Disclaimer~I don't nothing.

     "Mrs. Son? Are you still there?" The voice sounded concerned.

     "Yes. Yes I'm here. Thank you. I'll call you later to set up a follow up." Chichi pushed herself up from the wall and said her goodbye before hanging up. Then she looked at little Goten and smiled. She grinned even. She picked up Goten and twirled. "You're going to have a little brother or sister!" Goten cooed and clapped his hands. It was almost as if he knew what she was saying. She put him down and began humming as she picked up the phone. Dialing the number to C.C., she began wondering what to name her baby. She heard the ringing and it seemed as though it was in tune with her humming. She heard a *click* as someone picked up.

     "Hello?"

     Chichi recognized the voice as Bulma's mother. "Hello Mrs. Briefs. It's me Chichi. Can you put Goku on the phone?"

     There was an awkward silence until Mrs. Briefs said, "Uh, honey, Goku isn't here. He, Bulma, Vegeta, and Trunks left, saying that they were going to pick up Gohan and Piccolo and go visit the gang. And they didn't pick up Goten because Goku wanted to let him sleep. They won't be back for a week or so."

     Chichi's mind went blank. Mrs. Briefs was still talking, but she didn't hear a word of it. Finally she cut into the tirade of explanations and other nonsense. "I'll be going now." She hung up, for once forgetting about manners, and slid down the wall to the floor where she buried her face in her knees. Why didn't he tell me before he left? Do I mean that little to him? A new thought struck her. What if…what if he only likes his sons? And if this baby is a girl, will he appreciate her if she can't fight that good? Will he discriminate against her? Leave her like he leaves me? The rational part of her brain wasn't working in her state of anger, sadness, and disbelief; otherwise she would have remembered that the baby was a half Saiyan as well.

     It was at this time that baby Goten saw how sad his mommy was and toddled up to her. He offered her his pacifier. Chichi looked up and smiled, her eyes wet with tears. She drew him into a bear hug. A plan was beginning to worm its way into her brain. She looked at Goten, snuggled in her arms. "Goten, honey, would you be mad at mommy if she took a vacation?" Goten looked up at her.

     "Mommy tired?" His question was so innocent that Chichi had to laugh.

     "Yes muffin. Mommy's really tired." Goten's face became so serious that it was almost comical.

     " Den, take big vaction." He stumbled over the big word. Chichi smiled sadly. She wanted to take Goten with her, but that would make Gohan even sadder and she wanted them both to have a peaceful life. She picked him up and put him to bed as she packed. She had arrangements to make.

     She picked up the phone and called Mrs. Briefs. She apologized for hanging up and asked if she could possibly watch Goten. Mrs. Briefs cheerfully said, "Yes" and they hung up. When Goten woke up, she was already packed. She put him in his car seat and loaded her trunks with all her stuff from over the many years. She didn't wear her regular dress, rather a white one with flowers on it. [A/N it was a dress I saw during the Android Saga and I thought it was pretty^-^] She returned to her small house one last time to write Goku and Gohan a note. Then she started the car and drove in the direction of C.C. Not once did she look back.

     When she got to C.C., she unbuckled Goten and rang the doorbell. "Goten, be a good boy. Mommy might return someday. But know that I will always love you." She hugged him and stood back up just as a maid answered the door. She let the maid, Florence, take him and gave him a wave before driving off. No one saw the tears on her cheeks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

     Goku and Gohan landed just outside the door, Gohan carrying Goten. Goku threw open the door and raced in, Gohan right behind him. Goku had been alarmed when they had returned to C.C. after they returned from their friends. There, they had found a worried Mr. And Mrs. Briefs and a happy Goten. They learned that chichi had dropped him off a week and a half ago. The Son men had then taken Goten and flown home as fast as they could.

     Goku stopped at the bottom of the stairs and yelled "CHICHI? YOU HERE?" Gohan put Goten down as he saw the note on the kitchen table.

     "Dad." Gohan's voice drifted to Goku and he walked into the kitchen. Gohan silently handed Goku the note and ran to his room, taking Goten with him.

     Goku read the note silently.

     Dear Goku, Gohan, and Goten,

   Please forgive me for leaving you. I know that you might miss me, but I'm sure that if you train or something, you'll get over me.

   And do not worry about me. I won't commit suicide, because if I were to, our newest baby would die as well. And I want the baby to have a good, long life.

   And don't worry. I'm sure that if you were to live at C.C., you can have cooking that is as good as mine and someone to look after you. I love you and I will miss you, but I probably won't come back. So don't bother looking for me.

Love,

Chichi
