The sun had just set as the Son family prepared for their weekly dinner. Today they were having it on Mt. Paozu instead of Gohan's house in the city. His mom usually preferred to visit them, but he wanted to come home this time. It had actually been awhile since he'd participated in those dinners or visited his parents.

However, things weren't the same as he remembered. That dysfunctional craziness he missed wasn't there. It had been relatively quiet all day, which was completely out of character for his parents. They loved each other, but their relationship wasn't picture perfect.

Normally he'd have witnessed his mother's unending fury at some point during the day. Especially with the amount of times his dad had been in and out of the house. He'd gone hunting and to the field to get some vegetables for dinner. Her overactive OCD should have been triggered by the mud he was known to track in. But not today. There was nothing. Something was definitely amiss.

At that moment, his father walked through the front door again. He'd gone outside to dispose of the leftover fish and boar carcasses. That's when he saw it.

His father, the one and only Son Goku, actually wiped his feet on the matt. Even crazier, he went to wash his hands. This is a man notorious for touching you with fish hands after a fresh catch. Now, that's not to say it was an impossibility. It just wasn't part of his character. He loved his dad, but even he knew Son Goku wasn't the most considerate person out there.

"Weird isn't it." Goten whispered as he leaned closer.

They were both sitting in the living room watching TV. Pan was busy playing with her toys and Videl had joined his mom in the kitchen. He'd offered to help, but as usual they told him to get out.

"Wait, so this isn't new?" Gohan whispered back.

"Nope, they've been like this for almost 3 months. I honestly don't know if I should be happy or freaked out." Goten said, crossing his arms behind his head.

Gohan smiled at the befuddled expression on his brothers face. It was so much like their fathers. They'll look like twins by the time he's an adult. It's probably why he's started growing his hair out.

"What have they been doing?" He said while leaning over to take a block out of Pan's mouth.

"Nothing! That's the freaky part. It's been normal...and they've been really lovey dovey too." Goten said with a shiver.

Yeah, that was a little disturbing. His parents were definitely not normal. And lovey dovey? Gohan shuddered at the thought. He doubted his father even knew what PDA meant.

"I don't know about that lovey dovey part." Gohan chuckled. Suddenly, Pan jumped on his lap to join in on his laughter. Gohan lifted her up and kissed her belly, causing her angelic giggles to fill the room.

"Hey, I know what I saw bro! They're either stuck together on the couch or smiling at each other in the kitchen. It's gross man! They even go sparring at night!" Goten whisper yelled.

Gohan's laughter died down as he moved Pan back to his lap. "Wait what? In front of the house?"

Goten shook his head. "No, in the forest."

It was moments like these when Gohan cursed being smart. Something wasn't adding up.

"So, they just decided to go sparring? At night? In the forest?" Slowly narrowing his eyes.

"They say they're just going for a walk, but I don't think so. Sometimes dad comes back without his shirt or she'll have leaves in her hair. I just don't get why they do it at night. It's not like anyone would care!" Goten rolled his eyes

Gohan was silently thanking Kami for his brothers innocence. Thankfully he not only inherited his father's looks but also his denseness. Something was going on in the forest and it was NOT sparring.

"You didn't say anything, right?" Gohan whispered

"No, I was gonna say something the other day, but Mom's been sick so I never got the chance." Goten said shrugging his shoulders.

"How long has she been sick?" Gohan said concerned.

Goten thought about it for a moment before speaking. "Just this past week. It hasn't been long. She says it's some kind of bug, but it's pretty gross. She throws up like twice a day. I was kinda worried, but dad says it's fine. I think she's going to the doctor tomorrow."

Something else wasn't adding up, but he wouldn't think about it now. "I guess that's okay. It's best she go and get checked out just to make sure."

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Gohan looked up to see his father walk in the room. All smiles as usual. He immediately opened his arms so Pan could fly to him.

"Hey Kiddo! Whatcha doing?" Goku said as he held her above his head. Gohan smiled as his father's twirled her around.

Goten leaned over and whispered in his ear. " Dad's going with her..."

Gohan smile slowly faded. "To the hospital?"

Goten nodded.

"Around needles?" Gohan said in disbelief.

Goten nodded.

They both looked at their father as he played with Pan. Lifting her on one hand like an air plane.

What the hell...

...

Meanwhile...

Chichi and Videl were putting the finishing touches on dinner. The roast and fish were done so they just needed to set the table

Videl noticed how her mother-in-law struggled with getting the table set up. She was fine up until everything started cooking. That's when she saw a green tinge began to form on her normally creamy skin.

"Are you okay Chichi? You don't look so well." she said reaching over to rub her back.

Chichi took a deep breath before replying. "Oh don't worry about me. I've just had this stomach bug for the last few days." Giving her a daughter in law a tired smile.

"That makes sense. You seemed a little lethargic at the market this morning. I can see the fatigue on your face." Videl said with a furrowed brow.

"Yeah, I was just a bit tired. I'm sure it'll pass." Chichi said, waiving it off.

"Why don't you rest? All the food is done and I just have to set the table. I really don't mind taking care of it." Videl offered.

Chichi scoffed as she put her hands on her hips. "Nonsense! You may be family, but you're still a guest and there's no way I'm...I'm..." Suddenly, Chichi stopped and covered her mouth before running out of the kitchen.

