Hey hey everyone!
I read your reviews and am very pleased that you all seem to like my story! Ok Ok I know that the whole "Verve" thing was kind of corny but I needed to put something! I have major writers block while writing my chapters. And I know the name is weird. I was listening to a song by The Verve when I was writing this and couldn't think of a name so I decided on that. Oh, and if you think that I shouldn't have the Verve come up again please tell me! I do am to please all you people! I'm am using a different computer to write this chapter it doesn't have microsoft word so if I have numerous errors I am so sorry! My sister broke my regular computer (You take out the hard drive AFTER you turn off the computer!) and I'm stuck with this. Sorry if the writing of this story is confusing to Midnight Shadow. I will try on Chpater to make it less confusing but since I'm on a different computer I'm not going to bother. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Last Chapter: Gohan became a Verve but is now back too normal but he still blames himself for his Father's death. Chi Chi told Bulma that she is pregnant.


Chapter 3:


"You're... You're WHAT?" Bulma practically screamed the last part. Vegeta was now looking at Chi Chi as if the woman had gone insane. "How... how far along are you?" Bulma said in a exassperated voice. "About 6 months" stated Chi Chi. Vegeta walked over to where the two women were sitting. "Does Gohan know?" said Vegeta. "No, he doesn't. I found out after they had been away with all of their training."

Chi Chi looked over to her son who was still on the couch. Tears were brought to her eyes as she could see pain written all over the distrought boy. 'How is he going to take this?' she thought. She was afraid that Gohan's attitude was going to change and that his brother or sister would never get to see the real Gohan; just the one full of pain.

"Bulma, do you think Gohan will be Ok?" Asked Chi Chi. Bulma replied, "Of course he will. He is a fighter. He'll get through this; we'll all get through this." "Are you going to let the boy train anymore?" Vegeta spoke. Chi Chi got a scowl on her face. "I don't want him too. Look at where all of this fighting got us! Goku is dead, several other people were dead, and Gohan blames himself! His studies are way too important for fighting."

"He needs too. He needs to get rid of his anger some how or it will build up and we don't want that. He will become happier if he fights, something to distract him. He can come train with me; I need a worthy opponent." Vegeta said. Chi Chi and Bulma both looked at Vegeta. It was odd at how caring he could be at times.

Chi Chi gave this some thought. "Fine but only because it will help him. He can train after he studies." "You're making a wise decision" stated Vegeta. On the couch opposite the 3 adults, Gohan began to stir.

"Gohan?" Chi Chi said. Slowly the young warrior opened his eyes to find that he was in his home. "What... what happened?" he asked. "You pasted out" Vegeta said emotinessly.

Suddenly Gohan remembered what happened earlier that day. Cell... his Father... his mother... He slowly sat up and let his head sag. Gohan then looked over at his mother. Her eyes... they seemed so sad. He had caused this pain. Something in his heart shattered when he saw her eyes. To him they looked so sad and empty at the same time. It was as if she was mad at him; he took the love of her life away. Gohan had tears brimming in his eyes. He hated the look that she had. He put his head down so he couldn't see 'the look'.

The next thing Gohan felt was a pair of arms wrapping around him. He saw that it was his Mother. "It's alright dear, you're home now" said Chi Chi. Bulma and Vegeta decided that they should leave as to give Gohan time with his Mother. "I'm sorry," was all Gohan said. Chi Chi noticed that his voice had no emotion too it. "It's not you're fault honey. It's no one's fault," Chi Chi said soothingly.

Gohan noticed no anger came from her. She was only giving comfort. Why is she doing this? Why doesn't she hate me? I killed Dad... no matter what anyone says it was my fault. He thought back to how her eyes looked, so much pain yet she acted as if nothing bad had happened. Gohan looked up into her eyes. The pain was there but then there was comfort. He couldn't take it anymore and broke down into her arms.

