Only on the Inside
By Theresa AKA BulmaAngel
She laid in the semi dark of her bedroom the only light in the room was
what was filtered in from the hallway. It was silly of her she knew to
leave the hallway light on for her son. He was eleven years old now and
within him held enough strength to destroy the very planet they lived on
but the mother in her was strong and she still sometimes found it hard not
to see him as the baby he'd once been that had needed her so.
She felt a movement and turned to see her husband shifting in his sleep
He was lying on his side now, his unruly black hair somewhat flattened against
the pillow. His breathing as always was steady and rythmic. He never had trouble
sleeping even on a night like tonight. She sighed she sometimes found herself
becoming near irate with him over that.
How could he be so easy going about everything? She had been dreading tomorrows
arrival for sometime now. Her heart felt like lead in her chest. Not only could
she be losing her husband again but Gohan, her only child. He only turned eleven
but a few days ago and tomorrow he would travel with his father to participate in
the Cell games. She didn't want them to go. Everything within her screamed that it
could only end in heartache.
She knew her husband well and knew he would not hesitate to sacrifice himself to
save even just one person, he'd done it before. She didn't want to have to watch
Gohan grow into a man alone. She didn't want to return to lying in bed night after
night wondering why it had to be her husband who was so selfless. Didn't he understand
that she needed him too? What if this time she lost Gohan as well? She could feel
hot tears stinging her eyes and she tried to blink them back as she heard her
husbands voice speak up beside her.
"Chi-Chi...."
She watched as he sat up unable to find her voice.
"Chi-Chi whats wrong?"
Whats wrong?! Whats Wrong?! her mind screamed Everything was wrong couldn't he see that?
She was unable to remain angry when she saw the concern in his eyes.
Even as he raised one of his hands to the side of her face brushing away the tears with
his thumb. She leaned her face into his hand closing her eyes.
" No matter what happens I will always return to you. You know that right?"
She smiled slightly through her tears. He laid back down and drew her into his arms. She
laid her head on his chest. She could hear his heart assuring her that at least for now he
was here and very alive. She closed her eyes letting the steady beat of his heart lead her
sleep.
Tomorrow she would do like any other day. She would cook breakfast for her husband and son.
She would fuss over them the way that she always did issuing warnings she knew they wouldn't
heed. The whole time she would be crying again.
But only on the inside.
