AN: Hey guys! So yeah… it's been forever since I've updated a story, but… I don't know what to say. However, here's a new different kind of story that I hope all of you will enjoy. In this story, I'm not sure if the Z-gang could still use energy powers, they probably will but they won't be too over-powered. I think this story would work out better than the other because this idea has been in my head for a long while now. So hopefully, in the end, I'll be able to finish it.
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or any of the characters involved in this story.
It was bright starry night in the Ox kingdom. Everyone in the castle was sound asleep resting themselves up for the next day. However, this peaceful night was interrupted by a loud scream from the pregnant queen, Chi Chi.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" The king, Goku, woke up with a startle. "Chi Chi?! Chi Chi! What's wrong?" Goku was getting nervous and very scared of why his beautiful wife was screaming in pain. He quickly scanned the room to see if any assassin has gotten inside the castle, but was relieved to find no one.
"Ahhh! Goku! I- I think m-my water just broke!" cried Chi Chi in great pain.
Goku could only dumbly stare back as his wife screamed. "Um... It'll be alright Chi Chi. We'll get you new water."
Chi Chi punched Goku in the arm as she yelled, "NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! I MEAN THE BABY'S COMING!"
Goku jumped out of bed."What?! But its three weeks early! The baby can't come out now!"
"Tell that to the baby!" Goku quickly put his robe and slippers before telling Chi Chi to hold on until he gets the castle doctor, Bulma Briefs. Chi Chi nodded her head before letting out a cry of pain.
Goku ran through the castle as fast as he could to find Bulma. Along the way, he ran into his trusted guards who looked at him in panic.
"My king, what is happening to the Queen Chi Chi? Why is she screaming? Did someone break in? What is going on?" Krillin questioned Goku worriedly. Krillin is a short bald-headed man who has been Goku's best friend since they were children. Goku met Krillin on one of his escapades outside of the castle and has saved Krillin from getting run over by a crazy carriage. Krillin was thankful and told Goku about how he lived in the temple training with the monks. Goku, impressed by what he had heard, demanded a spar with Krillin. Krillin accepted thinking he could win, but was shocked when he lost. He was even more shocked when he learned that Goku was the crown prince of the kingdom, but Goku told him to just treat him without any special treatment. The friends grew close over the years and when Goku was crowned king, he made Krillin one of his guards.
"Krillin, Chi Chi is having the baby right now! I need to find Bulma as soon as possible." Goku answered in a tired voice.
"What?! But isn't it like three weeks early?" Yamcha cried in a panic. Yamcha was at first a well known bandit in the kingdom. However, one day he tried to rob the Ox-kingdom palace but was caught by the palace guards. Before King Bardock executed him, Goku tried to convince his father to let him live and train to become a palace guard with the other trainees Tien, Vegeta and Piccolo. King Bardock was stubborn at first, but through tons of persuasion he accepted his son's plea and let Yamcha become a guard not before threatening execution should he try to take anything from the palace.
"I know it's early but the baby is coming out right now. Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien you three go back to my room and help the queen any way you can. Piccolo and Vegeta help me go find Bulma."
Goku was about to run off before Vegeta stopped him. "Kakarot you fool. Why don't you just use that Instant Transmission of yours to lock onto the women's energy and transport yourself to her, get her, and back to your room to save yourself time from running around the castle like a mad idiot?" Vegeta asked Goku in an annoyed tone.
Goku smacked in his head and gave a nod of thanks to him before locking onto Bulma's ki transporting himself to her room, and found her soundly asleep. Bulma hated it when she didn't get enough of her "beauty" sleep. But this was an emergency.
"Bulma… Bulma… wake up! Please! Chi Chi's gone into labor! You need to wake up right now.' Goku shook her urgently, trying to get her awake. Bulma reluctantly woke up, rubbed her eyes before groggily asking Goku what's going on.
"Bulma! The baby's coming right! Quick! We have to get to her right now!"
Bulma snapped her eyes open and jumped out of bed. "The baby's coming? But it's kind of early for it to… ugh never mind." She pulled on her robe and her slippers before Goku teleported them back to the bedroom.
When Goku and Bulma arrived, they found Krillin and Yamcha panicking and trying to get Chi Chi as comfortable as possible while Tien, Vegeta, and Piccolo were leaning against the wall with calm expressions on their face.
"King Goku! You're back!" Krilln cried in relief.
"Yeah. Everyone you don't know how grateful I am for all your help this night. I'm really glad I have friends like you." Goku answered with a smile on his face.
Bulma ushered everyone, but Goku, out as he took a seat next to his wife and took her hand. "Thanks for holding on long enough for me to get here Chi Chi."
