I'm With You

By Dark_T-K

The small group waited patiently as doctors worked around the clock on Goku. Their hearts all hurt and their guilt swelled. No one could believe it was possible for bad things to happen on the one day Goku decided to go outside.

(Gohan's POV)

I felt so guilty for what had happened today. I should have never agreed to dad leaving the house. I sighed knowing this. Dad was the one who asked to leave. He wanted to go out again. Bulma had suggested we take him to the carnival. I reluctantly agreed. I knew dad would love to have some more fun into his life.

Vegeta had snorted when dad pranced around happily in the parking lot. We all had forgotten what it was like when dad was happy. Seeing him act like a ten-year old again made us all very pleased.

But it all had to get ruined didn't it? On the one day dad wanted to leave the carnival had to have a major accident. Gods I don't know if I can stand dad being depressed again. It was hard enough the first time. If he were to fall again, and didn't get back up…I can't even stand the thought of what he might pull.

It had been three hours since we came to the hospital to wait for dad. He was still in the emergency room for what reason I do not know. Doctors leaving and reentering told us they were just fixing tissues and repairing muscle. They also said dad was a lucky one. If the blade had gone down half an inch more, it would have hit his heart.

I sit there contemplating on what to do next. Bulma and I have agreed that it's just to much of a hassle for dad to live out by himself. No one is around to watch him and with the new condition someone has to be there to watch him constantly. So we moved him into Bulma's house. He didn't approve at first, but as time went by I think he appreciated it more than he thought he would.

"Son family?" A doctor called. Goten and I jumped up immediately followed by Vegeta, Bulma, and Trunks. "No need to be so jumpy." The doctor joked. We looked at him as if he was nuts. "Goku Son should be fine. We stitched up his wound and we'll put him on medication real soon." We all sighed heavily in happiness.

"So how's he doing now?" Goten asked hesitantly. Trunks pulled Goten close for comfort while I stood waiting to know the same answer.

"He's just fine. We had some trouble with him and his injections-" We all cringed at that one. "But he was fine. I'd say he's waiting for you all in his room. He won't allow us to feed him unless you guys came in so here I am." I sighed heavily again.

"That's my dad for you…" I say. I walk passed the doctor to the glass window in which my father was kept in. I had to chuckle at the scene. It looked like he was fighting the nurses not to get the shot. "Hey Goten, come take a look at this." Goten looked confused but trotted over anyway. He burst out laughing at the sight.

"What is so funny?" Trunks asked picking up a crying Goten who couldn't stop laughing. Vegeta gave a questioning glare and I pointed into the room. Bulma, Trunks and Vegeta peered in only to look away in embarrassment.

"Doesn't he ever quit. Baka." Vegeta spat as he continued to watch. Bulma chuckled at his retort and wrapped her arms around Vegeta.

"Just be glad he's doing that instead of something else." Bulma said as she turned to watch dad again. Vegeta snorted at the comment.

"Least we know he's not depressed." I say happily. I open the door to see nurses shouting at my dad.

"Mr. Son please come from there immediately." A brown headed nurse said.

"We just need to give you your shots and we'll be out of here! Quit making a fuss!" A blonde headed nurse said. I looked up to see my dad handing in the ceiling fan glaring menacingly. I shake my head.

"Dad cut that out. Don't make me come up there." I threaten playfully. He sticks his tongue out at me and clenches the fan even tighter. I sigh. "Vegeta! Dad needs you to remove him from the ceiling!" I called out the door. I saw dad pale. Vegeta grumbled and walked in.

"Why do I have to get the baka down. You can do it just fine!" Vegeta said glaring up at the larger saiyan.

"I don't have much of an impact on him as you do." I said. Vegeta just rolled his eyes and floated up to the ceiling.

"Stay away from me Vegeta! I warn you I'm deadly!" Dad snapped in defense. Vegeta laughed mockingly, and reached for him anyway. Guess dad meant what he said. He bit Vegeta on the hand and Vegeta snapped his hand back.

"Ouch! Stupid baka! Now your in for it!" Vegeta snapped, as he pinched the back of my dad's neck so fast dad didn't have time to react. Dad fell unconscious and Vegeta pulled my dad off the fan. Vegeta dropped dad on the bed and left the room. "That is the LAST time I help that baka." Vegeta growled as he cradled his bitten hand and went out for ice. I chuckled and left as well.

This was only to be the beginning of what was to come for my dad. I hope is was the start of a bright future, and not a gloomy one.
