Chapter 2 – Acquaintance /From forgotten to being together again

Chichi woke up by the low clack of Goku's shoes as he jump up from his little cloud – which was called Nimbus as Chichi got to know. He still held her in her hands and smiled to her as he saw how she analyzed her surrounding with a sleepy look on her face.

"Awake sleepyhead?" He asked her cheeky before he set her on her feet. She just looked at him with eyes which were ready to slap him, but instead she only hmphed at him and looked again over to the little sweet house that was standing in the middle of the wilderness. Cute! She thought as she took a few steps – still barefoot and in her orange pyjamas. Orange? Since when?

She looked down on her and noticed a pretty long sleeveless orange shirt over her normal white one. Just when did she get that? She pulled on it as she tried to circle her upper body with only her head to look at it. It was big, and on its back stood the character for turtle in a round black circle. That is not mine. She said to herself as she looked to the man beside her who – now – wore only a black muscle shirt. And boy, he didn't need the shirt to show of is muscular body.

"Is this yours?" She asked him, still pulling on the shirt. He grinned.

"Yeah! You were freezing so I thought it would keep you warm."

"Oh, that was….nice. Thank you…." Chichi slowly answered and blushed – but only lightly as she didn't want to imagine if he really only had put it on her or if he had looked too closely at her body. Especially the upper body, as he said he loved the bite mark around her left…I almost forgot that! She shrieked in her head but was pulled back into reality as Goku asked her "You remember our house?" She closely looked at everything before she answered.

"I don't know." She said, gazing at the little round building and at the big round bathtub in front of the door. An outdoor bathtub! She recognized stunned. Seems romantic…

Goku crossed his arms and looked a bit sullen as she really didn't look like she memorized anything at all.

"Too bad." He said but suddenly smiled again. "Let's go inside! Maybe you remember something there! And don't forget Gohan, I'm sure he is going to be happy to see his mommy again!"

"I'm still supposed to have a son?" Chichi asked very silent as she didn't want to lose hope. She really wanted to believe she was a virgin. Think about it! You are a virgin and you don't even remember the moment you lost it? That's pretty frustrating! She uttered angrily in her head.

Goku frowned at her question. What did she mean by 'supposed'?

"Why shouldn't you?"

"BecauseIamavirgin…?" She muttered quietly and hoped he didn't understand everything and would drop the topic. But as she noticed he had very good ears.

"That's strange." He wondered. "You said you would lose this status when I would make this weird training section with you in bed that night after our marriage. Well, you looked scared as we did it but you didn't want to stop. But then I even injured you without noticing! The bed was bloody the next day…Does that mean the training wasn't successful?"

Chichi's jaw was on the floor. She was near tears and absolutely down as she assured him that everything just went fine – although she couldn't remember a damn single thing!

"So you are not a virgin anymore?" He asked again. "You sure?" He really is a bit dump, isn't he?

"I'm sure. Being a virgin means you never had this training section in bed – as you called it. But I had it, and the proof therefore is the blood. And when you say I – we – have a son then the training was more then just successful." She dropped her head in defeat. And I don't even remember having the baby or those nine months before. She pitied herself. Stupid amnesia! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"Well, let's go inside! And don't be angry, it looks a bit messy…" Goku said before he entered the house and yelled "I'm home!"

As he walked inside, knowing his goal in the house, Chichi stood in the doorframe and looked inside. The house looked disastrous! Clothes were lying on the ground; foot steps made of mud were going up the stairs and ending in a bunch of toys. Oh my goodness…It looks more than just messy. As if a bomb exploded in here!

Chichi took some steps, very careful not to step into something she didn't want to have in her bare and sensitive foot, like those blue boxers which were lying in every possible corner. And what was that smell? She held her nose as she looked into the bathroom and saw this horrible smelling hill of diapers. Oh god…

Still with her gaze fixed on this chaos she heard a high giggle and the refreshing laugh of Goku as he said "Hello, little man! How have you been? Were you sleeping nicely while daddy was gone?" The answer to his question was a high pitched laugh and a baby which babbled lively as if it wanted to say simply yes. And something ringed in Chichi's ears as she heard the little child being excited. Like in trance she walked to the room from where those sounds were coming. She looked inside and watched how Goku held this little baby up to the air with his hands smiling at him, and the baby smiling back at him, shaking with his little hands and feet in joy, even his tail was twitching. Wait a moment! What in the world is that thing? She was paralyzed.She didn't say anything but just stared.

