Willow watched out of her kitchen window as everyone gathered in their backyard. Everyone was here to celebrate the birth of their child, a sweet little girl named Gajita, in honor of her godfather, Vegeta.

The wish had changed him in the year that had passed.

He was still rough around the edges, but he could actually tell Bulma how he felt now. He tried to be an actual father to his children as well.

And most surprising was the day he showed up at Willow and Goku's home to apologize to them.

He was waiting for them one day when they came home, setting on their porch with his arms crossed, looking like he would rather be anywhere but there. Goku smiled at him as he landed, but Willow kept her space, glaring at him. She knew Bulma said that he had changed, but she still didn't trust him.

He stood, clearing his throat.

"I wanted to talk to you and your woman, Kakarott." He said, examining his fingernails. Willow pushed past Goku and went inside, the two older Saiyans following behind her.

Once inside, Vegeta seemed to lose his nerve slightly, and they lapsed into an awkward silence. He finally coughed slightly, looking at Goku.

"I wanted to say that, well, I mean I'm… I'm sorry." He mumbled the last part. Goku looked shocked.

"Really? Wow Vegeta! I never thought I'd ever hear you apologize for anything!" he said, smiling happily.

Vegeta winced, but nodded, finally looking at Willow. He stared at her for a moment before speaking.

"Kakarott, can I speak to your woman in private?"

Goku looked to Willow, who narrowed her eyes slightly, but nodded. He got up and kissed her cheek as he passed, going into the kitchen.

Vegeta nervously sat down and patted the cushion next to him. She moved over to him, setting down and glaring at him.

"You're not making this any easier you know." He grumbled, making her snort.

"And you're not getting off as easily with me as you did with Goku. For some unfathomable reason he misses your friendship. I'm willing to forgive you for his sake, and Bulma's." she said flatly.

He sighed, shaking his head.

"I am sorry. Before the wish, I felt guilty, but my pride wouldn't let me stop pursuing you. Now….. Now it feels like its eating away at me. I can still see the betrayal in Bulma's eyes when she looks at me. She doesn't trust me as she once did –"

"Of course she doesn't! What did you think? Everything would go back to normal when she made that wish? You're still the same person, just able to show the emotions you have been burying all these years!" she said, shaking her head. "It's going to take time for her to trust you again. I think you have a good chance of making it up to her, though," she said, making him look up in surprise.

"I forgive you, okay? I did a while back. There must be some kind of redeeming qualities to you if Goku and Bulma care so much for you. I just…. Why did you have to do it? I'm a whole lot closer to understanding Saiyan nature then I was before, but why did you have to take me like that?" she asked, tears coming to her eyes as she stared into his.

He hung his head.

"Because I couldn't fathom you not wanting me back! It's my pride! I can't – I couldn't see past it to know that what I was doing was wrong and that maybe you didn't want me as well!" he told her, his hands fisting.

They sat in silence for a moment before Willow started to chuckle. It grew into a full out laugh, making her have to hold her sides when they started hurting.

Vegeta stared at her in shock, thinking she had lost it.

She finally calmed down enough to speak, reaching over and patting his arm.

"I'm sorry! It's just – I've never met someone as conceited as you…" she trailed off, laughing.

He huffed, glaring at her.

"It's not that funny!"

She nodded, grabbing onto him to stay up right.

"Yes it is!" she gasped.

He finally smirked, shaking his head.

"It is, sort of." He grumbled.

She calmed down and smiled at him.

"Well, you know better now. Bulma loves you, Vegeta. She thinks you are one of the most amazing people in the world." She said, looking him in the eye.

"If you can be good to her and love her like she deserves, you have my eternal forgiveness. And be good to Goku. You hurt him. He thinks highly of you and has been trying to get me to see that you weren't a deliberate monster." she told him. He sighed again, shaking his head.

"No matter what we have been through, Kakarott always astounds me. I have been cruel to him, I have hurt him, and I have turned my back on him, but he still thinks of me as redeemable." He grumbled.

Willow smiled, shaking her head.

"Because you are, Vegeta. If anyone knows, it's Goku."

…

Things had calmed down after that. Goku got his training buddy back and Bulma got the husband she had wanted for so long.

When she became pregnant with Gajita, it was Vegeta who she talked, or rather griped, to about the pregnancy. Full blooded Saiyan pregnancies were a lot different than human/Saiyan ones. Vegeta turned into her friend before she even realized it. He was still a cynical bastard at times, but he helped her and listened to her, and calmed her when she was scared. When she went into labor, Goku, who finally took the phone Bulma had been trying to make him take, called Vegeta first. He and Bulma had showed up at two in the morning, ready for action.

Willow had been studying human cultures in the months of her pregnancies and had come across a human tradition that intrigued her. When a child was born, some humans would appoint a godfather, or godmother, for their child. This person would take care of the child if anything happened to their parents and they would mentor them. She partially blamed the pregnancy hormones, but decided to name Vegeta as their child's godfather.

When she gave birth at their home and Bulma let Goku into the room, leaving to give them some privacy, Willow explained what she wanted. Goku had smiled down at their daughter in her arms, running a finger over her black hair.

"That's fine with me. What about her name?"

Willow had tossed a few around in her head, but nothing had seemed to fit. Goku's face lit up in another smile.

"Gajita." He said softly.

Willow nodded, wiping a few stray tears from her eyes.

He left to bring the others in and came back with a whole group of people. His sons had arrived, Gohan with his wife and daughter. Trunks and Bulla were in the group as well, smiling down at the small baby in her arms. Goku took Vegeta's arm and pulled him forward, grinning when the other Saiyan huffed.

Willow patted the side of the bed, smiling up at him. He sat down, looking at the tiny bundle in her arms curiously.

"So what are you naming the brat?" he asked, trying to sound disinterested. Willow sat up in the bed and handed the baby over to her once enemy. His eyes grew large as he held her, tense with nervousness.

"We have something to ask you, Vegeta." She told him. He looked up from the child in his arms at her.

"We want you to be her godfather."

Bulma gasped, making Vegeta look at her oddly. "What's that?" he asked Willow when he turned back to her.

"It means that if anything happened to either Goku or me that you will raise her. You would be her guardian, and that you would be her mentor as she grows up." She explained.

Vegeta stared back down at the baby, his eyes softening. He nodded, seeming unable to speak. Willow smiled, looking up at Goku.

"We decided to name her Gajita."

Vegeta looked up at them, eyes wide.

"Y-You name her for me?" he asked, looking between them.

Willow smirked, nodding.

"Yes. I just hope she doesn't get your big head when she's older." She told him, making the others laugh.

It was a testament to how much he had changed when he laughed right with them, cradling the child to him. He looked back at the woman that had become his friend and smiled, feeling joy in his heart that he would have never allowed before.

For once, true peace had finally came to the Earth.
