Summary: Gohan and Videl are happily married and Videl's pregnant. But when their baby is born dead, will it bring them closer or will it break them apart? Rated PG-13 for suicidal attempts and slight cursing.

Foreword: Yo, peeps! This is my first fanfic published, to please criticize me all you want. There might be some spelling- or grammar-errors, cause my native language is French and I don't speak English very much.

-----Chapter One----

"Videl?"

"Gohan?"

"Are you alright?" Videl sighed and put her book down.

"Gohan, for the sixth time; I'm fine!"

"I'm sorry, Videl. I'm just worried, you know?" Gohan sighed.

"Hell yeah, I know." she smiled. Gohan smiled back.

"I still can't believe you're pregnant," Gohan said.

"Get over it, honey," Videl said, giving him a small kiss on his lips before getting up and going inside. Gohan looked around the garden. It was a nice day, the sun was shining and it was quite warm although it was winter, and the doctor told him the best news today he ever heard: he was going to be a daddy in seven months! Gohan got up too and followed Videl inside.

There she was, in the kitchen pouring herself a drink. As she bend down to put the orange juice back in the refrigerator, Gohan stopped her.

"Let me take that," he said taking it from her and putting it back himself.

"Would you please sit down and relax? There's no need to go all concerned over me!" Videl said, getting up. A smile spread on Gohan's face.

"You're right. I might be exaggerating a little," he smiled at her and got up.

"So, what about you take a short nap? You must be tired after today, aren't you?" Gohan asked.

"Gohan! Don't start again!"

//Dear Diary - 03-23

Today the doctor told me what I had expected: I was pregnant. I knew it, there was some sort of feeling inside of me that told me I was pregnant. It caught Gohan off guard though, he really didn't see this coming. O, that amazed look on his face.it was like he was about to ask: What does pregnant mean? Well, he was plain serious until we left the building. He kept hugging me and telling me how much he loved me. He also asked if I was sure to keep this child. When I said 'yes' he said 'then we're gonna give this baby, our baby, the best life it can get'. He was so sweet, but also very overprotective. He is so afraid that something will happen to the baby and me.//

-A few weeks later-

'I don't know what's up with these pregnancy-check, but every time I go to one, it makes me sick.' Videl thought to herself as she threw up in the toilet. Hot tears were burning in her eyes. One single tear escaped from her eye as she threw up again.

'It hurts so goddamned much.' Suddenly, a sharp pain shot right through her abdomen.

"Aah." was all Videl managed to say since she was gasping for air. With her hands on her abdomen, she laid down on the cold bathroom-floor and waited for the pain to subside.

So, how was this? It's indeed very short, but this is a prologue and I want to know if you like the idea of this fic. If you do, review! If you don't, review too!

Next chapter (which will be much longer):

"It's time to be honest with me, Videl. I know you're not doing well." Videl looked up at her.

"I am doing well. Have you ever heard of morning sickness?"

"Morning sickness doesn't hurt, Videl. And this hurts you."

"I eh.I've had an inflammation of the bladder right before I got pregnant. I'm better now, but I still have those pains sometimes." Videl sighed, "I beg you not to tell Gohan. Please, don't tell him."
