Chapter 6: "Longing for Summer"
iMany years came and past. Gohan and Yuigi, who were 12, are now 19 years old. They're both in college, while Ryoko and Trunks are in the future.../i
"So Yuigi, how's college for you so far?" asked Shelly, trying to strike up a conversation with the quiet girl. Andy was friends with Gohan, and since Yuigi couldn't be separated from Gohan (and Shelly couldn't be seperated from Andy), they all became friends after Gohan and Andy did.
Yuigi shrugged. "I guess it's pretty tough, but nothing will ever come close to Chi-Chi's lectures."
Gohan sighed and shook his head, smiling, as Shelly and Andy laughed. They all were sitting down at a resturant for dinner, since Andy had been saving up some money to do something special for the newcomers. Shelly and Andy had been in college a year longer than Gohan and Yuigi.
"My mom made us study constantly, she's probably having withdraws since we're not there." added Gohan as they laughed once more.
A blonde waiter came by and looked at Yuigi, smiling and raising his eyebrows. Gohan scowled at the waiter and held Yuigi's hand as they placed their order. David, the waiter, looked at Yuigi once more as he left, almost bumping into a rail since he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. iMan, she's hot!/i he thought to himself. For the fourth time he glanced at Yuigi, who flipped her layered hair behind her shoulders and glanced at David, giving him a peculiar look that David thought said i"Why do you keep staring at me?"/i
"Because you're beautiful, that's why." he whispered under his breath as he placed drinks down at a table on the other side of the room. iShe must go to the same college as I do, she has on our school's sweater...awesome. Wonder why I haven't seen her before?/i questioned David to himself as he went on with his work.
"Dat rat wuz makin' googly-eyes atch yer WOMAN!" said Andy sarcastically. Gohan still had a scowl on his face as he ate his steak, making sure that guy wasn't spying on Yuigi from behind a counter or something. He laughed at himself on the inside and squeezed Yuigi's hand.
"Man, I'm glad that summer is almost here, only about...oh yeah...ONE FREAKIN' WEEK!" laughed Shelly. She wasn't quiet like Yuigi, and she defiantly let you know when she was happy.
"Me too!" agreed Andy, putting and arm around her waist. "What are you two going to do?" he asked Yuigi and Gohan, who were behind them.
"We're going back home, so we can be there when Trunks and Ryoko come back from..." Gohan cut himself off. He almost said 'when they come back from the future'! "Uh...when they come back to visit us again. We haven't seen them in quite a few years, even though they're supposed to visit us every summer! I'm hoping that they'll come this time." explained Gohan.
By the time they were done talking, they had reached Andy's dorm. "Me and Shelly are going to...uh...heh heh..." he laughed quietly, rolling his eyes to the ceiling in sort of a daze.
Blushing, Shelly slapped his arm and coughed. "We're going to watch movies." She said, glaring at Andy.
Sighing in disappointment, Andy was obligated to shake his head in agreement with her. "Right. Watch movies."
"Okay, bye!" said Yuigi, walking down the hall to her dorm with Gohan.
Seeing the extremely hope-shattered look on her boyfriend's face, Shelly couldn't help but laugh. "You should know by now that I'm just joking." she whispered, walking inside giggling. Andy smiled and said 'Yessss' in his head as he followed her into the dorm.
Chapter 7: "Damieon the Tyrant, offspring of WHO?!"
A week and a few days later, Yuigi and Gohan were back at the San's house. "Hi mom, hi dad!!" cried Gohan, running through the door. They two young adults heard a 'Shhhhhhh' and were greeted by Goku. "Damieon's sleeping!" smiled Goku. Gohan smiled too.
"You and mom had a baby?" he asked, smiling even though he was surprised.
"Nope, come and see!" whispered Goku, waving a hand towards the back room.
Looking at each other funny, they followed Gohan's dad. When they reached the back room, they opened the door quietly. Looking inside, they saw a small boy sleeping on a bed. Small, scary looking boy. Very scary. He had jet-black, untamed hair that was laid on his face in spikes. His eyebrows were drawn together, as if he were mad at the world, even when he was sleeping. For such a small boy, he looked mature. Suddenly, his eyes opened with his eyebrows still nit together in an angered appearance. Emerald eyes glared at Gohan and Yuigi, making them both gulp. The electric green eyes never left their faces as he moved into a sitting position. "Who are you?" he asked bluntly.
"Who are iyou/i?" they both cried in shaky voices.
"I am Damieon." he stated. "Now who are you?"
"I'm Gohan, and this is Yuigi." said Gohan, introducing themselves to the strange boy.
"Oh, I see." muttered Damieon, the corners of his mouth twitching into an awful little smile. "My parents have told me of you."
iHe sure has a good vocabulary for someone his age!/i thought Yuigi, who guessed that the boy was about six years old. "Who are your parents?" asked Yuigi quietly.
"Ryoko and Trunks Breifs." he answered in exasperation, making Yuigi and Gohan fall over. "Why were you watching me sleep?"
"Well, we didn't mean to watch you, I mean, uh, we..." Gohan finally stopped as Damieon obviously got bored of listening to Gohan an walked right past him, out the door.
"Hey wait!" Gohan called to Damieon. The spooky boy turned around and glared at Gohan disdainfully. "What?" He asked, sounding quite bored.
"Well, you're here, but your parents aren't here!" stated Gohan, looking around the room as if Ryoko and Trunks would suddenly appear. He looked back at Damieon for an answer.
"My, aren't you observant." marveled Damieon sarcastically. "They're out on the town. Though I would hardly call it a town." he scorned. "The past is so primitive."
Damieon sighed and continued to walk towards the door. "I'm going to train with Vegeta now." He was just about to open the door when he was stopped yet again by Goku.
"Well, you're awake!" smiled Goku. Damieon rolled his eyes and sighed while Goku laughed nervously.
"Really, I am? Thanks for informing me Goku. What would I do without you?" said the once-again sarcastic boy, and with that he slammed the door and flew away, making sure to knock a crack in the window with his wave of energy.
