Epilogue
-10 years later-
"Pan!" bellowed an outraged prince as he threw off his soaked bedsheets and ran out of his room, his sister's giggles could be heard from down the hall as the guards, servants and even their Nannies wisely stepped out of their path.
"Panny! This way! Hurry!"
"NINA YOU EVIL LITTLE BITCH!" Screamed another voice.
"WATCH YOUR MOUTH GOTEN!" yelled another male voice.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP TOMA!" Yelled the younger voices together.
As the madness ensued, Toma sighed, rubbing his throbbing temples as his father's large hand settled on his shoulder and he looked up at him and his baby sisters.
"I take it Pan and Nina did something to Turles and Kakarot Jr?" Nappa stated more than asked.
"You bet... Hey Cider, hey Ginger." He grabbed his little sisters and hugged them tightly, both giggled as he held them close. "Han-chan's gonna kill the bakayaro for showing the boys how to curse..."
Nappa nodded as he looked to the Onna's and Zarbon. The Lizard Prince had stayed on as a nanny for Turles, eventually covering all the children of the royal household. His father often visited to check on his son and his 'grandchildren' by default. Zarbon simply looked at him, smirked cockily and then turned back to talking with Chi-Chi and Bulma. The women sort of formed a threesome with him, though it was bit difficult to explain, but Zarbon simply put it as he was the sperm donor as Chi-Chi and Bulma normally prefer each other's company to his, not that he minded.
Nappa glared at the pink eyed alien, but turned to his oldest and dragged him out of the way as Nina slid between their legs and Pan jumped over their heads.
"Nina, Pan, ten minutes to breakfast! We have important guests visiting!" Chi-Chi called.
"Kay, granny Chi!" they chimed together.
Trunks barreled down the hall covered from head to toe in pink gunk, the young prince having a very strong dislike for the color dude to his earliest memories. Goten wasn't that far behind, the younger prince stained with blue and black gunk while naked. Both were furious as they dashed after the others.
All the noise from the Children's wing made it's way all the way to the two houses with in the castle gates waking up Vegeto and Burdock, the later heavy with another child, while Cornelius and Kakarot groaned, rolled back over and went back to sleep, it was Vegeta's turn to deal with the brats misbehavior today!
Pan and Nina squealed as they dashed around a corner only to hit something hard and fell to the floor. They looked up to see Vegeta dressed in formal wear, his cape an crown adding to his already intimidating appearance and aura. The boys came around the corner a second later, but froze seeing Vegeta. But it wasn't him they were scared of, it was...
"Kakarot, Turles! Where did you learn that language from!"
"The bakayaro..." They answered, lowering their heads, tails curling around their legs as the one who spoke came out from behind Vegeta, stomach fat with child.
"I'm gonna kill Yamcha..." He hissed.
"Gohan, settle down, stress and anger aren't good for the baby... be at ease, my Brídeach an Gealach Dearg..." Vegeta soothed, kissing his mate's temple, as his hand caressed his mate's swollen belly.
"We're sorry..." the boys mumbled, bowing their heads lower.
"I'll forgive, as long as you never repeat anything Yamcha says ever again!" Gohan huffed. "As for you two! Nina, march straight home to grandpa and tell him why you were sent home and you, Pan. Will march your behind straight to your room and get ready, for the next week, all four of you will go to bed early with no sweets or playing! Am I clear?"
"Yes mommy/Auntie Han/bro." the four said together before they turned down the hall to their rooms, Nina heading to her parent's little getaway from the palace. Gohan sighed, shaking his head as Vegeta snorted.
"You are too sweet on the children." He said, turning with his mate to head to the dining hall, knowing the children as well as the rest of their family will join them shortly.
"Humph! Coming from the man who thinks they should go into Spartan training for punishment... Trunks and Pan are powerful as is! I don't want them getting so strong they can't control it! Besides we both know that Oozuru's to blame for most of their bad behavior as well as themselves." Gohan sighed.
Vegeta laughed, kissing Gohan's temple, knowing better than to argue with Gohan.
He smiled down at his mate, his mind wandering back to the day they met and all the things that led to little tribe of terrors. His smile dimmed as he remembered Gohan being fatally wounded, but luckily Dende, a Namekian healer got to him in time or he wouldn't be here. Then the months after where Gohan just floated in limbo while in the rejuvenation tank.
He felt hot tears prick his eyes recalling when Gohan finally woke up and the first thing he said was: 'Why do you look so sad?'
He thought his mate didn't remember him, but then Gohan grabbed his cheeks and kissed his lips: 'Vegeta, stop crying... I'm here, I'm fine, see?'
He had grabbed his hand placed it over the fading scar where Cooler's hand had pierced through him. He just couldn't stop the tears, he sobbed and sobbed, kissing Gohan and holding him close. In fact they had a rather passionate reunion on the floor of the rejuvenation tank room. It scared the daylights out of their family the next morning, leading Vegeta to getting his butt kicked by his parents and in-laws before those Earthen friends of Gohan's got a few hits in as well.
"Vegeta... I'm not leaving you again... It will kill us both." Gohan's voice broke through his mind as he realized they had stopped walking and Gohan was kissing his eyes.
He didn't realize he was crying until that moment. He shakily kissed his mate, assuring himself Gohan was there, fat with child and hormonal as hell. He laughed at his thoughts, rubbing the bulging stomach.
