighed at her husband's antics. Still, she couldn't stop smiling. She really was enjoying this nice family time.
More time has passed, and the due day was just a week away.
Right now, Goku, Caulifla, Bulma, and Vegeta were sitting at a table outside in the Capsule Corp garden. Everyone but Vegeta was laughing.
"I don't care if she was a robot. It's still hilarious that Vegeta got beaten up by a little girl," Caulifla laughed.
"Shut up," Vegeta grumbled while leaning his head against his fist.
"Yeah, we had a lot of good times," Bulma said as she sipped her tea.
"You make it sound like we won't have anymore," Goku said as he ate the bento one of Bulma's chefs brought him.
"Yeah. We still have plenty of time to have some fun," Caulifla said as she ate the salad that was given to her. "And as soon as Littace is born," she began as she picked up a glass of water. "We will have many more to come."
Bulma giggled as she prepared to sip her tea again. "I'm sure you will," she said as she sipped her tea with her eyes closed.
The sound of water spilling was heard. "Oops," Caulifla went.
"Ah, don't worry. A little spilled water won't hurt anyone. And don't worry about the glass. It's shatterproof. Nothing will happen if you drop it."
"Well, that's not really important to me, since I didn't drop it."
"Hm? Then what was that spilling water I heard," she asked as she opened her eyes.
Caulifla looked at Bulma with a light blush. "Well... my water broke."
Bulma stared at Caulifla before she dropped her glass of ice tea. "Come again?"
"The, uh, the baby's coming," Caulifla said as she held onto her stomach.
"B-But the due date! We still had a week left!"
"Seems Littace has other plans."
Goku laughed. "I guess he wants to see us as badly as we want to see him!"
"THIS IS NO TIME TO LAUGH, GOKU," Bulma yelled. "WE NEED TO GET CAULIFLA TO THE HOSPITAL, NOW!"
"Okay," Goku said as he grabbed Caulifla's hand and placed his fingers on his forehead.
"Oh, boy," Bulma went as she quickly grabbed both Caulifla's and Vegeta's hands.
Goku then used Instant Transmission.
None of the hospital staff or patients saw the group appear out of nowhere, but as soon as a doctor saw the state Caulifla was in, she was rushed to the delivery room, followed by the party.
"May I ask which of you is the father," the doctor asked.
"Yo," Goku said with a wave.
"First of all, congratulations. Second of all, don't worry. Your wife is in good hands."
"Oh, I'm not worried." Goku smiled at Caulifla. "Because my wife is the strongest woman in the universe. She doesn't need to worry about anything."
Caulifla smirked at her husband. "Damn right."
Goku and Caulifla were then led into the delivery room. It was there, that for the first time ever, Goku got to help deliver his child. It didn't take long for the baby to be delivered. In just a few minutes, Littace was crying in the arms of his mother.
Caulifla had tears of joy welling up in her eyes, smiling at her son. Surprisingly, Goku looked just as overjoyed. Maybe it was because this was the first time he saw the birth of his child. When Gohan was born, he was out fishing. He was dead when Goten was born. In a way, helping deliver Littace gave Goku an even stronger bond with Littace than with his other sons.
"So, this is our son. Welcome to Earth, Littace," Goku said.
The baby stopped crying when he heard his father's voice and looked at him.
"Hey, little guy. It's me, your dad."
Littace laughed adorable as he reached out for his father. Goku chuckled as he held out his finger, letting the baby grab it.
The doctors and nurse smiled happily at the pair before they received a shock.
"Wow. He's even stronger than when he was in your belly, Caulifla," said Goku as he was being held up in the air by Littace.
"Well, he is our son," Caulifla said with a smile.
Littace then yawned as put his father down and went to sleep. The parents smiled at their son.
"We got this," Goku asked as he held up a fist.
"Yeah. We got this," Caulifla said as she fist-bumped her husband. She then got out of the bed.
"Ah! Ma'am, you should rest a bit! You just gave birth," the nurse pleaded.
Caulifla smirked at the nurse with a raised eyebrow. "And? Do I look like a sissy to you? I'm the wife of the strongest man in the universe and a mom. It's going to take a lot more than this to keep me down," she said as she and her family left the room.
