Chapter 2: New revelations

Hi guys I'm back so I decided that I won't get to how Hercule gets discovered for being a fraud in this chapter I'll save that for the following one. In this one I'm going to focus on the lives of Gohan and Videl following the years after the Cell Games. I appreciate the reviews to SAGEOF6WAY and LIGHTNINGBLADE49. I decided to add Lime in the story not sure when but I will, Gohan will continue his training and will keep the universe most powerful being. I haven't decided the kind of conflict the Z Fighters will have, whether it be an Army of Bio Warriors, a space invader, or something different, what I do know is the mysterious character will have something to do with it. I will also introduce some more of the characters I plan to add in the story. I do not own anything. Now without any more delays…

"Cough. Cough, Blahhh" Chi-Chi woke up for the 3rd time that week.

It's been 2 weeks since the Cell games and since the day Goku decided to remain in the other world. The days haven't been easy in the Son house, especially for Chi-Chi who hasn't been able to get a full night of sleep since the Cell Games. She's been waking up every day in the night do to a bad stomach flu.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Asked Gohan as he walked out of his room towards the bathroom.

"I'm fine sweetie, Go back to bed."

"You're not ok, you've been waking up all week throwing up in the middle of the night, we need to get you to a doctor."

"Gohan, Don't worry," he was about to protest but before he could say anything Chi-Chi said "fine, first thing tomorrow morning, after breakfast we'll go to Bulma's house and get me checked out. How does that sound" She told him.

Unsure but still happy that she was willing to at least see Bulma he decided to drop it. "Ok mom, but we leave before breakfast and I won't take no for an answer"

Chi-Chi just nodded at Gohan and told him to back to sleep, since she was feeling better she decided to also get some sleep.

Back with Gohan. "I can't believe it, it's all my fault that mom is like this. I shouldn't have gotten cocky, I should have finished Cell off when I had that chance, I should have listened to dad, and I should have destroyed him when I had the chance."

As Gohan was talking to himself he started packing some bags for himself and his mother, he wasn't sure how long they were going to stay with Bulma, but he was willing to stay as long as he needed in order for his mother to get better. Gohan thinks that his mother is sad because of his father's death and that she is falling into a depression. 'I can't fail mom to I have to make sure that she's ok, I already failed her and dad once, I can't do it again.' As Gohan was going through this in his head, he finished packing the bags, one for his mom and the other for himself. He made his way to his bed 'I'll start tomorrow by making sure that mom is fine, I'll continue to train lie Vegeta said. I won't fail again.' Sleep soon came on him so he can wake up early to take his mother to Bulma.

"Wow Videl, I can't believe this is your new house. It's huge." Said Erasa

"Are you kidding me Erasa, this isn't a house this is a mansion. Their kitchen is bigger than my whole house." Sharpner exclaimed excited.

"Guys it's not that big." Videl tried to convince her two friends, but they were having none of it, they both gave her a serious look. Finally Videl cracked, with a smile on her face "Fine, I know guys this place is huge, I still haven't even been in every room in this house and I've been here for 2 weeks. Daddy said the city insisted that we get this house, they said it's a small gesture as to how grateful they are to him."

"That's so cool Vi, you guys definitely deserve this, your dad saved the whole world." Videl just stared at her friend

"I know Erasa my dad is the best," Videl said. Sharpener decided to change the subject.

"So Videl how do you feel about going back to school on Monday? The schools are deciding to open back up."

"Oh yeah, these last couple of weeks have been great. I don't know how I feel, I'm excited to see everyone."

"Aren't you worried about everyone wanting to befriend you just because you're dad is the most famous person in the world?" questioned Erasa, Sharpener just agreed and they both looked at Videl.

"I don't know guys, I don't think our friends would do that, they don't seem like the kind."

Sharpener and Erasa looked at Videl slightly worried then at each other. They both know Videl can take care of herself but they still worry about her.

"Don't worry guys everything will be the same as before this happened." Videl told her two friends.

"Ok, if you say so, but I have to get going my parents want me to start getting ready for school." Sharpener told Videl.

"I have to leave also Sharpener's parents are going to give me a ride home."

"Ok guys, I guess I'll see you guys on Monday at school." Sharpener and Erasa both left and walked to Sharpener's house so his parents can give her a ride.

"Mom. Mom. Mom." Gohan called for his mother as he knocked on her bedroom door. "Wake up we have to go to Bulma's house, you promised last night. Wake up" Behind the door as Chi-Chi was waking up she looked over at the clock on her nightstand.

"Gohan go back to bed its 6AM,"

"You promised we would go first thing in the morning."

"Yes, but let's at least let Bulma and Vegeta wake up."

"I know Vegeta is awake, I can feel his energy, he's training in the Gravity Room right now, and if Vegeta is awake then you know Bulma is going to be awake also."

"Fine let me at least pack some bags." Chi-Chi started to get out of bed to pack some bags.

"No need mom, I packed them last night before I went back to bed, now let's go." Chi-Chi walked out the door and looked at her son with a smile on her face.

"I don't think we need to go any more Gohan, I'm feeling much better." She tried talking her son out of going.

