Far from Perfect
Chapter 3

" Wahhhhhh," cried Goten. " Grr, how am I supposed to sleep, if he won't be quiet. Just for one night," Gohan whined as he threw a pillow over his head, and waited for his mother to calm Goten down.

It was a month after Goten's birth, and Gohan and Chi - Chi hadn't been sleeping the best as of late. Goten would cry almost every hour wanting food. Only a month old, and already acting like a sayian. Chi - Chi, had had her doctor remove Goten's tail. So although he didn't look like a sayian anymore, unfortunately he was definately still acting like one.

Gohan waited a further five minutes for his mum to quiet Goten down, but still he kept crying. So finally having enough of this crying at 1:00 in the morning, he stumbled up out of bed to see what the problem was. He walked past his mothers room, and found her sound asleep.

' How on earth can she be asleep? I'm a deep sleeper, and he woke me up. Oh well, I guess I'll see if I can calm him down. Then maybe, just maybe I can get some sleep' thought Gohan.

Gohan knew very well, that he wasn't going to get any sleep, or not much anyway, but he could always wish for it to happen. He walked into Goten's room, and found Goten laying in his cot, screaming his lungs out.

" It's okay Goten, I'm here now," Gohan reassured his baby brother. "Wahhhh," Goten replied. " Um, okay. So talking out his problems didn't work, never mind, on to plan B," Gohan said to himself more than Goten.

Gohan leaned over the crib, and picked up Goten. He was quite heavy for a baby, not fat or chubby, just heavy. It was like he was born with muscles, maybe he was, he was half sayian after all.

Gohan walked into the kitchen carrying Goten. He had calmed down now, not completely, but definitely an improvement. Gohan boiled the kettle, and began to talk to Goten in an attempt to calm him down. It worked a little, but only slightly. He turned of the kettle just before the milk boiled, to make sure he didn't wake up his mother.

By the time Gohan let the milk cool and put it in a bottle for Goten, he had calmed down almost completely. This of course made Gohan one happy camper. Goten was quite contempt with his milk, so Gohan sat down for a minute and relaxed.

*******************8:00am**************************************

" Gohan. Gohan, honey wake up," Chi - Chi said.

" Huh, what is it?" Gohan asked sleepily.

" Did you look after Goten the whole night?" She asked.

Gohan looked down at the bundle in his arms, and saw his brother fast asleep.

" I guess so, you were fast asleep and Goten started crying. I didn't want to wake you, so I calmed him down instead," Gohan explained.

"Wow, even I can't get him to sleep more than 5 hours straight. How did you get him to go to sleep?" Chi - Chi asked.

" I just gave him some milk and he went quiet, so I sat down, and I guess I fell asleep," Gohan answered as he stood up and handed Goten to his mum.

Chi - Chi walked back to Goten's room, and put Goten back in his crib. Better make good use of the opportunity when you can. She knew he wouldn't be asleep for much longer, every sayian has a built in eat o'clock alarm after all.

Gohan was upstairs getting changed out of his pyjamas, into his training gi. He knew his mother wouldn't allow him wearing only boxers at the breakfast table. He was in a good mood this morning, happy about receiving a few hours rest. He couldn't help feel that something was going to go wrong though, and what worried Gohan was that from experience, these feelings tend to be right.

So both Gohan and Chi-Chi headed down stairs, to make and eat breakfast. By the time breakfast was ready Goten was screaming in his room, wanting his own breakfast. He ate normal food, not baby food, because he just never quite got full and he didn't seem to mind their food.

" Go get him will you dear?" Chi-Chi asked.

" Sure mum," Gohan replied as he ran upstairs to get Goten.

It only took him a matter of seconds, and both Sons were ready for their breakfast.

" So Gohan, what are you doing today?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I was going to head over to Capsule Corp and train with Vegeta. Bulma asked me if I could help her with one of her new products too, so I figured I may aswell do that while I'm over there," Gohan explained.

" Okay, helping Bulma sounds educational so that sounds good. I don't want you to stay training with that awful man for too long though got it?" Chi- Chi replied

" Yes, mum," He replied as he finished his last pancake in a record time of 0.01 seconds.

"Good, be home by 7:00pm at the latest okay," Chi-Chi replied.

"Got it, well I better get going. See ya," Gohan said as he ran out the door.

_____________________________________________________________

Gohan arrived at Capsule Corp not much later, and casually walked in the door. Just as he walked in, he saw Trunks on the floor, playing with his toys. Trunks's 2nd birthday was coming up next month. Bulma was planning a big party for it, Gohan didn't see much point though, I mean he doesn't even know it's his birthday so why make it all big and fancy.

"Hi Trunks, how are you doing?" Gohan asked Trunks.

"Gohan," Trunks stated in his babyish voice as he pointed at Gohan.

"I'm very well too thanks," Gohan replied.

"Oh hi Gohan, I didn't hear you come in," Bulma said as she came around the corner.

"Yeah, I just got here. You said you needed my help with something?" Gohan asked.

"Well, I'm making a new type of capsule, and I can't quite get it right, so I thought you might be able to help," Bulma explained

"Yeah sure, I was just having a very in-depth conversation with Trunks here," Gohan replied.