Still smiling, but scratching and shaking his head, Goku turned towards his son. "So, how's college?" he asked, but Gohan and Yuigi were still entranced by the surprisingly mean boy's behavior.
"Um...Dad? I was wondering why-" started Gohan, but Goku held out a hand. "Remember, Trunks is his father." he whispered. Gohan raised an eyebrow at him and sighed.
"But Trunks isn't mean, Dad. I mean, he's serious, but he's not mean."
Goku nodded in agreement. "But remember who iTrunks'/i father is..."
"Ohhh..." said Yuigi and Gohan in unison. iOf course!/i thought Yuigi, iVegeta is such a cranky guy, and that kid does have Vegeta's blood in him. After all, the guy IS his grandfather./i
Gohan was laughing. "Vegeta, the grandpa!" He paused with his mouth open and looked wide-eyed at the ground. iThat sounds WEIRD!/i
"Is he gone?" came a whisper behind the counter. The three standing by the door suddenly saw a pair of eyes peering over the counter. Chi-Chi's eyes. "That kid scares the crap out of me!"
"MOM!" said Gohan.
"Well, he idoes/i." responded Chi-Chi.
"No, I meant that I'm happy to see you!" laughed Gohan, hugging his mom. "It's been a while, huh?"
"Yeah, I missed you!"
Yuigi and Gohan talked to Goku and Chi-Chi, telling them all about college. They left out a few details, though, like the parties. Meanwhile, Damieon was training with his grandpa over at Capsule Corp.
"Come on Damieon! If you want to be as strong as I am, you have to work harder than that!" laughed Vegeta. Actually, he was quite impressed by the boy; after all, he could walk through walls without blowing them up first, and he also could change the shape of objects by just using his mind. He had amused Vegeta several times by turning Goku's coffee cup into a plate, making the hot liquid spill into his lap. Unfortunatly, Goku and Chi-Chi came to visit them often at Capsule Corp., mainly because Chi-Chi didn't like to be cooped up in her little house all the time. She also liked to have the company of someone she could relate to; Bulma. They both had very different husbands, but those men had one thing in common according to Bulma and Chi-Chi; they didn't have a clue.
Snarling, Damieon transported behind his grandfather and kicked him as hard as he could in the back of his knees, making him go into a crouching position. Vegeta had to be honest with himself; that hurt...a LOT. iHe uses the same fighting methods as his blasted mother!/i noticed Vegeta, remembering the time that he and Ryoko had fought for a very short period of time.
"Okay, I think you have had enough of this for one day." coughed Vegeta.
"Hmph. You just can't take it old man, you fight like a girl!"
Before Vegeta could knock the living daylights out of his grandson, Bulma walked in.
"Don't ever say that again! Girls can fight, too, just look at your mother!"
"Sorry grandma." said Damieon sweetly. "Can you fight?"
"Hmm..lemme try." she said, giving Vegeta a sly look. She walked over and and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Standing there, awfully confused (yet awfully happy), he stated "You didn't even throw a punch, you call that fighting?"
"Maybe I didn't use violence, but I made you weaker all the same." she giggled just before walking out.
"Did she?" mused Damieon. His grandpa may act all tough, but Damieon knew that Vegeta was infatuated by her. Every move that Bulma made had Vegeta eyeing her, and whenever she got sick he took care of her. Of course, he made it look as though he was obligated to do it, but Damieon caught him running his hand through her hair as she slept, with a worried look on his face; as if she was so fragile that the Common Cold would kill her.
Blushing slightly, Vegeta smacked the back of his head. "That's none of your concern!" he yelled, but it only made Damieon laugh harder.
"Yes she did, you looooooove her! You wanna huuuuuuuuuuuuuug her, you wanna kiiiiiiiiiss her, you wanna hoooooooooooold her, you wanna-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH, BOY!" said a furious Vegeta, his voice quavering with frustration. "Now I'm going to kick your scrawny butt next time we train, no holding back!"
"Scrawny?" Damieon shook his rear end. "I have a nice butt."
Rolling his eyes, Vegeta said in exasperation, "You sure are obscene for a boy who's just about to turn seven years old in a few months.
Smiling behind his grandson's back, Vegeta about beamed with pride. The kid had his hair, his smirk, and his attitude. Something that his son did not have, well, not as least as much of it as his grandson did.
Smelling food, a scent that anyone with Saiyian blood could pick up from many miles away, the two trainers walked inside to find Bulma, Trunks, and Ryoko sitting at the dinner table.
"Hey kiddo!" called Ryoko. "Did your visit to Goku's go well? Did you remember to tell Gohan and Yuigi that we're here?"
"I highly despise Goku. He really doesn't have a brain."
Chuckling, Vegeta sat down at the table while Damieon went on.
"They took so long to get there, so I took a nap so that I wouldn't have to listen to Goku talk about how much I looked like a whole bunch of different people. When they came, I found to my disappointment that Gohan acted just as his father, so I just left."
Nobody (execpt for Vegeta) really appreciated Damieon talking about Goku like that, but they had to agree. He wasn't the brightest guy in the world, and Gohan was defiantly cooler when he was a teenager. Sitting down and joining his family, Dameion ate.
Looking at his parents, Damieon got confused. "I thought you were going out to eat at a restaurant. You two are still hungry?"
"I'm not all hungry, but your father is." stated Ryoko.
"You Saiyians eat every meal like there's no tomorrow." sighed Bulma, looking at her son and her husband scarfing down food. iAt least they don't eat as messily as Goku!/i she thought, remembering the last time Goku and Chi-Chi came to visit. There was spaghetti all over the floor, and all over Goku's face. iWhat a slob.../i
"Where do babies come from?" blurted Damieon.
Spitting out his drink, Trunks looked at Damieon. Ryoko's mouth sort of hung open as the corn slid off of her spoon that she was holding by her mouth.
Cracking up, Damieon left the dinner table and started walking upstairs. "I'm only joking, just thought I'd get my amusement for the day."
