A month.

Gohan has been living on the Lookout for a month. Sure the bars were great, but Pan did not know how to walk yet, let alone crawl. Gohan did, however, manage to fall off the Lookout a few times because he would trip on the bars. It came up to his knees, so when he ran to get to school he would hit the bars before he could jump off.

Videl still was Videl, and she did not remember what happened a week ago. She didn't, however, like the idea of Gohan and Sharpener being 'best friends.' One, Sharpener had a kid and he was always Mr. Mucho. He wasn't the smartest guy in class, and he was always flirting around with other girls. If he wanted to work out his relationship then why is he flirting around with other girls? Did they know he carried luggage?

Then there was Gohan.

Videl couldn't put a finger on it. There was something about him…something that he was hiding. She did some research to find out where he lives. So today she went over, and met Chi-Chi. Of course, Chi-Chi was slightly puzzled on why a girl came to her house looking for Gohan. She though Gohan didn't have any girlfriends, although she was rather happy to let Videl in the house.

"Come in," Chi-Chi said opening the door to her house. "I'm sorry to say that Gohan doesn't live here anymore."

"Why," Videl asked. She walked by a few pictures on glancing at them.

"I kicked him out." Videl stopped in her tracks. Chi-Chi walked over to the sink and washed her hands. She then grabbed a tea pot and filled it up with water. She placed the full pot on the top of the stove and turned on the fire. She wiped her hands on her apron and smiled up at Videl. "He's a grown man with responsibly on his shoulders. He needed a change anyway. So, you're a friend of Gohan's?"

"Yes," Videl said still standing there. Well, they weren't really friends but she wanted some information on him. "We have the same class."

"That's a relief. The only friend I knew he had was Sharpener. Nice guy, cute kid."

"You've seen his son," Videl questioned.

"They have play dates all the time," Chi-Chi said taking off the steaming pot of water off the stove. Chi-Chi blinked a few times. Why would a friend of Gohan's ask that? If they were friends, then Videl should know about Pan. "How close are you with Gohan?"

Videl blinked. She had to think fast. If Gohan talked about Sharpener and not about her then his mother would catch on. Videl didn't want Chi-Chi to know that she was snooping around.

Videl took a quick glance at the picture frames. She noticed a picture of Gohan's father, Goku. She knew that about him through research, and knew he was one of the world's greatest fighters.

"I'm the daughter of Hercule Satan," Videl said. She saw Chi-Chi just nodded. Oh no, this wasn't' working. Videl had to think, and she had to think fast even if it meant lying. "And…Gohan is a fighter?"

She didn't mean it to be a question; it just came out that way. It's hard thinking up a good lie, especially one in front of Chi-Chi.

"He doesn't fight much anymore," Chi-Chi said grabbing some tea bags. "Now his father," she smiled, "he always loved to fight. I think he liked food more than fighting."

"Son Goku was a great fighter," Videl said with a smile. 'I'm getting on her good side.'

"He didn't have the brains though," Chi-Chi said with a smile. She had the tea ready and placed them on the table. The phone rang. "People call at the worst time. Excuse me."

Chi-Chi walked past Videl and grabbed the phone. She answered it, smiled at Videl, and walked into the next room. With Chi-Chi gone Videl could look at the pictures more.

She saw a baby picture of Gohan, and let out a small giggle. What a funny hat he was wearing. There was a picture of Gohan and a little Goku next to him in another picture. Videl could only guess that it was his little brother. Videl blinked.

There was one photo showing Gohan, but a shadow was covering over someone. She went to grab for it, but a voice broke out and she stood straight.

"Mom!"

Videl recognized that voice.

'He's going to kill me,' Videl thought.

"I'm on the phone with Bulma," Chi-Chi yelled. "You have company anyway."

"Company," you heard Gohan question.

Videl froze. She could hear Gohan's footsteps coming into the kitchen and slowly walked backwards.

Too late.

