A Fight That Turns Into A Lot More

Also, I will be adding more modern touches to the son residence.
Chapter 12:
"This was my eldest son's room," Chi-Chi explained to Kefla as she opened the door which led into the room.
Kefla looked all around as she followed Chi-Chi in the room, analyze every inch of the room.
It wasn't bad actually. Nothing spectacular for sure, but it was well kept and adequately sized.
"its very nice", Kefla commented.
"Thank you," Chi-Chi set a pair of sheets along with a cover on to the bed, "as a mother I try to make sure my son's have the best environment to grow up in."
She looked at Kefla, "its a lot of hard work, but you get used to it after a while. Especially because I love them with my very being."
Kefla nodded awkwardly and continued to observe the room.
"What was your eldest son's name if you don't mind me asking?", Kefla asked.
Chi-Chi walked over to a desk that was positioned by the window. She placed a hand on and appeared to reminisce with a smile on her face.
She then looked at Kefla again, "you probably saw him with my husband. I'll be honest with you, I am very ignorant when it comes to whatever they decide to run themselves into."
Kefla was caught a little off guard when Chi-Chi's eyes flashed and her lips formed into a scowl.
"But my Gohan is more than just a fighter. He is a bright young man who has made quite a life for himself."
Chi-Chi looked back at the desk again, and Kefla saw her smile again.
"At one time, my husband and I had similar perceptions when it came to hard work. But that changed drastically when I first got pregnant. I realized that if you truly want something in this world for yourself than it can't come from what others have set in stone for you."
She looked back at Kefla, "Mind over body is what I always go by, and if you were to see how my son has turned out then it would become more understandable about where I come from. I personally have nothing against your race, but when it interferes with my responsibility as a mother and wife that when it becomes a problem."
With that Chi-Chi walked towards the door, "I'm sure you want some time to get settled in. Dinner will be ready shortly."
After taking in all of what Chi-Chi said, Kefla could only nod and say, "okay, thank you."
When Chi-Chi left, Kefla closed the door.
Turning back, she went over to the bed and pushed the clothing for it aside.
It was only then when she allowed fatigue to set in and collapsed in an exhausted heap on the bed.
Sighing, Kefla buried her head into the mattress.
Later,
Dinner with Goku and his family wasn't really that bad if Kefla had to admit it.
Goten, the eager one that he was, got Kefla up from the slight snooze she had taken by surprising her with a sudden leap onto her bed. He brought her down to the kitchen were she was surprised to see the table filled with tons of delicious food that the other woman had somehow prepared within a short amount of time. Goku was already there, so once everything was settled in and Chi-Chi gave the word she and her fellow Saiyans did what Saiyans did.
Afterwords, when Goku was helping his son get ready for bed, Kefla stayed behind to help Chi-Chi clean up. The other was grateful for the assistance, but still did not say much to Kefla as they worked. Kefla was okay with this, it wasn't like there was anything relatable the two of them could talk about anyway.
When Kefla finished helping Chi-Chi out, she retreated to her room.
There she began to settle down for the night.
It was only when she finished making the bed ready that there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Kefla called before standing up to face the door.
"Hey Kefla."
It was Goten.
Kefla brightened a bit upon seeing him, "hey Goten what's up."
Goten walked up and Kefla noted that the boy was already clad in his pajamas.
"Shouldn't you be in bed by now?", Kefla asked.
Goten pouted at her words, "hey I may be short, but I not a kid."
Kefla had to smile and rub the boy's head, "okay I'm sorry. So, what do you need?"
"I just came by to ask how you were?"
Kefla observed Goten for a second, "I doing all right why do you ask?"
Goten looked at her, "you looked a little sad during dinner. I could sense there was something troubling you greatly."
Kefla was shocked by this, "you could sense how I was feeling?"
Goten laughed nervously, "yeah I didn't mean to honest. But sometimes it just happens by accident."
Kefla smirked, "I don't buy it, but I appreciate your concern. And so you came by to make sure everything was okay?"
Goten nodded.
Kefla patted Goten on the shoulder, "don't worry yourself over it I'm fine. Hardships are always difficult to get over but that is why we are Saiyan. That stuff will pass if we want it to."
Goten nodded again.
Kefla smiled and turned, "you better get going, your mother will probably get angry for why your not in bed and I don't want you to get in trouble on my account."
"Okay, thanks Kefla," Goten said.
