*Chapter 1*

~Two Years Later~

It was a beautiful day in a mountain village, Chichi was in the kitchen washing dishes, when a little hyper active saiyan girl came rushing in. "Granma he's back! Daddy's coming back! Daddy's coming back!" the six year old shouted jumping up and down in excitement as she clutched onto her grandmother's dress.

Chichi heart started beating with joy her son was coming home, "Are you sure Panny?" asked Chichi. "Yes I can sense his ki and he's heading here, he's coming home granma! Daddy's coming home!"

Chichi had tears of joy in her eyes as she picked up Pan in her arms, "Common Panny we're going make your daddy his favorite meal." Today was going a special day for the both of them.

Meanwhile at Capsule Corp:

"But Gohan, why do you have to go? Why can't you stay here with me and my mom?" The ten year old boy with lavender hair asked his sensei. Gohan bent down to Trunks' eye level,

"Trunks you know I love being here with you and Bulma, but I have to be with my family too, I miss my mother and daughter and I want to see them." Trunks would never admit it out loud but he was jealous of Gohan's daughter, Gohan had always been his friend and had been the father figure in his life, since he never knew his own father.

"Train hard while I'm gone buddy and I'll be back," Gohan told him.

"You promise?" Trunks asked.

"Of course, you're still my pupil," Gohan said ruffling Trunks' hair.

He hugged Bulma goodbye, and called for the Nimbus cloud.

"Tell Chichi I send my love!" Bulma shouted as he took off.

Chichi was working double time at the stove, if she knew her son she knew he took after his father when it came to his appetite. She was going make him all his favorites. Pan was sitting at the kitchen table swinging her legs back and forth waiting patiently for her father's return.

It had been almost been a year since Chichi and Pan had seen Gohan; he was determined to beat the androids and finally bring peace to the earth. He had been training Vegeta's son Trunks for two years now, he would come home every now and again to visit his family.

Pan felt her father's energy and ran outside to meet him. She saw him in the distance riding on nimbus; she couldn't contain her excitement her daddy was finally home. Gohan saw Pan flying up to meet him; he stretched out his arms ready to embrace his daughter.

Pan flew into his embrace and started chattering like there was no tomorrow, "Daddy! You're back, are you staying for good? Did you defeat the androids? She asked him question after question.

He just laughed and answered her questions as best as he could.

"Gohan, my baby! I'm so happy you're back," Chichi said hugging her son.

"It's good to be home mom; mmm something smells good what-cha cooking?"

"All your favorites, I hope you're hungry I made plenty," she said smiling.

"You know I can never refuse your cooking mom," he said as he put Pan on his shoulder and they all went inside to catch up on things.

"I'm so glad Bulma's doing well, at least she has Trunks," Chichi said taking sip of her tea.

"He's a strong boy that one," Gohan told his mother, "I see him becoming a super saiyan soon."

Gohan and Chichi talked for hours till Pan started getting sleepy, "Oh looks like someone's ready for bed," Gohan said picking up Pan from the couch.

"Daddy will tell me a story?" Pan asked after Gohan tucked her in.

Gohan smiled and sat on the edge of her bed, "Sure darling, what would you like to hear?"

"You haven't finish telling me the story of you going to planet Namek with Krillin," Pan told him.

"Oh, hmm, let's see where were we in that story, oh yes I remember. Okay so I had a dragonball and was about to bring it to Bulma when I felt someone coming, it wasn't Krillin and wasn't Bulma so I hid behind a big rock hoping whoever was passing by would leave. But the person felt me and demanded I show myself. So I hid the dragonball and came out of hiding to meet face to face with the saiyan Vegeta," Gohan said dramatically.

"Oh no, not Vegeta!" Pan said hiding a little under the covers.

"Yes it was Vegeta and he was after the dragonballs, luckily he didn't find the dragonball I had and left," Gohan kept tell her the story of his journey to Namek till she fell asleep.

"Goodnight my little Panda, I love you baby girl," Gohan whispered kissing his daughter on the cheek and quietly walking out of her room.

