I think this is the longest I have gone without posting another chapter. It's getting hard, writers block is a mofo. I did however write a oneshot about Gohan and Videl, you guys should check out. Well enough blabbering, her is the next chapter.
The Next Day
Gohan awoke the day after the wedding, right next to his new wife. She was still sound asleep. As quietly and with as little disturbance as possible, Gohan exited the bed. As odd as it would seem, Videl had told Gohan, that they should avoid a honeymoon until after Teralos had been defeated. Videl knew Gohan need all the time he could to train for the inevitable fight.
Gohan told his dad that he would meet him at Capsule Corp. around two in the afternoon. He wanted to spend the morning with his bride.
Gohan made his way down the stairs of his rather large wedding present. Bulma had a house built for Gohan and Videl as a wedding present. She took the keys and wrapped them for them too open. The look on both of their faces Bulma would never forget. But after she told them what the keys were to, they immediately insisted that they could not accept such a large gift. But Bulma would not take 'no' for an answer. So here Gohan was, in a house that could rival a small apartment complex, but without the goofy landlord. Gohan located the kitchen which only took a few minutes. He found the fridge and dug out the breakfast ingredients he needed. He threw together some pancake batter, as well as sausages, bacon, and eggs.
Videl awoke and turned over to see that her husband was missing. Slightly disappointed she turned back around and took in her new room. It sure was a great place. She couldn't believe Bulma had done this, but she supposed there was a benefit to marrying a man who was Godson to a billionaire genius. After a few moments of mind wandering, Videl realized she could smell food. Her tummy grumbled, and she realized a certain pint sized saiyan was in need of food. She was about to get up when in walked the man of her dreams carrying a large tray full of food. A giant stacks of pancakes, 20 strips of bacon, 15 sausage links, and a pitcher of milk and one of orange juice landed right on top of her legs. She looked up from the food and found Gohan staring back at her.
"Gohan what's this all for?" Videl asked smiling. Gohan leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"For becoming my wife," Gohan said. I can't tell you how happy I am that I get to wake up beside you every day for the rest of my life. I get to have a child with you, which brings me back to the food. I don't want my favorite two people to go hungry," Gohan ended with a smile. Videl had tears in her eyes, Gohan came down and sat beside her and wrapped his right arm around her. Videl smiled up at him and pulled his head down to kiss him. When they broke apart, Videl looked back at her food.
"I don't think that I can eat all of this, you better help me," Videl said handing Gohan a fork.
"Oh well if you insist Mrs. Son," Gohan said in a silly deep voice that he had not used for quite some time. Videl instantly had memories of him coming to her rescue in that silly outfit as Saiyaman. She remembered after she found out the feeling she got every time her white night came to her rescue. Videl snapped back to reality as Gohan began to wave his hand in front of her face and say 'hello'.
"Oh sorry, that voice just brought back memories of when we were in high school. When you used to be Saiyaman," Videl said smiling at him.
"Oh man, that seems so long ago," Gohan said as his mind began to travel back to those first days when he was Saiyaman. He had saved Videl on many occasions, and even now he would always protect her. Gohan returned to the present and looked at his wife sternly.
"Videl, I promise you the best honeymoon when this is all over. Just you and me," Gohan said looking apologetic.
"What about the baby?" Videl aske.
"Well, I'm sure mom would take the baby. You know how much she wants grandkids," Gohan chuckled after this.
"Yeah, it sounds like a plan. You got yourself a deal," Videl said as she kissed him on the lips again. "Now, help me eat my way out of bed."

Goku sat on a medical bed waiting for Bulma to come in and take the blood she needed to do whatever it was that she would do so he could have his tail back. The idea was pretty cool Goku thought. Having his tail back would be neat. He did miss the little guy. But he didn't look forward to getting his blood drawn. Bulma came in with a square metal plate that held a single syringe and needle. Bulma walked toward Goku as Vegeta appeared in the door. Goku got up and tried to walk away from Bulma. This was starting to seem like a bad idea.
