"The whole bottle? Baby?" Videl looked at Trunks and Goten with a raised eyebrow. "Don't tell me...."

Goten chuckled. "Ok, we won't tell you."

Pan skidded down the hall, almost knocking her mother over, and peeked into the room, "Uncle Goten's pregnant! I WIN!!!"

Gohan looked up. "Win what?" he and Goten asked at the same time.

"Bra bet before four months was up and I bet after, and it's after so I win, gotta go call her bye!" she squeaked out really quickly before turning to make a dash back upstairs to where she'd been listening at the grate.

Goten looked up in fear. "Stop her Gohan! We can't let Trunks' family find out like this!"

Gohan stood up. "PAN! Get back down here NOW!" he shouted

Pan stopped so quickly on her way up the stairs, the teenager tumbled down, then scrambled to her feet.

Trunks was struck silent in his own fear. What if... oh gods..." he closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose, shaking almost as badly as he had when he was a woman.

Gohan stood and looked at his daughter. "You will not tell Bra until she already knows from Goten and Trunks, and if I find out she learned beforehand, you are grounded." He stated sternly.

"Uhm... what kind of grounded are we talking about here?" Pan asked.

Gohan narrowed his eyes. "School and back, me driving the aircar. No flying, or shopping - and the credit card taken back."

Pan's eyes widened, then she nodded, "I won't say anything!"

"Thanks..." Trunks said quietly, his head now in his hands. Videl was now sitting on the arm of the couch on Trunks's other side, rubbing his back, "It'll be okay, sweetie."

Goten came and snuggled up to Trunks on the other side. "Of course it will be. We've already shown that we can be good parents, right?"

As Pan slipped off, Trunks looked up at Gohan, "You'll protect Goten, Truten, and the baby right? If he kills me, you WILL protect them?"

It became clear now, that Trunks held Gohan as the strongest, on par with Goku... if not above.

Gohan chuckled. "Of course, but I don't think Vegeta'll have a chance to kill you. Dad and I will stop him long before he gets a chance."

Trunks smiled weakly, "Thanks...."

"Just LOOK at those circles under your eyes!" Videl looked at the two of them. "Have you even eaten today? Did you even SLEEP last night?"

Goten shook her head. "Not really... it was a long night."

Gohan shook his head, then walked over and took Truten into his arms. "Think you two can HANDLE another baby?" he asked.

Trunks jumped up, scowling, "If you're even IMPLYING..."

Gohan held his free hand up. "I'm not implying anything, Trunks. I just hope you both know what you're getting into. Two children are a lot to handle. Mom waited until I was almost a teenager before having a second child."

"We can handle it," Trunks told him. "Last night was just a little rough, that's all," he was positively furious in his quiet speaking.

Gohan looked from Trunks to Goten, not understanding where this sudden silent rage was coming from. "Ok...."

Videl looked between them and stood, "Calm down, Trunks - nobody's going to take anybody away from you," she said almost off handedly. "C'mon to the kitchen you two, I'll make you something to eat." I swear, that man needs a Son to Briefs translation manual....

Trunks eyed Gohan a moment longer.

Goten stood up. "Trunks, Gohan isn't saying anything more than making sure we know what we're getting into...."

Gohan nodded.

His eyes narrowed slightly, before he nodded, putting his arm protectively around Goten as Videl led them to the kitchen.

Gohan sighed, looking at Truten. "I really hope you don't become as paranoid as your parents..." he chuckled, kissing the little girl's belly.

Goten heard and just chuckled, kissing Trunks on the cheek.

After being well fed by Videl, Trunks and Goten finally made their way over to the other Son household, Truten on Trunks's shoulders as they walked over. He glanced at Goten, worried, "You don't think they'd..."

"This is my Dad we're talking about... but I think we're safe, as long as Pan didn't escape," Goten stated softly.

"Actually, in this case - I'm more worried about your mom..." Trunks got to the door and was about to knock, when it opened.