Everyone in the living room immediately looked up as Chichi ran in the bathroom with a worried Videl on her heels.

"Chichi!" Goku yelled before shoving Pan back in Gohan's arms and running after them.

"I got it Goku." Videl said as she closed the door.

Videl rubbed Chichi's back while she chucked the remains of her breakfast in the toilet. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Uugghh! Yep...perfectly fine." Chichi leaned up panting as she flushed the toilet. "Just bad decisions." she murmured, getting up to wash her mouth out.

"What did you say?" Videl asked.

"Don't worry about it." Chichi said walking out of the bathroom and into her husband.

Goku grabbed her arms as she came out. His concerned gaze looking her over. "Chichi...are you.."

"I'm fine Goku." She snapped. "There is nothing to worry about. We're going to the doctor tomorrow, remember?" She said, trying to calm him down. Goku nodded slowly, but he still had a worried look on his face.

Chichi turned to her equally concerned sons. "I'm okay boys, really."

"Mom, I'm gonna help Videl finish up in the kitchen. You just rest. " Gohan said, handing his daughter to her.

"I said I was fine!" she snapped smiled at the familiar irritation in her voice. However, he didn't let that dissuade him.

"No mom. You're resting and that's it." he said before heading in the kitchen.

Chichi sighed as she looked down at Pan. "Come on Chichi. Let them take care of it." Goku said, putting his hand on her shoulder and leading her to the sofa.

...

"I think my Mom's hiding something." Gohan whispered as he helped his wife set the table.

"Hmmm. Yeah, but I don't think it's what you're thinking." she said with a thoughtful expression.

"What do you mean?" he said confused.

"I'll tell you later." she said quietly

...

Everyone gathered at the table once all the food was set out. Goku and Goten immediately began devouring their meal as usual. Completely forgetting the previous drama with their mother. Gohan on the other hand was too concerned to even think about food.

He silently sat watching her in awe. Apparently, his father and brother weren't the only ones with an appetite.

"Mmmm..Videl you did a wonderful job on this pork. It's absolutely delicious. Honey, hand me the dumplings." Chichi said around a mouthful of meat. His father handing her a plate of dumplings without question. They both snagged a few together, chewing happily.

"I'm so glad you like it! Gohan loves pork roast so I've had a lot of practice." she said with a secret smile on her face.

Gohan looked at his wife with a curious look, but she shook her head. " Eat your food before it gets cold honey." she said rubbing his arm.

"Yeah or I'm gonna eat your portion!" Goten said reaching over to his side of the table, snatching a few pieces of pork.

"Hey! You little...Give that back!" Gohan yelled as his brother shoved them in his mouth.

Videl sat back laughing as the family feuded over the over the remaining dishes on the table. Pan lending her own sweet giggles to the confusion.

...

It was around midnight when Gohan and Videl arrived home from his parents house. Gohan agreed to carry Pan inside and get her ready for bed. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

"She had pretty eventful day." Videl said quietly from the door.

Gohan chuckled softly at her statement. "Everyday is eventful in my house."

After kissing Pan goodnight, he followed his wife to their bedroom. They took their usual shower together and got dressed for bed. Unfortunately, sleep did not take over like Gohan had hoped. His mind was still plagued with thoughts from earlier that day.

"What do you thinks going on with my parents? I mean it's nice that they're so close, but it's a little weird. I hope my mom's not trying to keep some illness from us." Gohan whispered in the dark.

Videl cuddled close so she could rub his chest." I don't think you have anything to worry about. She's sick, but its not definitely not a bug."

Gohan frowned as he turned his head towards her. "What do you mean?"

"You're gonna freak out."

"Why would I freak out if it's not serious."

"I know you and you're gonna freak out."

"That's not fair! You're not even giving me a chance." Gohan moved out of her arms and turned the light on.

Videl sighed as she watch him cross his arms and pout. That irritated, but cute look making her concede.

"Okay, okay. Honestly, I think she's got morning sickness."

"Morning sickness!" he said, looking at her like she had two heads.

"Yep." Videl nodded. "The only thing in that oven is a bun, not a bug."

"I don't find that funny!" Gohan frowned.

"I'm dead serious. Your mom's totally pregnant. The kicker is they both know. You saw how your dad hovered over her."

"Yeah, but my dads barely home! She can't be pregnant." he said while scrunching up his face.

"No, you're dad has been home for several months. You'd know that if you visited more like I've told you to." she said narrowing her eyes as he blushed at his negligence.

"I go grocery shopping with your mom once a week so I see things you don't. You may not want to hear it, but your dad has been practically stuck to your mom." Crossing her arms.

"I always know when I interrupt them too." she giggled

"Oh Kami." Gohan said covering his face.

Videl laughed even harder. "You're dad actually gives me the stink eye!"

"Please stop." Gohan muffled through his hands.

"Honey, let's just not think about it now. Your mom's going to the doctor tomorrow and I'm pretty sure we'll know by the end of the week. Knowing her, this is probably really embarrassing so let's be discreet until she tells us." Videl said while pulling him back down to bed.

Gohan nodded and leaned over to turn out the light. He hated to admit it but, everything she said made sense. It reminded him of when Videl was pregnant. She'd be sick one moment then starving the next. Things were starting to add up and he wasn't sure how he felt about it.