"Goddamn it Kakarott don't be such a baby, let Bulma draw your damn blood so we can get back to training," Vegeta spat at a whimpering Goku.
"Sorry Vegeta, I just hate neeahhhhh," Goku screamed as Bulma was finally successful in getting the needle into Goku's arm.
"Vegeta hold him," barked to blue haired beauty. Vegeta abided by his wife's request and held onto the squirming Goku.
"For crying out loud Kakarott, Saiyan up," Vegeta screamed at his counterpart.
"There, done, you can go," Bulma said as she capped the needle and left the room.
"Kakarott you really are an embarrassment to the Saiyan race. I hope you know that. Come on, let's get back to the Gravity Room, I want you to teach me how to reach the third ascension," Vegeta said as he walked out of the room. Goku was following close behind him.
"When is that brat of yours supposed to show up?" Vegeta asked over his should to Goku.
"He said he wanted to spend the morning with Videl. I can't blame him, they are passing on a honeymoon so he can train. I really feel sorry for him. I even told him that he should go, but he said that Videl wanted him to train. Anyway, he figured he'd get here around one," Goku finished as they approached the GR. Vegeta punched the code in and the door opened and the gravity immediately turned off. Trunks and Goten were in there training and both flew up and hit the ceiling when the gravity was turned off. They both fell back to the floor with thuds as sickening as the ones they had when they hit the ceiling.
"Thanks a lot dad," Trunks said to his father while rubbing his head. The ten year old warrior glared at his dad.
"Heh heh, well, at least you learned how to take a hit,' Vegeta said smirking. Ever the optimist, Goten was up and running to his dad.
"Hey dad, can we train with you and Vegeta?" Goten asked jumping up and down in front of his dad. Goku looked at Vegeta whose eyes narrowed.
"Uh maybe later squirt, Vegeta and I can get pretty dangerous together," Goku said covering for Vegeta. He wouldn't want it known that a third class Saiyan was helping him to ascend to the next level.
"All right," Goten said disappointed.
"Awwwe, come on Goten, let's go to the backup GR and start where we left off," Trunks said patting his friend on the back.
"Okay, let's go," Goten said as he raced out of the GR.
"Not one to stay down for long is he Goku," Trunks said looking up and the spikey haired Saiyan.
"Yeah, he's a lot like me," Goku said grinning.
"Get out of here Trunks, Kakarott and I have a lot of work to do," Vegeta said his temper raising. Trunks turned and left the room. The door closed behind him. "Now that we are alone, why don't you tell me exactly how this level is attained Kakarott," Vegeta said now facing his former nemesis.
"Explaining how to do it is nowhere as difficult as actually bringing it out. When you ascend to the second level, you need to make peace with it. Remember when Gohan changed so much during the Cell Games? He would need to remember who he was before he would be able to tap into this new power. You and I never had too much difficulty with Super Saiyan Two, we were able to maintain ourselves, not
get lost in the power. So it's like this. When you ascend to Super Saiyan Two, you must then relax, and feel for the well of power inside of you. You need to reach for it with everything you've got and pull it out. In words, it's simple. In reality it is hard. It took me quite some time before I was able to access it. But I didn't know to at first calm myself in the Super Saiyan Two state, so you may be able to acquire the new form a little easier than I did," Goku finished just as Vegeta began to ascend to his Super Saiyan Two form.

"Now I know your dad really fears these things, but please don't cause me as much trouble as he did," Bulma pleaded with Gohan as she approached him. Videl held onto Gohan's left arm as Bulma grabbed his right and brought the needle to his skin. Gohan grabbed Videls hand and looked deep into her bright blue eyes in hope of distracting himself from the needle. It was sad, like his father, he would fight any being without fear, but a small piece of metal made him cower like a wounded dog.
"Okay, you're done," Bulma said as she capped a needle for the second time today. "I should have these ready in a few days. I'll call you and your dad when the injections are ready." Gohan looked at her then at his arm.
"That was it, I didn't even feel it. Man, I was scared for nothing, Gohan said as he looked at Bulma.
