Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ! But this story is inspired by XOXOserenityXOXO

The sun rose from the night sky covering the green lands with it bright rays. The chirping of birds could be heard throughout the house of the Son's. The rays of the sun pierced through the window of their rooms.

Chi-Chi groaned reaching her hand for that special someone in bed but it fell flat on the blanket. Her head shot up, "Goku?" She asked groggily but he was nowhere to be found.

She sighed letting her head fall back onto the pillow. She couldn't find sleep and stood up while dressing in her pink Kimono along with her boots. She put her hair up in a neat bun.

She sighed while looking at herself in the mirror and shook her head. Let's get to work…She thought and went on to clean the house.

It was quiet and only her humming was heard as she cleaned up and went to the kitchen. She put the kettle with tee and sat down at the dinner table. She let her thoughts wander around as she waited for the tea to brew.

Since the tournament she thought Goku would lay off on the training and spend more time with her and for a while he did. They both spent a large amount of time together going on picnics just the two of them or with the whole family. Gohan and Goten were thrilled to have their father back.

However this eventually went back to normal and Gohan moved away to college eventually graduating and marrying the love of his life, Videl Satan. Together they had a beautiful and fiery daughter who was now their first grandchild. Chichi couldn't have been so happier; she had a grandchild. And unfortunately Goku had recently picked up his habit again. Something just never changed. He would trained daily for hours from the mourning to sometimes late in the afternoon.

He would take Goten sometimes but even he didn't train so much but was mostly out on dates with city girls or hanging out with his friends, so Goku would just go train with Vegeta. She was basically alone most of the time and she felt like she was no longer needed by any of her children or her husband. Gohan is smart and successful and has a family of his own to take care of.

She hardly saw him anymore. Chichi hardly saw Goten either even though he is still living with her. She almost wished that they were still kids; at least she would have something more to do than cleaning the house.

That's all she's good for these days. She missed feeling wanted.

Her thoughts wondered to a baby. Oh how she missed those times and it made her want to have another one but thought against it. She's too old and that sounds kind of ridiculous. Honestly a woman of her age baring a child!

She misses those old days when Goku was home more before Radditz came into the picture.

What was it that she did wrong? Was she too old or what? Did he still love her? And if he did, why doesn't he spend time with her?

She snapped out her thoughts when the kettle screamed. She pulled it off from the stove and pulled out a cup. She slowly poured the tea into the cup and sat down once again at the table while sipping her tea gently.

Maybe I am too old for him…She thought and felt herself tear up. But she shook her head swallowing the lump in her throat along with the tears. She took another sip of her tea while looking out at the mid-day sun. "Better put up the washing" She said and took one final sip of her tea. She put it in the sink and went to put the washing.

Clashing of fists were heard throughout the desert area. Two of earth's strongest warriors were battling it out, clashing with enormous power. They both landed somewhat out of breath. They both had smirks on their faces and adrenaline coursed through their veins.

"Wow Vegeta, you almost beat me. Almost" The one with the crazy hair said chuckling. The other figure smirked, "Let's see about that almost Kakkarot" He said and flew up cupping his hands.

Goku looked up at Vegeta , "You've got to be kidding me" He mumbled. Vegeta began to charge his Ki into the blast and Goku also began to make his own attack.

"KA…ME…""FINAL…""HA…ME…""FLASH!""HA!" They both yelled and countered each other. The energy clashed trying to overpower the other and electricity started to build up. Both Sayians clenched their teeth as they pushed all their powers into the blast and it exploded sending them flying back.

When the light cleared, they were both panting for air, "That…was a…good spar…Vegeta" Goku said between breaths and Vegeta grunted. "I got rid of that almost" He said smirking to himself.

Goku chuckled, "See you tomorrow?" He asked and his stomach growled.

Vegeta shook his head smirking, "Whatever Kakkarot" He said and blasted off. Goku's stomach growled once again and he laughed, "Alright let's go" He said and also blasted off.

Chi-Chi was currently preparing dinner. She was half way through preparing it when Goten came in on the phone.

"Tomorrow? Sure that sounds great! I'll see you then!" He exclaimed and hung up. "Hey mom" He said smiling.

"Goten" She said and Goten stopped in his tracks. Oh he knew that tone. His mother was upset and it usually didn't end well. He gulped and sat down by the table. "So mom…can I sleep at Trunks tonight?" He asked and she nodded. "Go ahead" She said nonchalantly and he smiled brightly as she said this.

"Bye mom!" He said cheerfully, "Oh bye dad!" He said again and the door closed. "Bye!" Goku said. He came into the kitchen to see Chi-Chi with her arms crossed over her body looking angrily at him, he gulped.

"Goku, I've put up with this long enough" She said loudly. "You train each and every day and I'm sick of it! If there was an excuse for training I would understand but there hasn't been a threat for ten years! And all you do is train! You don't even spend more time with me anymore!" She screeched and Goku stood there clueless.

"Oh…I'm sorry Chi-Chi" He said with a small smile trying to cheer her up. She shook her head, 'He'll never change' She thought as tears welled up in the corner of her eyes.

Goku ran after her but when he wanted to open the door it was locked, "Come on Chi-Chi, open the door please" He said but only silence and sobbing could be heard. He pleaded more but nothing. "Chi-Chi Honey I'm sorry. Look I know I don't always do or say the things you want and I train a lot but that doesn't mean that I don't love you! I train so I can protect the one's I love and your definitely one of them" Goku said.

She opened the door her eyes full of tears and looked at Goku.
