Author's Note:

Hi everyone! Thanks for any reviews, followers, favourites, or anything that might have happened since last time I updated. I have two other fanfictions, so if you are enjoying my work, please check out: DBZ: A Whole Nee Enemy and DBZ: Crossroads!

Also… please, please, please don't ask me how Chi-Chi got pregnant. Really don't want to have that conversation.

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or any of the movies or anything. Yup yup!

CHAPTER TWO:

Chi-Chi was sitting mutely in her house, staring down at the table. It was incredibly early in the morning. She had her hair loose and down. It flowed down her shoulders like an onyx river. Her dark eyes stared down at her table, unsure of what to do with herself. It was three in the morning, and Chi-Chi had woken up a couple minutes ago. She already considered this place home, Goku's little house. She looked over at her sleeping fiancée. He was still snoring loudly, and in the small cabin, it was impossible to not hear him. She would organize the plans for him to build another house beside this one, so that they could live comfortably with a kitchen and an actual bathroom. She would include an extra room, just in case, but…

Chi-Chi felt like sobbing, but she managed to choke it back. She had one hand on her abdomen. She couldn't feel the baby moving around quite yet, but she knew it was there. In a couple months, she'd start to show her baby bump. Now, she'd have to start wearing loose clothing so she could hide it, and Goku didn't get suspicious. Nor would anyone else. She smiled lovingly and her stomach, thinking of her baby. Son or daughter, she'd love them. She would always love them. But Chi-Chi wasn't dumb enough to pretend that she could keep the child. If she did, then the creatures with power would kill him just in case he fulfilled some stupid alien prophecy. It just wasn't fair! But it was how things were. Chi-Chi hummed a little lullaby her father and mother had sung to her as a child, leaning back in the chair.

Chi-Chi had gone to Bulma after her freak-out yesterday, and begged the blue-haired woman on her hands and knees to help save her child. Bulma had agreed to make her some sort of device that would suppress her's and her baby's Ki. She had thanked Bulma a million times, but the billionaire just waved it off and said to come see her In a week at six o'clock. Bulma knew it was dangerous to allow the child to live, but she was sure that killing a child was wrong, and she refused to budge on that opinion. She wanted to give Chi-Chi's baby a chance, too. Chi-Chi was going to go to her father's today, and tell him the horrible news. Well, horrible and good. Perhaps she could give the child to her father! No, no. Everyone would wonder where he got the child, and he was terrible at excuses. He wouldn't be able to protect her child when the creatures with power came for him.

She would have to give her child away to some sort of fighter, but who could take him? Krillin? Well, he was nice, and she could see him being a good father, but she was worried about where he lived… with that old pervert, Master Roshi. There was no way her child would be raised THERE. With Bulma? No, they'd look there too. Yamcha? He would not be a good parent. Tien? Hm… perhaps. By how could she get to him to ask? He lived in a remote locations, quite far away. She could see him being a good father, like he was to Chaitzou. (Did I spell that right? Please correct me in a review if I didn't.)

She would have to leave her child. In the forest somewhere. Just long enough so that the creatures with power would stop looking for her child. Until they gave up. But what then? Chi-Chi bit her lip nervously. Goku would be angry with her for keeping their child a secret, and for taking such extreme measures to protect the child. He would certainly tell the creatures with power, and hand his child over. Their child. He would sign their child up for death! Chi-Chi shook her head, ebony hair flying. She would have to raise her child in secret. It would be difficult for both of them, but it was her only option. In this situation, she could only trust people who wouldn't give her away, and Goku was unfortunately one of those people. Chi-Chi glanced at the clock – it had been one hour. She had been siting here, thinking for one hour straight! Chi-Chi simply shook her head slightly and crawled in beside Goku, hugging his chest and putting her cheek on his warm back. He just kept snoring, and she was pretty sure that there was drool coming out of his mouth. Chi-Chi smiled as she fell into a deep, unbroken sleep.

(Three hours later… -7am-)

Goku woke up, blinking as he yawned. He almost jumped at two arms which were holding him to the bed, but then he remembered it was Chi-Chi. He relaxed and gently untangled her arms, tucking her in. Her face was a little red and puffy – she looked like she had been crying. Goku was quite concerned, to say the least. His fiancée had been extremely upset at Kami telling them that they couldn't have a child. He wasn't really sure why she wanted one. Didn't she like him enough? Did girls need another person to like? He didn't know. Girls were weird like that. Goku smiled down at her. He really hoped that she wouldn't do anything drastic. As much as he wanted to make her happy, he wouldn't put her and the world in danger to do so. He just couldn't.

Goku stroked some hair out of her face and watched as she snuggled deeper into the blankets, curling protectively around her middle. Goku smiled, not realizing what it might imply. He turned around and started humming, leaving his little cabin to go take a bath and get some breakfast. He wondered what sort of things Chi-Chi liked to eat. He liked just about everything, but he wasn't sure about Chi-Chi. Bulma liked fish, and she was a girl, so, did that mean that Chi-Chi liked fish too? Probably. Deciding that fish was the best bet, Goku ran down the mountain slope, heading for the pond. He'd fish first, then bathe, so he wouldn't scare the fish away. Goku stripped as he ran, cannon-balling into the water with no shame. He dove in and quickly made work of six huge fish. He poked his head out of the water and looked at the fish, sizing up the amount. He'd probably have to fish again for lunch. He didn't really know how much food Chi-Chi ate.

