Chapter 21 A new life is born
7, 5 Months have passed. Pan was very nervous because she knew that her baby would be born very soon.
''Uh, Pan, is it okay if I go to the grand elder for a while?
''Yeah, fine, but come back soon okay.''
''I will, see you later.''
Actually, it was the grand elder who asked Goku to go and see him. He had some questions about Pan. Goku instant transmissioned himself towards the grand elder.
''You wanted to see me, grand elder?''
''Yes, um, take a seat, Goku.''
''So, what did you want to talk about?''
''I have some questions about you... and you fiancee, Pan.''
''Uh, okay. What do you want to know?''
''Well, for starters, who is she exactly? Where did you meet her?''
''Oh, uh, well, I met her on Earth, of course, and uhhh'' Goku said before he was interrupted.
''Stop there, Goku. You are lieing to me. I can hear it in your voice. Just tell me the truth.''
Goku was hesitating a bit. He never was a good liar, but he was more worried about what the grand elder would think of him if he knew that Pan was his granddaugther.
''Come on, now. Just tell me. You know you can tell me everything.''
The grand elder saw how much Goku was struggling to tell him the truth.
The grand elder stood up and said: '' You know what, we'll take some other time. When you're ready for it, just stop by and we'll talk.''
''No, wait, grand elder. I... I... I will tell everything.'' Goku said almost in a whisper.
''I'll start from the beginning.''
''Okay, then.'' The grand elder went to sit down again.
''I... I was married once before. Her name was Chichi. We have 2 sons, Gohan and Goten.''
''But what does this have to do with Pan?''
''Well, Pan is the daughter of my first son, Gohan.''
The grand elder was shocked to say the least. He never would've guessed that Pan was Goku's own granddaughter.
''Goku, how could you? She's your... your granddaughter. How could you two even have those feelings for each other? It doesn't make any sense. Wait, the child she's carrying... is it... yours?''
''...Yes.''
''Goku, but that's... that's...''
''Kinda messed up, I know. But please, let me explain.''
''You better have a damn good explanation for this.''
Goku sighed. ''Well, when Pan was born, I was still a adult and...'' Before Goku could explain it any further, he got cut off by the grand elder.
''What do you mean, you were still a adult?''
''I'll get to that, please let me finish. So, Pan was born and I was still a adult. 5 Years later, I left my family to train a boy called Uub. I just wanted to make sure that the planet would be safe if I weren't around anymore. Then, another 5 years later, On a place called Kami's Lookout, a old enemy appeared and summoned the black star dragon. I have told you about them before, right?''
''Yes, you said they could grant you wishes like bringing back the dead.''
''That's right, but he wanted immortality like usual. But I tried to stop them, and he accidently wished for me to be a kid again. That is the reason why I still look so young. Anyways, I decided that it was time to go back home. And boy, were they suprised. Heheheheh. But, the black star dragonballs scattered around the universe and if we didn't brought them back in a year, the Earth would explode. We brought them back in time, but a evil force ruined it again, and Earth exploded anyway. But yeah, so me and Pan had some adventures together, but I know for certain that we didn't have any feelings for eachother at the time. But because I was a kid again, we were growing up together, so we didn't really see each other as grandpa and granddaughter anymore, but more like childhood friends.''
''Hmm, that would explain why it was easy for you two to fell in love.''
''Well, it sure wasn't easy to ignore those feelings, grand elder, believe me. But I know what I feel, and I love her, more than you can possibly imagine.''
''It is true that love works in ways we can't understand.
''Yeah, I know. But, grand elder, I want to ask you something.''
''What is it?''
''I want you to be the one to make it official.''
''What do you mean?''
''I want you to be the one to marry us.''
''You... you want... me to...?''
''Please, grand elder. Pan and I would be so glad if you could do this for us.''
''Ah, well, I... Oh, alright then. After all you've done for us, it's the least I can do.''
''Thank you so much, grand elder.''
Suddenly, Goku felt Pan's ki spike.
''What's wrong, Goku?''
''Something's wrong with Pan. Her ki spiked all of a sudden.''
Goku wanted to instant transmission himself towards Pan, but Kotara appeared before them with instant transmission.
''Goku, Pan has to go to the hospital, quick. She's about to give birth.''
''Really, oh boy, I'm gonna be a daddy again. Grand elder, I'll see you later.''
Goku instant transmissioned himself towards Pan.
''Pan, are you alright?''
''Goku, we need to go to the hospital, quick. My water broke.''
Goku carried Pan and instant transmissioned them to the hospital.
''Quick, we need help. My fiancee is about to give birth.''
A couple of nurses got a hospital bed. Goku placed Pan on the bed and the nurses hurried to the delivery. Goku waited in the lobby nearby the delivery Pan went in. He began to feel a bit nervous as he heard her screaming a bit. He walked back and forth in the lobby.
A few hours later, a doctor came out of the delivery.
''Doc, is everything alright with Pan and the baby?'' Goku asked him worried.
''No need to worry mr. Goku. Everything went alright. Pan and the baby are fine.''
''Whew, well that's a relief. Can I see them?''
''Of course, you can go in. You'll be a bit suprised though.'' The doctor said with a smile on his face.
''Huh? How come?'' Goku asked confused.
''Go in and see for yourself.''
So Goku opened the door and saw Pan with their child in her arms.
''Say, Pan, How are you doing?''
''I have felt better. But it was all worth it.'' Then Pan turned have face to their baby and said: ''Wanna see you daddy?''
Pan gave the baby to Goku and he was kinda shocked. ''He looks exactly... like... like... me. And he also has a tail, just like I used to have.''
Goku held him for a few minutes, feeling so proud of his newborn son until he returned him to Pan.
''So, do you know how to name the kid?'' A nurse asked them.
Pan stared at their newborn child for a bit and then turned her face to Goku and said: ''Yes, I know how to name him.''
''Well, what is it?''
''Son Goku jr.''