"Your father was a different story. I had to have Vegeta hold onto him after we caught him when he tried to run," Bulma said with a small smile. "Hey, I know, since you're both here, Videl, would you like me to perform an Ultrasound?" Bulma asked excited. Videl's eyes lit up at hearing this.
"That would be wonderful, don't you think so," Videl said as she looked at her husband.
"Yeah, sounds great, where to Bulma?" Gohan asked.
"Right this way," Bulma said as she headed for the door. Gohan hopped off of the exam table and followed, still holding Videl's hand, who stood right beside him. They followed Bulma out of the infirmary and into the hallway where Bulma led them through the maze of corridors that was Capsule Corp. They came to a door that had 'Ultrasound' written on it, can't be any more obvious than that, Videl thought. Bulma typed in a passcode and the door opened. Bulma led them over to a small bed that bent up at the midpoint.
"Okay Videl, hop up and lie down," Bulma said as she patted the bed. Bulma then went to the other side of the room and rolled the machine toward the bed.
"All right, I'm going to need you to lift up your shirt," Videl complied and pulled her shirt up to just below her bosom. Bulma grabbed the bottle of Ultrasound Gel from the cart that the machine sat on.
"Okay, this will be a little cold," Bulma gave warning before applying the gel to Videl's abdomen.
"Oh burr, you weren't kidding," Videl said surprised. Bulma began to run the device over Videl's tummy until she located the small being.
"See there, that's the heart. Isn't that neat?" Bulma asked excitedly.
"Yeah, this is great Bulma, thanks for suggesting it," Gohan said as he stared at the screen showing the heartbeat of his child.
"Oh wow Gohan, I can't believe that's what's inside me," Videl said as she started to tear up.
Ten minutes later Gohan had left from the Ultrasound room Bulma had. He needed to start his training. He headed toward where he felt an enormous ki level. He assumed it was the GR, and he was right. He entered the passcode and as the door opened was immediately engulfed in an extremely violent light and noise. He stepped inside and closed the door. As his eyes adjusted to the light he could see his dad watching over a straining Vegeta. Gohan walked over to his dad.
"What is going on," Gohan had to yell of Vegeta's screams, and the wind caused by his emanating energy.
"I'm helping him reach Super Saiyan 3, and I think he's almost got it," Goku screamed back. Gohan looked on as a crouched Vegeta began to scream even louder. The aura increased in magnitude as well. Gohan continued to look on as Vegeta's hair started to grow out. It was slow at first, then it began to speed up a little bit. His hair continued to grow until it reached the backs of his knees. Gohan watched in awe as Vegeta's brow grew out replacing his eyebrows with an almost ridge like feature. The transformation finished and Gohan was in awe. Goku simply smiled.
"Congratulations Vegeta. I can't believe it, you accomplished in a few hours what took me weeks," Goku said walking over to his old rival.
"Heh hen, perhaps being of a royal blood line helps with this transformation," Vegeta smirked.
"Wow, that's awesome Vegeta, what's the power like?" Gohan asked the Saiyan Prince.
"It is fantastic, it feels like pure raw energy, I feel almost invincible. I can feel that it is draining fast though, Kakarott was right. Now transform and let's see what I can do before I burn out," Vegeta spat at Goku.
"Ugh, maybe tomorrow Vegeta, I'm kind of hungry, I didn't get lunch and it's two already," Goku pleaded.
"Fine," Vegeta said as he powered down. "I don't want to fight you when your mind is on food. You might try to eat me," Vegeta laughed as he headed for the exit.
"Hey dad, can you help me this afternoon then," Gohan asked his dad enthusiastically.
"Yeah, no problem. But let's go, ChiChi wants you and Videl over for lunch," Goku said to his son.
"All right, I'll steal her from Bulma and meet you at the house," Gohab said to his dad as they both placed their fingers to their foreheads.
DBSS
"Anyway Bulma, the house is great, I still can't believe you did that. It really is too much," Videl said as the two women sipped some tea.
