Summary: I know that by now almost everyone has seen the meme of Gohan saying, "He took my greatest accomplishment, I took his daughter's virginity". Well, what if Chichi had cornered Hercule after he took credit for defeating Cell and demanded something in return: Videl's hand in marriage.
Author's Notes: I'm not really sure where I plan to go with this fanfiction. But Gohan and Videl are my favorite couple from DBZ so I wanted to write something about them.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, DBZ belongs to Akira Toriyama and not me. If it belonged to me, there would be more romance in it. And it would probably be less awesome.
It was a dark, rainy day. It had been a week since the passing of the Cell games. Cell had been destroyed by the world champion, Hercule Satan. At least that's what the unsuspecting people of the world thought. The world was now safe and the celebrations of Cell's defeat had not yet ceased. Everyone was happy. Everyone except the Z fighters. They were happy to be alive, that was for sure, but they had lost someone very important to them on that day and it didn't seem like something they should celebrate. A son had lost his father, and a wife her husband. For them, it was a time of sorrow.
Son Gohan was crushed. He had defeated Cell. It should have been one of the proudest moments of his life, but all he could think about was his father's death. And it certainly didn't help that the silly looking man with an afro had taken credit for what he had done.
The Z fighters had gathered together on this day to mourn the death of their beloved friend, Son Goku. Even his self-proclaimed rival Vegeta had shown up to give his support to the Son family. However, Vegeta wasn't necessarily interested in attending a gathering to mourn Kakarot's death, what he was interested in was the hear the surprise that his woman was going on and on about. However, as soon as he got there, it was obvious to him what the surprise was. He could sense it. Kakarot's wife was pregnant with her second child. He rolled his eyes. That moron would decide to die and leave his wife to raise his second son. He couldn't even properly raise his first one. He had left that to the green bean.
Speaking of his first son, Vegeta thought, looking for Gohan. He saw the boy's dark face looking down at the table. How annoying, he thought. This kid had been able to do what he, the prince of all Saiyans couldn't do, what nobody else could do, and he was upset about the factthat his father had chosen to remain dead, when he should be proud and boasting of his accomplishment. He growled, how dare that Kakarot die when he didn't have the chance to beat him yet. Calming down, he changed his focus to the conversation between the small bald guy, and his woman's weakling ex-boyfriend. He couldn't be bothered to call them by their names.
"I can't believe Hercule took credit for beating Cell," he heard the bald one say. This was his first time hearing this information. He didn't like sitting in front of the video box like his wife did when she was feeding Trunks, so he didn't know any of the news that happened on this mud ball of a planet. Now that's something to be upset about, he frowned and looked back at Gohan. The look on the young boy's face was starting to annoy him. He stood up and walked over to Gohan, crossing his arms.
Gohan noticed the shadow looking over him, but was too deep into his own thoughts to care. This just frustrated Vegeta even further. He grabbed Gohan by the hair and thrust his face up so that he was looking at him directly. Everyone in the room stopped to look at them.
"What are you doing to my baby?!" Chichi screeched from table next to Bulma.
Vegeta looked the boy in the eye for a second. He could feel the negative emotion radiating from the boy. It was driving him crazy. "What is wrong with you, brat?! You are acting like a pathetic emotional human! You're a Saiyan, you're better than that!" Gohan blinked, unsure of whether Vegeta was giving him a compliment or not, but then cringed as he felt his hair being pulled on again. "How long are you going to sit here feeling sorry for yourself?" Vegeta asked, raising his voice at the shocked young boy. The spectators also watched in amazement. They had never seen Vegeta act this way before.
"I would have killed to be in your shoes right now and be the one who beat Cell. But I wasn't strong enough. I am the prince of all Saiyans! And you're just the half-breed son of third class buffoon!" He yelled.
Gohan glared at him. He would not tolerate Vegeta talking badly about his father. Especially not today, "Don't you dare call him a buffoon," he said, grabbing Vegeta by the collar.
To his surprise, Vegeta just smirked at him, "And finally, you're beginning to act like a Saiyan. I thought there was no hope for you." Gohan looked up at Vegeta and let him go, "Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's disgusting and it's bothering everyone else. There is no pride in self-pity." He said, sneering as he turned around. "And besides, I believe that your mother has some good news."
Everyone turned to Chichi whose eyes were wide. How had Vegeta known that she had good news? She had told everyone that she had a surprise, but hadn't said anything else about it. Recovering from her shock, she slowly stood up.
"Oh wait," she heard Bulma say, pulling out some Champagne. "If it's good news, then we need to do cheers!" She said excitedly.
"Nope, sorry," Chichi said, smiling and rubbing her stomach, "I can't drink. I'm pregnant!" Most people would be upset to know that they were pregnant after their husband had just died, but not Son Chichi. She knew that having a baby would be the perfect thing to distract her and her son from his death.
"No way!" Bulma squealed. "This is so exciting! Now Trunks will have someone to play with!" she said, giving her friend a hug.
