Gohan lay on the bed, breathing softly. Goku and Piccolo kept a close eye on him. Chi-Chi was at home, nursing Goten and getting the living room ready for Gohan. The doctor had worn them that Gohan would not have much strength.
The IV drip dropped medicine and nutrients into him, while he slept. Goku sighed; Gohan looked uncomfortable again. Suddenly he rose up. Goku grabbed the plastic, mustard yellow bin and held it in front of Gohan.
Gohan threw up into the bed and then fell back onto the pillow. Goku took the bin to the bathroom to rinse it out. While standing in front of the sink, Goku stared at the counter, deep in thought.
'Poor Gohan. He's never done anything to anybody and he gets sick.' Goku thought sadly. Walking out, Gohan was snoring slightly, already asleep. Piccolo glanced up at Goku, before nodding toward the door.
"Your friends are here." Goku nodded and slowly walked out of the room. Krillin and Yamcha were standing there. "Hey guys." Krillin ran up to Goku, "How's Gohan?" Goku shrugged, "Better. He's asleep."
Yamcha asked, "What did the doctor say?" Goku took a deep breath, "He's got acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We caught it early in the Development stage. So he's taking treatments of chemo on Tuesday and Thursday."
Krillin nodded, before asking, "Can we see him?" Goku thought for a moment, "Sure. But he's asleep." Goku motioned for them to follow him. Upon entering the room, they found Gohan throwing up again. Piccolo held the bin in one hand and rubbed Gohan's back with one.
Gohan finished. Instead of falling back on his pillow, he sighed. "Finally awake?" Goku asked. Gohan nodded, before yawning. Piccolo smirked, "You better hurry up and get better, kid." Gohan nodded again, "I will."

Gohan was sound asleep on the couch, curled up under two warm fuzzy blankets. He was snoring softly and drooling slightly. Goku watched as his eldest son slept peacefully. Gohan didn't have another chemo treatment for 3 days.
Gohan turned in his sleep and fell off the couch. Landing with a 'thud', he woke up with a start. Goku started laughing at him. Gohan glared at him, "That wasn't funny." Goku kept on laughing, before Gohan grabbed one of the pillows and threw it as hard as he could at him.
Goku caught it easily. In return he barely tossed it back at Gohan. Gohan scowled. Goku was little surprised; Gohan was really cranky. Goku blinked before he was tackled. Gohan had used a lot of his strength to jump onto Goku.
Goku toppled backwards, along with Gohan. Shaking his head, Goku looked down at Gohan. Gohan was either crying or raging mad, because he was shaking. It took a second before Gohan let out a huge outburst.
"What'd I ever do to deserve this?! I didn't do anything! Now I'm stuck like this! I didn't do anything! Is it because I'm a failure?!" Gohan yelled. His last sentence was hushed as he erupted into tears.
Goku wrapped his arms around his crying son. Gohan grabbed onto him tightly. "Shh. Gohan. It's okay. You're not a failure. Don't even think that. Okay?" Gohan nodded slowly. "Now let's get up. I'll get you some ice cream. Just don't tell your mother."
Gohan giggled slightly. Goku put him down on the couch and covered him. Gohan sat up against the back as Goku got his ice cream. Of course, Goku got some for him. He held two bowls in his hand and walked over to the couch.
Motioning for Gohan to scoot over, Goku plopped over next to his son. "You'll get better. Trust me. Besides, what would I do without you?" Gohan shrugged, spoon in his mouth.
Goku laughed before starting on his. Goku gulped down his ice cream before Gohan was even halfway done. "You gonna eat that?!" Goku asked Gohan excitedly. Gohan rolled his eyes, "Yes. If you want more, then get up and get some."
Goku shook his head, "There's none left. And besides your mother would find out." Gohan nodded, "Yay. But she wouldn't use it on me. Hey now I have an excuse." Goku frowned, "She can still hit me. Uh-oh."
Gohan laughed, "You have no sympathy from me. You let me get hit too many times." Goku shook his head, "Hey you let Chi-Chi think that that fish ate you that time. You didn't come out until after I was nearly unconscious."
"I guess I forgot about that one. But you told Mom that I ate all the sugar when it was you. She nearly killed me. So you have no room to talk." Goku laughed, "I guess we both tried to get each other in trouble. Hey Gohan-." Goku turned to his son and found him half asleep.
Goku smiled before laying Gohan down and covering him. 'Sleep well son.'
