The Gift

"Goku, you're going to be able to beat Cell, right?" Chi Chi asked, breaking the silence of the darkness.
Goku sighed and turned on his side to face his wife. She propped her elbow up on the pillow and looked at him with hopeful eyes. He smiled and laughed in the back of his throat.
"Honestly, Chi Chi, I don't believe I'll be able to defeat Cell. He's too much stronger than me." Her eyes went wide with shock and fear.
"But." He laughed at her worried reaction and threw his arm over her back, incidentally causing her to be pushed down with its weight.
"Chi Chi, you know I'm not the only fighter." He shut his eyes, hoping he wouldn't have to reveal who he knew would defeat Cell in the end.
She already didn't want Gohan even going with them, and if she knew that he was going to have to fight Cell.well, Goku didn't want to be around when that happened.
Unfortunately, Chi Chi was not so easily satisfied
"But, Goku! Who else is there that's stronger than you?" Goku smiled.
"Don't worry, Chi Chi. I know that everything will be fine.." She sat up quickly, despite the weight of his muscular arm.
"How can you tell me not to worry, Goku?? And you can't know that everything will be fine!!" He sat up, too, and placed his finger over her lips.
"Shh.You'll wake Go." Suddenly he stopped. He shut his eyes, trying to bring back the picture that had just flashed before him.
It was a boy- a child. Goku gasped. It looked like him when he was younger.
He looked at Chi Chi, who was watching him curiously.
"What is it?" Goku looked at Chi Chi, and the picture flashed before his eyes again.
He realized what it meant, and what he had to do.
Many hours later, his exhausted wife asleep in his arms, Goku sat thinking. That face he had seen. He knew who it was.
It was his second son.
He sighed and looked down at his wife. As he brushed a strand of dark hair away from her face, he had to wipe a tear away from his own cheek.
Somehow, he knew he wouldn't be coming back after the Cell Games. Just like he knew his second son had been conceived tonight.
He had always had the ability to feel glimpses of the future and what was to come. How, or why? He had no idea.
Another tear escaped, and Goku suddenly was struck by a random thought.
He had never allowed anyone to see him cry.
He was the strong, optimistic one. If he allowed the others to see him cry, they felt unprotected and vulnerable.
They deserved to be happy. And he had no right to burden them with his worries, when they already had so much to worry about.
I know, it's not much, and it's not my best work, but oh well. I wrote it quite some time ago after reading about the theory that Bardock passed down his gift to Goku, who passed it to Gohan (Future Gohan more than the present one)
