Chapter 9 - Getting Back on Track
Videl awoke the following morning to find herself alone in Bed. Gohan had promised they'd spend the day together. But where was he. Looking around she found pictures mostly of her and Gohan. Her eyes fixated on a picture that had Goku and Gohan , both holding Pan the little girl that for some reason she didn't want anything to do with.
'Why am i like this' she thought to herself as she looked to her side 'I'm a bad parent'. Sitting on the bed beside her was a woman.She had short black hair and lovely ceruleun blue eyes. Her figure was tiny and she was pretty. Videl froze and thne slowly opened her mouth and said one word "Mom!"
She traced her hand along Videl's cheek.
"My Darling daughter, what is wrong with you?" Panna asked "Why are you telling yourself your a bad parent?"
Videl stared she couldn't believe her mother was here talking to her. However much she wanted to talk her mouth stayed shut.
"Shorty" Panna whispered "Is it because of Gohan you feel this way?"
Videl looked at her mother shocked. How could she even dare say something like that. "Mama why did you leave me?"
"My time was up, but i've been watching you grow into a lovely young woman with the stubborness of both her parents, but the beauty that your father saw in me" Panna said "And don't think for one moment it was your fault i left this world, i know you have been doing that since it happened, and because of that you've been avoiding Pan, not wanting her to live through the pain that you had dealt with"
"But Mama" Videl whispered
"Don't try and tell me otherwise, i've talked to people as a matter of fact a friend of yours Ben Ceres i believe"
Videl stared shocked. "Ben" she whispered as tears began to fall down her cheeks. Panna moved closer and hugged her daughter close.
"He doesn't want you to hurt this much and neither do i" Panna answered "Do everyone a favor and go to the doctors, you not wel, you need to get help"
"I'm fine besides im not hurting anyone" Videl said closing her eyes peacefully.
"Then you tell me why I've had to watch my Son in Law cry at night"
Videl snapped open her ceruleun blue eyes and looked at her mother in disblief for what she was hearing. "What do you mean?"
Panna noticed the pain in her daughters eyes at hearing about her husband and lowered her voice. "You mean the world to him and your not acting yourself, he's worried, everyone is"
"I'm fine honestly" Videl whispered as her body began to shake.
She opened her eyes to find Gohan staring at her. She moaned and closed her eyes before throwing the pillow over her face.
'It was just a dream' she thought to herself 'But it felt so real'
"Sorry to wake you up, you looked uncomfortable" Gohan said smiling before leaning in to kiss her tenderly on the lips.
"Your not all that Charming Big Ears" Videl smirked
"So what Chicken Legs" Gohan teased as he began to tickle her. "I see your back to your old self Shorty"
Videl sat up and gasped for air. She smiled. "I guess i am a little"
"Good" he answered "I was worried"
"You were worried about me?" she asked
"'course i was i love you Shorty"
She smiled.
"Madison has already left they've gone to Satan Land" Gohan said sarcastically "The only theme park in the world dedicated to the Martial Arts and all things revolving around the Devil himself Hercule Satan and i do believe that they're are baby pictures of you too up on the walls Mrs Son"
She moaned and pulled the pillow of her head. "Goodnight" and with that she rolled over and went to sleep.
That night Lived was modelling a Hercule Satan hat which she said 'Satan-ated'. Gohan looked down at the child in his arms. Pan was now 3 monthes old and was very intelligent for she was laready speaking abosulte jibberish and the weird was Gohan could understand her.
Videl sipped her coffee. "Gohan can you please drop me off at Capsule Corporation tommorow when you go to work?"
"I don't see why not is everything alright?"
"Yeh everything's fine" Videl assured
"Good im gonna put Pan in bed"
"Ok" both women said nodding.
"Unkie Go'an can you tell me a story before i go to sleep?" Lived asked
"Sure come on now"
The following morning as Videl sat in Capsule Corporation with Bulma she was fidgety. Bulma handed her a cup of hot chocolate and smiled.
"I havent seen you since the birth?" Bulma said as Videl looked away sheepishly
"Yeh i havent even seen ChiChi, Goku, Goten or Dad lately either" Videl explained softly "I just havent been myself lately which is what i want to talk to you about?"
"Sure shoot!" Bulma answered
"Well it's just weird i havent been myself im hardly ever near Pan i don't want to be near her, i don't see my friends as much as i used to and, and i hurting those around me"
"Videl" Bulma whispered "I've been waiting for you to come and see me, Gohan's been telling me everything and i know whats wrong with you?"
"What?" Videl asked curoiusly
"Post Natal Depression"
Videl stared in shock. What was she on about?
"It's a mental depression that occurs to some woman after child birth, I myself went through it as did ChiChi we believe it may have something to do with the pressure of delivering a Saiyan child"
"Then why won't i get better?"
"You will it takes time, now " Bulma answered pulling out a laptop and she began to type really fast. "I'm going to give you some anti-depressiants, and these ones are invented specifically for woman like us in Saiyan relationships and will work in about 10 minutes after taking the first tablet, keep taking them until there are none left and i guarentee that you'll be better in no time"
"Really?" Videl asked smiling slightly, the woman nodded as Pan cried. Videl froze. Bulma handed her the tablets and picked up the child. "Now I'm giving Gohan the rest of the day off i want you three to go home and relax ok"
"Uh huh" Videl whispered taking the bottle from her hands.She picked up her drink and slipped a tablet in her mouth before taking a sip and sighed. 'I hope this works' Videl thought
That night Videl sat on the sofa with Madison. Lived was playing with Gohan. Videl was smiling widly as she cradled her daughter. Bulma was right, She was glad that Bulma had invented medicine that would take weeks to work.