"Ah, wait," the doctor called as he and the nurse followed the Saiyans.
"Alright, let's go," Goku said to Vegeta and Bulma.
"Already? That was fast," Bulma said as she and Vegeta stood up.
"Wait a moment!"
The group looked to see the doctor and nurse run towards them.
"Thank you for your hard work," Goku said with a bow.
Following her husband's lead, Caulifla also bowed. However, when she bowed, she accidentally brought Littace close to his father's hair, which tickled his little nose. The baby then let out a small and cute sneeze, making his tail pop out of the blanket he was wrapped in. The sight of the infant's tail made the nurse and doctor stop dead in their tracks, their jaws close to hitting the floor. That's when they finally realized that Goku, Caulifla, and Vegeta had tails as well.
"See ya later," Goku said as he used Instant Transmission to warp the group out of the hospital.
The doctor and nurse stood in place, slumped over.
"Doctor, I think I'm going to use my paid vacation now," the nurse said.
"I think I am, too," the doctor said. "I also need to see Dr. Shinri. I think my sanity needs to be examined. I'm seeing things due to overwork," he said as he walked towards the psychological ward.
"I'm coming along, sir," the nurse called as she ran over to the doctor.
Bulla was eating potato chips while reading a magazine when she heard the familiar zip of the Instant Transmission. She looked up to see her parents and Goku and Caulifla.
"Welcome back," she said as she got up. "Where have you been off toooooo."
Bulla looked right into Littace's eyes. "W-What is that adorable creature in Caulifla's arms!?"
"Uh, my son?"
"He's so cute," Bulla cried as she all but zipped in front of the mother, lightly scratching Littace's chin. "Hey there, cutie. It's your Big Sis Bulla." Littace gurgled and giggled in the adorable way babies usually do. Bulla had a look of pure bliss. "So cute."
Littace then grabbed Bulla's finger.
"Hm? Whoa. Whoa! WHOA! STRONG!" Bulla was being held up by the baby. "SINCE WHEN WERE BABIES THIS STRONG?! Ah, or maybe I'm just that light. Nice. Thanks for the nice body, mom."
"Anytime, sweetie."
"Now, Littace, can you please put Big Sis Bulla down? Whoa!" Littace just released Bulla, but she was able to land on her feet. "Spunky little troublemaker, isn't he?"
"That's my boy," Goku said with a proud smile.
"Well, thanks for everything, Bulma," Caulifla said with a smile.
"No problem," she said before she started to rub Littace's cheek, making the baby giggle. "You better visit more often now. I am officially the godmother of this little guy now."
"Sure. Vegeta should spend some time with him now, too, right," Goku asked.
"Wrong. Bulma may have accepted being the godmother, but I have not made the same commitment."
"Come on, Vegeta," Goku pleaded.
"Don't you 'come on' me, Kakarot! I'm going to go train," he said as he walked away.
Bulma sighed. "As stubborn as ever. Well, we'll see you later, guys," Bulma said with a wave.
"Yeah. I've got to make a crib for Littace anyway," Goku said as he prepared to use Instant Transmission, his arm wrapped around his wife and son.
"Oh, that reminds me," Bulma said as she dug into her pocket and threw a capsule.
Caulifla easily caught it. "What is it?"
"A Capsule Corp. crib. Call it your baby shower gift, since you made us skip that thing altogether," Bulma said with a disapproving smile.
"It sounded lame to me. Anyway, thanks for Littace's first bed. Later." With that, the Son Family teleported away.
"You think we'll get to see baby Littace again," Bulla asked.
"We'd better," Bulma said as she walked to her lab. "That kid really was cute. Looked a lot like his dad."
It's been about six months since Littace was born.
The Saiyans were having a much easier time taking care of the baby than anyone expected. Even changing his diapers wasn't that hard for them. Though, Littace might be the only baby in the world whose diapers are made of wild animal pelts.
He wasn't much of a crier either. He was seen laughing more than anything. One of his favorite past times was watching his parents spar. He also had fun playing with his dad, who usually played with his son by forming balls of ki and making them fly around the baby.
Littace even helps the parents farm. The couple couldn't help but laugh when Littace once pulled out a carrot that was literally twice his size.