Shaking her head and smiling, Bulma said, "That is one....different boy. No offense or anything..."
"Believe me, we totally agree." said Ryoko dryly.
Chapter 7: "Yuigi's Decision"
Damieon was upstairs lying on his bed when a knock sounded on the door. "Great, it's those annoying guests again." he sighed. Jumping off of his bed, he smirked. "I'd better go greet them."
A few moments later, Gohan, Goku, Yuigi, Chi-Chi, Vegeta, Ryoko, Bulma, Trunks, Yamcha, Tien, Master Roshi, Chaoutzou, Puar, Oolong and Damieon were all sitting around the living room.
"So, um, Ryoko? When did you have a baby?" asked Oolong, nervously glancing at Damieon again.
"Oh, when we went to the future-time. About seven years ago." she responded, giving a smile to her headstrong boy.
"Go Trunks!" whispered Yamcha, who was sitting on the couch next to Trunks. He just blushed, grinned, and turned away.
After a lot of talking, and very short, rude answers from Damieon if he was asked anything, everyone left. Vegeta and Damieon were sitting on the floor watching a game of football.
"Have you ever played football Vegeta?" asked Damieon, knowing that his grandfather hadn't.
"Why bother? It doesn't even look like a challenge." sneered Vegeta.
"I bet I could kick your butt in football." mumbled Damieon, resting his chin on his arms. They both were lying on their stomachs, staring at the T.V.
Meanwhile, Bulma was in her bedroom. She was thinking about Damieon, and how rotten he could be. Yet, sometimes...well, he could be sweet, too. Smiling to herself, she thought iHe sure does love his grandpa!/i
Ryoko and Trunks were already sleeping upstairs in their room when Vegeta had clicked off the T.V. Seeing that Damieon had fallen asleep, he went to shake his shoulder to wake him, but stopped instead. He noticed that Damieon was actually smiling in his sleep, instead of appearing to be angry as usual. Giving small smile himself, he lifted Damieon up and carried him into his bedroom. Vegeta covered his grandson with a blanket and went off to his own bedroom.
Instead of flying home, Goku, Yuigi, Gohan, and Chi-Chi took the car. Chi- Chi was busy watching the road, making sure her husband didn't drive incorrectly. Meanwhile, in the backseat, Yuigi had her head rested on the window. It was slightly uncomfortable, but the window was cold and made her feel refreshed. Yuigi's sigh stirred Gohan out of his daydream, and he looked over at his girlfriend, smiling.
Once they got home, everyone fell asleep. Yuigi was in the guest bedroom; Gohan was in his own. Chi-Chi slept with Goku as usual, bothered by his snoring. Laughing to herself quietly, she grabbed one of his foul socks off the floor (one of the ones he wore while training for hours) and stuffed it into his mouth. After a few moments, he woke up and spat it out.
"GROSS!!!" he yelled. Wiping the saliva off of his mouth, he glared at Chi- Chi, who was 'sound asleep'. Shrugging, he tried to go back to sleep, but heard a soft giggle coming from under the blankets. Lifting them up, he saw his wife clasping both hands over her mouth, shaking with laughter. Chi-Chi opened one eye and ceased her laughing as Goku gave her a dirty look, and laughed softly himself. He leaned over to give her a kiss, but she placed her hands over over his mouth.
"No way, mister, not after you had that disgusting sock in your mouth!"
"Hey! It's your fault!"
Hearing the laughter coming from her boyfriend's parent's bedroom, Yuigi took the chance to creep silently to Gohan's room. She opened the door, and wasn't surprised to see him in bed, reading a book. He was just wearing sweatpants and his reading glasses. When he heard the door creak open, he looked up sharply and his eyes widened. He saw his girlfriend standing in his doorway wearing a white tank top that said "Q.T." in bold red letters on it, and plaid-red boxer shorts.
"Hey." he said, a tone of surprise in his voice.
Yuigi walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek, climbing onto his bed and snuggling up against him.
He smiled and untied her braided pony-tail, running his fingers through her hair which was still a bit wet, since she put it up in a braid right after she showered. Resting her head on his chest, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
iChi-Chi and Goku's anniversary was in two days, so they decided to take a week-long vacation. This left Gohan and Yuigi alone. Uh oh.../i
iA few weeks after Chi-Chi and Goku's return.../i
"Are you SURE you're okay, dear?" questioned Chi-Chi sympathetically as she gazed at Yuigi, who was leaning over the toilet after throwing up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Probably just the flu or something." said Yuigi weakly as she brushed her teeth and walked back to her room. Lying in bed, a thought ran past Yuigi's mind and she shot up out of bed as if someone had caught her by surprise. After she showered and got dressed, Yuigi dragged Gohan to the car.
"We have to go to the doctor!" she whispered. "RIGHT NOW!"
But it was too late, Chi-Chi had stepped out the door. "Hey, where are you guys going? Yuigi, you shouldn't be traveling when you're sick!"
"Uhh..Gohan is taking me to the doctor. Just in case I have something other than the flu!" responded Yuigi nervously.
"Oh okay!"
Goku poked his head out of the window. "Would you mind bringing back some food for me?"
"Nope, we'll stop at the Dragon Star to pick something up for you!"
Once they were in the car driving off, Gohan looked toward Yuigi. "What would you have other than the flu?" he asked softly.
"Your baby." answered Yuigi flatly.
Gohan swerved in zigzags across the road until he finally got himself under control. Stopping the car as he took deep breaths, he stared his bewildered girlfriend. "P-p-regg-gnant? But how?"
"Are you ireally/i going to make me answer that?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, er....maybe I ido/i have the flu!" she answered optimistically. "I bet we'll go right into the doctor's office, and they'll say, "Nope, it's just the flu! You're not pregnant!
"You're pregnant."
Yuigi and Gohan glared at the bull-necked doctor, who was wiping the lenses of his wire-rimmed glasses on his white jacket.
Gohan let out a small gasp, gave the doctor a side-ways smile before falling backwards in his chair, passed out.
