Summary: Goku and Chichi discuss where to go from here and Goku confronts
Vivica!
Warnings: Mild cursing
IMPORTANT A/N: OK, I read in the reviews that some of you want Chichi to wait to take him back because it would be unrealistic for her to take him back the same day that she found him cheating. And this would be true under most circumstances, but in this story, Chichi feels guilty because she distanced herself from him not only emotionally but physically as well. Therefore she feels somewhat responsible for Goku's unfaithfulness. Now before you flame me saying no one can 'make some cheat', I already know that. I've stated that myself at the end of chapter 10(I think it was chap.10). But the point I'm trying to get you all to understand is that by pushing him away and causing him to feel unwanted, which no one should do to anyone that they love, she put him into a state where he could easily give in to temptation; like he did! So, I'm not going to have Chichi kick him out, BUT, that doesn't mean I'm going to have them hop right into the sac either, so bare with me! They have to begin the healing process to starting mending their relationship. Phew!! I know that was extremely long, but very important to read. But I'll shut up now!

NOW, ON WITH THE FIC!!!
Chap.12 Picking up the Pieces
Bulma and Gohan took a window table at Mrs. Swirly's Ice-cream Parlor. They both ordered hot fudge sundaes; of course Gohan had four compared to the normal 'one' like Bulma.
"What do you think they're talking about at home Bulma?," Gohan asked as he finished off his third sundae.
"Uh....well...um....I'm not sure honey," Bulma stuttered out. She couldn't tell him the truth. No child should know such things. He would be devastated.
"Maybe there talking about Daddy coming back home!," he suggested happily with a mouthful of ice-cream.
"Maybe," she responded with a forced smile. She wasn't sure how long she should keep Gohan out. She didn't want to bring him back to early if Chichi was still having it out with Goku.
~~I'd better call to see if the coast is clear. If not, I'll just have to find something else to do to keep Gohan distracted
"Gohan, I'm going to use the phone. Stay here. I'll be right back, OK?," she said as she got up from the table, leaving her half eaten sundae.
"OK!," he replied happily as he continued to kill off his last sundae.
Bulma pulled a quarter out of her pocket as she walked to the payphone.
At Vivica's apartment:
Vivica was still pissed off. Mainly because she now had a swollen cheek, black and blue bruises on her arms and a slight cut above her right eyebrow.
"That bitch is going to pay for damaging my beautiful face. I know she's just jealous of me. Especially since I took Goku away from her. Oh well. Who said be desirable by men would be easy?," she said to herself with a slight chuckle.
She made her way to her bedroom and changed into a pair of hip hugger jeans, a black tank top, and a pair of black and white sneakers. She glanced at the clock. It was now 5:00.
"Goku should've been home by now. I wonder what's keeping him? He told me after he was done training with his son he would be right back and......Oh no!!! THAT WENCH!!!! She's probably the reason he isn't home yet!!!," Vivica screamed as she ran into the kitchen and pulled out a phonebook from one of the drawers.
"She's probably telling him some lie about me starting the fight and is trying to wiggle her way back into his life!! Well I'm not going to stand for it!!," Vivica yelled to herself as she furiously flipped through the pages of the phonebook trying to find the Son residence phone number, with the telephone in her other hand.
"Ha!! Found it!," she exclaimed, extremely satisfied with herself as she dialed the number. "Now I'm going to put a stop to this once and for all!!!"
At the Son Residence:
Chichi and Goku's sobs had subsided and they were now just holding each other in a comfortable silence. Goku's rested his cheek on top of her head. He purred deep in his throat as he lovingly stroked her hair, firmly pressing her to his body with his free arm. Chichi had her arms wrapped around his waist, while cradled on his lap like a small child, and was stroking his back with her soft hands. She would slightly close her eyes now and then as Goku continued to stroke her hair. Suddenly the sound of the telephone broke their peaceful state and neither one of them wanted to move. The annoying ringing wouldn't stop. Chichi let out a frustrated sigh and moved to answer the phone only to be stopped by Goku.
"I'll get it," he said as he gently stood up, with her still in his lap. He softly placed her on her feet and made his way over to the phone.
"Hello," he answered in a low, groggy voice.
"Hey Goku, It's me Bulma."
"Oh, Hey Bulma. How's Gohan? Everything OK?," he asked a little worried. The slight worry in his voice grabbed Chichi's attention a she quickly stood next to her husband.
"Yeah! Gohan's totally fine," she responded.
