Another few weeks passed and everyone had returned to their normal routines for the most part. Instead of being able to train with Tapion and Trunks like Yuuki had wanted, the woman now spent her time mostly helping Bulma with her research while attempting to deal with the new challenges of being pregnant...

Yuuki placed a hand on the small bump that was just beginning to show under her capsule corp uniform, smiling to herself for a moment before returning to Bulma's desk with the files she had requested.

"Ah, thank you Yuuki!" The blue haired woman sighed appreciatively, able to get so much more done now that she could actually access the information she was always looking for. "I don't know how you got that filing cabinet back under control... You're the best assistant I've ever had!"

"I'm glad I could help. It's the least I could do after everything you've done for us..." Yuuki answered, very grateful that she and Tapion had gotten to live with the Briefs family and come to know them all so well.

"You're family as far as I'm concerned." Bulma smiled, knowing that her son thought of the pair as his adopted big brother and sister. "Oh! And that reminds me!" She said suddenly before grinning, "Why don't you take a little break and we'll talk later... I have a few things I have to take care of."

Yuuki blinked a few times, staring back at her friend before nodding. "Thanks Bulma, I think I'll go see how Trunks and Tapion are doing..." She said, sending her a tiny wave before heading out the door. 

I wonder what she's up to... She thought, making your way towards the training grounds as you spied two familiar fighters in the distance.

Yuuki watched them both for a moment, enjoying seeing Tapion sparring with Trunks as the boy tried to land a blow on him. They had both improved greatly in a short amount of time, being motivated to train so much as she could only sit back and spectate...

Finally Tapion glanced over, both fighters locking eyes as the red haired man sent Yuuki a surprised smile.

They both powered down for now, landing on the grass before heading her way.

"Hi Yuuki!" Trunks said happily, jogging over as Tapion joined him. "Did you come to watch us train? I've gotten a lot stronger!"

"I can see that..." Said woman chuckled, ruffling the boy's lavender hair as he laughed. "Bulma wanted me to take a little break so she could finish something she was working on. She wouldn't tell me what though..." Yuuki finished, genuinely curious as she heard Trunks snicker.

"I know what it iiiis..." The young Saiyan teased, running around comically. "I know, I know, I kno-ow!"

Yuuki pinched the smaller boy's cheek while hearing Tapion laugh, always seeming to enjoy her antics.

"Tell me Trunks! Pleaseee..." Yuuki whined while looking at him, eyes sparkling convincingly as he backed away, continuing to dodge her incoming pinch attacks.

"No way! Mom would kill me!" He said seriously, jumping up into the air and hovering just out of reach before smirking. "Bye!"

"Get back here!" Yuuki shouted, watching him sail towards the house easily before sighing. She placed her hands on her hips before glancing back towards Tapion, pouting while knowing that was a technique she needed to learn...

"Someone better teach me how to fly one day..."

"Maybe after the baby is here?" Tapion suggested, smiling down at Yuuki before pulling her into his arms. "You know, you should be taking it easy..." He added, still a bit worried that she insisted on keeping herself in her powered up form all the time.

"I am taking it easy..." Yuuki argued, looking up at him while raising an eyebrow. "I'm incredibly bored."

Tapion's deep laugh made the small woman grin as he hugged her closer, placing a kiss on top of her head before speaking. "You're still not training."

"Fineee..." Yuuki agreed, knowing the man was right and only had her best interests at heart... She leaned her head against his chest, enjoying the moment before a familiar voice rang out...

"Hey lovebirds!" Bulma shouted, getting both fighters attention as a faint blush began to appear on their respective faces. "Come on inside! I've got something to show you!"

"Must be what she was working on..." Yuuki said, turning to walk towards the house just before she was swept off your feet. "Tapion! I can walk!" She huffed, giggling lightly while thinking about the lengths this man went to for her.

"I like carrying you." The hero stated simply, smirking down at his partners crimson cheeks before floating into the air, the two of them sailing towards the main section of buildings before touching down on the ground once more. Gohan and Videl were there waiting, along with Bulma and Trunks as Yuuki seriously wondered what was going on...

"Hey Yuuki, hey Tapion!" Videl waved, smiling at you both as Gohan did the same.

During the course of their stay with the Briefs, Yuuki had gotten to know the other young couple fairly well, the four of them often choosing to babysit Trunks and Goten all together rather than separately. Hanging out with them was definitely fun, usually including Yuuki and Videl chatting about baby things while Tapion and Gohan trained or played with the younger boys.

"What's up guys?" Yuuki asked, eager to be let in on the apparent secret as Trunks jumped up and down excitedly.

"We're going for a little ride," Bulma explained, pulling a remote out of her pocket before pressing a few buttons as a small ship came flying over. "All aboard!"

Once everyone had climbed inside the ship took off, flying over a few patches of forest before landing in a tiny clearing.

"Where are we?" Yuuki mumbled, not recognizing the surrounding landscape at all... Eventually looking up at Tapion in confusion as the man only shrugged.

Everyone stepped out of the ship, following Bulma and Trunks as they made their way down a narrow path. Yuuki felt Tapion grab her hand, both of them walking behind everyone else as they reached yet another clearing.

And finally, Yuuki saw it.

It was like no time had passed at all as she stood there, staring at the temple she had once called home. Suddenly the woman remembered Bulma's promise, all of it seeming so far away as she recalled how the scientist had vowed to rebuild her house after helping Tapion, Goku and the others defeat Hirudegarn.

"I did some research..." Bulma spoke up, eyeing Yuuki closely as she watched her looking around, taking in everything she'd done to make the woman's home just as it was before that fateful day. "There were some public records of your family's temple, so I used those to replicate this... I hope you like it Yuuki. We've loved having you and Tapion staying with us," The blue haired woman went on, trying not to get emotional. "But I think you two are going to need your own place now..."