Gohan saw her, and he was quite shocked. Videl's elbow hit the table, and one of the tea glasses knocked over, hitting her thigh with boiling hot water. She winced in pain. Gohan quickly walked over, ignoring the broken glass on the ground, and checked out her burn. He lifted her up on the table, and pushed the broken glass and hot tea aside. He then grabbed a cloth and went to the sink. He turned on the cold water then placed the cloth underneath. He walked back to Videl and placed the cold cloth on her thigh.

"Ow," Videl weakly said.

"Well of course it's going to hurt," Gohan said taking Videl's hand and placing it on the cloth. "Now hold it here. We have some burn cream in the bathroom that I'm going to get."

Videl nodded as Gohan stood up. He looked back at the mess and kicked it more aside as if nothing ever happened. Videl giggled. Gohan looked at her and she stopped.

"Sorry," She said with her head down and her cheeks turning red. "I-I can be clumsy sometimes."

Gohan just nodded as he headed towards the bathroom. Chi-Chi was standing in his bedroom, which was his and Goten's, as she watched Gohan walk by.

"I'm telling you Bulma," Chi-Chi whispered. "There's a girl in the house that Gohan is friendly with."

"No way," you could hear Bulma say on the other end of the phone. "He hates girls."

"But there's one right here," Chi-Chi whispered loudly. "She's the daughter of Hercule."

"What do you mean she's the daughter of Hercule," Bulma yelled. Chi-Chi had to pull the phone away from her ear. She heard footsteps coming out of the bathroom. "Shhh, I hear him coming."

Gohan walked by his mother and rolled his eyes. She can be crazy sometimes.

"I see wedding bells," Gohan heard her whisper into the phone. He shook his head. There were no wedding bells with Videl.

Videl was still sitting on the table using a pair of scissors to cut off a piece of her black spandex legging, right where she was burned. The wet wash cloth was in a bowl of ice water that Videl managed to find. She winced as the sharp end of the scissors touched her inflamed skin.

"Scissors are bad," Gohan said placing Triple Antibiotic ointment and a bandage on the table. He moved her hands out of the way and tore it himself. He threw the spandex material on the ground. He then grabbed the cold wet cloth and patted the burn a bit.

"It's cold," Videl said, "but it burns."

"Hot water does that," Gohan said as he grabbed the Triple Antibiotic ointment. He twisted off the cap and squeezed the bottle. The clear jell landed on his middle and pointer finger then he proceeded to rub it on the burn. Videl winced. "Don't be a baby."

"I can't help it," Videl spat. "I rather have stitches than to be burned."

"Stitches," Gohan questioned with a raised eyebrow. "How many stitches have you had?"

"Twelve on my back," Videl said with her nose in the air. "I was stabbed while crime fighting."

"I beat that," Gohan said placing her leg over his shoulder. He grabbed the bandage and started to wrap it around her thigh. "I had twenty stitches on my head."

"Prove it."

Gohan looked up at Videl. He moved his hair around a bit, and used his fingers to find the scar. He did find it, on the right side of his head just above the ear.

"I use my head a lot," Gohan said as Videl looked at his scar. "I got it when I was about six-ish. I…uh…fell off a mountain."

"A mountain," Videl exclaimed. Gohan nodded as he went to finish the bandage. "How can a six year old fall off a mountain."

"Um…I guess you can say I went ape," Gohan said with a slight chuckle.

Wait…did Gohan just…laugh a little?

(For those who really don't understand, it was when Gohan went into his giant ape form the third time in the Saiyan Saga and crushing Vegeta as he fell.)

"And your done," Gohan said wiping his hands on his pants. Videl got off the table, and spilled the ice cold water on her foot, breaking another one of Chi-Chi's dishes.

"I'm so sorry," Videl bowed with her face red.

"You really are clumsy," Gohan said placing his hands on his hips. "I guess we have to clean up both messes."

Five minutes later, and ten band-aids for Videl's ten fingers, later the mess was cleaned up…along with some of Videl's blood.

