Got some writer's block for my Krillin x Goku fanfic, so I wrote this up instead. Based off of My red string by Ithilwen-Asari. It's surprisingly easier to write for female Goku and Krillin for some reason. Dunno why. Also thought the story was cute and was disappointed the writer never came back to it.


I never knew why Krillin accepted my offer to take him out for dinner, but that doesn't mean I wasn't happy about it. I was actually pretty excited about our date. I was scared of asking him as I felt that he saw me as nothing more than a friend. When I asked him, he seemed surprised, but happily excited my invitation to dinner. Bulma helped me to get ready for the occasion since I didn't know anything about girly stuff like she did. It felt weird wearing a dress for Krillin. I mean wearing a dress felt normal since I did occasionally wear one, but I've woren one since I've been around Krillin. Just shorts and that's all.

It went ralatively well and Krillin even kissed me afterwards. I felt like I was on cloud nine. Since then we've been on plenty of other dates, although I wasn't always wearing a dress during those since he told me as long as I was with him it didn't matter what I wore. Bulma would always comment on what a cute couple we were much to my then boyfriend's embarrassment. But it was true, we did look good together. Truthfully, I was only saying that because Krillin was my first and only love and he still is now. After years of dating, Krillin had finally worked up the nerve to propose to me. I had wanted to propose first, but Bulma was quick to remind me that it was the guy who did so. If a woman did it, it might hurt the guy's pride or something like that. So I decided to wait on him, which took too long. I would often find myself instantly blurting out "Yes!" whenever Krillin would often start out a sentence with "Goku, will you...?" only for the words "...marry me?" to never follow up. I was starting to think he wasn't going to especially when he left the Kame House for weeks on end and didn't come back.

The whole time I was worried and scared he had run off with another woman. Bulma promised to help beat his bald head into a bloody pulp. Then after 2 weeks he came back with a wedding ring, saying he had gone off so long to find the perfect ring for me. I immediatley called up Bulma and told her about what Krillin did. She was really happy for me though she was jealous that Yamcha was yet to do the same for her. The wedding took forever to come, but when it came I was really excited for it. After the reception, we went to my house were Krillin and I had sex for the first time. Neither of us knew what to do at first although he had a better clue of what to do than me. It ended up being great after a bit of experimenting. A few months later, I started feeling a little sick. I never got sick so it was strange for me to be feeling that way. We went to the doctor and found out I was pregnant.

I was happy about having a baby. Krillin was happy to although he was surprised we were going to be parents so soon. I on the other hand didn't mind. I'd always wanted a baby and was eager to have one. As we prepared for the baby to come, I wondered what he or she would be like or look like. Would it look like me or Krillin? Would it have that bald head I loved so much that Krillin had? Would it have my nose or no nose like Krillin? Each passing day was getting to me.

"When is this baby coming?" I admittedly whined to my husband was a rubbed my stomach as I sat back as I watched Krillin put up the crib.

"About a week according to the door." said Krillin.

"A week? That's like forever!" I pouted. "I wish this baby would come faster."

"Ready to be a mother so soon?" laughed Krillin.

"Of course. I wonder if it's going to be bald."

"Are you just saying that because I'm bald?"

"Well yeah. I mean why not?"

"I can grow hair."

"Then why don't you?"

"Because if I did, you said you'd just shave it off because you loved my baldness." said her husband as he took a look at the instructions.

"I can't help it. There's something a bald man that makes me all tinglily inside." I said rubbing my belly as the baby kicked.

"Is that all? I'm surprised you didn't get with Tien then."

"You know it's more than that, Krilli." I said as I kissed the top of his head. I then whispered in his ear. "I like my men short too."

Krillin shook his head in amusement as he went back to work on the crib while I went for a snack that Krillin would call a meal. While eating, I felt my water break. I alerted Krillin of the situation and he went to go get the stuff we would need for the hospital. However the baby didn't have the patience to wait for him. I ended up giving birth in the kitchen floor to a baby boy we named Gohan after my late grandfather. According to Krillin, Gohan was a pretty quiet baby which was true. He hardly ever cried. He was a pretty happy baby and we were pretty great parents. Krillin would often worry he wasn't being a good father, but I was always quick to assure him otherwise. He was too hard on himself when he needn't be.

One day when we went to visit Roshi with Gohan, we'd just been sitting around chatting when I sense a massive power level coming our way and unusually fast. This could mean trouble. Before any of us could determine if this meant something, a tall man with long spiky hair showed up. My son clung to his father while I stood in front of them not wanting to let him get any closer to me or my family. He claimed he was my older brother and I was apart of an alien race called the saiyan. Krillin told him to get lost and with rapid speed, he sent my husband flying into the house. Instinctively, I ran to him making sure he wasn't too badly hurt. Before I knew it, he'd ripped my own child away from me as he tried to make his way over to us and told me if I didn't kill a high enough number of people, he'd kill my son.

I was horrified at what he had said and even more so at what he had done. I couldn't kill anybody, but if I didn't he'd kill my son. There was only one thing to do and that was go after him. I couldn't though. Krillin volunteered to go, but I stopped him. Krillin wasn't as strong as me and he'd be killed if he tried. Then Piccolo stepped in surprising all of them. I wasn't entirely sure about teaming up with him, but he was my only choice. As we headed towards Raditz's location, I could only hope nothing went wrong.