"Nonsense, I owe Gohan more than a house, after all he's done. He has saved my butt on more than one occasion, and I could always count on him. Just like I could Goku," Bulma finished just as Gohan appeared next to Videl.
"You really need to stop doing that," Bulma said as she straightened herself up from her fall. "Didn't that scare you?" Bulma asked Videl.
"No, I'm used to it. Most of the time I think he does it just to try and scare me anyway," Videl said she looked up at her husband.
"Mom wants us to have lunch back at her place, do you mind?" Gohan asked his wife.
"No, sounds like fun," Videl said as she stood up and wrapped her arms around Gohan.
"See you later Bulma," Gohan said as he again brought his fingers to his forehead.
"Bye you two," Bulma waved as she watched Gohan and Videl disappear.
"Goten, your ten years old, stop playing with your food," ChiChi screamed at her youngest son.
"Yes mom," Goten knew better than to test his mom. That frying pan hurt.
"So, what do you two think of the house?" ChiChi asked as she looked to the newlyweds.
"It's great, Bulma went all out. I really think it is too much though," Gohan said after he swallowed his mouthful of rice. He learned the hard way not to talk and chew. His father still tried that, but thankfully ChiChi had given up trying to smack sense into him. If she hadn't Gohan was pretty sure that he would soon forget how to fight.
"Well, it is not all Bulma's doing. Your father and I helped too. We split the cost fifty-fifty," ChiChi said as she swatted Goten on the back of the head with a wooden spoon. "Next time you play with your food I'm getting the pan," Goten immediately ceased and desisted.
"You guys, that house really is bigger than we will need. Even with a child," Gohan liked the house, he just felt uncomfortable taking such an enormous gift. But he figured he better learn to like it, really, the house was quite nice. Smaller than Hercules estate by a significant amount, but vastly larger than his parent's house.
"You won't be saying it's too big when you give me all the grandbabies I want," ChiChi said and immediately got dreamy eyed. Gohan didn't have the heart to tell her that at most, Videl only wanted one more. Who knows though, maybe Gohan could get a third out of her, she sure was fond of the idea of the first. I'll see how the first one goes, Gohan thought. Regardless, the house was his and Videl's. Videls house would definitely have been big when the baby came along, so he was happy for the extra room the wedding present contained.
"Well, I'm stuffed. What do you say we go see Piccolo and train for a few hours? It's only two thirty, plenty of time to get some good sparring in," Goku said as he stood from the table. Gohan looked to his wife who simply nodded.
"Alright, I'm in," Gohan said enthusiastically. "Go get Piccolo, I'll meet you at the old grounds," Gohan said as he rose from his seat.
"ChiChi would you like some help cleaning up?" Videl asked as she looked across the table at her mother in-law.
"Sure, we've got Goten too," ChiChi said as she again stared hard at her youngest son. Goten gave a pathetic look. "Don't look at me like that, this is punishment for playing with your food," ChiChi explained to a now sullen Goten. Darn Goten thought. He looked outside as his father disappeared and his brother both took to the skies. Why are they training like this all of a sudden, what is it they are keeping from me. I bet Trunks knows
Gohan headed for the canyon not far from his house. It was the same place he had trained for the androids as well as the place where he taught Videl how to fly. That was back when she was blackmailing him, before he realized he liked her, loved her, and would do anything to keep her from feeling pain. Man where does time go, Gohan thought. Goku appeared with Piccolo in tow right in front of Gohan.
"Well no sense in wasting time," Piccolo said in his gruff voice. "Grrrrrr….rrrrrrrrr," Piccolo was straining as he began to split his form in two. "May not have maximum power, but how about some two on two?" the Piccolo's asked the father and son duo.
"You're on Piccolo," Gohan said first.
