Here I am with another chapter. Sorry for taking so long.

Thanks chichi89, kyra_storms and eternalfox92680 for the reviews.

eternalfox92680 I think I already replied to you but about the Dragon Balls, I didn't really think about it. I'm sorry if it's not in the context of the original story but this is AU. As for Chi-Chi and Goku, you will have to wait and see ;)

Thanks for reading, everyone! And please review!

Here's the new chapter.

Chapter 10: The New Reality
Goku and his sons were in the kitchen with Chi-Chi and Yamcha. Things were pretty awkward and there was an uncomfortable tension in the environment. He was still trying to figure out something to say.
"Eh... we called Shen Long and wished dad back, mom." Gohan was the one to talk.
"And he didn't have a place to stay so we thought we could bring him here. You will let him stay with us, won't you mom?"
"I… I don't know."
"Goten, it's okay. I can ask Bulma to let me stay there."
"But dad…"
"I'll see you in the morning okay?"
"But…"
"You can stay." Chi-Chi said unsurely.
The four men turned their attention to her, they were all surprised.
"What?"
"Hell, you're the father of my children. If I can't take Goten's wish then I'm a terrible mother."
Goten started jumping up and down and took Goku to his room. Gohan couldn't help but smile as he saw how happy his brother was.
"You just made Goten's day, mom."
"Yeah." She said weakly. "I couldn't say no to him."
"Well, if you excuse me, I'm going to bed."
"Okay, goodnight Gohan."
"Goodnight, mom." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Night, Yamcha."
"Night."
Chi-Chi turned to Yamcha and sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Dad, we can play a game before we go to sleep!" A full-of-energy Goten said happily.
"Not tonight, son. Dad is tired and wants some sleep."
"Ah, okay. I will bring the mattress for me."
"What are you talking about, Goten? You will sleep on your bed."
"But mom says you have to let older people sleep on the bed when they stay in your house."
Goku had to laugh at his son's innocence. Goten reminded him a lot of himself as a child.
"Your mother told you that huh?"
"Yep. And she said I have to be nice to them as well."
"Chi-Chi did a great job raising you, Goten. But you don't have to sleep on the mattress okay? I'm used to sleeping on the floor."
"You are?" The child asked surprised. "Your father didn't have a bed for you?"
Goku smiled. "He did, but when I met Master Roshi and he started training me and Krillin, we had to sleep on the floor."
"That sounds mean."
"It was hard at first but definitely worth it."
Goten sat on the bed and folded his legs. "Dad, how was your childhood like?"
"It was perfect. I was a restless kid, and I met Bulma when I was like 12. That was when we went to find the Dragon Balls." Goku looked up, as if he was trying to remember that day. "I also met your mother when I was that age."
"Really? She never told me that."
"Well, I wasn't exactly the smartest child." He said, laughing. "I sort of promised your mother I would marry her when we'd get older."
Goku glanced at his son. He had a surprised look on his face, he seemed really interested in the story.
"Mom hardly tells me about her childhood."
"I guess she didn't have much to do, she was a princess after all."
"Maybe." A smile rose on Goten's face. "Tell me more about your childhood, dad."
"There isn't much to say anymore, Goten. I had a great childhood, I started fighting evil since I was a teenager, or almost."
"So you've been protecting the Dragon Balls since then?"
"Pretty much. Thanks to Bulma, though. She was the one who was looking for them in the first place."
"I wanna hear more about you and mom."
"Let's see. Well, after our first meeting we only saw each other again when we were around nineteen, during a Tournament. She never forgot about my promise, that's why she entered it. She was hoping she would fight against me, and that did happen. I had no trouble defeating her but I kept my promise so I married her during the Tournament."
"That's so cool, dad!"
"You should have seen her, Goten. She looked so beautiful. I was always clueless about women and their feelings, but seeing your mother in a wedding dress caused a strange feeling on me back then. You will feel it one day too."
"Adults are so confusing. I wish mom would just take you back."
"Well, you know how your mother is. She means well, though. She doesn't want to hurt Yamcha."
"I guess so."
"Now let's get some sleep. I want to take you and Gohan to the mountains tomorrow so we can do some training."
"That would be awesome, dad! I can't wait."
The seven year old boy lay down on his bed and quickly fell asleep. Goku placed his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling, thinking about everything that happened since he came back to life.

