Two days.
Two days of happiness.
Two days of anxiousness.
Two days of fear.
Two days of bliss.
Two days of Father Hood.
The pregnancy was unexpected? No I wouldn't say that. Goku and I didn't bother with any protection. We were both healthy in that department …well I knew I was for sure.
I guess after the wedding I wasn't expecting that we would have a kid so soon.
Not that I not happy or anything! I am happy! I love our son! I wish he would stop crying.
I am just terrified more than happy.
What if he doesn't like me?
Will I be a bad father?
What if he doesn't like my height?
Goke isn't worried at all. And if she is, Goku should be in the movies then.
I guess I can worry for the both of us…because Kami knows from experience that Goku won't take anything seriously.
She didn't even tell me she was pregnant five months into it. I had to guess. I was joking. She thought I knew.
…Maybe I should have come to the conclusion sooner. In hindsight she did eat far more food even for her. So that annoyed me. Which turn into fear about being a father.
And then two weeks ago happen…Oh Kami that was the worse terror I ever faced in my life.
Goku went missing. Just went into the woods in the morning and didn't come back. Normally, I would be calm about the whole thing. Think nothing of it. Maybe be a little worried. But she was Goku. She could handle herself more than anyone.
But she was pregnant and almost due.
And no one could sense her. Not me. Not Tien. Not Yamcha. Not Master Roshi. Not Chi-Chi.
Not even Kami could sense her.
We got so desperate that somehow roped Piccolo to help us in finding Goku…I am not looking forward to the day when he decides to call in the debt.
So this leads me back to the whole two day thing. I actually don't know how long I have been a father.
Because when Goku came back it was two days ago and she had our son in her arms and he looks older then a two day year old…
So I am already a bad father.
We have no idea when our son is born.
…
Fantastic.
This is something he will never find out.
Another thing he will never find out?
He went for two days without a name as his 'Aunt' Chi-Chi just stated, very loudly. Making ever musing in my head go out the window expect the undeniable fact I am a bad father.
But hey I'm not alone in this one. Goku can't come up with name.
I point this out.
She just shrugs, with a large grin on her face.
I glare at Goku. Yeah I am angry at her. I have right to be.
Chi-Chi suggests something that is supposed to be brainy, so he can grow up smart and 'sophisticated', because someone in this group of makeshift fighters needs to be non-violent.
My glare shifts to my wife to my wife's friend. She and I going to butt heads in the future, I just know it.
My son cries get louder.
Master Roshi suggests naming him Roshi Jr…Yeah right.
I am positive that naming a kid Roshi is a good way to get him or her to be a perverted weirdo—with all respect to Master Roshi of course.
My son's screeches get more piercing.
And who invited the OX King? I know he's Chi-Chi's dad and pretty sweet man once you get to know him, but come on. Not even Bulma and Yamcha are over here…Maybe that's a good thing. Bulma might talk Goku into naming our boy Trunks or something.
My son's screams are just a hysterical mess now
I throw out a few names; most of them I knew were girl names, like Marron, but Goku shot them all down.
My son is at that stage where all you can do is hiccup…someone should check on him
So I asked her if she had any ideas.
Goku just sat.
And sat.
And sat.
And sat.
And sat.
And sat!
And finally suggested that naming our son—our son—could wait after dinner!
GOKUUUU!
I let out a shriek worthy of Bulma and glare worthy of Tien as I stood there, with my arms crossed. I love Goku, I do, I really do, but how could she choose food over our baby' name?
Master Roshi is the first to jump on her case and on her lack of manners. He berated her that he knew grandfather had manners, but clearly didn't pass onto Goku. Her response is to agree Gohan, thinking Roshi insulted her grandfather, but she seemed to ignore the insult was directed at her.
It went on like that for a while.
And those two didn't notice Goku's and my son cries turning into happy noises.
Chi-Chi and I did, but not sure why. I assumed it was because Master Roshi was funny old man.
The Ox King however thought it was because Master Roshi said the name that caught the newborn's intention.
Two weeks ago, Goku went off to give birth and leave me in a more panic state than before she left.
She came back two days ago with a nameless baby boy.
Two minutes.
Two minutes of nothing but Gohan.