The biggest problem was thought to have been the full moon, but Littace was usually asleep whenever it was out. However, one time, Goku and Caulifla accidentally let their guard down, allowing the baby to crawl out the open door.
At first, Littace was rampaging around as a Great Ape, but his parents were able to easily calm him down as Great Apes themselves. They even sat around as a family, looking up towards the moon. A couple of campers actually recorded the sight, making the Son Family a living, Mt. Paozu legend.
All in all, they were a pretty happy family.
It was now the night of the end of Littace's sixth month. Caulifla was out hunting for some late night, nocturnal dinner while Goku volunteered to stay behind with their child. He and Littace were sitting on their roof as they looked up at the starlit, night sky.
Goku was smiling at the sky when he felt his son wiggling around. He looked down to see Littace actually reaching out towards the stars and the crescent moon. "You wanna go up there, Littace?"
The baby looked up at his father and smiled. "Ah!"
"Alright." Goku then stood up. "Get ready. One... two..." Right when Goku was about to take off, he saw a shining light. He looked down towards it to see that it was his son's ki.
"AIIIIII!"
"WHOAAAAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOO," Goku went as his son took off, taking his father along for a ride.
It took a bit of strength from him, but Goku was able to stop his son. He looked down at the laughing baby in shock. "You... can... FLY! That's awesome! You can't even walk yet, and you're already flying like a pro! Your mom has got to see this!"
Goku then began to concentrate. "CAULIFLA! IT'S ME! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!"
As soon as the thought left his mind, Caulifla appeared before her husband and son using Instant Transmission. "Alright, Goku, what's got you so excited this ti- Why is our son in space?"
Goku gave his signature smile before he looked down at Littace. "Hey, Littace, you see who that is?"
Littace looked and smiled before reaching towards his mother. "Mama! Ma!"
Caulifla smiled. "As cute as it is to hear our kid speak, is it really worth doing it in-"
"Now fly over to mama," Goku said as he released Littace.
"Come again? Goku, he can't even walk. How is he going to be able to-"
"Mama!" With ki bursting from his little body, Littace slammed into his mother, winding the powerful Saiyan woman.
She groaned before she lifted her laughing son. "Y-You can already fly?!" Caulifla then gained a giant smirk. "That's my son, for ya! It usually takes kids years to learn how to fly on their own! Look at you, doing it like it's nothing. Tryin' to make your mama proud, eh?" Caulifla then brought her son in for a hug, scratching him under his chin, making the baby giggle. "You've already been doing that, son."
"Littace really is amazing, isn't he," Goku said as he flew over to his family.
Caulifla smiled at him with a raised eyebrow. "Of course he is. He's our son, isn't he?"
Goku laughed. "He really is."
Caulifla then released Littace to let him fly around on his own. Goku flew next to her and wrapped an arm around her, hugging her close to him.
"Watching him is getting me excited for when he's old enough to start training."
"I bet. With us as teachers, he could probably take down guys like Jiren easily."
"Or maybe even guys like Moro."
"That planet eater that you and Vegeta took down with the Galactic Patrol?"
"Yeah."
Caulifla stared at her husband with a smile before looking back at her son. "Yeah. He just might."
"He might even need to." Caulifla looked to see her husband with his rare, serious expression. "Moro's still out there. What's more, we have no idea what kind of monsters are out in not just Universe Six or Seven, but the entire multiverse. You and I won't be around forever to protect it."
"True, but the multiverse will have Littace."
Goku then smiled. "Yeah, it will."
Littace then laughed, catching the attention of his parents. He was flying towards what looked like shooting stars. One of the stars went towards the Earth, which Littace eagerly chased after.
"Oh, man! Littace," Goku yelled out as he and his wife chased after their son.
"We're coming in hot," Caulifla said.
"And he's still laughing! I know I should be worried, but I'm really proud of him right now," Goku said.
"I'm in the same boat! Pride later, saving our son comes first!" Caulifla placed her fingers on her forehead. "Dammit! He's going too fast! Instant Transmission won't work in this situation!"
"Well, guess I'd better use the turbo!"
"Turbo!? What tur-"
Before Caulifla could finish her question, Goku shot two blasts of ki from the palms of his hands, vastly increasing his speed. He was catching up to the little bullet he called his son. He was then reaching out to him.