"Oh that's ireally/i original, Gohan!" said Yuigi sarcastically as the doctor chuckled.
"Congratulations." he bellowed as he stood.
"Wait, no no no!" Yuigi stood also, placing her hand in front of the doctor. "What do I do?"
"Well...uh..." mumbled the doctor, unsure of how to answer the question. "You...can check back with me twice every month to see how the pregnancy is going or....uh...you can get an abortion."
"No! I won't do that, that's terrible." gasped Yuigi.
The doctor smiled. "Well then, I'll see you in three weeks!"
Yuigi had to drive the car home, since Gohan kept passing out every time he saw a child on the street. Eventually his shock was reduced to severe shaking.
"We're home!" sighed Yuigi, shutting the door behind her as she entered the San household. Goku was snoring on the couch, and Chi-Chi had a peculiar look etched in her face.
"So, how'd it go?" she asked in an equally peculiar voice. She sat down beside Goku, with her arms crossed. Her gaze never met Yuigi's; she only glared at the wall ahead of her.
Gulping, Yuigi wrung her hands together nervously. "Uh, well, eh...I ido/i have the flu, heh!"
Chi-Chi stared at Yuigi, then noticed Gohan. He was shaking with his eyes wide, and struggling to make his way into the next room.
"And I suppose Gohan suddenly got the flu, too?"
"Heh....you know how it spreads!" laughed Yuigi nervously, avoiding Chi- Chi's sharp gaze.
"Hmm...you know what I think? I don't think you would have gone to the doctor if you suspected that you had a mere flu. And I don't think you'd be so nervous, and I don't think that my son would look like he just saw a ghost. iDo you know what I think?/i
"W-ww-hat?" cried Yuigi.
"YOU GUYS CRASHED THE CAR INTO SOMETHING WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION, DIDN'T YOU?!?!"
Yuigi fell over, and stood up exhaling a sigh of relief. "You caught me, Chi-Chi, you really did. We didn't go to the doctor...we went to the auto shop. Gohan and I look so nervous since the repair price is a lil' expensive."
Chi-Chi frowned. "Well, we are NOT paying for it. The money is coming out of your pocket as well as Gohan's."
Yuigi bowed her head. "I'm really sorry."
"You guys are still young anyway. Accidents happen!"
"Tell me about it." mumbled Yuigi under her breath as she made her way into the kitchen.
Chapter 7: "Secret's Out!"
"No offense, Yuigi, but you look like you're gaining a lil' weight?" chuckled Shelly. Yuigi looked down sheepishly at her stomach.
"Yeah, heh, I guess Chi-Chi IS a great cook after all!"
The professor was greeting them after the summer, but Yuigi could hardly pay attention in her classes. Not even after the first full week back at college.
"D-ddropping out? You mean that my Gohan is going to marry a woman without an education?!"
Yuigi fell over as she talked to Chi-Chi on the phone on Saturday. "Yes, Chi-Chi, I decided that college just wasn't for me. It's not really what I dreamed of doing anyway, ya know? Some people just don't go to college."
"Well...I..." stammered Chi-Chi.
"By the way, just because I don't want to continue college doesn't mean that I don't have an education. I happened to help out a scientific GENIUS in her lab during my childhood, so I do know certain things!" added Yuigi crisply, placing her hands on her hips as if it would intimidate a woman who was hours away.
"Well, YOUNG lady," said Chi-Chi sharply, as if to intimidate her right back, "What plans do you have if you're not going to college? My son is not going to be making all of your money to support you."
Yuigi slapped her forehead. iI practically took over the world while I was merely a child, I THINK I can support myself!/i
"Well, Chi-Chi, I guess I'll just have to find something I enjoy doing and find a job to match it!" stated Yuigi.
Chi-Chi sighed in exasperation over the phone, making Yuigi's eye twitch. iShe just doesn't give up, does she?i thought Yuigi.
"I can tell you one thing, missy, you aren't going to be lounging around the house watching T.V. while my son is out in the REAL world making the money to support the two of you!" Chi-Chi paused and Yuigi placed her hand on her round stomach.
"You aren't going to be some lazy woman who has absolutely no job whatsoever, and has no responsibilities whatsoever!" yelled Chi-Chi.
Grinding her teeth, Yuigi screamed, "I THINK BEING A MOTHER IS GOING TO BE A JOB AND A RESPONSABILITY THAT IS MORE THAN A HANDFUL, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME LAZY!" As soon as those words slipped Yuigi's tongue, she regretted speaking them. Her hand slid to her mouth, covering it, as if it would somehow make the words disappear. But, it didn't.
"Moth...maa.......mm-mmot-t-t-tthheer?! Mother....MMMMMMOOOOOOOTHHHHEEEEERRRR????!!!!" shrieked Chi-Chi. "YOU'RE PREGNANT? BUT HOW?"
Yuigi fell over once again. "Yes, Chi-Chi. A mother. ME." she said quietly.
"SEE? YOU'VE JUST PROVED TO ME ALREADY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RESPONSABILITY...YOU'RE HAVING A CHILD AND YOU'RE BARELY IN YOUR TWENTIES! YOU DON'T HAVE A HOUSE, A JOB, OR...ANYTHING!"
Yuigi clenched her fist, but tried to keep her trembling voice calm. "Gohan and I did everything that a RESPONSABLE couple can possibly try to do to prevent having a chi-"
"Responsible couples DO NOT HAVE BABIES!"
Tears of frustration slid out of the corners of Yuigi's eyes. "Gohan and I love each other very, very, very much and we'll find a way to deal with this! And listening to you scream at me is not a good way to start handling things, so GOODBYE!" Yuigi slammed the phone down on the receiver, and placed her head in her hands as she sat down. When she started crying, she felt a hand gently rubbing her back. She saw Gohan's face stare down at her through her watery eyes.
