This is a fanfiction about DBZ! The first few chapters might be a bit jumpy, and I'm sorry if there are flaws... But I'm setting the stage for the rest of the story! What I decided to do was add new characters. But I knew when I read fanfics where random Saiyans showed up, or nonSaiyans for that matter, I couldn't really get into it as well, because they weren't apart of the family ya know? So I'm writing the series if Chichi and Bulma had many more children than in the cannon. I'm excited! Let me know what you think, opinions on my writing, on the characters, what you want to happen, and even saiyan names for Goku and Vegeta's new children! I felt like this was a little sloppy...but I'm really trying to just introduce all the new characters then pick up after the Cell Saga. Anyway... REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
Prologue
Part 1
November 3 was proving to be an unforgettable day, even if Bulma wanted it to be. Nothing could be boring if it tried, so it seemed. After a startling phone call from Chichi Son, Bulma rushed into action, despite knowing of the action that seemed to also be taking place on another corner of the earth. Goku's life had been wished back to him and they were all counting on him to appear to save the day, for Saiyan warriors fell to the earth in two small space pods earlier this morning. Bulma was becoming used to the stress of her friends, after all it always began with Goku, whom had been one of her oldest and dearest friends. The planet always seemed to be needing Goku in one way or another, and today was no different. Though on top of this threat against the people of earth, someone else needed him too.
Bulma had been growing very, very slowly closer to Chichi in this last year since Gohan has been away. Though Bulma was never really fond of the Ox Princess, she found herself easily being drawn in to fill the necessary need in Chichi's life as soon as her dark haired friend had found out that she was pregnant with her second child. Chichi had been so alone, Bulma would always remember the thick tone of an abandoned heart in Goku's wife every time they spoke during this time. However, Chichi did perk up when Bulma started inviting her over for sonograms and finally to simply live at Capsule Corporation as her condition worsened. There were going to be complications with this child, though Chichi never even acknowledged the thought as all her mind wrapped itself around was one thing: She was having a daughter.
Sure enough, as Gohan and Goku were both training to save the planet from destruction Chichi gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Without her family nearby it was very difficult for Chichi to choose a name alone. She'd told Bulma that she liked Gowren or Wren-wren, a name like either hers or Goku's, but swiftly Bulma talked her out of those choices with a simpler one, name the girl Wren! Though Bulma herself liked a completely different style of well, everything from Chichi, the exhausted woman gave way and compromised. But as Chichi held on for her consciousness after her relentless labor, the doctors at West City Hospital informed her of just how bad Wren's condition was. The newborn baby was immediately sent to the ICU and not expected to live. Something about the baby's cells was very wrong, according to the doctors, but they had never seen anything like her before. Not only that but her blood was so thick it would barely draw, and to top that off a brown furry tail was wrapped around the baby's neck. The doctors were floored the alien baby had even lived as long as she had.
But now, on November 3, Chichi called Bulma to alert her that Wren was finally being released from the hospital today. Chichi had run herself ragged doing everything she could for the baby girl whose family didn't even know she existed. The doctors never figured out what was wrong with little Wren. She'd stayed in ICU with no progress, but no worsening conditions for months and the last few weeks had been moved to a room of normal urgency. She started to grow and become stronger, and from what Bulma had seen and heard from Chichi, Wren had been healthy already to begin with. Wren was an anomaly to the doctors. They had no clue what to do with her. Finally, they decided no more tests could be run and nothing seemed to be threatening the girl's life any longer so she must be released. Chichi had been furious at them for keeping her so pointlessly, but had given in when she'd only wanted to do what was best for her new little baby.
As Chichi got into the Capsule Corp jet, holding Wren safely in her arms, Bulma received a new phone call.
"Hello?"
"Bulma! Get back here quick! I need to use your jet!"
"You're not using my jet old man! What do you need it for?"
"I think the battle's over. Or getting close, hopefully. I think I need to go see Goku. He's back."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, if they're fighting?"
"Bulma! This is Goku we're talking about!"
"Yeah you're probably right. I'm on my way Roshi!"
Chichi turned to look at Bulma, "You want the first place my daughter goes to after the hospital to be the pervert's island?"
"We're just picking him up to go see Goku, Chichi."
"He's really back?! Gohan must be with him!"
"Yes, that's what Roshi told me earlier today. They've been fighting the two Saiyans from space all day today. Yamcha's with them! Krillin, Tien, Chiautzu, and Piccolo too."
"I'll kill that green man! Let's go Mr. Demon king!"
