~Thank you once again to everybody who read and reviewed my story! I really
appreciate it. Please R&R! God Bless and enjoy!
"I HAVE A WHAT??" Goten yelped, stunned.
Chi Chi turned to face her son, one hand on her hip and the other one holding her trademark pan. "Goten," she said calmly. "Saiigwai here is your sister, and you are going to love her. Is that clear?" She looked at him menacingly.
Goten gulped. "Sorry mom." He muttered.
Jessica was confused. The woman seemed to love her, but she wasn't too sure about the other 3. Did they want her? Tears filled her eyes as she bit her lip nervously.
Gohan glanced at her and immediately his heart went out to her. How awkward it must be for her! Finding out that she was adopted, a half alien, meeting her new family and having to go through the ordeal of watching his mom threaten his brother. Gohan shuddered. He cleared his throat, and turned to where Jacob was standing, amused by the scene in front of him. "Are you guys going to be spending the night here, or do you guys need to get back home?"
Jacob looked at the clock. "Oh no! Come along now Jessica, or we'll be late for the chores!"
Chi Chi turned to the two, her eyes filled again with tears.
"Don't worry Chi Chi! I promise we'll visit tomorrow." Jacob assured her.
She nodded and walked them out of the door.
Once Jessica was safely on Jacob's back, he levitated and flew off towards home.
They flew the entire way in silence. Each deep in their own thoughts.
When they arrived, one look on at them and Grace knew.
She sighed, and gave Jacob a, "why didn't you wait for me to tell her with you" kind of look.
He looked away and walked briskly towards the barn.
Jessica followed Grace, her mother back into the house to help make dinner. For a long time, neither of them spoke. Finally, Grace broke the silence.
"Jessica," She said quietly. "We're both sorry we didn't tell you earlier."
Jessica looked at her mother. "Are you going to make me go and live with them now?" She asked worriedly.
"Do you want to go?"
"No! They're ways are so...different from ours. Everything there is so worldly".
"Yes, I know. They love you very much. Especially Chi Chi and Goku."
"Um...yeah..."
Grace laughed. "I know that Chi Chi can be a bit frightening at times, and all Goku seems to care about is food. But that's just the way they are. Get to know them a bit." She paused. "Do you remember the time when it 'rained fire'?"
Jessica nodded, and shuddered. Only 2 years ago, there had been massive earthquakes and fireball like things shot through the air. But the most frightening thing of all was the power. The great power she felt. She couldn't quite understand what or where it came from. She hadn't told anyone, for she had feared that they'll only laugh at her.
"There was actually a great battle being fought on the othe side of the earth. Goku and the others risked their lives to save the earth." She didn't mention the fact that Goku had died saving the world, only to be revived by the Dragon Balls. Too much for one day.
"My...my father saved the world?" Jessica whispered.
Grace nodded. "Goku and the others are like, special people that God placed on the earth to help us. They were sent to help protect the universe, kind of like when God had the judges save the children of Israel."
"Mother," She said suddenly. "Can you fly too?"
Grace chuckled. "Yes I can."
Dinner was ready, and the rest of the family started to come in from their chores.
"Jessica, It'll be best if you don't tell anyone else about this."
Jessica nodded obediently and walked to serve the rest of the family dinner.
~Sorry about the very short chapter! I'm getting writer's block! Please please give me suggestions on what you want in the next chapters! Well, I hope you liked it...this chapter was made up mostly from the conversation between Jessica and her mother. I promise more action in the future! And for those of you who haven't realized yet, I had decided to continue the Dragon Ball tradition of naming the characters after either household items or foods. Saiigwai means 'watermelon', Gwai means melon and Baela means pear. All 3 names are in Chinese, Cantonese to be exact. ^-^
