Disclaimer: I don't ownany of this...just the plot and my wicked mind. That's all.
Summary: Goku and ChiChi have been apart for 2 years, and Goku can't get over it. He meets Raina, and things start to look up. But what is this dark cloud hovering over the world...again. Rated M for later chapters.
"Please, ChiChi...don't do this...don't-"
"No, Goku! I'm sick and tired of living like this. Thinking you'll never come back. And my babies? My babies! Putting them in danger, too! It's just to much, Goku. I can't do this anymore"
"But ChiChi...think about Gohan...and Goten. Their gonna need their mother"
"...Their coming without me Goku to my dad's place. I'm not leaving my children here"
"ChiChi, please...don't take my kids away from me. Please...don't go...I can't live with you and them...I love y-"
"I'm sorry, Goku...I'm leaving tomorrow. They can come visit if they want, but...their staying with me."
Laying in their room, wide awake, Gohan and Goten listened. They couldn't believe their ears. Their parent...were breaking apart? How could that happen? It just wasn't...possible. Not ChiChi and Goku...the happy Son family. Never them. They would never go through something like this. It was was silent for a long time, and they wondered anxiously what would happen their father spoke again, they could hear the heartbreak in his voice.
"What are we going to tell the kids...?"
ChiChi sighed. "The truth, I suppose. It's going to be hard on them, but...I just can't do this anymore...I'll talk to them tomorrow"
"We'll talk to them"
"...Yeah..."
They could hear their mother's soft footsteps as she made her way to her bedroom. They didn't hear their father follow; instead he remained behind to sleep on the couch. The heavy thud against the worn furniture, and the following crash, confirmed it.
"I knew it" Gohan said, his voice lifeless and monotone. " I didn't want to believe it, but...the signs were there...i just ignored them..."
Goten didn't say anything. He couldn't, his tears were choking him to badly. He didn't care if he was loud, for he just couldn't help it (bless him); his dad could no doubt hear him anyway no matter how hard he tried to keep quiet...but dad didn't come. He didn't come to make it better, or say nice thing to make the pain go away. To say it was all a big joke, and that he and mom would never break up...that they would always be together...as a family. He wasn't even fighting. Didn't he want mom...them? he could save the world...but not his family? When the young demi-saiyan finally found his voice, strangled from the sobs that had ripped out of his throat, he said:
"I hate him"
