Ch.14: Recovery
Gohan sat in a chair of the living room staring at a bottle of beer. Goten and Bra were discussing the method that he was using.
"Goten he has a full bottle sitting right in front of him." Bra said.
"Well if it helps-" Goten started.
"Helps?" Bra questioned. "Goten are you that dull? He needs professional help."
"Don't you think I've tried to tell him that?"
"He's so upset about Videl." Bra told her fiancée. "How long do you think?"
"I think he needs about three or four years." Goten answered. "We are going to have to watch him closely though."
"I know." Bra mumbled. "It's too bad my father is going to miss our wedding."
"We could always postpone-" Goten reasoned.
"No, I am not going to make the delay any more we are going through with our marriage." Bra told Goten shortly. They had already put their wedding on hold twice. The first time was because Bra was too young and they were forced to wait. The second time Bra found out that she was pregnant just four days before the wedding. Unfortunatly, Bra miscarried sixteen weeks into her pregnancy.
"I am going to call the hospital rehab center to see if they have an opening." Goten finally said.
"Why?" Bra asked surprised.
"Gohan is going to have to go." Goten said taking out his cell phone. "If he tries to recover alone he'll never make it. There are too many distractions."
"I'll go talk to him." Bra said kissing Goten and heading for the living room. Gohan's eyes were locked on the bottle but he looked up at Bra and smiled.
"Hey Bra." He said. Bra sat on the edge of the coffee table.
"How are you holding up?" Bra asked. Gohan sent a very small energy blast at the bottle which missed and went through the window. "That good huh?"
"They hate me." Gohan mumbled. "My wife hates me. My daughter even hates me."
"They don't hate you." Pan told her brother-in-law-to-be. "They could never hate you."
"Bra," Gohan said tears beginning to fall from his face, "They didn't think twice before they walked through the door."
"You just think about sobering up for a while so we can bring them home." Bra told Gohan. "Do you mind if I suggest something?"
"Go ahead." Gohan muttered.
"Go to a rehab center."
"I will."
"You will?"
"Yes because if you look at that bottle I've drank most of it." Sure enough when Bra picked up the bottle there was only a quarter of the bottle left. "Whose driving?"

Well now that Gohan is on the road to recovery what will become of Videl?