"It's okay hun, it's okay." he whispered while he held her. She rested her head on his shoulder. "It's okay...my mom is a control freak, but it'll be okay." he whispered as Yuigi half laughed and half sobbed into his sleeve.
iMany years came and past. Gohan and Yuigi, who were 12, are now 19 years old. They're both in college, while Ryoko and Trunks are in the future.../i
"So Yuigi, how's college for you so far?" asked Shelly, trying to strike up a conversation with the quiet girl. Andy was friends with Gohan, and since Yuigi couldn't be separated from Gohan (and Shelly couldn't be seperated from Andy), they all became friends after Gohan and Andy did.
Yuigi shrugged. "I guess it's pretty tough, but nothing will ever come close to Chi-Chi's lectures."
Gohan sighed and shook his head, smiling, as Shelly and Andy laughed. They all were sitting down at a resturant for dinner, since Andy had been saving up some money to do something special for the newcomers. Shelly and Andy had been in college a year longer than Gohan and Yuigi.
"My mom made us study constantly, she's probably having withdraws since we're not there." added Gohan as they laughed once more.
A blonde waiter came by and looked at Yuigi, smiling and raising his eyebrows. Gohan scowled at the waiter and held Yuigi's hand as they placed their order. David, the waiter, looked at Yuigi once more as he left, almost bumping into a rail since he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. iMan, she's hot!/i he thought to himself. For the fourth time he glanced at Yuigi, who flipped her layered hair behind her shoulders and glanced at David, giving him a peculiar look that David thought said i"Why do you keep staring at me?"/i
"Because you're beautiful, that's why." he whispered under his breath as he placed drinks down at a table on the other side of the room. iShe must go to the same college as I do, she has on our school's sweater...awesome. Wonder why I haven't seen her before?/i questioned David to himself as he went on with his work.
"Dat rat wuz makin' googly-eyes atch yer WOMAN!" said Andy sarcastically. Gohan still had a scowl on his face as he ate his steak, making sure that guy wasn't spying on Yuigi from behind a counter or something. He laughed at himself on the inside and squeezed Yuigi's hand.
"Man, I'm glad that summer is almost here, only about...oh yeah...ONE FREAKIN' WEEK!" laughed Shelly. She wasn't quiet like Yuigi, and she defiantly let you know when she was happy.
"Me too!" agreed Andy, putting and arm around her waist. "What are you two going to do?" he asked Yuigi and Gohan, who were behind them.
"We're going back home, so we can be there when Trunks and Ryoko come back from..." Gohan cut himself off. He almost said 'when they come back from the future'! "Uh...when they come back to visit us again. We haven't seen them in quite a few years, even though they're supposed to visit us every summer! I'm hoping that they'll come this time." explained Gohan.
By the time they were done talking, they had reached Andy's dorm. "Me and Shelly are going to...uh...heh heh..." he laughed quietly, rolling his eyes to the ceiling in sort of a daze.
Blushing, Shelly slapped his arm and coughed. "We're going to watch movies." She said, glaring at Andy.
Sighing in disappointment, Andy was obligated to shake his head in agreement with her. "Right. Watch movies."
"Okay, bye!" said Yuigi, walking down the hall to her dorm with Gohan.
Seeing the extremely hope-shattered look on her boyfriend's face, Shelly couldn't help but laugh. "You should know by now that I'm just joking." she whispered, walking inside giggling. Andy smiled and said 'Yessss' in his head as he followed her into the dorm.
Chapter 7: "Damieon the Tyrant, offspring of WHO?!"
A week and a few days later, Yuigi and Gohan were back at the San's house. "Hi mom, hi dad!!" cried Gohan, running through the door. They two young adults heard a 'Shhhhhhh' and were greeted by Goku. "Damieon's sleeping!" smiled Goku. Gohan smiled too.
"You and mom had a baby?" he asked, smiling even though he was surprised.
"Nope, come and see!" whispered Goku, waving a hand towards the back room.
Looking at each other funny, they followed Gohan's dad. When they reached the back room, they opened the door quietly. Looking inside, they saw a small boy sleeping on a bed. Small, scary looking boy. Very scary. He had jet-black, untamed hair that was laid on his face in spikes. His eyebrows were drawn together, as if he were mad at the world, even when he was sleeping. For such a small boy, he looked mature. Suddenly, his eyes opened with his eyebrows still nit together in an angered appearance. Emerald eyes glared at Gohan and Yuigi, making them both gulp. The electric green eyes never left their faces as he moved into a sitting position. "Who are you?" he asked bluntly.
"Who are iyou/i?" they both cried in shaky voices.
"I am Damieon." he stated. "Now who are you?"
"I'm Gohan, and this is Yuigi." said Gohan, introducing themselves to the strange boy.
"Oh, I see." muttered Damieon, the corners of his mouth twitching into an awful little smile. "My parents have told me of you."
iHe sure has a good vocabulary for someone his age!/i thought Yuigi, who guessed that the boy was about six years old. "Who are your parents?" asked Yuigi quietly.
"Ryoko and Trunks Breifs." he answered in exasperation, making Yuigi and Gohan fall over. "Why were you watching me sleep?"
"Well, we didn't mean to watch you, I mean, uh, we..." Gohan finally stopped as Damieon obviously got bored of listening to Gohan an walked right past him, out the door.
"Hey wait!" Gohan called to Damieon. The spooky boy turned around and glared at Gohan disdainfully. "What?" He asked, sounding quite bored.
"Well, you're here, but your parents aren't here!" stated Gohan, looking around the room as if Ryoko and Trunks would suddenly appear. He looked back at Damieon for an answer.
"My, aren't you observant." marveled Damieon sarcastically. "They're out on the town. Though I would hardly call it a town." he scorned. "The past is so primitive."
Damieon sighed and continued to walk towards the door. "I'm going to train with Vegeta now." He was just about to open the door when he was stopped yet again by Goku.
"Well, you're awake!" smiled Goku. Damieon rolled his eyes and sighed while Goku laughed nervously.
"Really, I am? Thanks for informing me Goku. What would I do without you?" said the once-again sarcastic boy, and with that he slammed the door and flew away, making sure to knock a crack in the window with his wave of energy.
