The next day...
Gohan and Goten where standing outside of Goten's house.
"Gohan?" Goten asked
"Yeah lil' Brother?" Gohan answered
"Don't call me 'lil' Brother'."
"Okay... what's up?"
"Is there anything going on between you and Bra?" Goten lowered his head
Gohan froze up. "Why would you think that?"
"Just because... I don't know... you both act odd when your near each other, you just... the way you held her yesterday... it was the way you always held Videl and... she said..." Goten closed his eyes tightly. "She told you that she loved you..." Goten choked back tears. "I know that..." Goten paused. "I know that Bra's child is not mine..." a few tears rolled down his face. "I know that... The baby is..." Goten clenched his fist's. "yours!"
Gohan's eyes wondered around rapidly. "I... I'm..." Gohan couldn't form any words.
"YOUR WHAT GOHAN?!?!" Goten yelled out
Bra had walked out on the porch when she heard Goten yelling.
"SORRY?? YOUR SORRY RIGHT?!? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME GOHAN?!?"
"Goten calm down..."
"CALM DOWN? YOU SCREW MY WIFE AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE CALM?!?!"
"Goten that was an accident... I never meant for it to happen."
"IS THAT JUST SUPPOSED TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER?!?!"
Gohan placed a hand on Goten shoulder. "Goten she loves you! I will admit it, I wish it was I that she loved, but she doesn't!"
"GOHAN YOU HEARD WHAT SHE SAID YESTERDAY! SHE LOVES YOU!"
"Goten she wasn't in the right state of mind, I don't really think she meant it..."
"BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT GOHAN! I SEE IT, SHE LOVES YOU!" Goten jumped up in the air and flew off.
Gohan fell to his knee's and lowered his head. "Goten..."
Bra walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Gohan?"
Gohan looked up at her. "Bra..."
Bra kneeled beside Gohan. "Goten is right you know..."
Gohan gave Bra an odd look. "Right about what?" He asked seeming confused
Bra took Gohan's hands and lifted him up, so that they were standing infront of each other. "I love you..."
Gohan stood silent, staring into her eyes.
Bra leaned in and kissed Gohan.
Gohan pushed her away slightly. "Your married to Goten... I cant hurt him anymore than I already have."
"We're getting a divorce... We talked this morning..."
"What?"
"Shhh...."
"Gohan?..." The voice carried over to him
Gohan spun around to see the woman he hadn't seen for a long time... Videl.
"Videl?" Gohan asked shocked
"It's me... I'm sorry for leaving...."
Gohan shook his head and looked down at the ground.
Videl ran to Gohan throwing her arms around his shoulders and bursting into tears. "I miss you so much, I never meant the things I said, I did love you... I just couldn't stand worrying if you were going to come back every day..."
Gohan stood with his eye's wide, not knowing what to say, more confused than ever in his life. Seeing Videl reminded him of what he had missed so much. "Videl... I cant be wi..."
Videl kissed Gohan, stopping him from what he was going to say.
Bra turned around and ran into the house.

Bra sat on the couch crying. "I should have know... he still loves her... I was just a replacement..." Bra pulled her legs in towards her chest and leaned her head on knees.

Gohan pushed Videl away. "Videl stop!"
"What?" Videl looked confused
"I don't see or hear from you in over two years and now you come back here and just expect me to be happy? Do you expect things to be the way they were before? Videl they can't, and never can. I love Bra..."
Videl's eye's welled up with tears. "Fine..." Videl paused and a few tears rolled down her face. "I'm sorry..."
"Videl..." Gohan lifted his hand to her face.
Videl closed her eyes and bit her lip. "I hope your happy with your life..." Videl swallowed hard and walked away.
Gohan watched her leave. 'I'm sorry Videl...'

"Bra?..." Gohan asked as he walked into the house. "Bra what's wrong?" Gohan asked as he sat on the couch beside her.
"You still love Videl don't you?" Bra said over tears
"No." Gohan extended his hand and lifted her head to face him. "Bra I love you... not her." Gohan put his arms around her and held her close to him.
Bra wrapped herself around him. Bra smiled. "I love you Gohan..."
