The Problem of a Love Lost
Author's Notes: Takes place after Goku's death in the Cell Games and before Goten's birthday. WARNING!!!! This deals with Anorexia and suicide so if someone you know or you have gone through this I am not making fun of it. I am just bringing the subject up because I saw a movie on Anorexia in Health class.

Chichi sighed and slowly climbed out of bed, she was tired. But Gohan had to fed breakfast before school. She sighed hating to wake him up after all it had only been a week since Goku's death and she had heard him crying in his bedroom for quite a few hours. Before drifting off to sleep the sleeping herbs she had put in his drink to help him sleep taking effect. She hated having to put Gohan to sleep but she knew if she didn't then he would never get any sleep and he needed it.
Chichi on the other hand for some strange reason had grown accustomed to going long hours without sleeping. After all she had spent many nights worrying over her husband and son while they were away or training. So she could stay up for well over half the night and be ready for a full days work at first light. She sighed has she moved to the steps and walked down them softly so she didn't wake Gohan. She knew that he needed rest and would come down when breakfast started to cook.
Chichi sighed and set to work making some food for Gohan and while the water was boiling rummaged in the refrigerator for some oranges to make some homemade orange juice. She sighed and began to squeeze the oranges and then added the rest of the ingredients. She sighed has she finished fixing breakfast and waited for Gohan to come rushing down the stairs. At that moment Gohan came running down the stairs and sat at the table. Looking at his mother tiredly.
"Here Gohan-chan I made you some orange juice," Chichi said pouring Gohan some orange juice.
"Thank you momma," said Gohan reaching for the glass.
Chichi smiled has she prepared her son's breakfast plate and the moment she set it down in front of him. He handed her his glass.
"Momma can I have some more juice please?"
"Of course you can baby."
Gohan watched his mom from over the rim of the glass. She seemed tired but then again she always had seemed tired whenever him and dad got back from one of their sparing sessions that had taken them away from the house for a day or two. He wondered what she thought of being a widow again. Now that his dad was gone but his dad had told him something on the way to the Cell games.
Flashback*******************************************************************
"Hey Gohan!"
"Yeah daddy?" Gohan asked turning his head to look at his father.
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it daddy?"
"What would you think about being a big brother?"
"Why do you ask daddy?"
"Because I kinda got your mother pregnant last night," Goku said sheepishly.
"Is that why you two were so loud last night?" asked a new voice.
"Mr. Piccollo!" chirped Gohan.
"You heard us?!" asked a surprised Goku.
"It was heard not too hear you. Didn't you hear them Gohan?!"
"Probably not Goku is a sound sleeper."
"Lucky him," muttered Piccolo.
"How can you tell daddy."
"I just can."
"Going to be a big brother?!"
"Yes Gohan but you can not tell your mother this you to Piccollo."
"Okay daddy but why?"
"Because she needs to find out for herself."
"Fine Goku whatever you say."
End of Flashback**********************************************************
That had been a week ago and that had him happy to know that and that made him happy to know that he was going to be an older brother. He couldn't wait for his mother to find out she would be happy to know she was going to have another son or daughter. He smiled and prayed for a brother though a baby sister would be nice. He would enjoy spoiling her if he had one and mom let him.
Gohan frowned then wondering how his mother would react though. What if she reacted wrong and got upset and did not want the child. What if she wanted to have an abortion because his father was not here has well.
'Naw,' Gohan thought. 'Mom is not like that. She does not believe in abortions. I wonder how Krillien is doing.'
"Gohan-chan?" came his mother's voice.
"Hai mommy?"
"Time for school dear."
"Okay mommy," Gohan said taking her lunch from her and kissing her check before disappearing out the door. But he turned back suddenly.
"Mommy?!" he shouted.
"What is it dear?!" she shouted back.
"Can I go to Krillien's for awhile after school?"
Chichi sighed and rolled her eyes but smiled. "Alright but only until five okay?"
"Yes mommy thank you."
Chichi sighed and watched her son fly off to school. She then shut the door leaned against the door and began to sob.
"Oh Goku why did you leave me?!"
King Ki's********************************************************************
Goku stopped training and reached out his senses to his wife. She was crying again though she never let their son see it she was. He wondered why she never let their son see her cry. Also why she never took any of the sleeping herbs herself.
"Goku is something wrong?" his mentor asked him.
"Chichi something is wrong with Chichi. That crap about her being used to not sleeping is a bunch of bull shit!"
Goku frowned has he watched Chichi put the food away before going about cleaning the house.
"And she isn't eating," he said with a frown.