He went into the living room where his mother was sitting in her rocking chair and staring at framed photograph.

"You thinking about dad?" Gohan asked her sitting the couch.

Chichi nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I miss him so much; you and Panny are all I have left in the world, if I lost anyone of you…" Chichi sobbed.

"Mom don't worry that's not going to happen," Gohan told her.

"But you don't know that. You're always out there challenging those demons, I'm afraid for your life Gohan; I lost my husband I can't lose my baby too."

Gohan sighed, "I know you worry for me mom, but I'm doing this for you and Pan, to keep you both safe and I just can't stand around and watch innocent people die at the hands of those monsters," Gohan told her.

Chichi shook her head and blew her nose, "Oh why do you have to be so much like your father? He always put others before himself and thought it was his duty to protect the lives of others," Chichi sighed and smiled at the memories of Goku, "But that's what I love about your father and one of the reason I fell in love with him."

"I miss him too mom and I wish he was here right now," Gohan sighed, "Do you think if he was still alive he would have defeated the androids?" Gohan asked.

"I have no doubt in my mind that your father would have put those hunks of junk in their place if he was alive, if it hadn't been for stupid heart virus," Chichi said looking at the photograph of Goku, herself and Gohan at seven. The photograph was taken a few months before Raditz landed on earth.

Chichi started giggling, "He would have loved Panny to pieces."

Gohan chuckled; his father would have been the best grandfather around.

Gohan had always pride himself to the best father that he could be for Pan like his own father was. He made a promise to Videl that he would protect their daughter from those monsters and he intended to keep that promise for as long as he could.

The next day Gohan was outside teaching Pan a few ki techniques.

Wow good job baby! You made your own technique, what are you going to call it?" Gohan asked her.

Pan put hand to her chin thinking real hard, "Fire Starter Attack," Pan said grinning.

Gohan smiled, she had learned so much in such a short time.

"Daddy I'm going to be a super saiyan just like you!" Pan said smiling.

"Hmm, we'll have to see about that Panny. It takes a lot hard work and effort to become a super saiyan," Gohan told her. He had no doubt in his mind that she would one day become a super saiyan though.

They spent the whole day sparring till Chichi called them for supper.

"Daddy are you going to finish the story?" Pan asked after Gohan tucked her into bed.

Gohan smiled, "Sure Pan, where were we?"

"We were at the part where that ugly Freezia jerk killed Krillin and grandpa got really mad and turn into a super saiyan! Becoming the first super saiyan ever!" Pan said enthusiastically.

Gohan smiled at her, "Okay yes grandpa did become the first super saiyan ever and it was amazing! Freezia was scared out of his mind because grandpa had done the impossible. I wasn't there for battle so I'm telling what grandpa told me, grandpa fought Freezia and was winning till Freezia powered up to hundred present," Gohan told her going on from earth's dragonballs reviving everyone that was either killed by Freezia or his men and then with the Namekian dragonballs Dende wished for everyone on Namek but Goku and Freezia to be wish on earth.

"Grandpa had beat Freezia but gave him a portion of his own energy to Freezia as a second chance to change. Grandpa was about to find a ship to leave in when Freezia tried to attack him. Grandpa shot an energy blast at Freezia and flew off to find a ship, he found Freezia space ship but couldn't get it to work. That's when one of the Ginyu force's space pods passed by and grandpa got into the pod. He got off the planet in time while all of us back on earth thought he had died. Grandpa had no idea where the pod was taking him, after what seemed like forever, he crashed landed on the planet Yardrat."

Gohan tucked the covers under Pan and turned on her nightlight, "Sweet dreams my little Panda bear, I'll see you in the morning. I love you," Gohan told her giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Pan giggled and kissed him back, "Good night daddy, I love you too."

Gohan sighed as he looked at the stars, he was sitting on the rooftop.

"Videl I wish you could see our baby girl and how much she has grown up, she so beautiful just like you," Gohan closed his eyes and smiled at the memories flooding his mind of Videl and the life they had shared together.

Yep definitely better than my previous one
