Chapter Thirty: Prom and Problem Pregnancies
"Have you asked anyone yet?" snickered Maddox.
Henry glared at him. "Why would any seventeen year old want to date a fourteen year old?" grumbled Henry lying back on the sand. They were at Kame House for the day.
"Age is just a number. Your parents are proof of that," shrugged Maddox.
"Yeah, but my dad is older. Women like older men. I'm some young kid they all will probably laugh at," mumbled Henry. According to their deal, Henry had to find a date to the end of year formal.
"Doesn't everyone know you're the heir to the Capsule Corp fortune?" Maddox asked. He knew Henry didn't like to mention being rich, but if the girls at his school knew it would make it far more likely they would go out with him.
"Meh, I think the ones that pay attention do. It's not exactly something I tell people about," sighed Henry.
"Okay is there anyone you like that you think knows?" suggested Maddox.
"There's this girl Mina. She's pretty and in a few of my classes," Henry smiled remembering the blonde.
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Not that I know of, but I don't exactly pay close attention," admitted Henry.
"Oh well I say go for it," laugheded Maddox.
xxXXxx
"Bra why did I need to rush over?" asked Pan as Bra pulled her inside and slammed the door.
"I took a pregnancy test this morning, and it was positive," Bra growled in a hushed voice.
Pan's eyes went wide. She hugged Bra tight. "Are you happy?" asked Pan unsure of how exact to proceed.
"Well yes, but I am also very panicked. My child is going to be a quarter saiyan a quarter human and half alien! And how am I not dead! Ivar has been away for almost a month," Bra continued looking upset.
"We can ask your dad on the dead thing later… Why are you freaked out about the alien thing? What type of alien even is Ivar?" Pan asked trying to remember if he mentioned it back when they first met.
Bra had a guilt-ridden look on her face. "I have no idea. I've never bothered to ask him, and it's a little late now," Bra admitted letting out a slight groan as she sat down.
"Well that makes this more interesting," Pan was now trying not to laugh.
"Yeah laugh it up!" snapped Bra.
xxXXxx
"Hi Mina," Henry waved to the blonde. She smiled awkwardly. "I was wondering if you'd like to go to the end of year formal with me?" Henry asked quickly fearing he would lose his nerve.
"I actually already have a date, sorry," she seemed sincere, but that didn't help the tightness in Henry's chest. Henry turned to leave. "But my friend Haruhi doesn't have a date yet," she blurted out. Henry stopped. He turned to see Mina shoving forward a tall skinny girl with black hair and large brown eyes.
"You wouldn't by any chance want to go with me, would you?" Henry asked half-heartedly.
She nodded quickly ripping a piece of paper out of her notebook to write her phone number on.
xxXXxx
Bulma and Vegeta both stared at their daughter. She had just announced that she was pregnant. Pan was still over at Capsule Corp watching things unfold.
"I'm getting another grandbaby!" Bulma yelled grabbing Bra into a hug. "Are you feeling alright with Ivar away?" she was now holding her daughter at arm's length to get a better look at her.
"She doesn't need him," scoffed Vegeta looking mildly annoyed.
"Why? I thought saiyan pregnancies needed more energy?" asked Pan from her spot on the wall.
"Only if the child's sire is a saiyan," Vegeta rolled his eyes.
"So if I had had children with someone besides Trunks, I would have been fine?" she asked giving him a hard glare. No one had ever mentioned this before.
"Daddy, do you know what type of alien Ivar is?" asked Bra relieved to hear she wouldn't have any saiyan problems.
"No I don't," he gave his daughter a knowing look.
"Well he's a humanoid kind," commented Bulma realizing what was going on.
"I guess I'll just have to ask after I tell him," grumbled Bra.
xxXXxx
"You got rejected," Maddox laughed.
"I got a date, so who cares," shrugged Henry. "Now I have to get a suit," he groaned.
"I thought you had one?" asked Maddox hoping off Henry's bed to look in his closet.
"No, I grew out of it," explained Henry.
"That stinks. So what's the girl you did get a date with look like?" Maddox plopped back down on the bad to talk with his friend.
"She's got black hair, brown eyes, skinny, and she's tall," explained Henry spinning slightly in his desk chair.
"How tall is she? Taller than you?" Maddox was now sitting up curious.
"Yeah, she tall for a girl. Maybe five ten," guessed Henry. Maddox started laughing. "It's not a big deal she's four years older than me, of course she's taller!" Henry rolled his eyes at his friend.
xxXXxx
"I've missed you," Ivar pulled Bra in for a kiss.
Once she pulled away, she made a face. "Ivar… I'm kind of pregnant," she whisper almost hoping he wouldn't hear it.
Ivar smile didn't falter. "That's good," he touched her shoulder softly.
"You wanted us to have a baby together!" Bra nearly yelled.
"If you did not reproduce by your fortieth year, you could have died," he shrugged. Bra stared at him wide eyed thinking over what he said.
"Okay… Next thing, Ivar what are you?" she asked trying not to look embarrassed or guilty.