As Goku noticed her he took Gohan on his arm and walked over to Chichi, smiling at her as if he wanted to encourage her. The little boy was holding with one hand the shirt of his father as he turned his head and looked with big black eyes to Chichi, his right thumb into his mouth, his tail going from right to left.

It really is his, isn't it? But why do I think it's cute? It should be gross, shouldn't it? But he really is adorable…

It was absolutely silent as Chichi and Gohan looked at each other as if they wanted to be sure it was the right person in front of them. And then, Gohan screamed out of happiness and reached with both of his hands for Chichi who suddenly had tears in her eyes and didn't even notice as they were rolling down her cheeks. She didn't care that he had a tail that looked like that of a monkey, he was just too sweet!

Goku had a warm look in his eyes as he asked her "You want to hold him?" And Chichi simply could nod before she felt the little bundle on her chest, squeezing her arm pretty hard. She smiled down at him as she said "Hello, little man! How are you?" Gohan smiled a toothless smile at her before he snuggled his head into her neck and closed his eyes – again with his thump inside of his mouth, his tail circled her arm that was holding him.

"It – it seems as if he likes me?" She asked with a shaky voice and earned a confused look from Goku.

"Of course he does. You are his mother after all."

Chichi looked again at the little boy and new tears started to crawl down her face.

"What is it?" Goku asked before he brushed over his son's head. He thought she was crying out of happiness because she had her only son back into her arms.

Chichi sniffed before she rubbed her face unladylike with her sleeve, making her face even redder than it was.

"I'm bad." She said as she looked into the eyes of Goku who now really didn't have a clue what she was talking about.

"Why?" He asked like a little child who didn't get the forms of "day and night".

"Because I don't remember him at all! Look at him! He is happy clinging to me and I don't know what I should do! Even my hands are trembling because I still think I…" She stopped.

"You what?" Goku questioned her. Man, she was more complicated today than ever!

"Because I still feel I'm not his mother." She said quietly. "I'm not his mother, Goku."

He looked to Gohan with sad eyes before he smiled again down to her. Chichi was surprised that he even was capable of showing such an expression. Upset and hurt.

"Don't push yourself too hard!" He explained as he took Gohan and laid the sleeping boy back into his crib. "You only arrived and you just got a lot of information you have to understand." He scratched his head, thinking what to do next. "How about I show you the house first?" Chichi sniffed again before she tried a smile and said "But before that could we clean up a bit? I don't think I'm going to remember much if everything is covered in garbage."

Goku started to sweat. "Oh…well…that might be possible….afterwards."

"What do you mean afterwards?"

"Well, you know. The household thing was your thing and mine was…" He rubbed his neck and looked away.

"What?" Chichi asked annoyed. Did he want her to say she had to clean up alone? How could she possibly do that? She didn't know what belonged to where!

"How could I tidy up this mess? I am momentarily only a guest, aren't I? Since when does the guest have to clean up?"

"But, Chi, honey…"

"I don't think you can call me that!" She tried to adjourn him but he didn't hear.

"Chi, I don't know how to clean up in here either, because you were doing everything. I don't know what belongs to where!" Hey, that's my line, mister!

"Well, how should I know? I just lost my fucking memory!" She hissed and both earned a cry from the now very awake Gohan. Goku turned and lifted up the little boy who cried and screamed loudly. He tried to calm down and held him high, saying "Don't cry, little man! Mommy and daddy didn't want to wake you up." He looked helpless and distressed as he comforted the child. Chichi felt horrible. She saw the boy crying and didn't know what she could do to help. She stood there like a frozen statue and watched how Goku did his best. And he really did his best; he made grimaces and lifted Gohan up into the air trying to make him smile but nothing worked. At the end he sat down, the crying Gohan on his lap and sighed in defeat before he turned his head and looked at the dragonball over the fireplace. He grabbed him and showed it to the crying boy saying "You want to play with that, Gohan?" And the little man looked up, sniffing and rubbing his eyes before he touched with both his little hands the round thing and smiled at it before he played wildly with it. Chichi frowned at the reaction.