"At least the water watered down the blood a bit," Videl said cleaning up the liquid mess. Gohan did have her help pick up the broken pieces, but when she cut nine fingers he told her to clean up water. He missed one piece, and when Videl was wiping she got scratched by it on her last finger…the pinky. Gohan did, however, have that extra band-aid ready. "I'm really sorry!"

"Things here get broken all the time," Gohan said throwing the last piece of glass in the trashcan. "So…why are you at my house?"

Videl looked up at Gohan. Those eyes…those dark, lonely eyes. Those eyes hid a secret, and she wanted to know what it was. She just didn't know that she needed the key…the key to Gohan's heart! (Sounds lame actually.)

"I um," Videl started to say. She was actually waiting for an interruption, just like on TV. Sadly, nothing was happening. So instead of a lie she decided to tell the truth. "I'm curious about you!"

"Wow…honestly. You don't see that much."

"I just want to know why your best friends with a jock and not me!"

Videl clamped her mouth shut. Gohan raised an eyebrow at her and blinked. Her cheeks turned red.

"You wanna be my friend," Gohan asked, even though it did sound childish. Well, hanging around a baby most of your time does make you sound soft. But the way he said it shocked Videl. No rude snappy come-back, no fingers in the air, and no cold eyes that pierced through her skin. Instead his eyes were soft, and he looked like a kid himself.

"Well…yeah," Videl mumbled. She wasn't going give him attitude about it. Fair trade you can say. No cocky attitude and no middle fingers. "It's not fair. You and Sharpener always look like you're having a good time. It's the only time I see you smile." She looked over at Gohan and smiled. "You've become nicer in the past month."

"Moving helped a bit," Gohan said placing his hand behind his head. He stood up, since he was kneeling on the ground. "You'd be surprised on a change of scenery can do to someone."

"Where do you live now?"

Before Gohan could answer, he heard a baby cry. His eyes went wide.

"Gohan," you heard little Goten yell from a closed door. He had to yell loud, Pan was screaming her head off. "Bulma said she can't take it anymore!"

Gohan quickly ran out of the room and opened the front door. As soon as Pan saw Gohan she stopped crying. She reached her little tiny hands out for Gohan. Goten lifted Pan up in the air, and Gohan swooped her in his arms. No more crying was heard. Goten fell flat to the ground on his rear. Nimbus was right next to him.

"Did she cry a lot," Gohan asked placing Pan on his chest. Pan's head was over his shoulder as his hands were holding her bottom.

"A lot," Goten said making a face. "This is what happens when you don't share. She started crying as soon as Piccolo dropped her off. He said that once Mr. Popo left for business with Dendae she started crying, so he took her to Bulma's house where Vegeta packed his bags and said he was staying at a hotel."

"Sorry Goten," Gohan said. Goten nodded his head. He folded his arms and crossed his legs. "What?"

"She pooped on me."

Gohan couldn't help but smile. Videl appeared at the door and saw Gohan talking to…well she didn't really know. She did, however, see the little baby he was holding on his shoulder. Of course, Pan saw her and started reaching her arms to Videl. Gohan noticed his daughter reaching further away from him. He turned around and saw Videl standing by the door, and Pan turned around to see Videl again.

"What a cute baby," Videl said walking up to Gohan. His face was getting pale. What the hell was he supposed to tell her? "Is this the child you baby-sit for?"

Gohan sighed in relief.

"Sorta," he said relieved that she didn't know. Videl walked up next to Pan.

"Can I hold her," Videl asked. Pan was trying to get closer. Gohan smiled as he heard Pan grunting trying to reach over to Videl.

"She'll start crying if I pull her away," Gohan said. He handed Pan to Videl making sure that she knew how to hold a baby. Videl stuck out her tongue when she got a hold of Pan. She knew how to hold a baby.

Pan smiled as she looked up at Videl. Her little tiny fists clutched onto Videl's shirt. Gohan continued to smile as Videl held Pan. Usually when someone would hold Pan, she would cry until someone she liked was holding. I.E. Gohan and Mr. Popo. Why Pan liked Mr. Popo Gohan didn't have a clue. Piccolo handed Pan to Mr. Popo when she was having a screaming day, then she just stopped. Now Mr. Popo was Pan's official baby sitter. Piccolo couldn't be any happier.

