******Goku's House******

The room was dimly lite. A small arrangement of lavender and jasmine scented candles filled the air while their flames flickered from the light breeze that entered the room through a cracked window. The setting was perfect, just what she needed for optimal relaxation. Goku sat at the end of the bed and rubbed Chi-Chi's sore feet the way she had done for him plenty of times during his brutal training sessions. He smiled in satisfaction as he watched his wife melt between his finger tips.

Chi-Chi was in a reclined position on a small mountain of pillows. She cracked her eyes open and smiled admiringly at Goku as he had once again outdone himself with a romantic surprise. Not in their entire marriage would she have guessed that he was capable of such well thought out intimate gestures. The week before, he prepared her a nice hot bubble bath and had dinner ready by the time she was fully relaxed. Chi-Chi often tried to give Goku his own surprises but he always caught her in the act. He watched her like hawk after her stay in the hospital.

His hands traveled up her legs to his new destination. He lightly kneaded her hips to help her relax even more. She had been much more tense as of late, ever since she had had another trip to the hospital to be monitored. Chi-Chi still had trouble keeping hydrated and even with the Dr's orders to rest, she still kept way too busy in her garden. She was far too stubborn to break her routine.

"Ah!" winced Chi-Chi as she took several deep breaths.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" asked Goku slightly worried he may have pressed too hard.

"No, it wasn't you. I'm just..." several deep controlled breaths filled the air as Goku waited patiently for Chi-Chi.

"It was another contraction" she finished as the pain subsided. Her collapse in the hospital when Kaka was born revealed that she was already 3 weeks along. Not that she had believed Dr. Gregory when she had finally been able to remain conscious long enough to hear the diagnosis for herself. She had no idea that they could know that soon! It took several IV bags and a very high protein meal to convince Dr. Gregory to release her once she had plenty of rest. Goku had even held himself back from telling everyone when he found out. He instead stayed with her in the hospital bed, whispering his excitement to her as she slept. He even pledged to not miss a single moment of this pregnancy.

"Are they feeling closer or stronger? Do we need to go to the hospital yet?" questioned Goku. 'How much longer is this baby gonna stay in there?!' he thought as his patience started to wear thin. Despite her age and the occasional avoidance of the Dr's orders for bed rest, this baby was overdue. Dr. Gregory had explained that Advanced Maternal Age Pregnancies could increase the risks that are normally faced during pregnancies at a prime age, and that included a risk of premature birth if in any complications arose. Now they were getting into their 2nd week past the due date, but luckily Chi-Chi's labor had finally started without needing to be induced.

"Probably not yet, Goku. They aren't too strong and not even 10 minutes apart. This baby is just too stubborn to leave" giggled Chi-Chi.

Goku placed his hands on Chi-Chi's belly and tried to feel for some kicks. This baby was ACTIVE (the main cause for Chi-Chi's constant state of exhaustion), much more so than Gohan had been. Yet as restless as he/she was in there, it didn't want to leave.

"Come on, baby. Daddy wants to meet you" tried coaxing Goku. He leaned in and kissed the top of Chi-Chi's stomach only to receive a hard kick to the nose. "OW! Hey, no sparring until you can walk" he lightly scolded as he rubbed his face.

Chi-Chi laughed through the pain of the kick. It was just like Goku to have the baby's training all planned out. She lifted her hands up towards Goku in a silent plea for help to get up. He gently pulled her forward and helped her swing her feet over the edge of the bed.

"I need to go to the bathroom. Do you think you could get me some water?" asked Chi-Chi as she struggled to get her legs to follow her commands.

"Sure, Chi. Do you need anything to eat?" asked Goku. He sure needed something to eat right about now.

"No, no. Just water please. I don't think the baby will ever leave if I keep eating while in labor" joked Chi-Chi. Maybe the Saiyan half-breed would come out for food.

"Alright, I'll be right back. When I get back in here I'll rub your back, so don't get too comfortable yet" smiled Goku.

He waited until Chi-Chi made it to their master bathroom and closed the door before leaving to get her water. He kept his senses focused on her energy for any fluctuations that could be alarming. After coming home the day of her release, they once again brought up the topic of Goku's trust issues. They talked in bed for hours to clear the air between them and Goku confessed to his stalking. Chi-Chi didn't get upset like he assumed she would. She actually understood and had expected something of the sort to happen, even admitting that she would have done the same had the situation been reversed.