"What's wrong," Chichi whispered. Goku shook his head reassuringly as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. She leaned her head against his shoulder and put her arms around his waist.
"I was just calling because I was wondering what time I should bring Gohan back. I didn't want to come back to soon if you guys were still.....you know....'talking'", Bulma put emphases on the word talk so Goku would catch her drift.
"We're OK Bulma. We're both still alive anyway," he said with a slight chuckle. Both Bulma and Chichi gave a small smile. "But we still have a lot to talk about, you know? We've some things to sort out," he continued in a small voice.
"I understand," she replied with a sympathetic tone. "Hey!! I've got an idea! Why not let Gohan spend the night at my house. That way you two can take your time and have some privacy."
"Would you do that Bulma?! That would be great! Thanks so much. Tell Gohan me and his mom love him for us, OK?"
"Sure. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye"
"Bye Bulma and thanks again."
They both hung up.
"What happened? What did she say?," Chichi asked as she looked up at Goku, with her arms still around his waist.
"Nothing happened," he said as he brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face. "She's just going to keep Gohan overnight to give us a chance to be alone so we could talk things out," he finished, then planted another kiss on her forehead and hugged her tighter.
They made their way into the livingroom, with their arms still wrapped around each other. They sat down on the couch and Chichi slightly broke from his embrace to better look at his face.
"Goku, I love you and I want to work things out. I want our marriage to work."
"So do I Chichi. There's nothing else in the world more important to me than us being together; us being a family again."
They embraced and Chichi buried her face in his shoulder as he wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Oh Goku. I've missed you so much," she said. Her voice muffled from her face being buried in his shirt.
"And I've missed you Chichi," he whispered back in her hair.
"You have to break it off with.....her!," Chichi said as she sat up and looked him in the eyes. "That's the first thing to be done!"
"Of course!," he responded urgently.
He quickly dashed to the phone and dialed Vivica's home phone number.
At Vivica's apartment:
Vivica received a busy signal when she dialed Goku's number so she just decided to take a little trip to the Son Residence instead. She figured Goku wouldn't mind, considering the fact that they were together now and he was going to leave his wife for her anyway.
~~No sense in prolonging this. It's time for that prude to face facts. When Goku tells her it's over, she'll just have to except it. Then Goku and me will be free to start our lives together.~~
Vivica smiled to herself as she shut the kitchen door behind her. Just as she walked off of the porch her telephone began to ring, but Vivica didn't hear it. She jumped in her car, with the address in her hand that she tore out of the phonebook and headed towards the Son household. But along the way, Vivca decided to pick up a little insurance. She pulled into a grocery store parking lot and went inside. She headed straight for the 'Feminine Products' isle. She searched vigorously until she found what she was looking for.
"Ha!! Here they are," she exclaimed as she picked up two pregnancy tests. "Now, just one more thing," she said to herself as she entered the 'Bake Goods' isle. She immediately spotted what she needed, grabbed it and headed for the checkout lane. While waiting in line, she grabbed a 20oz. bottle of water out of the cooler.
She paid for the items and quickly hurried to her car. Once inside, she got to work. First she ripped open one of the pregnancy kits' and took out the long, plastic stick that was rounded on one end. Next, she opened the bottle of water and the tiny bottle of blue food coloring that she got from the baking isle. She carefully poured a small amount of water into the cap of the water bottle. Then she held the water bottle and the food coloring bottles between her thighs. She carefully lifted the coloring bottle and squeezed three drops into the water bottle cap. Placing the food coloring bottle back between her legs, she carefully swirled the cap around to mix the contents together until the color and water had blended.
Holding the pregnancy test in her left hand, she very carefully placed a few drops of the blue potion into the hollow, rounded end of the stick. She smirked to herself as she watched the white strip, that one was suppose to pea on, absorb the liquid and turn blue.
"Perfect," she whispered to herself. She repeated the process with the second one. "Now, if anything should go wrong, which I'm sure it won't, Goku will defiantly be mine no matter what! I'll just make sure to sex him crazy for the next two weeks since my period is due next week, and I'll get pregnant for real. He'll never know the difference."
Satisfied, she stepped on the gas and headed out on the road. Nothing was going to come between her and Goku. She had made sure of it.
"There's no answer," said Goku as he hung up the telephone. "But I promise I'll keep calling every half hour until I get her on the phone."
