Ch 56

They would land soon at the Briefs home. Trunks took this time to think about their options. 'Therapy seems like the logical step, but it seems like it could only appeal to our human side. Will it have an affect on two half saiyans?' he thought. 'Well I'm willing to do anything to stay together.'

"Couples therapy, who knew we would ever need that?" Goten said.

"Yeah I know. I mean we get along great for the most part. I guess now the only thing to do is find a therapist and make an appointment."

"How long do you think we'll need therapy? I mean is it something we'll need for the rest of our lives, or is it like months and we'll be all better?"

"I don't know. I guess we'll see," said Trunks as he kept track of their location. "Prepare to land."

The ship landed in the backyard of the Briefs home with little commotion. Walking out of the ship, Trunks was the last to step out as he capsuled the ship, putting it in his pocket. The couple faced Baba, who smiled at the two young men.

"Well I better be off. Good luck boys."

"Bye Baba," said Goten.

"And thanks again," said Trunks as he watched her take off.

Walking into his parent's house with Goten, the came into the kitchen to see Bulla and Uub in the kitchen studying.

Bulla turned around and smiled as she hopped off her seat and hugged her big brother. "Oh welcome home Trunks!" she exclaimed as he hugged his sister back.

"Thanks, it's good to be home," Trunks smiled.

"Did you guys find what you needed?" asked Uub.

"We hope so," said Goten.

"Well I'm sure that mom will be happy to know you both got back safe and sound," said Bulla. "She went out to the store with grandma, and dad should be around here somewhere. You know how he is. Anyway, have you eaten anything? I think you can clean out the fridge if you want. Mom and grandma will be refilling it soon enough."

"Cool. Thanks Bulla," said Goten as he raced towards the fridge.

"Hey don't start without me," said Trunks.

Bulla watched the couple raid the fridge and smiled. "Some things never change."

Bulla and Uub left the couple to hangout in the living room. They needed a break from all the studying they were doing. Trunks and Goten had finished cleaning out the fridge and joined Bulla and Uub in the living room.

"So, how was the trip?" asked Bulla.

"It was great," said Goten. "We're hopeful for the future." He smiled as a knock came to the door.

"I'll get it," said Trunks as he got up.

"Trunks!"

Trunks smiled. "Hey mom, how's it—AH!" Trunks yelled as his mom hugged him tight.

"Oh I'm so glad you're all right," said Bulma as she stepped back to look at her son. "You look hopeful," she smiled.

"Hi Bulma," said Goten as he walked up to mother and son.

"How are you sweetie?" she asked as she hugged him.

"Good. I think this trip was good for us," said Goten.

"Did you find answers?" asked Bulma

"Yes," said Trunks. "Couples therapy and blood letting."

"Blood letting!" exclaimed Bunny Briefs as she came in the door. "Just what is going on here?"

"Oh mom I'll catch you up. Lets get these capsules of groceries into the kitchen," said Bulma as she lead her mom into the kitchen. She gave her son a look that said we'll talk later, and Trunks understood.

Trunks and Goten walked inside their house, took off their shoes and jackets, and went to their bedroom to relax. Trunks stopped by the door as Goten lied down on the bed.

"Maybe I should relax in the guest room for now. You know until we feel like we can trust each other not to get violent."

Goten sighed as he sat up in bed. "You know this is one of the times I wish you weren't right," he smiled sadly.

"I know," said Trunks. "I love you."

"I love you to and get some sleep ok?"

"I will chibi, don't worry," he smiled before he walked to the room across the hall and lied down. He didn't have trouble getting to sleep this time.