"Al...most... theeeeeeere... GOTCHA!"
The baby was laughing while happily waving his arms while being hugged by his father.
Goku couldn't help but laugh. "Happy-go-lucky, eh, Litt-" Goku was interrupted when he smashed into a building, back first. He didn't realize he was still falling when he caught his son. "Ow."
"What the hell," yelled a familiar voice.
When the dust cleared, Goku saw both Vegeta and Bulma. He coughed a bit before he waved. "Hey, guys."
"Goku, why the hell are you smashing through my roof," Bulma yelled.
"Sorry about that. I had to catch this little guy."
"Oh, you are NOT putting the blame on your kid," Bulma yelled. "I know Saiyan babies are a handful. Trust me, I raised two of them! Still, there's no way even YOUR son could be that much trouble."
"Oh, he isn't any trouble at all. He's just a little too strong for his own good."
"What are you blabbering on about, Kakarot?"
Goku gave his usual laugh before he looked down at Littace, who was looking back up at him. "Hey, Littace, do you see Uncle Vegeta over there?"
"How many times do I have to say it, Kakarot!? I do not accept your spawn as a member of my-"
"Go fly to Uncle Vegeta, Littace," Goku said in a playful tone.
Littace just laughed before he was surrounded by ki and slammed right into Vegeta's gut.
The powerful Saiyan coughed before groaning in pain. Grabbing the baby, he held up the smiling infant, looking at him with wide and shocked eyes. "What power."
"Right?! I can't wait to train him!"
"You?! Train MY nephew?! MY GODSON?! I think not!"
"Hah?! B-But Vegeta-"
"No buts, Kakarot! This boy is the true heir of the Saiyan race! As such, he must be properly trained in the ways of the elite!"
"But he's my son!"
"Well, according to you, he's my nephew, as well as my godson!"
"I want to be the one who trains him! Come on, Vegeta! I never had a chance to train my kids properly! Chichi always made them study all the time! I've got so much to teach and show him!"
"Well, I have more! He needs to know about his heritage, gain Saiyan honor, and learn to be proud of his mighty race!"
The two Saiyans continued to argue among each other, with Littace looking confused the entire time. Bulma sighed as she placed a hand on her forehead. She was about to break the two up.
However, someone else beat her to the punch, literally.
While he was still arguing with Goku about who would be a better teacher for little Littace, Vegeta was punched in the face with enough force for him to accidentally toss the baby. He groaned while rubbing his sore cheek before looking at his assailant.
He saw an annoyed looking Caulifla, holding Littace in one arm with her other on her hip. "Would you stop fighting over my son already?"
"Caulifla! Great timing! Can you convince Vegeta that I'm the one who's going to train Littace?"
"Hah? What are you on about? Of course, you're going to train him. You're his old man, aren't you? A father should teach his son everything he knows."
"Yes," Goku yelled as he jumped in victory.
"Caulifla, think this through," Vegeta yelled. "Do you really want a fool like Kakarot teaching your son?!"
"Watch it, Pops. That's my husband you're talking about."
"Then you should know what I mean! Kakarot knows nothing about the Saiyan race! The boy should know his history as he trains!"
Caulifla stared at Vegeta before she sighed. "Can't argue with that. Alright, fine. How's this?" Caulifla raised three fingers. "Three months. That's how much you can train him for when he's old enough."
"WHAT!? I NEED FAR MORE THAN A MEASLY THREE MONTHS TO TRAIN THE BOY!"
"It's per year."
"IT DOESN'T MATTER! I NEED MORE TIME THAN THAT!"
Caulifla groaned. "You should be grateful I gave you that much to begin with. Look, here's the deal: Goku trains him for the first three months of the year, I train him for the next three months, and you train him for the three months after I'm done. The last three months of the year will be his choice. He will choose who he trains with. Sound fair?"
"Sounds fair to me," Goku said with a smile.
"Tch. Better than nothing," Vegeta said. "I will make sure the boy wishes to use his final months training with me."
"Heh, you wish. Kid will obviously want to train with his awesome mom," Caulifla said with a smirk.
"Mind if I teach him a few things?"