Goten sat at the table with a large plate of takeout. He had made sure to get enough for his dad considering he'd eat it all if Goten turned his back.

"Hey dad, how's mom doing?" wondered Goten. He hadn't seen his mother in two days thanks to a school project that took hours of his personal time to work on. Luckily he was partnered with Trunks so they had already finished in half the time thanks to his persistence to finish before his new sibling arrived.

"She's doing alright. The contractions have started but they aren't close enough together to get her to the hospital yet. She wants to wait until she absolutely has go in so she doesn't have to stay as long" explained Goku as he took the takeout Goten slid towards him.

Goku shoveled food into his mouth as fast as he could. He tracked Chi-Chi exiting the bathroom and hurried to get her water.

"How much longer do you think it'll be?" asked Goten before his father could walk away.

"Not sure. Could be a few hours or could be more. She was in labor for 18 hours with Gohan but he was the first so it could be less" answered Goku as he headed back up the stairs.

"Awesome" smiled Goten. He couldn't wait to be a big brother. Trunks always talked about Bra and all the stuff he would teach her. Playing with Pan was somewhat the same but since he didn't always get along with Gohan, seeing her wasn't an every day type of thing.

Upstairs, Chi-Chi made herself comfortable by sitting in the middle of the bed. She leaned forward with her legs crossed as she focused on her breathing again. Another contraction was slowly creeping up on her while she waited for Goku.

******Gohan's House******

Videl was feeding Kaka when Goten came over to give them an update. Goku wasn't the best at keeping in touch with everyone.

"Hey Goten, how's your mom feeling?" asked Videl.

Goten was tackled by Pan before he could answer. The two engaged in a mock spar right in the living room.

"Not in the house you two" said Gohan. He had been in the his office when he heard the commotion.

"Sorry daddy" laughed Pan.

"How's mom? Has she made an appointment to be induced yet?" asked Gohan walking over to help Goten off the floor.

"Oh right, that's why I came over. She's getting contractions. They aren't close enough for her to get to the hospital yet but she's doing good" explained Goten.

"That's great! Oh wow, I can't wait to see the new baby!" squealed Videl in excitement. Kaka cooed and laughed at his mom as she pinched his chubby little cheeks.

"Yeah! This is exciting! I'm going to get a hold of everyone since Mom probably isn't feeling up to it." Gohan pulled out his phone and began to send out a mass text to all their friends.

******Goku's House******

4 hours had passed since the beginning of Chi-Chi's contractions. For Goku, the time was dragging on and on. He wanted some actual progress but the contractions were still only 9 minutes apart. He sat behind Chi-Chi and rubbed her back, focusing on the lower half as he had been doing during the contractions since returning to the room.

Chi-Chi was uncomfortable. She sat on the middle of the bed and tried her best to focus on her breathing, but the baby felt like it was doing back flips in her uterus. 'Such an active child. How am I ever going to keep up with it' she thought as she tried to adjust herself.

"Goku, can you help me up? I need to go to the bathroom again." The pressure on her bladder had her running to the bathroom every 20 minutes, and every time it was just a trickle. It was frustrating. She'd stay in the bathroom and never come out if she didn't love the soothing atmosphere Goku had created for her.

"Sure, while you're in there I'm going to find some more candles. These look just about spent" he said while gently helping her again.

Once Chi-Chi was in the bathroom, Goku opened the door to look for more candles and..."Aahh!" he screamed as he jumped up hitting his head on the door frame.

"Sorry Dad, I didn't mean to scare you" laughed Gohan.

"It's ok, Gohan. I should have been paying attention to my surroundings" chuckled Goku.

"So, how's mom doing? Any progress yet?" asked Gohan still standing by the doorway as Goku rummaged through a nearby cabinet for more candles.

"Not much" sighed Goku. "Still only 9 minutes apart. Hey, do you and Videl have any candles?"

"Candles?" asked Gohan on surprise. He took a quick glance into the room and saw the arrangement of candles lighting the dim room. "I'm not sure. I'll ask Videl to pick some up. She's in the city getting more food so Goten can stay with us while mom is in the hospital."