"Hey there Sweetie!" Videl whispered in awe at the child. Pan's short black hair just curved around her face. Her black eyes were that of her fathers as Videl noticed, they were the exact same eyes that she'd fallen inlove with.
"Your a lot better tonight?" Madison whispered "Your not avoiding her"
"YeH" Videl answered "Bulam gave me some medicine and it worked like a charm"
"That's good to hear, Gohan sure is good with kids im sure your going to have no problem whatsoever with him and Pan"
"Yeh, just so you know Madison, you and Lived are welcome here whenever you want"
"We know and thank you, oh by the way what made you get help?"
"I had a dream about Mom" Videl whispered as Gohan looked at her. He stopped playing with Lived and sat beside his wife.
"Princess are you ok?"
She looked up at him and smiled. "Yeh im fine" Videl smiled "I love you Wonderboy"
"I love you too" Gohan answered as he trailed his hands along her neck where the bite mark he'd left on her neck all those years ago was.
Waking up was peaceful for Gohan, he awoke to find that he still had his head on Videl's lap, and not only that but Pan had somehow managed to drool in his hair. He got up and Pan opened her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. Gohan nodded furoisly.
"Don't wake up your mommy" He whispered as he held his hand out over the child, she reached her hand up and it was almost like she gave him a hi 5. She wiggled about as her tail squirmed. He picked her up. "Come on i'll go get you a bottle, sweetie"
Walking downstairs, he opened the front door to let some air in. He set up a baby bouncer in the kitchen on the bench as he reached for the baby powder. He slid Pan into the baby bouncer and she smiled at him. He loved the child to death. And he knew that when he first saw her, he made a promise to himself. She was not to live the life he lived, she was allowed to train and everything but he hoped she didn't have to save the world. He only hoped that Dende could fulfil his wish.
Which reminded him. He hadn't taken Pan up to see her Uncle, or God father. He would take her after breakfast.
1 Hour later
Gohan was on his way to the lookout. AS he flew up, he noticed Korin's tower and being the person he was. He wanted to show off his baby girl. So he landed.
A white cat ran up to him, as did Yajirobe. He was still big let me clarify that. At this moment Neither Korin or Yajirobe had noticed the baby and sighed.
"Another bag of senzu beans?" Korin asked
"We don't have millions of these you know" Yajirobe said
"Actually no i came to show you something" Gohan explained as he removed the blanket from around the child and showed her to the two. Both Korin and Yajirobe looked at the child in shock.
"She's cute and all but who is she?" Yajirobe asked, "Goku's been busy hasn't he?"
"Actually no he hasn't" Gohan said "She's my daughter"
"WHAT!!!?" both asked in shock
"You heard me, im actually on my way to the lookout which reminds me i gotta go" Gohan answered
"UH...Sure" Korin answered and with that the Saiyan and the baby flew off. Leaving Korin and Yajirobe still speechless.
Meanwhile Videl had awoke in her bed. He shirt was buttoned up and she didn't have her baby, or husband with her. She snapped her eyes open frantically when she noticed they were missing. She looked around and then noticed the note on the bed. Smiling she opened it up.
Dear Videl,
I have taken Pan up to the lookout to see Dende and Piccolo will be back later before i go to work, catch up on some sleep. Oh by the way Madison will be over later to see you too.
Love Gohan
She sighed and pulled the blankets over her and closed her eyes. She should enjoy the peace while she had it.
Gohan landed on the lookout, and wasn't greeted by anyone. At first he was shocked because there was ever hardly a time when he wasn't greeted by the nameks. So he walked into the building. He looked around. On the walls were pictures of all previous Gods, and lots of flowers that was for sure. Mr Popo ran out into the hall and stopped when he noticed Gohan.
"Gohan, how are you?" Mr Popo asked
"I'm fine Popo, do you know where Dende or Piccolo are?" Gohan asked
Popo nodded. "There in the kitchen, Goku' here eating" Popo explained leading him into a room.
"OH BOY THIS FOOD TASTES REALLY GOOD" Goku said chowing down on the food. He smiled as he felt a familar Ki. He looked up. "Gohan's here"
"Goku, don't you think it's a good idea to tell us why you came here in the first place?" Dende asked
"Yeah, but Gohan's here" Goku said again
"HI" Gohan said, the two nameks in the room snapped at him.
"GOHAN" Dende said happily "wHat are you doing here?"
"Hey Kid?" Piccolo answered
"Hey Piccolo, long time no see, you really should come to my place some time, Videl would love you too" Gohan said
"I'll consider it Kid"
"What brings you here Gohan?" dende repeated
HE smiled, and his whole face just seemed to light up. "I actually came to see you and Piccolo" Gohan explained "I wanted you to meet someone"
"Oh yeah who?" Dende asked
"Well, Dende your and Uncle and i have a favor to ask of you?" Gohan asked
"Sure Kid?" Piccolo asked as Gohan revealed the baby. Her tail in tact, she was now sucking her thumb. "Way to go kid"
"Piccolo would you please be her Godfather?" Gohan asked, "You were like a second father to me and i'd like you to have an impact on her life, almost as much as you did on mine"
"Consider it done" Piccolo answered, with the resemblance of a smile appearing on his face.
"Are you smiling Piccolo?" Goku asked now that he'd finished his food
"Uh no" Piccolo answered
"Also, when the time comes would you help me, Dad and Videl train her?" Gohan asked facing his master again. The Namek nodded. He could see the love for the child just but looking into his eyes.
Dende turned his attention towards Goku. "Goku now what are you doing up here anyway?" Dende asked
"Funny story actually, ChiChi threatened to hit me with the frypan if i didn't go to the shops and buy food for dinner" Goku explained
"so why arn't you shopping?" Gohan asked
"I want a last meal on earth" Goku finished as the four in the room sweat dropped.
