For the Sake of my Child
Geez, can I actually complete a story without starting a new one? Low Mans Lyrics will never be completed, Stranger is a new fic still in the making, and now this one? I'm sorry, I have so many ideas! What's this one about you say?
This one I had in my head for a while. Gohan is a Daddy, the mother will be unnamed since she will be dead, and has a daughter named Pan. (The mother could be Lime or another person. That's for you to chose cause I know most people don't like Lime in a fic. That's why the mother of Pan, and the lover of Gohan, will be anonymous.) He wants to live a normal life and decides to go to High School leaving his three-month-old daughter in the hands of his mother. Since his loved died when Pan was born, Gohan vowed to never fall in love, afraid to lose someone close like his love. . . and his father. The story line will pretty much be the same WITHOUT SAIYAMAN!!!! Gohan will get blackmailed a different way and will have to teach Videl how to fly. He has to do this while hiding his child from Videl. There will be a tournament and possibly, saying that I am right now, Buu. Goku will come back and learn what he has missed over the years; a new son and a granddaughter. Thus begins the fanfiction "For the Sake of my Child."

Gohan sat in the hospital chair with his hands in his hair. Today he was a Dad of an eight pound six ounces, average height daughter. There were two problems Gohan was facing today and no senzu bean, or Dendae, could heal. His love, the mother of their child, was bleeding internally and the blood was not stopping. Pan, their daughter, was having breathing problems and had to be taken away quickly.
Chi-Chi and the others stayed away from Gohan for the time being. They gave their luck and congratulations but that didn't help much for Gohan. He had a fear of losing his love and Pan at the same time. He hoped that both of them would survive and live happily with his mother, at least, until they found a house of their own.
"Mr. Son." Gohan lifted his head up to the male doctor. His white lab coat was slightly staid with the blood of his love. Gohan only hoped that she was okay and maybe had to stay in the hospital for a few days. The look on the doctor's face proven his hopes wrong. "Your daughter can now breathe on her own and you can take her home today."
Gohan smiled but quickly frowned.
"What about . . . " Gohan couldn't finish what he was going to say. The doctor's head turned slightly away and Gohan's eyes widen in fear.
"I'm sorry Mr. Son. She lost too much blood during the delivery and there was nothing we can do. She's gone."
Gohan lowered his head as tears filled up his eyes. He said a small 'thank you' and the doctor slowly walked away. His footsteps could be heard through the empty hallway and soon the stepping of the feet stopped.
Gohan sat there alone in the waiting room with tears falling rapidly down his face. He quickly wiped them away and stood up. He might as well bring his daughter home and give everyone the news of a new member of the family and the loss of another.
***Three months later***
"It's been a while Chi-Chi," Bulma said pouring some tea in her cup. Bulma and Chi-Chi were at the Son house in the late afternoon. The house was filled with many, MANY baby stuff all over the place. The playpen was near the door, a swing was right next to the couch, a highchair never used was placed next to an empty chair, a baby bath was in the sink, baby bath stuff was next to it, thousands of bottles were in the fridge, baby food piled in the cupboards, baby spit up rags all over the couch, must I continue?
"I know Bulma but it's been hectic here," Chi-Chi said adding sugar to her tea. "Gohan is trying his best as a single parent and he doesn't want me to help him. He says the only way to learn is to do it yourself. My job is to spoil the kid so he doesn't have to buy anything for her."
"How is he? I know he's been taking it hard for the past few months losing her and all."
"It still hurts him but he does have a positive attitude about it. Pan reminds him of her and it's a child they created together. Her love and his love made Pan and Pan is so much like her mother, in looks I mean. Her nose, her smile, and she always knows how to make Gohan work!"
Both women laughed and drank their tea.
"So did Gohan bring Pan to the park with Goten and Trunks," Bulma asked taking a cracker from the plate. "I know Vegeta went to keep Gohan company but I'm not sure if Gohan left Pan with her other grandparents?"
"Um," Chi-Chi said putting down her tea. Bulma saw the look on her face and questioned it. Chi-Chi sighed and put her hands on her lap. "Pan's other grandparents want nothing to do with her. They blame her for the death of their daughter and they never want to see her again. They never want to see her or Gohan again."
"That's a shame," Bulma said. "I guess Gohan wasn't very happy with that at all."
"He wanted the best for Pan but they said no. Gohan begged and they told him that if he ever stepped foot on their property with or without Pan then they will arrest him. They moved to America to be as far away from Gohan and Pan."
"You know how important family is to Gohan. He even made Vegeta an uncle and me an aunt. Trunks is now Pan's cousin and my parents are a great aunt and uncle. They may not see Pan as often as they want-"
"That's because Gohan is a baby hog," Chi-Chi said with a laugh. Bulma laughed in with Chi-Chi.
"What are you women laughing about," Vegeta said stepping inside the Son household. They laughed louder when they saw the prince of all saiyans. He was covered from hear to toe in sand and his shirt and pants were slightly torn. A few scratches were shown on his face and a small bruise on his right cheek. "Why are you two laughing?"
"It's just you Vegeta," Bulma said pointing at him. "Did you have fun at the park?"
"Do you know what it's like having to take care of two hyper saiyans, having a baby that has a diaper change every ten minutes, and chasing them through the whole playground to get the stinking pacifier that the kids stole and hearing the stupid baby crying for over an hour? I'm not making anymore bets with you women!"
"So that's why you went," Chi-Chi said as she saw Goten and Trunks enter the room. "I thought you went to keep Gohan company? That's what Bulma told me."
