"Krillin I fucking hate you!" 18 screamed gripping the sheets as sweat dropped down her face. The pain was just unbearable, and she thought what Gero had put her through was so much worse.
"Almost there 18," Bulma said from between her legs. "Push!"
Krillin watched from a distance with tears in his eyes and silently encouraging his wife while trying not to get blasted.
18 screamed and pushed with all her strength.
"I see the head! Here she comes!" Bulma cried. "The Android circuitry is not even touching her!"
18 pushes hard one more time. "Got her!" Bulma cried pulling the baby out and lightly slapping her little buttcheek.
The baby's wails filled the air and 18 sighed in relief as Krillin started sobbing.
"It's a girl!" Bulma said wrapping the small blonde baby in blanket while gently wiping her face.
"Marron," 18 breathed as she took the baby and cradled her closely. She couldn't help but fall in love almost instantly.
Krillin stepped forward. "Marron Lazuli," he said. "That's a fitting middle name for her."
18's eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Krillin who just beaming.
"My girls," he said breathlessly gently caressing the small baby.
"Who love you very much," 18 said with a wide grin.

17 landed on the Kame island and glanced at 18 who was sitting in the hammock cradling a small baby to her chest and breast feeding her.
17 approached slowly and peeked at the baby without seeing too much of 18's breast. Noseless, blonde, gorgeous and with the same little dimple on her cheek that Lamel and their mother had. In fact she looked just liked Lamel when he was a baby.
"She looks like Lamel and mother."
18 jumped slightly. "Kami 17 you scared me."
She did a double take. "17!"
He chuckled and put an affectionate hand on her shoulder. "I just got back from France decided to say hi," he said. "I figured you were with the mini-monk. I didn't think you had a baby with him."
She looked down at the baby and smiled. "She has their dimple."
"And she shares the hair with you and father."
18 smiled.
"Too bad she didn't get anything from her most handsome uncle," 17 said with a grin.
"She got his attitude," 18 scoffed. "She keeps us up half the night."
17 chuckled. "I wish she would've gotten at least my nose."
18 rolled her eyes. "Shut up."
"She got his eyes too," 17 commented as 18 pulled her way and quickly covered herself up.
"That's the best part," 18 said with a smile handing 17 the baby.
17 cradled the child gently in his arms and grinned. "She's a beautiful child 18. Congratulations."
"Her name is Marron."
17 nodded at her. "I'm back in Japan now."
18 smiled. "You are?"
"Got my degree in Animal science and got a job as a park ranger nearby protecting animals from poachers," 17 said handing 18 the baby. After 18 took the baby he handed her a small piece of paper.
"There's my number so we can keep in touch," 17 said.
18 smiled. "I'll make sure to do that."
"See you soon sis," he said before flying into the air and disappearing.

The picnic was in full swing. Everyone was there including 17, Jiren, Toppo, Brianne and her girls, the wolf brothers, and several gods of destruction.
Ever since the tournament of power where Goku wished for all the universes to be united as one, Capsule Corp has been the main party site almost every week.
Every picnic went similarly the same. The gods of destruction would fuss over all the amazing food, Brianne would bug Chichi about her love with Goku until Chichi snapped at her, Jiren and Goku and Vegeta would always spar, and the children would run all around the yard playing.
"I have a little surprise for you all today," Bulma said standing on top of a table. Everyone quieted down to give her their attention. Even the children including 17's who started coming with 17 to the events along with his wife, stopped in their spots and listened.
"As you all know our universes have all become one and many of us travel great distances to visit each other and of course we would love to go visit your planets too," Bulma said. "My scientists and I have been working on a way to make a ship that can travel across the universe in mere minutes."
All the people murmured excitedly.
Bulma smiled. "Well we did it. The manufacturers created a line of ships that can travel across the universe in just minutes. Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale couldn't make it today and now because of this ship they will always be able to come."
The whole backyard applauded and cheered as Bulma took a dramatic bow.
"I have had built ships for every universe that is now part of universe 7," Bulma said. "I sent them ships to a prestigious artist who painted and designed each ship for all of you."
"Presenting, the Capsule Corp universe 7 travel fleet!" Bulma cried as Capsule Corp workers threw several Capsules and large sleek ships appeared. Each ship was painted in eccentric bright colors that were blended to perfection. Each ship had the numbers of their former universes and a small collage of all the fighters that represented them in the tournament of power.
The party goers cheered again as Gohan stepped forward and said, "wow Bulma these are beautiful! You really did find the best artist!"
"The artist is here too, please everyone let's give him a big round of applause!"
The very tall artist walked in with a smile. He had silky jet black hair that was smoothed back and piercing icy blue eyes.
He smiled at all of the applauses then froze in his spot. "Lazuli? Lapis?"
17 and 18 stood up and stepped forward in confusion. The man's eyes filled with tears and bright smile filled his face. That's when they saw it. The dimple. The same dimple that Marron and their mother had, and only one other person could have.
"Lamel?" 18 breathed tears spilling from her eyes as 17 just stammered and shook his head not believing his eyes.
"No you can't be our brother," 17 said pain lacing his voice. "Gero killed him."
"Android 16 didn't kill me," he said. "He took me to an art academy where he had already paid for my scholarship because he knew what Gero wanted to do to me. He told me to continue my studies and live my life and one day when he saved you he would take you to come find me."
"A-are you really Lamel?" 18 said stepping forward close to him. He was at least two heads taller than her but very slender and not muscular at all.
He grinned and pulled out a folded up paper from his pocket. He opened it up to reveal and small scale version of the same collage he had made them on their 18th birthday.
18 lunged forward without hesitation. She buried her face into his chest and hugged his waist crying as he hugged her back tightly and anxiously kissed the top of her head.
17 wasted no time. He zoomed at them at super human speed and hugged Lamel as hard as could. Everyone just stared not knowing what was going except for Krillin.
Krillin was the one who helped Bulma hire Lamel and bring him here. He wasn't totally sure if he was Lamel his wife's brother but now there wasn't a single doubt.
The three siblings hugged tightly and cried together after being apart for 15 years. Krillin just stood back and smiled.
