Note from the author: thank you all for reading I want to wrap this up in another couple of chapters. I really don't want to exceed 40 chapters lol
Once done I might condense it and repost. Please let me know your thoughts and as always enjoy
And just like that 7 years passed like a blink of an eye.
Goku spent his days training and enjoying the seven meals that were served in Dragon Realm.
He even participated in The Other World Martial Arts Tournament that Midori-ko and Daisuke got to watch Goku.
Most days Midori-ko was busy assisting Daisuke rule over Dragon Realm but when she wasn't Midori-ko found any excuse to spend time with Goku.
Daisuke had become a strong Emperor with the help of his mother.
He was turning 20 and would soon take a wife which his mom was helping him with but a lot of times Daisuke was distracted by training with his father Goku.
Midori-ko and Goku were settling in for the night in their room as they normally did...
" I couldn't believe we were having a full blown conversation about what kind of shampoo Daisuke should be using in his hair." Midori-ko says brushing out her hair in the bathroom mirror. She'd already gotten comfortable and was in her bedtime robe.
" That sounds silly." Goku smiles going over to the balcony and opens the doors and steps out "I'll never get tired of that view." Goku sighs happily looking at all the beautiful lights coming from the kingdom below the castle
" I could say the same thing." Midori-ko smiles walking up to Goku. Goku was only in his nighttime pants so he stood shirtless on the balcony
" Oh stop." Goku smiles putting his arm around Midori-ko's waist
" Did you have a good day?" Midori-ko asks
" It was productive I got in almost a full day of training today." Goku smiles
" Good." Midori-ko rests her hand on Goku's chest
" King Kai shared something with me." Goku starts
" What?" Midori-ko asks
" There's going to be another World Martial Arts Tournament on Earth coming up." Goku tells her
" Oh exciting." Midori-ko smiles
" Do you care if I go?" Goku asks rubbing the small of her back
" Why would I care? You should go." Midori-ko looks up at him
" You sure you're okay with me using my one day for the tournament?" Goku asks
" I don't mind at all." Midori-ko smiles up at Goku " Besides it's your day to decide not mine."
" Right on I'm going to intensify my training then." Goku pumps his left arm getting Midori-ko to laugh
" You know Daisuke is going to want to go." Midori-ko tells him
" Is he allowed to?" Goku asks
" Is he allowed to?" Midori-ko laughs "I think sometimes you forget who your son is." Midori-ko smiles
" Yeah sometimes." Goku smirks" Are you going to want to go?" Goku asks
" Do you want me to?" Midori-ko asks
" If you want to." Goku nods
" I'd love that ." Midori-ko smiles at Goku.
Goku leaned in and kisses Midori-ko holding her close.
" There's something else." Goku pressed his forehead against Midori-ko's
" Yes?"
" I just...if they ask me to stay what do you want me to do?" Goku asks
" Goku." Midori-ko breathes " You...I can't make that choice for you."
" I still want to know." Goku says " I can't change what happened in the past but I can't help but think this is what our life would have been like if we would have fought harder to be together." Goku tells Midori-ko
" I... you mean if I'd fought harder." Midori-ko sighs
" Don't say that." Goku holds Midori-ko closer "I told you if I had the choice it would have always been you."
" I know." Midori-ko hugs Goku
" These years I've spent with you have showed me what life could have been like." Goku says " But I do love and miss my family on Earth."
" I know you do." Midori-ko sighs
" Midori-ko." Goku leans back to hold her face " I'm happy here."
" Goku whatever you decide I support you a thousand percent." Midori-ko tells him
" I...I want to sleep on it." Goku says
" That's okay." Midori-ko smiles " Let's get some sleep."
" Yeah."

Breakfast the next morning...
" Wait you're going to Earth?" Daisuke asks looking up from his meal.
He was decked out in a vibrant red and orange Emperor kimono, Daisuke hadn't put on his hat yet allowing his now waist long crimson hair hang down.
It was clear as day that Daisuke was Goku's son. He took after Goku expect for the color of his hair. Luckily Goku's wild hair was no longer a characteristic of Daisuke but everything else was Goku.
" Yup I'm going to start training today." Goku says with a mouthful of bacon and eggs
" Goku dear heart chew your food." Midori-ko smirks over her coffee cup " I don't need my sexy beast choking."
" Sorry." Goku swallowed "The sexiest dragon gets what she wants."
Midori-ko responded by wiggling her tongue suggestively at Goku
" You two need to stop." Daisuke's face turns bright red
" I'm sorry Daisuke you'll understand when you find your person." Midori-ko smiles at Goku who had went back to eating
" I'm sure." Daisuke rolls his eyes
" Have you picked out a wife?" Midori-ko asks
" You know it's kinda unfair you two got to meet become friends then fall in love.'" Daisuke points out
" Is that what you want?" Midori-ko asks
" Yes I want what you guys have." Daisuke says
" She beats me." Goku grins
" With bricks." Midori-ko smiles back at Goku
" See." Daisuke points "I want that."
" What?" Goku looks at Daisuke
" I see the way you look at each other and I want someone to look at me like that and visa versa." Daisuke explains
" I understand that's why I never agreed to a betrothal for you." Midori-ko shares " You see how that turned out for me."
" Exactly." Daisuke nods " Oh crap I got to meet the lords and ladies we're discussing what to do about this summers hunting laws." Daisuke says putting on his Emperor hat
" Hey do you want to watch me at the World Martial Arts Tournament?" Goku asks
" Uh duh." Daisuke smiles " You were unbelievable at the other world tournament I want to see you fight for real again." Daisuke gives him a thumbs up before leaving the private breakfast dining room.
" So." Goku reached for a cinnamon roll
" So?" Midori-ko asks
" I came to a decision." Goku picks at the cinnamon roll
" Shoot." She pours herself more coffee
" I can't bail out earth everytime something bad happens, so I'm going to let the new generation defend earth." Goku tells Midori-ko
" Are you sure?" Midori-ko asks
" Yeah even if I was revived I wouldn't be around forever so the new generation needs to know how to defend earth." Goku nods
" Okay if you're sure." Midori-ko says