"She lies," Vegeta cried. "I am using that over sized tube in the front lawn. Keep those kids and that shitting baby away from me!"
Vegeta walked back outside and Gohan entered holding blankets in his hands. Inside those blankets was his little girl, Pan. Her face was covered with the blankets and so was her tiny body. Gohan held her carefully and walked towards his mother and Bulma. Goten and Trunks followed and sat down next to their parents. Gohan soon sat down next to them and removed the blankets covering Pan's head.
Pan had a head full of hair and it was in a small ponytail. Her nose was small and she had her pacifier in her mouth. Her eyes were not like Gohan's, but it did have the dark color of black. They were more rounded, like her mothers. Her hands were small and formed into tiny fists.
"There's my little granddaughter," Chi-Chi said moving the blanket slightly to see Pan. "Did you have fun at the park honey?"
"She had a blast," Gohan said with a low, monotone in his voice. His eyes never left the child he was holding. Bulma had to raise an eyebrow on that. "She likes the swings."
"So Goten and Trunks took her pacifier and Vegeta chased them around."
"I couldn't chase them while carrying Pan."
"How many times did you change her diaper," Bulma asked trying to get more words out of Gohan's mouth. "Vegeta said every ten minutes."
"Three times actually."
"And she pooped every time," Trunks cried. "She stunk up the whole entire park! I guess Dad was scaring the shit out of her, literally!"
"What did I tell you about cursing," Bulma yelled at Trunks. Pan made a small cry and Bulma lowered her voice. "Go take a bath with your father, both of you." She pointed to both Trunks and Goten.
"Okay," the two cried running outside. About ten seconds later, you could hear a cry of "no" coming form the one and only, Vegeta. Bulma turned her attention towards Gohan and Pan. She hasn't seen Pan in two months.
"Pan has grown a lot," Bulma said getting up from her seat and walking towards Gohan. "Can I hold her?"
"She doesn't like to be held," Gohan said keeping his head down.
"I'm her aunt Gohan! She should love me! I can spoil her with gifts and inventions that go wrong. Please, I never held her before."
"Ah Bulma," but Chi-Chi was cut off when Gohan handed Pan to Bulma. Pan looked up at Bulma and screamed. Bulma tried to calm her down but it only made it worse. Gohan grabbed Pan out of Bulma's arms and soon the crying died down. All was silent once again.
"Told you," Gohan said walking out of the kitchen and walking upstairs to his room with Pan in his arms. "Oh, and I'm starting school tomorrow at Orange Star High School. I have four periods so after school I can work and come home."
Bulma was shocked by the news and turned towards Chi-Chi.
"It's true," Chi-Chi said as Bulma sat back down in her seat. "He wants to finish high school. That's what she would want him to do."
"What does he mean four periods," Bulma asked. "And when did he have a job?"
"Seniors can get out of school early if they have jobs," Chi-Chi started to explain. "It's something called Co-op and Gohan needs ten credits to pass. He has to take four classes so he's taking English Lit. 12, Gym, Trigonometry, and Exploring Childhood. After school, he works to a fancy restaurant and busts tables and sometimes waiters. He works five hours and comes straight home to Pan. He only works three nights, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and the rest of the time is with Pan. He never leaves her side. The only people that really hold her are Gohan and myself. Pan always cries when being held by anyone else, even my father."
"Does Gohan always keep his head down?"
"When she died Gohan never was the same. He never smiles and he always does short talk. He says that maybe hanging around people his own age could help keep his mind distracted from her."
"So that's why he's going to high school?" Chi-Chi nodded. "Well that's good. He needs to look brighter and he needs to smile again! Working can help him afford his own place and maybe he'll find a nice girlfriend. Who knows, maybe you can get more grandchildren!"
"I don't think so," Chi-Chi said looking at her lap. Bulma titled her head in confusion.
"What do you mean," she asked.
"Gohan...Gohan doesn't want to fall in love again. He's been hurt enough times and he doesn't want to be hurt again. First his father...and then his lover. He doesn't want the pain anymore!" Chi-Chi started to cry. "He locks himself in his room and barely eats his dinner. He doesn't sleep anymore and...and...oh Bulma! I just want to see him smile again!"
Chi-Chi lunged forward and hugged Bulma around the waist. She began to weep in Bulma's lap and all Bulma could do was hold her.
"It will be all right Chi-Chi," Bulma said trying to reassure her friend.
"I wish Goku was here," Chi-Chi whispered. "Maybe then I can see him smile."
"Don't worry Chi-Chi. You will see Gohan smile again. It's only been three months since she died. It takes time and I know Gohan wants to smile again."
Chi-Chi lifted up her head and pushed herself away from Bulma.
"It is still hard on him," Chi-Chi said wiping away her tears. "I still miss her. She always knew how to make Gohan happy."
"Do what she does then." Chi-Chi laughed. "What?"
"I think it is illegal to have sex with my son Bulma! Even though it put a smile on his face, it will feel like sleeping with my own father!"
Bulma laughed along side with Chi-Chi. At least Bulma could make her friend smile.
So how was the first chapter? To say it again, Gohan's lover is not going to be mentioned. It could be whoever you want it to be, Lime, Mai, Sasami, Ranma, or even Botan! You're choice.
Please review. I'm trying the two story thing so I'll be typing two, three (Low Mans Lyrics) stories. So I'll try to keep each story up and try to add another chapter for LML. As you can see, it was once again booted off. But, it will be back; just straight to the point.