"We'll keep it fair, we won't transform," Goku said smiling. The wind picked up after Goku spoke. The whistle of it against certain parts of the environment could easily be heard, as neither of the four warriors had yet to make a move. The Piccolo's both shared a smile as they closed their eyes. When they opened them, the Saiyan's were no longer in front of him. Then the Piccolo's were sent flying forward into the rock formation five hundred yards in front of them. They hit with an explosion of dust, followed by the crumbling of the formation. The Piccolo's could be seen climbing out of the rubble, a little the worse for wear, but mostly unscathed. His friends would hardly intentionally hurt him.
"It seems I underestimated your abilities when not transformed," one of the Piccolo's said with a chuckle. Both immediately disappeared and before either Saiyan had time to act, they were both punched hard in the face and sent colliding into each other. The thud was sickening, but far from the damage Piccolo could easily have dealt at full power to their un-ascended forms. He knew that in a battle to the death, he would not last long against Goku, let alone Gohan, but it would never come to that. Instead, they fought side by side, and that's how it always would be.
"All right Gohan, I think we better take him seriously too," Goku said rubbing his head where it hit Gohan's.
"Yeah, no more monkey business, well sort of," Gohan said trying to stifle a laugh.
"Alright, let's GOOOO," Goku yelled as he and Gohan launched at the Namekian warriors.
DBSS
Gohan reappeared outside his new home. It was eight at night, and he was abiding by his promise to always spend time with Videl no matter what. He didn't care what his dad said. If he lost Videl because he ignored her, the Earth might as well be destroyed, because his life would be meaningless. It would never come to that. He approached the door and stuck his key in it, only to have it open up. Videl stood there smiling back at him.
"How was training with Piccolo and your dad?" Videl asked wrapping her husband in a hug.
"It was good, but I wanted to spend some time with you. I don't want to turn into my dad, where he trains all the time and only see's mom when he needs to eat," Gohan explained. "Videl, I want you to tell me if I am not spending enough time with you," Gohan said as he pulled away from her embrace and stared into her Cerulean orbs. "I don't want to lose you because I don't spend time with you," Gohan said sincerely.
"Gohan, you'll never lose me, especially not to something like that. I know what you're doing is important. Training now is for a good cause, it's to save the world. If you can't beat this guy, it won't matter if you didn't pay me any attention," Videl said her arms till wrapped around Gohan's neck.
"Well, you are my world so it would matter," Gohan said as he placed his forehead against. Videl closed her eyes and bit her lip as she let a smile escape her lips. Damn, he always knows what to say, Videl thought. Videl opened her eyes and relinquished her grip on Gohan's neck, but grabbed his hand.
"Come on, ChiChi taught me how to make Saiyan sized meals. I needed to know how too, since I'm eating for one of them, not just cooking for my husband," Videl said as she led Gohan over to the table that housed a large container of rice, and many different things that he could add. His mouth dropped at how much Videl had cooked, he wasn't certain, but for the first time in his life, he actually thought there was a small chance that there could be leftovers. Gohan glanced at his wife and bolted for his seat and immediately began to consume food like the dead zone had tried to consume him.
"I take it you like it huh," Videl said as she sat down and began to eat as well. Gohan simply nodded violently. She could easily sense his enthusiasm. Currently, Videl could eat far more than normal, but she could not however eat as fast as Gohan. This ability still amazed her, how in the heck does he taste it, Videl thought.
When they finished, they both cleaned up before sitting on the couch and watching the news, and just enjoying each other's company. They both agreed that these next few years could be all they had. They would be spent as best as they could given the preparations that need be had. As nine thirty rolled around, Gohan was getting tired, and noticed Videl was asleep in his lap. Thankful that she was already in her sleep ware, Gohan carefully lifted her head from his lap and picked her up and took her to their room. He laid her down, covered her up before removing his own close down to his boxers and getting in beside her. He wrapped his arms around her, and drifted off to sleep.
Yeah, I failed my plan again. As of right now, the next chapter will advance ahead a few months, and will have a small amount of Gohan ass-kickery. I realized that i needed to do this chapter before the next one, but originally, the next chapter was suppose to be in place of this one. Well it will probably be a while before I update. Looking like a week and a half at least. Got finals next week, and this weekend I work nonstop. So see you guys in a while.