The Saiyans looked at a smiling, arm-crossed Bulma.
"You," Caulifla asked. "Bulma, we're three of the strongest fighters in the entire multiverse. Not sure there's much you can teach him."
"Hey," Bulma went in an annoyed tone. "Did you forget that I'm the smartest woman in the world, quite possibly the universe? Littace should have a bit of book smarts."
"The Son Family already has a Gohan, lady," Caulifla said in annoyance.
"And look at how far Gohan's brains got him. He lasted longer in the Tournament than you did, right?"
Caulifla got visibly annoyed. "Alright, you got me. You can share Vegeta's time, and if Littace wants to 'train' with you after that, I'll let him. Happy?"
"Very."
"Hey, maybe he should train with others, too." Caulifla looked at her smiling husband. "Like Piccolo, or Kale, or even Whis!"
Caulifla took a moment to think. "Yeah, I guess he could learn a thing or two from teachers other than us." Caulifla then smiled down at the baby in her arms. "Looks like you're going to have a fun time growing up, eh, Littace," she asked her son as she lovingly rubbed his nose with hers, making the baby laugh adorably.
"Man, I already can't wait," Goku said as he walked up and rubbed the laughing baby's head.
"I'm already betting he's going to be a handful," Bulma said as she walked up and poked the baby's nose.
"Of course, he will. He's a Saiyan warrior," Vegeta said, his arms crossed, with a small smile.
With all the attention he was getting, Littace continued to laugh, his cute baby voice warming up the whole room.
"Hey, that's a nice breeze," Goku said.
"Way to ruin the mood, Goku," Bulma said as she glanced at him before looking at the hole in her ceiling. The sight of it made her sigh.
Six years later.
Vegeta was standing in a field, holding onto what looked like a stopwatch. What sounded like a jet flying caught his attention. He looked in time to see a boy who was only as tall as his waist land before him. The boy gave Vegeta a beaming smile. "How was that, Uncle," he asked in an excited tone.
"It was well done, Littace. You broke your own record by point five seconds."
"OH, YEAH! I WENT AROUND THE WORLD IN 9.2 SECONDS," Littace cheered as he jumped around.
Indeed, the boy was Son Littace, son of Goku and Caulifla. He looked exactly like his father. Almost had the same hair, though Littace's was a bit spikier. In fact, it looked like a mix between his father's and mother's hairstyles. He had bangs like his mother, but his hair still resembled his father more.
At age six, he has already shown to have incredible power. He even has a few wins against his parents and Vegeta. It was during one of their training sessions that he unlocked Super Saiyan. After that, his parents wasted no time in teaching him how to turn Super Saiyan 2 and 3. Oddly enough, he was able to learn Super Saiyan 4 pretty easily as well.
His parents guessed it was because Littace was so used to the Great Ape form. Ever since his first conscious night, the family spent every full moon as Great Apes, looking up at the moon, teaching Littace how to better control his power, and even sparring a bit. Littace was basically a master of the Great Ape form by the time he learned Super Saiyan. As such, it was relatively simple for him to become a Super Saiyan 4.
And what an incredible form he took. His form looked exactly like his father's, with his hair being just a bit longer and fuller. Seeing their son in this form was one of the best moments of the parents lives. It was another reason to be proud of their young genius of a child.
"What are you doing, boy?"
Littace jolted a bit before he looked at Vegeta nervously.
The Saiyan prince gave the young man a stern look. "You are a Saiyan elite. Do not disgrace yourself by acting so childishly."
Littace laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head in an embarrassed manner. "Sorry, Uncle."
"Hmph. It's fine. Now, let us continue your training. You will go in the Gravity Chamber set at six hundred Gs while wearing-"
"Yo, Vegeta! Littace!"
"Dammit," Vegeta growled.
Littace, on the other hand, looked excited. "Hey, dad," he called with a wave.
Goku landed before the two. "Yo. Havin' fun, kiddo?"
"You bet! Uncle Vegeta was about to have me train in the Gravity Chamber!"
"Hey, that does sound fun. I guess I can wait a bit longer."
"Wait," Littace asked with a confused tilt of his head.
"It's the beginning of the month. Vegeta's time ended yesterday."
