Author's note: So this chapter might be a little depressing….I've had a very long and bad day….it might come out in my writing…lol Please keep on reading and reviewing and everyone who has, Thanks a lot!! It was keeps me writing this story

"Gohan!" Goku yelled as he plowed through the door not even bothering to open it. He kneeled down beside his son's bed and grabbed one his hands as the other one was clutching the sheet. Gohan was breathing heavy and his eyes kept on fluttering open and closed.

"Gohan, can you hear me??" Goku yelled desperate to get Gohan to calm down. Gohan's eyes at least stopped fluttering when he heard his dad's voice but he was still gripping the sheet and breathing very heavily.

"Daddy, why is my heart hearting, I can hardly breath, and it hurts to talk." Gohan asked with his voice barely a whisper.

Goku reached down and felt his forehead with the back of his hand, "Damn son, your forehead feels like its on fire." Goku sat up to go and see if he could find something to get his sons fever down when Gohan grabbed his arm.

"Daddy, please don't leave me, it hurts really bad to breath and I need you here."

Tears started forming in Goku's eyes as he leaned back down so that he was eye level with Gohan, "I have to go and find something to get that fever down, your mom is also still over at the house and I should give her a call to let her know what is going on, she might want to be here."

Gohan shook his head, "No dad, please just stay with me, I don't think I can survi..." But he was cut off as he started having a coughing fit.

Goku took that opportunity to leave the room; he knew that Gohan would probably be mad at him but he didn't care. He needed to find something that would take his fever down and he had to call Chi-Chi; she would be very upset if she found out that Gohan was getting worse and she didn't know about it. He took a deep breath and forced all of the tears that were forming in his eyes away. When he saw Bulma walking in the living he ran up to her.

"Bulma, could you go into Gohan's room and stay there until I get back from calling Chi-Chi, oh and he has a very high fever and is getting really scared so is there anything that you can give him to get that fever down?"

Bulma looked up at Goku's face and almost had to brace herself so she wouldn't fall down, she had never seen Goku look so scared, "Of course, let me go into the kitchen and get some medicine." She then took off to where she was just at.

Goku ran over to the phone that was hanging on the living room wall and was about to dial when he heard Gohan scream for the second time and dropped the phone not caring about calling Chi-Chi at the moment. He ran back into the room and when he saw Gohan breathing heavily again, he ran over and pulled Gohan to him and started rubbing his back. (AN-So I really don't like this paragraph, but I couldn't think of any other way to put it….so yeah. Lol)

"Shh….please don't scream Gohan, Bulma should be here soon to help get your fever down, just hang on a little longer." Goku pleaded desperately hoping that Gohan would calm down.

Finally Bulma came running into the room holding onto what looked like a medicine bottle, she kneeled down beside the two sayians and gave a small smile, "Here sweetie, drink this, it should help a lot with that fever of yours."

Gohan took the bottle out of Bulma's hand and slowly drank the contents. He handed the bottle back to Bulma still not uttering a sound. He looked up at his dad who was looking at him with a worried expression on his face, he gave him a small smile and pressed his face into his chest and slowly closed his eyes, in seconds he was fast asleep. Goku looked over at Bulma who just shrugged her shoulders. He looked down back at Gohan and just started laughing and for some reason he just couldn't stop.

Bulma looked over at Goku about to tell him to shut up, when the way he was laughing stopped her, it was like he was trying to laugh all of the problems away, while trying to stop the tears that were about to fall from his eyes. She reached up and gently placed her hand on Goku's shoulders, "Hey, why don't you put Gohan back down on the bed, so that he could get some sleep."

Goku looked over at Bulma and the look he had on his face, almost made her burst into tears. He gently sat up and laid Gohan onto his bed; he walked past Bulma without saying anything and went out the door. Bulma wiped away the few tears that had found there way down her face, she looked one last look over at Gohan and was thankful that he was actually able to sleep now. So she kissed him on the forehead and left so she wouldn't wake him up. When she walked out of the room, she expected Goku to be in the kitchen chowing down on the food that she keeps stocked in her kitchen just in case he was about to show up, but what she didn't expect to see was Goku sitting down on the floor leaning against the wall with his head in his hands. Bulma knew better than to try and cheer him up, when he did get upset which was very rare she knew that he liked to be alone.

