Son Gohan had just finished his fight with Cell victoriously, he instantly collapsed on the ground smiling at his victory before going to shutting his eyes-they stung from the blast- and finally letting his exhaustion take him over.
A few hours later he woke up being healed by Dende with the eternal dragon in the sky announcing that all those killed by Cell had been brought back to life, except Goku as he has been brought back to life before.
He hears his friends coming up with a plan to contact Namek and then have him brought back to life, but then in his head he heard Goku telling them not to, he heard his friends begging Goku to come back but clearly they were getting nowhere.
"Guys I'm telling you it'll be fine, you have Gohan now who can defend the earth," he reassured, finally Gohan opened his eyes they still strung a little even though Dende had only just healed him, he also couldn't noticed something else, everything looked… black.
"G-guys, I can't see anything," Gohan screamed, frantically waving his hand in front of his face panic already setting in.
"What that's impossible I just healed you!" Dende yelled in confusion. Gohan just shook his head; still he could not see a thing. "Gohan calm down, it must have just been missed the first time around I'll try again," Dende reassured but he really didn't believe what he was saying, his powers had never failed without him noticing before.
A look of stern concentration overtook him as he tried again, the healing energy completely surrounding Gohan and Dende sweating profusely out of effort. "Dende just stop… it's not doing anything" Gohan whispered trying to sound accepting of what was happening but really he just sounded defeated.
"Now Gohan don't give up, King Kai is talking to the Namekians now, and Porunga can heal you," Goku said hopefully.
"No Goku he can't," King Kais voice could now to be heard in their minds as well as GOku's "He says that the blindness is natural so cannot be undone, if it could have been dealt with this way Shenron would have done so… this damage is irreversible" he said solemnly.
"Ok King Kai...tell the Namekians to wish me back to life then," Goku ordered with certainty, even though Gohan wanted his father alive he couldn't help but feel guilty, he knew the only reason he was coming back was to help him.
"D-dad I don't want you coming back just because of me," Gohan said although he didn't know if he really believed his own words, "I'll be fine," he reassured with finality.
"I know you will Gohan, but I just found out something that made me realize I had to come back, King Kai just told me he could sense another life in Chi-Chi, she's pregnant," he screamed the last part full of joy making Gohan smile at the thought of having a little brother, he had always wanted one and for a second he almost forgot about his own problems.
"That's great dad, does mom know?" Gohan asked knowing that is mother would have no way of finding out if it was early enough.
"Well she hasn't mentioned it," he said with uncertainty, "and if I think about it he must have been conceived leading up to the cell games since otherwise I would have felt it by now… so probably no," he surmised. Gohan grimaced at the thought of his parents having sex but managed to block the thought out.
"This is going to be great guys, how do you think we should tell her?" Gohan asked turning to the crowd, after some very bad ideas Goku appeared out of thin air screaming.
"Let me tell her please, please, please"
"That's sound like a good idea, after all you ar her husband," Krillin pointed out making Goku feel slightly embarrassed about his outburst.
"Um guys not to rain on your parade or anything but you currently have 2 dragons and 3 wished to use" King Kai pointed out making them all turn to where Shenron was.
"Oh yer, so what should we wish for"
2 hours later (A/N The 18/17 bombs wish happened and the Namekians asked for 16 to come be recreated (unlike the original series they didn't forget about him) and then just told Porunga to go away in case you're wondering I just didn't want to go through the effort when we know what happens between 18 Krillin already)
"Chi-Chi, me and Gohan are okay," Goku called stepping though the door with Gohan behind him. Bang, out of nowhere Chi appeared and hit Goku to the ground with the frying pan of doom-tm. Vegeta fell to the floor bursting with laughter next to him whilst pointing at the downed Saiyan.
"It's not funny Vegeta," Goku pouted with a sour look on his face.
"HOW DARE YOU LET MY BABY FIGHT THAT MONSTER, HE'S NEVER FIGHTING AGAIN NO TRAINING HE'LL JUST READ AND STUDY AND NOTHING ELSE ESPECIALLY NOT TRAINING!" she screamed loud enough to force for all present to cover their ears in pain.
"Um, mum about the whole 'reading and studying' thing I might not be able to do that," Gohan said awkwardly turning to face the sound of her voice.
"WHAT GOHAN, NO YOUR READ AND STUDY AND LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU TALK TO ME AS WELL!" she screamed at his once again making the Frying pan of doom appear out of nowhere.
"Chi-Chi, STOP!" Goku yelled surprising Chi-Chi, her husband rarely had such out bursts him doing so was surprising enough to stop her dead in her tracks. "There's a reason Gohan won't be reading or looking at you when he talks to you… he's… blind," Goku started out confidently but then felt awkward towards the end, blaming himself for making Gohan fight. He knew that he could have trained harder and done it himself but instead, instead he let an eleven year old fight his battles, he couldn't help the feelings of self loathing and disgust he felt. This was all his fault.
"What," Chi whispered so quietly that they weren't even sure she spoke.
"I'm blind mom," Gohan said and instantly she noticed that his irises were now grey showing that he was telling the truth, she instantly grabbed his and hugged his so tightly he could hardly breathe.
"Eh hem," Vegeta loudly cleared his throat drawing attention to his and Piccolos presence, "Me and Piccolo are going to start his training now," he announced.
"WHAT NO, you think I'll let my poor boy continue training in this state, no he'll stay at home where he's safe," she scolded.
"That's actually why we'll be training him to deal with his problem," Vegeta went on Chi-Chi looked at him with confusion written all over her face so he continued "Piccolo will increase his energy sense so he'll be able to see people better and I'll help with the other four senses," he announced proudly.
"What, how'd you be able to help with that," she asked genuinely confused as to how he would be any use helping deal with blindness.
"Well unlike you, I didn't grow up a spoilt little brat who had the luxury of not being fed poison," he spat and Chi decided she didn't want any further details, she knew Vegeta's had a tragic life and didn't really want to have the vivid details revealed to her right now, she was sad enough.
She gave a quick nod of consent and then proceeded to fawn over her blinded child. "Training with me is every other day at CC, you'll be with Piccolo or the third class the rest of the time," he announced before taking off into the air to return home.
"Don't worry kid, you'll be fine this training will work," Piccolo stated confidently putting his hand on Gohan shoulder in a comforting gesture.
"I know Piccolo, I'm going to be fine," Gohan said but even he didn't believe what he was saying, everyone knew it was just a brave face but weren't going to complain, he was dealing with the problem that's was enough for now.
A/N please review with what you think, and in case you're wondering the reason King Kai sensed Chi-Chis baby is because I think that with his age he would be better than Goku at sensing energy as it is a skill that would be improved the more you do it
And if you're worried this won't interfere with my other story… much I just needed to get it out my head, or I would have never been able to go on with the other story.