"It did? Huh. I didn't notice. I guess I was having too much fun."
"Yeah, training does that. Well, this is the beginning of your 'free training' months. You can pretty much do whatever you want. I was just hoping you'd want to train with your dad again," Goku said with a laugh.
"Sure! Though, I wanna do that Gravity Chamber training Uncle had planned first," Littace answered with a smile.
"Yeah. No problem. I can- hm?"
"Hm? Something wrong, da- Eh? Doesn't that energy belong to..."
The three male Saiyans looked up into the sky. Flying towards them was what seemed to be a woman. When the object landed, it was easy to tell that it was one, and a beautiful one at that. "I thought I sensed you three," said the sensual voice.
Littace had a giant smile on his face as he lunged towards the beauty. "BIG SIS!"
The beauty laughed as she caught and spun Littace around. "Hey, Littace."
"What's up, Pan," Goku said with a wave.
"Hey, grandpa. Hey, Vegeta."
Pan had grown into a beautiful, young woman. She was as tall as Vegeta (including his hair), had a well-toned body due to keeping up with her training, a tanned complexion like her grandfathers, and had a bombshell body. She allowed her hair to grow to her neck, giving her a more mature look. She was currently wearing a black coat with a white shirt that hugged her large breasts, and a gray skirt that went down to her knees, showing off her toned legs. Topping off her outfit was a pair of black boots that were well polished. Many young men fell for her instantly, but she's off the market.
"So, where's Uub? You two have been hanging out with each other a lot lately, right," Goku asked.
Pan giggled. She couldn't help but enjoy the fact that her grandfather was the only one who didn't know. "He said he needed to go back to his village for a bit. Help with the crops you two grew."
Goku laughed. "He always was caring for his home. So, what brings you here?"
"I'm holding it."
Everyone looked at Littace, who was still in Pan's arms. He looked confused until he pointed at himself.
"Wait, you want to train him, too," Goku asked. "Wow. I thought it was weird when Gohan said he wanted to train him, but now you?"
"Train," Pan asked with a raised eyebrow. "My dad used his accumulated off-days and vacations to teach Littace for those three months."
"What? But that's what Bulma likes to do."
"Wait, have you only been training him," Pan asked.
"Of course," Goku said with his usual, toothy smile.
Pan then looked at Vegeta.
"Of course I've been training him. He's a full-breed Saiyan warrior. The boy needs proper training in order to become the elite it's so obvious he will be."
"And I want to grow strong enough to beat my parents and Uncle Vegeta at once," Littace said as he raised his fist excitedly.
Goku laughed. "That's my Littace!"
Vegeta smiled in pride. "A fine goal, indeed, Littace. You truly are the pride and future of the Saiyan race."
Littace's smile grew.
Pan, on the other hand, sighed. "I should have known." She then perked up. "That's it. I'm taking him."
"Huh," Goku went.
"What do you mean," Vegeta asked.
"He's letting his childhood slip away. I'm going to make sure he enjoys being a kid. Summer might be over, but I know the best place to start this kid's three-month childhood vacation." With that, Pan took off like a jet.
Goku gave an impressed whistle. "She really is keeping up with her training. I think she's faster than even Littace."
Vegeta stared at the direction Pan flew off with his arms crossed. "When my time comes again next year, I'm increasing his workload so that he can surpass such speeds."
Goku gave his usual laugh. "I'm countin' on ya, buddy."
"Hmph."
Littace blinked twice before he looked up at Pan. "Where are we going?"
"The best place for a kid to be a kid." Littace looked forward. What he saw made his eyes twinkle. "Satan Land," Pan said proudly.
The Mr. Satan theme park was huge. Roller Coasters, food stands and rides as far as the eye can see. One of the biggest rides was a Ferris Wheel with Mr. Satan's smiling face on it, the man holding up a peace sign, with the wheel itself being his afro. Another ride that caught Littace's eye was a Swing Ride in the image of Buu. His friendly, pudgy, smiling face was the base of the ride, while the top of his head held the swings. The smell of food rushed up Littace's nose, making him more and more excited.
The two landed right in the middle of the park. Everyone was too busy having fun to notice them. Obviously, the first thing the two did was eat. They shared a cotton candy first. The next thing they had was ice cream. Pan giggled when she saw some ice cream on her "uncle's" nose. She couldn't stop herself from wiping the treat with one finger and eating it.
