Hello! It's me again!! Here's another exciting chapter for all you fans out there and I promise I'll try to make it a little longer this time.



DISCLAIMER: Speaking for this chapter and the last one...I don't own DBZ.



Chapter22 The Truth Hurts





"Hey guys!," Yamcha said with strained cheerfulness as Vivica put a vice grip on his hand forcing a thin smile on her red lips. Chichi looked on in disgust, Goku looked nervously between his wife and former mistress, the Ox King was a little uncomfortable sensing the uneasiness between the couples and Gohan said a cheerful hello to Yamcha and some lady he never met before as he continued to devour his hearty breakfast.



"Hehe. Hey Yamcha.Vivica," Goku said trying to put on his famous smile but averted his eyes to his plate when he acknowledged Vivica. Vivica gave a meek hello as she suddenly found the floor very interesting.

"So..what's new," Yamcha said in a pathetic attempt to get conversations started.



"Not much," responded Goku. "Training as usual."

The tension was so thick it was hard to breathe. The Ox King knew by now that something was up, but what? Goku began to perspire with nervousness and dabbed his forehead with his napkin every few seconds. Yamcha collar began to feel a little tight and he began to pull on it. He couldn't stand the tension but he couldn't just run away. It was weird because he and Goku were best friends. They never had to search for things to talk about. Now it was like talking to a perfect stranger. He needed to find some common ground for them to speak on. He regretted the next set of words that came out of his mouth as soon as he had spoken them. But out of pure desperation, he uttered the dumbest thing he had ever said in a public or private setting:



"Oh yeah, did you know that Viv is pregnant?"



Vivica eyes became wide with disbelief at the words that he just said. Chichi started to choke on the sip of orange juice she had just taken. Goku wanted to faint. He gripped the side of the table and began taking deep slow breaths because he felt consciousness slipping away from him. The Ox King didn't know what to make of the announcement but noticed his daughter and husband seemed a bit shocked. And Gohan continued to eat, oblivious to what was going on.



"That's a lie!!! She can't be pregnant!!! Bulma's test said she wasn't!!! She faked those pregnancy tests! She nothing but a home wrecking slut!!" Chichi screamed loud enough for most of the restaurant to turn around and give the Son table their full attention. Gohan stopped eating. Wondering what all the yelling was about.





"Chichi!!" the Ox King said in disbelief at his daughter's behavior. "Chichi, calm down," Goku said in a soothing voice; very aware that they were now the center of attention. It was quite embarrassing. But his words didn't work. She just became more irate.



"What are you talking about Chichi? She's not a slut!! And what test? And what does Bulma have to do with this?!," Yamcha asked getting upset, but not quite sure whom he should be upset with.



"Yamcha I told you this was a bad idea. Let's just go before things get out of hand," Vivica pleaded as she pulled on Yamcha's arm, away from the table.



"NO! I want to know what she's talking about!! And how dare you call her names Chichi. You and I may be friends but I won't stand for you talking to her like a piece of trash! She not a hussy, she the mother of my child!!," Yamcha yelled, totally pissed off at Chichi's audacity!



Chichi rose out of her seat just as the manager made his way over to their table.

"What's is going on here?!," the middle aged bald man exclaimed. Obviously very upset at the disruption they were causing in his restaurant. "Nothing sir, I'm sorry. We were just leaving," Goku said as he stood from his seat and grabbing Gohan's hand. The Ox King followed Goku's lead and stood as well. Chichi ignored the men as she retaliated on Yamcha's attack.

"Mother of your child?! HA! I wouldn't celebrate so soon if I were you Yamcha, or didn't Vivica tell you that she was FUCKING MY HUSBAND!!"



Gasps and whispers were heard all around the restaurant at the juicy bit of information they just heard. Some people began to snicker and laugh, while others look on in shock with wide eyes. The onlookers weren't the only one's in shock, so was Yamcha. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He slowly turned his head towards Viv. BY the look on his face she could tell that he wanted her to say that Chichi was lying. That it wasn't true. But she couldn't. All she could do was avert her eyes away from him in shame.

"Viv," he said in a pleading whisper. But she didn't respond. She couldn't even look at him.





"That's it. I want you all out of my restaurant NOW, or I'm calling the police!!! And don't bother coming back!!," the manager yelled as he went to the door and held it open for them.



Yamcha and Vivica went back to their table and gathered their things as the Son family did the same. Chichi was practically in tears but refused to let any fall while Vivica was around. She didn't want her to know that her newfound joy with her husband was now crushed. She was no longer on cloud nine but lower than what she was when she found out that Goku was cheating on her. Her husband may be having another baby but it wasn't with her. It was devastating.



Yamcha and Vivica made it to the parking lot before the Son's did. Once outside, Goku called Yamcha's name. He slowly turned around with a new feeling of hatred toward his lifelong friend that he was trying to suppress.



"What," he said in such a dark tone that it made Goku wince.



"We need to talk. All of us," he said looking between Vivica and Chichi.

"What's the point? It won't change what happened," Yamcha said talking to Goku while looking directly at Vivica, who turned her head in shame.

"There's a big point and it involves every last one of us. A baby changes everything Yamcha. Why don't we all go back to my house and get everything out in the open and talk about what going to happen next." Goku suggested.



After a few minutes of silent debate, they all agreed and headed for the Son household where things were about to get pretty intense!





Well, there it is another chapter complete. Stay tuned for what happens at Goku's house. And what are Vegeta and Bulma doing there?!! Until next time!!
