Each of my kids had some type of ability they displayed while they were still developing in my womb. While I was pregnant with Cus she would teleport me anywhere in the house. Macarita would make things appear if it looked interesting. (Anything in my jewelry closet would do) Vados curiosity was more on the violet side, she would make anything explode if she didn't like it (spent most of my time outside because of her. Until she blew up our first Pavilion because it wasn't comfortable enough.) Whis would put me in time loops from time to time, one-time Vados had to get help because Whis kept me a loop laughing. (He must have enjoyed the sound of my laugh because he did it more than once.) I'm telling you this because Merus is making the bed float right now. It's only been a day and he's really active. "Merus mommy needs to pee and get ready for the day. Please put the bed down." I asked softly. He didn't listen to me and made the bed float a little higher.
"Merus put the bed down." My husband demand in a soft voice. The bed was put down gently and I get out of bed. "Thank you Merus." Something fluttered in my stomach almost making me smile. (Must be his way of telling me he's happy?)
After my morning routine, I put on my housecoat. I make breakfast around here; I don't require the house workers to wake up so early and wait on us hand and feet morning noon and night. I walked the long hallway and caught a glimpse of Vados and Clover on a morning jog from the window. (How cute) My stomach flutter again "That's one of your big sisters and her partner."
I finally made it to the kitchen and was a little shocked to find Coco up so early. "Good morning Coco." She jumped and turn to look at me "Good morning mom." Merus started a ruckus making me feel nauseous. I wonder what caused that? "Why are you up so early?"
"I...um...don't have anything else to do so I'm baking for Whis" She gave a nervous laugh while rubbing the back of her head. "What do you do when you're on Beerus planet?" "...cook and clean."
"That's it?"
"I stop creating because Beerus complains about it so I don't have anything else to do." Apart of me wants to be angry that she's been limited to cooking and cleaning. (I'm going to yell at Whis, he's just fucking and using her. She's not going to decline his advances, she's in love.) We worked on breakfast together in comfortable silence. "Mom, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"You smell different, did something change?" I looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her question. She saw my reaction and fumbled the spatula she was using. "It's just, you normally smell like honeysuckle. Right now, you smell like baby breaths."
"My husband and I wanted to keep it secret so don't say anything. I'm pregnant." She gave a soft gasp before dropping down in front of me. "Hi, their tiny baby." She said softly placing her hand on my flat stomach. Merus reacted and pulled Coco's neat bun apart by pulling her ribbon with gravity. (Humm, I think I know how I'm going to punish Whis.) Coco quickly stood up at the sounds of footsteps.
"Good morning mother."
"Good morning Vados, I saw you two through the window, how was your morning jog?"
"It was pretty good, got my blood pumping. Especially when you remember your running on clouds and the fear of falling is in the forefront of my mind." Clover said in a joking manner. Coco only smiled and flip the pancake she was working on. "What are you doing up so early Coco?"
"I...um, I'm just helping her make breakfast." Clover wasn't satisfied and got ready to interrogate so I cut in. "Why don't you two go get clean up and tell everyone to come down." Vados caught on to my tone and pulled Clover out the kitchen down the hall.

I flop down on the love seat Vados keeps in her bedroom with my arms cross. "I think something is wrong with Coco." "What makes you say that?" My beautiful girlfriend asked while pulling her shirt off. "Coco's never up this early." "Maybe she had a rough night?" She said while sliding her yoga pants off. I shook my head "Coco values sleep if a villain came to destroy us Coco would angrily roll out of bed, choke the villain until they pass out just so she can get a few more minutes of sleep." Vados finish getting undress and made her way to her bathroom.
"I haven't seen her this fragile and sad since...that stupid soap joke," I mumbled. "What?" Vados asked sticking her head back out the bathroom door. "N-nothing."
"Are we sharing this shower or are you going to let me feel lonely here? My face heats up and I made quick work of my clothes.
Grand priestess pov
Breakfast was irritating. How come I'm only realizing Coco waits for hands and foot for Whis? I mold this girl to be an equal and she's playing the maid with sexual benefits. I asked her in the kitchen if she was happy to be the maid on Beerus planet and I think it broke her. She just sat there while I finished cooking. I told her to sit at the table and Merus pulled the sit out for her on my left side. (Whis might have competition.) "What's wrong, sweetheart?" My husband asked squeezing my thigh softly. "I'll tell you during our rounds."
