Birth of a Daughter

The hospital. The one place Goku dreads so much. With the needles, surgery, and- He cringed. "Will mom be alright?" asked Gohan, holding a half-asleep Goten. Gohan lifted his head; shrieking. "Dad look!!" The doctor appeared from the hall doors, and says "Mr. Son.About your wife." Goku's face was pale as chalk. "No need to worry Mr. Son. You should be happy! Your wife is going to have another baby." Goku was speechless. "B-b-b-BA-" The doctor laughed. "Yes, you're going to have another child." The next day, they went home joyfully.

Goten was just as excited as anyone else. Goten kept telling Gohan that "I'm gonna be a big brother too now!" He simply replied, "Your going to have to be responsible now.'' Goten didn't want to hear this so he added "Your gonna have to cancel your dates with Videl then."

The last 8 months past peacefully for Goku. (Besides the awful sounds and smell of morning sickness) Then, around 3:3o in the morning, a blood- curdling scream ran through the house like a gust of wind. Goku, once again, had found himself in the hospital. Waiting. His eyes drooped, and fell asleep. Mr. Son? Mr. Son! WAKE UP MR. SON!! "Huh, whatzamatter?" "You want to see your daughter?" Goku trampled up. "Yeah sure, whatever ya say."

The baby was beautiful. "Do you want to hold her?" asked the nurse. He shook his head. Goku was afraid that he might hurt the baby. But, he was handed the baby anyway. The nurse had to go to another delivery.

"Hi," he said absentmindedly. "I'm your daddy." The baby opened her eyes. Surprising that they were purple. She cooed as she gripped her dad's finger. He laughed softly, stroking her hair. "Someday, you'll probably be stronger than all of us." As if the baby could understand.

The doctor tapped his shoulder."Mr. Son. Your wife hasn't decided on a name. Any suggestions?" Goku thought hard, for at least an hour. "I know now!" he exclaimed. "We'll name her.Hotaru." The doctor smiled. "That's nice. Her name is Son Hotaru."
