Chapter 1
It had been six years since Goku had died again, and he was about to go out of his mind wanting to go home. With communication through King Kai, he'd mentally talked to Bulma once a year to see how everyone was doing. He would've tried to contact Chi-Chi, but she rarely talked to anyone and her mind was too hard to get into. Today was the anniversary of his sixth year of being dead and he was prepared to write down everything Bulma updated him on. Goku sat down next to King Kai with his pad of paper, pen, and picture of the gang: Bulma, Yamcha, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Tien, Choatzu, Master Roshi, Turtle, Oolong, Puar, Ox King, Krillin, Piccolo off to the side, Yadjerobie, Lunch, and himself. Big group. He loved every one of them.
"I'm ready," He placed his hand on the blue jokester's back. King Kai turned his head to look at him.
"Are you sure?" Goku kept his eyes on his pad of paper and nodded.
"Last time did get pretty emotional..." Kai added. Goku recalled the last time he and Bulma chatted. He flinched inside, remembering the embaressment of crying in front of King Kai. He had missed everyone so much, and all his built up frustrations came out at once. He wondered about Chi-Chi, Gohan, Goten, how future Trunks and Bulma were doing, and constantly worried if any villains would pop up while he was gone.
"It's okay, King Kai. Just contact Bulma..." Kai concentrated really hard, trying to locate the blue-haired genius.
"Bulma... This is King Kai... Are you there?"
~*EARTH*~
Bulma heard a small voice whispering in the back of her mind. She dropped the vase she was dusting, but with Trunks' quick reflexes, he managed to leap off the couch and catch it before it hit the floor. Trunks propped it back up on its appropriate shelf, and stared at his mother. Bulma remained completely still, trying to hear what was being said to her. Trunks kept staring at her, greatly confused.
"Mom, whats wrong?" Bulma ran to the window and looked up at the sky. She was definately not paying attention. Trunks walked over to her and tugged lightly on her shirt.
"Mom! What's happening??" Trunks was sincerely worried his mother was going out of her mind.
"Someone's trying to talk to me..." Trunks bugged his eyes out and looked around.
"But Mom, no one is here! I'm the only one talking to you!" Suddenly Bulma smiled widely and began laughing.
"Goku! It's you! How have you been?" Trunks scratched his lavender head and put his hands on his hips.
"So how's good old Vegeta been? Does he still train everyday?"
"Ha ha! Yeah, he's out there every single day like the end of the world is coming."
"Sounds like him."
"Trunks, go watch TV or something. I'm talking to Goku,"
"He he. How's Trunks doing these days? How old is he now?"
"7. He and Goten are always tearing things up. Speaking of Goten, your son's 6th birthday is coming up in a month,"
"Man, I wish I could be there..."
"Well Goku, I have three pieces of good news, and one of ....bad news... Which do you want to hear first?" Goku thought a second.
"I need some good news right about now. Plus, bad news for this group always has to do with villains trying to take over the world. Vegeta can take care of them whoever they are,"
"Uh, well not exactly. But I'll get to that in a minute. We've collected six of seven dragon balls and Gohan and Videl are out looking for the seventh right now to wish you back!"
"Videl? Who's Videl?"
"Erm.. Nobody. Jes' Gohan's... uh... friend who happens to be a girl."
"My Gohan has a girlfriend? WoW! Is she nice? Is she pretty? Does she get along with Chi Chi?"
"Goku! I never said they were going out! But they are..."
"HA!"
"She's... er.. Hercule's daughter..."
"HA HA HA! C'mon Bulma, tell me the truth."
"I am..."
"What?!?!?! Gohan is going out with Hercule's daughter??"
"Pretty much. She's nothing like her father though, except her stubbornness. She's really pretty."
"Gohan's really growing up! Is that the other good news?"
"Nope! I don't think I should be the one to tell you this, but... uh... Do you remember that one day you visited Earth for 24 hours?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Goku had a goofy grin on his face. King Kai looked at him suspiciously, but still trying to concentrate.
"Well, uh... Chi-Chi's going to have another kid."
"OH MAN!!! WOW!! Another one?? Does she know if it's a boy or a girl? How far along is she?"
"Well, considering you were here 8 MONTHS AGO, she's eight months along! The doctors are pretty sure it's going to be a girl."
"WOW THIS IS AWESOME!! HEY KING KAI! I'M A FATHER!!"
"No kidding Goku. You've been a father since Gohan was born." King Kai spat sarcastically.
"Oh... yeah.. But Chi-Chi's having another one!"
"Good for her."
"Oh lighten up King Kai. So Bulma, what's the other good news?"
"Er... I'm pregnant too."
"OH MAN!! Bulma that's GREAT! How far?"
"Only about two weeks. Vegeta doesnt even know yet."
"Wow! How awesome! I've been missing a lot!"
" When are you going to tell him. I was planning on today. Probably after I finish talking to you."
"So, all this good news is great, but how about that bad news?"
"I really don't want to tell you... You're going to freak out."
"Me freak out? Bulma, I didn't freak out when Freiza came to Earth, or when Cell tried to take over the world. I don't think anything can freak me out."
"Please don't get upset Goku... but... nobody's seen Chi-Chi in a month."
