On the wings of life: one day at a time.
1. Milk
«You know, you are just like your father.»
Little Gohan was sitting in his mother's arms, looking at her with a confused but curious expression. She sighed, leaving the umpteenth bottle on the table. Chichi rose from the chair and went to the kitchen to fill again the bottle of milk. Another sigh escaped her lips when she opened the fridge and saw no milk. Still holding the baby, she went looking for her husband. However, he was nowhere to be found in the house.
Where the hell is he? He's never here when I need him! Uh, what a bungler…
Goku was outside, lying on the grass with a peaceful smile on his lips. The sight made Chichi quite angry, but she decided not to say anything about it and made her request, instead.
«Goku, for once, could you do a favour to your wife and go get some milk? There's none left.»
Goku sat up and nodded, agreeing to his wife's words. However, when he was about to ask her where he should buy it, she was already going back into the house.
«Good, but be quick. Our son can't wait forever for you to bring him food.»
Jeez, and what do I do now? Well… It doesn't matter, I'll ask someone.
After entering the house, Chichi brought Gohan in his room and left him in his bed in order to do the house work. Several hours passed since Goku had left and she was starting to worry. The waiting also was difficult because of Gohan's crying, showing the baby's need to be fed. It was almost evening when the front door was opened, revealing an embarrassed, mortified and empty-handed Goku.
«Well… I tried to look for some milk, but I had no money and…»
Chichi sighed and gave him some coins. «You're hopeless. Now go, I want you to be back in twenty minutes. Otherwise, no dinner. Understood?»
«Yes ma'am!»
Author's note:
As I said in the introduction, this is a collection of stories entitled "On the wings of life", which focuses on different times of Gohan's life. The first one will feature five chapters (chapters aren't linked to each other) about Gohan's childhood and his relationship with his parents. I was inspired by this challenge: . . The story isn't published on my italian fanfiction account, so this is a totally new story (I'll publish it in Italian around the end of february). In a few days I'll add the following chapter.
See you!
Alison.