"No need. I'm sort of glad that she didn't answer the phone. I want you to tell that lying BITCH to her face and I want to be there when you do it!," Chichi said with a slight smirk on her face. Goku gave her a confused yet worried look. He never heard his wife use such language before.
"It's not that I don't believe you'll dump her, but I want the satisfaction of seeing the look on her face when you tell her it's me you love and not her. After the lies she told me today, I want to add another blow to her emotionally to match what I did to her physically!," she exclaimed with a dazed look on her face as she thought about her fight a few hours prior.
"Physically?!," Goku asked then he put it all together. "That's where you got the bruise from?! You fought Vivica?!!!"
"Damn straight I did. After we followed you back to her apartment, I had it out with that home wrecking slut!! And If you think this bruise is bad, just wait until you see her!!!," Chichi exclaimed proudly. Goku couldn't help but smirk at his wife's feistiness
~~That's my Chichi. Don't cross her!~~
But his smirk was soon replaced with a look of guilt. His wife had to fight because of him. She shouldn't have that bruise on her beautiful face.
"I'm so sorry Chichi. You wouldn't of had to go through all of this if it wasn't for me. You shouldn't have to fight over my stupidity," he said as he hung his head in shame.
Chichi looked at him for a moment before she responded.
"True," she stated. "But she also had it coming to her for the things she said.
"I still can't believe that she said all those things...those lies!! I would never take Gohan away from you and I know that she's not pregnant! She would've told me by now!!," Goku exclaimed as he ran his fingers through his unruly locks with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I know Goku," Chichi said reassuringly. "There lies. All lies! But we'll be rid of her soon enough. She's the past now so let's not worry about why she said 'this' or 'that'. All we need to do now is work on us," Chichi explained as she moved closer to him on the couch.
"You're right," Goku responded. He leaned over to kiss her full lips but she stopped him.
"Goku wait," she said in a whisper.
"What is it? What's wrong?," he asked with concern.
"There is something very important we need to discuss. Goku," she began as she stood up and walked towards the fire place.
She turned around to face him and continued.
"I love you, you know that. And I do forgive you for what you did, but It still hurts. I mean I saw you kissing another woman just this afternoon and I already know everything else that you've been doing with her," she said as her voice cracked and tears came to her eyes. Goku quickly got to feet and went to her side. Her began to rub her back as a form of comfort.
~~Gosh!! I feel so terrible for hurting her like this!~~
"I'm so sorry Chichi! I'm going to make it up to you! I promise! Even if it takes me the rest of my life!! Honey I promise I....," he rambled but was silenced by Chichi placing a finger to his lips.
"Shh..Let me finish," she said softly. He nodded his head and listened.
"I want you home with me and Gohan starting right now. We both have missed you terribly. You belong right here with us," she said with a soft smile. Goku grinned happily.
"But, I think it would be best if you slept on the couch for a while. I know it's already been a long time since we've made love, but I just don't think I'm ready. Not after everything that's been going on between you and.....her. I need time Goku. Time to get over what's happened. That's the only way that I can take you back and we can begin to mend our broken bond. I don't want to rush things to quickly. Do you understand what I'm saying."
"Of course I do. I'll wait for as long as you need me to and don't care how long it takes. Just as long as I have you," he said from his heart. His words touched her and she put her arms around him and held him tightly. He hugged her body tightly against him. They couldn't seem to keep their hands off of each other, but neither one complained. They were finally together again.
"Let's promise to never let anyone or anything come between us ever again," she said with her face buried in the crook of his neck.
"I promise. I'm never going to let anyone between us again. I'm never even going to LOOK at another woman."
"I promise not to be such a bitch. I'm not going to complain about everything all the time. And I'm not going to make Gohan study so much. Sure he's really smart to only be six years old, but he's a little boy. A little Saiyan boy that is and I know it's important for him to train and have more fun. The last thing I need is for him to grow up hating me for pushing him to hard," Chichi stated as Goku stroked her back.
"Gohan could never hate you. But I promise not to take to much time away from his studies. He needs to train but I also understand that he needs schooling as well. And I could help more around the house. I could even cook!," he said with a chuckle as he placed his forehead on hers.
"That's nice of you to offer but why don't you let me handle the cooking," she replied with a laugh.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"People are just determined to keep interrupting us," Chichi said as she looked at the door.
"I'll get it this time," she said as she broke from his embrace and moved to the kitchen door and opened it.
Back at the Ice-cream shop:
"All finished?," asked Bulma as she came back to the table.