"Chichi, he's fighting WITH us." Bulma sighed. Chichi's foolish anger always faithfully gave Bulma a headache and a desire to yell back at her, but she'd held herself back for so many months now and today would not be a good day to start again. "Besides, we're going for Goku, Gohan, and our FRIENDS. Just be patient, please."
When they got to the small island Roshi quickly loaded the jet to begin flying to where he sensed the fighter's energy coming from. Roshi didn't make one immature comment towards Bulma nor did he even really notice Chichi holding Wren behind the fron two seats. At a random point Roshi announced they had arrived and cued Bulma to lower their altitude. Roshi stuck his head out the window and yelled down to someone the women could not see.
"Hey down there! You guys need some help?"
They could hear Krillin laughing from the sky and a faint noise sounded like Goku, but it was so weak... Bulma landed the jet.
The sight of Goku was completely unnerving. His body seemed mangled and broken, every piece of him swollen. The shirt of his gi had been completely torn to pieces and he could only open one eye. But even then a look of innocent triumph glowed on his face as he weakly smiled and asked how they were doing.
"Goku, how dare you go off and leave me like that! Do you even know how worried I was about you?! I was all alone and PREGNANT! I GAVE BIRTH TO A DAUGHTER ALONE GOKU! And then Gohan being left with that green demon?! Gohan was FOUR YEARS OLD GOKU! He grew a whole year without me! My baby - MY BABY!" Chichi turned to see her limp, naked son in Krillin's arms. She would've fainted if there hadn't been a soft humming from her sleeping little girl against her chest.
"Chichi, I hardly think this is the time to go off on Goku like that... He just saved us all!"
"Actually, it was really more of Gohan." Goku faintly answered.
"Sheesh Goku, you did so much! Don't be so modest." Krillin was the only other Z fighter around. Not even Piccolo was to be found.
"We need to get them into the jet, Krillin. Can you help me with Goku?" Roshi was on the move, something was obviously on his mind.
Bulma had been instructed to fly once all were aboard, but her body moved on autopilot as she wrapped her thoughts around what she'd seen, well really what she hadn't seen - who she hadn't seen. Yamcha was dead. He was gone... Who was going to be there for her to argue with? To boss around? To look pretty for? To make her feel important? To heal her pains? She loved him and he was gone... Something deep within her ached at the loss, but she must restrain its power over her for now. She had a plane to fly. But later...later she would weep.
East City was the closest major hospital around. It seemed like Wren was never going to get out of these places. The baby girl stirred awake about the same time that Gohan did, it was incredible really. Goku was unconscious once they'd lifted him from the ground to put him in the jet. And even as they checked in and nurses ran to him with a stretcher he still laid a dead weight, completely blind and unaware to the panic around him. Krillin and Gohan were checked in as well, both with more minor injuries than Goku. Bulma thought to leave, but had no real reason to go or stay. She decided to have her meltdown alone in her jet, whilst Roshi talked to Krillin and Chichi introduced Gohan to his new sister, Wren.
Gohan was a little over 5 years old and had lived his whole life either consumed in studies or fighting. He'd never really had too much of a reason to be distracted either, as both his areas of expertise were delivered to him in dramatic measures. And as he looked at the four month old baby in front of him, his focus was keenly on his miniature before him.
"Wren? Like a bird?"
"Yes, Gohan."
He examined her. She smiled when he'd said her name, a smile identical to his own. Her hair was defying gravity like his father's. It was a little different though. Her hair's basic shape was much like Goku's, however her's was longer and thinner. Dainty and girly looking, Gohan thought. She looked like a clone of their father except for the replicas of Chichi's eyes. Life bubbled from them as her joy was obviously that of her father's.
"Do you want to hold her, son?"
"Uh, not really..."
But Wren struggled from Chichi's grasp and crawled on the flimsy hospital bed over to snuggle up to her big brother. Chichi smiled and Gohan looked upset and surpised, afraid he would break the strange creature nuzzled against him.
Chichi sighed happily at her beautiful family. Wren nestled in Gohan's arms and Goku resting in the bed beside them. She finally felt at peace. But little did she know the battle was not over, nor would it be anytime soon. Mr. Popo was already planning their trip to Namek for the dragon balls and Gohan was already planning his breakaway to chase after the next adventure. Krillin was discussing the matter with Master Roshi in the next room over and soon preparations would be made. Chichi's dream of her normal, small, happy family all together at peace was going to end up a very, very different picture.