"Thanks Gohan. Ask her for relaxing scents, if you don't mind. Your mom really likes the lavender and jasmine I have going." Goku stopped for a second and thought, 'Well, Videl was the one that told me about the candles, so I'm sure she knows.'

"Goku!" shouted Chi-Chi from the bathroom.

"I'm coming!" shouted back Goku as he rushed back into the room leaving Gohan to stand awkwardly at the door. "What's wrong, Chi-Chi. Are you alright?"

Chi-Chi opened the door and appeared to be very flustered. Her face was pink and thin layer of sweat was forming on her brow.

"I think we should go to the hospital. NOW!" she panicked.

"What's wrong, Mom?" asked Gohan urgently as he finally stepped closer.

"Something doesn't feel right. My heart is pounding too fast, it's not normal" Chi-Chi's voice cracked as she rapidly played every horrible outcome she could imagine.

"Stay calm. Don't stress yourself out. Call Dr. Gregory and have him meet us there. I'll fly to the hospital and give Dad a signal to focus on so he can use instant transmission. It's faster" stepped in Gohan.

"Right!" said Goku.

Gohan dashed out of the house at top speed and flew to the hospital as fast as he could.

Chi-Chi made the call from her cell phone as Goku grabbed her packed bag.

Goten was suddenly bursting into the room in a panic after watching Gohan take off like a speeding bullet.

"WHAT'S GOING ON? IS THE BABY OKAY?!" he screamed. The worry evident in his voice.

"You're mother doesn't feel well so we're heading to the hospital as soon as Gohan gets there. Help me get these candles out. We wouldn't want the house to burn down while we're gone" said Goku trying to keep an even, relaxing tone. He waited until Goten came closer to him to whisper, "Don't panic, we want to keep your mom as stress-free as possible, alright? Let's try to stay calm."

Goten nodded in understanding but couldn't stop his heart from pounding so hard. He had been kept in the loop about the dangers his mother's age would contribute to the pregnancy. Dr. Gregory scared the shit of out him when he told them that a serious complication could kill both the baby and his mother.

******West City Hospital******

Gohan paced in the hallway outside of Chi-Chi's room with Goten as they called everyone with updates. Goku stood outside the door with his face pressed to it in an attempt to hear what was happening inside. He couldn't decipher anything with all the different voices talking at once. He hadn't even been able to hear the footsteps coming to the door.

THUMP!

The door was pulled open and Goku fell to the floor from the sudden loss of stability.

"Goku! Are you alright?" asked Chi-Chi from the hospital bed. The entire room had fallen silent as they waited for Goku to answer.

"Yeah, I'm fine" laughed Goku as he stood with a blush.

The boys in the hallway erupted into a fit of laughter and the nurses tried their best to cover their snickering.

"Mr. Son, would you like to come in?" asked Dr. Gregory sarcastically from Chi-Chi's bedside. The nurse that had opened the door quickly made his exit as Goku finally walked in.

"S-Sorry, Doc. I was just trying to make sure Chi-Chi was alright" said Goku blushing a little harder as he walked towards the bed.

"Well, everything looks alright. It seems the baby had placed too much pressure on the umbilical cord. This cut off the blood and air supply to the baby and caused Chi-Chi's heart rate to increase. Usually, moving into a different position will move the baby off and return things to normal. Since we're all here anyway, we will be breaking the water to help the labor speed up" explained Dr. Gregory.

"Wait, her water didn't break? I thought labor didn't start until after that?" asked Goku in confusion. The only thing he really knew about childbirth was how to get his wife pregnant and that she shouldn't get too stressed. Everything else just sort of flew over his head.

"No, contractions usually start before the water breaks, usually small and gradually get stronger. When the water breaks, it's a sign that the labor is progressing and the baby will arrive soon" said the Dr. He scribbled several notes onto Chi-Chi's chart before asking if he should proceed with breaking the water.

******2 Hours Later******

Chi-Chi was more than ready to get the baby out. She refused the epidural just like she had with Gohan and Goten, and she was regretting her decision. Her body was just not what it used to be.