"Uh huh," he smiled as he shook his head happily.
"Hey Gohan," she began with enthusiasm. "How would you like to stay at my house tonight?!"
"Yeah!!! Can we play video games?!"
"Yeah. I'm sure Vegeta won't mind you playing his PS2."
"Cool!!!Can we have pizza to?!!"
"Sure kiddo! We're going to have a great time," she said as they rose from the table and headed out the door.
"Bulma, I don't have any clothes or anything," Gohan said as Bulma strapped him into his seat belt.
"That's OK, we'll just stop by your house on our way to mine."
Bulma hopped into the car and headed for the Son residence.
"What are you doing here?!!!!!," Chichi exclaimed as she saw a pissed off looking Vivca on the other side of her door.
"What's going on Chichi?! Who is it?," Goku asked as he headed towards where his wife was standing.
"I'm here to take MY GOKU home!!! What's it to you?!!
"WHAT'S IT TO ME?!!! WHY YOU LITTLE...," Chichi began but was cut off by Goku stepping in front of her. He didn't want a repeat of what happened today to happen again.
"Vivica?! What are you doing here!!!," Goku asked in total shock.
"I started to get worried when you didn't come home and I had a feeling that this WENCH had something to do with it!!," Vivica responded while looking Chichi dead in the eyes.
Chichi started to lung at her but Goku's arm prevented her from doing so.
"Vivica you have no right to talk to my wife like that!!! And furthermore, I am home!," Goku stated angrily. He always took it personally if anyone ever said anything bad about or to his wife.
"How can you defend her?! We're together now!! I'm the one that loves you, not her! Remember the way she's been treating you?!! And you're not home! Home is with me!"
"No Vivica. Home is where I am right now.....with Chichi. My wife."
"How can you say that?!! We just made love last night!! And now all of a sudden I don't mean anything to you?!"
Chichi closed her eyes in pain when Vivica mentioned the fact that her husband was having sex with her a matter of hours ago. She slowly walked away from the door to regain her composure. She didn't want Vivica to see that her words had hurt her, but she stayed close enough to the door to hear everything that was said.
"What I'm trying to tell you is that there never should have been an 'us'. It was wrong Vivica. It was just lust not love. I'm not in love with you Vivica. I never was," he said in a soft voice. Chichi made her way back to his side when she heard him say this. And to add insult to injury, she slid her arm around his back and held his waist. Instinctively, Goku placed his arm around Chihci's waist as well.
Vivica was taken back by Goku's confession. She had to momentarily fight back tears before she regained her composure. But she didn't do it quick enough for it to go unnoticed by Goku or Chichi. She couldn't believe it. Just like that, it was over.
~~How can he say that?! The way he makes love to me shows me how much he loves me!! I can't lose him!! I can't let it end like this!! I need him!! I didn't want to do this Goku but it's the only way.~~
"Look, Viv, I'm...," he began but was cut off.
"Don't call me Viv," she said in a serious and hurt voice. Goku closed his eyes breifly and continued.
"Vivica, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you. This whole situation is my fault. I should've never gotten involved with you. I hope one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
"I might be able to forgive you someday, but what about our baby?! Do you think it will be able to forgive you when it comes to know the truth?!! That you abandoned us while I was pregnant?!!"
This got both Chichi and Goku hot!!!
"Stop it Vivica!!! No more lies!!! You're not pregnant and you know it!!! And for you try and lie about something like that is pathetic. And furthermore, how dare you lie about me taking my son from his mother and starting a family with you!!! I never said anything like that and you know it!! I'm disgusted with the lengths that you'll go to just to keep me in your life!!!"
"It's not a lie!!! I AM PREGNANT!! I took a pregnancy test before I came over here. My period was three weeks late so I checked to see if I was, and I am!! You're the father, Goku. We made a baby together!!"
"Prove it!!," Chichi yelled as she took a step towards Vivca. Goku cautiously watched his wife in case she decided to attack.
"What?!" Vivica said in false disbelief.
"You heard me!! If your pregnant let's see this 'test' that you took! Or did you forget it at home?!," Chichi said in a mock voice.
"Of course not," Vivica responded in a smug voice and pulled one of the tests' out of her purse. "Read it and weep!," She said as she shoved the test in Chichi's face.
Chichi snatched the test and looked at it in shock. It was blue. Positive. She felt tears stung at the back of her eyes but refused to let it show.
