As the two of them walked through the hall in the
theathre back to their car, they were silent. Finally,
one of them spoke. It was Chi-Chi. "I'll never be able
to express how sorry I am for jumping down your throat
all the time. I don't know why I do it."
"That's fine. I know you do it for a reason."
He was so sweet to her. They drove back home in silence.
'What a wasted night,' Chi-Chi thought to herself. 'We
usually have so much more fun than that together. I
wonder why it is different...'

When Kakarott drove up to Chi-Chi's house, her
mother was waiting on the porch. "What on earth took so
long?" she screamed, "I have been waiting for hours!"
"I'm sure you've been waiting for hours, but we
weren't gone but three!" Chi-Chi said. "I apologize for
my sorry attempt to enjoy myself."
"You need to stop being such a smart alec!" Mrs.
Ox shouted with inner pain in her voice. "I try and I try
to please you and be nice all the time, but you just don't
appreciate it! You need to respect your mother!"

The next morning, Chi-Chi felt ill when she woke
up. She ran to the bathroom and vomited several times in
to the toilet. "Mother I need to go to the doctor." she
stated, exhausted.
"Take yourself to the doctor you brat. You didn't
have to be so rude last night." Her mom said, as meanly
as possible. "You need to think about what you do before
you do it, Chi-Chi!" And with those very words, she
picked up a towel, and ran into the bathroom for a
shower.

At about 3:00 that afternoon, Chi-Chi had mustered
up just enough courage to call the Doctor. "Hello, Doctor
Micheals? I have a bit of a problem." she said warily.

"Name and appointment time, please?" a robotic voice
droned on the opposite end of the reciever. "Miss?"

"Oh, I'm sorry" Chi-Chi stuttered "Chiana Ox, I go by
Chi-Chi. I don't have an appointment yet. I called to
make one for this afternoon if possible."

"One moment please...yes, we have an opening for 4:00,
is that okay Ms. Ox?" The voice droned.

"Yes, that's fine. Thank you." Chi-Chi said.


As Chi-Chi walked into the office, someone
called her name. "Chiana Ox? Chi-Chi?" It was the same
voice from earlier. "Yes? I'm here." she said loudly.
The only thing on her mind was that she was very, very ill.
"The doctor will be with you shortly. Are you
comfortable in here or would you prefer a magazine?" the
nurse said sweetly. "No, I'm fine, it won't be very long,
will it? I kind of need to hurry." Chi-Chi announced
worriedly.
"Shouldn't be, depending on the condition, you
could be out of in within a half hour." The nurse smiled
and walked out of the room.

"Sorry for the wait Mrs. Ox." the doctor spoke
with his back turned, closing the door. He looked over a
few charts and papers. Looking at Chi-Chi with a question-
ing eye, he asked "How old are you Chiana? It seems to me
that this condition may be very serious."
"Am I going to recover, Doctor?" Chi-Chi said, now
becoming very worried. She was starting to feel bad for
being such a bitch to her mother.
"Yes, of course! Please, tell me how old you are
and some of your symptoms." this doctor seemed too serious
for Chi-Chi to remain comfortable.
"Well, I'm 17 and about a half. I had gotten to
a point where I get really angry with Goku a lot lately.
Oh, Goku is my boyfriend. I have been really mean to
everybody. My mother, friends, dad, everyone. I throw
up in the morning. I have been for weeks. Do you know
what it is?" Chi-Chi said.
"I wish I didn't know what it was. I'm pretty
sure you're pregnant, but you should take a test. 17 is
really young Chiana." He sounded like a father. He was
sweet and being so nice to her. "Do you remember ever
fooling around with him?"
"Yeah, once or twice. But I wasn't on my period
so it was nothing, right?" it was more of a question than
an answer.
"Well, you need to take this test home, and if it
is pink it is posetive, blue it's negative. Pink equals
pregnant, ok? Call with the results." He patted her on the
back, handed her a test, and guided her out of the room.
"Tell your boyfriend, ok? No matter what, tell him."
"You go it, doc. Thanks again." Chi-Chi grinned.
It couldn't be THAT bad to be pregnant. Besides, Goku
would always be there.