The pain was much more excruciating this time around. Of course, it didn't help that the baby was more active than usual. Every contraction earned a reaction from the baby. Whether it was a kick to the ribs or what felt like scratches just about anywhere the baby could reach. If felt like the baby was trying to claw its way out!

Chi-Chi looked around the room at all the candles Gohan had brought in per Goku's request and smiled. He had gone out of his way to recreate the relaxing environment from earlier and Chi-Chi couldn't be more grateful.

As Goku walked around lighting the candles, the scent of Jasmine and Lavender slowly wafted through the air and tickled her senses as she continued to focus on her breathing. The nurses had swooned over Goku when they caught him setting up the candles. It was a romantic gesture they hadn't seen anyone do in a hospital.

The nurses later walked back into the room with a small waterfall fountain made with rocks and tranquil colored lights, and a small CD player with soothing music to add to the ambiance. One nurse had even gathered an assortment of scented hand lotions from coworkers around the hospital to give them for Goku's massages. They even kept the fluorescent lighting dimmed as they worked.

The labor had progressed much faster than anyone had anticipated after Dr. Gregory broke her water. Chi-Chi was having a hard time counting how far apart her contractions were now that they were closer and more intense.

"G-Goku, c-can you get a nurse? I...I think I need to push" she strained out through a contraction.

Goku's eyes widened as he rushed out the door with a huge grin. 'Almost time to meet the baby' he mentally cheered. He didn't take long to return with the head nurse and Goten, who had been getting something to eat with Sasha.

Goten shielded his eyes and turned his back after he realized where the nurse was.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me that the nurse was going to look...down there" whispered Goten with a deep pink blush.

"I didn't know she was going to do that, but I guess she would have to check if the baby was ready" chuckled Goku. He wondered how Goten could be so shy about Lady parts after what he was caught doing at the Gala. Maybe it was because they were talking about his mom's lady parts?

"Alright Chi-Chi, it looks like we have a baby coming" smiled the nurse as she quickly began to prep everything in the room.

"I'll go tell the other nurses" said Goten, almost desperate for a reason to escape.

Goku walked back over to Chi-Chi and held her hand as he showered her with kisses. The rest of the nurses arrived shortly after Goten walked out.

******The Waiting Room******

Gohan had been on the phone dealing with some work-related phone calls when Goten walked in.

"Hey, did you check on Mom?" wondered Gohan. He covered the microphone on his phone so he wouldn't be heard on the other end of the line.

"Yup, baby's coming" smiled Goten while he took out his own phone. He sent a mass text to everyone to give them the update. All of their friends had been waiting patiently at Capsule Corp during Chi-Chi's labor. Bulma had made a big deal about keeping Chi-Chi calm and relaxed, she even used Vegeta as a means to threaten anyone who wanted to intrude on Chi-Chi's relaxing environment. She had done the same when delivering Bra, keeping everyone at arms length until after the birth. Labor was stressful enough without people pestering you about how you feel or how much longer.

"Are you excited?" asked Gohan after finally getting of the phone.

"Yeah, I can't wait much longer! I just want to know if we're getting another brother or a sister!" grinned Goten.

"I know what you mean. I think I'm more anxious to know than I was waiting to find out if Kaka was a boy or a girl" laughed Gohan. "So, how are things with you and Sasha? You guys have been together for quite a while now, haven't you?"

"Things are great! We like all the same things, she knows how to cook just as good as mom does so that's a plus, and she didn't get too freaked out when her and Ginnie watched me spar with Trunks. I think that was the thing that kinda worried me, that she'd think we were freaks for being Saiyans" replied Goten.

"Sounds to me like you found 'The One'" teased Gohan.

"I honestly think so, too" blushed Goten. He hadn't thought about his relationship with Sasha too much but this conversation was the sign he needed. After graduation, he was going to marry this girl.

Gohan smiled at his little brother. He had come such a long way. From the destructive, little troublemaker he was as a child, to the explosive, temperamental teenager, and now to the respectful, level headed, young adult sitting next to him. His little brother was finally all grown up.

******Chi-Chi's Room******

Goku winced at the pressure Chi-Chi was putting on his hand. She was still stronger than most human women and she was making it well known at that moment. Goku had to focus some Ki around his hand to keep his bones from breaking.