"No problem, kid."
Goten groaned and told her not to say that.
Kefla laughed and apologized to Goten, but the boy still made Kefla swear up and down that she wouldn't do it again.
"there you are Goten, your mother was starting to get worried!", a voice said that made Kefla and Goten look up.
It was Goku.
"Come on son I better get you to bed before your mother gets on us", Goku teased.
Goten nodded, "okay Dad."
The boy retreated from the room, and Goku watched, waiting until the boy was out of sight before turning back to face Kefla.
"You sure he's your son," Kefla joked. "It feels like I'm dealing with a full on duplicate of you."
Goku laughed and assured Kefla that was not the case.
"Your right though, it is a little unbelievable the amount we share in similarity," Goku said.
He didn't speak for a second and Kefla had to ask him, "is everything all right?"
"Of course", Goku assured. "I not very good at these kinds of things but I just wanted to see how you were doing."
Kefla sat on her bed, "your son already asked me that. You know I think you pointed out a difference between the two of you right there."
Goku put a finger to his head mockingly, "of course, your such a genius."
Kefla had to laugh, "don't get so hotheaded, it was only a joke."
"I know, I was only joking to," the both had to share a laugh.
Goku put a hand on the doorway, "but really though, how are you feeling?"
Kefla looked at him before sighing.
"I don't know really. I mean its only been a short while so there is still a great pain there. However something else came across my mind. Its..."
Goku walked into the room and took a seat beside her. "Its okay", he assured her, "you can tell me."
Kefla put her head down and sighed again, "its. I really don't know, there is a feeling in me other that the pain and I starting to believe that's it guilt."
Confused, Goku asked her what she meant by guilt.
Kefla looked back up at him, and Goku could see that she was trying to fight back tears.
"I'm a fusion," she spat the word out like it was poison. "I wasn't supposed to be here forever. My counterparts only used me as a last resort and even then it proved to be of a wasted effort."
It was at this point where the tears started to flow, "i feel so conflicted."
Goku finally understood what she was telling him, "you feel like guilty because your belief is that you took your counterparts lives away."
Kefla nodded and put an arm over her eyes, the tears were flowing stronger by the second.
"I-", her voice chocked. "I don't understand it. I failed my part but when did that mean I needed to be permanent."
Goku was silent for a moment before he reached with a hand and removed Kefla's arm away from her face.
The look on his face made it hard for Kefla not to look away as he began to speak again.
"Look, I don't understand it either and there is no real for me to understand how you are feeling right now," Goku said. "But I can say this."
Kefla waited.
"It would not seem that way to you now," Goku pointed out, "but I feel partly responsible for what happened at the Tournament of Power, and with this in mine I want you to know that although I failed my promise to you, I won't fail the second time."
He put a hand on Kefla's shoulder, "what I want to know now is, are willing to go along?"
Kefla looked at the hand on her shoulder before then looking back at him.
His words were genuine enough but the his face showed how much he meant it.
Kefla sighed once more but began to nod her head, "okay."
Goku smiled and patted her shoulder, before getting up and walking towards the door.
"My wife is probably wondering where I'm at," Goku apologized.
"It's fine," Kefla said. "There's plenty of time to go around."
Goku agreed to this, "your right, but don't worry. I won't keep you waiting too long."
Kefla smirked, "for what? Oh, you mean to kick your ass in our rematch. I can't wait for that, thanks for reminding me."
Goku smirked right back, "well see about that."
He turned, "well, I leave you be. I'm beat after today as I'm pretty sure you are too."
Before he could leave Kefla called out, "Goku?"
He turned back, "yes?"
"Good night", Kefla said with a smile.
Goku smiled too, "Good night Kefla."
Goku and Chi-Chi's room.
"Goku?"
Goku turned on the light and turned to face his wife, "yeah?"
Chi-Chi was not quick to respond, in fact it looked like she was actually afraid to speak.
Worried, Goku grasped her shoulder gently but anxiously asked her what was wrong.
Chi-Chi sighed, "I wanted to tell you this ever since you got back."
"Tell me what?", Goku asked, "Chi-Chi, whats wrong?"
Chi-Chi took a deep breath before looking at her husband.
Goku could see a tear rolling down her cheek, "uh...Chi-Chi?"
Chi-Chi wrapped her arms around Goku surprising him.
However what stunned him even more were the next words that came from her mouth.
"Goku i'm pregnant!"
