chapter 9






Pan sighed. There was absolutely NOTHING to do! The others had similar 'I'm-bored-out-of-my-freakin-mind' looks on their faces, and all were in various strange positions around the room.

Trunks was floating about five feet off the ground, tail twitching.

Bulma was pacing back and forth across the ceiling.

Videl was sleeping on the wall.

Juunanagou and Emerald were also asleep in the far corner of the room.

Gohan was sitting on the ceiling and occasionally glancing down at his sensei and Juunanagou and muttering something along the lines of "Oh God, the mental images!" or "Impure thoughts, impure thoughts!".

Goku was gnawing on a carrot dipped in what appeared to be honey.

The babies -Bra, Goten, and Sendai- were all asleep in the next room.

ChiChi was amusing herself with trying to form different shapes with her tail.

Vegeta was standing in a corner, grumbling about stupid women with lavendar hair and other bothersome things.

And as for Pan...... well, she was just sitting around watching the others being bored. ~This sucks. If we're all done training now, why don't we just *leave*?~ She sighed, frustrated. ~Oh yeah... I forgot....... We decided to stay until Emerald's baby is born. Damn!~ Pan glanced over at the former Namek. ~Another... what, 8 months in here?!~ Trunks glanced over at her, eyes half-closed. ~Chill out Pan-chan, we'll figure out something to do eventually.~

Her head shot up. ~Like WHAT? It's boring in here.~ she pouted, crossing her arms. ~I'm happy for Emerald and Juunanagou and all, but for heaven's sake!~

He chuckled softly and floated down beside her, pulling her into his arms and hugging her gently. ~It's okay Pan-chan, we'll survive one way or another.~

Pan rolled her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. ~You're such a jerk, Trunks-chan.~ she teased, a light smile dancing across her lips.

~I know.~ Trunks grinned and tenderly brushed his lips over hers. ~But I'm *your* jerk, love.~

~And don't you forget it!~ Pan replied, smirking back at her mate.

Bulma glanced down at her mate from her position on the ceiling, (o.o) a bored expression on her face. ~Geta, it's boring in here!~ she whined, floating down to stand in front of him.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her. ~So, find something to do.~ he told her, glancing absently towards the room where the babies were sleeping. ~Go practice your technique's or something.~

She pouted slightly. ~Will you come with me, Geta-chan?~ she asked, giving him the 'sad puppy face'.

He melted. ~All right, go get changed.~ he sighed gruffly, a scowl marring his features.

She squealed happily and skipped off to their room to change into her training gi. Vegeta continued muttering about 'getting soft' and 'lavendar hair', as was usual these days, until she returned in her skin-tight, royal purple spandex gi, whereupon he practically started to drool over his mate.

Bulma smirked and dragged him outside, an evil grin on her face. "Oh, and Vegeta, I've developed a few new techniques I want to show you..."





ChiChi blinked and glanced up at Goku. You could practically *see* the question marks appearing over her head as she watched him examine every inch of the room. "Goku-chan, what the hell are you doing?" she demanded, raising an eyebrow at her mate.

Goku shrugged. "Looking for... uh...... nothing?" he tried, shaking his head. "I'm just bored. This is better than not doing anything."

She sweatdropped. "Goku-chan, I swear! You'll never grow up!" she sighed, rolling her eyes.

He levitated down beside her. "ChiChi, you say that all the time." he commented, absently waving a hand in her direction. "Well, are you going to go to bed now or not? I'm tired!"

ChiChi nodded slowly. "Yeah, let's go to sleep now." she replied, climbing into the bed she shared with her mate and slipping under the covers. Goku soon followed, and she felt his arms wrap around her thin waist. She yawned, finally realizing just how tired she really was, and turned to peck him on the lips. "Oyasumi nasai, Goku-chan. I love you."

He smiled. "Oyasumi nasai, ChiChi. I love you too."





Videl yawned sleepily and rested her head on her mate's chest, eyes half-closed. "Gohan-chan?" she asked softly, a light smile on her face.

"Mmmhm?" Gohan mumbled, nearly asleep.

She grinned and began tracing little patterns across his stomach. "Nothing. I love you, Gohan."

"I love you too, Videl-chan." he replied, turning slightly and pulling her closer.

"Gohan? Do you think we'll be able to beat Cell?"

"Of course, Videl-chan. Now go to sleep, it's late and you need the rest." Gohan yawned.

"Gohan, if we do beat Cell, would you mind having more children?" she asked softly, glancing up at him.

Gohan's eyes popped open. "More children? Videl, what brought that on?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at his tiny mate.

She blushed. "Well, it's just that..... I always wanted more than one baby, but we only had Pan and I guess we never thought about having more, what with all the trouble that happened after she was born. And... now that Sendai, Bra, and Goten are here, and Emerald is going to have a baby, I... well... I want another baby."

His eyes slid closed again. "Videl-chan, you know I wanted more children as well. But are you really sure you want this?"

She nodded. "Yes. I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I want another baby, Gohan-chan." she replied firmly, a determined glint in her eyes.

Her mate sighed. "Sure. When we beat Cell, we'll try to have another baby."

Videl smiled happily and curled up against his side. "Arigato, koi."

"Mmm." he mumbled, resting his chin on her head and attempting to go back to sleep. "Good night, love." "Good night, Gohan-chan."
