The Saiyan Bond

Gine's visit

Okaru pov
I find the manner that Goten holds the girl to be quite a natural way. He seems so at ease and comfortable with the child in his arms and her small chubby body clinging to him. The baby would giggle every time he leaned down to press her nose which was quite often and I certainly enjoyed the sound of a child's laughter in the home for the time being.
I sit with my ankle on my knee on the couch, my mate sitting on the floor in front of me playing with the girl and I can't help but smile myself.
This is such a touching atmosphere...
"Oka...aren't you going to play with her too?" My pupils dilate as I fade away from my daze and nod, joining them on the carpet.
Such a cute child.
She is unable to walk but she crawls and sits and makes little gumming noises and gurgles.
"Ga-la-ya-ka-ghggggg" she muses as I rub her hair in all different directions, but much similar to Kakarots, it always returns to its originally odd shape.
Her eyes are the proper obsidian black but maintain some sort of cute brightness to them, always portraying a happy and playful attitude.
"Goten...what do you think of the baby?"
My words catch him off-guard and he looks at me with a curious surprise.
"Sh-she's great...why?"
"Well..." I rub my chin, forming the question in my mind, "wouldn't you want to have one too?" It spills out my lips with ease but my mates response comes back in a stumbled manner.
"W-well...I don't-I don't know how it's-works and and it's sort of well you know a b-big step in our case I-it's only been a few months that we are together like we aren't even m-married...."
I eye him suspiciously.
"Saiyans are considered married when they accept their mate. There is no such thing as what you earthlings call dating."
The half bloods eyes widen in surprise.
"S-so you're saying we are already married?"
I nod with a gentle smile and grasp his shoulders, pulling him closer so that I can press my lips to his forehead.
He shudders and looks up at me, still in a cute form of embarrassment.
"Thats... Okay I guess, but even so, I don't think I'm really ready for a baby...."
I sigh and release my hold on him and he looks hurt, which makes me feel a pang of disappointment in my self.
"It's...alright. I understand you wouldn't be ready for it so quickly but I would like to have a child with you at some point. Can you promise me that?"
He shows away and curls his fingers through Gines hair.
"Yeah. I can. I-thank you for understanding..."