Bulma never ate as much as him, so maybe Chi-Chi didn't either? Not willing to take any chances, Goku caught six more fish and piled them on the shore. He stayed in the water, just swimming around. He had brought a little bottle of the fluffy yellow stuff called shampoo, and he started scrubbing his hair. Once Goku had put the shampoo all over his body and washed it off, he got out of the water and put his go back on. Goku had a net near this lake for the fish. He piled the fish into the net and started dragging it behind him. He reached the cabin and set he fish down, then quickly ran to the forest to chop down a perfect tree. He drew his fist back and punched the trunk, the tree falling to the ground. Goku dragged it all the way up the mountain slope, waving at the birds and other animals who had been there forever. He dumped the log in front of the house, chopped it all up, and started a fire using his Ki. Goku was soon cooking the fish over the fire, using a tree stump as a table. He set the fish on his makeshift table and sat down, saliva dripping off of his face. He kicked his lips and went inside to check on Chi-Chi.

She was just getting up, rubbing her eyes and blinking softly in the dawn light. She was so pretty. Goku like to just sit there and touch her hair – it was the silkiest thing he had ever touched. She was also so delicate, but such a fighter. She had skinny wrists and tiny legs, and she didn't have any extra fat on her. Goku often wondered how she fought, with such little arms and legs. Her eyes were also really pretty – deep and dark. She had such pretty skin, too. There was no flaw on her skin, and she had such a delicate face. Her skin was also so pale compared to Goku's tanned skin! She didn't have one scar, but she had been in many battles. Goku really, really loved how she looked.

"Hey, Chi-Chi." Goku said. He kneeled down by the bed as she rubbed her eyes and blinked at him. "I made breakfast. Come and eat." he smiled at her, feeling like he was missing something. Goku wasn't sure exactly what, but he knew he wasn't in the loop. Chi-Chi was hiding something from him. He expanded his Ki senses, trying to sense something with Chi-Chi's Ki. He could sense her Ki, but it was weird… it felt all, motherly. And there was a small, pulsing ki alongside her's. It was weird. He had never sensed something like this before. The second Ki was weak, but it pulsed with inner power that scared Goku. He continued to sense the second Ki, and found that it had a happy, loving sense to it. Like it just loved the world, and had no hatred for anyone. It was full of compassion and complete trust, which made Goku relax. Soon, which wondered where the Ki was coming from. Goku decided it was just a mouse that was near the bed, and helped Chi-Chi get up to go eat breakfast.

"Thank you, Goku." Chi-Chi smiled at her husband and kissed him on the cheek as they walked outside, hand-in-hand. Goku blushed and scratched the back of his head with his free hand, laughing. He eagerly sat Chi-Chi down and presented the fish he had made. He couldn't cook in a kitchen, but he sure knew how to grill a fish over an open fire. Strangely, it was one of the only cooking things that Goku actually did correctly. "Say, Goku?" Chi-Chi asked as Goku put a big piece of fish on her plate. He raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what she wanted. "I was thinking, that now we've moved in together, we should get a bigger house." Chi-Chi announced. "So we can have an actual bathroom and kitchen, and maybe a guest bedroom for when my Dad comes over, and maybe for an… adopted child." Chi-Chi said.

"How would we build a house?" Goku questioned, scratching the back of his head. "Maybe go and ask Bulma if she has a capsule house? Those would work fine." However, Goku made a face. He didn't really like the capsule houses, as they were small and cramped and didn't feel like home at all. They were all white and filled with that disgusting stuff called coffee. Also, they had weird people doing weird things in boxes, (Bulma called it TV.) and there wasn't enough food!

"No, silly, we would build our own." Chi-Chi giggled, shaking her head at her fiancée. "We would use trees from around here to build it, and then you could fly us on your Nimbus to the stores, and we could buy some appliances and metal there to use. I would draw up all the plans and manage everything. Your job is to just do what I tell you to do, okay?" Chi-Chi smiled even wider when Goku nodded. Goku? He was just happy that Chi-Chi was happy. He hadn't really seen the big deal about a child, but it looked like she was feeling better. And that was all that mattered. Goku was so caught up in making Chi-Chi happy that he didn't even sense that small, weak Ki that was always around Chi-Chi's belly, grow stronger.

airow17: Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm pretty excited too.

daisukigohan: Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I definitely will continue this. I'm pretty excited myself!

squichi: Thanks for reviewing! So, Chi-Chi is going to get Bulma to make her a device that will mask the Ki of the baby, so they can't sense it that way. She will start to go on week long vacations to see her Dad (alone) every so often, and increase the amount of time she's gone each time so Goku and the Kais believe that she's acting normally. Like, it's a routine they get used to. She's then going to deliver her baby at her Dad's, give her kid the device to mask his Ki, and then she's going to hide him in the woods while Kami goes to Goku's house and tells him that the child has been born. Chi-Chi hides Gohan, and then they find her at the Ox King's. She lies her way through. Also, she starts wearing very baggy clothing that will hide her baby bump. Another routine, not suspicious. Piccolo's thoughts are connected to Kami's, and he learns about the kid. He sees Chi-Chi write a note, stick it with the kid, then boot it out of there. Piccolo can sense Gohan's Ki and decides to raise Gohan to a) Screw Kami over, and b) Use Gohan's power. Obviously, the kid changes his life forever. That's basically all your questions in a nutshell. I'm glad you're enjoying it! I feel like my work gets better and better every time I post a new story. A Whole New Enemy is okay, lack of description. Crossroads is better, and Youngest Among Us is better than Crossroads!
