You're too young

Here I go again! This fic is about the Son family, and about how a family could stick together through anything. This story is 1 year after the Buu Saga. Plz tell me what you think about it, in other words review. Dare to flame it will come back to haunt. I don't own DBZ or its characters; they belong to the brilliant Akira Toriyama. Before I go, I love Goten I didn't meant it! I'm really sorry! _



He slowly moved down the hall to the kitchen where his mother was cooking his breakfast.

"Mommy, I don't feel so good," said the 8-year-old boy as he approached the kitchen.

"Or you just don't want to go to school Goten?" said his mother as she kept cooking in front of the stove. ChiChi knew her son. As innocent as he looks he was as tricky.

"ChiChi, I think you should listen to him. He looks a little pale," said Gokou coming from the some hall Goten had come earlier.

"Don't you encourage him Gokou. Now get dress Goten, or your going to be late," ChiChi said and turned around to face her little boy.

"Ok, mommy," Goten followed his mother's orders, but as he walked past his father he collapsed to the floor with a thud. Gokou quickly knelt down to check what was wrong with Goten.

"Goten!" screamed ChiChi. She ran to aid her son, beside her husband.

"Don't worry ChiChi I'll take him to the hospital," Gokou picked up his little boy and put two fingers on his forehead. Both her husband and son disappeared in front of her. Chichi couldn't contain herself; she fell to the floor crying. 'I hope my little boy is ok.'



Hours passed, both her little boy and husband had not come back to her. ChiChi had not stopped crying for hours, she felt kind of guilty. Then in a blur Gokou appeared.

"Where's my little boy?" asked ChiChi as she stopped her crying and saw her husband without their little boy.

"ChiChi, sit down. I have something to tell you," said Gokou with a serious look on his face. He walked ChiChi to the kitchen and sat her on the chair.

"Gokou, you're scaring me."

Her husband took the seat in front of her, and took her soft hands into his muscular hands.

"Look ChiChi, there's something wrong with our little boy. Goten has caught this new disease that damages the blood. The doctor said he might have got it because he must plays outside a lot," said Gokou while his grip on his wife hands tightens a bit. He saw how the news hit her like a ton of bricks. When the doctor told him the news, he felt like if Vegeta powered at his most and hit him with a Big Bang Attack head on. He didn't want to show ChiChi the way he felt, for now he had to be strong for her.

"No, that's not true. Gokou tell me is not true," ChiChi's voice broke.

"Please listen. The doctor also said that," Gokou couldn't finish his voice too broke. He couldn't finish the sentence, it just couldn't get out. As if the words got stuck in his throat. Hot tears threatened to come out of his eyes. He took a while to answer his wife.

"What did the doctor said Gokou?"

"That he might not live more than four months," Gokou whispered the last part, but ChiChi was able to hear. Gokou couldn't hold the tears in any longer, and began to cry like he was just a little kid.

"Gokou, please say you're lying to me!" ChiChi screamed at her husband with tears rolling down her eyes. She couldn't believe it, this hurt more than when she lost her Gokou almost 8 years ago. Why did they have to take her little boy now?! Gokou got up and embraced his wife. Both hold unto each other crying like there was no tomorrow. The front door suddenly opened. Gohan stepped in.

'This is weird. Mom is not making any food like usual, dad is not training, and Goten is not at home but nowhere near it. What on earth is going on?' "Mom, dad? What's going on?" asked a very confused Gohan as he stepped in the kitchen. Both ChiChi and Gokou quietly got up and wiped away their tears, but still holding unto each other. They didn't know which one would tell Gohan the new news or how to tell him.

"Dad, tell me what's going?" Gohan asked as he set down his book bag on the kitchen.

Gokou took a deep breath. "Gohan, your little brother is," Gokou stopped and more tears threatened to come out. ChiChi began to cry once more while burying her face into Gokou's chest.

"What's wrong with Goten dad?" Gohan asked more concerned this time.

Gokou took another deep breath. "He's really sick and he's not going to live more than four months."

"No, I don't believe you! I can't believe you!" Gohan screamed at his father, and he looked at his mother. She too was a disaster just like his father. ChiChi took her face away from her Gokou's chest.

"Gohan, your little brother is at the hospital right now," ChiChi said as she hugged her Gokou even tighter. Gohan tapped in his ki detecting power to find Goten's ki. His mother was right. Gohan didn't want to believe, but this was all real. He ran to his room in hopes he was wrong about Goten being at the hospital. He opened the door and found nothingness. He began to cry. 'Why my little brother? He's too young to die and so innocent!' his mind screamed. Gohan felt his knees get weak and fell to the floor. He then began to sob out loud; so loud he couldn't hear anything else but him self.

"Son you have to be strong," said his father as he walked slowly towards him. He too felt a lot of pain. He couldn't understand it, why do they want to take away his son. A son he had barely has got to know. Even of how naïve he was, he was able to understand what was going on.

"I can't be strong anymore! When you didn't come back to Okaasan and me when you left for Nameksei, when you died 8 years ago, and now this I just can't take it anymore! Why do bad things always happens to me!?" Gohan screamed not wanting to look at his father.

Gokou was taken by surprise of what Gohan was saying. It was all true.

"Gohan, I'm sorry," said Gokou as he knelt down next to his son. He hugged as tight as he could; like when he was just a little boy all those years ago. Gohan just took his embrace, he didn't want to push his father away now. Both of Earth's heroes cried and cried for hours on end. ChiChi didn't go to her son or husband; she wanted to be alone. If she saw how her family suffered she would cry even more.