"I'm a man?" he looked at her questioningly.
"No like what kind of alien are you… I want to know what my child is going to be half of," grumbled Bra not liking how direct she had to be.
"Oh, Vedriangeants," he answered. Bra stared wide-eyed. Like she knew what the hell a Vedraing whatever was!
"And what the hell is that!" she snapped.
"Well we look smiliar to humans, but we tend to be much larger and stronger with longer lifespans," elaborated Ivar looking confused why Bra was upset.
"You're actually not that much bigger than a human," Bra smiled feeling relieved.
"Yes, but I'm very small for my race," he commented.
The relief was instantly gone. "How big are most Vedraingerrs?" she demanded.
"It's Vedraingeants. The average male stands seven feet nine inches tall," he corrected.
"Oh god! In less than eight months, I'm going to give birth to a giant," she groaned. Ivar chuckled. "You think this is funny!" she growled at him.
"No. Just it won't be eight months. My kind carry their young four about the equivalent of twenty of your Earth months," he explained.
"I'm going to be pregnant forever!" she groaned snuggling his chest with a pout.
xxXXxx
"Dad, couldn't Aunt Bra just get me a suit," groaned Henry following after Trunks into the store.
"Aunt Bra is busy," Trunks replied.
"Oh yeah, she's confronting her baby daddy," snickered Henry. Trunks tried not to laugh.
"Just come on," Trunks led him through to the store to the suits. Thankfully, Bra had already called and had a few suits pulled.
xxXXxx
Cami and Litta were running through the living room playing together. Pan smiled pretending to read her book.
Trunks and Henry walked in. Henry was carrying a hanging bag with his new suit in it. The girls nearly knocked him over.
"Girls be careful," warned Pan getting up to greet her husband.
"Henry what's that?" asked Cami poking the bag.
"It's his new suit," Trunks answered scooping Cami into a hug.
"Why did you need a suit?" asked Litta.
"Because I need one to wear to the formal dance my school is having," Henry replied wishing everyone wasn't so interested.
"Maddox said you got a date with some girl who's taller than you," snickered Cora.
"Tell Maddox I'm not telling anything private again," growled Henry.
"Do you love her? Cause if you love her it doesn't matter what she looks like," chimed in Litta with a soft smile.
"No I don't love her, but she's nice," smiled Henry.
"Then why are you going to the dance? You don't seem very happy about it," Litta gave him a wondering look.
"Maddox and I made a deal, so I have to go to the dance," sighed Henry. Litta was right. He wasn't very excited about going to this dance.
"You always do stuff cause of deals!" exclaimed Cami rolling her eyes.
xxXXxx
"So how long are you going to be pregnant for?" asked Rini trying not to act freaked out by Bra's news.
"Ivar says most hybrids take about sixteen months, but it could be more or less. I am personally freaking out. Ivar thinks we are right on track like he was expecting this or something. Guess how big these babys are!" she rambled on in a panick.
"Uh, twelve pounds," guessed Rini.
"If I'm lucky, it will be that small. Ivar was fourteen pounds when he was born, and he was a runt apparently," Bra groaned.
"Bra breath, you will be fine. You can always have a c section," suggested Rini hoping it would help.
"True they can just cut the baby out. What if I'm a terrible mom?" Bra had now moved on to panic over a new issue.
"Honey, don't worry. We all will be here to help you. Think positive, won't it be fun to have a baby of your own?" Rini tried to bring back the positive.
"I always wanted a little girl, but Henry and Bar were both the cutest baby boys," she smiled thinking back to when each of the boys were born.
"I'm sure you could handle a boy or a girl," assured Rini.
xxXXxx
"Mom how do I look?" asked Henry standing in the kitchen for his mother to check him over before he went to the dance.
"So handsome!" Pan dropped what she was cooking to fawn over her little boy.
"Mommm," he groaned.
"You're meeting her at the school?" Pan asked watching her son fidget nervously.
"Yeah," he messed with his hair wishing he could get out of this. He never went to dances or parties.
"Hey little man!" called Trunks coming into the kitchen to check on him.
"Hey dad," he half smiled.
"Cami and Cora got you something for your date," grinned Trunks pulling a corsage from the fridge.
"Thanks," mumbled Henry looking at the pink and blue flowers.
xxXXxx
His date was waiting for him when he was dropped off by his father. She was wearing a fitted light blue dress and heels that seemed to make her tower over him. She smiled taking the corsage then clinging to his arm. Henry blushed at her closeness.
The two danced to a few songs, but mostly sat off to the side.
"Haruhi. Sorry, I'm no fun," sighed Henry.
She smiled at him. "Of course, I'm having fun," she leaned against his arm snuggling.
"Oh okay then," he was blushing again. Toward the end of the night, she started snuggling closer. It almost seemed like she was trying to snuggle onto his lap. "Haruhi, what are you," he was cut off. She planted a hard kiss on his lips. Henry had never kissed anyone before. She was a bit pushy, but it still felt nice. They ended up making out for the rest of the night.