Chi-Chi was sitting on the bed. Her eyes were focused on the wardrobe but she was spacing out actually. Yamcha gently rubbed her arm to catch her attention.
"Are you mad at me?" She finally talked.
"Why?"
"For letting Goku stay."
"No, I'm not." He sat up and lifted her chin with his hand, forcing her to look at him. "You didn't really have a choice. You couldn't refuse your son's request. I understand it."
"So you're not upset?"
"Not at all." He paused. "If I want to be with you I need to start trusting you."
She gave a soft smile. "Thanks, Yamcha. I appreciate that."
"You're more than welcome."
Yamcha looked intently into Chi-Chi's dark eyes as he caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. She was finding it hard to control the blushing that was appearing on her face. He then moved his face closer to hers and started making a trail of kisses around her neck. Chi-Chi held him as tight as she could with her left hand, almost digging her nails into his back and ruffled his hair with her right one. He brought her closer to him as his lips found her own one. Yamcha kissed her briefly and pulled away to make sure he could go on. Chi-Chi stared at him for some seconds before leaning herself over her and capturing his lips in a passionate and long kiss. He wrapped his arms around her as gently placed her on the bed and started taking his clothes off.

Goku took Gohan and Goten to the mountains very early the following morning. Chi-Chi didn't even see them leaving, she was busy doing something in the attic. The youngest Son was taking a break from practicing and watched his father fight with his brother.
"Did you guys sleep last night? I really couldn't."
"I was grossed out with the screams and moans. Mom shouldn't have sex when we're in the house."
"I agree with you, it was disgusting."
Goku hit Gohan in the face. He was in a really bad mood since he woke up. "Come on, son. Focus."
"Sorry, dad. I was distracted talking to Goten."
"Less talking and more practicing."
"What is wrong, dad?" Goten asked. "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
"And I'm not."
"So I assume you didn't like to hear mom having sex, right?"
"Let's just continue our practice. You aren't as agile as you used to be, Gohan."
"That's because I stopped training after I defeated Cell."
"You shouldn't have. You could be stronger than me now."
"Yeah, but things got really tough after you left. I hardly had time to do anything else other than studying. And when I did, I would help mom with the housework because she was pregnant."
Goku didn't say anything but Gohan could tell he was pissed. He threw some punches towards his father and then decided to stop.
"Goten, it's your turn."
"I'm tired, Gohan. I don't think I can fight anymore."
"Yeah, I'm kinda tired too."
"I'm hungry. I didn't even get to eat a proper breakfast."
"Let's fly home. Maybe there are some leftovers."
"Alright."
"Dad, are you coming?" Gohan asked. "I know you never pass mom's food."
"I will be right there, son. You two can go. I need to do something first."
"Okay."
"Are you okay, dad?"
"I'm fine, Goten. I just need to be alone for a while."
"Alright then."
The siblings flew towards their house as fast as they could.

"Damn, the phone had to ring now?" Chi-Chi mumbled as she tried to find her way out of some boxes.
She rushed downstairs quickly to answer it but it stopped ringing when she grabbed it.
"We need a wireless phone. It's a good thing we have call ID." She pressed the button to see who it was. "Oh it's Bulma. I actually need to talk to her."
She sat down on the couch and dialed Bulma's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Bulma. Did you call me?"
"Yeah, I did."
"What's up?"
"We haven't talked for a while so I wanted to see how you were."
"That's true. I'm doing good."
"That's good to hear."
"Bulma, I need to talk to you."
"Alright. You can talk."
"Not like this. It's a personal thing."
"Chi-Chi, you're scaring me. Did something happen with you or one of the boys?"
"No. Well, not exactly. It's not something bad. I mean, it is."
"Okay, now you're confusing me."
"I'm sorry." She took a deep breath. "Hold on, I can tell you from my room, then Gohan and Goten won't listen to it."
"Sure."