Little did she know that she got ice cream on her cheek, which Littace kissed off, without realizing it was a kiss, of course. Pan couldn't help but think how cute Littace could be.
One of the first attractions they went to was a haunted house, where Pan forbid Littace from using any ki or martial arts. To make that easier, she said it was part of his training to see if he had any self-control, which Littace easily fell for.
It was honestly hard for him not to react. Every time something popped out, he wanted to punch, kick, or blast it. Still, the challenge of holding himself back was oddly fun for him. He felt like he was winning against himself. However, the most fun came at the end of the attraction.
Both Pan and Littace were actually able to scare the employees by jumping at them before they could even try, making the scariest faces they could muster. They both got a good laugh at the employee's surprised scream.
The two continued to enjoy the park, going on rides, eating more food, and playing a few games. Littace even won his "Big Sis" a giant teddy bear that was almost as big as the boy himself.
The two decided to end their time with a ride on the Ferris Wheel. Littace had his face against the glass when they were at the very top of the ride.
"Wow. It's so pretty." Since he was raised in the mountains, Littace has had next to no chance of seeing such a sight. It was pretty much a new concept to him, seeing a theme park lit up at night.
Pan smiled at the boy before she sighed. "Littace?"
"Hm?"
Her smile never went away. "I know you're a full-breed Saiyan, unlike me and your brothers. I know you genuinely love training and fighting." She then leaned forward. "But you're still young. Your childhood will be gone before you realize it. You need to take a break from fighting and just be a kid every once in a while. You have plenty of time to become the fighter grandpa and Vegeta and your mom want you to be, but these childhood years are fleeting."
Littace just nodded.
"You know what I'm going to do for you?"
"Hm?"
Pan gave a toothy smile. "I'm going to make sure you have plenty of childhood memories. Grandpa did plenty of things with me as a kid. He didn't just train me. He took me to the beach, to the snowy mountains, and even to this theme park. He definitely took me to any fighting tournaments. They were some of the best moments of my life." Pan then leaned forward, shine in her eye with a beaming smile. "That's why I'm going to make sure you have just as much fun as I did. It might not be the right time for the beach, but it'll soon be perfect to throw snowballs around."
"Snowballs? Oh, like what me and dad did last year?"
Pan giggled. "So he does let you be a kid. Though, I bet you two haven't scratched the surface of fun in the snow. I bet all you did was throw snowballs."
"You can do more with snow?"
Pan sighed as she shook her head with a smile. "I have so much to show you." It was now their turn to get off the ride. Pan then stood up and held out her hand. "Let's get you home, okay?"
"Mm," Littace went with a smile as he took Pan's hand.
As the two were walking through the crowd, something caught the young Saiyan's eye. "Ooooh."
"So she just grabbed him and flew off," Caulifla asked before she took a bite of her fish.
"Yup. She was seriously fast, too. If you blinked, you would have missed her. I'm proud of her, keeping up her training like that," Goku said with a smile before he started to eat his fish.
The couple was sitting at their dining room table, eating the giant tunas Caulifla caught.
"I'm home," rang Littace's voice.
"Hm. Speak of the devil," Caulifla said a she got up and walked to the door. "So, Littace did you. . . Wow."
When Caulifla opened the door, she saw Littace with two inflatables that were taller than he was. They looked to be about Goku's height. They had the image of a green bug man that Caulifla thought she recognized. There was also a ton of park food next to him, from popcorn to turkey legs. There was also plenty of sweets, like cotton candy, candied apples, and churros.
Pan was next to him, a sweatdrop on her forehead as she laughed nervously, holding onto the teddy bear Littace won her.
"Guess that answers the question of whether you had fun or not," Caulifla said.
"Mom, look what I won you and dad! I got you punching dummies of a monster Mr. Satan beat years ago to save the world," Littace said in excitement.
"I see," Caulifla said with crossed arms and a smile. "And a good amount of food, too."
"Hey, what smells good," Goku asked as he walked out.
"Think fast, dad," Littace said as he threw something at Goku.
