Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ! But this story is inspired by Charismatic Beauty
The sun had already risen to the sky and lit up the West City as well as the fields of the Son family. A few clouds were painted in the sky and occasionally a Capsule Corp plane would fly past the painted blotches.
On this very day our Z heroes were celebrating an important event and were all cheerful as they celebrated a soon to be new life. The lovely fragrance of food lingered out from the kitchen and smiles were seen on each of the Z fighters' faces.
Bulma, Videl and Android 18 were busy to help making the food along with ChiChi who was shining with happiness. It was hard work being a pregnant woman, especially carrying a half-Saiyan but she couldn't be happier.
"ChiChi! Where do I need to put these?" Videl's voice chirped inside the kitchen and ChiChi glanced back at her daughter-in-law. Videl was wearing a red dress with her short hair neatly folded back with a red band.
"You can put those on the main table, outside against the wall" Chichi replied and Videl nodded before she exited the kitchen. ChiChi's attention was drawn back to the rice balls she was busy packing and a smile made it onto her features.
"Is that the last plate?" Bulma asked as she entered the kitchen and ChiChi nodded. She was about to take the plate but Bulma intercepted and took the plate. "Don't worry, I have it. You go relax" ChiChi nodded and followed Bulma to the garden where everyone was seated.
"Let me help you, Mom" Goten offered a hand as ChiChi went to sit down and she smiled at him. "Thank you, Goten" Goten smiled at her as he helped her sit down before he went to sit next to Trunks again.
"The food looks delicious, ChiChi! Can't wait to munch down!" Goku exclaimed and received a small bunch from the female next to him. "Goku! You can't eat now! You'll just have to wait" ChiChi stated and Goku pouted childishly.
ChiChi laughed at Goku's behavior and it was only brief before Goku's smile returned. The others were much like they were and conversed freely. Krillen was conversing with Yamcha and Tien while Chiaotzu played with Pan and Maron.
Vegeta was leaning against the wall of the house with his arms crossed and his usual scowl covered his features. Trunks and Goten were laughing while Gohan conversed with Piccolo and Videl.
"Attention everyone!" Bulma called and everyone silenced as they glanced back at Bulma who had a glass of juice in her hand. "I'd like to make a special toast since we're all here!" Bulma glanced at ChiChi and smiled.
"I'd like to make a toast to my Best of Friends, ChiChi and Goku. Congratulations on your baby and I hope that you have much happiness onwards!" Bulma raised her glass and everyone cheered.
"Goku you better help her out and no saving the world when your baby demands attention" Bulma pointed out sternly and everyone laughed. Goku rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and ChiChi laughed.
"Now, how about you start with the presents?" Bulma suggested and everyone sweat dropped at the blue-haired female who already had a present in her hand. "I bet she wants to gloat on her present being the best" Krillen whispered and Yamcha laughed.
"What did you say Krillen?!" Bulma asked and Kirllen flinched while turning pale. He already had his hands waving in front of him while shaking his head and he was sweating bullets at Bulma's temper.
"N-Nothing!"
ChiChi took the blue colored box and slowly opened it. She removed the tons of paper that was inside before she pulled out a small device. She stared at the several colored buttons and raised an eyebrow in question.
"It's a Baby Monitor that shows you the mood of your baby! So when you don't know what to always do, this should come in handy!" Bulma stated with a proud smile and a wink. "Thank you, Bulma. I'll be sure to use it" ChiChi thanked and a smug grin made it onto Bulma's lips.
Everyone sweat dropped at her behavior but said none of it. ChiChi moved onto the next present which was wrapped in red paper. "This is Gohan and Videl's present" Goku pointed out and ChiChi giggled at him.
She opened up the present and put the paper next to her before she looked back at the gift she received. There were two small books for educational babies that had ChiChi's eyes lit up and Goku blinked a few times when he saw a blur of orange.
"These are perfect! Thank you, Gohan, Videl!" ChiChi exclaimed before Goku pulled something out beneath the books. He laughed when he saw it was a small orange suit that resembled his own orange outfit that King Kai gave him.
"It's for both you and the baby" Videl stated and everyone laughed while Goku smiled at ChiChi who merely shook her head. "We're going to have a smart fighter" Piccolo pointed out as he glanced at Gohan who laughed at his comment.
The next present that ChiChi pulled out was one that was wrapped in yellow paper. "Who's could this be...?" ChiChi murmured in confusion before seeing 18's smile.
"So, this is yours then, 18?" ChiChi asked and 18 nodded. ChiChi neatly opened the package and her eyes went wide when she saw what was inside. It was a small photo album that had 'Congratulations' written on the cover.
"Just for that every moment you want to remember... It was Krillen's idea" 18 quickly added but Krillen shook his head. "Nope, it was all 18's idea" He corrected and 18 flushed in embarrassment while ChiChi smiled.
"Thank you so much, 18!"
Goku kept staring at the small photo album and saw a small fruit as decoration before his stomach growled loudly. Everyone was silent at the sudden noise before they all burst into laughter.
"Goku!" ChiChi was about to scold him but laughed instead. "I think it's only fair if everyone ate. We'll continue the presents when everyone has something to eat" ChiChi stated and Goku grinned widely at her.
"Agreed!"
It was definitely a day to remember with everyone's laughter and smiles. The baby presents that were given were all one of a kind and ChiChi was relieved to have everyone enjoying themselves.
She couldn't wait for the life that was slowly developing in her tummy to be born and knew that the little life inside her gave everyone new excitement. She could be a mother again and enjoy the joy of bringing up a child once again.