Still smiling, but scratching and shaking his head, Goku turned towards his son. "So, how's college?" he asked, but Gohan and Yuigi were still entranced by the surprisingly mean boy's behavior.
"Um...Dad? I was wondering why-" started Gohan, but Goku held out a hand. "Remember, Trunks is his father." he whispered. Gohan raised an eyebrow at him and sighed.
"But Trunks isn't mean, Dad. I mean, he's serious, but he's not mean."
Goku nodded in agreement. "But remember who iTrunks'/i father is..."
"Ohhh..." said Yuigi and Gohan in unison. iOf course!/i thought Yuigi, iVegeta is such a cranky guy, and that kid does have Vegeta's blood in him. After all, the guy IS his grandfather./i
Gohan was laughing. "Vegeta, the grandpa!" He paused with his mouth open and looked wide-eyed at the ground. iThat sounds WEIRD!/i
"Is he gone?" came a whisper behind the counter. The three standing by the door suddenly saw a pair of eyes peering over the counter. Chi-Chi's eyes. "That kid scares the crap out of me!"
"MOM!" said Gohan.
"Well, he idoes/i." responded Chi-Chi.
"No, I meant that I'm happy to see you!" laughed Gohan, hugging his mom. "It's been a while, huh?"
"Yeah, I missed you!"
Yuigi and Gohan talked to Goku and Chi-Chi, telling them all about college. They left out a few details, though, like the parties. Meanwhile, Damieon was training with his grandpa over at Capsule Corp.
"Come on Damieon! If you want to be as strong as I am, you have to work harder than that!" laughed Vegeta. Actually, he was quite impressed by the boy; after all, he could walk through walls without blowing them up first, and he also could change the shape of objects by just using his mind. He had amused Vegeta several times by turning Goku's coffee cup into a plate, making the hot liquid spill into his lap. Unfortunatly, Goku and Chi-Chi came to visit them often at Capsule Corp., mainly because Chi-Chi didn't like to be cooped up in her little house all the time. She also liked to have the company of someone she could relate to; Bulma. They both had very different husbands, but those men had one thing in common according to Bulma and Chi-Chi; they didn't have a clue.
Snarling, Damieon transported behind his grandfather and kicked him as hard as he could in the back of his knees, making him go into a crouching position. Vegeta had to be honest with himself; that hurt...a LOT. iHe uses the same fighting methods as his blasted mother!/i noticed Vegeta, remembering the time that he and Ryoko had fought for a very short period of time.
"Okay, I think you have had enough of this for one day." coughed Vegeta.
"Hmph. You just can't take it old man, you fight like a girl!"
Before Vegeta could knock the living daylights out of his grandson, Bulma walked in.
"Don't ever say that again! Girls can fight, too, just look at your mother!"
"Sorry grandma." said Damieon sweetly. "Can you fight?"
"Hmm..lemme try." she said, giving Vegeta a sly look. She walked over and and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Standing there, awfully confused (yet awfully happy), he stated "You didn't even throw a punch, you call that fighting?"
"Maybe I didn't use violence, but I made you weaker all the same." she giggled just before walking out.
"Did she?" mused Damieon. His grandpa may act all tough, but Damieon knew that Vegeta was infatuated by her. Every move that Bulma made had Vegeta eyeing her, and whenever she got sick he took care of her. Of course, he made it look as though he was obligated to do it, but Damieon caught him running his hand through her hair as she slept, with a worried look on his face; as if she was so fragile that the Common Cold would kill her.
Blushing slightly, Vegeta smacked the back of his head. "That's none of your concern!" he yelled, but it only made Damieon laugh harder.
"Yes she did, you looooooove her! You wanna huuuuuuuuuuuuuug her, you wanna kiiiiiiiiiss her, you wanna hoooooooooooold her, you wanna-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH, BOY!" said a furious Vegeta, his voice quavering with frustration. "Now I'm going to kick your scrawny butt next time we train, no holding back!"
"Scrawny?" Damieon shook his rear end. "I have a nice butt."
Rolling his eyes, Vegeta said in exasperation, "You sure are obscene for a boy who's just about to turn seven years old in a few months.
Smiling behind his grandson's back, Vegeta about beamed with pride. The kid had his hair, his smirk, and his attitude. Something that his son did not have, well, not as least as much of it as his grandson did.
Smelling food, a scent that anyone with Saiyian blood could pick up from many miles away, the two trainers walked inside to find Bulma, Trunks, and Ryoko sitting at the dinner table.
"Hey kiddo!" called Ryoko. "Did your visit to Goku's go well? Did you remember to tell Gohan and Yuigi that we're here?"
"I highly despise Goku. He really doesn't have a brain."
Chuckling, Vegeta sat down at the table while Damieon went on.
"They took so long to get there, so I took a nap so that I wouldn't have to listen to Goku talk about how much I looked like a whole bunch of different people. When they came, I found to my disappointment that Gohan acted just as his father, so I just left."
Nobody (execpt for Vegeta) really appreciated Damieon talking about Goku like that, but they had to agree. He wasn't the brightest guy in the world, and Gohan was defiantly cooler when he was a teenager. Sitting down and joining his family, Dameion ate.
Looking at his parents, Damieon got confused. "I thought you were going out to eat at a restaurant. You two are still hungry?"
"I'm not all hungry, but your father is." stated Ryoko.
"You Saiyians eat every meal like there's no tomorrow." sighed Bulma, looking at her son and her husband scarfing down food. iAt least they don't eat as messily as Goku!/i she thought, remembering the last time Goku and Chi-Chi came to visit. There was spaghetti all over the floor, and all over Goku's face. iWhat a slob.../i
"Where do babies come from?" blurted Damieon.
Spitting out his drink, Trunks looked at Damieon. Ryoko's mouth sort of hung open as the corn slid off of her spoon that she was holding by her mouth.
Cracking up, Damieon left the dinner table and started walking upstairs. "I'm only joking, just thought I'd get my amusement for the day."