"This can't be right!," she said in disbelief as Goku took the test from her with the same look of shock on his face. "Those test are wrong sometimes! There not always accurate!!," Chichi yelled in her face.
Vivica anticipated this reaction. That's why she bought two tests' instead of one.
"That's true. But usually TWO tests in a row don't lie!," she responded as she pulled out the second test. Chichi was dumbfounded. She was literally at a lose for words. Goku went numb. He couldn't believe what was happening. One of the tears that Chichi had been holding back fell. Upon seeing this, Vivica smiled victoriously.
"I can't believe this," Goku said as he stared at nothing in front of him, like he was in a daze. A bad dream that he couldn't wake up from.
Chichi turned and looked at Goku with a 'say it isn't so'look on her face.
He looked back at her but didn't know what to say.
"Chichi I....," he started but didn't know how to finish.
"We'll Goku? What now?," Vivica asked him with a fake innocent look on her face.
Chichi couldn't stand to look at her anymore. She snatched the test that Goku had in his hand and took the one she was holding and threw both of them at Vivca's face. Vivca blocked them from hitting her in the face and just smiled more. Chichi looked back and forth between the two of them angrily and stormed into the livingroom. Goku watched her retreating form with a look of regret and sorrow on his face.
"I don't know Vivica," he said, still in a shocked daze as he turned to face her again. He ran his hand through his hair.
"I need time to think and I can't think with you here. You have to go. Now."
"I understand Goku. It's shocking. I know. I felt the same way when I found out. I'm so sorry Goku. I never meant for this to happen! You have to believe me!," she exclaimed with false tears in her eyes.
"It's not your fault Vivca. We both are responsible and I will take care of our baby. I promise you that. I won't just abandon you. You won't go through this alone."
"I know you won't leave me. Your a good guy Goku."
"Look....I've got to go," he said as he closed the door.
Vivica turned and headed back to her car with a huge smile on her lips. She got in and started the engine as Bulma and Gohan pulled up. Bulma looked shocked.
~~What the heck is she doing here?!~~
Vivica just smiled and waved as she sped off into the night.
"Who was that?," Gohan asked.
"Um...just a friend Gohan," Bulma replied as she quickly unbuckled the small boy and practically ran to the house, dragging Gohan by the arm behind her.
Goku looked over at his wife who was staring in front of her into space. He walked up to her and sat down beside her. He timidly put his arm around her waist. When he did this, she buried her face in her hands and broke down in tears.
A/N: What do you think? Is Vivica sneaky or what?!! Will Goku go back to Vivica? Will he stay with Chichi? Will Vivca's scheme be uncovered?!! You have to wait until next time. Don't forget to click that little blue box to the left at the bottom of the screen. Do you see it? Good!! Now review!!! Until next time!!

"Yeah! Gohan's totally fine," she responded.
"What's wrong," Chichi whispered. Goku shook his head reassuringly as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. She leaned her head against his shoulder and put her arms around his waist.
"I was just calling because I was wondering what time I should bring Gohan back. I didn't want to come back to soon if you guys were still.....you know....'talking'", Bulma put emphases on the word talk so Goku would catch her drift.

"Bye Bulma and thanks again."
They both hung up.
"What happened? What did she say?," Chichi asked as she looked up at Goku, with her arms still around his waist.

"Goku, I love you and I want to work things out. I want our marriage to work."
"So do I Chichi. There's nothing else in the world more important to me than us being together; us being a family again."
They embraced and Chichi buried her face in his shoulder as he wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Oh Goku. I've missed you so much," she said. Her voice muffled from her face being buried in his shirt.
"And I've missed you Chichi," he whispered back in her hair.
"You have to break it off with.....her!," Chichi said as she sat up and looked him in the eyes. "That's the first thing to be done!"
"Of course!," he responded urgently.
He quickly dashed to the phone and dialed Vivica's home phone number.

~~No sense in prolonging this. It's time for that prude to face facts. When Goku tells her it's over, she'll just have to except it. Then Goku and me will be free to start our lives together.~~
Vivica smiled to herself as she shut the kitchen door behind her. Just as she walked off of the porch her telephone began to ring, but Vivica didn't hear it. She jumped in her car, with the address in her hand that she tore out of the phonebook and headed towards the Son household. But along the way, Vivca decided to pick up a little insurance. She pulled into a grocery store parking lot and went inside. She headed straight for the 'Feminine Products' isle. She searched vigorously until she found what she was looking for.