"That's what you say every morning and you can't seem to get a full nights rest, we are going and that final." Chi-Chi looked at her son, she knew this was more than just being worried for her. He wanted to try and make it up to her for what happened during the Cell Games.

"Fine, let me grab my coat and we can leave."

"NIMBUS!" as the yellow cloud approached them Chi-Chi questioned Gohan as to why he was wearing his fighting gi. Gohan helped his mother onto the yellow cloud and told him to Bulma's house. On their way over to Bulma's house Gohan told his mother that he was planning to have a little sparring match with Vegeta, Chi-Chi looked at Gohan cautiously, he gave his mother a cautious smile.

"Hehe, it'll be quick mom I promised."

"Fine."

The rest of the trip was silent as they traveled to Capsule Corps.

…..

Bulma had just finished getting ready for the day having showered and getting dressed. She made her way over the Gravity Room in order to see how Vegeta was doing. He had been waking up at 4 every morning to do some training before breakfast, she doesn't complain because he knows he's not just doing it to best Gohan as he says, he's doing it in order to protect her and Trunks if another threat comes. She knows Vegeta felt useless during the Cell Games, when he spoke with Future Trunks he told her how none of them stood a match against even the Cell JR's, when Gohan finally ascended to the next level he put everyone to shame there was no use for anyone other than Gohan and maybe Goku to be there, everyone else was just in the way. Vegeta didn't like second to anyone but what he like less was not being able to protect those he loved, even if he would never admit it.

As Bulma walked to the Gravity Room she made her way to the observer room on top of the chamber and spoke into the microphone

"Vegeta, what time are you going to come out for breakfast?"

"I'll be out shortly, besides Kakaraot's brat is on his way here, he seems to be flying slowly so he must have his Harpy of a mother with him."

"What really, I wonder what need coming here so early in the morning."

"I don't know but I am going to spar with him and show him why I'm the Saiyan Prince." Vegeta stated with confidence.

Bulma walked out of the Observer room and walked towards the kitchen, If Chi-Chi was on her way over she'd have some coffee ready for the two of them to drink and talk over whatever business it is she needed help with. A few moments later Bulma heard footsteps coming from the hall approaching the kitchen "Figure's Gohan probably felt my energy in the kitchen and is bringing his mother, or maybe he just wanted to get some food, it is pretty early I know Chi-Chi wakes up early in the mornings to cook breakfast but even this is a bit early even for her."

"Good Morning Bulma," Gohan and his mother said in unison as they approached the blue hair scientist each giving her a hug first Chi-Chi then Gohan.

"Morning guys, did you know I was here Gohan or did you just follow your stomach?" Bulma asked with a smirk.

"Hehehe," Gohan put his hand behind his head the same way Goku always use to. "Well it was a little of both, you see I am a little hungry but I felt your energy in the kitchen decided to kill two birds with one stone." Gohan said.

"Oh really," he looked skeptical at Gohan, then over to Chi-Chi waiting for confirmation, when she nodded Bulma continued. "And what is it that I can help you guys with, I know you guys wouldn't show up before breakfast unless it was really important."

Gohan was the first one to speak up, "well it's about my mom," he said as he glanced at his mom before continuing, "She's been waking up every night this week throwing up." The look of worry was clear on his face.

Bulma didn't seemed to be fazed by this, "I see and how are you feeling right now Chi."

"Well I'm feeling fine right now, I'm sure it's just a bug nothing life threatening, but Gohan insisted that we come to the doctor's I managed to talk him out of that by promising we'd come see you. And well not we're here."

Bulma just stared at the duo she had a pretty good idea what was going on, but didn't want to say anything with Gohan in the room so she spoke up. "Gohan I'll take a look at your mother don't worry, I also see that you're wearing your fighting gi why don't you go and spar with Vegeta, he already knows you're here and will probably be here shortly to get you if you don't go down there yourself."

"Yeah, I was hoping he'd be up for a good match, I have to keep up on my training, like Vegeta always says I can't be weak during these times of peace." As he finished saying this Gohan walked out of the kitchen and made his way to the Gravity Room in order to spar with Vegeta.

When Bulma was sure that Gohan was out of hearing shot she looked over at Chi-Chi and spoke up "I think I know what's wrong with you, and something tells me you know what's wrong also."

Chi-Chi sighed "It's the same way I felt back when I was pregnant with Gohan, I haven't taken a test or anything but I'm sure that's what it is. The only thing is the symptoms are happening to early, with Gohan it was about a month before I felt any form of sickness."

Bulma looked at her and nodded "I see it was the same with trunks it took a while before I started feeling sick, maybe it has to do with the fact that Goku just died add the pregnancy to the mix and you are just very emotional." Bulma was cautious, she knew very well of Chi-Chi's temper and didn't want to be on the receiving end of one of her rants.

"Hmm, maybe but we aren't even sure if I am pregnant."

"You're right let's get a quick snack then we can head to my lab and we can do some tests."

Chi-Chi agreed and made her way to the fridge as Bulma poured two cups of coffee, being the only thing she could do without running the risk of burning the house down.

…..

