Those words rang through Gohan's head. ~Pregnant?~ he thought. His mind whirred around in circles, coming to one conclusion, and one conclusion only. That conclusion was to pick Videl up and twirl her around in the air. And he did just that. "Gohan!" Videl squeaked, shielding her eyes from the spinning carpet below her. Gohan set her down after he was done and looked at her with loving eyes. "I-" he began, looking Videl in the eyes with complete adoration. "I'm going to be a daddy." The smile that the news brought upon Gohan's face was more than enough for Videl to see that her husband really wanted this child, herself included. She smiled up at Gohan. The two just stood there in front of the couch looking at each other. Gohan inched his face closer to Videl's… slowly… slowly… DING DONG!
The two lovers sighed in exasperation. 'How long has it been since Gohan and I had a full fledged kiss?' Videl asked herself. Gohan removed his arms from his wife's waist, and started walking towards the door. 'If this is some salesman guy, I swear to Kami, I will blast him to the next dimension.' He opened up the door and there stood Chichi. 'God no, don't tell me she heard!!' Chichi waltzed into the room swinging around her purse as a partner. She began to sing an off tune version of "I'll Be Working On The Railroad". "I'm gonna be a grandma, I'm gonna be a grandma, I'm gonna be a grandma, A grandma I will be!" She looked up into her son's eyes and said "Gohan, my dreams are finally going to come true!" Gohan chuckled at his mother's exuberance. 'I swear, she could almost be a saiyan herself!' "Okay mom, I think you should sit down." "Sit down?!" she asked in hurt. "I could never sit down at a time like this!! I ned to use the phone, I'm going to phone Bulma, Krillin, oh, and Goten neds to know that he's going to be an uncle, oh and…" As she continued naming off people to deliver the news to, she headed into the kitchen where she started on her list.
Videl and Gohan looked at ech other. "Umm…" Videl began. "Why was she at the door, anyway?" Gohan sighed and put his arms around her, leaning hiw forehead on her own. "I don't know…" he said. "But the next time we're in a moment like that, remind me to NOT open the door, no matter who I'm expecting." Videl giggled. "Or who you're not expecting, in this case." Gohan laughed. "Yeah, I guess so." Gohan leaned closer to Videl's face, preparing to finish off what he had previously started. "OH MY GOD, BULMA!! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE IT!! MY LITTLE GOHAN IS GOING TO BE A DADDY!!" The rather rude intrusion ruined the moment for the second time. 'Damn!'

Videl awoke in the middle of the night. Her breathing was abnormal, but she didn't do anything to strain herself. Sure, she was 4 months in with her pregnancy, but just sleeping couldn't tire her out. She racked her brain to figure out what the source of the problem might have been. Not coming up with anything, she laid back down and turned to face Gohan, sleeping peacefully beside her. She snuggled into him, and he instinctively put his strong arms around her. She sighed in comfort. 'I like it how he always does that,' she thought. 'Asleep or not.'

Walking around the living room, Gohan waited for Videl to get up. 'Something's up,' he concluded. Videl had been getting more tired lately that she should have been. He realized that t he pregnancy may have something to do with it, but after digging up some background information, he realized that just a pregnancy wouldn't have that much of an affect on someone like Videl. So, he was taking her to the doctor's today, not just for her check up, but for a test to see if she had a sickness, or worse, a disease. 'No,' he thought, shaking the mental image out of his head of Videl having some type of deadly disease. He heard her rousing in the bedroom, indicating her awakening. 'Oh well,' he thought. 'Moment of truth.'