Clover pov
I finally got Coco backed into a corner.
"Is this position necessary?" She asked confused by the cicada block position. "No, but I want to know what's wrong."
"N-nothing. I just. I think I realized I don't know what I'm supposed to do with myself."
"Are you crying?"
"...yes."
I looked at our surroundings before grabbing her hand. "Let's go somewhere private," I said softly pulling her in the direction of Vados bedroom, once inside I sat her down. "Ok Federline, start from the top." She hiccups once and wiped away a tear. "Last night I had a dream, well actually it was more like a nightmare. It was just me on Beerus planet, he was gone and Whis went dormant. I was just so lost and It got me thinking, besides doing rulings every once and a while what the hell do, I do?"
"What do you do on a normal day?"
"Wake up, cook, clean, sleep. That's all I do." The bedroom door open and I saw Vados come in. "I'm sorry if I am interrupting. I was just letting you know I finished packing for our date. "What's that?" Coco asked with a curious tone. Vados and I were shocked. "You never been on a date?" She asked surprised "No" she replied softly looking down at the plush rug.
"Is that why you're crying?"
"No, I'm crying because I don't know what to do with myself if my partner goes dormant."
"Oh, that's easy you just...I...you two stay right here." Vados jump up fast and sprint for the door. "MOM!" She yelled.
"So, there's a baby inside again?" Lord Zeno asked staring at my stomach. "Yes, my lord."
"Hmm, how long do I have to wait to meet them?"
"We estimate a shorter wait time." The tiny lord nod excited. "Then you should relax and enjoy your vacation so the baby comes faster lady honey."
"I'll take your advice, my lord."
"Enjoy your vacation and don't forget to bring me something back cool." "I wouldn't dare forgot." My husband gently grips my hand and opens a portal.
MOM! Vados yelled trying to find the tall women. "Why are you yelling for mom!" Mojito yelled sticking his head out from his bedroom doorway.
"What do our partners do when we go dormant!?"
"What a stupid question." He muttered while confidently crossing. "Our partners...they..." the confident smirk was no longer present and dread appeared. "I don't have the answer...MOM!"
The husband and wife arrive home outside in the garden. "Do you think that's a suitable punishment?" The grand priests asked while running his thumb over the back of his wife's hand.
"It worked when your mother did it to us." The short priests gave a small smirk. "I did get a real appreciation for your rebel side. I've never snuck out of the house, sneaked into a rave and got arrested until I met you." His wife's nose scrunched up with her genuine smile.
"And I got an appreciation for how smart you are under pressure. I never escape from handcuffs, tuck, and roll from a car and successfully got away from the cops until I met you." The tall beauty giggled "How did we end up in that Nice old couples house?" The priest smiled and shrugged. "I don't know but we got in so much trouble that morning."
The peaceful house was now in an uproar because the siblings were trying to find their mother. "Where the hell is, she hiding?!" Marcarita yelled
"I don't know! Cus what do we do!?" Vados asked looking over to the tiny woman. The oldest looks up from her frantic thoughts. She was issued the question and didn't have the answer. She's gone dormant before but she didn't have to worry about leaving behind someone she learned to love and care about. "How did we get to this point?" Cus asked calmly looking around at her siblings.
"Coco asked the question and I didn't have the answer so I tried to find mom." Vados admit. "What made her ask such a blunt life-altering question?"
"Well from outside my bedroom door it seems she's feeling a little lost because she's not doing much at home besides taking care of Whis." Cus looked around ready to tear into Whis but couldn't find him. "Where is he!?"
"Ah~ you're being a little reckless in this garden maze." Honey moans out as his lips tickled her neck in their compromised position. "I'm on vacation, I'm allowed to be reckless." Her husband replied running his hands under his wife's shirt.
Whis arrived back from checking up on Beerus unaware of what was going on. He happily hums to himself before Cus rip opened a portal big enough to snatch him through. Her younger siblings stood back stunned at her unseen talent.
"This is your fault!" She yelled gripping onto the collar of Whis shirt bringing him to her level.
"What's my fault!"
"We were all bless fully unaware of the pain we were going to cause our partners until you made Coco feel sad!"
"I've done no such thing!"
"She doesn't even know what a date is Whis!" Vados yelled backing up Cus
"She never said she wanted to go on one!" His siblings groan.
"We are to blame," Cus said softly.
"What! How?"