He easily caught it. "Ooh, turkey leg," Goku said before he began to eat. He then looked to see what Littace brought. "Oh, boy, fifths! Let's eat!"
"Yeah," Littace went as he and his father jumped into the pile of food.
Caulifla chuckled at the scene with a shake of her head before she caught a corn-dog by the stick between her fingers. "I take it he had fun," Caulifla asked as she ate her treat, not looking away from her husband and son.
"Yeah. Sorry I didn't get your permission first, Caulifla," Pan said with a bow.
"Ah, whatever. Kid's allowed to have some fun every once in a while. He has plenty of days to train, so letting him go to some amusement park one day is no big deal."
"Oh, in that case..." Caulifla looked at Pan, who clapped her hands together in a pleading way. "Can I please take Littace out to play when it snows on Mt. Paozu?"
"Huh?"
"I want to make as many childhood memories with him as I can, and he only knows how to throw snowballs. I can teach him plenty of different ways to enjoy the snow."
"Uh... okay," Caulifla went with a raised eyebrow before she finished off her corn dog just in time to catch a candied apple.
"Also, when summer comes around... can I please take him to the beach?"
Caulifla stared at her step-granddaughter before she just sighed. "Just a fair warning, that's part of Vegeta's three months. I honestly don't mind you taking my son to the beach, but you need to convince him into letting you do that."
"Don't worry. I think I can handle Vegeta," Pan said with a smile. "Also... would you like to come with us, along with grandpa?"
Caulifla glanced at Pan before she looked back at her family. "I'm pretty sure none of us have swimsuits."
Pan's smile brightened. "That's where I come in." Pan then grabbed Caulifla's free hand. "I'll definitely get you a swimsuit so fitting, that grandpa will fall for you all over again."
Caulifla looked at Pan with half-lidded eyes. "Are you trying to keep me awake?"
"Huh?"
"I barely get enough sleep as it is. If he falls in love with me a second time, I can kiss a good night's sleep goodbye. What's more, Littace might become the older brother of a whole litter." Pan turned deep red when she realized the meaning behind Caulifla's words. "Ah, whatever. Not like I can go to the beach in my gi or my old outfit. Sure, we can go get some swimsuits."
"R-Right."
"So, you gonna eat or what," Caulifla asked before she finished her candied apple.
"No, thank you. I'm only a quarter Saiyan. I had enough to eat at the park."
"Suit yourself," Caulifla said as caught something else. "Oh, nice. A turkey leg." She then took a bite before walking over to the dwindling pile. "Oh, and Pan?"
"Yeah?"
"Keep showing my son a good time. Goku and I aren't much for stuff like parks, so it's good that Littace has someone that'll let him be a kid every once in a while. I'm counting on you." She then ate the rest of her turkey leg before jumping into the pile, playfully fighting with her family over the leftover food.
Pan stared at the rowdy family before she smiled. "You can count on me, Caulifla."
And so, the day ended as peacefully as ever. The Son family had a good meal... and a good fight afterward.
The life of Littace will be filled with quite a few interesting adventures in the future, fighting his parents' old enemies, demons from the Saiyan's past, and new enemies in the coming future. But, for now, Littace can just enjoy his peaceful life of being the son of the strongest Saiyans in the multiverse, training, fishing, and training. In short...
He can just enjoy being Goku's True Heir.
A/N: Hm? Eh? That's how this reality's story is going to end? Hm. Looks like it continues a bit in the future. Huh, looks kinda like an anthology. Looks like that boy will be fighting quite a few monsters in the coming- Hey. Most of these villains come from different timelines. Dammit. What is Chronoa and her Time Patrol doing?
*sigh* This job can be an absolute pain in the ass at times. Well, at least no damage has been done to reality aga-
Spoke too goddamn soon. Another alternate reality. Perfect. Alright, what is it this time?
Hm, seems Littace is no longer the only "true heir". The mother of the child seems to be as powerful as Caulifla, maybe even more so. Eh, we'll investigate that reality some other time. I have other realities to attend to.
Until next time, fellow Kai's and their mortal gue- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! DRAVEN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY REALITIES?! Ah, whatever. It's too much of a pain to fix. Seriously, what is wrong with some of you Kai's? Don't you have realities of your own to improve?