Goku looked up when he noticed Bulma's presence and gave her a small smile, "Hey, thanks for giving Gohan that medicine, it's nice to not hear him screaming anymore."

Bulma raised her eyebrows at him, "Goku are you ok?"

Goku gave out a harsh laugh, "Am I ok? Bulma what do you think? My son is in that room suffering and I don't know what to do to help him." He then stood up and started shaking, "I am not sure if I am going to be able to sit next to him in a few days while he is dying, how am I going to be able to look my son in the eyes and tell him goodbye?" He grabbed his hair in his hand and turned around to bang his head on the wall, "I don't know if I can do that, he's my only son Bulma and I love him so damn much. I can't...I just can't live without him in my life, without him by my side." And than the tears started falling down his face and he started crying uncontrollably.

Bulma was about to go over and comfort him but a hand on her shoulder stopped her; she turned around and was shocked that it was Vegeta. He shook his head, "Don't Bulma, he needs to be by himself for a while. The only way that you can help him is to try and find a cure for Gohan."

Bulma nodded her head at him and walked past Vegeta and out of the living room. Vegeta looked over at Goku before he too walked away following Bulma into the lab.

Goku noticed them leave but didn't turn around, instead just started crying even harder, "Gohan can't die, he just can't." He muttered to himself. He gave himself a few more minutes knowing that he had to call Chi-Chi now that Gohan was finally sleeping as peaceful as he could, she would want to be here tonight just in case something were to happen. He shook his head, no nothing was going to happen, Bulma is going to find that cure for his little boy and he was going to be alright. But he knew that Chi-Chi would still want to be here. So with that thought, he removed his head from the wall and wiped away the remaining tears.

Chi-Chi was in Gohan's bedroom packing up a few things that she knew Gohan would want while he was over at Bulma's house when she heard the phone rang. She dropped everything that she was holding and ran over to pick it up before it stopped ringing, when she heard Goku's small hi on the other end she instantly knew something was wrong.

"Goku what is it?"

She could hear Goku take a deep breath before he answered, "its Gohan, he woke up shortly after I put him to bed the first time with a really high temperature."

"Goku how is he now, how is my baby?"

"Well Bulma gave him something to make his fever go away and he fell asleep shortly after, now he is sleeping peacefully or well I hope he is."

Chi-Chi shook her head, she knew that there was more to the story than what Goku was telling her but she didn't push the subject, she knew that Goku didn't want to upset her.

After Goku hung up with his wife, he made his way over to his son's bedroom and walked in quietly so he wouldn't wake him up. He pulled up a chair and sat down in it and looked over at Gohan. Gohan was his whole world, well him and Chi-Chi; he wouldn't be the person he is today if it weren't for those two. He still remembered the day that Chi-Chi had handed over his son to him for the first time.

"Here Goku be very gentle, he is only a day old and very fragile." Chi-Chi told him as she handed over their new born son to his father.

As Goku cradled his son Gohan –as they decided to call him- to his chest, he couldn't help but let a wide grin come across his face, he was so tiny! He gave a little laugh as Gohan opened up his eyes and looked up at his father with wide eyes. Goku looked over at Chi-Chi and smiled, he couldn't believe that this little guy had come out of her body, He looked back down at Gohan and knew at that instant that no matter what he grew up to be his son was going to be on hell of a guy.

Goku smiled a little at the memory, from that first moment that he looked at his newborn son, he knew that he was going to do great wonders to the world. Now that he was able to spend almost 11 years with him, so far he was right. Gohan was growing up to be a wonderful fighter, a loving son and the most caring person he had ever met. Gohan was going to survive this, no matter what Goku had to do to make that happen.