"I'm sure, hows Goten doing by the way?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah he's fine, lovely working lungs," Gohan answered.

"I bet. I take it he likes to wake you and Chi-Chi up for midnight snacks," Bulma said.

"Oh yeah, so explain to me what you've got planned for the new capsule," Gohan stated.

" Right, come into my lab and I'll explain it all," Bulma instructed.

Bulma and Gohan were down in the lab for several hours, discussing calculations, designs and a whole bunch of science related things that nobody but them could ever understand.

They were finished 5 hours later. They had a design and all calculations seemed to be in order. It took a while, but in both people's minds it was worth it.

"Yay, we're finally finished!" announced Gohan.

"Yeah thanks for the help," Bulma said.

"Gosh, I didn't really do anything," Gohan replied.

"Of course you did, I couldn't have done it without you. I was wondering, you're too young to legally work for us, but I would love if when you come over to train with Vegeta you would help me with designs and stuff?" Bulma explained, "Maybe when you're older I can get you a good job here, that is if you want."

"Yeah, I'd like that, and I know mum will," Gohan said.

" Alright, well I know you've been waiting all day, so go beat my husband into a pulp. He's in the GR," Bulma stated.

"Thanks, and I'll hold you to getting me a job," Gohan replied as he ran to the GR.

Gohan didn't waste any time in getting started with training. He *accidentally* forgot to let Vegeta know he was in the room, before he attacked. This in turn resulted in Vegeta slamming straight into a wall.

"Grr, BRAT, I'll get you for that," yelled Vegeta.

"Whatever Vegeta," Gohan casually replied as he got into a fighting stance.

With that both sayians attacked, and an all out war between them began. Vegeta was becoming stronger by the day, although he didn't compare to Gohan, having not yet reached the SS2 stage. He was working on it though and at normal level Gohan was only slightly stronger. Gohan's speed giving him the advantage.

Gohan had also approved in his training. Both his speed and strength were increasing, and he was learning how to control his power more and more. Gohan still had difficulties bringing out his power, but when it was out he had full control.

Gohan and Vegeta were fighting for hours in the SS1 stage, both giving it their all, while taunting and teasing the other. Eventually growing tired of the neverending battle, Gohan decided to turn it up a notch.

Advancing to the second level, Gohan punched Vegeta flat on the nose, sending him to the other side of the room. Just as he was getting back to his feet, Gohan flew at him top speed, and attacked in a flurry of punches and kicks, overwhelming his opponent and sending him to the other end of the GR unable to move.

"Looks like I win again Vegeta," bragged Gohan.

"I was letting you win brat, and you know it. It's not nice to bully a third class such as yourself," Vegeta replied.

"Whatever Vegeta, I've gotta go, I told mum I'd be back by now. See ya tomorrow," Gohan replied as he ran out the room.

"I'll beat you one day brat, you and you baka father," Vegeta whispered to himself.

_____________________________________________________________

Gohan flew straight home after leaving the GR, it was already 6:40pm, and he had to be home soon, his mother would be waiting. He landed out the front of the house not much later and walked to the front door.

"Mum, I'm home!" he yelled as he walked inside.

He didn't get a reply, so he walked into the kitchen. She wasn't there either.

"Mum? Hello?" he continued.

"Hey, what's this," Gohan asked himself as he noticed a note on the kitchen table.

Dear Gohan,

I had to go to the shop to get food for dinner. You and your brother eat me out of house and home. I took Goten with me in the car. Be back around 7:00pm.

Love always

Mum.

" Oh good, I thought she might be hurt or something. I really should stop talking to myself," Gohan said.

He decided that he would head up to his room and get changed. He could study tomorrow, maybe he would draw or something. Gohan loved to draw, he was damn good at it too. He drew whatever he was feeling at the time. Kind of instead of writing a diary, he drew his what he felt, not wrote it that's all.

Gohan got out of his clothes and into his jeans and a loose top. Something comfortable. He just sat down and got out his drawing things, when the phone rang.

"Alright already, I'm coming," Gohan said as he walked over to the phone.

"Hello, Gohan speaking," He answered.

"Hi Gohan it's Bulma, you better come over here quick," Bulma replied on the other end.

"Why, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Just get over here, as quick as you can!!!" Bulma replied as she hung up the phone.

Gohan was pretty worried by now, whatever happened, Bulma was in no urgency to tell him over the phone. That usually tends to be bad, very bad.

Gohan didn't waste anymore time, he got to Capsule Corp about 2.45minutes later. He ran through the halls of Capsule Corp, following Bulma's ki. He was even more worried when he found out she was in the Medical wing of CC.

"Bulma, what's wrong?" he asked as he saw her.

"There you are, it's your mother Gohan. She was in an accident, a drunk driver smashed into the car. Goten's fine, but I'm afraid that your mums, gone," Bulma explained whispering at the end.

It took Gohan a while for him to register what was said. When it was however, he broke down crying. Bulma comforted him, but she was just as emotional as him. They stayed like that for several more hours. Neither finding the strength to move.

Gohan eventually borrowed a Capsule Corp bed, and cried himself to sleep. If losing his father wasn't enough, now he had lost his mother. I guess the feeling was right, he hoped so bad that it would be wrong, but not even the strongest boy in the world could prevent his mother's death.