The Z fighters took turns giving the Chichi their congratulations while Gohan stood there frozen. He was going to have a baby brother or sister. He felt a wave of emotions going through him. All of his previous thoughts had disappeared and were replaced by thoughts of his new sibling until he realized that this baby would grow up not knowing his or her father. Gohan was extremely saddened by the thought. There had been a lot of times when he was growing up that his father wasn't around, but at least he knew that his father loved him and was out there somewhere. He couldn't imagine a life without him. He could feel Vegeta's glare from across the room. He must have had the same hopeless look that he had on his face before. But this was different. This baby gave Gohan a goal, a purpose in life. He was going to make up for the fact that this baby had no father by being the best brother ever. He smiled as he thought of all of the things that they could do together.
Chichi looked over at her son and smiled warmly. It was the first time she had seen her son smile in a while. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I love you Gohan," she said, "I'm sure you're going to be a great older brother."
After a while, she broke the embrace. "That's not the only news I have." She said, suddenly turning serious. "Yesterday I went to Hercule, that no-good liar who took credit for my baby's accomplishment, and I demanded that he somehow repay us."
Everyone in the room cheered with the exception of Vegeta who just smirked as he imagined the terrified look on the champ's face while he was "negotiating" with Chichi. He knew how terrifying Kakarot's mate could be when she was angry.
"He was so terrified that he offered to come clean about the whole thing," she said, smirking. "But I told him that my baby doesn't need that kind of pressure in his life right now."
Everyone in the room looked at her like she was crazy, "But why?" Yamcha asked. "You could get all the money and the fame!"
"And have everyone find out that my baby's an alien!" she screamed, "There is no way that we want to be surrounded by reporters. I don't want people following my son wherever he goes." The group nodded. It made sense. They did live all the way out in the middle of nowhere for a reason.
"I was just about to suggest that he just give us a large sum of money when his daughter came out into the room and started screaming at him for lying to her," Chichi grabbed her handkerchief and pretended to start crying, "That poor girl. That idiot even lied to his own daughter," she sighed and put away her handkerchief. "I wanted to do something for her. She was so spunky and cute! She reminded me of myseld when I was her age. And that made me think. I asked Hercule how old she was."
The room was silent. Gohan stared at his mother. He did not like where this was going.
"It turns out," Chichi continued, "She happens to be the same age as my Gohan!" she squealed and jumped up and down excitedly. "Isn't that great Gohan?!"
Gohan's mouth twitched and he laughed nervously, "Yeah… great mom… What did you do?"
"It's the perfect plan actually. Once you guys turn 18 you will get married and then you'll marry in to Hercule's fortune, which is actually yours anyways! And in the end, when that sucker dies, you'll get all of his money!" She said happily.
The room was silent. Even for Chichi, this was outrageous. Gohan was just a kid. There was no way that he was even thinking about getting married. Everyone turned when they heard someone laughing in the corner. They knew that it was a bad idea when the one laughing was Vegeta.
"Are you insane?!" Gohan yelled his mom.
Chichi frowned at him, "Insane? Gohan this is the perfect plan! This young girl is a martial artist! And she's rich! She's perfect wife material!"
"But mom, I don't even know her!" Gohan exclaimed, "Does she even want to marry me?"
Chichi frowned. Actually Hercule's daughter was pretty upset when her father had considered giving away her hand in marriage. But she wasn't about to let Gohan know that. "Of course she does! Who wouldn't want to marry my perfect little angel?" she said, reassuringly.
Gohan felt like he was going to faint. This was too much news for one day. He had gotten a younger sibling and a fiancé all in one day. His legs felt like they were about to give out so he pulled out a chair and sat down. He heard Vegeta laughing harder and figured that he must have had a pretty awful look on his face.
"Now Gohan, when you turn 17, I'm going to send you to Orange Star High School and you can meet her!" Chichi told him. She and Hercule had agreed to this so that Gohan and Videl could live like normal teenagers until they graduated high school and got married.
Gohan suddenly had a massive headache.
"I can't believe you!" Videl screamed, tears pouring down her face, "How could you do this to me?!" She threw all of the pillows off of her bed at her father. "You lied to everyone, even me! And now you're telling me that I have to pay for it by getting married to the Delivery Boy?!" She had to admit that the Delivery Boy was pretty cute, and strong at that, but she didn't know anything about him. He was probably a muscle-headed idiot like all of the men at her father's gym, of that guy Sharpener in her class. "Don't you care about me at all?!" She shouted.
"I do care about you, Videl," Hercule said, his voice breaking, "That's why I have to do this." He wasn't one to get emotional, but he felt guilty for the first time since the Cell games. His intentions were pure. He just wanted to give his little girl the life she deserved. He had just told a little white lie and now it had become a huge deal and it was causing his daughter to suffer. "Videl, believe me. This is the best way. If I came out about the Cell games, then we would lose everything. We'd be homeless."
At this point, Videl had stopped crying and was shaking with anger. She couldn't do anything and she knew it. That was what aggravated her the most. She needed a way to take out her frustration. She stormed past her dad and out of her room.
"Videl, honey, where are you going?" She heard her dad calling. But by that point, she was already almost downstairs. She hadn't yet gotten used to the new mansion that was built for their father after he "defeated" Cell, but she did know how to get to her favorite room: the gym. She ran into the gym and threw all of her anger and frustration into one punching bag. She did this multiple times until she was exhausted and could barely stand. She fell to the ground panting and then started to think about the Delivery Boy and wondered what kind of life he was living while she was living in this giant mansion. The mansion that should have been his.
That's it so far! Leave me a review and let me know how it is!