"Why does he like this dragonball so much?" She asked. Goku looked up, Gohan still on his lap.

"Well, that was the dragonball of my grandfather Son Gohan."

"Son Gohan? But that means that…"

"Yes! Gohan has the same name because he liked this ball from the very first beginning." He smiled and looked down at his son. "You know, when we tried to decide on a name we didn't had a clue how we should name him. It was pretty disastrous. We were even fighting that day, because he didn't like any name you tried to give him."

Chichi tried to look angry but couldn't manage it. She just had to smile a little, sadly, because she couldn't remember. Goku continued.

"But than he saw the dragonball and stopped crying. And as I said the name "Gohan" he smiled brightly, so we decided to call him Gohan." His gaze walked over to her and warmness radiated from it. "That day you told me you were my family and I needn't to be alone anymore. And I think those words meant pretty much to me, because I only had my grandpa as family. But now I have Gohan…" He brushed over the little one's hair. "And you." He looked into her eyes.

Chichi sighed in defeat. "Alright. I'm going to clean up in here…But before that I would like to change. Are there any clothes for me?"

Goku looked perplexed. Did Chichi give up right now? That was a first! He shook his head before he answered "Eh…yes. In the bedroom, up the stairs, left door."

Chichi nodded and made her way through the mountains of dirt and clothes and more dirt.

So this is our bedroom. She opened the door and froze seconds after that. Wait, when I say "our" than I admit he is my husband? I still don't want to cross that line! Chichi thought as she stood inside the room and watched trough the closet only to find her favourite blue Chinese outfit, with the red pant underneath. Good to know that this really is my closet. She changed into it, took a hair-band and bound her black mass into a ponytail before she looked again to the bed. And blushed intensely. But this is supposed to be our bedroom? Ah! I said it again!

That was the place she did it! That was the room she saw when she woke up after it! That was the bed she lost her virginity with him and that was the bed in which she was lying with him, seeing how he slept and how he possibly caressed her every night…Stop thinking or you will get a nosebleed! She scolded herself before she turned around and started to clean up this mess of a house while Goku kept Gohan happy and smiling.

I have no idea with what I should start at all! The kitchen looks like a warfield…the bathroom smells like a clarification plant, the living room is an ocean of toys, the laundry e is a bunch of sweaty clothes and the bedroom is the last room I want to return to! She heard the joyful laugh of Gohan and sighed as Goku laughed too.

I think I'm going to start in the kitchen…

And boy it was hell cleaning up this whole mess! She didn't know where the most things had their usual places so she decided to redecorate a bit, more or less. To be specific, she turned everything upside down. But at the end she was satisfied with the result and smiled at her work before she left the kitchen and went into the bathroom. Into this horrible stinking room, that blew her nose up. She had the feeling her nose was melting into nothingness and she somehow wished it was so. But unfortunately she had to tolerate the smell until the end. She was sweating and muttering like crazy, badmouthing her situation and that she as a princess had to clean up in an unknown place. Unkown at the moment, but still… She looked inside the living room as she didn't hear any more giggles and smiled at the sight: Father and son snoring sweetly, feeling absolutely safe and sound. She shook her head as a sudden image rushed through her mind and blushed a deep red before she turned and took the laundry. What was that just now? Am I going crazy already? What was that picture before my eyes? It was somehow sweet and nostalgic… She slapped her cheeks as she watched how the clothes rotated inside the washing machine. As if I would snuggle myself onto his chest, his arm around my waist and the baby protected from both our bodies, all of us smiling and sleeping happily. Probably…She sighed. Not! Let's finish this and than take a bath!

Chichi took the laundry and started to peg out washing, sighing as she finally finished everything – aside from the living room as she didn't want to wake up those two sleepyheads.

Without noticing that Goku was already awake scratching his head she undressed and slipped inside the shower as the only bathtub they had was that outdoor thing.

