~Goten's POV: Chapter Four~

August 5

Well today was a exciting day. Why you ask? Today was the day my so called father came by and this time he wasn't alone. The only people home at the time was Miyuki and I. My mother went shopping with Bulma and Cheena, let's just not talk about her right now. Anyway Miyuki and I were just watching t.v. when the front door opened up. I figured that it was either Cheena or my mother so I really didn't pay any mind.

"Hey Goten! Hey Miy! How are you doing?" I heard all of a sudden. I didn't want to see who it was and in fact I didn't have to see who it was. I could tell by the voice who the person was, the person being my father. I wouldn't greet him but I did glance over at him. For that brief moment I saw my dad's new training partner, Uub. I really didn't care too much for him but my father was a different story.

"Mom isn't here and neither is Cheena" I said as I turned back towards the t.v. I could feel his eyes on me and I know he was smiling, he's always smiling.

"Awww, I really wanted to see them before I left" he said. I shrugged my shoulders and just continued to watch t.v. In one ear and out the other, that's how it was for me at the moment.

"You can wait for them. I'm sure they'll return soon and I'm sure Chi-Chi and Cheena would love to see you, Goku" Miyuki said. I glanced at her then looked back at the t.v. I was just wondering why she would go and tell him that. I thought to myself that I wouldn't be surprised if he just said he couldn't stay or he was busy.

"I really can't stay since Uub and I have a lot more work to do. We're on our way over to his village so he can spend time with his family" my father said. Boy did that not surprise me. I tried my best to show that I was unaffected by what he said but I think Miy knew other wise.

"So how is your mother and sister doing?" he asked. I really wasn't in the mood for a question and answering session. I mean, I could tell him that Cheena has turned for the worse by why should I? Would he even of cared? I doubt it. Although I wasn't in the mood, I still answered him since out of everyone in the room I was the only one who could truly answer the question.

"Mom is fine and so is Cheena" I said. I could feel Miy's eyes on me seeing as how she knows that I'm lying but I paid it no mind. I knew what I said wasn't the full truth but I really didn't care.

"That's great. I wish I could see them but I have to get going. Tell them that I love them both" he said. I nodded my head only as I looked at the t.v. Soon after he and Uub left and I still paid his brief presence no mind. Should I of cared that he at least stopped by? Maybe. Should he of cared that I was ignoring him? Well I say yes but then again I'm not him and my opinion doesn't carry as much merit as his opinion and answer does on that question so I'll just leave it at that. Later.

August 20

Well, I finally told my mother and Cheena about my dad's visit. First I told my mom. I wasn't sure how she'd take it but I knew I had to tell her. I don't know why I waited 15 days to open my mouth but I did. Anyway, I told her he came by and that he loved her. She just stared at me for awhile and I was just waiting for her to cry or something but surprisingly she didn't. She cleared her throat and sat down on the couch. She remained silent for a little while longer which was making me worried.

"Mom, are you ok?" I asked her, hoping she'd answer me. She stared at me before smiling, something that caught me off guard.

"I'm fine Goten. Just thinking about what you said" she said as she sat back on the couch. I couldn't understand what she was thinking about. I was just wondering what could possibly of been on her mind.

"Are you ok mom?" I asked again. She nodded her head as she smiled

"I'm fine Goten. Just thinking about your father, that's all. Can you leave me alone for a bit?" she asked. I nodded my head and left. No need in me staying. Instead I went up to see Cheena and tell her as well. Man, I wish I didn't tell her anything.

"So that old man came here, huh?" she said as she flipped through a magazine while laying on her bed. I leaned against her door and just nodded my head.

"He said he loves you" he said. She laughed as she continued to flip through her magazine.

"But nothing on him coming back? Well he can keep his I love you speech" she said. I just shook my head. Cheena just wasn't herself anymore. It was like a part of her just up and left her, leaving this thing behind with nothing but a big mouth on it.

"Cheena, mom didn't say much when I told her. What do you think she's thinking about?" I asked. I watched as she looked up at me and started to laugh.

"Maybe thinking about how much that man she married is a total jerk" she said as she went back to her magazines. I couldn't take it anymore. I mean, I'm not defending my father or nothing but Cheena was just not herself. Walking over and I snatched the book out of her hands and glared at her.

"What is wrong with you? Since when did you start this attitude trip your on?" I asked. She glared right back at me and climbed off her bed. I watched as she stood face to face with me, I could feel her breath right on me. That's how close she was to me.

"Since when did you become a fan of the Goku club? I'm not in the mood to hear about him being here, ok?" she said.

"Well I'm sorry. I thought you might have wanted to know" I said as I stared into her eyes as she did to me.

"Well you thought wrong" she snapped as she folded her arms across her chest. I shook my head from side to side as I looked at her. I mean, we all know that she and I argue, we say mean things to each other and sometimes we mean it but when it all comes down to it, I care about her and I know she does about me. I hate seeing her this way, no matter how much of a Cheese.ok, getting off the topic. Anyway, the stare down continued until she spoke again. "Get out of my face. I have work I need to do" she said as she pushed by him. I couldn't let her go like that and quickly grabbed her arm. Boy did she like that.

"Cheena, we need to talk" I said. She pulled her arm away and pointed her finger in my face. I should of bit that damn thing off but I was trying to be the cool head in the room.

"Don't you touch me and don't talk to me. Not if it's about that father of ours" she said.

"Would you calm down for a minute? Stop acting like a jerk for just a second" I snapped at her. So much for being the cool headed one, huh?

"This is how I have to act. It helps me, ok. Now just mind your business and leave me alone. Since when did you care about how I am anyway" she said. I just looked at her, I mean, since when did I care? I guess with dad gone I started to care. Could it be that I was caring almost as if I was the.man of the house? No..but maybe..

"How does it help you?" I asked. I watched as she looked away for a while then at me.

"It just does" she said. I was about to speak when our mother walked in. She spoke before I had the chance to.

"Cheena, can I talk to you?" she asked before walking away. I watched as Cheena rolled her eyes and left the room. A "what do you want" could be heard from her as she walked along the hallway. After I heard a room door close, I left the room. I sat in my room for a while before I heard a knock at the door. As the door opened I saw Cheena standing there with a frown on her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she looked at me. Shrugging her shoulders, she leaned against the door.

"Sorry for being so mean and angry at you. Mom went out for a while. She also wanted me to ask you something so let me do this quick. She wants to know if you're willing to take on the responsibility of becoming the man of the house" she said. I just stared at her. I mean, I never expected those words to come out of her mouth.

"Wow.I mean..I don't know what to say" I said. She sighed as she turned around.

"Don't tell me. Tell her. I have work I need to do" she said before she left. I watched her go then looked towards my wall. My mother wanted me to take the place that my father would have had had he been here. Was I ready for that? Well you know what..since he left that's what I've been and I won't stop. Gohan has his own family so I guess its my job now..and I won't take it for granted..like others I know. This will be my last time writing in here. I've written enough and besides, I have a job that I have to take more seriously and my number one job..bringing my sister and my mother back to the way they were so later journal.
