A/N: This story is sort of a replacement story to "Because You're Mine." I decided that I didn't like the idea of Gohan having a twin because Gohan gets to go on his own adventures and he needs to figure out life by himself. I didn't decide that until I started watching the "Great Saiyaman Saga" and he met Videl. I just don't think he needs a twin. This character might be a "Mary Sue". I'm going to allow you to be the judge of that, but this is how I see this character. I see Gochi as more of a Daddy's Girl which is what she should be because in the Anime, Goku and Chi-Chi only had sons, which Chi-Chi was more protective over and Goku is a good father, but I think he needs someone to bond with, not just Gohan and Goten, because they bonded with Goku over battles and fighting, which is what Goku is about, but this story should show the softer side of him, and the warrior side of a girl. He's a little easy on Gochi, but she pushes herself to her limits. I think she's a great character. Please no hate comments if you can help it.

A young mother stood in her doorway as she waved goodbye to her two oldest, one, her husband, the other, her four-year old son, Gohan. She absolutely forbade her husband to take their youngest, as she was only 3 years old and not ready for travel. Chi-Chi sighed and walked back into the house and began washing the dishes, carefully scrubbing the inside and outside of each and every bowl. Her husband's appetite had always eluded her. Where in the world was he stuffing all that rice? She giggled to herself and soon became lost in her own thoughts.
She almost jumped out of her skin when a car horn was heard outside the small home, causing the young child upstairs to begin crying, unfamiliar with the loud noise. Chi-Chi knew that it was only her father and continued upstairs to tend to her beautiful daughter. As with Gohan, this one was born with a tail, a tribute of Goku, Chi-Chi's husband. Just when Chi-Chi had gotten Gochi back to sleep, her father came in and slammed the door, young Gochi began crying once more.
"Chi-Chi! Gochi! I brought presents!" Gyu Mao, also known as the Ox King, yelled into the house. Gochi heard her grandfather's voice and opened her eyes, letting a couple tears slip. Chi-Chi sighed at her daughter and brought her downstairs, allowing her to see her grandfather.
"Grandpa?"
"Hi, sweetie!" The Ox King exclaimed.
"Honestly, Dad, you don't have to bring something every time you come over." Chi-Chi said, handing over Gochi to the Ox King.
"But Chi-Chi, she deserves to be spoiled!" Gyu Mao proceeded to tickle his granddaughter.
"She still has a lot of Gohan's old toys to play with, as well." Chi-Chi removed herself from the room and went to make some tea.
Hours passed as the daughter and father talked over the tea and Gochi. Suddenly, low talking was heard from outside the front door. Chi-Chi walked over to investigate and pulled open the door. Krillin was on the other side, mumbling to himself as the Ox King peeked around the corner, holding his granddaughter's hand.
"Oh, hi, Krillin! I thought I heard someone talking out here!" Chi-Chi said, smiling brightly.
"Hi.. Uh.. Chi-Chi." Krillin said, nervously. He rubbed the back of his head, trying to think of something to say.
"Krill..in?" Gochi said to her grandfather. Gyu Mao nodded.
"Well, what is it, Krillin? Is it about Goku?" Krillin nodded at Goku's name. "Well, what is it? Is he going to be late? He's going to be late, isn't he?" Krillin nodded, quickly, glad that she had thought of her own excuse.
"Well, why don't you come in for some tea? There's plenty to go around." Gyu Mao offered, which Krillin reluctantly accepted.
Chi-Chi sat both Krillin and her father down at the kitchen table as she took the tea kettle off of the stove and poured three cups. Krillin noticed that the Ox King was holding another child, a girl.
"Does Goku have another child?" Gochi reached out to Krillin. Krillin nervously took her from the Ox King.
Chi-Chi nodded. "Her name is Gochi. She's our precious little girl." Krillin laughed nervously, looking at Gochi and suddenly seeing the strange resemblance between Goku and Gochi.
Gochi slid down from Krillin's lap and ran to get her favorite toy to show to Krillin. Chi-Chi kept a watchful eye on her daughter. The three adults talked for maybe half an hour. Krillin relaxed, but was never fully comfortable. Chi-Chi was a scary and incredibly strong woman. When both Krillin and Gyu Mao had left, Chi-Chi made herself and her daughter dinner. Finally, when Gochi had been put to bed, Chi-Chi went to bed herself, wondering where in the world Goku could possibly be.
Chi-Chi put the thought out of her mind and closed her eyes, hoping to get some sleep before Gochi woke up.
When she awoke the next morning, she discovered that Goku still had not shown up, neither had Gohan. She shook off the abandonment as she prepared Gochi's breakfast before she woke up.
By 8 AM, Gochi had been fed and Chi-Chi's father had shown up to spend another day with his daughter and her family. Chi-Chi worried, like every normal mother, but she was sure that Goku would keep Gohan safe, no matter where he was.
"I wish they would at least call! This is ridiculous." Chi-Chi said, slamming the wooden spoon she had in her hand down on the counter. "I think we should go over there." She said, after moments of thought. Chi-Chi looked at Gochi. She smiled, happily eating her banana in her high chair. "I don't want her to grow up without a father. Who knows what Goku and his gang have gotten into."
"Chi-Chi, I'm sure if something would've happened, they would've called." The Ox King said. Then something connected in Chi-Chi's mind. Krillin had come over yesterday. Something was wrong.
"They didn't call. They sent Krillin!" Chi-Chi grabbed her daughter and piled everything needed into her father's car, but her father.
"Wait! Chi-Chi!" The Ox King hurriedly got into the front seat and Chi-Chi zoomed out of the Mt. Paoz area. Gochi was in the backseat, happily giggling at the scenery that was going by her. She had never been in a car before.
Chi-Chi drove until they were at the Kame House. Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi stepped out and knew they were immediately in trouble. Chi-Chi got out of the car and slammed the door and walked up to the three, with angry eyes.
"All right! Where are they? Where is my precious little boy!" Chi-Chi screamed at the three, looking at each of them separately to see who would be guilty.
"Hey Chi-Chi! Nice to see you!" Master Roshi said, light-heartedly.
"Chi-Chi, I think if you'll come sit down, we'll explain everything." said Bulma, annoyed at Krillin for not telling Chi-Chi the truth. The Ox King grabbed his granddaughter out of her seat and carried her into the house, behind Chi-Chi, who was mumbling to herself about Goku's gangs and martial arts.
"Chi-Chi, I don't really know how to say this, but… um… Goku's… well… dead." Krillin said, sadly.
"DEAD? How did he die? What about Gohan?"
"He fought nobly alongside Piccolo against Raditz, the Saiyan who came here to destroy the Earth. When Piccolo fired his last attack, Goku went down with Raditz, he didn't get away in time." Master Roshi mentioned, looking grim.
"Gohan…well, Piccolo took Gohan to train because there's two more Saiyans on the way here and Gohan actually fought Raditz for hurting Goku and Piccolo saw the potential in the kid." Chi-Chi was on the verge of tears. Her husband was gone. Her little boy had been basically kidnapped by Piccolo, who was trying to destroy the Earth himself. What else could happen?
