When the camotion had died down and the doctor had left, Goku and Trunks walked into the med wing to see Gohan. The lights in the room were dimmed and there wasn't any signs of movement either. The suspence and nervousness was clawing at Goku's gut as he and Trunks walked closer to the bed. There Gohan lie, motionless and unconscious with ten stitches in the side of his fore head. Not a sound was heard except for the beeping of the heart monitor and the foot steps from Goku and Trunks. Once they made it to the side of the bed and saw how bad the damage was, Trunks froze right on sight. He turned to Goku with remorse in his eyes.
"I am so, sorry Goku! I honestly believed Gohan knew I was there. I didn't mean it." Trunks continued to apologize.
"Trunks, please." was all Goku could say as he looked down at his unconscious son.
Gohan slumbered peacfully as he recovered from the accident. Goku had taken a seat next to him and held his hand as he contimplated what he should do next. He knew he had to notify his wife about this but, he was stumped as to what to do after that. And he knew what it was going to be like telling his wife, Chichi was going to bitch at him for letting him train instead of studying, letting him spar with Vegeta and Trunks, and a numerous amount of other things that weren't even related to the topic. This is the reason why he hated talking to Chichi about anything important, she spent more time complaining rather than doing something about the problem at hand.
However, Goku knew he had to face the music sooner than later. But for now, He needed to keep an eye on Gohan's condition just in case he awoke. They sat there for almost close to an hour when Bulma came in to check Gohan's vital signs. Goku looked up at her as she checked Gohan's blood pressure and pulse.
"Bulma, is he going to be alright? He isn't in a coma is he?" Goku asked stress and sadness evident in his voice.
"Like the doctor said Goku, we won't know how bad the memory loss is until he regains consciousness and he should be alright. The concussion isn't very bad. Just a bruise on the brain, no bleeding present. However. If the memory loss is too sever I'm concerned that he may flip out when he does regain consciousness. Other than that, he'll have one hell of a headache and that's why I'm giving him some pain killers so it won't be so bothersome. When he does come around, we need to keep an eye on him for sever symptoms of the concussion. Things like bleeding from the ears, nose, and eyes, vomiting, dizziness, or equalibrium off balance. If we see these we need to call the doctor back over here for another examination. The smaller symptoms shouldn't be any problem." She explained.
"Alright, I still need to tell Chichi. I'm still not looking forward to that." Goku sighed in frustration.
"I know but she has to know, she IS his mother after all." Bulma emplied.
Hey, where's Trunks?" Goku asked.
"He went to his room fifteen minutes ago. He felt so bad for Gohan's condition it's like he grounded himself." Bulma stated worriedly.
"I told him I understood it was an accident. I knew he didn't mean it, why is he doing this to himself?" Goku asked in confussion.
"I'm not sure but, give him some time. I'm sure he just needs some time to let it all soak in." Bulma answered as she completed Gohan's vital sign check.
Goku sat there holding Gohan's hand as Bulma documented the vital signs she took from him. Just then, a moan was heard in the room. They both looked down to see Gohan opening up his eyes. Goku and Bulma waited in suspense as he looked around the room. He didn't move from the bed yet but he had a look of fear and dread writen across his face. Goku didn't know what to do, he was so lost and yet he felt like he had to do something to grab his attention.
"Gohan?" Goku whispered gently as Bulma watched in anticipation.
Gohan didn't reconize anyone, he continued to look around the room as if it were a completely new place to him. Everything was so forigen yet, so familiar at the same time to him. Goku tried to get his attention again but this time he gently shook his arm. Gohan didn't even know his own name.
"Gohan? What do you remember?" Goku asked as he awaited his son's answer.
Gohan just looked at Goku in confussion, the fear disappearing from his face little by little. Then Vegeta came through the door and the sudden movement and sound caused Gohan to flip out. He jumped from the bed and hid under the near by table trembling in fear.
"Vegeta!"
"What woman!" Vegeta shouted back.
"Don't make any sudden movements! Gohan doesn't remember anything!" Bulma screamed at him.
"Stop all the damn yelling! You're giving me a migraine!" Vegeta retorted.
Goku knelt down under the table and held his hand out to Gohan. He looked frightened as scooted away from him. Vegeta walked over to the table and grabbed it. He lifted it from the ground revealing a trerroified Gohan underneath. Gohan shrunk into fetal postion and wet himself.