"My Brídeach an Gealach Dearg, fat with my children... Of course you are here and you will not leave... Because if you leave, I am going with you." He told him.
"Mmm, sounds... sexy..." Gohan moaned, his arousal fermenting the air. A few guards coughed and the couple glared at them, but remembered their breakfast date, so they opted to hold off on sex until after the meal...
-Later-
Cayenne laughed as he and Gohan sat on the patio, watching the children at play, even though Gohan said they couldn't play, he let them play while the guests were still here. Gohan shook his head as Goten pounced Nina and was tormenting her with a bug as she screamed and kicked her feet trying to get away.
"He's so mean!"
"Actually she and Pan are the mean ones... they inked the boys this morning. Trunks in pink and Goten in black and blue..."
"Pink! But she knows that reminds him of-" he stopped, seeing the blazing red in Gohan's eyes. "That's just cruel what she did..."
"She's only 10... She doesn't understand that Trunks isn't comfortable around anyone pink... I know I'm not after what happened... I can't be near anyone purple or gray and purple..." Gohan admitted, his eyes taking on a haunted look.
"Their gone... they won't bother us anymore..." Cayenne assured, touching his friend's shoulder.
Everyone knew there was no way anyone was going to be the same after all that happened. Gohan didn't let anyone near the kids he didn't trust and Vegeta did through background checks of all who visited Vegetasei or wished to ally with them. Anyone pink, purple, gray, or a combination of the three, were kept far from Gohan and Trunks. Neither one over the trauma, and more likely will never be, but the least he could was make them at least feel safer in their own home.
"Hey, whatever happened to Syke?" Cayenne suddenly asked, growling low as he recalled the bastard that betrayed them and helped kidnap Gohan.
"Hmm? Oh him?" Gohan laughed, waving a hand as if waving off a bug. "Papa found him and brought him to Namek where Mr. Piccolo and his people tore him to shreds as an act of peace with Vegetasei."
"What! Those peace loving Hippies?" Cayenne shouted, drawing the kids attention for a sec before they went back to playing.
"... You've been studying about Earth again haven't you?" Gohan deadpanned.
"That's beside the point! I didn't think they could be so violent!"
"Uhh, Vegetasei has been at war with them for a very long time... it wasn't until my mom went missing that the fighting came to a standstill... And why would they be hippies?" Gohan asked, unable to drop the subject now.
"For gods' sake! They drink only water and hug trees damn it!"
"... That doesn't make them hippies... they don't do drugs nor do they form protests and all the other things the Hippies did back in the 1960s." Gohan stated, though he was fighting off the giggles that threatened to spill free from his lips.
"Gohan... if these Earth Hippies ever come to Namek, they will be in heaven! There are no wars, there's no meat to eat, they can all eat that tofu stuff and hug trees to their hearts content!"
"... Mr. Piccolo uses Hippies as target practice..." Gohan deadpanned again.
Cayenne stared in wide eyed shock as said Namek walked over with Dende, the smaller Namek holding an egg in his arms.
"Those tree hugging freaks made it to Vegetasei?" Piccolo asked, looking for them to blow them up.
"No, Mr. Piccolo... And besides if they were you'd be the first to know... Flower Child!" Gohan finally burst into a hysterical fit of laughter as Piccolo growled and glared at the pregnant 28 year old.
"Flower Child?"
"The Hippies saw King Piccolo spit out Piccolo as a child and said that King Piccolo was the tree that bloomed when it's child was born." Kakarot said, also laughing at Piccolo's embarrassment.
"Shut up Goku... Unlike your son, you are not pregnant."
"Says you..." Cornelius bit out, nursing a black eye.
"Your pregnant again!"
"Don't have a cow, your gonna be a daddy soon anyway!" Kakarot pointed out. "Besides, the Hippies can hug all the trees they want as long as they don't try and force drugs on the kids or Gohan!"
Piccolo growled.
"Well for that matter, just let me kill them on sight and no one, but them gets hurt! Besides can you really forgive them for trying to remove Gohan's tail?"
Kakarot fell silent, as his Ki flared a second, once more drawing the children's attention before they saw nothing wrong and went back to playing. Gohan had shook his head as his mom blew his top and punched Piccolo in the face, starting a rather intense sparring match between the two, all the while plotting to kill hippies, though Gohan personally didn't care if the hippies did anything or not. As long as they were on earth and away from him and his children he was fine...
-That night-
Vegeta walked out of the shower and smiled at Gohan sitting on their bed, coming his long hair. Over the last 10 years Gohan's let his hair grow, cutting it a few times and growing it again. Over the last 10 years, his mate has grown more and more beautiful and nothing turned him on more than seeing Gohan's normally slender figure round out with child. At times he would feed Gohan and become highly aroused by his mate eating for himself and for their children.
He pulled from his thoughts as Gohan set down the comb and braided his hair, he yawned tiredly and got comfy in bed. He quickly dried off and got his nightwear on and climbed in on the other side. Gohan scooted close to him as he got comfortable as well, wrapping his arms over Gohan's frame as he turned off the lights and they slowly drifted off to sleep, but before Vegeta can fully drop off he hears Gohan's pained gasp and his small voice whisper:
"Vegeta?" there was a pause. "Get Bulma and Mother..."
"Why?" He asked, tiredly.
"The baby's coming..."
THE END!
IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not have issues with hippies; I just wanted to some comedic relief in there at Piccolo's expense!
