AN: Hi all! Here's another one of my favorite songfics. It's called Missing You. Enjoy!
* * *
~Standing here looking out my window
1 My nights are long and my days are cold
Cause I don't have you
How can I be so damn demanding?~
ChiChi sat at her kitchen table coffee cup in hand. She was staring out her small kitchen window.
'I can't remember the last time I only had one plate to wash,' she thought with a small smile.
Yamucha had dragged Gohan out on one of his girl hunts. She didn't like the idea of Gohan chasing women, but she decided it was time to let him make his own decisions. Well, some of them anyway. Goten and Trunks had begged her until she had let Goten go over Bulma's. She felt bad leaving Bulma with three Saiyan appetites, but the only other choice was to keep them herself. Those two were way too much for one woman to handle. Bulma, at least, had Vegeta's help.
~I know you said that it's over now
2 But I can't let go
Everyday I want to pick up the phone
And tell you that you're everything I need and more
If only I could find you~
It was nights like these when she missed him the most. She had never had the same stimulating conversations with him that she now had with Gohan but it was nice just being with him.
She had never told him how much she enjoyed his company.
ChiChi shook her head. She was not and, I repeat, was not going to get all sad and depressed during her first quiet time in months. She was going to clean her home. It always gave her a certain peace to set her home to rights.
3 ~Like a cold summer afternoon
Like a snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a Groom
I'm missing you
I'm the desert without the sun
4 You're the one and without a doubt
I'm the ring without a hand
I'm missing you~
As she went through her living room with the duster she stopped at her end table. Here there was a clutter of pictures both new and old. She picked one and regretted as soon as she did. It was her wedding photo. She remembered how their wedding had almost been ruined. There had been another great evil that Goku had had to vanquish. She had been so worried about him. She always was. As she sniffled, she wondered what he was doing at that moment. 'Probably eating Heaven out of house and home,' she thought with a smile.
~Driving around thought I saw you pass me
My rearview mirrors playing tricks on me
Cause you fade away
5 Maybe I'm just hallucinating
6 Cause my loneliness has got the best of me and my hearts so weak
Everyday I want to pick up the phone
7 And tell you that you're everything I need and more
If only I could find you~

The next photo was a picture of her boys.
Gohan.
He was her first born and the only reason she survived those first few months after Goku's refusal to come back. There were times when she just wanted to die, but then she would look at her baby and know she had to be strong. Then she had learned she was pregnant.
She fingered Goten's face lightly. He was so much like his father that it almost hurt her to look at him sometimes. And just like his father he amazed her everyday. She was secretly proud that he had become a super Saiyin so young. She just hoped that neither Gohan nor Vegeta found out, because if they did she would loses the last man in her life to fighting as well.
She looked over their happy faces in the photo. She wished Goku could see how well they were growing up.
~Like a cold summer afternoon
Like a snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a Groom
I'm missing you
9 I'm the desert without the sun
You're the one and without a doubt
I'm the ring without a hand
I'm missing you~
The next photo was a group picture. ChiChi hadn't wanted to go on the outing but Bulma had kept pestering her, telling her it would be fun to get out the house. Bulma had finally won because Vegeta refused to go if ChiChi didn't have to be 'tortured' too. Bulma had been trying to do the right thing but she didn't know that she only had caused ChiChi more pain.
They had reached the picnic site and Goten and Trunks had disappeared. She could've spent the day with Gohan but he had decided to go to the movies instead. So ChiChi had spent the day alone watching her friends enjoy themselves.
Krillin and 18 had protectively watched Marron as she played with a rattle, small smiles on their faces. Goku had looked at her and Gohan the same way Krillin was looking at 18 and Marron. She had looked away because the scene hurt to watch. She had turned to see Bulma laughing as she tried to force- feed Vegeta the cake she had made. ChiChi smiled sadly. You would never have seen her having to force feed Goku anything.

Like a snow coming down in June

She looked over all her memories sitting right there on that table and tears started to well up in her eyes. Damn, she had promised herself she wouldn't do this. Obviously, cleaning hadn't done much to lighten her mood. She wiped her eyes and started putting up her cleaning supplies. She would not sit all alone in her house and cry. She was stronger than that.
~Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
10 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say cause I'm, I'm missing youuu yeah
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like a snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a Groom
I'm missing you~
After showering, ChiChi climbed into bed. It was funny how after 5 and a half years she could still feel him next to her in bed. She thought how it had felt to have his arms around her and she felt the sobs growing in her throat. They had conceived two children in this bed. Gohan's bassinet had sat at the end of this same bed. Goku would get up when he cried at night and rock him back to sleep. ChiChi had secretly watched her husbands' interaction with their son and had stored it up for later days. Goten's bassinet had sat in the same place. Goku hadn't been able to rock him to sleep. At the thought, ChiChi's tears broke free. Heartbreaking, gut- wrenching sobs tore themselves from deep within her. She had never felt such grief, agony and pain in her entire life. She cried for her husband, she cried for her sons, but most of all she cried for herself.

Gohan unlocked the door and entered the house. Boy, was he ever glad to be home. He hated going out with Yamucha and he was sure Yamucha felt the same way. Yamucha was a great guy and everything but Gohan just wasn't into women chasing. He walked right pass the kitchen having already eaten and headed towards his room. He stopped by his mother's door to tell her he was home. What he heard at her door, broke his heart. He knew his mother wasn't coping as well as she tried to make people think, he just hadn't known how hard a time she was having. He opened the door and walked in. She had tucked herself into a small ball and was crying her heart out. Gohan sat on the bed and pulled his sobbing mother into his arms.
"I – just- miss him- so much," she said through her tears.
"I know," was all Gohan could say. He hugged her tighter to his chest and let cry her pain away.
~I can't say more I can't say no more baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
12 Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah …………