"Pathetic! One blow to the head and he forgets himself!" Vegeta remarks.
"Leave him alone Vegeta, you're scaring him!" Bulma yelled.
"Whatever woman. I have better things to do than watch over a brain dead saiyan." he retorted as he left the room.
"He is NOT brain dead!" Goku yelled.
Vegeta gave a scoff on his way out of the room as Goku continued to try and calm Gohan. He still sat in the same place as he watched Goku and Bulma from the corners of his eyes. He trembled as Goku came closer to him once more. Goku came close enough to Gohan to pick him up. He knelt down and wrapped his arms around him slowly and gently and then lifted him into his arms. Goku didn't pay any mind to the wettness on Gohan's pants he just held him and rubbed his back in a soothing manner. Gohan struggled at first but, slowly he calmed down and begain to purr when he noticed his father rubbing his back. Bulma watched for any more signs of aggression from Gohan just in case she had to sadate him. But fortunatly there was none.
"I'm going to give Gohan a bath, and then I'll call Chichi to tell her what happened." Goku informed as he left the room.
"Alright, just let me know if you see anything strange in his behavior." Bulma replied as she begain to clean up the mess.

Superizingly for not having his memory, Gohan stayed calm for the most part in Goku's arms as he walked into the bathroom and turned on the light. He then sat Gohan on the toilet seat and plugged up the tub before running the water. Gohan watched the water flow from the fauset as he sat on the toliet. He reached out to it touching the running water and jerking back every so often, as if he were afraid it would lurch out to bite him. Goku noticed this and smiled at him as he pulled out some soap and a wash cloth.
"It's just water Gohan, it won't hurt you." He spoke gently.
Gohan didn't say a word, of course he didn't even remember how to speak. He just looked like a lost little puppy, alone and afraid of everything. Goku felt heartbroken to see Gohan in such a state but, he pushed it aside for now to remove his clothes. Taking off his clothes was the easy part but getting Gohan in the tub was quite another. Gohan was in such deep thought that he didn't even notice his clothes being removed, but once they were Goku picked him up. When he tried to lower Gohan into the tub he freaked out and broke into a struggle. All Gohan saw was the water getting closer and closer to him and if scared him. He didn't know what to do as he fought Goku. His movements were a little clumsy due to the head injury.
When Goku noticed this he sat on the toilet seat and held Gohan close to his chest once more to calm him down.
"It's okay Gohan, it's only water. It isn't going to hurt you see?" Goku soothed as he scooped some water out of the tub and splashed it on his arm.
Gohan looked at the wet spot the water left on his arm and then back at the tub. He climbed down from Goku's lap and stumbled to the tub. Goku grabbed him just to make sure he didn't fall and hit his injured head. Once Gohan was stable he squat down next to the tub and stuck his hand in the water. He swished it around as a smile formed on his face. Goku felt a little more at ease when he saw a smile on his son's face. Then a thought just crossed Goku's mind that might put Gohan at ease.
"Hey Gohan." Goku said but Gohan didn't answer, he was too busy playing in the water.
Goku gently grabbed his arm and called his name again.
"Gohan?" he called as Gohan looked up at his father. He pointed at himself with a look of question on his young face.
"Yes buddy, you're Gohan." Goku verified.
Gohan tilted his head to the side and let out another smile. Goku smiled back and picked up a bottle of bubble bath.
"Watch this." He said as he poured the bubble bath in the water and lathered it up.
Gohan watched amazed as the bubbles appeared in the water. Goku took his son's destraction as his que to place him in the tub. And to Goku's luck, Gohan didn't struggle he sat right in calmly and begain playing in the bubbles with a huge smile on his face. Goku laughed as he pulled out a wash cloth and lathered it up with soap and begain washing Gohan's skin. Gohan smiled and relaxed as Goku bathed him.
"There, see no harm done son. Water doesn't hurt." Goku chuckled as he watched him play in the bath.
Once the bath was done, Goku pulled him out of the tub, dried him off, and dressed him with some spare clothes in the cuboard. Goku noticed that Gohan also didn't remember how to walk. He also noticed that he was afraid of everything in his path. This broke his heart, he wasn't use to seeing his son like this. So void of viberance. He picked Gohan up from the toilet seat and carried him into their bedroom across the hall and set him on the bed. Goku sighed as he looked at the clock, it was six o'clock pm. He would have to call his wife after dinner. But as soon as he made that declairation, the phone rang.