"Geez, she didn't even tidy the table. Something is wrong with mom."
"I know! She never starts her chores without cleaning the kitchen first."
"Oh well. I'm starving, so let's eat before she decides to show up and clean it."
"Sounds like a good idea." Goten agreed. "The house is too quiet though. Is she really home?"
"She's probably in her room, or in the attic."
"Maybe." The seven year old boy went back to eating.
"Dad!" Gohan said as he glanced over the door.
"Where's your mother?"
"We don't know." Goten replied. "We haven't seen her since we came back."
"Want to join us?"
"No, thanks. I need to talk to Chi-Chi."
The boys watched their father leaving and then looked at each other. It was definitely an unusual scene, especially for a Saiyan.

"Bulma, I'm so confused."
"What happened, Chi-Chi?"
"I need help."
"Well, I won't be able to help you unless I know what's going on."
"It's Goku."
"What about him?"
"I can't be in the same room as him anymore."
"Why not?" Bulma asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Because it's not good."
"Are you two fighting again?"
"No, it's quite the opposite."
"Then what's the problem?"
"The problem is that I don't think I'll be able to control myself with him around all the time."
The scientist had to smile and decided to play dumb, to see if her friend would admit her feelings for Goku.
"What do you mean exactly?"
"You know what I mean." Chi-Chi sighed. "I'm afraid I do something stupid."
"Like kiss him? Have sex with him?"
"Yeah." She said shyly.
"Well, do you want to kiss him?"
"I don't know, Bulma. But I'm starting to feel attracted to him again, I know it. My heart beats faster and my legs lose balance whenever I'm around him."
"So why don't you just dump Yamcha and get back with Goku?"
"Because I can't hurt him. If I break up with him, he'll be really upset."
"Right. And you'd rather be miserable the rest of your life because of that? Chi-Chi, Yamcha will get over it. He's an adult. This isn't the end of the world. Hell, he was upset when I broke up with him too but eventually he moved on. And look what happened? We're still friends."
"But how can you be sure the opposite won't happen with me and him?"
"Because I've known Yamcha since I was sixteen. So I know how he's like."
"Okay." Chi-Chi said uneasily. "There's something else I need to tell you."
"Shoot."
"I kissed him."
"Chi-Chi, you're dating him so it's normal to kiss him."
"Not Yamcha, Bulma. Goku."
"What?" Bulma almost dropped her phone. "You did what?"
"I kissed him." The brunette smiled widely. "And it felt amazing."
"See what I'm talking about? Break up with Yamcha and get back with the man you're in love with."
"Bulma."
"Come on, Chi-Chi. Stop being so stubborn. You need to put your happiness first."
"I can't do that."
"Sure you can."
"No, I can't. I may pass as insensitive if I do that. I can't be the one to break his heart. I wouldn't be able to live with it."
"Are you serious? Would you feel that bad if you did it?"
"Yes."
"I have a solution for you then."
"A good one, I hope."
"Make him break up with you."
"Bulma!"
"That way you wouldn't feel bad."
"That's not an option." Chi-Chi said loudly.
"But Chi-Chi, you said you can barely hold yourself when you're around Goku."
"That doesn't mean I want to break up with Yamcha."
"Well, you can't have both. You have to choose one. Either way someone will lose. If you stay with Yamcha no one will be fully happy. But if you take Goku happy, everyone will be happy. You, him, Gohan and Goten. So you need to consider both options."
"I know."
"Now I want to ask you something."
"Okay."
"Can you admit you're in love with Goku?"
"I don't know."
Goku was walking towards his old bedroom but stopped when he heard Chi-Chi's voice. He tried not to make any noise so he could listen to the conversation.
"No one else will know. You can say it."
"Alright. I'm in love with Goku."
The Saiyan's eyes widened and he could barely hold his smile and excitement.
