Here is my first Dragon Ball Z Fan Fiction. I LOVE Chichi and Goku – they are my favorite characters and couple out of DB/DBZ/DBGT.. Thank you to my beta Aizoufor going over this story for me! You are the best!

I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OF DBZ OR THE SHOW.

Chapter 1

The wind blew her dark hair back, whispering its warnings as it blew past her ears. As she looked around frantically, a feeling of dread washed over her…

'Where are they?' she thought as ominous noises filled her ears.

She ran though the forest; she could hear the screams, the yells…

'Gohan,' she whispered as she made it to the clearing. 'Goku?' She stared in disbelief. 'No... No, this can't be happening… No!' Tears filled her eyes as she saw lines of unmoving bodies. 'Oh, Kami...'

She shook her head. Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo… All of her husband's friends – his companions – were dead, lying in pools of their own blood. It was then that her eyes fell on a smaller body. "No," she gasped. "Gohan!" Chichi screamed as she ran to her fallen son, her sweet 13 year old boy. "Gohan, please," she whispered as she shook the boy's bloodied corpse, her eyes darting wildly in all directions. Her eyes widened as she saw her husband dead. "Somebody, help me!" she screamed, but no one came. "Please, HELP!" she tried again, tears falling down her face as she continued to shake her lifeless son.

"I'll help you," Chichi looked up only to find the one person she hoped to never see again…

"NO!" she screamed as she bolted up from her bed, breathing heavily.

"Chichi!" Goku burst through their bedroom door, ready to strike.

Chichi ran her hand though her long hair, looking around, a look of fear etched on her features. "It was only a dream," she whispered, hugging her knees to her chest. "Only a dream."

"Chichi?" Goku asked, taking a seat beside his wife, a group of men right behind him. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, it sounded like something was hurting you!" Krillin laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

Shaking her head, she turned her frightened eyes to her concerned husband. "I-I'm sorry." She looked to the gang of men. "It was just a bad dream," she looked around again.

Goku kissed her forehead. "Are you sure?" He could feel her; she wasn't fine – something had truly frightened her.

"It was only a dream," she whispered. "I'm fine." Smiling, she wiped away the tears that lingered at the corners of her onyx-colored eyes.

"Alright…" Goku said, not convinced.

"You guys must be hungry," she said, getting up. She quickly jumped back underneath the covers of her bed, however, as she realized she was clad only in a tank top and panties. "Um… Let me change and I'll fix you guys something delicious." The guys nodded as they headed downstairs – all of them, that was, but Goku. Shutting the door, he turned to his wife, who thought he had left with the rest of them.

She sighed. "Only a dream, Chichi." Tears came to her eyes once again. "But what a horrible dream…"

"Chi," Goku placed his arm around his wife, causing her to jump.

"Oh... Goku, I thought you went downstairs?" She tried to wipe away her tears but her efforts were fruitless. "It's nothing, Goku. It's just… Just these silly hormones." Her slender fingers lay gently on her flat stomach. "You know what a mess I was when I was pregnant with Gohan."

Goku couldn't help but smile as he placed his larger hand over hers. "He's gonna be strong," the raven-haired man whispered.

"How do you know? I'm only 8 weeks along." She already knew the answer but asked the question anyway. "Besides – who said it's going to be a he?" She raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow as a smirk graced her lips. "I'd say a girl is just what we need – I've been outnumbered for far too long!"

Goku shook his head, a concerned look on his face. "You really don't need to feed all of us, Chi; I could always go down to the river and catch us a fish." He squeezed her hand slightly. "In addition to your crazy emotions, I also remember how tired you were during your first pregnancy."

Chichi smiled; she loved it when her husband was concerned for her. "I'll be alright," she assured him, kissing his lips ever-so-gently. "Now, go downstairs. I'll be out in a minute."

-15 minutes later-

"You won't have this child!" Chichi screamed, as she wrapped her arms around her tiny belly. "I won't let you!"

The man in front of her smirked, his eyes glowing. "We'll see about that, princess." It was at that moment that a large light flew from the man's open palm and crashed into her hands.

*BANG*

The laughter in the room died as everyone present stared at the large pan that fell to the ground. Hot water was spilling onto the floor, gushing down Chichi's fast-reddening legs.

"Chichi!" Goku and the others yelled but there was no response; the raven-haired woman stood motionless, her eyes wide and her hands on her stomach. Goku ran to her side looking at her fear-filled face.

"Mom!" Gohan yelled, as he noticed his mother's burnt legs. "Dad, we need to get her out of this water – it's boiling!"

Within seconds Goku had his wife sitting on the couch as Gohan tended to her burnt legs. "Chichi, honey?" Goku called to her softly. Her face turned to him slowly. "G-Goku?" she whispered.

Goku nodded. "What happened? Are you alright?" he asked, concerned.

"W-What happened?" she looked around at the group of men, who were now staring at her with increased interest.

"You were taking a pot of boiling water off the stove when bam! It fell to the ground," Yamcha answered as he handed Gohan a white cloth.

"Didn't you feel it? That water was boiling!" Krillin eyed her red legs worriedly. "You burned your legs pretty badly."

Chichi's eyes turned to her injured legs; she remained silent as she watched her son gently wrap the white cloth over the aloe. Tears filled her eyes yet again as an image of the man that had been haunting her consumed her vision.

"Chichi-"

"There was a man," she whispered. Almost subconsciously, everyone gathered around her, leaning in to try and catch her words. "A man… A man from my memories," she added, her eyes looking to her stomach. "He'll come for me."

"Who, Chichi? You're making no sense."

Chichi turned to her husband, pearly moisture still present in her eyes. "He'll kill you." She looked to the group. "All of you… And then he'll kill the baby… And take me." Her fingers tightened around her midriff. "You can't stop him." She cast her eyes down to her hands, which held her stomach protectively. "You can't stop him…"

Okay so like I said this is my first Dragon Ball Z story, so please don't lynch me! I do hope you like it though.
