After GT-- Life Without The Dragonballs: Second Chances Saga By SSBra

After Bulma came down from consoling Bra, Vegeta and her announced that they would be getting married. Pan had to once again hand Saruku to his grandpa and help Trunks up out of the floor. The newlyweds couldn't believe that Trunks's parents were finally going to tie the knot.
"You're really gonna get married?!" Trunks asked as his mother brought him a glass of water.
"Yeah, we are," she smiled to him.
"Why is that such a surprise?" His father raised an eyebrow.
"Because Vegeta-sama, that's a Human tradition. You've never been too keen on Human traditions," Pan explained.
"Well, I guess it's time I become 'keen' on them. My onna's Human; my son and daughter are half- Human; you're three-quarters Human, and Saruku, well, hmm . . . let's see."
"I think he's like a sixth- Saiyan or something," Trunks shrugged.
"Anyways, he's more Human than anything," Vegeta said as the infant pulled on his hair.
"I think it's great that you and Bulma-sama are getting married," Pan beamed. Bulma moved over closer to Vegeta, and he put his arm that wasn't holding Saruku around her. Trunks looked on as his parents showed more affection toward each other than he had ever seen. He hated to break up the happy little scene, but he was sure that Pan wanted to show off Saruku to her parents.
"Well, we'd better get going," Trunks said as he tried to take his son from his father.
"Where are you going?!" Vegeta barked.
"We have to take Saruku to Gohan-sama's," Trunks explained.
"Vegeta, give them their child!" Bulma laughed.
"You bring him back here when you're finished visiting Kakarrot's eldest!" He ordered.
"We'll be living her for awhile until we find our own place," Pan laughed as she almost had to pry Vegeta's hands from Saruku.
"See you later!" Trunks waved as he held Pan in his arms, who was holding Saruku, and took off into the sky.
"Wow! Vegeta really liked Saruku!" Pan said as the baby laughed as they gained altitude.
"Yeah, I just wished he would've liked me that much."
"He does, Trunks-kun. He just has a hard time showing it toward you," she said gently carressing his face.
"I know, but as long as you like me," he kissed her cheek gently.
"Silly," she laughed as she tugged on his long hair.
The three set down at the Son home, but Pan wasn't nervous like Trunks was. She knew her father and mother would instantly love little Saruku. "Knock, knock," she called out.
"Pan?! Is that you?!" Her mother called out.
"Yes, Kassan, it's me, Trunks, and Saruku," she said as she led Trunks in.
"Saruku?" Her mother said as she came into the living room. "Oh Pan!! He's adorable!" Her mother shouted as she took the baby from her. 'Geez, he's my kid and I've held him about five minutes!!' Pan thought.
"Gohan, come look at your . . . Is this a boy or a girl?" Videl studied Saruku.
"He's a boy. The blond hair throws you off," Trunks laughed.
"Videl, what did you say?" Gohan asked as he came into the room. "Panny!!!" He shouted as he ran over to his daughter catching her in a Saiyan bearhug.
"Tousan, you're choking me," she managed to get out.
"Gomen," he bowed as he looked at his grandson. "Is he a . . . Super Saiyan!?"
"Yes, he is," Trunks said proudly.
"But how?" Videl asked as her eyes were filled with wonder.
"Because his mother went Super Saiyan giving birth to him," Pan crossed her arms.
"Really, Panny!?" Gohan asked excitedly. "That's great!!! I'm so glad you finally made it!" He exclaimed tossing the infant up in the air causing uproarious giggles to erupt from the child.
"You said Saruku earlier. What is that from?" Videl asked as she and Gohan sat down.
"Sar- from my family," Trunks began.
"And -ku after Grandpa Goku," Pan finished.
"Pan, Dad will be so happy that you named your son after him. His great-grandson will be the apple of his eye; I'm sure," Gohan laughed as Saruku pulled on his hair, much like he had his Grandpa Vegeta's. Videl happened to notice the wedding bands on Trunks's and Pan's fingers. She sighed as she realized that her little girl was little no more. Her daughter now was a mother. Because of senseless bickering and arguing, she had missed out on the two biggest occasions of Pan's life: her wedding and her son's birth.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Pan asked as she saw the sadness on her mother's face.
"Well, honey, I just hate I missed your wedding and Saruku's birth. I'm sorry that I acted like I did."
"It's okay. Trunks and I have forgiven everyone, and besides, I'd like to have another ceremony so that you guys can be there."
"Really, Pan?" Gohan asked hopefully.
"Yeah, it might be a double wedding!" She laughed.
"A double wedding?" Videl puzzled.
"Yeah, my parents are going to get married," Trunks beamed.
"Your parents?!?" Gohan and Videl said simultaneously.
"Yep, my parents," he grinned from ear-to-ear.

Meanwhile, back at Capsule Corp.
"Vegeta, where did you get this ring from?" Bulma asked as she looked at the huge rock on her finger.
"The same jewelery store . . ."
"That you blew up?!"
"Yeah," he smirked. Bulma laughed loudly as she thought about how those clerks must have been scared out of their minds when they saw him coming. "They were more than hospitable. They let me look at fifty rings until I found the right one."
"I bet. They knew if they didn't, they would've been blown to Kingdom Come!!"
"Well, I am a Prince, and I always get what I want," he said cooly as he pulled Bulma forcefully to him.
"Oh, really?" She looked into his dark eyes.
"Yes, really," he stated before crushing his lips down upon hers. Bra watched her parents from the top of the steps and thought how she'd never find love like that. Sometimes her parents fought like cats and dogs, but she knew that they loved one another. The only person Bra loved was Goten, and now they could never be together. She sighed as she walked back into her room. Walking over to the window, she happened to see a picture of the whole gang together: her parents, Trunks, Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Videl, Pan, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Satan, Krillin, Juu, Marron, herself, and Goten.
"Those were happy times," she said out loud. "Oh, Goten, why do you have to be the way you are? Why couldn't I have fallen for someone else? Someone who didn't belong to another?"

"Wow," Gohan said as Videl took Saruku from him. Videl laughed and cooed at the child, but was saddened when the little boy reminded her of Marron.
"I guess you know about Marron," Videl said quietly.
"Yes, we do," Pan frowned.
"It was awful, Pan," Gohan said. "It was like a nightmare that you couldn't wake up from."
"I wished we had been here, maybe we could've stopped it," Trunks said as he put his arm around Pan.
"No one could've stopped it. It's what Marron and Bra wanted," Videl stated.
"Yeah, but, I could've beaten some sense into Goten and made him choose."
"Marron chose first. She challenged Bra to a fight, and you know what happens when you challenge a Saiyan to a fight," Gohan said.
"Yeah, I do," Trunks admitted knowing that their father would've never let Bra back down.
"I don't think you should take little Saruku to see Juu and Krillin just yet," Videl suggested.
"I know, he looks a lot like Marron," Pan sighed.
"Maybe, it would cheer them up," Trunks pondered.
"No, I think maybe you should give them a little more time before going over there. After all, you are Bra's brother," Gohan frowned.
"I know, but . . ."
"But, we'll wait," Pan held Trunks's hand.
