Rose happily bit into a bagel as she sat at the table the next morning with Dende. She was sore in places she didn't even know she had and she was deliriously happy. She took his hand in hers and pulled him closer to press a kiss to his lips. "I love you," she murmured to him.

Dende nearly trembled, the butterflies filling his stomach again at her touch and her words. He hoped that feeling never faded. "Not nearly as much as I love you," he answered back.

Jenny and Piccolo walked into the kitchen, a smug look on Jenny's face as she tossed a box of condoms and a spare pregnancy test to Rose. "Damn fertile Nameks."

Rose caught the box and stared at Jenny in surprise. "Wh-What?" She looked over at Dende, "Did you tell them about last night?!"

Jenny sat down in the seat across from her, grinning like mad. "In case you forgot, dear. My husband's also a Namek. They all have really, really sensitive hearing. That being said, I didn't need special hearing to hear what you two were doing last night." She leaned close, loving the blush that appeared on both of their faces, "You did the antenna thing, didn't you?"

Rose was mortified. She dropped the condoms and pregnancy test in her lap and clapped her hands to her face. "How did you... oh my gods..." She felt as though she could crawl in a hole and die.

Dende was turning fifteen shades of purple, "Ah, oops! Sorry about that. We kinda got lost in ourselves." He looked to Rose, a happy, contented look appearing on his face and he reached out and took her hand in his. He regained his composure looking back at Jenny. "Think of it as payback," he laughed.

"We were NEVER that loud," Piccolo muttered, crossing his arms.

Jenny was having too much fun. She knew Rose had figured out the antenna thing, because Piccolo made the same strangled noise when she did it to him. She ran her eyes up her husband's tall form as he leaned against the kitchen counter. She licked her lips seductively. "Maybe that's what we need to get things going," she grinned. "I'm giving you a son one way or another. I could just tie you to the bed and play with your antennae-"

"Enough," Piccolo barked, feeling his face burn. He closed his eyes and shook his head slowly, his eye twitching. Didn't his wife have a filter on her mouth? He sighed. He knew she did. She was doing this on purpose, just to see whose face would blush the most.

She sat back in her chair and laughed loudly at the blatant embarrassment on their faces. It was too amusing. "Okay," she groaned as she got back to her feet and fixed her husband with a stare that said she meant business. "You. Bedroom. Naked. NOW."

Rose clapped her hands to her mouth to hide her giggle as Piccolo opened his mouth to protest, but the next second, Jenny grabbed him by his long, pointed ear and dragged him out of the kitchen. "Maybe we should hide at my apartment for the day," she whispered to Dende.

He grinned toothily at her in a smile that showed off his fangs and made her shiver. "As long as I'm with you my love, I don't care where we go."


Goku lounged on the couch in Gohan's living room after supper, watching Goten as he played on the floor with Phoenix. It was nice to finally be able to relax and not worry for a little bit. Goten was safe here with his brother and Goku didn't have to worry about him being abused or going hungry. Gohan and Lindsey had already talked to him and decided that Goten would go to public school in the fall so that he could make friends and experience school like most kids. Goten was excited about it.

This had worked out for the best. Goku could come and visit whenever he liked and didn't have to worry about asking permission or waiting until an appointed time to see his son. Plus it gave him an excuse to try and steal Phoenix away more often, too. He grinned and wrinkled his nose at Phoenix as the tiny Saiyan looked up at him and gave a huge smile. He couldn't believe how big his grandson was now.

Gohan walked into the living room with Lindsey, holding her hand as he sat down on the couch beside his father. He cleared his throat and looked at Lindsey before he turned his attention to Goku. "Hey, Dad, we, ah, we have something to tell you."

Goku tipped his head in concern at Gohan. He looked a little nervous. Oh gods, what NOW? He forced himself to stay calm and managed a smile, despite the apprehension on his son's face. "What is it, son? Everything alright?"

"Oh, yeah, everything's fine," Gohan answered. He tried to hide his smile as he pulled Lindsey into his lap. "Soooo, ah, welll..."

Lindsey grinned, looking from her husband to Goku. She looked like she was about to burst with excitement.

"Oh, you just tell him," Gohan chuckled.

Lindsey met Goku's eyes and smiled even wider, "You're gonna be a grandpa again."

Goku's eyes went wide, disbelief and surprise covering his face before a bright smile came over his face. "What?! Really?! You're pregnant again!? That's fantastic news!" He stood up and drug them both into his arms to give them a warm hug. "Oh wow! Now I'll have two grand kids! Careful. I might steal one away." He couldn't get over it. He loved it when Phoenix had been born, holding that little tiny life in his hands. It was the most amazing feeling. He let them go and crouched down, placing a wide hand over Lindsey's belly. He looked up at them excitedly, "When are you due?"

"October," Lindsey answered. She giggled, "Uh, Dad, there's something else."

Gohan handed Goku a small black and white ultrasound photo.

"See?" Lindsey said pointing at the two small images, "There's one baby and there's the other!" She couldn't stop smiling, watching Goku's reaction. He'd been so sad for so long, she was happy to have good news to share with him for once.

Goku's jaw fell open, "Two?!" He grinned up at her, his eyes sparkling, full of excitement and wonder. "You have two little ones inside you?!" He rubbed her belly gently, looking intensely at the skin under his hand, trying with all his might to feel them without pressing too hard. "Oh wow!" he breathed. Two. Wouldn't that be something? Now he would have three grandchildren and Goten to train with. He was already making plans in his head, wondering how strong each of them would be when they got big enough to train. He grinned back at them, "Congratulations you guys! I'm so happy for you! Oh wow... just... wow! Can I keep this?" He asked gesturing to the photo.

"Of course!" Gohan grinned, "That one's for you."

Lindsey smiled down at Goku, the way he was pressing against her belly. "Dad, they're too little to feel like that yet," she laughed. She placed her hand over his. "Calm down. Try to sense their energy. It's really small, but it's there. Feel it?"

Goku closed his eyes and forced his mind to calm for just a moment. It was hard to do, though. He was so excited. He reached out with his senses, his grin growing wider when he felt the tiny little energies inside of her. He felt giddy. "Wow," he whispered. Chichi had never let him do this when she was pregnant with either of their kids. Never let him hold the babies. He leaned down, resting his head on her tummy, speaking quietly, "Hey there guys. I'm gonna be your grandpa. I can't wait to see you two."

Lindsey laughed lightly and scratched at Goku's scalp. "They'll be here before you know it," she said. "Maybe I'll get my little girl this time."

Gohan shook his head, "Well, there's one grandson you can see already," he laughed as Phoenix crawled over and tugged at the leg of Goku's pants.

Goku laughed and sat up straight again before he leaned down and scooped up his grandson, beaming at him, "Hey there, Phoenix! What are you up to kiddo?" He rubbed his nose against his smaller one, laughing with him. He couldn't wait to go and tell Sabriena and Tien about the good news. This was fantastic. His family was safe and happy and growing. Nothing could have made him happier.
