chapter 12






"I can NOT believe that *Mom* beat Cell..... and in like, 10 seconds!" Pan groaned, for perhaps the one hundredth time, face buried in her hands. "This is so embarassing...."

Trunks sweatdropped. "Panny, any one of us could have done the same thing. All that training made us incredibly powerful." he told her, rolling his eyes slightly at his mate's behavior. "Good Lord, Pan! Get a grip!"

Pan stared up at him and her eyes teared over. "Y-you snapped at me!" she whimpered, then burst into tears.

Her mate sweatdropped. ~Must be that time of the month again...~

~I HEARD THAT!! AND IT IS NOT!!~ Pan wailed back at him; and her crying continued.

~Damn mental link...~

~TRUNKS!!!!!~

~Shit.~

Bulma glanced over at the couple, slightly amused. "Wonder what they're arguing about now?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"From the looks of it, I think Trunks made some kind of stupid comment about Pan being on her *ahem* monthly cycle." Videl replied, shaking her head.

"Hmph, typical male." ChiChi snorted, rolling her eyes.

Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and Juunanagou all looked at each other, blushing profusely.

Emerald looked up from Diamond and smirked at them. "Idiots."

"Daddy!" Bra squeaked, tugging on Vegeta's pantleg.

He looked down at her. "What is it, brat?"

Bra frowned and thrust her arms towards him insistantly. He sweatdropped and scooped her into his arms, grumbling the whole time about women and lavendar hair.

Bulma smirked at her mate. "That's right Vegeta, we control you and you know it."

Goku snickered. ~Hehe, man, Bulma and Bra have him wrapped around their little fingers!~

ChiChi glanced sharply at him and he flinched. ~Ah-hem, who controls who in this family?~

Juunanagou chuckled. ~Kinda hard to tell who controls who in this family!~

Emerald raised an eyebrow. "Dear, go change Diamond's diaper, he smells." she commanded, shoving their son into his arms.

"Yes sweetheart." Juunanagou replied, obediently trotting off towards the bathroom to change the babies diaper.

Everyone glanced at each other and snickered.

"Henpecked already." Goku sighed, shaking his head.

"Yep, he's done for." Vegeta agreed, nodding.

Gohan and Trunks glanced at each other and smirked.

Bulma, ChiChi, and Videl burst into fits of giggles.

Pan just continued to wail, obviously waiting for Trunks to apologize......

Emerald coughed slightly. "Well, at least Cell is gone for good now."

"Pan-chan, darling, I'm sorry, really! Just pleaseeeee stop crying now!"

Videl nodded her agreement. "Yeah. He was really kind of weak, though."

"Pan, sweety, please please please!"

"It was because we had been training so much." Bulma pointed out, brushing a stray lock of hair out of her eyes.

"Panny, honey, baby, sweetheart, my eardrums are going to burst!"

Goku shrugged. "I dunno, maybe that kick to the jewels just weakened him momentarily."

"Oh please love, I'm sorry! Really I am!"

Vegeta winced slightly despite himself. "Yeah, that would probably do the trick."

"Sweetie, come on, please don't cry!"

Juunanagou returned and handed Diamond back to Emerald. "Well, it could be that he wasn't all that powerful in the first place."

*KLANG!!!*

"Well, whatever it was, I think we should just forget about it. It's not really worth worrying about anymore." ChiChi commented, tail creeping up to wrap around Goku's wrist.

"Daddy, awe you okay?" Sendai asked, eyes widening slightly as she stared down at her father.

"Yeah sweetie..... fine...." Trunks groaned, rubbing the spot on his head where Pan had clobbered him with a frying pan.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"Don't upset a woman... especially a Saiyan woman..." Gohan sighed, shaking his head at his son-in-law.

Videl smirked at him. "And don't you forget it!"

Emerald yawned. "I'm tired, I think we should all get some rest for tonight. We can discuss all this tomorrow, if you think it's that important." she muttered, scooping Tigerlily into her other arm and dragging Juunanagou into their section of Capsule Corp.

"Heh, I guess she's right." Bulma sighed, stretching. "It's time to hit the hay! I'm pooped!"

Everyone agreed and soon they had all departed to go home or to their assigned section of Capsule Corp.


Trunks sighed and glanced over at his mate. "Panny, you aren't really mad at me, are you?"

She raised an eyebrow. "No, not really."

He smiled, relieved, and moved over to wrap his arms around her waist. "Good. I hate it when you're mad at me."

"Trunks?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

Trunks glanced down at her, still smiling gently. "I love you too, Panny." he replied, leaning down and brushing his lips across hers. "I'm glad...... that Cell wasn't as powerful as we thought. I was afraid I'd lose you, or that I'd be killed and have to leave you alone."

Pan smiled. "Don't think about it anymore, love. It's all over now, and we can go back to our...... semi-normal lives." she murmured, then leaned forward and kissed him again. ~From now on, Tru-chan, it's just us. You and me and Sendai, and that's how it should be. Forever.~


~The End~