As the water brushed over her body and face she closed her eyes and sighed as she pouted a bit. She felt restless, helpless and lonely. She had absolutely no idea how she should restore her memory at all! What would be if she didn't remember anything at all? Would she be delighted or sad because she knew she would lose some of her past completely? She remembered the image she had before and a sudden impact run trough her heart and her hand touched her chest unintentionally. It seems like my heart remembers more than my head. She smiled as she stepped out of the shower and looked inside the mirror after with one movement she removed the milky carpet over it. What is that? She leaned over to have a better look. Don't tell me this is my b-b-bite m-mark? She saw two little marks around the centre of her left breast and remembered the toothless smile of Gohan. How did this happen? He didn't have teeth when he smiled at me. Just like a v-v-vampire… Her face became white. I'm going to pass out…

"Chi?" She heard behind her before she turned around and looked into Goku's worried eyes. "Everything alright?" He asked but Chichi couldn't respond. Her world became dizzy before she collapsed right into his arms. I'm not sure if I even want to remember anymore…

A cold feeling woke her up again and a comfortable warm touch on her cheek made her open her eyes. Goku looked concerned to her but smiled again as she recognized him.

"What happened?"

"You collapsed in the bathroom. Maybe you showered too hot? You should be more careful, you just got out of hospital."

"I see." Was the only thing she could say before she sat up and held her head. Man she had a headache! And I had a weird dream too…

"You need something?" He asked her again. She really didn't look good. "You look pale." He touched her forehead with his to measure her temperature. Chichi looked confused and blushed as his face was pretty close to hers. Somehow similar to my dream just now… But I don't remember the details. Maybe if I ki-

"You don't have a fever." He frowned. What was I thinking just now?

"Oh!" He punched a little into his hand as if he had a sudden idea. "Maybe you're hungry! Wait here I'm going to make you something!" And without another word he left her alone again. She smiled as she saw how he tried to make it as comfortable for her as he could. Maybe I understand the part of me that I lost. I would fall in love with him too if he always was like this.

Then she remembered the reason why she really collapsed in the first place. Chichi thought about the boy biting her with his – what? With his unnoticeable teeth? He wasn't a vampire. He was too cute for that and why should he be one when even his father didn't look like one? Maybe a reason more why I should try to remember something?

Chichi smelled something burn as she stood up and looked outside the window. Goku sat on the gras and smiled up at her as he noticed her standing there.

"What are you doing?" Chichi asked confused.

"Barbecue!" He chirped happily and held some roasted meat up. "Come down, it's almost finished!"

"Isn't it too late for that?" Chichi said as she watched how the sun slowly disappeared behind the green hills, colouring the world in a warm orange.

"It's never too late to eat something! And we did this a lot before!" So we did, eh? Sounds mushy to me, but somehow romantic too.

She smiled before she breathed out and looked down again. "Goku?" Her voice shook as she said his name for the first time.

"Hmm?"

"I'm happy I got to meet you. So…" She bowed her head in a formally way. "Please take care of me until I can properly remember you again."

Hello again! I wrote the second chapter especially for you! Thank you sooo much for reviewing! I wanted to finish this one before Christmas, as a present =)

And now I would like to give you my thanks!!

First up JaneBlack: I'm happy that you like my stories! And I'm very very grateful that you keep reading them! I already have a new idea in mind but before I can start with her I have to finish the rest =) I'm good at starting but bad at ending something, so it may take awhile for me to finally finish any of both of my stories. You have to be patient!^^ (I like the time between DB and DBZ best!! There is so much room for one's fantasy!)

Angel Chi: I thought it would be quite interesting to let her forget especially him because she always always always was loyal to him, never left him, never loved another, never lost her faith in him. It's somehow like a miracle that someone can be this attached to someone! And I wanted to know what it would feel like if this "attachment" was gone. How would they rebuild what they had when there was no anchor to begin with? A zero point, isn't it? But interesting!! And thank you for you help! I like the way you write "Mt Paozu" better, as mine was wrong from the beginning! =)

DBZlover: Bulma a reason for Chichi's accident?? Never thought about that….Good idea!! No, the reason for her memory loss is not that grave…just a little surprise. I wanted to concentrate on the feelings between those two! Why should he be afraid? He is a simple thinker. "Marrying" means she has to live with him forever, as he got to know. So when she can't remember him; he just needs to introduce himself once again, doesn't he? She still is his wife, so nothing bad can happen – in his fantasy.

That's it from my side!

Have a happy Christmas, and a happy new year! Stay healthy!!

Bye!!!