"And guess what? Gohan and I are right next door!" Videl piped up, sending the other couple a happy smile as Yuuki blinked back at her. "Well, it's a few miles away, but we can visit all the time!"

Gohan grinned, putting an arm around the dark haired woman as he glanced around at the temple and surrounding ponds and trees, amazed at what his father's friend was capable of creating.

"Well, what do you think?" Bulma urged, everyone waiting for Yuuki to say something...

"It's... It's..."

Yuuki let go of Tapion's hand for a moment before yanking her teal haired friend into a tight embrace, trying her best to control her emotions while also fighting back tears. "It's perfect. I can't believe you did this Bulma..." Yuuki sniffed, getting choked up as a few tears escaped before rolling down her cheeks.

"Oh Yuuki..." Bulma hugged said woman back, genuinely happy to have made such a great friend. "I'm happy to do it!" She went on, wiping her eyes before letting go and shooing her towards Tapion. "Ah, I forgot! I've got to make those reservations! Sorry guys, we've gotta go..."

Trunks whined for a moment before his mother explained that it was dinner time as well, making everyone laugh before they all said their goodbyes. Gohan and Videl took off in the direction of their home, just a short flight away from where Yuuki and Tapion now lived.

Now that everyone was gone Yuuki finally had a moment to take it all in, both fighters walking up the path and stopping just before the door as they looked around at their new home.

Yuuki felt her lover hug her from behind as she smiled, relaxing against him as his hand came to rest on the tiny bump under her shirt.

"Welcome home."

...

A few days later...

...

Gohan and Videl were over visiting, the boys all making themselves busy playing a game as the two women sat under the shade of a large cherry blossom tree.

"Have you thought about any names?" Videl asked, taking a sip of her tea as she wondered when Gohan and her might be thinking about that very same thing...

"Hmm, we haven't talked about it yet..." Yuuki answered, stretching a bit before taking a sip of her own drink. "I guess it depends on whether it's a boy or a girl..."

Videl nodded, the two of them continuing to chat about a few more random things before Yuuki smirked, getting an idea.

"So... You think you'll have a little Gohan running around any time soon?"

"Wha- Yuuki!" Videl stuttered, blushing seventeen shades of crimson as her friend giggled.

"Oh come on, not like you haven't thought about it..." Yuuki went on, continuing to laugh as the other woman waved her hands in front of her face.

"What are you two talking about?" Gohan said suddenly, making them both jump before looking over and seeing Tapion, Gohan and the two younger Saiyans approaching.

"N-Nothing! Nothing!" Videl stuttered, getting to her feet quickly before dusting herself off. "Come on Gohan, we've got to get these two home anyway..." She finished, fighting the blush on her face while Yuuki smiled innocently.

"Nooooooo..." The two half Saiyans whined in unison, making everyone chuckle as Tapion spoke up.

"It is getting late..." He stated, noticing that the edge of the sky was beginning to reflect a golden light as he offered his hand before pulling Yuuki to her feet.

She smiled up at Tapion, both of them looking at each other lovingly before Goten and Trunks started holding their stomachs and making gagging noises. Everyone had a good laugh at the boys antics before they all went their separate ways, Yuuki and Tapion walking inside their own house as the pregnant woman sighed. The stew she had made earlier filled the house with a delicious aroma as she took it all in, quickly sitting down on a large chair in the living room before getting comfortable.

"Whatever you made smells amazing." Tapion commented, raising his brows before throwing a couple logs in the fireplace.

"Videl gave me the recipe." Yuuki said with a grin, yawning a bit as she snuggled into the chair. "She said that whenever she makes it, Gohan ends up eating the whole thing." She finished, making Tapion laugh as she shook her head, realizing how often that woman must have to cook.

Once the fire was lit, Tapion grabbed both himself and Yuuki a bowl of the very fragrant stew, the two of them eating together while chatting about their day.

"So, Videl asked me if we had thought of any names yet..." Yuuki said putting her dinner down breifly while thinking. "Any ideas?"

The red haired man stopped eating, thinking for a minute as he hadn't really given the subject much thought either. He had never thought he'd be in this situation, already having to get used to the fact that he was soon going to be a father...

"Well, um... Didn't you say that you had a brother?" Yuuki said suddenly, the fire in front of them both crackling as silence filled the air. "If it's a boy... Maybe we can name the baby after him."

Tapion sent his partner a surprised grin, picking up their dishes before moving to sit beside her.

"That would make me very happy..." He admitted, putting an arm around Yuuki before sighing and leaning back into the chair, his other hand coming to rest on her growing baby. "It would be a great way to honor his memory..."

"Minotia... I like that name." She said happily, leaning against him while smiling. "Now we just need to figure out another name in case it's a girl..." Yuuki realized, giggling before another yawn escaped her mouth.

Tapion stretched, pulling the small woman closer before standing up with her in his arms as he made his way towards their now shared bedroom...

As they both got comfortable under the covers, Yuuki blinked her eyes slowly, nearly falling asleep as she felt the bed shift, a toned chest eventually pressing against her back... Her lover's arms wrapped themselves around her smaller body perfectly as she felt Tapion's breath on her neck, his hand beginning to massage her sides gently.

"Mmm... Tapion..." Yuuki sighed, relaxing into his touches as she felt herself heating up, the tension between the two finally coming to a breaking point as she turned around, coming face to face with him before smirking. "I'm not that tired..." She whispered, her heart beating faster as she felt the handsome fighter pull her face towards him...

"I was hoping you'd say that..."
