It was an emotional return home as everyone was glad to have Yuuki back. After Trunks had recovered with the help of a senzu bean, the boy had practically launched himself at her, refusing to let go until his mother ushered him away so she could do some tests. 

Everything came back normal, the baby was healthy and it seemed like things would go back to the way they were before... But Yuuki just couldn't relax. The feeling of being so helpless, so at the mercy of that insane bastard... It had stuck with the woman and Bulma, Tapion and the others seemed to notice.

She emerged from Bulma's lab in her powered up form, continuing to draw a steady stream of energy towards herself as she kept her power level higher than normal. Even though she was home and surrounded by Tapion and her friends, it was like something was telling her to keep her guard up...

Bulma suggested that she get some rest, giving Tapion a meaningful look as he lead her towards a familiar room in the Briefs complex. And now, here they were...

Both fighteres had finally gotten a moment of privacy, the two of them sitting together on Yuuki's bed as she tried to make sense of everything that had happened.

The blue haired woman sighed, thinking about what her friends had just gone through to get her back. She felt Tapion pull her closer as she continued to zone out... 

I can't believe I let my guard down like that... Yuuki thought, leaning her head on Tapion's chest as she thought back to her last encounter with the mysterious thief. And they took the dragon balls... Because of me...

"Yuuki..." Tapion began cautiously, snapping her out of her thoughts as she looked up into a pair of concerned green eyes. 

"Earlier... You said you had something to tell me? Do you want to talk about it now?"

Her eyes widened, suddenly remembering everything she and Bulma had discussed a few days ago...

OH MY DENDE... I still have to tell him I'm... I'm...

"Yuuki...?" Tapion frowned, feeling her tense in his arms as he read the signs of anxiety all over her face. "Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it..." He went on, running a hand through aqua hair and sending a reassuring smile as he felt her relax slightly.

"You're right..." Yuuki replied, letting out a deep breath while smiling back. The look in your partner's eyes giving her the courage she needed to finally give him the news. "Tapion... I... I'm pregnant."

Yuuki sat there for what felt like an eternity, watching the words sink in... The man in front of her looked confused for a split second, eventually smiling brightly before responding.

"I'm... I'm going to be a father?"

"Mmhmm..." Yuuki nodded, beginning to blush at the excited expression Tapion was wearing. She gasped suddenly as she was picked up, the hero hugging her to his chest tightly as he laughed.

"That's great!" He went on, seeming truly happy as he returned the small woman's feet to the ground before gazing down at her lovingly. "Everything is going to be okay Yuuki..." Tapion reassured, grabbing both her hands in his own as he understood why she might be nervous.

"Tapion..."

"I've never been so excited about the future..." The fighter said suddenly, shaking his head for a moment before continuing. "The good, the bad... I want to live all of it with you. I couldn't be happier and it's all because of you Yuuki..." He finished seriously, a faint pink dusting appearing on his cheeks as he spoke.

"Everything will work out as long as we're together." Tapion said, running a hand down his partner's back as he wondered what his life would even be like now if fate hadn't intervened. 

"And always will be..." Yuuki added, leaning against his strong chest once more as she laid her head there, hearing his heart beating loudly. "We're going to have a baby..." She giggled, still getting used to the surprising news herself as both fighters enjoyed this happy moment together. 

"I'll take care of you... Both of you." The red haired man promised, leaning down to place a gentle kiss on Yuuki's lips as she finally started to feel a bit more at ease. She wouldn't forget what had happened overnight, but with Tapion here, she knew he'd keep both her and thier soon to be child safe...

Meanwhile, outside...

...

"Whoever they were, I can't believe they got away with the dragon balls..." Gohan said, clearly disappointed as Goku and Vegeta frowned.

"Well you left Trunks alone to guard them?!" Bulma shouted, glaring at her husband as he remained silent. "What were you thinking?!"

"Rrr... Woman..."

"It seemed like a good idea at the time..." Goku chimed in, scratching his head as he tried to explain himself. "We weren't planning on them having a plan..." The Saiyan finished, wondering what whoever took them could be up to.

"We'll just have to track them down again with the radar and get them back before anything bad happens..." Gohan realized, looking at his father and friends as they all seemed to agree.

...

On a distant planet...

...

The hooded fighter walked up a long flight of steps, finally arriving at the top of a tower as they finally saw who they had come to speak with.

"My Lord," The smaller person bowed, placing the bag with the dragon balls at their master's feet before stepping back and taking a knee. 

"Let me guess..." The man on the throne chuckled, raising a brow before continuing. "That fool Oberon was having too much fun? I told him not to underestimate them..."

His crimson eyes glared down at the person kneeling before him, smirking as he couldn't care less about the other man's fate. All he wanted were the dragon balls. And now that he had them, he was one step closer to fulfilling his wish and ruling over every realm, as was his right! An evil grin crept across the red haired man's face as he laughed, envisioning his new world revived once more. 

A few more preparations and then, it will be time... For the Demon Realm to rule again!