"Ha!! Here they are," she exclaimed as she picked up two pregnancy tests. "Now, just one more thing," she said to herself as she entered the 'Bake Goods' isle. She immediately spotted what she needed, grabbed it and headed for the checkout lane. While waiting in line, she grabbed a 20oz. bottle of water out of the cooler.
She paid for the items and quickly hurried to her car. Once inside, she got to work. First she ripped open one of the pregnancy kits' and took out the long, plastic stick that was rounded on one end. Next, she opened the bottle of water and the tiny bottle of blue food coloring that she got from the baking isle. She carefully poured a small amount of water into the cap of the water bottle. Then she held the water bottle and the food coloring bottles between her thighs. She carefully lifted the coloring bottle and squeezed three drops into the water bottle cap. Placing the food coloring bottle back between her legs, she carefully swirled the cap around to mix the contents together until the color and water had blended.
Holding the pregnancy test in her left hand, she very carefully placed a few drops of the blue potion into the hollow, rounded end of the stick. She smirked to herself as she watched the white strip, that one was suppose to pea on, absorb the liquid and turn blue.
"Perfect," she whispered to herself. She repeated the process with the second one. "Now, if anything should go wrong, which I'm sure it won't, Goku will defiantly be mine no matter what! I'll just make sure to sex him crazy for the next two weeks since my period is due next week, and I'll get pregnant for real. He'll never know the difference."
Satisfied, she stepped on the gas and headed out on the road. Nothing was going to come between her and Goku. She had made sure of it.
"There's no answer," said Goku as he hung up the telephone. "But I promise I'll keep calling every half hour until I get her on the phone."
"No need. I'm sort of glad that she didn't answer the phone. I want you to tell that lying BITCH to her face and I want to be there when you do it!," Chichi said with a slight smirk on her face. Goku gave her a confused yet worried look. He never heard his wife use such language before.
"It's not that I don't believe you'll dump her, but I want the satisfaction of seeing the look on her face when you tell her it's me you love and not her. After the lies she told me today, I want to add another blow to her emotionally to match what I did to her physically!," she exclaimed with a dazed look on her face as she thought about her fight a few hours prior.
"Physically?!," Goku asked then he put it all together. "That's where you got the bruise from?! You fought Vivica?!!!"
"Damn straight I did. After we followed you back to her apartment, I had it out with that home wrecking slut!! And If you think this bruise is bad, just wait until you see her!!!," Chichi exclaimed proudly. Goku couldn't help but smirk at his wife's feistiness
~~That's my Chichi. Don't cross her!~~
But his smirk was soon replaced with a look of guilt. His wife had to fight because of him. She shouldn't have that bruise on her beautiful face.
"I'm so sorry Chichi. You wouldn't of had to go through all of this if it wasn't for me. You shouldn't have to fight over my stupidity," he said as he hung his head in shame.
Chichi looked at him for a moment before she responded.
"True," she stated. "But she also had it coming to her for the things she said.
"I still can't believe that she said all those things...those lies!! I would never take Gohan away from you and I know that she's not pregnant! She would've told me by now!!," Goku exclaimed as he ran his fingers through his unruly locks with a look of disbelief on his face.
"I know Goku," Chichi said reassuringly. "There lies. All lies! But we'll be rid of her soon enough. She's the past now so let's not worry about why she said 'this' or 'that'. All we need to do now is work on us," Chichi explained as she moved closer to him on the couch.
"You're right," Goku responded. He leaned over to kiss her full lips but she stopped him.
"Goku wait," she said in a whisper.
"What is it? What's wrong?," he asked with concern.
"There is something very important we need to discuss. Goku," she began as she stood up and walked towards the fire place.
She turned around to face him and continued.
"I love you, you know that. And I do forgive you for what you did, but It still hurts. I mean I saw you kissing another woman just this afternoon and I already know everything else that you've been doing with her," she said as her voice cracked and tears came to her eyes. Goku quickly got to feet and went to her side. Her began to rub her back as a form of comfort.
~~Gosh!! I feel so terrible for hurting her like this!~~
"I'm so sorry Chichi! I'm going to make it up to you! I promise! Even if it takes me the rest of my life!! Honey I promise I....," he rambled but was silenced by Chichi placing a finger to his lips.
"Shh..Let me finish," she said softly. He nodded his head and listened.
"I want you home with me and Gohan starting right now. We both have missed you terribly. You belong right here with us," she said with a soft smile. Goku grinned happily.
