Goten had the day off and decided to visit his brother at Mount Pao and knew he would be home today. Knocking on the door, he waited a minute or two. When he got no answer, he concentrated on his brother's ki and transported to where Gohan was, which was his room.

'Kami, he's sleeping. I don't want to disturb him. I know how hard he works for his family,' he thought as he was about to walk out of the room, his brother called out to him. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you Gohan."

"No," he smiled, as he sat up in bed, "it's ok. I'm glad to see you." He got up and hugs his younger brother. "Let me get dressed and we can go out for breakfast and talk."

"Uh Gohan, it's noon. Don't you mean lunch?"

Gohan laughed. "Oh yeah right. Kami I didn't realize how tired I was."

Gohan got into his car along with Goten, and they headed into the city. Gohan stopped at a stoplight and looked at his brother. "You look a little pale. Everything ok?"

"Yeah, don't worry it's just from blood loss."

"Blood loss!" exclaimed Gohan.

"I—I rather not go into," Goten blushed as he looked away from his big brother and out the window.

"Is it something saiyan?"

"You could say that."

Gohan parked, they got of the car, and Goten followed Gohan into a fancy restaurant, which made Goten feel nervous. After they placed their orders with the waiter, Goten started off the conversation.

"How's mom?"

"I can tell she feels terrible about what happened, but I'm afraid if I even talk to her, I'm going to yell at her," he sighed, "it just won't solve anything."

"I know eventually I'm going to have to confront her about what happened. That's what my therapist says, but I'm still hurt by what she did."

"Trunks says you're doing well in therapy."

"Yeah," he smiled. "I'm learning to love myself again. I'm not quite at the point of forgiving mom yet but someday I hope."

"I'm glad. I know it hasn't exactly been easy for you growing up without a dad for seven years and putting up with mom and grandpa when I moved into my own home."

"Why do you think grandpa is sticking around this time? Usually he's off on one of his adventurous trips."

"Mostly for mom, otherwise I'm not sure."

"Well you know how he likes to control things in the family a lot of the time when we were young."

"So he did give you the love, marriage, and sex talk?"

"When I hit puberty, yeah it was very uncomfortable."

"Well he can't control our lives anymore Goten," Gohan smiled as their lunch came to the table. "Now, it's time to eat!"

Gohan was right. They were free. Goten smiled and ploughed through his food at such a fast pace that gasps of amazement and disgust could be heard.

After a few hours of walking around the city with his older brother, Goten agreed to go with him to Hercule's home. Once they were inside, the butler led the two brothers into the living room to see Hercule watching old marshal arts videos of him fighting opponents.

"Well someone thinks highly of themselves," said Gohan as he smiled, causing Hercule to blush.

"I'm proud of my accomplishments. I'm not ashamed."

"You put on one hell of a show," said Goten.

"Well," he smiled, "it's good to see you doing well Goten. Always glad someone's on my side."

"Uncle Goten!" a young, female voice exclaimed.

"Hey Pan." He said as she gave him a tight hug. He looked up from his niece to see Videl right behind her. "Hi Videl, are you living here now?"

Videl looked to her husband and then back to Goten. "We couldn't very well live next to your mother, knowing what she did to you. It makes me angry just thinking about it, and I've been yelling at your mother. Gohan decided this was for the best for right now anyway."

"I'm sorry this happened."

"It's not your fault Goten," said Videl.

"Yeah, we're behind you 100% uncle."

Goten sat next to Hercule on the couch. "I appreciate all the support, I really do but—

"You feel you need to take responsibility for your mistakes."

"Exactly, how did—He looked from his lap to see a smiling Trunks walking into the room. Goten smiled. "I should have known."

"Well who knows you better than me chibi," he said as he sat next to Goten on the couch.

"You got off work early?"

"Yep," he smiled, "and now I'm all yours," he said taking his hand in his.

"Well, aren't you two just adorable," Vegeta smirked as Bulma, Bulla, and Uub walked into the room.

"What's going on?" asked Goten in suspicion.

"What, we all can't be in one room together because we love you?" asked Bulma.

"Sure that's possible but I'm in the room with some pretty devious people," said Goten.

"True," Trunks smirked. "Anyway my mother gathered us here because she has something to announce."

"The police have found the guy who so calls himself a therapist," said Bulma. "They're bringing him here to answer for his crimes. No witnesses have come forward. They're too scared of him." She looked at her son and Goten. "You two are the only ones strong enough to come forward."

"Nothing gives me more satisfaction then taking that monster down," said Trunks.

"I'm game," said Goten as he sighed. "Besides, he's hurt a lot of people and some of them he killed. I can't let him get away with that."

"Kami I'm so proud of you both," said Bulla. "It can't be easy getting up on the stand and talking about what he did."