"While we were out trying to date and break rules he was here under mom's watchful eyes and when she did let him go with us, we only let him stay in the park at the stupid butterfly pavilion." Cus let go of his shirt and he stood up. "I take the blame for your teenage years but there is no excuse for how you're treating Coco in your adult years."
"Didn't you ever go on a date once you left mom and dad?"
"No."
His siblings groan again. "Do you even like the poor girl you propose to?" Cus asked getting upset.
"Of course, I do!"
"Then why don't you do anything with her!?"
"Because I thought she enjoyed doing what she was doing."
"You allow this poor girl to stay in this loop of bland to the point she's only excited to please you!" Cus stop yelling and took a deep breath before putting up her fists.
"I'm going to fight you Whis. Not the well-trained fighting we learn. I'm going to start swinging and I don't know when I'm going to stop." Cus advance forward and Cognac plucked her up. "Let me go I'm going to fight him!"
"Hey do either of you know why our partners are yelling at each other?" Lime asked peeking his head into Vados bedroom. Clover pet Coco's head. "No."
"Is Coco ok?"
"She's having an existential crisis." Lime looked at the two before backing out of the room.
"If you two are done canoodling, your oldest is ready to fistfight your youngest." The faithful butler of the house informed the two from the edge of the garden Pavilion. Honey stood up from her husband's lap and stretch a little.
"Let's deliver this punishment. I need a nap, Merus has tired me out."
Cus manages to break free from her brother's hold and rip a portal big enough to drop them all into Vados room. Clover jump shock and Coco was still unmoved. Her younger siblings all fell from the impact of groaning in pain. "A warning would be nice the next time you decide to toss us," Mojito mumbled.
"Mojito you don't want none of this heat. I suggest shutting up for your safety."
"What's going on here?" Mochi asked concern while opening the bedroom door. His eyes assessed the scene before they land on his tiny angry fiancé. He quickly backed out of the room closing the door.
"Damn, and I thought Vados was scary when piss," Clover muttered to herself.
"Coco, I'm sorry that I unknowingly condition you. I didn't mean to do it, I just thought you enjoyed doing those things. I have unknowingly ignored the romantic aspect of our relationship and only focused on the physical. Please forgive me. I want to make it up to you by taking you on a date."
Coco looked up from the carpet with dull eyes. "I'm sorry Whis I'm too busy with an existential though." Whis words took a minute to catch up with her before the dullness left her eyes.
"Did you ask me on a date?"
"Yes, I did."
"What's a date?"
"I can show you better than I can tell you." Whis held out his hand for her to take, she looked at his hand for a second before reaching out.
A loud sharp smack could be heard. Whis snatched his hand back to nurse the pain. "Did you really think it would be that easy?"
"Mother!"
"We leave for a short period and my children are playing witch hunt and causing debauchery." The tall beauty sigh and shakes her head. "It's like you're all teenagers all over again." Her husband pats her back to help calm down. "And you!" Honey growled out turning back to her main target. "I found you the perfect Dimond, buff her until she shined and you don't take it seriously. It feels like you've spit in my face." Whis open his mouth but was silenced by his enraged mother.
"Apologizing will not be enough. Extreme measures are to be taken so you know how serious this is."
"Mama, I know your yelling at Whis but-"
"What happens when your dormant and your partner is left behind? I'll keep an eye on them but they will most likely be ok on their own. Separation anxiety is common." Mojito shook his head. "How do you know our partners will be faithful and wait for us? You can't play abstinence police for 12 grown-ups."
"If a faithful fail to be faithful. They die and are cast to the fires of hell. Once cast to the fires of hell there are no do-overs." Clover answer sounding dry.
"Do you understand why I'm angry now?"
"I do. You're just trying to help."
"Yes, I don't want you two to end up being a tragic romance. I will be delivering your punishment now." The grand priestess snaps her finger in Coco's directions. Clover and the siblings watch in awe as Coco passed out and her body shift. "This will also give me time to go back and correct somethings."
"She's a teenager!" Whis quickly tried to reach the fallen Coco but was meet with darkness. The priestess had snapped her finger while hit back was turned to her.
"I'll make sure he makes it back to his room." Her husband offered. She nods and turns to Clover. "If you're not too busy I'll need your help setting up Coco's bedroom."
"She's not staying with Whis?"
"Heavens no! Can you imagine what trouble two hormonal teenagers can get into?"