"But, I think it would be best if you slept on the couch for a while. I know it's already been a long time since we've made love, but I just don't think I'm ready. Not after everything that's been going on between you and.....her. I need time Goku. Time to get over what's happened. That's the only way that I can take you back and we can begin to mend our broken bond. I don't want to rush things to quickly. Do you understand what I'm saying."
"Of course I do. I'll wait for as long as you need me to and don't care how long it takes. Just as long as I have you," he said from his heart. His words touched her and she put her arms around him and held him tightly. He hugged her body tightly against him. They couldn't seem to keep their hands off of each other, but neither one complained. They were finally together again.
"Let's promise to never let anyone or anything come between us ever again," she said with her face buried in the crook of his neck.
"I promise. I'm never going to let anyone between us again. I'm never even going to LOOK at another woman."
"I promise not to be such a bitch. I'm not going to complain about everything all the time. And I'm not going to make Gohan study so much. Sure he's really smart to only be six years old, but he's a little boy. A little Saiyan boy that is and I know it's important for him to train and have more fun. The last thing I need is for him to grow up hating me for pushing him to hard," Chichi stated as Goku stroked her back.
"Gohan could never hate you. But I promise not to take to much time away from his studies. He needs to train but I also understand that he needs schooling as well. And I could help more around the house. I could even cook!," he said with a chuckle as he placed his forehead on hers.
"That's nice of you to offer but why don't you let me handle the cooking," she replied with a laugh.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"People are just determined to keep interrupting us," Chichi said as she looked at the door.
"I'll get it this time," she said as she broke from his embrace and moved to the kitchen door and opened it.
Back at the Ice-cream shop:
"All finished?," asked Bulma as she came back to the table.
"Uh huh," he smiled as he shook his head happily.
"Hey Gohan," she began with enthusiasm. "How would you like to stay at my house tonight?!"
"Yeah!!! Can we play video games?!"
"Yeah. I'm sure Vegeta won't mind you playing his PS2."
"Cool!!!Can we have pizza to?!!"
"Sure kiddo! We're going to have a great time," she said as they rose from the table and headed out the door.
"Bulma, I don't have any clothes or anything," Gohan said as Bulma strapped him into his seat belt.
"That's OK, we'll just stop by your house on our way to mine."
Bulma hopped into the car and headed for the Son residence.
"What are you doing here?!!!!!," Chichi exclaimed as she saw a pissed off looking Vivca on the other side of her door.
"What's going on Chichi?! Who is it?," Goku asked as he headed towards where his wife was standing.
"I'm here to take MY GOKU home!!! What's it to you?!!
"WHAT'S IT TO ME?!!! WHY YOU LITTLE...," Chichi began but was cut off by Goku stepping in front of her. He didn't want a repeat of what happened today to happen again.
"Vivica?! What are you doing here!!!," Goku asked in total shock.
"I started to get worried when you didn't come home and I had a feeling that this WENCH had something to do with it!!," Vivica responded while looking Chichi dead in the eyes.
Chichi started to lung at her but Goku's arm prevented her from doing so.
"Vivica you have no right to talk to my wife like that!!! And furthermore, I am home!," Goku stated angrily. He always took it personally if anyone ever said anything bad about or to his wife.
"How can you defend her?! We're together now!! I'm the one that loves you, not her! Remember the way she's been treating you?!! And you're not home! Home is with me!"
"No Vivica. Home is where I am right now.....with Chichi. My wife."
"How can you say that?!! We just made love last night!! And now all of a sudden I don't mean anything to you?!"
Chichi closed her eyes in pain when Vivica mentioned the fact that her husband was having sex with her a matter of hours ago. She slowly walked away from the door to regain her composure. She didn't want Vivica to see that her words had hurt her, but she stayed close enough to the door to hear everything that was said.
"What I'm trying to tell you is that there never should have been an 'us'. It was wrong Vivica. It was just lust not love. I'm not in love with you Vivica. I never was," he said in a soft voice. Chichi made her way back to his side when she heard him say this. And to add insult to injury, she slid her arm around his back and held his waist. Instinctively, Goku placed his arm around Chihci's waist as well.
Vivica was taken back by Goku's confession. She had to momentarily fight back tears before she regained her composure. But she didn't do it quick enough for it to go unnoticed by Goku or Chichi. She couldn't believe it. Just like that, it was over.
