Part 4: Daddy's Duties
It was two years from that date. Pan was now 2 years old. Videl and Gohan had built a medium-size domed house not 10 feet away from the Son residence. Baby Pan was sound asleep. It was a cheerful Saturday morning.
"Gohan! Could you come here?"
"Good. Would you mind if I went to the mall for a few hours with the girls? I haven't been out very much what with the baby and you at school." She was giving him puppy eyes that he couldn't resist.
"Of course you can! You need a break. And feel free to treat yourself to some stuff."
"Thanks Gohan! You're the best!"
"Wait Videl, before you leave what do I have to do exactly?"
Videl sweat dropped. " Oh Im sure you'll figure it out. Gotta go, love ya bye!"
She said as she walked out the door.
Pan immediately started crying. Gohan walked over to her bed to see what was wrong.
"Okay, now what do you need?" She just stared at him with her raven like eyes.
"Um…I know how about lunch?"
"Daddy!" she squeaked.
"I'll take that as a yes."
Gohan trying to cook was a site to behold. He raided the cabinets and though he would make hamburgers. He gathered up buns, meat, lettuce, and all the other trimmings.
"Okay, now I know Videl does something to this," he said as held the raw red ground beef in his hands. Pan just stared with a smile in her high- seat.
"I know she uses some of this tube stuff, and maybe some of this! Oh! Pan could you hold this for a second?" He said as he handed her the open tube. Big mistake.
"Thanks Pan, now give it back to daddy!"
"No!" she clung onto that tube with all her might.
"You certainly are your mother's child. Stubborn to the bone. Now seriously…I need it back." He tried to pull it away from her but he gave up because he didn't want to hurt her.
SPLAT!!!
"NO PAN!!! Aug now we're both a mess. Come on let's get you cleaned up."
10 minutes later in the bathtub…
" No Pan! Don't eat the soap!!!"
Pan giggled. She was having a ball.
"Okay now if you just stay---Pan stop that!"
She was splashing around and throwing miscellaneous bathroom products everywhere.
"Pan, if we don't get this done, we are going to have lunch in time!"
Pan suddenly stopped at the word 'lunch'. Since she has one quarter Saiyan, she had a powerful hunger.
Back in the kitchen…
"Okay, now where is the frying pan--PAN!"
She was clutching the frying Pan and was swinging it back and forth.
"Okay, now you're acting like Grandma!" He chuckled. Pan got bored and dropped it.
"Finally!"
Gohan began cooking the meat in the frying pan.
"Why doesn't this look right? OH shoot! I forgot to make them into circles! Oh well, we will have to improvise."
Finally the meat was done and Gohan scooped them onto about 20 buns. He evenly distributed all the rest of the toppings. He just sat down with Pan when the front door opened.
"Well, don't you look cute in your pink apron," Videl exclaimed. Gohan blushed.
"So did you and Daddy have fun?" She was eyeing Gohan who had food, soap and everything else on him.
"Daddy funny!"
"Well, let's just see if Daddy made a good burger--- PHEF!!! Gohan what did you put in here???"
"I used the stuff in that tube over there. You always do."
"You doofus," she snickered, " This isn't the right tube! Your not suppose to put vanilla in burgers!" Gohan looked slightly pink.
"Why don't you go clean up and I'll take over lunch?" She was still laughing.
"Sounds like a plan!"
"Oh wait! Since you were such a good baby sitter today, you wouldn't mind watching Pan next week, same time, would you?"
Gohan just nodded with a half smile as he walked back upstairs to the bathroom that was still a mess. It took him 10 minutes to find the shampoo. After he cleaned up he went down stairs and of course made a pig of himself.
"So anyway, what did you buy at the mall?"
"Oh, just a few things…"
Gohan looked up and raised an eyebrow. " How many?" he asked innocently.
"Oh just about 20 or 30 but I couldn't resist!"
"Geez, I'm gonna have to get a second job to pay for weekly mall trips alone."
Videl smiled. He took it better than she thought. " Don't worry. Your office job now is plenty."
"Knock knock!" came a familiar voice from next door. "Hi son! I heard you were baby-sitting today! I thought I would just drop by to see how it went. Your father is out sparring so I was also home, baby-sitting Goten."
"Mom! I don't need a baby-sitter!" cried an angry Goten.
"Well, it looks like everything went well!"
"Yeah, sure! I swear Pan is starting to act more like my mother everyday!" Gohan thought to himself.
"Yeah. Being a dad is tough!"
"Like you have room to complain?" questioned Videl.
5 years, and many stained clothes later…
Pan was now 8. Her parents and her were still a happy family as always. Goten was attending high school. He was now the new girl magnet because he strongly resembled Gohan. Trunks, of course, was giving him a run for his money. Goku was almost always training and Gohan worked 5 days a week. He always found time to be with his family, unlike Goku.
"Hi mommy! Where have you been?" Pan was looking at her mother with a concerned look.
" Oh, just at the doctor's…nothing to worry about."
"Okay!" She perked right back up.
"Except for one thing…"
"And what would that be?" Gohan asked as he started to raid the fridge.
"Well, Pan, your are going to have another brother or sister!"
"Wow Mommy! That's great! I can't wait!"
"Oh Kami! Not again!!!!" Gohan yelled.