The room was filled with nurses encouraging her to push and praising her for doing great. Dr. Gregory had come straight to her room for the delivery instead of showing up at the last minute the way he did for Videl. He even brought with him a colleague, Dr. Foreman, to assist him if things went south.

Chi-Chi grit her teeth and dug her chin down into her chest as she pushed as hard as she could. 'Soon' she reminded herself, 'this will all be over soon, and I'll get to hold my baby.'

"You're doing great, Chi. Almost there! The head is out!" exclaimed Goku repeating the words of Dr. Gregory.

She took a few deep breaths and pushed again, harder than before if that was even possible.

"We have birth!" shouted Dr. Gregory as he handed the baby over to Dr. Foreman. The room became unusually quiet as the sounds of the machines intensified.

"What's wrong?! Why isn't the baby crying?!" shouted Chi-Chi in trepidation. Goku stood straight to look over the crowd of nurses, hoping to see what was going on.

Dr. Foreman began the task of suctioning out the amniotic fluid from the baby's mouth.

"Is the baby okay?!" shouted Chi-Chi still trying to get some answers.

"The baby will be just fine" smiled Dr. Foreman as he handed the baby over to Chi-Chi. "Congratulations, it's a girl! She swallowed a large amount of fluid during the birth so she's not crying yet. We'll have to take her into the neonatal ward to get her on an oxygen ventilator, but she is perfectly healthy otherwise."

"A GIRL! IT'S A GIRL!" shouted Goku as he instantly vanished leaving the entire staff baffled.

"He'll be back" laughed Chi-Chi as she cuddled their baby girl. She counted 10 little fingers and 10 little toes before the nurses had to take the baby for the breathing treatment.

*******The Waiting Room******

Gohan and Goten were standing by the vending machine when out of nowhere Goku appeared behind them and shouted, "IT'S A GIRL! YOU HAVE A BABY SISTER!"

The brother's jumped and grabbed for each other screaming. They looked around the room and back at each other in shock. Goku was gone as quickly as he appeared.

******Capsule Corp******

The crowd at Capsule Corp were gathered in the sun room. Bulma had offered everyone some tea, cupcakes, and cookies while they waited for yet another update.

Bulma was taking a bite from a cupcake when suddenly, Goku appeared on the table screaming, "IT'S A GIRL!"

The fright had everyone spilling tea and suddenly tossing their snack of choice through the air. Bulma now had the unpleasant task of having to clean out her nostrils after her sudden jump pushed the cupcake into her face.

"Goddamnit, Kakarot!" shouted Vegeta making the mental note to kick his ass for the mess he created.

******King Kai's Planet******

King Kai sighed as he watched over Goku. Always checking in on Goku and his family meant he'd be prepared for Goku's surprise visits, you know, in case Goku ever decided to show up with a self-destructing enemy to destroy his planet again. He stood tall as he waited for the Saiyan to bring his excitement.

"IT'S A GIRL! I HAVE A BABY GIRL!" shouted Goku as he grabbed the front of King Kai's clothes and shook him.

"Th-That's...great Goku...w-what's her...n-name" he forced out as Goku continued to shake him.

"Oh no! We haven't named her yet!" yelled Goku as he let go of King Kai. "I better get going before Chi-Chi names her without me!"

******The Hospital Room******

Dr. Gregory had already finished stitching Chi-Chi when Goku popped back into the room next to an unsuspecting nurse. Everyone jumped and let out small shouts after the nurse let out a high pitch shriek.

"Goku, we told you not to do that in the hospital because..."

"...because it scares the nurses. Sorry everyone! I just got a little excited" explained Goku as he rubbed the back of his head. He couldn't help himself from telling everyone he knew once the heard the doctor say it was girl. He hadn't been expecting to be that happy but he had secretly been hoping for a daughter. Everyone else had a daughter!

The nurses grumbled and muttered on their way out after cleaning everything. Goku watched them as they walked out and noticed his daughter was not in the room.

"Hey, where's..?"

"She's in the neonatal ward getting a breathing treatment. They said she'll be fine and they'll bring her back in once she can breathe better" interrupted Chi-Chi.

Goku pouted as he walked over to a chair next to the bed and plopped down dramatically. "I didn't even get to hold her" he mumbled.

