Goku was a saiyan raised on the planet earth. Ever since he was a kid, he always had a positive attitude towards everything. That even carried into his adulthood. You never really seen Goku mad or sad. You would think the angriest he's probably ever been was when he became a super saiyan to defeat the great tyrant and murderer of his entire race Frieza. However things were different now. Goku was in a state that you would think it's impossible for him to be in. The saiyan's heart ache everyday now. He rarely shows a real smile anymore. It was really out of his character for him to be this way. But it was understandable that depression took over him. He lost his son due to a miscarriage that he was never able to get over. Chi-Chi had taught him how to love his son during her pregnancy. They were both really excited for him to be born in the world. The two prepared a room for him together and would think of the things they could do as a family.
But that time never came. Chi-Chi had a body that was unable to have children. It was unexpected news for the both of them. It hit them both to the core. But Goku knew his pain was nothing compared to what his wife was feeling. After months and months of taking care of herself and preparing everything for his arrival. She just couldn't get over it. Goku tried to tell her that they had to move on with life. Being sad all the time wasn't going to do either of them any good. Chi-Chi agreed with him.
A couple years had passed by. Goku was noticing that Chi-Chi was more tired than usual. Some days she would be perfectly fine. While others she would be sick as a dog. When Goku returned from Namek he dedicated most of his time to helping Chi-Chi. He loved his wife dearly, if it wasn't for her he would be lost. Chi-Chi took notice into Goku trying to be at home with her more than he had these past couple years. Since the Ox-King had died due to a fire in his castle. There really wasn't anybody who could always be with her.
Chi-Chi felt bad that she burdened Goku with this. The man she married who was always happy was dealing with so much that she didn't know how he didn't break. One day she was sicker than usual so she told Goku to call a doctor for her. He did as he was told and waited for the doctor to arrive. About an hour later there was an knock on their door. Sure enough it was the doctor. She walked in and Goku lead her to Chi-Chi.
The doctor examined her throughly. Goku was nervous. He had hoped whatever was going on wasn't too serious. The doctor had finished examining Chi-Chi. She turned around and looked at him. "Sir I would advise you to take your wife to the hospital. She's in critical condition and I can't be 100% of the cause until she gets there." Goku didn't want to think of anything negative so he did as he was told. The doctor had left and made her way back to the hospital. The saiyan stood over his wife. He couldn't help but to feel helpless that it wasn't anything he could do to help.
He brushed over a few strands of her hair and stroked his thumb across her face lightly. Chi-Chi looked up at him and smiled. "Come on Goku..let's hurry dear." She spoke weakly.
Goku picked her up in his arms and walked outside of their home. He took off into the skies at a decent pace. He didn't want the wind to make Chi-Chi sicker. It didn't take long for him to reach the hospital. Once he got there, he went inside and told the lady at the desk what the doctor told him. The lady made a call and seconds later. Two nurses came and put Chi-Chi on a stretcher. They took her to the back. Goku decided it was best to wait until someone came for him. So he sat down in the lobby and waited. All he could think about was how could he make his wife better. The dragon balls were his first idea but he knew he couldn't leave Chi-Chi here alone for that long. He couldn't get into the contact with any of his friends since he did not remember their phone numbers. Senzu beans only restore help restore stamina and wounds. Everything he could think of had some type of downfall to it. Time had passed and eventually the doctor came out. "Son Goku-san please come with me." He immediately got out of his chair and followed her.
The walk to the room Chi-Chi was in wasn't long but to him it felt like an eternity. Once he reached her room, he took a deep breath before entering. He had seen that Chi-Chi was hooked up to a few machines. He didn't understand why so he asked. "Why is she hooked to those machines?"
The doctor took off her glasses and sighed. "I'm sorry sir. I really am but your wife has an illness that we can't really do anything about. It's one we've never seen before. Even if we perform surgery she probably wouldn't make it halfway through. From various test, we've concluded that she's had this particular illness for a couple years now. It's amazing she's made it this far without coming to the hospital. Your wife is very strong sir. Maybe if she would have came earlier we could have done something for her. But I'm afraid it's too late now. She has maybe a couple minutes left." The doctor explained.
Those last few words hit him deep. He couldn't believe that this was Chi-Chi's final moment. It wasn't fair that she had to deal with this. Why didn't he do something sooner? What kind of husband was he?
"I'll leave you two alone. Again I'm truly sorry Son Goku-san." She left and closed the door behind her. Goku walked towards the bed and sat down. He grabbed her hand with both of his. Just holding onto the warmth she had left. Chi-Chi opened her eyes and smiled. "Hi darling" She said.
Goku couldn't believe that she was smiling through this. The doctor was absolutely right, Chi-Chi had to be the strongest person he's ever met. "H-Hey" he replied.
"Seems like it's the end of the road for me. Well at least I can see Gohan now right? I'm sure he'll be happy to see his mother for the first time." She said. Goku voice was choked up when he responded. "Yeah I'm sure he will Chi-Chi." He squeezed her hand a bit tighter.
Chi-Chi weakly brought her other hand to his cheek and slowly rubbed it. "Oh Goku I'm sorry that you have to go through this alone. I really don't want to leave you by yourself. The thought of it is breaking my heart." She told him as tears fell down her cheeks.
The saiyan was fighting hard to keep his tears from falling. However one did ending up sliding down his cheek. "Chi-Chi you're the strongest person I've ever met. I'm sorry that I've let you suffer many times cause of my selfishness."
"Can I have one last kiss before I.." Goku mashed their lips together. Savoring the taste of his wife for this will be the last time he will ever feel the warmth of her lips. Chi-Chi returned it as best as she could. It didn't last no longer than a few seconds. Goku couldn't help but to stare at his beautiful wife. It was hard to believe that this would be their last time spent together.
Chi-Chi's body started to get cold. So she used the remains of her strength to tell Goku something. "I love you Goku, I love you so much. Please try to go on in life. You still have others to look out for you. This wasn't your fault. It's nobody's fault that this happened so unexpectedly. I will always love that goofy smile of yours and that wild spiky hair of yours. I..will..always...love you...my love..."
The warmth in her hand disappeared completely. Her eyes were closed but a smile was plastered on her face. She died with a smile. "I love you too Chi-Chi. Always." He stayed in the room full of silence. Realizing that he has now lost his family completely. He knew the doctor would be back any moment so he decided to hold his tears.
"This is it huh? What's the point of having power if you can't use it to save the ones you love?" He said to himself. A few minutes later the doctor came back. He didn't want them to do anything with her body so he picked up her limp body in his arms.
"Goku-san you can't do.." the doctor didn't even finish her sentence. Goku had broke the window and took off into the sky with his wife in his arms. He felt that burying Chi-Chi wasn't right. So he decided to let her body flow in the ocean. It didn't take long for him to get there. He walked up to the water. Goku looked down at his wife one last time and gave her a kiss on her forehead before setting her down in the water. Letting the current take her to wherever.
He didn't want to go back home. It reminded him too much of Chi-Chi. So he went to the only person who he knew that wouldn't mind his company. He sensed out for her energy and disappeared.