Shaking her head and smiling, Bulma said, "That is one....different boy. No offense or anything..."
"Believe me, we totally agree." said Ryoko dryly.
Chapter 7: "Yuigi's Decision"
Damieon was upstairs lying on his bed when a knock sounded on the door. "Great, it's those annoying guests again." he sighed. Jumping off of his bed, he smirked. "I'd better go greet them."
A few moments later, Gohan, Goku, Yuigi, Chi-Chi, Vegeta, Ryoko, Bulma, Trunks, Yamcha, Tien, Master Roshi, Chaoutzou, Puar, Oolong and Damieon were all sitting around the living room.
"So, um, Ryoko? When did you have a baby?" asked Oolong, nervously glancing at Damieon again.
"Oh, when we went to the future-time. About seven years ago." she responded, giving a smile to her headstrong boy.
"Go Trunks!" whispered Yamcha, who was sitting on the couch next to Trunks. He just blushed, grinned, and turned away.
After a lot of talking, and very short, rude answers from Damieon if he was asked anything, everyone left. Vegeta and Damieon were sitting on the floor watching a game of football.
"Have you ever played football Vegeta?" asked Damieon, knowing that his grandfather hadn't.
"Why bother? It doesn't even look like a challenge." sneered Vegeta.
"I bet I could kick your butt in football." mumbled Damieon, resting his chin on his arms. They both were lying on their stomachs, staring at the T.V.
Meanwhile, Bulma was in her bedroom. She was thinking about Damieon, and how rotten he could be. Yet, sometimes...well, he could be sweet, too. Smiling to herself, she thought iHe sure does love his grandpa!/i
Ryoko and Trunks were already sleeping upstairs in their room when Vegeta had clicked off the T.V. Seeing that Damieon had fallen asleep, he went to shake his shoulder to wake him, but stopped instead. He noticed that Damieon was actually smiling in his sleep, instead of appearing to be angry as usual. Giving small smile himself, he lifted Damieon up and carried him into his bedroom. Vegeta covered his grandson with a blanket and went off to his own bedroom.
Instead of flying home, Goku, Yuigi, Gohan, and Chi-Chi took the car. Chi- Chi was busy watching the road, making sure her husband didn't drive incorrectly. Meanwhile, in the backseat, Yuigi had her head rested on the window. It was slightly uncomfortable, but the window was cold and made her feel refreshed. Yuigi's sigh stirred Gohan out of his daydream, and he looked over at his girlfriend, smiling.
Once they got home, everyone fell asleep. Yuigi was in the guest bedroom; Gohan was in his own. Chi-Chi slept with Goku as usual, bothered by his snoring. Laughing to herself quietly, she grabbed one of his foul socks off the floor (one of the ones he wore while training for hours) and stuffed it into his mouth. After a few moments, he woke up and spat it out.
"GROSS!!!" he yelled. Wiping the saliva off of his mouth, he glared at Chi- Chi, who was 'sound asleep'. Shrugging, he tried to go back to sleep, but heard a soft giggle coming from under the blankets. Lifting them up, he saw his wife clasping both hands over her mouth, shaking with laughter. Chi-Chi opened one eye and ceased her laughing as Goku gave her a dirty look, and laughed softly himself. He leaned over to give her a kiss, but she placed her hands over over his mouth.
"No way, mister, not after you had that disgusting sock in your mouth!"
"Hey! It's your fault!"
Hearing the laughter coming from her boyfriend's parent's bedroom, Yuigi took the chance to creep silently to Gohan's room. She opened the door, and wasn't surprised to see him in bed, reading a book. He was just wearing sweatpants and his reading glasses. When he heard the door creak open, he looked up sharply and his eyes widened. He saw his girlfriend standing in his doorway wearing a white tank top that said "Q.T." in bold red letters on it, and plaid-red boxer shorts.
"Hey." he said, a tone of surprise in his voice.
Yuigi walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek, climbing onto his bed and snuggling up against him.
He smiled and untied her braided pony-tail, running his fingers through her hair which was still a bit wet, since she put it up in a braid right after she showered. Resting her head on his chest, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
iChi-Chi and Goku's anniversary was in two days, so they decided to take a week-long vacation. This left Gohan and Yuigi alone. Uh oh.../i
iA few weeks after Chi-Chi and Goku's return.../i
"Are you SURE you're okay, dear?" questioned Chi-Chi sympathetically as she gazed at Yuigi, who was leaning over the toilet after throwing up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Probably just the flu or something." said Yuigi weakly as she brushed her teeth and walked back to her room. Lying in bed, a thought ran past Yuigi's mind and she shot up out of bed as if someone had caught her by surprise. After she showered and got dressed, Yuigi dragged Gohan to the car.
"We have to go to the doctor!" she whispered. "RIGHT NOW!"
But it was too late, Chi-Chi had stepped out the door. "Hey, where are you guys going? Yuigi, you shouldn't be traveling when you're sick!"
"Uhh..Gohan is taking me to the doctor. Just in case I have something other than the flu!" responded Yuigi nervously.
"Oh okay!"
Goku poked his head out of the window. "Would you mind bringing back some food for me?"
"Nope, we'll stop at the Dragon Star to pick something up for you!"
Once they were in the car driving off, Gohan looked toward Yuigi. "What would you have other than the flu?" he asked softly.
"Your baby." answered Yuigi flatly.
Gohan swerved in zigzags across the road until he finally got himself under control. Stopping the car as he took deep breaths, he stared his bewildered girlfriend. "P-p-regg-gnant? But how?"
"Are you ireally/i going to make me answer that?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, er....maybe I ido/i have the flu!" she answered optimistically. "I bet we'll go right into the doctor's office, and they'll say, "Nope, it's just the flu! You're not pregnant!
"You're pregnant."
Yuigi and Gohan glared at the bull-necked doctor, who was wiping the lenses of his wire-rimmed glasses on his white jacket.
Gohan let out a small gasp, gave the doctor a side-ways smile before falling backwards in his chair, passed out.