"You're suck a good baby yes you are," Videl said lifting Pan up in the air. She couldn't help but laugh as Pan laughed her baby laugh and wave her hands up in the air. "Look at you, you're flying!"

Goten tugged on Gohan's pant leg. He was now standing up next to Gohan.

"What," Gohan asked.

"Is that lady going to be Pan's new Mommy," Goten asked. Videl stopped and placed Pan on her shoulder when she heard that. She looked over at Gohan, who didn't look so well.

His eyes…his onyx eyes…they were so sad. Videl looked down at the baby in her hands. She looked up at Gohan and her eyes went wide. Was this baby…his?

'No,' Videl thought as she let Pan play with her finger. 'He's just a baby-sitter…but I have been wrong before.'

"Wedding Bells," Chi-Chi came storming out in her wedding dress, ignoring the evil glare Gohan shot at her. "Gohan and Videl Son! It's so perfect!"

"So she is going to be Pan's new Mommy," Goten cried. He had on that famous Son grin. "You can be a family again Gohan!"

'No,' Gohan shouted in his head. "NO!"

Chi-Chi stopped where she was, and Goten's smiled faded. Videl merely stood there trying to figure out what exactly was going on. Pan had her mouth open staring into space, or the sun for that matter. She didn't have a clue, and I don't think she cared either. She was just happy being in Videl's arms.

"No wedding," Chi-Chi asked breaking the silence. Gohan was getting frustrated.

"You," Gohan shouted pointing to Chi-Chi, " and you," pointing to Goten, "in the house NOW!"

Chi-Chi lifted her dress a few inches off the ground. She stuck her nose up in the air as she walked into the house. Goten followed his mother's example and stuck his nose up in the air. Gohan waited until the door closed before he made any contact.

'Great,' he thought. 'Piccolo's not here to erase her memory again. What am I supposed to do now?"

"Is she yours," Videl asked. Gohan turned his head, but gave a small nod. "She's so cute!" She lifted Pan up in the air and twirled around. Pan started laughing again and Gohan stood there with a blank expression on his face. "And here I though you and Sharpener were an item! No wonder you guys get along so well! Look at your cute little nose. It's so tiny!"

Gohan heaved a sigh, a very heavy, happy sigh.

"You won't tell anyone will you," Gohan asked. Videl placed Pan on her hip and smiled.

"Only under one condition," Videl said with an evil like smirk.

'Oh great,' Gohan thought. 'She's going to blackmail me.'

"Anything," Gohan huffed. He slouched his shoulders in defeat.

"I get to hang out with you," she said. Gohan blinked. It wasn't as bad as he thought. "And Pan."

Okay…worse.

Gohan nodded his head. He'll remind Piccolo to erase her memories later. Gohan looked at Pan and put on a half smile. If she didn't cry when Videl held her then maybe he'll hang out with her…a forced hang out.

Pan saw her father and smiled. She turned her head to see what was in front of her. Her little tiny hands grouped onto Videl's breast and tried to eat it. Videl's face turned red, but not as red as Gohan's was. He walked over to Videl with his head down and grabbed Pan out of her arms. He raised his child to his eye level.

"She doesn't have the right…equipment," Gohan said with his face a very, deep, red.

"I better go," Videl said walking past Gohan. He merely nodded. "See you at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah," Gohan said as he turned around. He turned to his daughter and kissed her on the forehead. "Say bye Pan."

Pan looked at Videl. She did a small clapping motion with her little hand. That put a big smile on Gohan's face, and Videl saw that.

'So that's what makes you smile,' Videl thought heading to her chopper. She hopped in and flew off. Of course, one thing lingered in her mind as she flew.

'Where's the mother?'

Yeah, Videl knows now. . But how will he tell Videl about her?

Yep! Review time!
