A/N – Sheesh, took me long enough to rewrite the ending. Hey I might even continue so I left it open for that.

Chapter Ten – Arigato Gohan, Arigato

Okay, now the real ending.

Gohan wasn't angry, he was betrayed by the one to whom he had remained true. As Videl finished her story, he didn't know what to think. On one hand, he wanted to turn away from her.

But on the other hand, his daughter, snoozing comfortably in his arms, made him want to embrace her dear mother.

Chi Chi and Goten had left to do some grocery shopping and Gohan and Videl were left alone. Chi Chi had been ecstatic about a new baby in the house, and any waking moment was spent cooking, cleaning, or knitting. Goten was confused about the whole situation, therefore he remained aloof but otherwise happy with Pan.

The infant stretched and yawned, opening her deep blue eyes. She cooed.

"I understand if you don't want to be with me, Gohan," Videl said quietly.

"I don't know what to think."

She looked at him, "In my heart, I always loved you even when I was with Sill. I realize now that the love for him was simply a true friendship. The love I have for you is never ending. I'm sorry Gohan, I'm sorry that I didn't have faith in you."

"I did collect the Dragonballs. I did wish for you. I just don't understand why you didn't have that faith."

She wasn't surprised he didn't. She herself didn't understand why either. "When I was in the otherworld training with your father, I.. I achieved Super Saiyan."

Gohan was truly astonished, "Super Saiyan?"

"Yes," she paused, "I know what you meant by your motivator for the power. Mine... Mine was rage caused by realization of your supposed betrayal. I was so angry and hurt that I had let myself fall so deeply in love with you and you just forgot about me. I was such a fool. When Sill wished me to Huro, I packed away all the feelings I had of you, hid them in the deepest part of my heart."

Pan stretched and yawned, grabbing at the blanket swaddling her.

Videl continued as she looked at the infant, "But I kept feeling something so familiar and comfortable. It wasn't until Pan was born that I realized it was you I felt, and just how much it hurt to be apart from you. When I saw her dark hair and human body, I knew she was us. Ours. I knew who I truly loved... You."

"Videl, do you have anywhere to stay," Gohan asked.

She lowered her head, "No. I doubt I shall ever return to Huro. Of course I couldn't return to Pandova either. I guess I'll find a place somewhere on Earth so Pan can be close to you."

He bit his lip, "You hurt me, Videl, betrayed our love, my love. But I just don't think I can live without you. Please say here on Earth. I will forgive you eventually. I'm too young to have grudges anyway."

Videl nodded softly.

"I'm sure Mom will have no problem with you staying here, we'll just keep this from her. I'm still in my apartment in the city."

They were silent for a while.

"Thank you, Gohan," she said quietly, Thank you...