"Oh that's ireally/i original, Gohan!" said Yuigi sarcastically as the doctor chuckled.
"Congratulations." he bellowed as he stood.
"Wait, no no no!" Yuigi stood also, placing her hand in front of the doctor. "What do I do?"
"Well...uh..." mumbled the doctor, unsure of how to answer the question. "You...can check back with me twice every month to see how the pregnancy is going or....uh...you can get an abortion."
"No! I won't do that, that's terrible." gasped Yuigi.
The doctor smiled. "Well then, I'll see you in three weeks!"
Yuigi had to drive the car home, since Gohan kept passing out every time he saw a child on the street. Eventually his shock was reduced to severe shaking.
"We're home!" sighed Yuigi, shutting the door behind her as she entered the San household. Goku was snoring on the couch, and Chi-Chi had a peculiar look etched in her face.
"So, how'd it go?" she asked in an equally peculiar voice. She sat down beside Goku, with her arms crossed. Her gaze never met Yuigi's; she only glared at the wall ahead of her.
Gulping, Yuigi wrung her hands together nervously. "Uh, well, eh...I ido/i have the flu, heh!"
Chi-Chi stared at Yuigi, then noticed Gohan. He was shaking with his eyes wide, and struggling to make his way into the next room.
"And I suppose Gohan suddenly got the flu, too?"
"Heh....you know how it spreads!" laughed Yuigi nervously, avoiding Chi- Chi's sharp gaze.
"Hmm...you know what I think? I don't think you would have gone to the doctor if you suspected that you had a mere flu. And I don't think you'd be so nervous, and I don't think that my son would look like he just saw a ghost. iDo you know what I think?/i
"W-ww-hat?" cried Yuigi.
"YOU GUYS CRASHED THE CAR INTO SOMETHING WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION, DIDN'T YOU?!?!"
Yuigi fell over, and stood up exhaling a sigh of relief. "You caught me, Chi-Chi, you really did. We didn't go to the doctor...we went to the auto shop. Gohan and I look so nervous since the repair price is a lil' expensive."
Chi-Chi frowned. "Well, we are NOT paying for it. The money is coming out of your pocket as well as Gohan's."
Yuigi bowed her head. "I'm really sorry."
"You guys are still young anyway. Accidents happen!"
"Tell me about it." mumbled Yuigi under her breath as she made her way into the kitchen.
Chapter 7: "Secret's Out!"
"No offense, Yuigi, but you look like you're gaining a lil' weight?" chuckled Shelly. Yuigi looked down sheepishly at her stomach.
"Yeah, heh, I guess Chi-Chi IS a great cook after all!"
The professor was greeting them after the summer, but Yuigi could hardly pay attention in her classes. Not even after the first full week back at college.
"D-ddropping out? You mean that my Gohan is going to marry a woman without an education?!"
Yuigi fell over as she talked to Chi-Chi on the phone on Saturday. "Yes, Chi-Chi, I decided that college just wasn't for me. It's not really what I dreamed of doing anyway, ya know? Some people just don't go to college."
"Well...I..." stammered Chi-Chi.
"By the way, just because I don't want to continue college doesn't mean that I don't have an education. I happened to help out a scientific GENIUS in her lab during my childhood, so I do know certain things!" added Yuigi crisply, placing her hands on her hips as if it would intimidate a woman who was hours away.
"Well, YOUNG lady," said Chi-Chi sharply, as if to intimidate her right back, "What plans do you have if you're not going to college? My son is not going to be making all of your money to support you."
Yuigi slapped her forehead. iI practically took over the world while I was merely a child, I THINK I can support myself!/i
"Well, Chi-Chi, I guess I'll just have to find something I enjoy doing and find a job to match it!" stated Yuigi.
Chi-Chi sighed in exasperation over the phone, making Yuigi's eye twitch. iShe just doesn't give up, does she?i thought Yuigi.
"I can tell you one thing, missy, you aren't going to be lounging around the house watching T.V. while my son is out in the REAL world making the money to support the two of you!" Chi-Chi paused and Yuigi placed her hand on her round stomach.
"You aren't going to be some lazy woman who has absolutely no job whatsoever, and has no responsibilities whatsoever!" yelled Chi-Chi.
Grinding her teeth, Yuigi screamed, "I THINK BEING A MOTHER IS GOING TO BE A JOB AND A RESPONSABILITY THAT IS MORE THAN A HANDFUL, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME LAZY!" As soon as those words slipped Yuigi's tongue, she regretted speaking them. Her hand slid to her mouth, covering it, as if it would somehow make the words disappear. But, it didn't.
"Moth...maa.......mm-mmot-t-t-tthheer?! Mother....MMMMMMOOOOOOOTHHHHEEEEERRRR????!!!!" shrieked Chi-Chi. "YOU'RE PREGNANT? BUT HOW?"
Yuigi fell over once again. "Yes, Chi-Chi. A mother. ME." she said quietly.
"SEE? YOU'VE JUST PROVED TO ME ALREADY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY RESPONSABILITY...YOU'RE HAVING A CHILD AND YOU'RE BARELY IN YOUR TWENTIES! YOU DON'T HAVE A HOUSE, A JOB, OR...ANYTHING!"
Yuigi clenched her fist, but tried to keep her trembling voice calm. "Gohan and I did everything that a RESPONSABLE couple can possibly try to do to prevent having a chi-"
"Responsible couples DO NOT HAVE BABIES!"
Tears of frustration slid out of the corners of Yuigi's eyes. "Gohan and I love each other very, very, very much and we'll find a way to deal with this! And listening to you scream at me is not a good way to start handling things, so GOODBYE!" Yuigi slammed the phone down on the receiver, and placed her head in her hands as she sat down. When she started crying, she felt a hand gently rubbing her back. She saw Gohan's face stare down at her through her watery eyes.
"It's okay hun, it's okay." he whispered while he held her. She rested her head on his shoulder. "It's okay...my mom is a control freak, but it'll be okay." he whispered as Yuigi half laughed and half sobbed into his sleeve.