"You would have if you hadn't taken off" laughed Chi-Chi. "Don't worry, she's our baby so you'll have plenty of time to hold her."

Goku smiled and leaned over to kiss Chi-Chi. "I love you, Chi-Chi" he whispered against her lips.

"I love you too, Goku" giggled Chi-Chi.

"So what are we going to name our one and only daughter?" asked Goku. His eyes lit up with joy as he watched Chi-Chi ponder.

"How about...Gozen?" she asked in curiosity.

"Gozen?" repeated Goku.

"Isn't it adorable!" asked Chi-Chi cupping her hands together under her chin.

"Gozen" repeated Goku testing out the name. "I like it!"

A knock at the door got their attention before the head nurse walked in holding a small, crying bundle of blankets. "Here you go! She didn't take long to start using those lungs of hers" laughed the nurse. "She woke up every baby in the neonatal care unit. I think she might be hungry."

Goku winced as the hollering got louder, "Yup! That's my girl!" he laughed.

"Thank you! Can we get a few bottles of formula? My sons both drained me before they were full when they were born" said Chi-Chi as she cradled Gozen close to breasts in order to feed her.

"Why does that not surprise me after seeing the way your sons and husband eat" teased the nurse as she ran to get the formula.

Goku sat next to Chi-Chi on the bed so he could get a better look at his daughter. She had black eyes and dark hair just like everyone else in the family but she definitely inherited more of Chi-Chi's looks.

"She looks just like you" he said falling head over heels for the precious baby girl.

"I have a feeling she's going to take after you, though. She's energetic and likes to kick" replied Chi-Chi. She slowly moved Gozen to the other breast while they waited for the formula to be delivered. It hadn't even been 2 minutes and she was already getting sore.

Goku offered to feed the baby once the nurse came back with Gohan and Goten close behind.

"Wow! She looks just like Mom!" said Gohan with a smile.

"But she eats like Dad!" laughed Goten noticing how many bottles were brought in for their sister.

"What's her name?" asked Gohan trying to get a turn holding her.

"Gozen" replied Chi-Chi drowsily.

Goku handed Gozen over to Gohan and walked over to Chi-Chi. "Go ahead and gets some rest" he whispered into her ear. "I'll watch over Gozen."

Chi-Chi closed her weary eyes and let herself relax. She heard the protective undertone in his voice and couldn't help but smile. Not even more than 2 hours since her birth and she already had Goku wrapped around her little finger.

Gohan and Goten watched their father show his concern for their mother. They felt a sense of serenity wash over them as they noted the changes in their parents. Goku didn't just add Chi-Chi to his list of priorities, he placed her at the top.

Their friends all eventually made their way over from Capsule Corp. They took turns visiting so they wouldn't crowd the room as demanded by Bulma knowing Chi-Chi would be exhausted. Everyone congratulated Goku and kept their voices to a whisper so they wouldn't wake her.

By the time Chi-Chi woke up from her much needed rest, Goten was asleep on the floor against the wall across from her bed, Gohan was to her right, curled up into a ball on a spare chair, and Goku was on the futon style chair next to Chi-Chi. He had fallen asleep with Gozen curled against his chest. His heart beat serving as a soothing rhythm and his body heat a warming blanket.

While she would have enjoyed seeing Videl, Pan, and Kaka at that moment, she knew the best place for them was at home where they were most comfortable.

She looked around the room where the candles were still set and flickering. She was overcome with a peacefulness she never knew she could feel. She was surrounded by the men she cared about the most and the love child that proved they could overcome any trials sent their way.

Chi-Chi reached for Gozen as she began to stir and held her in her arms so she wouldn't wake everyone. She watched her daughter sleep comfortably and thought about everything that lead to her arrival.

Her mistake was now a thing of the past. An error long forgotten by the arrival of a true blessing.

The End.

******Author's Note******

I loved the pregnancy comments after the last chapter! I couldn't help myself guys! XD I didn't want to make it obvious like Videl's but definitely wanted to leave the impression so y'all would come back for the Alternate Ending! Plot twist lol

Gozen's name was inspired by the word "blessing" which is zegen in Dutch (I once again looked for translation on .com) and also by the "zen" feeling Goku created for Chi-Chi.