Vegeta was in the Gravity Room already drenched in sweat shadow boxing when he felt Gohan make his way towards him. 'Finally the brat is on his way.' As he said this he felt the pressure of the gravity drop back to normal as he saw the door open.

"Welcome brat, I see you're here to be my punching bag." Vegeta said with a smirk.

"Humph don't hold your breath." As he closed the door and made his way over to Vegeta.

"Just wait, we spar at 400X earth's gravity no going super Saiyan, last thing I need is for this room to break, then I won't have anywhere to train." Gohan just nodded as he heard the room buzzing and almost fell to his knee unprepared for the sudden change in gravity.

"What's the matter brat is this too much for you, I can turn it down if you can't handle this," Vegeta said mocking Gohan.

"No, I'm just not used to training like this, don't worry though I'm still more than you can handle." He said trying to get under his skin, as he got in his fighting stance Vegeta clearly irritated charged at Gohan his fist pulled back ready to smash his face in. As he got closer he swung his fist forward only to go right through Gohan's face as he made an after image of himself, Vegeta quickly looked back expecting to see Gohan ready to strike only to be thrown against the wall as Gohan kicked him in the back of the head having reappeared in the same spot. Vegeta getting angry at falling for this trick vanished and appeared in front of Gohan about to swing only to leave an after image which Gohan noticed to late as he crossed his arms to block the hit only to receive a blow to the side of his head which smashed him against the same wall which Vegeta had just been in seconds before. Angry at himself for having fallen for a similar trick that he just put Vegeta attempted to get up however Vegeta wasn't as forgiving didn't allow Gohan the opportunity to get up and landed his knee in his stomach. Gohan started coughing up blood but didn't have an opportunity to recover as Vegeta slammed his fist into his face. Vegeta jumped back preparing a ki blast to throw at Gohan.

"What happened brat where did all the confidence you had a few minutes ago?"

"Don't worry Vegeta this match is just getting started, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."

Before Vegeta could say anything he saw Gohan rush towards him decided not to use a ki blast and prepared for the clash. He saw Gohan was about to punch him crossed his arms again to protect himself however the punch was to strong and broke through Vegeta's defense and threw him a few meters back, and this time taking the initiative Gohan went at Vegeta again and attacked him the same way that Vegeta had moments ago. This went on for about an hour with neither one of the two Saiyan's giving in, deciding to continue their spar after breakfast stopped and stared at each other.

"We continue after Breakfast Vegeta stated."

"Agreed."

…..

Bulma and Chi-Chi had just finished up the tests and decided to make some breakfast for the two hungry Saiyan's who were sure to be about done with their spar.

"So Chi, how do you plan to tell Gohan that you're pregnant?"

"WHAT!" Before Chi-Chi could respond they both looked at the door way to the kitchen to see Gohan frozen by the door eyes wide open and his mouth also open, next to him stood Vegeta eyes wide open.

"Um, surprise." Chi-Chi told Gohan not expecting her son to have found out a different way.

"What do you mean you're pregnant how long have you known, is it a boy or a girl, what's going to be his name?" Gohan started asking questions before he fainted.

"Wow Chi, even Vegeta took the news better when he found out about Trunks."

"Humph," Choosing to ignore the comment "Great now there goes my sparring partner, you have him to sheltered, he's probably flustered over the fact that he knows you and Kakarot had to have sex to make a baby, pathetic for a Saiyan warrior to be flustered over something so simple." Whack. Next thing Vegeta sees is a frying pan from Bulma smacking him in the face and one from Chi-Chi hitting him in the top of the head effectively knocking him out.

"Serves him right, I'm sure Gohan just doesn't know how to react to having to the possibility of him having a baby brother or baby sister." Bulma said.

"Yeah, Bulma can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure, what do you need?"

"Well I want to gather all of my husband's friends and tell them about the pregnancy so they don't mention Goku, I know Gohan still blames himself over his death, that's why he was so worked up over this when we came over here. Now I'm afraid he might do something stupid or fall into a depression if he thinks that his new sibling will grow up without a father because of him."

Bulma looked at Chi-Chi "Of course, we'll gather everyone together next week, how does that sound."

Chi-Chi just nodded and thanked her friend as she finished up breakfast as Bulma set the table for when the two would wake up.

Hi guys once again I didn't quite get to where I wanted to but that's ok, I don't want to rush my story. I've read some pretty good stories but in an effort to finish it they start doing to many time skips or it just feels rushed. Now I probably won't get to Gohan at high school until about chapter 4 or 5. For the next chapter I'm going to talk about how Videl's life changed directly after the cell games and how everyone wanted to be her friend to get close to her dad adding to her suspicious attitude, also we will see the mysterious character again I don't plan to give him a name yet or a face I'm still deciding on that (if you have any ideas please let me know), last I want the Z gang to learn about the pregnancy and the following month. I won't get to uncovering Hercule just yet, like I said I don't want to rush this. Please tell me how I'm doing whether it's in a review or a message, also let me know what I can do to improve. This chapter is about a thousand words longer than my previous one excluding my notes let me know what you think, shorter and faster chapters, or long less frequent ones. Well that's all I have for now until next time.
