Previously On Starting Out On a Journey
* * * *
She went to climb out of the bed, her feet touched the cold floor.She shivered, the next thing she knew things went black, and the last she could here was Gohan's voice.
"GET A DOCOTOR PLEASE!!?"
Chapter 4
Videl awoke lying in a hospital bed, with a doctor looking at her whilst writing on a folder. She quickly sat p.
"Somethings wrong with my baby?"Videl said
"Mrs Son, you can rest assured your baby is fine, but you getting stressed out won't help it" Dr Daily said walking over to her.
"But i havent felt him kick or anything in the past twelve hours" Videl complained "Why won't anybody listen to me!!"
"Look Mrs Son, i have done all the tests and everythings fine"
Videl groaned. "IF ANYTHING HAPPENS MY CHILD I AM GOING TO PLASTER YOUR HEADS ON MY FRYPAN!!!"
2 weeks later
Videl was sitting on the sofa. She was told by her doctors that the baby could be due any day now and she was to stop training, which she should have done in the start of her pregnancy.
Videl was lying in bed. There was nothing else she could do. Gohan would panic whenever she crawled out of bed and would fuss over as if she was dieing. She sighed. At the moment he was downstairs working on some paper work for Bulma. So she got up, and put her robe on before walking downstairs.
She walked down the stairs, but halted when she heard Gohan talking on the phone.
"It's not going so good!" Gohan said "The new job i got isn't going so well, the pay isn't large and i might have to get another one to cover costs, i know you'd be more then happy to help out, but this is something i gotta do on my own, uh huh yeh"
At that moment Videl walked into the kitchen and put her hands on her hips. Gohan stared.
"Uh i'll call you back!!" Gohan answered clicking the phone off.
Bulma held the phone away from her ear. 'He must've had something else to do' she thought to herself.
"We're in money problems arn't we?" Videl asked
"No things, couldn't be better" Gohan said laughing nervously
"Then why would you need to get a third job, let alone a second, is that where you've been all the time?"
"Videl...it's actually 4 jobs" he said looking away sheepishly
Her eyes held flames at the moment. "FOUR!!! How could you keep something like this from me, we have the money Gohan, remember Dad set us up with that Trust Fund while in high school..."
"No we don't, that was used to get this house,"
"But how the house only cost half of what was in there"
"It cost the full thing, you liked this house so much, and i knew when you saw the price you wouldn't buy it so i went ahead and bought it, i wanted you to be happy"
Her eyes flared. "GOHAN!!! You mean this house cost $348,986.40 ?"
He looked away nervously
"Oh my god!!" she whispered sitting down. "We're broke" it was coming to realization on her. They were broke and Gohan hadn't told her. "why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I didn't want you to stress"
"Oh, you didn't want me to stress" Videl said calmly "IM STRESSING MORE NOW THAT MY BABY IS GOING TO BE BORN ANYDAY NOW AND WE'RE IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE!!!"
"No we're not im earning enough money from my jobs" Gohan said "And David Ivanhoe said im a shoe in for a promotion in a few monthes, things will just be a bit hard until then"
Videl looked at him, her hand on her forehead. "How could you keep this from me? You've been going behind my back for the past few monthes" she whispered "I could've gotten some money you know, Daddy wants to help us out, and i've been telling him everythings fine, when it's not"
"We're not a charity case
"I know, but we need help, and it's about time you admitted it to yourself, im going to go back to bed before your mom comes over, good night"
"Night" he whispered 'I really am sorry' he thought to himself as he watched her walk up the stairs.
A few hours later Videl walked into the Satan Household. She was going to regret this, oh boy was she. She didn't hate the man he was her father.
Hercule handed Videl a can of lemonade. "How are you feeling sweet pea?"
"I'm alright, your grandson is doing fine!!" Videl whispered "Unfortunately mommy and daddy arn't"
"what do you mean?"
"Gohan lied to me and said the house only cost $174 493.20" Videl explained when it actually cost $348 986.40, so now for the past few monthes he's taken up ane xtra three jobs"
"Do you need some money sweet pea?"
Videl nodded, then looked away ashamed. "I'm sorry for having to ask, i really am"
Hercule lifted her chin up. "there's nothing to be ashamed of, thats what im here for, to help you, how much do you need"
"Just enough until after the baby's born, then i'll get a job, and everything will work out"
"Well i'll put ten thousand in, hows that, will that help?"
"Yes it will im sorry to have to ask this" Videl said "Thank you Daddy, we will apy you back"
"Don't worry about it sweet pea" Hercule said
"Daddy give me your hand" Hercule did as he was requested. She placed his hand on her expanding belly and smiled as he felt his grand child kick.
"OH, i can't wait, how long left?"
"Any day now!!" she whispered as her phone rang. She picked it up.
"Hello"
"Hey Videl, it's Madison how are you?"
"I'm alright, how are you?"
"I'm okay, would you mind if i crashed with you for a while, Daddy has kicked me out"
"Again?"
"Yeh i know, he's really horrible when he drinks, so can I?"
"Ofcourse, we have a lot to catch up on"
"Oh cool, i can't wait, will be there tonight sometime, love you"
"Love you too"
she put the phone down. hercule stared. "Madison got kicked out!!" she explained
"Again?" Hercule said
"YEh!!"
Videl set the dinner table for three people. She hadn't seen Madison since shortly after they had graduated, and missed her terribly. She had good news for Gohan tonight, after all she had gotten them out of debt. Only thing Gohan would hate her for getting help, because as he said 'we're no charity case'. She smiled as she looked down at her large belly. Trailing her hand across, she couldn't wait til the angel in her was born.
At that moment she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. She leaned back into Gohan. "Hey!!" she whispered
"How are you feeling?" he asked gently
"Good, oh Madison's going to be staying with us for a little while"
"How is she?" Gohan asked kissing her cheek.
"She's alright, she got kicked out again"
"Again?"
"You know your the second person who's said that today when i told them"
Gohan chuckled quietly. As there was a knock on the door. He pulle dher close and began to kiss her deeply. She tried to pull away.
"Wonderboy i have to get that"
"Why?"
"It might be Madison!!" Videl breathed slightly sad now that he'd taken his arms off her. "We'll finish later"
He followed her to the door. She opened it up to see a beautiful 18 year old girl. Long black hair flowing down her shoulders. In her arms was a young boy who looked to be about 2 or 3. Videl stared.
"Madison!!" she said
"Ofcourse lunkhead who else would it be"

Lady Lunic: Sorry it took so long, the evil Darth Writers Block visited me. Ohhhh i hate him, it, whatever it is. Did you all think Videl had gone into labor at the end of the last chapter. LOL. That was thanks to an idea from Frying Pan of Doom.
OH a few of my own opinnions, you have to listen to Stacie Oricco -Without Love, and Blue -Signed Sealed Delivered, they are really good.
Also since the last update i believe i have some new reviewers, Thanks a bunch, Trunks Baby Brat is the only one i can think of at the top of my head.
Also does anybody have any idea who the little boy is thats with Madison. Here's a hint:He appeared in Walk Me Home, and was only in for a paragraph or so, he was result of the reaosn why Madison came to Satan City in the first palce.
ONe last thing Great Saiyaman the Jackson Bluesommers fic i was reffering to is now up. It is called Easier to Run , let me know ur thoughts.
Soundtrack:Stacie Oricco -Without Love, Predictable -Delta Goodrem, Strong Enough -STacie Oricco, Brave New Girl - Britney Spears.