Over the next 2 weeks Chi Chi noticed that Gohan was very emotionless. He still did his studies, and ate tons as Saiyins do but there was the obvious change. She had had many talks with him about how this wasn't his fault but there was no mistaking it, he would have to get over this by himself. Piccolo had stopped by yesterday and talked with Gohan and this helped a little. Gohan looked up to Piccolo but only so much Piccolo said Gohan would listen to right now.

Chi Chi still hadn't told Gohan about the baby. She was afraid at how he would react and wanted him to start feeling a bit better and then she would tell him.

She had been very sad when she heard that Goku was gone. He wouldn't be able to see their new born child and this hurt her. She tried to act normal around Gohan but sometimes it got hard and she just had to cry. She did this after leaving Gohan to his lonesome though. She thought that if he saw her cry, he would feel even worse.

Just then Gohan exited his room. "Done you're studies dear?" "Yes mom," said Gohan. Chi Chi had had enough of this. She was going to tell Gohan about the baby.

"Gohan, please sit down on the couch. I have something to tell you," Chi Chi said. Gohan did as he was told although he did it looking uninterested. "Gohan, I'm pregnant." Chi Chi said flatly. She wasn't one to beat around the bush you know. Gohan looked at her stunned. "You're... you're... having another child?" Gohan said. He was shocked beyound belief.

"Yes Gohan I am. I am having another child and he/she will have a happy life you hear? You better perk up when this baby comes because it would hurt them if they saw you upset. They will look up to you and you know that." Chi Chi stated. She was tired of having Gohan mope around. The more she thought of it now, this should cheer him up! To have someone happy running around the house that would make him smile. Chi Chi went on, "I know it's hard for you right now, well, it's hard for both of us but we need to make sure you're sibling has a wonderful life. You understand?"

Gohan was even more shocked at how his mother was telling him to be 'happier'. "I understand," said Gohan. He walked back to his room quietly. He closed the door and slid down to the floor. He then started thinking about the baby. "He wont have a Father... all he'll have is a Mother and a murdering brother..." Gohan expected the tears to come but they didn't. He started noticing that he didn't cry anymore. After the first week he had just stopped. He thought that he had cried himself out, no more tears left to shed.

He was watching the news one day and saw that several people had died in a bombing and usually he would feel for the families but he didn't. He just sat there watching the screen seeing people cry but he felt no sympathy. He started thinking that his heart had hardened from all the pain he was experiencing. He hated it but couldn't help it. Only time would let his open wounds heal.

The next day Gohan's Mother entered his room while he was studying Calculus. "Gohan?" "Yes Mother?" he said not looking up from his work. "Vegeta wants you to go over to his house so you two can train. Is that Ok?" Chi Chi said. Gohan could tell by his mom's voice that she wanted him to go and he didn't want her thinking that he was helpless in his time of healing. "I guess. Just let me finish up here all right?" He saw a smile go over his Mother's face. 'He's so dedicated to his studies!' Chi Chi thought.

When Gohan had finished he changed into an old gi he had laying around and flew over to Vegeta's. He used to love to fly. It used to give him a sense of being free, but now his mind was clouded with thoughts that he didn't feel it. When he reached Vegeta's place he knocked on the front door.

Bulma answered it. "Gohan! Please come in!" she said happily. "Vegeta asked me to come, where is he?" Bulma sensed hurt in the child's voice. 'He still must be upset. Hopefully Vegeta can help him.' "He's in the gravity room. Just go on in." she said. Gohan nodded and proceeded to walk to the gravity room. Before he could get very far Bulma called out, "Gohan?" he turned around just to be embraced by Bulma. "We love you Gohan and don't blame you for any of this. You know that right?" He hugged her back saying, "Yes." They let go of eachother and Gohan saw a tear fall from Bulma. "Well, Go on and find Vegeta ok?" "Yes." Gohan turned and walked away.





Whew... finished this chapter. I started thinking and thought that I don't really need a mailing list since I update everyday! As we can all tell Gohan is still in his depressed state but hopefully things will change!
