When Gohan had gotten up that day, he hadn't expected divorce papers to be put in front of him at breakfast. Videl wasn't angry or upset with him, she was calm as she spoke, adjusting their one year old daughter in her lap. "I can't do it anymore, Gohan. I love you but you're never home and you don't spend any time with Pan." She sighed. "You're just like your father and I don't want that for her. I'm not happy anymore."
He was dumbstruck. He gaped at the papers in disbelief and looked up at her. "Videl, I.. what do you want me to do? I can't stop training. I can't just stand aside when earth is attacked."
"You have a family now!" Videl argued. "Leave it to the others!"
"They aren't strong enough!" Gohan countered and tossed the papers back across the table.
Videl sighed. "Just.. sign the papers." She said softly. "Please, Gohan.. don't make this any harder on me than it is."
With a heavy heart.. Gohan gave in. He signed the papers and stood from the table, giving his daughter a kiss on the cheek and then pressed his forehead to Videl's. "I'll always love you."
"Me too, Gohan." Videl cried. "Me too."
~~~~~~Two Months~~~~~~
Videl sighed. It had been two months since the divorce papers were signed. She hadn't heard from Gohan in nearly a month. The last she had heard, he had a quick hook up with some guy. She hadn't even known he swung that way. Maybe that was why he wasn't happy but then, they did have their beautiful daughter so maybe Gohan was bi?
"Videl.." The voice had been soft. She looked up and met the eyes of a classmate she hadn't seen in a long time. She smiled. "Josh! Hi!" She hugged him and he flushed. Joshua Jude Maxwell was a petit shy man with a bulky build, skin tight jeans and a very colorful snuggly fitted tank top that showed off his chest and biceps.
"How are you?" She asked him.
"I'm.. good.." He murmured. "This is your daughter?"
"Yes, this is Pan." Videl smiled and had Pan wave her hand to Josh. The man returned the smile and wave. Pan was adorable he thought to himself as he looked up at Videl. Then again, her mother was also cute. "Is.. your husband around?" He asked.
"Ah.. no." Videl kind of deflated at the question. "We divorced, two months ago. I haven't seen or heard from him in a month.
"What about Pan? Doesn't he call or come see his daughter?" That got him a huff in response, the comment agitating Videl. "Of course not! Why would he?! He's too busy with his training!"
Honestly! Gohan frustrated her to no end! Josh was right. He could at least call and come see Pan. It wasn't like it would take him days to do so. He could just fly right over even if he was on the other side of the planet.
"Sorry to hear that."
Videl sighed. What could you do? "What can you do?" She shrugged a shoulder and smiled at him again. "I'll give you my number. Call me sometime."
Josh flushed. "O-okay.."
