"Hey," Bulma said as she walked up to Goku in the waiting room with Vegeta, Trunks, and Bra tagging along behind her. "How is she?" Goku looked down.

"Not to good. Gohan, Pan, Chi-Chi, and Hercule are back there right now." Bulma nodded and sat down next to Goku, and gave him a hug. Bra sat next to Bulma, Trunks next to her, and Vegeta was leaning against the hospital wall with his arms crossed. He watched as a full blooded Saiyan was reduced to tears in Bulma's arms. Bulma rubbed his back and made soothing sounds, trying to comfort her long time friend.

Trunks looked down, he hated hospitals, they smelled of death and dispair. Krillin, Marron, and 18 were talking to Piccolo and Yamcha about what was going on. No one else was in the room besides them, the Briefs, and the Sons. Trunks heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see Pan. Her cheeks were streaked with tears and see struggled to speak. "Grandpa....Mom wants to see you." Bulma let go of Goku and he wiped away his tears. Goku stood up and walked out of the waiting room to go see his daughter-in-law.

Trunks stood up and walked over to Pan, bringing her into a hug. They didn't say anything for they already knew how eachother felt. They held eachother for the longest time, Trunks' head resting ontop of Pan's and her shoulders shaking as she cried into his chest.

The two broke away when everyone that was in Videl's room, came back out to the waiting room, a doctor following behind them. Everyone took a seat, except for Vegeta who still stood against a wall, and Trunks and Pan who stood in the middle of the room. Trunks had his arm around Pan's shoulder, keeping her beside him. The doctor cleared his throat and began talking.

"By now you all know that Videl has a very rare heart disease in which there is no cure." Gohan burst out crying and Goku pulled his son against him, comforting him. "I...I know this is hard, but we need your cooperation. We need anyone who has come in contact with the disease through saliva, blood, or sexual intercourse to please come with me." Gohan stood up and walked over to the doctor, still crying. "Also, will her father and daughter please come also."

Hercule stood up and walked over by Gohan and put his arm around his son-in-law's shoulders. Trunks looked down at Pan "You'll be okay." he whispered. Trunks gave her another hug and Pan joined her father and grandpa and left the room with the doctor.

Trunks walked over to his dad. "Tousan, I think you should say something to Goku." Vegeta frowned at his son.

"Don't tell me what to do." He growled.

"Tousan, look at him." The two men looked over at Goku who was holding his crying wife. "You need to say something, he needs to know you care." Vegeta looked at his son with a raised eyebrow, muttered something about the prince of Saiyans having to comfort a low class soldier, and walked over to where Goku sat. Goku wasn't holding Chi-Chi anymore, she had gone off to the bathroom. Goku looked up at the older man, and for a split second, he could have sworn that he saw remorse in the other man's eyes, but it quickly went away and Vegeta's cold stare returned.

"Kakarot...I...I'm...s...sorry." Vegeta mumbled. Goku jumped up and hugged Vegeta, totally taking Vegeta by surprise. Vegeta heard Goku starting to cry and he grimaced. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Bulma sitting there, staring at him, telling him with her eyes to hug Kakarot back. Vegeta swallowed his pride and patted Goku's back, still grimacing. After a few moments Goku pulled away and sat back down. Vegeta went back to the wall and leaned against it, staring daggers at his son who was comforting his best friend Goten.

Bulma came up to Vegeta and thanked him, whispering about a 'treat' she had for him when they got home. Vegeta looked back over at his son and silently thanked him. The people who had gone with the doctor returned and sat down. The doctor had taken blood samples and was sending them down to the lab to be tested for the disease. A nurse came in and whispered something to Gohan, then left. Gohan turned to all the people in the waiting room. "The...the doctor doesn't think that....that she's going to make it...." A new wave of tears come over the man. "They....they think she's going to....to pass away within the hour." Pan, Hercule, Goku, and Chi-Chi all broke down crying. "They say that...that we can all go in now.....to.....to say.....g....g....goodbye....." Everyone stood up, everyone holding someone, and walked into Videl's bedroom.

Videl was laying in a bed with white sheets, her black hair framing her face. She was hooked up to machines, which were beeping constantly, tubes were the only things that kept her her alive. Gohan kneeled next to his wife, taking her hand is his, clutching it like it was a life line. He kissed her hand, and ran it up and down his cheek. Videl opened her eyes and looked up at her dad.

"Daddy." She murmered. Tears pored down Hercules face as he bent over to hug his only daughter who reminded him so much of his dead wife. Gohan took Pan by his side and she looked at her mom. Hercule pulled away and took Videl's other hand, kneeling down beside her bed.

So many I love you's were said between everyone to Videl. Goku watched as the heart monitor slowly went down, untill it flat lined. Gohan's cries of sorrow echoed through the hospital room. Goku came over to his son and hugged him close, Gohan's crys were muffled, but it still pained everyone to hear the strong warrior cry. Hercule held his granddaughter and the two of them cried in eachothers arms. Bulma held Chi-Chi, and Trunks held Goten.

Marron, Krillin, 18, Bra, Yamcha, and Piccolo had their eyes downcast, each one holding a tear. Vegeta looked over at his wife and hoped he never had to go through what Gohan just did.