Chi Chi gave him a tired smile and answered, "Of course. I knew you wouldn't want to miss this for the world."
Bulma took her position and told the queen, "Okay Chi Chi. It looks like the baby's ready to come out. Now on my mark, push as hard as you can. Ready? Push!"
Chi Chi let a loud scream in pain at the same time began squeezing the life out of Goku's hand. "Ah! Chi Chi! You're killing my hand!"
After a few hours of endless screaming from the king and queen, the room was filled with the cry of the newborn baby. Bulma carefully took the baby to clean up and to wrap it in a silk blue blanket. She turned to face the tired parents. "King Goku and Queen Chi Chi, I am proud to present you your newborn baby. Congratulations you two, it's a boy!' She carefully handed Chi Chi the baby as Chi Chi looked upon him with great joy. The baby was a perfect blend of both his parents. He had his father's black hair though it looked much tamer, and his mother's light peach complexion.
"Hello there baby…" Chi Chi said to him in a tired voice. "I'm your mommy." Goku looked to his new son and gave him a big smile. "Hey little guy, I'm your daddy."
At the sound of his parents' voice, the baby struggled to open his charcoal eyes, but when he did, the light startled him and he started to cry. Goku gently took his son and tried to calm him down. "Hey… it's okay don't cry. Mommy and daddy are here. The light won't harm you." After a few minutes, the baby calmed down and stared at his father in awe.
A knock at the door interrupted the happy family moment. Krillin slightly opened the door and took a peek in. "Is it safe to come in?" Bulma nodded and gestured for them to come in. The guards cautiously came in but stopped at the sight of the new family. Goku turned to them and said, "Everyone, I would like you all to meet your new prince." Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha went to get a closer look of the new prince, while Piccolo and Vegeta stayed back and watched from afar.
The baby cooed in happiness at the attention he was getting from all these strange people. The coo made everyone smile in happiness.
"He's adorable sire. Did you pick out a name though?" asked Yamcha. Goku and Chi Chi looked at each other in worry. "Um… no. No we haven't." Goku answered sadly. Chi Chi cried out in despair. "Oh no! We're such horrible parents! We haven't even planned out a name for our baby!"
Bulma quickly went to her side and tried to calm her down. "No! No! No! Don't say that my queen! Your son has just been born. It's normal for him not to have a name so early. Why don't you guys just come up with a name now?" Chi Chi calmed down and nodded her head.
"Okay, that's fine. So… what's a good strong name for our little prince?" Everyone took a moment to think about it. "I got it! How about Einstein?!"
"Einstein?!" Everyone questioned in disbelief.
"Yes." Chi Chi took the baby from Goku. "It's a good name. And Einstein was a very intelligent man. That's kind of person I want our son to be." The nameless baby cried out in horror at the sound of his new name. Goku rubbed the back of his neck and gave a sheepish smile. "I don't think he likes that name Chi."
"Well I got one! How about Yamcha Jr.?" suggested Yamcha. Though, the baby only cried out even louder.
"Nope. He hates that name too." Krillin and Tien laughed as Yamcha dropped to the floor. Goku thought about the baby's name for a few more moments until he looked over and saw the four-star dragonball perched on a purple pillow onto of the dresser. He mumbled the name, "Gohan." Everyone stared at the king in confusion. "What was that, honey?"
Goku gave them a big smile as he took the baby out of Chi Chi's arms as he said, "In honor of my grandfather, I shall name my son, and the future king of the Ox-Kingdom, Gohan." The newly named prince cooed happily and clapped his hands at the sound of his new name.
"Gohan…" Chi Chi smiled at the sight her husband and son. "It's perfect."
"Your grandfather would be honored to have your son named after him, Goku." Piccolo told the King.
Goku took his son to the window and together they watched the sun rise. "Yes, young Prince Gohan of the Ox-Kingdom. Little man, you'll be a great prince to the kingdom and probably an even better ruler. Hey, maybe you'll be even better than me!" Goku stared at the slowly rising sun as the guards and Bulma quietly left the room to let the royal family have their moment. Goku looked down at his now sleeping son and said to him, "You are truly a gift from heaven above my son and I will teach you everything you need to know. How to fight. How to rule. How to drive your guards crazy." Chi Chi laughed at this comment. "But whatever happens, just know that your mother and I will always love you and we will keep you safe from any harm. After all, you are our pride and joy."
He went to the bed and carefully placed Gohan in his wife's arms. She smiled down at her beautiful baby boy and placed a kiss on his head. "Welcome to the world, my baby boy."
