"I'm glad 'we' finally have your attention Goten!" said Valese, rubbing her stomach. "I'm not going through this pregnancy alone!"
Goten was still sitting at his desk staring at the pregnancy test. He looked up at Valese, and then he lowered his eyes to her stomach. He wanted to ask the famous,"Is the baby mine?" question, but because he knew he had unprotected sex with her, he dared not ask.
"Say something Goten!" yelled Valese, as she bent over his desk, snatching the pregnancy test from his hands.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?!" shouted Goten, slamming his hands on his desk. "AM I SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS?" he asked, looking at her with a face expression that read: you just ruined my life!
Valese became upset, and threw her pregnancy test at Goten, hitting him on the head. "YES," she cried."YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPY!"
"WELL I'M NOT, OKAY! HOW COULD YOU GET PREGNANT?!"
"How could you say that to me, Goten? It's not like I did this on purpose," sobbed Valese, lowering her voice. She gave Goten a heart-broken look, and declared, "I love this baby!"
Seeing Valese in tears made Goten feel bad. He didn't mean to take his frustration out on her. "I'm sorry Valese. I didn't-"
"You should be!" yelled Valese, cutting him off, and pointing to her stomach. "Because this is just as much your fault, as it is mine!"
"UHG! I KNOW THAT VALESE! I DON'T NEED YOU TELLING ME THAT!"
"You know what Goten, I only came here to tell you about your child!" said Valese. "Because to me, this baby is proof that our love existed!"
"You gotta be kidding me," thought Goten to himself. He looked at her like she was an idiot. "This baby is proof that I cheated on my wife!" he said, yelling at her.
Valese looked at him, and ran out of his office crying her eyes out. Realizing he was probably too harsh, Goten quickly got up from his chair and ran after her.
"WAIT VALESE!" shouted Goten.
Valese ignored him and kept running.
"I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU AND MY BABY!" he yelled, acknowledging the child was his.
Valese stopped running and turned around. She wiped the tears from her face using both of her hands, and walked towards him.
"Really?" she asked, looking at him feeling relieved.
"Yes," answered Goten.
"That's all I want," said Valese, smiling at him sadly.
Goten walked Valese safely to her car. Afterwards, he returned to his office to dispose of Valese pregnancy test. As he stood there, in his quiet office, so many thoughts started entering his head. "If Bra finds out, she's going to kill Valese! If Trunks finds out, he's going to hurt me! If Vegeta finds out, I can only imagine the horror!"
- At Home -
It was around eleven o clock at night and everyone was in the bed. Brenn was in her room, hugging her pillow, sound asleep in her bed, while Goten and Bra were in their room in their bed. Goten kept tossing and turning because he couldn't sleep. He looked over at his 'sleeping beauty' and cuddled up next to her. Goten gently clasped Bra's hand, being careful not to wake her, making himself feel secure. The thought of Bra leaving him, made him want to cry.
"Bra, I did something, that might be unforgivable in your eyes," he said, whispering to her. "And when the time comes, when you find out, I'm begging you right now to forgive me," he said, kissing her softly. "You have to forgive me, because I love you too much," he said, with a tear falling down his face. "Please, babe! Forgive me!" he said, whispering louder.
When he finished making his plea to his wife, Goten brought Bra's hand up to his face, and finally fell asleep.