~~How can he say that?! The way he makes love to me shows me how much he loves me!! I can't lose him!! I can't let it end like this!! I need him!! I didn't want to do this Goku but it's the only way.~~
"Look, Viv, I'm...," he began but was cut off.
"Don't call me Viv," she said in a serious and hurt voice. Goku closed his eyes breifly and continued.
"Vivica, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you. This whole situation is my fault. I should've never gotten involved with you. I hope one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
"I might be able to forgive you someday, but what about our baby?! Do you think it will be able to forgive you when it comes to know the truth?!! That you abandoned us while I was pregnant?!!"
This got both Chichi and Goku hot!!!
"Stop it Vivica!!! No more lies!!! You're not pregnant and you know it!!! And for you try and lie about something like that is pathetic. And furthermore, how dare you lie about me taking my son from his mother and starting a family with you!!! I never said anything like that and you know it!! I'm disgusted with the lengths that you'll go to just to keep me in your life!!!"
"It's not a lie!!! I AM PREGNANT!! I took a pregnancy test before I came over here. My period was three weeks late so I checked to see if I was, and I am!! You're the father, Goku. We made a baby together!!"
"Prove it!!," Chichi yelled as she took a step towards Vivca. Goku cautiously watched his wife in case she decided to attack.
"What?!" Vivica said in false disbelief.
"You heard me!! If your pregnant let's see this 'test' that you took! Or did you forget it at home?!," Chichi said in a mock voice.
"Of course not," Vivica responded in a smug voice and pulled one of the tests' out of her purse. "Read it and weep!," She said as she shoved the test in Chichi's face.
Chichi snatched the test and looked at it in shock. It was blue. Positive. She felt tears stung at the back of her eyes but refused to let it show.
"This can't be right!," she said in disbelief as Goku took the test from her with the same look of shock on his face. "Those test are wrong sometimes! There not always accurate!!," Chichi yelled in her face.
Vivica anticipated this reaction. That's why she bought two tests' instead of one.
"That's true. But usually TWO tests in a row don't lie!," she responded as she pulled out the second test. Chichi was dumbfounded. She was literally at a lose for words. Goku went numb. He couldn't believe what was happening. One of the tears that Chichi had been holding back fell. Upon seeing this, Vivica smiled victoriously.
"I can't believe this," Goku said as he stared at nothing in front of him, like he was in a daze. A bad dream that he couldn't wake up from.
Chichi turned and looked at Goku with a 'say it isn't so'look on her face.
He looked back at her but didn't know what to say.
"Chichi I....," he started but didn't know how to finish.
"We'll Goku? What now?," Vivica asked him with a fake innocent look on her face.
Chichi couldn't stand to look at her anymore. She snatched the test that Goku had in his hand and took the one she was holding and threw both of them at Vivca's face. Vivca blocked them from hitting her in the face and just smiled more. Chichi looked back and forth between the two of them angrily and stormed into the livingroom. Goku watched her retreating form with a look of regret and sorrow on his face.
"I don't know Vivica," he said, still in a shocked daze as he turned to face her again. He ran his hand through his hair.
"I need time to think and I can't think with you here. You have to go. Now."
"I understand Goku. It's shocking. I know. I felt the same way when I found out. I'm so sorry Goku. I never meant for this to happen! You have to believe me!," she exclaimed with false tears in her eyes.
"It's not your fault Vivca. We both are responsible and I will take care of our baby. I promise you that. I won't just abandon you. You won't go through this alone."
"I know you won't leave me. Your a good guy Goku."
"Look....I've got to go," he said as he closed the door.
Vivica turned and headed back to her car with a huge smile on her lips. She got in and started the engine as Bulma and Gohan pulled up. Bulma looked shocked.
~~What the heck is she doing here?!~~
Vivica just smiled and waved as she sped off into the night.
"Who was that?," Gohan asked.
"Um...just a friend Gohan," Bulma replied as she quickly unbuckled the small boy and practically ran to the house, dragging Gohan by the arm behind her.
Goku looked over at his wife who was staring in front of her into space. He walked up to her and sat down beside her. He timidly put his arm around her waist. When he did this, she buried her face in her hands and broke down in tears.
A/N: What do you think? Is Vivica sneaky or what?!! Will Goku go back to Vivica? Will he stay with Chichi? Will Vivca's scheme be uncovered?!! You have to wait until next time. Don't forget to click that little blue box to the left at the bottom of the screen. Do you see it? Good!! Now review!!! Until next time!!