Goku stood there with a big grin, and Truten squealed, reaching for him. Trunks had to be careful that she didn't fall as Goku took her, "Come in come in! CHI!!!" Goku called inside, stepping back, "Goten and Trunks and Truten are here!" He paused, then blinked. Then he grinned. "AND THEY HAVE NEWS!!!!"

Goten whimpered. "Dad..."

Goku blinked, looking at Goten, "Well... you do...."

Trunks just paled.

Chi Chi came out, wiping her hands clean. "No need to shout, Goku. So, where's my grand daughter?" She smiled, then held her arms out to Truten.

Goten just looked at his father, begging him to not say anything, just yet, with this eyes.

Goku looked amused as he handed Truten over to Chichi, but nodded his assent. "You guys hungry?"

"No thank you, Videl just gave us breakfast," Trunks said, still a little pale.

Chi Chi tickled her grand daughter, smiling. "How about you, Goten? No room for Mom's cooking?"

Goten shook her head. "No, mom, my stomach's full."

Truten giggled, curling up and grabbing onto Chichi's clothing as she squealed.

"Well come in you two, have a seat," Goku grinned, closing the door.

"Thanks," Trunks said quietly. Maybe... chichi won't have a fit? Inwardly he scoffed, Yeah, and today Hell's experiencing frost....

"So, how have you been, Mom? Dad?" Goten asked.

Chi Chi sat Truten down in a highchair and pulled out a piece of bread for the infant to play with. "We're doing good, dear. Same old same old. How about you two?" she asked as Truten immediately began trying to shred the bread.

"We're... doing alright," Trunks nodded, looking to Goten.

Chi Chi looked at them, then tilted her head. "So, I heard Goku exclaim that you had news. What is it?"

"Uhm well..." Trunks looked to Goten.

"Go on, nothing to be worried about," Goku encouraged them.

Truten squealed and threw a piece of bread at Goku, which he caught in his mouth and ate.

Goten squeaked. "Um... well, Mom... " Goten rubbed the back of her head. "Remember how happy you were when you found out about Truten?"

Chi Chi nodded, still a bit confused.

Trunks took a deep breath. "Well... you're going to be a grandmother again..." he bit his lower lip.

Goku just beamed.

Chi Chi blinked. Then she looked at Goten, who gave her a hesitent smile.

"You mean you... you're pregnant now?" she asked.

Trunks nodded, "Yeah... Goten's pregnant...."

Chi Chi jumped up from her seat, grabbing Goten and hugging her tightly. "Oh Goten! I've always wanted to have a daughter... but now, oh, you've found a way to make my dream come true! I get to help a daughter have a baby!" she squealed.

Trunks blinked, "You mean... you're happy about this?"

"Of course I am!" Chi Chi let go of Goten, who held onto the table, trying to regain her balance as Chi Chi grabbed Trunks and hugged him tightly. "Why shouldn't I be happy?"

Trunks meeped as he caught her, just barely keeping his balance, "I... uhm... Thanks?" he hugged her back.

Goku laughed.

And Truten... pelted her parents, and grandparents, with bread crumbs.

Goten chuckled and went to her daughter, holding up a piece of bread for her to eat. "I'm glad you're happy, Mom... we were kinda afraid that you might not be that happy."

Chi Chi just chuckled. "Well, you two practically ARE a married couple. You can have kids if you want."

Trunks just grinned, at least now he KNEW Goten and their children would be safe - with the whole Son family behind them. He held no illusions as to who the strongest under the heavens were.

Chi Chi clapped her hands. "Okay, we really have to celebrate now. Let me find some ice creame or something!" she pranced off into the kitchen.

"Just don't call my mom!" Trunks squeaked.

Chi Chi nodded. "Of course, dear. I wouldn't want to spoil you breaking the news to her."

Trunks slid down in his chair, "The news isn't the only thing that's gonna be broken...."
